The Second Flight - Chapter 98: Frightening People

  This person is at best only at the mid-stage of Condensing Dan, and it seems that he can use some small spells. In ordinary land, the blocking effect on spiritual awareness is very weak. If spiritual awareness can reach one kilometer in the air, it will be affected by about 5% along the way.

  So Wentai controlled him very easily, but this time Wentai was much more careful, letting Linglan follow in front and himself following behind.

  After all, this person uses magic and should have some connection with the cultivators. Last time Wang Ao was injured in the event, Wentai took it as a warning. This time, two people went together, Ling Lan had her own Xuanwu armor and Jiaolong whip, taking her along would be safer.

  Although after the last Wang Ao incident, Wen Tao had also thought about whether such crazy combat training should be changed. After all, every time he trained, he would end up with injuries all over his body, and although his medical skills could heal himself quickly, what if something unexpected happened in between.

  But thinking about it later, this is currently the fastest way to improve one's strength. More and more cultivators are entering the secular world, obviously brewing a storm that must be faced as soon as possible. The great storm doesn't involve oneself yet, but if one gets caught up in it, every bit of strength is the capital for protecting those around them and keeping their own life safe.

  So Wentai would always use this overloading battle to increase his strength, at this time Wentai and Linglan were both injured and followed the black-clothed man, fortunately he was very weak.

  This guy went to several more houses, but he didn't steal or rob; he just looked around and then shook his head and left immediately.

  He finally rushed to a villa.

  A man in his forties with a thin face and dressed in black knelt down in front of Han Liyang: "Reporting to the master, all suspicious places have been checked and no medicine has been found within the Shu Mountain border. The others have also returned and nothing was found."

  "Alright, go take a rest first. Tomorrow morning you'll join the search party." Han Liyang waved his hand to signal him to leave. He had previously sent seven of his subordinates to investigate the matter of the herbs, searching some very famous places with spiritual medicines. None of them had returned yet, but he hadn't noticed because all his energy was currently focused on finding Ling Lan, his hands fiddling with the crystal that stored Ling Lan's image.

  This was all due to a coincidence, as San Ye's last sentence had nothing to do with what he said before. He also didn't explain that the herbal medicine was one of Cha Linglan's main clues, and if he knew, he wouldn't have been so careless.

  Han Liyang just went through the motions and had his subordinates search around a few nearby cities, checking on some of the more well-known ones before giving up.

  And his unintentional move led Wentai to this place.

  All of this, Wentao and Linglan both saw clearly. Just now, they saw that the person was checking herbs all along, and Linglan already knew it wasn't good.

  When she saw her own appearance on the Shadow Crystal in Han Liyang's hand, she knew that what she had been worried about had finally arrived.

  It seems that his own guess was not far off, these people have already found him. Wentai's mind had already turned and he had a plan.

  He deliberately snorted and said, "I originally thought it was just an ordinary little thief, but now it seems that he actually came to my Shu Xin Clinic, a Jindan period guy dares to be arrogant."

  As he spoke, Wentao flashed and was about to rush up, his speed wasn't very fast.

  "Boss...... can't......" As expected, Ling Lan hastily blocked the way in front of them. When following someone, they didn't need to follow from behind. At this time, there was a distance of about 300-400 meters from the villa.

  At this time, Wen Tao's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice: "Do you want to control what I do?"

  "Ling Lan dare not!" This was the first time Wen Tao spoke in such a severe tone, although he had always been very gentle before. Ling Lan himself remembered his identity and saw Wen Tao get angry. Ling Lan quickly knelt down on the ground: "Ling Lan does not dare to interfere with Master's actions, but this matter must not be impulsive. Otherwise, it will bring disaster. Please listen to my explanation, Master."

  Ling Lan was anxious and habitually called out "boss", while Wen Tao didn't particularly notice this detail at the moment.

  "Hmmph......" With a stern face and a gloomy tone, which was not Wentai's usual personality, the goal had been achieved. The dark clouds dispersed instantly, and Wentai smiled faintly: "How about it? Are you finally willing to talk?"

  Ling Lan only then realized that Wen Tao had done it on purpose, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart. She hadn't known at all just now, although the matter with Han Jinxiu and Qingcheng had affected her, but she had to say that Boss was formidable, and she hadn't felt even a bit of fake.

  "Get up." Wentao directly raised his hand to signal Linglan to get up.

  Ling Lan stood up, bowing respectfully and said: "It's not that Ling Lan intentionally concealed it, but this matter is extremely serious. In order to ensure the safety of Boss and Shu Xin Clinic, Ling Lan didn't dare to tell."

  "You're someone who's found a sense of comfort in our clinic, so your affairs are no longer just your own." Wentao said this without the cold anger from earlier, still very calm. But beneath that calm was an unshakeable decision: "I'm telling you once today, remember it forever - you're a person of my Comfort Clinic, and anyone who messes with you is messing with me, Wentao, and my clinic."

  Wen Tao didn't need to say much, and he didn't need to emphasize the pros and cons. Because when Ling Lan was hiding and didn't want to say it, and it wasn't convenient to say at that time, Wen Tao had already thought that the other party would have a huge force and great power.

  Sometimes words are not needed, and a resolute attitude told Linglan that no matter what situation or who he faced, Wentao's choice was always the same.

  Having witnessed countless lives, seen the cruelty of life and death, parting, and slaughter, having grown accustomed to the entwined fates of Ling Lan and her companions, when she heard Wen Tao's unwavering words, there was a special flavor in her heart that couldn't be expressed.

  "Ling Lan knew she was wrong and decided to tell her boss everything."

  Everyone has their own unique personality. When talking with Ling Lan, you never need to say so many unnecessary words. Simple and straightforward, but absolutely clear and understandable.

  Wen Tao just wanted to scare Ling Lan and make her understand, he wouldn't have easily gone in without figuring out the situation first. Although currently, there are no formidable figures within his spiritual awareness range, Wen Tao still won't be careless.

  The two then returned to the clinic, where Ling Lan told Wen Tao about what had happened, including her previous feud with Han Jinxi and the events that led up to it.

  "Now that the situation is like this, Han Jinxiu will definitely pursue me to the end since I no longer have the support of my clan and don't have overwhelming strength. Although Qingcheng Sect has declined with each generation, it's still one of the few major sects in Shushan, so there's some foundation left." Ling Lan said sincerely, "I know you want to protect me, boss, but this time the situation is severe and not suitable for a hard fight. I plan to think of a way to sneak back to Shushan as soon as possible, then go into closed-door cultivation to recover my strength, and only then will I make my move."

  In short, Ling Lan's intention was very clear to Wen Tao, she still didn't want to implicate innocent people because of herself.

  Is it Qingcheng Sect? I know a bit about it, but what I know is limited. However, that doesn't affect Wentai's decision.

  "You don't need to go now either." As soon as Wentai said this, Linglan was about to speak, but Wentai raised his hand to stop her and said: "I can tell you, this is my decision, it won't change."

  When Wen Tao said this, Ling Lan felt grateful but also more worried. Just by looking at Wen Tao's expression, he already knew that saying anything else would be superfluous.

  "I didn't make this decision on a whim, as you can see from today's events. They're searching for you in the wrong direction, and if I'm not mistaken, he should be investigating your whereabouts among all the cultivators in the secular world right now. So it's safest for you to stay among ordinary people. After all, there are tens of billions of ordinary people in this world, while cultivators are just a handful. As for the herbs, they didn't pay much attention to them. Our Shu Xin Clinic has been quite popular lately, and it seems they've taken notice too. However, they're only doing some simple investigations, and once they've finished, our clinic is already safer than other places. With these two points in mind, wouldn't you be crazy to go somewhere else?"

  Wen Tao's rational analysis made Ling Lan nod her head repeatedly. Upon hearing the boss say this, she realized that it was indeed the case.

  "As for that Han Jinshuo, don't worry, as long as I'm around, he won't have a good day. In the end, he'll know what it means to be a lowly person." However, Ling Lan didn't know that even without these reasons, Wentao would still protect her to the end. Wentao's personality was such that other things could be negotiated, but if you dared to touch someone by his side, that was absolutely not allowed. Since childhood, because Wentao grew up alone, and later met Gu Han's master, there was a side of his personality that had never been fully revealed - being protective of those close to him.

  Loved ones, friends, and now subordinates, whoever dares to move the people around him, he will absolutely not let them off lightly. This kind of personality is gradually being revealed as more and more people gather around him.

  "Let's go." Wentai stood up again, letting Linglan follow him to their usual training spot. For a while now, Wentai had been stuck at the peak of the First Heaven Tier, unable to break through. He knew that every time he broke through a level, his power would increase exponentially. Originally, he wasn't in a hurry, but it seemed like he couldn't afford to wait anymore. He must quickly enhance his strength. For now, Wentai decided to start with Linglan.
