Liu Xiangxun was deeply moved after hearing this. Although no one in the Liu family would bully her, these bold words warmed her heart.
"Sister Mengli, you're so kind!" Her eyes were red, and she was so moved she wanted to cry.
"Father told me to ask my sister about the purpose of our journey north, but she's been so good to me, I can't bring myself to say it!"
Fengxi looked surprised and rolled her eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, "I did hear my brother mention that when Master saved me, he discovered that a celestial scripture had appeared nearby, but time was of the essence, so he didn't have time to investigate and returned to the sect first."
"After I woke up and recovered, my master sent my brother to take me north. However, I remembered that I still had some things to bring back from home, so I was delayed for a while. But I also have a senior sister who has already gone to the place where the immortal scripture was born."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangxun was so moved that she hugged Mengli's slender waist and sobbed softly, "Sister Mengli told me such an important thing, she is so kind to me."
Fengxi imitated Lin Fan, reaching out to pat her head with a smile, finding it quite amusing.
Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to go back to rest.
"My two beauties, what are you planning to do?"
Suddenly a man carrying a folding fan walked over and blocked the two women's way.
He had a handsome face and an elegant demeanor, and was dressed in the manners of a wealthy family.
"We are members of the Liu family. If you don't want to die, get lost." Liu Xiangxun frowned and warned fiercely when she saw the newcomer's frivolous eyes and sinister expression.
The man turned to the side, fanning the two of them slightly with his fan. Feng Xi felt a little dizzy, her face turned cold, and she picked up Liu Xiangxun, intending to leave.
However, the two collapsed after taking only a few steps. Upon seeing this, the man smiled faintly and tried to take them away.
A sharp longsword appeared at his neck, instantly making him tremble, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
"Speak up. If you can say something that satisfies me, I might consider leaving."
Lin Fan walked out, his eyes filled with a coldness.
"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about?" The man tried to explain, but suddenly his body stiffened, a needle pierced his back, his heart contracted sharply, and he felt a sharp pain.
Lin Fan sheathed his sword and said calmly, "My poison can devour your heart and split your soul. It can torment you for forty-nine days until you die. Don't worry, I'm very patient with you."
He snapped his fingers, and Lei Yunshi emerged from the darkness. He then raised his sleeves and used his spiritual power to lift the two unconscious women onto the carriage.
"Sir, I'll talk!" the man wailed in pain, rolling on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, his face contorted in terror.
Lin Fan channeled a stream of spiritual energy to alleviate his pain.
"My name is Han Chao. I am not from Yundu City, but from Jingchu. I just arrived here today. I saw the two fairies with their stunning beauty and harbored evil intentions, so I offended them. Please spare my life, sir." He looked at Lin Fan with fear and said with some trembling.
"Are you a flower thief?" Lin Fan asked.
"That's right!" he said truthfully, his voice trembling.
"Go on!" Lin Fan said calmly.
"I wonder what you want me to say, sir?" he said cautiously, shrinking back.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tearing sensation in his heart, and his whole body felt like ants were crawling in his flesh, causing excruciating pain.
"I truly do not know what you wish to ask, sir!" Han Chao pleaded in anguish, convulsing on the ground.
Lin Fan sat calmly at the front of the carriage and said indifferently, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I have plenty of time. I'll talk until you want to!"
He grabbed Han Chao and threw him up, sending Lei Yunshi hurtling towards the dark, deserted alley.
Han Chao was being tortured as if he were in hell. He was in so much pain that his eyes kept rolling back, his body kept convulsing, and his voice was hoarse.
"It was Old Guai who asked me to do this. He promised me 100,000 spirit stones as a reward and 10,000 spirit stones as a deposit!" Han Chao's face was contorted, his lips were bitten until they bled, and he finally couldn't hold on any longer and said weakly.
"Who is Old Guaizi?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"I don't know his real identity. That's what people in the underworld call him. He approached me this time and asked me to get things done within three days. As long as Miss Liu's innocence is proven and the news spreads throughout the city, I can get 100,000 spirit stones!" Han Chao explained.
Lin Fan remained silent, letting Han Chao suffer for half an hour. Seeing that he was unable to speak and was so tormented that he felt he had no will to live, Lin Fan then stepped in to relieve his pain.
"So how did you contact him?"
Han Chao, panting heavily and still feeling numb, opened his eyes slightly and said, "It's always Old Guaizi who contacts me first; we can't find him."
“We will carve our names on a bamboo slip, which will be kept by the manager of a gambling den outside the city. Whenever Old Guaizi takes a liking to someone’s abilities, he will get that person’s bamboo slip and then find us!”
"Who owns the gambling den?" Lin Fan continued to ask.
"I don't know!" Han Chao saw that he didn't speak again, so he kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, "We really don't know whose property it is, but the person who can run such a big gambling den outside the city must have connections everywhere in Yundu."
"This is the antidote for three days. When the old kidnapper contacts you again, tell me the agreed location."
He tossed out a black pill, which Han Chao hurriedly picked up and swallowed.
"Don't even think about running away. If Old Man Guai doesn't show up in three days and the poison takes effect, death will be a luxury for you!" Lin Fan kicked him down and then threw out a jade slip.
"Just crush the jade slip when the time comes. Once you've dealt with the matter, I'll give you the final antidote."
After saying that, he pulled on the reins and slowly drove the Thundercloud Lion back.
Actually, he didn't need to investigate the old kidnapper. That guy's background was either the Wang family or the Liu family; no other family had that kind of ability.
If he were from one of the four great families, the Liu family would have found out long ago and eliminated him. Only by relying on the Liu family or Wang Qingxian's maternal family, the Wang family, could he survive.
The reason he let Han Chao go was simply to lower Wang Qingxian and the others' guard. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless.
Lin Fan secretly led Lei Yunshi back to the stable, then left Feng Xi and Liu Xiangxun there without disturbing them, and then sneaked back to his room.
He opened the door to find a person sitting by the window who looked exactly like him. He gently beckoned, and the person mechanically stood up and walked towards him. When the person was right in front of him, the person turned into a doll and lay quietly in his hand.
This thing is very useful; it can also be used to confuse opponents, making Wang Qingxian believe that she can control her every move.
Fengxi slowly woke up, then suddenly startled. She hurriedly got up, touched her clothes, and found them to be intact, and her body felt normal.
She glanced at Liu Xiangxun beside her and woke her up.
"Sister Mengli, I'm so sleepy, can I sleep a little longer?" Liu Xiangxun pouted, turned over and continued to sleep.
“A big pervert walked in!” Fengxi grabbed her ear and whispered.
Liu Xiangxun suddenly woke up with a start and called out, "Where?"
She looked at the scene inside the carriage, then at Fengxi, whose expression was strange, and asked curiously, "Sister Mengli, where's the big pervert?"
"If you don't wake up soon, that big pervert is coming," Fengxi said with a grin.
She looked at the scene inside the carriage; it was all too familiar. It must have been Lin Fan who made his move last night, otherwise they would have definitely been in trouble.
Opening the carriage curtain, they saw Lei Yunshi enjoying fine beast meat and spiritual spring water with a look of pure bliss on his face.
It's getting more and more used to being a mount, being fed and cared for well, but it's a pity it can no longer see the scenery on the mountaintop; those are times that can never be returned to.
"Good boy... good boy!" Fengxi affectionately stroked its face, then strolled back with small steps.
Liu Xiangxun looked around curiously, wondering how they had ended up back at the Liu family home and were still sleeping in Lei Yunshi's vehicle.
She clearly remembered meeting a lecherous man last night, and then losing consciousness for some unknown reason.
Thankfully, she wasn't taken advantage of by the lecherous man, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Lei Yunshi's fierce appearance, she timidly ran away.
She had heard that this Thundercloud Lion was extremely ferocious; if you angered it, it could devour a Nascent Soul stage expert from the Liu family.
"Sister Mengli, how did we get back home? I don't remember anything about it," she asked softly.
She's panicking right now. She didn't come home all night, and her parents must be angry. She might get a scolding.
“That scoundrel, I killed him with one palm. You’d better be careful when you go out in the future. If a stranger tries to talk to you, slash him twice first.” Fengxi said in a boastful and old-fashioned manner.
Liu Xiangxun nodded, finding it very reasonable. She looked at Fengxi with great admiration, thinking how fortunate she was to have Sister Mengli by her side, otherwise she wouldn't even know how that lecherous man had humiliated her.
I must learn from Sister Mengli, strive to become stronger, and then kill those scoundrels who dare to bully them.
"But if we don't come home all night, my parents will definitely punish me!" She hesitated, not daring to go back.
“What are you afraid of? Just say you slept with me last night and felt bad refusing my invitation. They’ll be even happier to hear that,” Fengxi said.
After comforting Liu Xiangxun and sending her back, she skipped along, humming a song, slowly making her way back to her residence.
Yu's wet nurse had a bathtub prepared so she could wash away the dust from her body, and then she rushed to Lin Fan's room without waiting.
"Is everything taken care of?" Lin Fan was writing and knew she had come in without turning around.
"As you predicted, her grandfather's goal is to find out your intentions!" Fengxi blinked, feeling that he was too amazing. He was able to plan ahead and anticipate the enemy's thoughts.
"Brother, what should we do next?" she asked curiously.
“No one can resist the allure of the Immortal Scripture. They will send people to Thousand Wind City to investigate the matter. Wang Qingxian will definitely get the news and send important people there as well. We can take this opportunity to eliminate her right-hand men and weaken her power,” Lin Fan said calmly.
