Just then, the waiter brought in the dishes.

Wan Rou saw this and asked, "Do you know what's happening down there?"

The waiter glanced out the window and said, "Oh, you don't know yet, do you? The city lord's daughter went missing a few days ago. It was that red-clad heroine and Master Fanze who found her. They caught that lecherous thief, so the people were happy and went out into the streets to surround them."

Not hearing what she wanted, Wan Rou said with some disappointment, "...Oh, is that so?"

The waiter said with a smile, "Yes, the red-clad heroine has kung fu skills, and Master Fanze has cultivation. When the two of them work together, they are invincible."

The waiter spoke with a hint of longing in his voice; who didn't dream of becoming a knight-errant when they were young?

Upon seeing this, Wan Rou couldn't help but purse her lips.

In the crowd.

An elderly man with a cane walked over and addressed Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze.

"Two great heroes, please, please look for my granddaughter as well!"

The old man, with his white hair and sorrowful expression, was about to kneel down in front of them.

Chi Qiangwei quickly pulled the old man away, "Grandpa, you mustn't!"

"Please, kind people, save my granddaughter!"

Song Fanze had always been concerned about the world, and all his cultivation was for the purpose of helping people. When he heard about the old man's matter, he immediately agreed.

Chi Qiangwei said, "Grandpa, don't worry, we and the government will not give up on the case of the missing girls in Shicheng."

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Thank you, thank you."

...

After the waiter left, Wan Rou also went out to brew medicine for Xu An.

At this moment, Li Yi walked in.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze, who were still on the street below.

He looked at Xu An and smiled, "Brother Xu, are you comfortable staying here?"

Upon seeing that it was him, Xu An immediately smiled politely and said, "Brother Li, you have found such a wonderful place for me to recuperate. Thank you for your trouble."

Li Yi laughed and said, "Brother Xu, what kind of relationship do we have? Don't stand on ceremony with me. As long as you're satisfied with this place, that's all that matters. This entire building is under my name, and there are plenty of empty rooms. You can stay wherever you like."

Xu An was somewhat surprised. He was curious about what kind of business Li Yi was in that he had built such a large empire in just a few years.

His abilities have surpassed those of his father.

Then, Li Yi leaned over and asked, "Brother Xu, have you thought about that matter?"

Upon hearing this, Xu An's eyes flickered slightly.

Li Yi urged, "Brother Xu, this is a golden opportunity, it won't come again."

Xu An: "Brother Li, is that the only way?"

Li Yi said, "Of course, if you weren't my good brother, I wouldn't have told you about this good thing. But, Brother Xu, I've already said this much. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one. Don't blame me then."

Xu An clenched his fingers, took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision, and said, "Yes, I've thought it through. I'll do it the way you said."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he patted him on the shoulder.

“Brother Xu, it’s good that you think this way. Once you’re cured, what can’t you have within your reach? With your abilities, if you hadn’t gotten this disease, you would have already brought honor to your ancestors and become a high-ranking official.”

"Once you recover, I'll go into business and you'll become an official. We'll work together and have whatever we want. No one will dare to defy us again, and we'll pay back all those who bullied us before."

Xu An was captivated by what he said, and the desire and lust for power were ignited in his eyes.

Li Yi pointed to the houses and said, "Brother Xu, do you see them? These will all be yours in the future."

...

After returning from the street, Chi Qiangwei went straight to Xu Anxin's new residence.

At this moment, Li Yigang left.

When Wan Rou saw Chi Qiangwei return, she was completely displeased.

Xu An saw that she was still the same as before.

"Rose, you're back."

Chi Qiangwei walked over and smiled, "Xu An, you look better lately."

Xu An said, "Perhaps it's because I'm in a new environment."

He asked, "Have you eaten?"

Chi Qiangwei nodded, "I ate. The city lord just treated Master Fanze and me."

“Oh…” Xu An lowered his eyes.

Chi Qiangwei sat by his bedside. "Xu An, I know I've neglected you these past few days. Unless it's something important, I'll try my best to spend time with you from now on."

At this moment, the city lord's subordinates came to Chi Qiangwei.

"Heroine, a young girl's body has been found in Yuehe, and another young girl went missing in Shicheng last night."

Chi Qiangwei was taken aback and quickly stood up.

"Did Song Fanze call out too?"

The subordinate bowed his head. "Master Fanze hasn't left yet. Our city lord went to invite him personally."

Chi Qiangwei: "I understand, I'll be right there."

Then, his subordinate left.

Chi Qiangwei quickly packed her things, and Xu An asked, "Qiangwei, are you leaving again?"

Chi Qiangwei: "Xu An, I'm sorry, but I promised that old man I would help him find his granddaughter."

The flowers that she lived with back then were destroyed, and she had to expend a lot of her cultivation to barely save some of them.

She was powerless to do anything about it; she could only watch helplessly as her former friends disappeared before her eyes.

When a person dies, there is still a corpse; when demons die, there is nothing left.

"Several young girls have gone missing in Shicheng, and the people are filled with fear. They've been captured by those bad guys, and they must be terrified. They're clinging to their only hope that their families will come to rescue them, and I don't want their last hope to turn into despair..."

After she finished speaking, her eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Xu An didn't notice the change in her expression. He said, "What if I don't want you to leave?"

Chi Qiangwei looked at him and said, "I'm going to help those people find their daughters. Shouldn't you be happy for me?"

Xu An settled down.

He sat by the window, watching Chi Qiangwei's departing figure, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Rose, since you insist on leaving, then don't blame me."

Wan Rou was happy to see Chi Qiangwei leave, because now no one would come to compete with her for Xu An.

...

On the banks of the Moon River.

Lying there was a girl dressed in blue, her skin white from being soaked in water.

Her identity has been confirmed; she is a resident of Shicheng and the girl who went missing a few days ago.

At this moment, her parents lay on their daughter's body, weeping uncontrollably.

When Chi Qiangwei arrived, she couldn't bear to see such a scene and asked the guards, "Have you found anything?"

The head guard shook his head. "No."

Song Fanze brought several disciples over, and they saw the girl's cold body.

A hint of reluctance appeared on their faces as they clasped their hands together and said, "Amitabha."

Immediately, Song Fanze and his disciples sat cross-legged, and soon the sounds of chanting and striking wooden fish filled the air…
