Gorgeous CEO Fell in Love with Me

Ice Mountain!

This is not just an ordinary mountain!

In summer, the mountainside is lush with green trees, yet the mountain peak remains covered with thick snow, piercing the clouds. No matter how hot the weather, the snow at the summit never melts!

This has attracted many tourists who love to watch the snow!

At the foothill of Ice Mountain, there is a small town. Initially, it was impoverished, but as Ice Mountain was developed into a tourist spot, the locals started opening shops selling all kinds of local specialties, and gradually, the place became bustling!

Upon arriving in the town, Lin Fan and his group parked the bus in the parking lot. Led by Lin Fan, they disembarked and headed into the town!

At the center of the town lies an ancient alley, with two rows of small shops on either side, where many tourists are purchasing local specialties!

In the ancient alley, many local guides can be seen approaching tourists without guides, offering their services to earn a living!

Just as Lin Fan and his group entered the alley, a guide approached them to inquire, but Lin Fan declined all the offers!

"Sir, do you need a guide? I’m a local and know Ice Mountain very well; I could guide you around with my eyes closed!"

At this moment, a girl suddenly approached Lin Fan!

She wore a small red hat on her head, held a small flag in her hand, with a charming and attractive face and a well-proportioned figure, truly a little beauty!

"Can you really navigate Ice Mountain with your eyes closed?" Nie Lei asked skeptically!

However, Lin Fan and his group were not there for tourism, so Lin Fan said, "Sorry, we don’t need a guide!"

After speaking, Lin Fan stepped towards the end of the alley!

Seeing Lin Fan leave, the girl’s expression froze, revealing a hint of urgency!

After hesitating for a moment, the girl quickly caught up with Lin Fan and his group, staying close behind!

Lin Fan and his group walked through the alley, only to discover a stone step path leading up the mountain, but upon inquiry, Lin Fan learned that the path only went to the mountainside and didn’t continue due to the thick snow further up, as there was a risk of avalanches, thus no steps were constructed higher!

Since Gu Tianfeng said Wind Celestial Tower is in Ice Mountain, he wouldn’t deceive us, and the Martial World factions are mostly very hidden, ordinary people simply can’t find them. Perhaps there’s another path to Wind Celestial Tower within this large mountain!

At this point, Lin Fan caught sight of a figure following them from behind and turned to discover it was the guide girl from earlier!

"Why are you following us?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"I guessed you’re here for tourism without a guide, surely you’ll need one eventually, so I followed!" The girl said with a smug smile!

"Are you positive you can navigate Ice Mountain with your eyes closed?" Lin Fan asked.

"That was just hyperbole earlier! But I’ve grown up here, frequently played on the mountain as a child, and my familiarity with Ice Mountain is akin to knowing my own home!" The girl said confidently!

"Oh?"

Lin Fan raised an intrigued eyebrow at her words!

Then, Lin Fan tentatively asked, "Do you happen to know if there are ancient structures on this mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the girl’s beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a glint!

But quickly, she concealed that glint, her face once again adorned with a smile!

However, Lin Fan couldn’t ignore the girl’s subtle actions!

Lin Fan noted this with a hint of suspicion, previously feeling the girl was normal, yet her change in gaze and her following us heightened his wariness!

Nevertheless, Lin Fan paid little heed; a mere girl posed no threat, and if she was from Wind Celestial Tower, that would be beneficial, as Lin Fan was struggling to find the path, and she could lead the way!

This girl was none other than Lu Zhantian’s daughter, Lu Yao!

Feigning contemplation, Lu Yao asked, "Once, as a child with my dad on the mountain, we got lost, by chance stumbled through snowy land and found ancient architecture, but why are you searching for it? The Ice Mountain’s scenery is far more alluring!"

"Haha! Young lady, our tourism is secondary; our main goal is recruiting someone from that place. Can you take us there?" Lin Fan said, smiling.

"It’s a tough path and costly; are you sure you want to go?" Lu Yao confirmed pointedly.

"Absolutely! The person we’re looking for is crucial to us; cost is irrelevant!"

Lin Fan gestured to Nie Lei, who promptly took out a stack of bills, nearly three thousand!

Nie Lei handed the money to Lu Yao, smiling: "Is this sufficient?"

"More than enough! If you wish to go, I’ll take you!"

Lu Yao pretended to be money-eyed, taking the bills and pocketing them: "Please follow me!"

As she spoke, Lu Yao led the way up the stone steps!

Lin Fan wasn’t in a rush, instead signaling to Nie Lei and their brothers to be cautious, then followed closely behind Lu Yao!

Soon, they reached Ice Mountain’s midsection, where the steps ended!

Lu Yao explained, "Last time, I attempted to climb higher with my father, getting lost, and inadvertently found those ancient structures!"

"Then let’s proceed!" Lin Fan said casually.

"Sure!"

Lu Yao nodded but turned, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes!

Subsequently, Lu Yao guided them to climb a more challenging path contrary to the direction taken by the mysterious figure towards Wind Celestial Tower, and this place was truly treacherous!

They had barely walked three meters when the soil vanished, turning into white snow!

Continuing onward, the snow thickened, submerging half of Lin Fan and his group’s lower legs, making walking exceptionally arduous!

The cold wind blasted, extremely frigid, causing them to shiver!

A vast white expanse lay before them, thick snow everywhere, with trees also encased in frost, forming ice sculptures reflecting dazzling silver under the sun!

Yet, upon seeing the terrain ahead, Lin Fan’s brow furrowed!

Being from the Martial World as well, Lin Fan was quite knowledgeable about its factions!

Although these Martial World factions hide in secluded places, they always create a shortcut leading to their base!

Presently, there’s merely thick snow that makes traversing tedious, no faction would make the path leading to their gate this difficult!

Martial World factions are traditional, quite superstitious about rough pathways to their doors being an auspicious symbol!
