The next day.
Ling Chen woke up from the bed, and not long after having breakfast, he received a call from Hu Fei, Lin Jiawei had been released.
Ling Chen had already made his decision last night, so he was not surprised. Although Hu Fei said that soone had been secretly sent to follow him, Ling Chen did not hold much hope.
"Right! Ling Chen, when Lin Jiawei left, he left a phone number, he asked to pass it on to you. Rember to contact him using that number after you get the Nine Elents Pill."
"Got it." Saying this, Ling Chen changed the topic, instructing, "Help tell my big brother to go to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion first, I will make haste to et up with them."
"You are not going with them?"
"No, I still have an important matter to handle, I’ll head there afterward."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen and Zhong Wei escorted Nanrong Wanqing to the Hongyu Group headquarters. After saying goodbye to Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen drove to the airport alone. By then, Hongyu Group’s private jet was already arranged and waiting for Ling Chen to board.
After an hour-long flight, the plane safely landed at Jinhai City Airport.
Leaving the airport, Ling Chen rented a car nearby and spent approximately two hours on the road before finally arriving at Su He’s secluded residence.
Looking at the dilapidated wooden cabin, Ling Chen quickly walked to the door, knocked, but no one responded inside.
Pushing open the door, unsurprisingly, the cabin was empty. At this ti, Su He probably went out to sea fishing.
Living here, with wilderness all around and not even a power line, let alone electronics and mobile phones, Ling Chen had no way to contact anyone else. No other choice, Ling Chen sat outside the house, gazing at the rolling waves, patiently waiting for Su He’s return.
By dusk, after waiting for several hours, Ling Chen finally saw a fishing boat approaching from the sea.
When Su He’s gaunt face ca into view, Ling Chen quickly stood up and waved to him.
"Elder Su."
As the fishing boat reached the shore, Ling Chen smiled and went up to help Su He with his fish basket and fishing net, and also helped drag the boat ashore.
Su He, unceremoniously, drank water and sat aside to rest.
Only after Ling Chen finished the chores did Su He speak, "What brings you here this ti? I rember I made it very clear last ti that I would not leave my seclusion unless it’s sothing special. If you want to help you, I advise you to dismiss that thought."
Ling Chen hurriedly replied, "Elder Su, you misunderstand, I indeed ca to ask for your help, but I’m not asking you to co out of retirent."
Hearing this, Su He’s expression slightly softened, "If that’s the case, I might consider it. Tell , what do you need help with?"
"It’s like this." Ling Chen cleared his throat and seriously said, "Elder Su, you must be aware of the Nine Elents Pill."
At the ntion of the Nine Elents Pill, a hint of surprise flashed across Su He’s calm face. He put down the water bottle, looked up at Ling Chen, and asked neutrally, "How do you know about the Nine Elents Pill?"
"It was ntioned by a friend of mine. Elder Su, although you don’t want to talk about your past, I understand that there must be a history between you and the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Hence, I hope you can help see if there’s a way to obtain the Nine Elents Pill."
"You want the Nine Elents Pill?" Su He shook his head and said, "I advise you to let go of that thought, it’s impossible. Not just any outsider, even the key mbers within the Heavenly chanism Pavilion can’t easily obtain the Nine Elents Pill. Kid, regardless of how you learned about the Nine Elents Pill, you should give up early on."
Seeing Su He present a stance that leaves no room for negotiation, Ling Chen was forced to speak the truth.
"Save your father?"
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Elder Su, not to hide it from you, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion is also my friend, I wouldn’t have asked this if it wasn’t for sothing extrely important. There’s no other way this ti, my father has fallen into Ji Gang’s hands, other than the Nine Elents Pill, there’s nothing else that can exchange for my father’s release. Elder Su, he’s my father, I can’t just watch him die, no matter the cost, I must ensure his safety."
"This..." Su He pondered for a mont and said, "Since you know that only a Heavenly List expert can consu the Nine Elents Pill, then you should be even more aware that once you give the Nine Elents Pill to Ji Gang, it will greatly enhance his strength. At that ti, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion will certainly face threats from Ji Gang. You’re only thinking about your father, have you considered the consequences?"
"As for the consequences, those are matters for later, I can’t even save my father now, how can I think about other things." Saying this, Ling Chen suddenly knelt to the ground, kowtowed to Su He, and earnestly said, "Elder Su, I’ve never asked anything from you, I hope you can help this ti. If there’s ever a day you need , whether through hell or high water, I will not refuse."
Looking at Ling Chen’s hopeful face, Su He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, since you put it that way, I’ll help you this ti. However, I must clarify, even though I’ll help you, whether you can achieve it still depends on your own ability."
Ling Chen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Elder Su!"
"Don’t thank just yet, wait until you successfully obtain the Nine Elents Pill." Saying this, Su He stood up and walked into the house. After a while, Su He returned, approached Ling Chen, and handed over a finely crafted dagger engraved with the character ’He,’ saying, "Take this dagger to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, if I rember correctly, soon there will be a grand event at the Yangxin Pavilion, that will be your only chance to obtain the Nine Elents Pill. With this dagger, they won’t stop you from attending."
Ling Chen held the dagger with both hands and gratefully said, "Thank you, Elder Su."
"Rember! Don’t reveal any information about to anyone asking, including my current whereabouts. If you dare say an extra word, don’t bla for turning my back on past kindness," Su He instructed.
"Yes, Elder Su, rest assured, I won’t say a word."
"Good, it’s getting late, you can make do for the night here, and head to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion tomorrow. Before you go, I still have so things to explain to you."
As night fell!
The darkness engulfed the sea, with only the rumbling sound of the waves, surging powerfully, ceaselessly beating against the shore.
Outside the cabin, Ling Chen and Su He sat in front of the bonfire, under the light of the flas, enjoying the freshly roasted sea fish.
Ling Chen took a bite of the crispy on the outside, tender on the inside sea fish and asked, "Elder Su, what else do you need to explain?"
"The grand event at Yangxin Pavilion... I won’t elaborate on that, you’ll naturally understand when you get there. What I need to tell you is, everyone participating in that event is from Yangxin Pavilion, and everyone will stop at nothing to defeat their opponents and win the final victory, so you must be careful."
