26: Xiao Yue sent people to investigate Liu Ling'er's whereabouts, regardless of life or death.

While the two of them were cultivating, Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo also got into the car.

"What a coincidence, you two are here too." Zhuang Sanming greeted them with a smile and paid for their tickets.

Chu Feiyue replied, "You guys are here too, quickly sit down and cultivate."

"Okay."

Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo were also regular customers of Lin Feng, almost coming to sit every day. After they arrived, the four seats were perfectly filled.

Before Lin Feng could even promote, Su Duo asked, "Do you still have those pills?"

Lin Feng heard that a sale was coming, so he quickly displayed a message:

"Yes, do you need an Martial Enhancement Pill, an Advancement Pill, or a Healing Pill?"

To be honest, his stock was running low. Each pill sold meant one less, first come, first served.

Zhuang Sanming seemed surprised that Su Duo would suddenly ask this: "Have you saved enough spirit stones to buy pills?"

Su Duo spread her hands and said, "Cousin, you know how much money I have, don't you? I just wanted to see if I could bargain the price down."

Lin Feng: ???

"Small business, no bargaining!"

Su Duo spread her hands: "Alright then."

Then she quietly mumbled, "So stingy."

Lin Feng: "..."

System, is there a function to blacklist passengers?

No?

How could there be none?

This is truly infuriating!

Su Duo sat down, looking at the number on her ticket, and said, "I thought this car only had the four of us, but the number on it is already 042, so there must be other people riding it, right?"

Zhuang Sanming nodded: "Perhaps at other times, people also ride the car."

It's just that he didn't know how many people were aware of this car's existence.

"How about we don't come in the afternoon tomorrow? We'll come at night and see if we can run into other people, what do you think?" Zhuang Sanming thought for a moment and said.

"Great, great!" Su Duo was a person who liked excitement, so she was naturally willing. "Then we'll have to sneak out when my mother isn't paying attention, otherwise, she definitely won't let me go out at night."

"If that doesn't work, we can wait until the morning after tomorrow," Zhuang Sanming said.

"No, no, that would mean one less day of riding the car, delaying cultivation," Su Duo said righteously.

Zhuang Sanming couldn't help but laugh: "Why didn't I see you cultivate so diligently before?"

Su Duo stuck out her tongue: "How can that be the same?"

After discussing this, the two decided to come and ride the car tomorrow night.

Lin Feng actually couldn't quite understand the girl Su Duo's thought process. His car only had four seats, and each person who sat down meant one less. If too many people came, they might not even get a seat, and sitting on the ground would look so bad.

Moreover, what if they encountered a fierce-looking passenger... Anyway, if it were Lin Feng, he would choose to ride the car alone.

How nice it is to be alone, how peaceful.

Unfortunately, he was the car now... 155 Fortress, Xiao Family.

"Father, I am unwilling to let the Liu Family off just like this."

Xiao Yue never concealed his true thoughts in front of Xiao Zhenxuan. When they, father and son, plotted for Xiao Shen's Jade Dragon Acupoint before, they discussed matters in this way.

Xiao Zhenxuan comforted him: "Yue'er, I know how you feel, but now Liu Ling'er has been missing for several days, her life or death unknown. As a man of our Xiao Family, there's no need for you to be stuck in place for a woman."

"But... Liu Ling'er, she..."

Xiao Yue hesitated to speak.

In truth, he had no affection for Liu Ling'er at all. He merely wanted to use her to prove that he was no worse than Xiao Shen.

Didn't Liu Ling'er like Xiao Shen and want to marry him?

He would precisely not let her have her wish!

From a young age, he had lived in Xiao Shen's shadow. Why should he?

He was the true son of the Xiao Family!

Xiao Shen's Jade Dragon Acupoint, he wanted it, and Xiao Shen's fiancée, he also wanted her!

Xiao Zhenxuan raised his hand and patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, saying earnestly: "Yue'er, you are to lead our Xiao Family to further heights in the future. How can you be entangled in romantic affairs? You now possess the Jade Dragon Acupoint, cultivating faster than others, and you are a Seventh-level Martial Artist. Who outside doesn't speak well of you?"

"Look at our Xiao Family. Ever since you became a Seventh-level Martial Artist, the Wang Family, Hua Family, and Liu Family, which of them isn't eager to curry favor?"

"What is one woman worth? As long as you, Xiao Yue, desire it, the daughters of the Wang Family, Hua Family, and other daughters of the Liu Family, they can line up to throw themselves at you!"

"Yue'er, do you understand?"

Xiao Yue cupped his hands and said: "Father, your son understands."

"Good, go back. Tomorrow you still need to enter the Spirit Gathering Tower. Your father hopes you can break through soon and reach the third floor," Xiao Zhenxuan said with satisfaction.

The Xiao Family's Spirit Gathering Tower also had layers, a total of seven. The higher one went, the denser the spiritual energy.

Although Xiao Yue had obtained the Jade Dragon Acupoint, he was still relatively unaccustomed to absorbing spiritual energy. This led to him having entered the Spirit Gathering Tower twice already, yet he couldn't ascend to the third floor, only able to cultivate on the second floor.

This made him very frustrated, but he still had confidence in himself. It was just that he might have fallen behind too much in previous years. With the talent of the Jade Dragon Acupoint, catching up to others was only a matter of time.

"Yes, Father, I will definitely enter the third floor."

Xiao Yue clenched his fists, making up his mind.

After Xiao Yue left, Xiao Zhenxuan turned around, looked at the moon in the sky, and whispered: "Yue'er's talent is indeed a bit lacking. You know, back then, Xiao Shen almost made it to the fourth floor..."

That night.

Xiao Zhenxuan thought Xiao Yue had listened to his words, but he hadn't.

"This is a photo of Liu Ling'er. Within seven days, I want to know her whereabouts. Whether you tie her up or kill her, I want to see her alive or her corpse if she's dead. Otherwise, don't even think about the final payment."

Xiao Yue looked at them coldly. He was determined to find Liu Ling'er, but he couldn't let Xiao Zhenxuan know that he was still investigating this matter. So, he didn't use the Xiao Family's people, but instead found a group of mercenaries from the Wall's external organizations, paid a deposit, and promised them a high final payment, sending them to the Ferocious Beast Forest to investigate Liu Ling'er's whereabouts.

"Yes!"

The price Xiao Yue offered was very high, and he didn't demand that she be captured alive, so they had no reason to refuse.

The group turned around in unison and quickly disappeared into the night.

Xiao Yue also turned his head and headed towards the Xiao Family.

Liu Ling'er was destined to be his. What was Xiao Shen? He was merely the Xiao Family's fake young master for over a decade, and he really thought of himself as the true young master?

He was clearly the one who had first taken a liking to Liu Ling'er, but Father... In short, if it weren't for enduring humiliation, the one who would have been engaged to Liu Ling'er a few years ago wouldn't have been Xiao Shen, but him, Xiao Yue!

Now that the Jade Dragon Acupoint was finally his, then everything else, naturally, should also be his, including Liu Ling'er.

As for whether Liu Ling'er was alive or dead, he didn't care.

If she lived, she had to marry him; if she died, she also had to marry him.

Whatever he wanted, no matter what it was, he would snatch it.

He would snatch it.
