After saying that, Ling Shiyao looked into the other person's eyes with a forced smile.

He felt this was the best way to deal with the current situation.

Otherwise, Du Hao would definitely not be happy.

To everyone's surprise, Du Hao's eyes revealed a mocking look after hearing this.

"Oh? You think you can take it?"

Ling Shiyao's face immediately darkened.

"I forgot to mention, this person is a True Yuan Realm martial artist. So, do you want me to agree to what I said before and give you a week to bring him back?"

Du Hao asked.

"True, True Essence Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Shiyao's face broke into a smile that was even more unsightly than a grimace.

The boast went way too far.

He was only at the late stage of the Meridian Refinement realm, still a step away from the True Essence Realm.

However, many late-stage Qi Refining martial artists have been trapped by this one kick.

But then he hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Although I am not a True Yuan Realm martial artist, if this person offends you, sir, I will risk my life to make him pay the price!"

"hehe."

Du Hao chuckled dismissively, but secretly felt quite pleased with himself for being honest.

"Alright, this guy's strength isn't as simple as you think. If you run into him, you won't even have a chance to meet him; you'll just be going to your death."

"Is it...that amazing?"

Ling Shiyao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'll ask you one more time, you really have no recollection of this person?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shiyao looked at it carefully for a few more moments, then shook his head and said, "Sir, our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association, including the president, only has a few True Yuan Realm martial artists. Even if I haven't met them in person, I have seen their photos. This person is not among them. Moreover, this person is not among the True Yuan Realm martial artists in our Kowloon City either."

"nonsense."

Du Hao said irritably.

He knew all the True Essence Realm martial artists in the city, so how could he not know whether this person existed or not?

"Sir, could it be someone from another regional martial arts association, or someone working for another Awakened One?"

Ling Shiyao asked.

"Um."

Du Hao nodded and said, "That's very likely. Didn't you say before that you wanted to bring this person to me?"

Ling Shiyao turned pale with fright, his lips trembling as he stammered.

"Look at you. You don't need to bring him to me. Just find out who he is and where he is. I'll give you one day, by tomorrow night at the latest. Give me your answer."

"Ming, tomorrow night?"

Ling Shiyao was taken aback.

Isn't this too tight?

True Yuan Realm martial artists are few in number, but they are all very strong. It is not an easy task to investigate their information.

"Sir, could you please give us a little more time? Three days, no, even two days would be fine?"

He pleaded.

"What, you can't even do such a small thing?"

Du Hao sneered, his eyes like two knives falling on the other person.

"One day. I'm only giving you one day. If you can't find the answer after one day, you're fired! Understand? Then get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ling Shiyao didn't dare to say anything more and slunk away.

Halfway there, he remembered something, ran back, took a picture of the portrait with his phone, and then shrank back and left.

"What a piece of trash!"

Du Hao was furious.

After thinking about it, I felt it was unreliable to place all my hopes on this guy; I should find a few more people.

As for why it's a full day,

Because the day after tomorrow is the time when the Heavenly God Fruit will ripen.

Although the latter did not explicitly state the location of the Heavenly Tree, based on his description, it can be inferred that it is roughly located in the mountains behind Anshan City.

It won't go very deep.

After all, in even more distant places, let alone commander-level ferocious beasts, even beast king-level beasts might appear.

With their strength, they'd have a hard time even dealing with a single commander-level beast, so the distance can't be too far.

He will then be accompanied by two B-rank Awakened, and it won't take long for them to find the Celestial Tree.

The Heavenly Fruit, which can enhance mental strength, is a godsend for him right now.

Incidentally, let's also get rid of this arrogant True Essence Realm martial artist.

Thinking of this, Du Hao's lips curled up.

From this perspective, the deaths of Yan Ming and the others were actually a good thing.

He could take more than half of the dozen or so Celestial Fruits.

Even if the effects of this fruit become weaker with excessive consumption, it doesn't matter.

One fruit is worth tens of thousands of points!

……

In Chenjia Village, on the training ground, everyone was sweating profusely.

Although life in the village has improved considerably now, with no worries about food or drink, the outside world remains fraught with danger.

If we don't seize the time to improve our strength, danger may strike one day, and if we're not strong enough, we won't even be able to escape.

Meng Yu was one of the group.

After most of the day, she was completely exhausted.

But every time she wanted to give up, a voice inside her would remind her that her sister was still suffering terribly.

If she doesn't work hard, she might never have the chance to see her again in this lifetime.

So she kept gritting her teeth and persevering.

"Let's take a break."

A voice rang out, and Zhang Ren walked over.

His tone was serious, yet tinged with concern: "Martial arts training emphasizes gradual progress. Blindly pursuing speed can lead to negative results, and sometimes, ineffective efforts are simply a waste of time and energy."

Meng Yu blushed and stopped moving. She knew that Zhang Ren was subtly implying that her movements were out of character.

So the next moment, she asked softly, "Uncle Zhang, could you please correct my movements again?"

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "The longer you stand in the stance, the better. If you really want to learn something else, I'll teach you some basic boxing postures first."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

Meng Yu's eyes lit up, and she thanked him repeatedly.

Zhang Ren sighed inwardly.

He had seen Meng Yu's hard work these past few days; she was almost always among the first to arrive and the last to leave.

"Buzz, buzz."

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Meng Yu was taken aback.

This phone was given to her by Chen Fan, and it only contains Chen Fan's number.

In other words, at this time, no one but Chen Fan could have called her.

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You should rest for a while and come back to see me in an hour."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Meng Yu responded, then cautiously glanced around before running to a quieter spot to answer the phone.

"Chen Fan, I'm sorry, I just now..."

Just as she was about to explain, a very familiar voice rang out on the phone, instantly freezing her in place.

"Xiaoyu, it's me."

Meng Xue's voice rang out.

"elder sister!"

Meng Yu immediately realized what was happening. She covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, and said in disbelief, "Sister, is that you? You're talking to me? I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Silly child."

Meng Xue laughed and said, "What are you talking about in broad daylight? Come back quickly, I'm waiting for you in your room."

"In mine, in my house?"

Meng Yu was completely stunned.

What, what exactly is going on?

Isn't my sister being held captive by those people in Anshan City?

How did I end up in my own house?

No, that's not right.

This call was clearly from Chen Fan.

In other words, my sister is definitely with Chen Fan now.

So, she really is in her own room?

"Sister, wait for me, I'm coming, I'm coming right away! Please don't hang up..."

As Meng Yu spoke, she used all her strength to run towards her little house.

"What happened?"

Wang Ping and the others, who were not far away, were completely bewildered by what they saw.

"Mind your own business."

Zhang Ren appeared behind them like a ghost.

"Have you mastered your marksmanship? Have you even scratched the surface of your fist techniques? How's your footwork? You haven't mastered anything, yet you're still looking around distractedly."

The group of people were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.

These days, they have also gone out hunting with others and even killed ferocious beasts with their own hands.

With the house right in front of her, Meng Yu's heart was in her throat.

Sister, is she really in this room right in front of me?

She subconsciously slowed her pace, afraid that when she reached the door and looked inside, there would be no one there, and her hopes would be dashed.

But the next moment, a white-haired figure appeared at the door and waved to her.

"elder sister!"

Meng Yu burst into tears, like a fledgling bird running into her parents' arms.

"Sister, is it really you? Is it really you? I'm not dreaming? I'm not dreaming, right?"

She hugged him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Silly child, of course you're not dreaming."

Meng Xue's tears could no longer be held back and flowed down her cheeks.

She gently stroked Meng Yu's hair, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Because she doesn't have much time left to live; she'll die in a month at most.

They were finally reunited, but soon it was time for the younger sister to live alone again.

She's really not a good older sister.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
