Xu Wendong said, "Nowadays, transportation is so convenient, and I’ve heard Lianyun is building an airport. If I have ti, I can co visit you, and you can co find too!"
Bai Lu, despite her reluctance,
knew that Xu Wendong would definitely leave.
She just hadn’t expected the day to co so soon.
"You go ahead and do your work. Co ho tonight for a al, just to see you off!" Bai Lu forced a smile.
"Alright."
Xu Wendong agreed and exited Bai Lu’s office.
Afterwards, he returned the car keys to Bai Lu’s vehicle, looked back at the county governnt compound, and glanced at the window of Bai Lu’s office.
Resolutely, he turned and left. After packing his things from where he was staying, he called Qian Duoduo.
Before long,
Young Master Qian arrived in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"So, are you planning to personally send back to Lianyun County?"
He had intended to have Qian Duoduo arrange a car for him to return to Qingyuan County but hadn’t expected Young Master Qian to co personally.
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Yeah, it’s too dull here. I plan to go with you to Qingyuan County."
"Then let’s go!" Xu Wendong got into the car.
Although he had promised Bai Lu to have a al at the Bai Family Ho before leaving, he disliked farewell scenes, so he left quietly.
However,
Before leaving, he sent ssages to Bai Lu, Bai Yu, Zhang Manni, and Wang Luyao, informing them that he was going to work out of town.
Zhang Manni and Wang Luyao sent him ssages to take care and visit when he had ti.
But Bai Yu called, angrily cursing him for being a bastard, for leaving without saying goodbye.
She cried while cursing, making Xu Wendong feel sowhat uncomfortable.
------
After being scolded for more than ten minutes, Bai Yu finally hung up. Xu Wendong looked at the driver and said, "Let’s head to Su City first, then return to Qingyuan County tomorrow!"
He was thinking of visiting Xu Fan first.
After all, they hadn’t reunited since the last parting in Su Province.
In addition,
During this ti, Xu Fan hadn’t contacted him, which made Xu Wendong quite unhappy, secretly thinking he would give her a piece of his mind once they t.
"Okay." The driver agreed respectfully.
Xu Wendong looked at Qian Duoduo, "How’s your dad?"
Previously, he had refined an elixir for Qian Duoduo’s father, one of which was given to Ye Qingxin, who did not disappoint Xu Wendong, breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm directly.
Qian Duoduo said, "My dad is still in seclusion."
At three in the afternoon,
the Rolls-Royce entered Su City.
Xu Wendong took out his phone and called Xu Fan. It rang for a long ti before it was answered, but unexpectedly, a robust voice ca through: "This is Hou Guodong!"
Xu Wendong was stunned for a mont, not expecting Xu Fan’s adoptive father to answer the call, and said, "Hello, Uncle Hou, I’m Xu Fan’s friend, my na is Xu Wendong."
"I know who you are." Hou Guodong’s voice held a trace of helplessness: "Fanfan has been taken by her biological parents."
Xu Wendong’s expression changed, quickly asking, "Do you know where she went?"
Hou Guodong said, "I don’t know."
After a pause, he added, "Where are you now? Is it convenient to et and talk?"
"Please send your location, I’ll co to you." Xu Wendong was eager to know Xu Fan’s whereabouts, because this woman had quietly left his life twice already.
He was truly displeased.
After receiving Hou Guodong’s location, Xu Wendong directed the driver to go there.
An hour later,
he t Hou Guodong in a teahouse.
He appeared to be nearly sixty, dressed in a black suit, wearing black-frad glasses, exuding an air of elegance.
Apart from that, Xu Wendong also sensed a unique aura of authority from him.
After Xu Wendong introduced himself and sat opposite Hou Guodong, Hou Guodong adjusted his glasses and asked, "Do you think I’m a man who stops at nothing to achieve his goals?"
Xu Wendong remained silent.
Simply because when Hou Guodong had betrothed Xu Fan to the foolish Qin Hao, he had felt a sense of disgust towards this man.
Hou Guodong forced a smile, not bothering to explain further, and said, "When I found Fanfan, she was just a month old, on a freezing snowy night."
"In the swaddling clothes, besides a crying infant, there was a jade pendant and a talisman." As he spoke, he opened his phone gallery, revealing a talisman of the Taoist Sect.
Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, recognizing that this talisman was not ordinary but a Fla Talisman, an aggressive type of talisman.
But,
why was there such a mysterious talisman in Xu Fan’s swaddling clothes?
Xu Wendong’s heart couldn’t be calm.
He had thought he was the only cultivator in this world, but now it seed things were not as he imagined.
Surely, there were other cultivators living in this world.
But living in places unseen by people.
"Fanfan was nad Xu Fan in hopes that she could live her life healthily like an ordinary person." Hou Guodong said, "But the thing I was most worried about happened. Her biological parents found her and insisted on taking her away."
"They wore ancient costus, and their words and actions differed significantly from modern people."
"So much so, they didn’t even allow Fanfan to call you to say goodbye."
"Yes!"
"I know they are Fanfan’s biological parents, but Fanfan has no feelings for them, and she’s already grown up. Naturally, I must respect her opinion."
"So, I turned down her parents’ offer, not allowing them to take Fanfan away."
"But..."
"Her parents are very powerful, so powerful they can ignore the law. Even though I called many people, the outco didn’t change."
With that, he opened a blurry video.
In the video, two figures in ancient costus were faintly visible, surrounded by many riot police wielding rubber batons.
But as they approached the two, a powerful aura erupted from the man, sending everyone flying with that surge of energy.
Witnessing this scene,
Xu Wendong couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
True Qi!
He saw clearly that the aura the man unleashed was True Qi.
And his strength was no weaker than Xu Wendong’s.
"So, this world truly has other cultivators with strength far surpassing my own!" While Xu Wendong’s heart was unsettled, his blood boiled with excitent.
He really wanted to challenge and even exchange cultivation experiences with other cultivators.
Hou Guodong’s eyes were complicated: "Fanfan’s parents are very domineering, but they are, after all, her biological parents. I believe they wouldn’t harm their own child."
"As for you, you should forget her!"
"No matter how deep your feelings for each other, what difference would it make?"
"Could you take her back from their hands?"
