"What's the big deal about being a Master of Transformation? My master is a powerhouse from the Divine Realm. Even a Master of Transformation must respectfully address my master as 'Senior' when they meet," Master Wu scoffed.
"I've already sent someone to investigate that kid's background. Since he offended you, Master Wu, he definitely won't have a good ending," Zhao Hun flattered.
The next day was Monday. Early in the morning, Jiang Chen and Ding Yan boarded a boat heading to Hong Kong Island. Jiang Chen had some understanding of the forces on Hong Kong Island. Guo Weimu from the Guo Family and Liu Toukang from the Liu Family both became wealthy through the Pharmaceutical Industry and were considered tycoons on Hong Kong Island. Lin Rumei from the Kong Island Qinghe Society was also a significant force there.
The Azure Green Society had been entrenched in Hong Kong Island for a long time and had grown considerably. Although they had kept a low profile in recent years, they still engaged in unsavory activities. Such forces as the Azure Green Society existed not only on Earth but also in the realm of cultivation; wherever there are people, there are bound to be dark forces. Jiang Chen generally preferred not to meddle in such matters.
However, on Earth, especially in Huaxia, there were certain issues that Jiang Chen would naturally address when encountered. As Jiang Chen and Ding Yan boarded the cruise ship, which had multiple departures throughout the day to Hong Kong Island, Ding Yan, a stunning mixed-race beauty over 1.7 meters tall, attracted many gazes dressed in hot pants and a tank top due to the summer heat.
"Jingzhu, look! That seems to be Jiang Chen," a voice suddenly called out from behind.
Jiang Chen's keen hearing picked up on the voice, prompting him to turn around. He saw Lin Jingzhu and a group of people boarding the ship as well. Upon spotting Jiang Chen, Lin Jingzhu's face lit up with joy as she rushed over.
"Jiang Chen! What are you doing here? Are you also visiting Hong Kong Island?" Lin Jingzhu asked with a smile.
"Well, you could say it's a trip. It really is quite a coincidence that we run into each other here," Jiang Chen replied with a grin.
Lin Jingzhu blushed slightly and shyly said, "With summer vacation coming up and no classes left, some classmates organized this trip for us. We chose a five-day tour of Hong Kong Island and Aodao. We've almost finished exploring Aodao and have three days left to enjoy Hong Kong Island. Since it's a trip, why don't we go together?"
As Lin Jingzhu spoke, her classmates continued boarding the ship. The one who had just spoken was Zhou Xuemei, who had traveled around West Lake with Jiang Chen before.
"Hey, Jiang Chen! You and Jingzhu really have fate; you can even meet here," Zhou Xuemei said cheerfully, already familiar with Jiang Chen.
"Xue Mei, you ran into him too," Lin Jingzhu said happily but felt compelled to temper her excitement.
Out of politeness, Jiang Chen smiled at Zhou Xuemei as a greeting.
"Handsome Jiang, who is this beautiful lady beside you?" Zhou Xuemei asked upon noticing Ding Yan standing nearby.
Lin Jingzhu couldn't help but glance at Ding Yan. Seeing how tall and beautiful Ding Yan was made Lin Jingzhu feel somewhat ashamed of herself.
"I’m a friend of Mr. Jiang," Ding Yan explained.
Jiang Chen smiled, acknowledging her statement without needing to say much more to Zhou Xuemei and the others.
Zhou Xuemei nudged Lin Jingzhu with her elbow, wearing a knowing expression that made Lin Jingzhu uneasy. In Zhou Xuemei's eyes, Jiang Chen was Lin Jingzhu's boyfriend, and being with another woman naturally felt off.
Lin Jingzhu felt a bit awkward. Although she had once been Jiang Chen's girlfriend and still had feelings for him, she understood that with Jiang Chen's current capabilities, he had likely moved on from her. During their university days, Lin Jingzhu had often mentioned Jiang Chen in front of Zhou Xuemei, so Zhou Xuemei was well aware of Lin Jingzhu's feelings.
