"Who are you people? How did you end up here?"
Xu Xiangdong suddenly spoke after expressing gratitude.
Although his tone was pleasant, the choice of words seed to reveal a certain wariness toward Chen Yang and Lisa.
"Uncle, we were having a late-night snack nearby, and happened to see those people just now. It seed like they were up to no good, so we followed to take a look, not expecting to actually stumble upon such an incident,"
Lisa hastily explained the situation upon hearing his inquiry.
"I see, thank you very much." Xu Xiangdong replied, expressing gratitude, yet it was evident that he remained cautious of Chen Yang and Lisa.
Chen Yang noticed that Xu Xiangdong had an untold story.
However, he wasn’t interested in the details; he intervened just to fight injustice.
Now that the issue was resolved, he had no intention to linger.
"You must be a cultivator too," Chen Yang looked at Xu Xiangdong and stated.
"I..." Xu Xiangdong was montarily stunned by Chen Yang’s words, just about to defend himself when Chen Yang interrupted.
"You can pretend with others, but you can’t fool . Your internal ridians are different from ordinary people, resembling those of a cultivator, which speaks volus,"
"Also, although you lack the aura of a cultivator within, that’s because you’ve suffered severe injuries, leading to the loss of your cultivation. Am I right?"
In a few simple sentences, Chen Yang cut off all paths of explanation.
Xu Xiangdong found himself without words, choosing silence instead.
Chen Yang continued, "You don’t need to be tense. Although I know this, I’m not interested in you nor curious about any secrets you might have. I’m telling you these just to remind you, those people certainly won’t let you off easily. If you want to escape, you should leave early, or they will co for you."
After speaking, Chen Yang turned to Lisa, "Lisa, we should go."
"Alright."
Lisa shared the sa thoughts as Chen Yang, helping out only to fight injustice without any other intentions.
Seeing the matter resolved and everything fine, she left with Chen Yang.
Sitting amidst the ss in the room, Xu Xiangdong watched Chen Yang and Lisa’s retreating figures, a peculiar emotion flickering in his eyes.
"Not here for the secret of the Red Cloud Cave Mansion?"
He pondered for a mont, involuntarily uttering a question.
Yet quickly he realized the necessity of leaving this place.
Regardless of the situation, people from the Blood Wolf Sect were certainly targeting him. To evade capture, now was the best ti to relocate.
...
"Han Tianming, Red Cloud Cave Mansion... feels so familiar."
Having left the old house, walked through the alley paved with bluestone slabs, and arrived at the dimly lit street, Lisa was still pondering the events that had occurred.
Inside, everything happened suddenly, leaving no ti to reflect.
Now that it was all over, walking along the road provided her with the opportunity to revisit the events and so of their conversations.
"Why, have you heard of it sowhere?"
Chen Yang turned his face to look at her.
"Yes." Lisa nodded, "I rember once when I went to find Director Ma, I overheard him ntion these words, but I don’t know the specifics. I’m considering whether to call and ask Director Ma."
Chen Yang didn’t imdiately respond, contemplating briefly before speaking, "I think you should call and ask. If Han Tianming is a friend of Director Ma, it could be serious, even if it’s not, it wouldn’t hurt to inquire."
Chen Yang’s words dispelled all of Lisa’s hesitations.
"You’re right, no matter what, it’s better to ask. If it really benefits Director Ma, it would be troubleso."
Understanding this, Lisa wasted no ti, and quickly returned to the car with Chen Yang to call Director Ma.
"Hello, what’s the matter, Lisa?"
The call quickly connected, with Director Ma’s cheerful voice coming through.
Lisa didn’t waste much ti, jumping straight to the point.
"Director Ma, do you know Han Tianming and Xu Xiangdong?"
"Han Tianming? Where did you hear that na?"
On hearing Lisa’s words, Director Ma on the other end of the line beca noticeably more excited.
Lisa picked up the unease and without further ado, shared everything that had happened with Director Ma.
"Blood Wolf Sect! Didn’t think they’d act this fast! We haven’t even found Han Tianming yet!" Director Ma’s excitent increased upon listening to Lisa.
"Director Ma, is there sothing special about Han Tianming? In their conversation, I heard ntion of a place called the Red Cloud Cave Mansion. What is it?" Lisa started to question.
In the alley, there wasn’t much ti to think, but out here, the curiosity grew stronger, and sothing felt off.
The sa went for Chen Yang, a nagging feeling of intrigue!
"That’s a long story! Anyway, just know that Han Tianming is extrely important to our institution! We’ve been trying to locate him."
"And the person you encountered earlier might very well be Han Tianming!"
Director Ma explained briefly, then spoke with heightened urgency, "Are you with Chen Yang now? Please return quickly and ensure Han Tianming’s safety, and I’ll also head over imdiately. I’ll explain more upon arrival."
Director Ma was in a rush, with the sound of hurried dressing audible through the phone.
Given the severity of the situation, Lisa dared not question further and promptly agreed.
"Chen Yang, let’s go back quickly. It seems that uncle is very important."
After hanging up the call, Lisa swiftly conveyed the ssage to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, having overheard the entire conversation, was aware of Director Ma’s urgency.
"Alright, let’s move."
He agreed imdiately, and both he and Lisa left the car, rushing back to the scene of the incident.
Upon arriving, they were t with chaos, debris everywhere, along with traces left from the skirmish.
As for the man claiming to be Xu Xiangdong, he had long vanished without a trace.
"Oh no, he must have left fearing the blood wolf sect’s return."
Lisa spoke, looking at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang pondered briefly, saying, "He’s lost his cultivation, rely a regular person in a wheelchair, he can’t have gone far; let’s search nearby, maybe we’ll find him."
"Alright, let’s go."
Lisa quickly gathered herself and resolutely partnered with Chen Yang to begin searching nearby.
Given his importance, neither Chen Yang nor Lisa took regular paths and instead, used their skills to move swiftly through the night.
They split up, Chen Yang heading east, while Lisa went west...
