127:

With Xu Qing's words as a catalyst.

Li Canglan and Guan Zhenyue finally persuaded He Qianxun.

That evening, Li Canglan brought Keer to the largest shopping mall in Luofeng City.

The excuse, naturally, was to celebrate the end of the major exam for Li Canglan, the newly minted Zhuangyuan.

Of course, before setting out, Li Canglan had explained to Keer that they might encounter danger on this trip.

But in order to avenge her brother, Keer was not the least bit worried about the dangers lurking in the shadows.

After all, Keer still had the Heart-Nature of a young girl.

Plus, she had been locked up by the Qian family since she was young and was not allowed to go out as she pleased.

If not for the spatial wormhole disaster, she would likely still be trapped in that lightless environment all day long.

Even after being rescued by Li Canglan and brought to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

For the sake of safety, there were very few times she was able to go out.

Now that she was out, she felt a bit nervous at first.

But as time passed, and the enemy did not appear, Keer immediately relaxed.

She tasted desserts, looked at small accessories, and had a great time playing.

For a rare moment, a genuine smile appeared on Li Canglan's face.

For so many years in this world, he had no family to accompany him.

He had originally thought he was used to this kind of life.

Staying in the wilderness for nearly two months, he hadn't felt uncomfortable.

But now, he truly regarded Uncle He and Keer as his own family from the bottom of his heart.

Although this trip was risky, he would definitely protect Keer well.

"Canglan brother, this cake is so sweet, you try some!"

Keer stood on her tiptoes, scooped a spoonful of cake, and fed it into Li Canglan's mouth.

A doting smile appeared on Li Canglan's face.

In a street in the distance.

A man wearing a martial arts uniform saw Keer in front of Li Canglan, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

He immediately wanted to send a message to the captain in charge of their squad.

But then he thought better of it.

If he sent this to the captain, wouldn't all the credit go to the captain?

The bearded man immediately put away his phone and quietly walked towards Keer.

Li Canglan noticed the ill-intentioned gaze immediately.

He glanced sideways and discovered it was just a Martial Artist in black with an aura of only about a One-Star Warrior.

"I thought I'd hooked a big fish, but it looks like it's just a blind man greedy for merit."

If this person had watched the livestream of the martial arts major exam.

He should have known that Li Canglan was at least a One-Star Warrior.

Being a One-Star Warrior himself, he dared to try and kidnap someone in front of the Zhuangyuan of the major exam.

Was he tired of living?

When Li Canglan and Keer were passing a street corner.

The man in black reached out and grabbed at Keer's shoulder.

However, before he could grab Keer, he felt a sharp pain in his palm.

"Ah!"

The bearded man let out a miserable scream, pulled his hand back, and took a look.

There were five bloody holes in it!

Knowing things were going badly, he immediately wanted to run away.

But his wrist was grabbed, and with a snap.

After his palm was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, Li Canglan lightly kicked the back of his knee, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

Since the bearded man wanted to kidnap Keer, he naturally wouldn't choose a busy intersection.

This directly resulted in the entire process going unnoticed by anyone.

Li Canglan gave Keer a thumbs up and escorted the bearded man into an alley.

"Keer, well done."

Li Canglan praised her.

Keer, who rarely got to take action, was immediately overjoyed after being praised.

A child's happiness is often that simple.

Just a word of affirmation from an adult can make a child happy for a whole day.

But many people do not understand this truth.

They only know how to blindly put pressure on their children, hoping they will work hard.

Li Canglan patted Keer's head.

Fortunately, Keer was not like Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's use of supernatural powers would consume his own lifespan.

But Keer did not have this limitation.

Otherwise, Li Canglan would not have allowed Keer to use her supernatural powers casually.

This proved from the side that the Qian family had made some progress in their research on forbidden drugs.

And Xu Qing was one of the early experimental sacrifices.

The one who was lucky enough to survive by chance.

The moment he looked at the bearded man, his gaze turned cold.

"How many more lackeys of the Qian family are in this vicinity?"

The bearded man's wrist was completely shattered, and the pain caused his facial features to twist into a ball.

"What Qian family? I don't know what you're talking about... Ah!!!"

Before the bearded man could finish his sentence, the bones in his palm were crushed into fragments by Li Canglan.

"I advise you to think clearly before answering my question."

Li Canglan's gaze was icy,

"Otherwise, what awaits you will be a disaster you cannot imagine."

The bearded man was covered in sweat, his heart filled with terror.

This young man looked young, but his methods were ruthless.

He even felt that the other party had no qualms about taking action against him inside the city!

While the bearded man hesitated, Li Canglan had already reached out and grabbed his other arm.

The bearded man hurriedly said in a rushed voice,

"Don't, don't, don't... I'll talk!"

Li Canglan stopped his movements,

"I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts."

"If I tell you, can you let me go?"

The bearded man asked, biting the bullet.

"You do not have the qualifications to bargain with me right now."

The bearded man sighed in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been greedy for merit, only to end up provoking such a devil.

"I only know that the Qian family dispatched over a dozen squads to patrol the various streets day and night."

"How many people are in each squad? What is their strength?"

"Each squad has fifteen people, all are Early Stage or Middle Stage One-Star Warriors, only the captain is a Peak One-Star Warrior."

Li Canglan narrowed his eyes.

The Qian family's influence is not small; they have actually recruited so many Martial Artists.

However, those who join the Qian family are all at the bottom of the martial arts world.

Relying on the Qian family's status to throw their weight around.

Truly powerful Martial Artists surely wouldn't look up to the Qian family.

"Turn on your phone."

Li Canglan searched the bearded man and took out his phone.

The bearded man wanted to refuse, but after being glared at by Li Canglan, he obediently cowered.

The secrets on the phone were not as important as his life.

"Now you can..."

Before the bearded man could finish his sentence, he was knocked unconscious by a neck chop from Li Canglan.

Dragging the bearded man to a corner of the street and tying him up, Li Canglan then used his phone to send a message in the squad's contact group.

"Target's whereabouts discovered, near Fandou Garden!"

After sending the message, Li Canglan casually checked the bearded man's phone, wanting to see if there were any valuable clues inside.

But he discovered some links with license plate numbers like IPX, SSIS, and so on.

"Sure enough, even if they aren't lacking women, they can't change the habit of appreciating Japanese teachers."

Li Canglan remarked with a sigh.

This also reminded Li Canglan of watching Brother Feng's little movies back in the day.

"Sigh, happy times are always short-lived."

No wonder people online always say that even if you die, you must crawl back up and delete your browser history before lying back down.

Besides that, there were only messages on some chat apps flirting with different women.

Li Canglan just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

"Time to wait for the rabbit."
