422: What's the matter with you looking for me?

After Xiao Fan left his home, Song Mingguang excitedly picked up his communication device and sent a message to his beloved.

"Old Mr. Xiao Zhanmo has really left."

"How did you guess?"

Hei: "My IQ is up to par."

"Ah?" Song Mingguang was stunned, not understanding what that meant.

"Never mind, it's nothing."

These four words from Hei immediately made Song Mingguang feel sad again.

He didn't understand what was going on at all.

It seemed like Hei was a bit disappointed in him?

He hadn't done anything.

She told him to go find Old Mr. Xiao Zhanmo and see if he would suddenly leave.

He did.

He left.

And what did that have to do with IQ?

The more Song Mingguang thought about it, the more confused he became.

At the same time, in Wang Dahe's office.

He looked at the current ace mercenary team in front of him and frowned, asking, "Why are you looking for Heavenly Eagle?"

Hei shook her head and said, "It's nothing important."

"Oh, by the way, can you arrange a secret room for us?"

"Then, just have that Heavenly Eagle come directly to us."

Wang Dahe nodded and said, "As you wish, follow me."

After speaking, he got up and left.

As he walked, he was somewhat puzzled and couldn't understand why these two young girls wanted to find Heavenly Eagle, or rather, Yama, as soon as they arrived.

Soon, he led the two women to a secret room, then went out to wait for Heavenly Eagle.

Inside the secret room.

Li Qingqiu sat nervously on the chair, her hands resting on her knees, slightly clenched.

Her flowing long hair cascaded down both sides of her face like a waterfall, covering her tightly furrowed brows, and her cold eyes, like eternal ice and snow, were trembling slightly at this moment.

Hei, who was beside her, stretched out her small hand, which was covered in scars and calluses, and held Li Qingqiu's hand, softly saying, "Don't be nervous."

"If the deduction is correct..."

"He is him."

"But... have you really thought it through?"

"Ah? Thought what through?" Li Qingqiu was startled, looking up blankly at Hei.

Hei gently said, "Have you thought about how you're going to face him?"

"How... to face... I... don't know." Li Qingqiu stammered out, then shook her head to herself, muttering softly, "Just being able to confirm he's still alive..."

"...is enough."

A look of heartbreak appeared in Hei's eyes beneath her black robe, and a thousand words turned into one: "All right."

A full year and a half.

Their Dark Squad traveled to various parts of the Eight Major Military Zones, becoming the most flexible team, capable of supporting various battles and completing any mission, earning them the title of ace mercenaries.

But all of this was because Li Qingqiu wanted to find him.

She was like a demon, stubbornly believing that he was still alive!

Up to now, the Dark Squad had searched from the First War Zone to the current Eighth War Zone!

They had investigated at least tens of thousands of suspicious people.

Every day was spent either investigating whether this person was Xiao Fan or whether that person was Xiao Fan.

Therefore, their method of narrowing down the scope and finding Xiao Zhanmo, or Heavenly Eagle, wasn't particularly clever.

Hei had told Li Qingqiu countless times that the people in the war zone were as numerous as grains of rice.

To look for someone who had already been declared dead, and whom you had personally watched being cremated...

That was even more absurd than finding a needle in a haystack.

But she insisted on searching.

She said Xiao Fan couldn't possibly be dead.

Hei really wanted to say, what does Xiao Fan's life or death have to do with you that makes you search like this!

Even if you find him, what then?

But in the end, she didn't say such hurtful words, and instead accompanied her in the search.

Unexpectedly, after investigating the Eighth War Zone, they actually encountered such a suspicious person!

Heavenly Eagle had displayed such terrifying power on the previous battlefield.

If he really wasn't a Martial Saint, then he could only be Xiao Fan!

Besides Xiao Fan, who else in the Human Race could be so strong!

Secret weapons, special paratroopers, pure nonsense!

Who are you kidding!

If experts of the same realm were so easy to cultivate, what would the alien races be fighting for!

Then they investigated all the major events that had occurred in Tianhe Pass over the past year and a half, as well as some relatively special individuals.

There were over a thousand such people.

Their Dark Squad had already investigated more than half of them.

Finally, they traced it to Xiao Zhanmo.

What was most exciting was that this old man named Xiao Zhanmo seemed to know all kinds of Martial Arts.

They also knew someone like that.

His name was Xiao Fan!

If it could be confirmed that Xiao Zhanmo was Heavenly Eagle...

Then it could basically be concluded that these two identities were just Xiao Fan's alternate accounts!

Anyone familiar with Xiao Fan knew that this guy was very keen on creating alternate accounts!

At this moment, the most coincidental thing happened!

Song Mingguang excitedly told Hei that he had seen an old man who looked very much like Xiao Fan, and said that he felt a strange sense of closeness when he was with that old man.

And this old man was also named Xiao Zhanmo!

So, they just let Song Mingguang test him out.

The result was unexpected.

It really was him!

Heavenly Eagle was Xiao Zhanmo, and was Xiao Fan!

Yet, despite how obvious the matter was, that Song Mingguang still asked, "What's wrong?"

Hei was truly speechless.

What else could she say besides "Never mind"?

She could only sigh silently in her heart and curse, "This big oaf."

At this moment, outside the dim secret room, footsteps approached.

Li Qingqiu suddenly began to tremble, and there was even a hint of panic in her downcast eyes.

If the person who came was truly Xiao Fan, Li Qingqiu was very panicked. She didn't know what to say, say "I've been looking for you for a year and a half"? And then what?

If the person who came wasn't Xiao Fan, Li Qingqiu was even more panicked, afraid that Xiao Fan had truly left!

Hei, who was beside her, sighed silently.

She used to have an ordinary impression of Xiao Fan.

But later, this man displayed even more formidable strength and courage than herself, which completely convinced Hei. She had to respectfully call him 'Squad Leader'.

As for matters of the heart...

Xiao Fan hadn't done anything to let Li Qingqiu down.

Perhaps he just didn't like her?

Moreover, with Li Qingqiu's proud nature, how could she possibly become the fourth person beside Xiao Fan?

So Hei knew that this matter was simply unsolvable.

She wasn't the kind of young girl who talked a lot of nonsense, constantly gossiping in her best friend's ear.

Let everything take its natural course.

But as the captain, she would still care about the mental and physical health of her team members.

She was very afraid that Li Qingqiu's mindset would go awry.

She hoped that she was as strong as she imagined herself to be.

Suddenly, a creak sounded.

The door to the secret room opened.

Wang Dahe stood beside Xiao Fan, who was dressed in an ancestral black robe. He glanced at the two people in the room and suddenly froze.

Li Qingqiu seemed to be in some kind of problematic state.

At this moment, Hei chuckled and said, "It's fine now. You can go out first. Just leave this place to us."

"Oh... alright. Call me anytime if you need anything." Wang Dahe nodded slightly and turned to leave.

He frowned, still feeling a bit bewildered.

This Heavenly Eagle had an unclear relationship with Li Qingqiu?

Wasn't Heavenly Eagle a secret warrior under the general?

Never mind, it's none of my business.

Wang Dahe shrugged and left.

Inside the secret room.

Xiao Fan looked at the two people in front of him, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Wang Dahe said there was something urgent for him.

But damn it... he didn't say it was Hei and Li Qingqiu who were looking for him!

If he had said so, he wouldn't have come even if it killed him!

Why didn't he say anything?

There was only one possibility: Hei told Wang Dahe to intentionally not say anything!

Why intentionally not say anything?

Was it because she was afraid he wouldn't come?

Damn it...

He knew that Hei was a very powerful and intelligent woman, which could be seen from the previous battle with the Demon King Group.

Everyone else had more or less some trouble.

Only Hei was as steady as a mountain, extremely sensitive to changes in the situation, and had extremely strong control over the battle.

She was definitely the most underestimated Genius.

Now, she couldn't have discovered that he was Xiao Fan, could she?

Finally, Xiao Fan remained calm, sat in front of the two women, and said indifferently, "You're looking for me, is there something wrong?"
