"Boy friend?"

Hearing the girl's words, everyone was very surprised. As for Shen Zongwen, who was standing in front of Huo Ling'er, he was even taken aback and his face turned pale.

"Ling'er, you...you have a boyfriend?"

He asked incredulously.

"Yes." Huo Ling'er nodded with a smile.

"Then why have I never heard you mention him?" The freckled girl glanced at the stunned Shen Zongwen and asked, seemingly out of curiosity. "We've known each other for a month, and I don't think I've ever seen him?"

Upon hearing the freckled girl's question, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Shen Zongwen's eyes, and he looked at Huo Ling'er as well.

"Because he doesn't seem quite willing to admit that I'm his girlfriend."

Huo Ling'er bit her lip, her expression somewhat sad. "He made a request, and I can only go to him if I fulfill it."

What?

The people in the cabin all wondered if they had misheard.

How could anyone reject such a lovely girl as Huo Ling'er!

They even made demands of her!

"This, this is simply..." Shen Zongwen was furious but didn't know what to say.

"Wait a minute, Ling'er, this sounds like unrequited love!" The freckled girl was taken aback for a moment, then realized something from Huo Ling'er's words.

Shen Zongwen also realized what was happening, took a deep breath and said, "Ling'er, I'm not pretending anymore... I really do like you."

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Zongwen, and my father is Shen Anhuai... Shen Anhuai of Longgang Group."

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Shen Zongwen added another sentence.

Looking at the boy's confident demeanor, Huo Ling'er was completely bewildered, while several classmates nearby gasped in surprise.

"Shen Anhuai?"

"Shen Anhuai, the richest man in Chongqing?"

"Wow, Shen Zongwen, you've been hiding this well... No wonder you can produce pills worth tens of thousands of coins at any time."

The group was all shocked, clearly having heard of Shen Anhuai.

"My current cultivation level is the third stage of advanced martial artist, and my secondary profession is advanced physician. I only need to pass one more assessment to be promoted to spiritual physician."

The young man, with a touch of arrogance and bright, clear eyes, spoke calmly.

Everyone in the car except Huo Ling'er was so shocked that they couldn't speak. Even the driver, Lao Wang, was stunned for a moment.

This is an era where everyone practices martial arts. Apart from the extremely distant realm of mountains and seas, everyone has a clear understanding of the division of martial arts stages.

Although most people start learning martial arts during their student years, many fail to become beginner martial artists by the time they graduate from high school. Even graduates from top martial arts universities, if they have the cultivation of intermediate martial artists when they enter society, can be considered elites and easily find jobs with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands.

Shen Zongwen was at most twenty years old, yet he was already a high-level martial artist, which was nothing short of a fantasy to them.

Seeing that Huo Ling'er remained silent for a long time, the young man assumed she didn't quite believe him, and said somewhat anxiously, "Entering the medical school was just a transition. I received an invitation from the Thousand Star Society and can go to Huawu at any time, but I never expected to meet you..."

Huo Ling'er finally came to her senses and nodded. "I know about the Thousand Star Society. You are a very outstanding boy."

Just as Shen Zongwen was overjoyed, Huo Ling'er shook her head with a smile, "But I really do have someone I like, so... I'm sorry."

"Why?" Shen Zongwen said somewhat indignantly, "I don't know what kind of person you like, but I'm confident that I'm no worse than him..."

"You are really not as good as him."

Huo Ling'er suddenly interrupted Shen Zongwen and said very seriously.

Shen Zongwen was stunned, then realized from Huo Ling'er's clear eyes that she wasn't joking. As if he had thought of something, he asked, with disbelief, "Could it be that his age..."

“No, he’s about my age, maybe even a little younger than you,” Huo Ling’er said, shaking her head as she explained, seeing that Shen Zongwen had misunderstood.

Upon hearing this, the freckled girl and the others nearby also showed expressions of disbelief.

Is he even more outstanding than Shen Zongwen?

How is that possible!

Anyone with the cultivation level of a beginner martial artist before graduating from high school will be sought after by prestigious schools, let alone someone like Shen Zongwen.

"Ling'er, you didn't just make up a character on purpose, did you?" the freckled girl questioned.

“You’ll see him soon,” Huo Ling’er said with a smile. “He will come to save us.”

Only then did everyone remember that Huo Ling'er had said before that she had contacted that "boyfriend".

"Ling'er, I don't know what that person said to you, but this is a restricted area!"

Shen Zongwen said excitedly, "Let alone a high-level martial artist like me, even a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm wouldn't dare to traverse the restricted area at night. I just contacted my dad, and he just told me to wait patiently. The rescue might not arrive until dawn."

The people in the cabin remained silent, all knowing that what Shen Zongwen said was true.

In all textbooks, the forbidden zone is described as a hellish place. Shan Hai only has the qualifications to enter the forbidden zone, but he still has to be very careful.

For individuals like them who have become separated from the main force, rescue efforts can only begin once the authorities have mobilized sufficient resources and have accurately located them.

No one knows how long this process will take; it could be a few hours, a few days… and there are even many news reports of particles disappearing forever while waiting.

"Your father is Shen Zongwen, so they should come looking for us first, right?" The freckled girl said nervously, thinking of those terrifying rumors.

"Of course, I've already told my dad. Don't worry, as long as the rescue team is dispatched, they will do their best to find us. They won't dare to slack off."
