The person that Shan Bing had sent over was actually his secretary, Tian Li.
Tian Li knew of the strong relationship between Shan Bing and Wei Xiao Bei so he was very respectful to him.
When Wei Xiao Bei just left the dojo and gotten in the car, Tian Li immediately reported, “Mr. Wei. Your trip has been arranged as follows. You will ride the 15:00 flight 831 from Cui Hu Airport to Jiang Xiang City. At 17:00, you will check-in at Danius Hotel. At 18:00, a meal will be served at the Vienna Restaurant of the hotel. At 19:00, you will participate in an auction at the reception room of the hotel. That is the entire course of events. I will be accompanying you at all times.”
“Okay, not bad.”
Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head. He was satisfied with the secretary’s arrangements.
“Mr. Wei, Do you plan to stay in Jiang Xiang City for a few days after the auction or immediately return back to Cui Hu City?”
As a personal secretary, Tian Li needed to consider all the events from start to end.
“Immediately return.”
Wei Xiao Bei did not have any plans to sightsee in Jiang Xiang City. He had a lot of things he needed to do and could not waste any time.
“Then I will immediately purchase the 22:00 flight back to Cui Hu City.
Saying this, Tian Li immediately made a phone call and prepared for it.
Tian Li did not dare neglect Wei Xiao Bei. It must be known that this he had also been ordered by his Young Master. He could not make Wei Xiao Bei dissatisfied during this trip to Jiang Xiang City. Otherwise, Shan Bing would not forgive him.
The extended mini passenger van quickly reached the airport. Wei Xiao Bei was accompanied by Tian Li as they entered through a special path to the aircraft parking ground and got on the plane.
Of course, their seats were in the 1st class cabins.
Wei Xiao Bei had already flown in the 1st class cabin before, so he was not unfamiliar with it.
Perhaps worried that Wei Xiao Bei might be bored on the journey, Tian Li quickly struck up a conversation about the plane which interested Wei Xiao Bei.
After all, planes were things that men naturally were interested in.
Wei Xiao Bei was not a conceited noble person. As Tian Li’s nature was not bad, Wei Xiao Bei would not drive him away.
1 Wei Xiao Bei’s good-nature relieved Tian Li. Afterward, their conversation was all-inclusive and did not hold anything back.
However, in the following conversation, Tian Li was amazed to find out that Wei Xiao Bei was extremely knowledgeable.
Isn’t this person a martial artist?
How could he be this amazing?
The conversation between the two shifted to the subject of cars. Wei Xiao Bei actually knew what to do when a car was out of oil, knew how to calculate the amount of water to put in the car’s fuel tank, how to accurately control the amount of remaining oil and many other things.
This kind of thing could be found anywhere.
Tian Li felt that he was simply an elementary school student in front of Wei Xiao Bei.
Luckily, as a personal secretary, Tian Li was required to learn many things. Otherwise, Tian Li might not have had anything else to say once the conversation stopped.
Naturally, Tian Li did not know that Wei Xiao Bei was not an ordinary person.
The plane flew quietly as the two of them conversed. The stewardess began to move back and forth in the plane to service the passengers.
“Sir, what food and drinks do you want?”
A beautiful stewardess walked to their side and inquired.
“A cup of tea.”
Wei Xiao Bei only liked to drink tea. He did not like carbonated beverages at all.
Naturally, this did not mean that he was afraid that carbonated drinks would affect his body. With Wei Xiao Bei’s current constitution, even if he drank a pot of white arsenic, the most that would happen was a stomachache. This choice was only his personal preference.
“Give me tea as well.”
Wei Xiao Bei was a bit astonished by Tian Li’s words.
When the tea was served by the stewardess, Tian Li raised his cup and looked at it before taking a sip. He then immediately frowned, “Cui Hu Bamboo Leaf Tea? The tea that this plane serves is quite ordinary.”
Wei Xiao Bei could not help but smile, “Do you also have knowledge of tea?”
“A bit, a bit.”
Tian Li was being a bit modest.
Wei Xiao Bei formed a good opinion of Tian Li.
It could be said that in this showy era, there were few people who researched and enjoyed tea.
People like this were typically quite good-natured.
From this, it could be seen that two men would be able to easily become friends once they realized they had common interests.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei and Tian Li had not yet reached the stage of being intimate. Their relationship was slightly above that of normal and only ordinary friends.
However, this was already not bad in Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes.
It must be known that with Wei Xiao Bei’s experience, becoming his friend was not an easy thing to do.
Wei Xiao Bei also sipped the tea, and it was indeed as Tian Li had said.
He immediately used [Enlightenment] on the tea to tell where the tea came from.
The Dojo’s tea was also this Cui Hu Bamboo Leaf Tea. Wei Xiao Bei’s understanding of tea was not quite deep, but he was familiar with this taste.
After drinking the tea, Wei Xiao Bei’s became less talkative. He then began to sit comfortably and play around with the table in front of him.
In truth, the table in this flight class was actually a tablet computer. It could allow the guests to watch a movie and play games to pass time.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei stop talking, Tian Li did not bother him anymore and leaned back on his seat, as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The plane was flying at an altitude of 12,000 meters.
In the wide cockpit, the chief pilot and the co-pilot sat in front of the dials. They were enjoying the coffee that the stewardess had served them.
In other people’s eyes, a pilot had a great job.
They had high salaries and enjoyed a lot of leisure time. They also got to sightsee and look at beautiful stewardesses.
Naturally, even the officials knew that a pilot’s job was easy as long as nothing unusual happened. However, once something happened, then things would not be easy.
“Xiao Chen, take watch first. I’m going to the toilet.”
Perhaps because he had drunk too much coffee, the chief pilot felt the urge to urinate. He instructed his copilot and walked to the toilet at the back.
“C-c-captain!”
Just as the chief pilot stepped into the toilet, the co-pilot immediately shouted with a hurried voice. He was alarmed and stuttering in fear.
“What happened?” The chief pilot could not help but get angry. He was almost close to peeing in his pants, but Xiao Chen had called him back. Moreover, he was speaking as if he had a stutter.
“F-f-f-f-flying fish!”
At this time, Xiao Chen finally said what he wanted to say even if he was stuttering.
The chief pilot impatiently turned around and looked outside the cockpit. He was in such shock that he didn’t even notice that his pee was already leaking.
At this time, the plane was high up in the air. Fish that were around 1-2 meters long were lazily moving about and their numbers were in the hundreds.
These were not just any ordinary fish. These fish had large wings that flapped continuously. They could even maintain the same speed as the plane.
We are 12,000 meters in the air! In the stratosphere!
Not in the seas!
How could there be a group of fish!
My God! Am I seeing an illusion?
Both the chief pilot and co-pilot thought they were hallucinating.
However, when the chief pilot pinched his thigh, he confirmed that what they were seeing was not an illusion and that the fish were in fact real.
Regardless of what species those fish were or why they were 12,000 meters in the air, the captain quickly moved to the control panel and instructed his copilot, “Quickly contact air control and tell him our situation! Quickly! Immediately!”
In an instant, the chief pilot sat back in his seat. He did not even care that his pants were wet as it was just a minor problem compared to what he was witnessing right now.
After removing his pants, the chief pilot began to control the plane.
He had no choice. These fish appeared to be interested in the plane and continued to draw closer to it.
Everybody knew that the most terrifying thing that could happen to a plane was not lightning nor freezing, but colliding!
A bird hitting the plane was not a big deal as it was a regular occurrence.
Everyone knew this.
However, the scene in front was different. These fish were not charging at them from the front but from the sides. It may have seemed as though the chief pilot was being excessively cautious.
However, given the current situation, his caution was not excessive at all.
The fish might be moving in the same direction as the plane, but there were hundreds of them. Once they got close to the plane, the plane’s aerodynamic configuration layout would be affected. It might even jeopardize the plane’s flight and cause the plane to become unstable.
In addition, if the fish attacked the plane, the plane would definitely descend.
In the 1st class cabin, the passengers were mostly dozing off. At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei frowned.
For Wei Xiao Bei, even if he did not use [Response Pulse], the fish that had been moving closer already caught his attention.
Their bodies carried the aura of the Dust World.
He never imagined that the situation would become this nasty as monsters from the Dust World appeared in the air.
The only thing Wei Xiao Bei was happy about was that these fish were not too strong. They were only normal 2-Star Creatures. The only reason they could reach this height was due to their innate ability.
Naturally, even if these fish were weak, Wei Xiao Bei remained vigilant.
