Chapter 1086: Chapter 1058: Rural Tricks Are Many, The Village Chief Says No

Cultivation is often the best tool to pass the ti.

With Li Chen’s night of cultivation, the sky quickly turned a pale white.

Awakened from cultivation, Li Chen slowly raised his head, gazing at the gentle sunlight partially obscured by the tree shade, and exhaled a deep breath.

At this mont, Li Chen heard a commotion outside, sounding sowhat noisy.

The ancestor’s shrine was originally a special place, so even people from the village weren’t allowed to enter freely, ensuring quiet all around.

But Li Chen was an exception; perhaps he was currently the only outsider permitted to enter the ancestor’s shrine.

Even inside the shrine, Li Chen heard the sounds from outside, indicating sothing was indeed happening out there.

Stepping out from the shrine, Li Chen grabbed a young man rushing past and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Ah… It’s Li Chen.” Suddenly stopped, the initially tense young man turned around, “Indeed, sothing happened…”

“Hmm?” Li Chen raised his eyebrows.

“Yesterday, An Xiu for so unknown reason left the village alone, but after a whole night, she’s still not back!” The young man said anxiously, “Spending the night outside is really dangerous!”

Hearing the young man’s words, Li Chen released his grip, but his expression turned extrely grim.

Perhaps others didn’t know the reason, but how could he not know?

The forest at night is indeed quite dangerous, even during the day, places almost identical to the Primitive Forest aren’t particularly safe.

Li Chen rembered when he first ca to the village, An Xiu was being chased by a Tiger.

In such a place, An Xiu spent the night outside alone?

Even Li Chen couldn’t help but start to worry.

Finding An Cheng, Li Chen saw that An Cheng’s expression was indeed very grim as expected.

“Though we do sotis spend the night outside when hunting or leaving the forest for trading, it’s usually as a group. An Xiu alone…” An Cheng trailed off.

Though he’s the village chief, he’s also a father, and what father wouldn’t care about his child?

“I will help in the search.” Li Chen suddenly said.

“You…” An Cheng initially didn’t want to trouble Li Chen, but when thinking of Li Chen, his words paused.

Only with a strong person like Li Chen can they find An Xiu more quickly, right?

“I’ll trouble you to look after Zhang Jing for first.” Li Chen spoke, “As soon as I find An Xiu, I’ll rush back imdiately. Afterward, going to another village will also rely on you.”

“It’s okay…” An Cheng knew, Li Chen just didn’t want to make him feel indebted, but as a village chief and an elder, he felt sowhat amused at being treated so cautiously.

“Then, I’ll trouble you.” An Cheng patted Li Chen’s shoulder, “You must find Xiuxiu.”

“I will.”

Li Chen nodded, then turned and left An Cheng’s room.

Before leaving the village, Li Chen found soone.

Fan Bayin!

“You’re leaving here?” Fan Bayin was sowhat surprised upon hearing Li Chen’s words.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away? You should know, although my cultivation is sealed, given my strength among this bunch of weaklings, escaping shouldn’t be too hard, right?” Fan Bayin said.

“I know, of course.” Li Chen nodded, “But didn’t you say you’re considering joining my camp?”

“I’m indeed considering… But… That’s just considering, I haven’t agreed to join you!” Fan Bayin replied.

“Hmm.” Li Chen nodded, “Since you say so, then I’ll answer like this; I trust you!”

“Trust… ?” Fan Bayin was equally stunned. From the beginning, they were enemies, and knowing each other for less than two days, he actually said this was based on trust?

Suddenly, Fan Bayin felt a bit moved.

When did I beco so charming?

Seeing Fan Bayin’s sowhat emotional gaze, Li Chen reached out to pat the shoulder of this frail shut-in, “Your strength is actually strong. And, since you treat your own pet Ghost well, surely you’ll treat those around you better, right? So, I trust you.”

Fan Bayin suddenly felt speechless.

“When we fought before, you should’ve gotten so injuries too, right? The Herbs I dug yesterday were ant for Alchemy.”

As Li Chen spoke, he suddenly pulled out a bottle from his pocket, pouring out a round object from it.

It was… a Pill!

“Heal well, and while I’m gone, I hope you’ll protect them for .” Li Chen said.

A touch of gratitude appeared on Fan Bayin’s face; unexpectedly, after so many years in the organization, no one had said they trusted him. But knowing this man for less than two days, he actually dared to trust him so openly…

Swallowing the Pill whole, Fan Bayin looked at Li Chen, confidently pounding his chest and promised, “Rest assured! I’ll do it!”

“Good!” Li Chen smiled and nodded, “Then I’ll rely on you.”

Turning his head, after a few steps, Li Chen turned back, “Also, don’t even think about running. Because I poisoned that Pill just now, if I find sothing wrong upon my return, I can guarantee you won’t live past the next day.”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Fan Bayin’s newly ford smile suddenly froze.

He was indeed a shut-in, but no fool, and when Li Chen ntioned leaving, he did consider escaping.

Even just now, he was truly struggling with whether he should just run away.

But evidently, Li Chen’s words dashed his hopes.

Watching Li Chen leave, Fan Bayin could feel that as the Pill’s power gradually spread within his body, his True Qi indeed recovered. Even his injuries healed considerably, but now he genuinely couldn’t smile.

Looking within his body, he couldn’t find where the poison was hidden, making Fan Bayin sigh and give up.

Gazing in the direction of Li Chen’s departure, Fan Bayin’s eyes showed a complex expression.

“All tricks! Damn it, they’re all tricks!”
