CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 429 JIANGHAI CITY

Next, Qin Hao first sent Gu Qinyue back home, then arranged everything here, and immediately headed to the airport. He bought the fastest flight and rushed directly to Jianghai City without any delay.

For Lin Yuhan’s life, Qin Hao had to personally make a trip to Jianghai City, and the time left for him was no more than half a month at most. Time was tight!

Airport, security checkpoint.

After passing through the final security check, Qin Hao boarded the plane smoothly and sat in first class.

Throughout the journey, he was worried, constantly frowning, with his mind full of thoughts about the Golden Stone Sect and the antidote.

The sudden emergence of ancient martial families, the secrets about Gu Qinyue, and some hidden mysteries outside of the mundane world that his master had mentioned—all these intricate clues intertwined together, forming a massive vortex, and Qin Hao felt as if he was about to be in the eye of the storm once again.

As he lowered his head deep in thought, an immense pressure enveloped his chest and back, pressing him tightly into the seat, and only then did he realize that, unbeknownst to him, the plane had taken off.

He glanced out the small cabin window, watching the ground below shrink continuously as the prosperity of the Provincial Government was gradually replaced by hazy clouds. Once the plane reached the stratosphere, nothing but vast, white, and soft clouds filled the view beneath his feet.

These scenes were nothing out of the ordinary. Qin Hao just absent-mindedly stared outside, until a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, would you like something to drink?"

Only then did Qin Hao turn his head to see a stewardess uniform tailored perfectly. The first thing he noticed was the long legs and proud bust line.

He looked up, and a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of him, with a polite smile directed at Qin Hao. Qin Hao slightly shook his head and said, "No, thank you."

After speaking, he gently turned his head back to continue gazing at the monotonous clouds outside.

The stewardess was Yu Xiangru; she paused in surprise at this. She was well aware of her own beauty, and usually the so-called elite businessmen in first class would be enamored with her to the point of being spellbound, yet they pretended to be reserved, trying to engage in more conversation with her.

She had never encountered someone as indifferent as the man before her today. Immediately, Yu Xiangru gave Qin Hao another look of astonishment, then continued down the aisle.

Beside Qin Hao sat a young man who appeared to be from a wealthy family. When Yu Xiangru came to inquire with Qin Hao, his eyes were practically glued to Yu Xiangru. He felt a burning fire within.

Even though women were never lacking around him, such an exceptional one was rare to encounter.

Just as he was preparing to flirt with this exceptional stewardess, Yu Xiangru, having asked Qin Hao, directly ignored him and walked away.

At that moment, the man promptly stood up and urgently shouted, "Hey, why are you leaving? You haven’t asked me what I want to drink!"

Yu Xiangru heard this and slightly frowned, unable to help showing a bit of disdain in her expression. This man had been staring at her legs, as if his eyes wished to delve through her uniform. She had encountered many hypocrites who found all sorts of excuses to appreciate her beauty, but such a straightforward, openly lecherous person was a first.

Therefore, Yu Xiangru naturally didn’t want to offer him a good face and simply ignored him.

After being called by him, she helplessly shook her head internally, once again putting on the impeccable smile, walked over, and said to him, "I’m sorry, sir, I thought you, like this gentleman, didn’t need anything."

As she spoke, her gaze deepened on Qin Hao once more, but Qin Hao still kept his head turned, looking outside, as if everything happening here had nothing to do with him.

Hearing Yu Xiangru’s words, the man chuckled and said, "Hehe, I’m not like some people who don’t appreciate ’gentle reservations.’ This beautiful lady, may I know your name?"

Yu Xiangru smiled faintly and replied, "My surname is Yu. Sir, what can I get you?"

"Oh, so it’s Miss Yu, tsk tsk, won’t you even share your full name? Mr. Jin here is very interested in getting to know you."

As he spoke, he scrutinized Yu Xiangru more unscrupulously.

This man was Jin Song, from the prominent Jin family in Jianghai City. The Jin family was a major clan in Jianghai, renowned to the point that even a mere mention could cause tremors. With such a background for support, Jin Song naturally acted arrogantly, without scruples.

Yu Xiangru felt uncomfortable under his gaze but maintained her courteous smile, saying, "Mr. Jin, please let me know what you need. There are many passengers waiting, and I need to attend to all the guests in the cabin."

After she finished speaking, Jin Song slightly smiled and said, "Alright, Miss Yu, bring me a glass of Champagne first."

"Very well, sir, please wait a moment." Yu Xiangru said, about to turn around, but something stirred in her mind, prompting her to turn back to Qin Hao, saying, "Sir, are you sure you don’t want a glass of Champagne either?"

Qin Hao was still immersed in his thoughts; this trip to Jianghai City felt unfamiliar with serious dangers awaiting, and back home, Lin Yuhan’s life was in jeopardy, compounded by the mysterious ancient martial families. All of these required Qin Hao to be extremely cautious and meticulously plan this journey to Jianghai City.

With so many concerns, he naturally didn’t notice the stewardess’s words until Yu Xiangru raised her voice, and he finally reacted.

"Sir? Are you listening? Would you like a glass of Champagne?"

After asking, Yu Xiangru regretted it a lot, because Qin Hao didn’t hear her question at all, still looking outside, absorbed in his world.

This made her feel a little awkward, but having already asked, Yu Xiangru could only brace herself and continue raising her voice to ask.

When Qin Hao reacted, he still shook his head indifferently and said, "Thank you, I don’t need anything."

Yu Xiangru immediately nodded with disappointment, then turned to leave, feeling a bit embarrassed. Meanwhile, Jin Song, sitting next to Qin Hao, had a more dissatisfied expression.

This exceptional stewardess was indifferent to him, yet she repeatedly proactively inquired of this kid. Growing up, Jin Song had developed a strong sense of superiority, and receiving such a drastic disparity in treatment made him naturally unhappy.

He snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Qin Hao, and said, "Hmph! Where does this bumpkin come from, acting so aloof?"
