22: Liu Yancheng dared not cause trouble, Xiao Shen found Liu Ling'er's whereabouts

“Pfft...”

Liu XinFan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The gap of three levels was not something morale alone could bridge.

If Xiao Yue had put in a little more strength, he might have died on the spot.

But if Xiao Yue thought he could break his fighting spirit like this, he was greatly mistaken!

Not every member of their Liu Family was like the clan leader, afraid of causing trouble!

“Brother Fan, how are you?” Liu Ming was almost in tears.

He never imagined that simply wanting to buy some things would lead to him running into Xiao Yue and ending up in this situation, even implicating Liu XinFan.

“I... I’m fine.

You, don’t be afraid.

Our Liu Family isn’t without people!”

Although Liu XinFan had taken a hit, he did not lower his head.

Liu Ming choked up.

Liu XinFan was one of the most outstanding juniors in the Liu Family now, and usually held considerable prestige among them.

It was nothing for Liu Ming himself to be insulted by Xiao Yue, but seeing Liu XinFan like this, he felt truly pained.

“Brother Fan, why don’t we go find the clan leader and ask him to uphold justice for us,” Liu Ming said.

“The clan leader?”

Liu XinFan sneered, “It would be good enough if he didn’t kill us both to amuse Xiao Yue.”

“Ah?” Liu Ming’s eyes widened.

In his heart, the clan leader was the highest existence in the Liu Family, representing its dignity.

“Xiao Shen? Haha...”

Xiao Yue seemed to have come to his senses at this moment.

He looked coldly at Liu XinFan and Liu Ming, then dropped this line: “One day, I will prove to everyone that Xiao Shen is nothing at all.

I, Xiao Yue, am the king of the younger generation in the entire Wall!!”

After saying that, he didn't spare them another glance and strode away.

Liu XinFan clutched his chest: “Dream on!

Xiao Shen’s strength is not only greater than his, but his character is a hundred times better.

Sister Ling’er, you didn’t choose the wrong person.”

“Brother Fan, please don’t talk anymore.

I’ll take you to get your injuries treated.” Liu Ming carried Liu XinFan on his back, talking as he walked...

At this time, Liu Ling’er was still recovering from her injuries at Chu Feiyue’s house.

After a day, she had already become familiar with Zheng Jinfeng.

Zheng Jinfeng was an enthusiastic older sister, and very strong-willed, which suited Liu Ling’er’s temperament perfectly.

“Why are you down again?

Didn’t I tell you to lie down and not move?”

Seeing Liu Ling’er get out of bed to sweep the floor, Zheng Jinfeng quickly stopped her.

Liu Ling’er shook her head and said, “I’m fine, my injury has healed.

I’m just a bit weak, that’s all.

I can’t always just eat your food for free.

Doing some work can also exercise my body.”

Zheng Jinfeng put her hands on her hips and said, “What do you mean, eating my food for free?

My husband wanders around all day, only knows how to spend money and I never see him earn any, and he’s never home all day and night.

I’m alone and have no one to accompany me, and I’m feeling vexed.

It’s good that you’re here, we can look out for each other.

Isn’t it normal for me to feed you?”

Liu Ling’er was amused by her: “Thank you, Sister Zheng.”

“What are you thanking me for,” Zheng Jinfeng said.

“Oh, right, where are you from, and how did you end up in the forest alone?”

At this point, the smile on Liu Ling’er’s face faded.

Seeing this, Zheng Jinfeng quickly said, “Look at me, I said the wrong thing.

I’ll go get you some hot water.”

As soon as Zheng Jinfeng left, Liu Ling’er couldn’t help but sigh.

Xiao Shen, oh Xiao Shen, where are you?

Do you know that ever since you disappeared, the direction of the Four Great Families has changed.

The clan leader forced me to marry Xiao Yue, but I refused, so I ran away, and nearly died here.

Xiao Shen, will I ever see you again?

...[Destination reached, passengers please disembark.]

Xiao Shen opened his eyes.

Little Ice Fox had already left, and now he was the only one in the car.

This sentence meant his time was up, and it was time to get off.

This time, he didn't wait for Lin Feng to make a sales pitch, but proactively asked, “I want to buy an Martial Enhancement Pill.

Do you still have any in stock?”

Lin Feng’s ears perked up at that, that’s great!

He had stock!

He really didn’t expect Xiao Shen to gather enough money to buy an Martial Enhancement Pill so quickly.

He truly was someone with full protagonist buffs, and indeed his first passenger.

[Yes, the price is one thousand low-grade spirit stones.]

“Good.”

Without a word, Xiao Shen directly poured out a thousand low-grade spirit stones and got his long-desired Martial Enhancement Pill.

[Thank you for your patronage, please come again soon!]

Having sold another Martial Enhancement Pill, Lin Feng felt like humming a tune.

Xiao Shen carefully placed the Martial Enhancement Pill into his storage bag, planning to find a safe place to upgrade later.

Although he was happy to get the Martial Enhancement Pill, spending so many spirit stones at once left him broke again.

With less than five hundred spirit stones remaining, he needed to find a way to earn more quickly.

Once he consumed this Martial Enhancement Pill, he would be able to advance to Level Three, truly capable of taking on missions of Level Three and above.

Xiao Shen walked step by step towards the safe zone, thinking as he went.

It wasn’t a long-term solution to keep living in the Ferocious Beast Forest.

Should he rent a house near the guild?

What he lacked most right now were spirit stones.

Once he had spirit stones, everything else would be easy.

“Huh, what’s that?”

As Xiao Shen walked, he suddenly saw a piece of red cloth strip on the bushes ahead, very conspicuous.

He walked over, picked it up, and saw a “Liu” character embroidered on the red cloth strip with silk thread.

Instantly, a familiar feeling swept through every nerve of Xiao Shen!

This was Ling’er’s sleeve, it must be her!

Only she could embroider such a script, which he had seen countless times over the years.

Xiao Shen turned back the sleeve on his left wrist, where a “Xiao” character was embroidered, precisely the handiwork of Liu Ling’er from before.

After the initial shock, Xiao Shen’s heart pounded.

It was Ling’er, it must be Ling’er, she had come to the Ferocious Beast Forest!!

But where was she now?

How did her sleeve get torn off and hung in the bushes?

Countless possibilities flashed through Xiao Shen’s mind.

Although Liu Ling’er was a Level Four martial artist, her Qi Cavity was only a low-grade Qi Cavity, slightly better than ordinary ones, and her foundation was not that deep.

Even in the outer perimeter, encountering a slightly stronger Level Four ferocious beast, she might not be able to escape.

That is to say, she might be in danger now!

“Ling’er, where are you?”

Xiao Shen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He thought his departure wouldn’t affect anyone in the Wall, but he didn’t expect Liu Ling’er to actually run to the Ferocious Beast Forest.

If anything happened to her, he would truly hate himself!

Xiao Shen searched for Liu Ling’er’s traces along the way, but besides the red cloth, Liu Ling’er left no other clues.

The footprints on the ground were messy, trampled by ferocious beasts every day, and any useful ones were long gone.

Eventually, Xiao Shen even began to doubt whether Liu Ling’er had ever been to the forest.

But looking at the red cloth in his hand, his confidence firmed again; he had to find Liu Ling’er.
