"Good grief! Are those the roots of the Longxian Herb?"
"Look! There are only some remains left! Where is the culprit?"
"Mr. Wan, what happened?"
"..."
The occasion burst into chaos.
Dozens of photos were in high definition, manifesting a clear fact, which was that the Longxian Herb was cut and taken off by someone, only with some remains left.
Even the giants of Xiangyun Gene, Fairy Island Creature and MAD Group were somewhat touched, looking at Wan Shanhe one after another.
Wan Shanhe was calm to illustrate, "As is known to all, Li Chengqian, my student, has been to Gloomy Dragon Pool, and he was injured there."
Instantly, all were calmed down.
Li Chengqian was so modest indeed, but they were easy to know his strength.
Li Chengqian was almost stronger than those at the Awakening Stage, but he...
Wan Shanhe admitted them to think for a while, and then he illustrated, "The dark python in Gloomy Dragon Pool is much stronger than expected. Even strong as me, I can't kill it!"
Splatter!
All were astonished.
It might be reasonable that Li Chengqian was injured there. Most unexpectedly, Wan Shanhe admitted that he couldn't kill the dark python in Gloomy Dragon Pool. How astonishing!
But then they calmed down, listening to the following words.
Wan Shanhe sighed, "To be honest, I am unexpected about this condition. But it is true. While fighting against the dark python, I could have killed it! But I don't know why, it became stronger. Especially when it sped up twice faster than before, I couldn't catch up with it."
"All of us know the functions of the Longxian Herb. And the dark python is evidently evolving into a flood dragon. But it hasn't succeeded!"
Wan Shanhe turned to be seriously depressed, and he illustrated it so slowly.
All seemed to have their hearts beaten with his words, listening carefully.
Then Wan Shanhe added, "In other words, it is likely that, someone picked up the Longxian Herb!"
"Oh, how unbelievable!"
"The dark python would not admit anyone to pick it up! It is so unbelievable..."
The occasion burst into chaos again. And all were tensed.
They were shocked by the photos they saw and the news that Wan Shanhe told them!
The Longxian Herb was of great significance for the dark python, to evolve into a flood dragon.
Even Wan Shanhe couldn't kill the dark python. Unexpectedly, someone robbed the Longxian Herb from the uninjured dark python...
"Everyone here must be so confused about that thing, so am I. But it is a truth universally acknowledged that, I am frank indeed!"
Wan Shanhe glanced at everyone seriously, "I don't object to you picking up the Longxian Herb. But I am sure that, the dark python had been uninjured before fighting with me! As far as I know, Li Chengqian led the Tiangang team to arrive at Gloomy Dragon Pool first!"
"So..."
"We must have made a clear conclusion!"
"Someone, ahead of us, had taken the Longxian Herb of the dark python away in some odd ways!"
"My word! Someone robbed the Longxian Herb of the dark python! How astonishing!"
"It makes sense. After all, this great variation happens so violently. Some strong beasts could wake up..."
"Mr. Wan, we can't ignore that matter! After all, the Longxian Herb is so rare and valuable! It is said to be able to make one stronger than those at the Awakening Stage!''
"Please make a determination, Mr. Wan! We can't ignore the lost Longxian Herb!"
"..."
The crowd were excited soon.
Wan Shanhe heavily nodded to agree, "Of course! There exist some kinds of unavoidable conflicts between us, but those conflicts are tolerable. However, the Longxian Herb is the outcome of our great attempts! Now it is stolen! I can't forgive it!"
He glanced at the crowd swiftly, "I suggest that, we should cooperate to seek for the Longxian Herb! We must find the culprit as far as the Longxian Herb occurs!"
"Mr. Wan, Dahe Creature agrees with you!"
" So does Weishui Gene..."
"Mr. Wan..."
Then Xiangyun Gene, Fairy Island Creature and MAD Group also determined to agree with Wan Shanhe.
A giant league aiming at looking for the Longxian Herb was built up soon.
...
HD City was over 2000 km away from Hanjiang City.
But with the help of high technologies, it was a piece of cake for people to cross the distance.
The civil off-roader taken by Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia could speed up to 200 km/h. Besides, it was almost intelligent.
At 0:30, they arrived at Hanjiang City smoothly.
Li Ping'an would have planned to rest in a hotel and had a good meal. However, at the first sight of the Changjiang River, Lin Jianjia was charmed by it. It was so spectacular! After visiting the Hanjiang Bridge by the off-roader, she requested, "Daniu, could we not live in a hotel? We may find a good cafeteria first, and then return here to sleep in the off-roader."
"The room inside the car is spacious enough. I desire a sleep accompanied by the beat of flaps, and could I..."
Li Ping'an was fresh to face with Lin Jianjia's request, so he smiled.
To his surprise, Lin Jianjia was so artistic.
Li Ping'an couldn't refuse her begging demand, so he immediately promised a most scenic shore.
Besides, he was energetic and planned to measure his strength in somewhere convenient.
In the battle of the Taihang Mountain, he made so much progress.
Having made determination, they didn't further visit the downtown Hanjiang City. Then they went into a popular restaurant near the Hanjiang Bridge, ordering plenty of specialties in one VIP Room.
There Li Ping'an enjoyed the meals at ease, while Lin Jianjia had to look through the communication gadget now and then.
For the moment they were safe indeed, but Lin Jianjia still had to search and sum up some necessary information.
Then Lin Jianjia found something important and became a little serious. She turned around to Li Ping'an, "Daniu, the multilateral conference has been ended. They determined that, in the lead of Wan Shanhe, all would try to find the Longxian Herb out."
Li Ping'an had just swallowed a bulk of beef. Hearing the words, He frowned and thought for a while.
Damn Wan Shanhe, you were so crafty!
But apparently, the loss of the Longxian Herb was not easily associated with Li Ping'an. It was different from the matter in Lanhai City. Therefore, Wan Shanhe couldn't blame him.
In addition, both he and Lin Jianjia acted quickly and assertively so that there was nothing left. Besides, they were in Hanjiang City, safe and sound.
As an old saying went, "Evil always loses!"
After a while, Li Ping'an inquired, "Jianjia, is there other news? Has Wan Shanhe offered a reward?"
Lin Jianjia answered, "It hasn't been confirmed. But several giant groups have announced that they will award people who find the Longxian Herb. At least presently, we can't sell the Longxian Herb out."
Li Ping'an mocked, "Just let it be! Maybe we can make full use of this herb! They are struggling for an insignificant Longxian Herb! Sucks!"
"..."
Lin Jianjia felt speechless, not understanding Li Ping'an's thoughts.
The Longxian Herb, a top treasure, was looked down upon by him so much...
But then she was surprised by what Li Ping'an said next.
Li Ping'an muttered, "Is the Longxian Herb a kind of cosmetic? If so, I can give it to my Jianjia. Emmm... It must deserve my attempt!"
"..."
Lin Jianjia was touched.
Since the death of her father, Lin Jianjia had been lonely and unassisted for such a long time without having received a little genuine concern.
What she could do was to be stronger and more independent, as she must revitalize Black Hawk Martial Arts Club, and look after Lin Kai. However, she ignored herself.
Lin Jianjia had never desired a marriage, even a kind of love.
But at that time, she changed her attitude. Although Li Daniu was indeed a little annoying and always upset her, she was not bored about him, even... In other words, she had got used to his accompany.
In the face of Lin Jianjia's tears, Li Ping'an was a little astounded. But then he understood. He should not have said...
But he was genuine...
Li Ping'an tried to remind himself that he should keep a distance from Lin Jianjia. And they could and must be good friends. But he desired a closer relationship, and sometimes he even made fun of her.
In the depth of his heart, he was too macho and almost took Lin Jianjia as his belongings...
"Ah, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying, Jianjia! It's not you! Hey, there is a great meal, Lotus Root and Rip Soup! Let's order some, please!"
As Li Ping'an went out of the room, Lin Jianjia burst into tears.
She was smart enough to speculate Li Ping'an's idea. It was so evident that as long as she wanted to be closer with him, Li Ping'an would dodge.
Li Ping'an was bargaining with a waiter, seemingly asking for a quick soup. At the sight, Lin Jianjia turned to be happy and smiled.
She muttered, "Li Daniu, I am not a cheap girl! If you don't treat me well, I will give up on you!"
But evidently, Lin Jianjia was bashful and happily expecting that...
