126: Zhang Chulan is desperate

Several days later, late at night.

Inside Liupanshui City, a roadside barbecue stall.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao sat at a table, having ordered some barbecue.

Since the two of them pretty much always acted together, they basically ate and lived together.

Zhang Chulan opened a can of beer for himself, his expression somewhat gloomy.

During this time, Baron had been monitoring Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing, and he simply didn't dare to get too close.

But from their movements, the two were purchasing a large amount of daily necessities and outdoor gear like tents.

Zhang Chulan speculated that the two were very likely going out, and their destination was highly probable to be related to Rootless Life.

Mei Jinfeng loved Rootless Life so much that she was willing to join Quansheng for him, so she would certainly cherish the things he left behind.

Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Baobao, who was still eating cold dishes, and already had some guesses in his heart.

He always felt that there was some connection between Rootless Life and Feng Baobao.

Perhaps what Rootless Life left behind might be the clue.

If something was really discovered then, he and Sister Bao'er would probably have to become enemies with Xia Liuqing.

Xia Liuqing, Wang Zhenqiu, and Baron were all strong, and Sister Bao'er plus himself probably wouldn't be a match for them.

What's more, Baron's ability completely countered Feng Baobao, and he was far from a match for the three of them.

Those people were considered old monsters in the Outsider World. If they really fell out with them, he would have to find a helper.

Zhang Chulan didn't want outsiders to join and ultimately expose Feng Baobao's secret, so the helper he found had to be someone he knew well.

It had been a while since that group kidnapped Mei Jinfeng. If there was really any secret, they probably already knew it and had already taken action.

Now he had to find some help.

Wudang's Kidney-Deficient King? Strength and character were both top-notch.

But he couldn't contact that guy right now, didn't know where he went to treat his kidney deficiency.

Zhuge Qing... that kid with the foxy eyes, dipping Sun Wukong in sauce and rolling it in bean curd skin, full of tricks and extremely cunning.

The Lu family siblings could indeed be brought in to help, but Lu Jin's attitude towards Rootless Life was too sensitive. If they were involved, it would probably be troublesome...

Zhang Chulan drank beer like this, constantly thinking about candidates. After much deliberation, he only thought of one person: his good Junior Martial Uncle, Immortal Master Lin Yuan.

As long as Lin Yuan could join the team, Zhang Chulan could walk sideways; who in the entire Outsider World would dare to provoke him?

"Skewers are here!"

At this moment, the waiter brought over the grilled skewers.

"Skewers! Skewers! Finally! I'm starving!"

Feng Baobao picked up the skewers and started eating. When she got a little tired of them, she even pulled out some garlic and ate it.

Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Baobao, who was eating with great relish, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He also wished he could live as innocently as Feng Baobao, how happy that would be.

"Sister Bao'er, let me ask you something..."

Feng Baobao, peeling garlic, asked, "Hmm... you say..."

"That Baron, can you not beat him?"

Feng Baobao stuffed a clove of garlic into her greasy mouth.

"I had a fight with him once on Mount Longhu, and I really couldn't beat him. I can't smell his Qi."

Hearing Feng Baobao's words, Zhang Chulan fell silent.

"Sister Bao'er, then what do you say if we find a helper?"

Feng Baobao scratched her head.

"Your mind is brighter than mine. You say what to do, and I'll listen to you."

Zhang Chulan smiled, picked up a skewer, and started eating.

"Sorry... Sister Bao'er... I don't have much strength. I don't have Wang Ye's immense wealth, nor Zhuge Qing's prominent ancestry, nor the powerful strength of my Martial Uncle Lin Yuan."

"I'm really useless. I just want to push things in a direction that benefits you."

Feng Baobao said indistinctly:

"It's fine, it's fine! You have one thing that they don't."

"Oh? What is it?"

"You're shameless."

Zhang Chulan gave a bitter laugh.

"Hahaha! You... Sister Bao'er, you really know how to comfort people."

"You keep eating. I'm going to call my Junior Martial Uncle."

With that, Zhang Chulan picked up his phone and went to a quiet place... During this time, Lin Yuan's small life in the Northeast was indeed very comfortable.

Gao Er Zhuang, after rehabilitation training, could already move freely and had started taking Lin Yuan and Ma Xianhong out shopping.

Ma Xianhong's personality was also becoming more open; he had gained a lot of weight during this period.

The group had even fallen in love with the bathing culture of the Northeast, going for a soak every few days.

But there was only one thing: he was too eye-catching. There was no way around it; he was just that naturally gifted, and walking around really made a clanging sound.

However, the good days only lasted a few days. For the following period, Lin Yuan had been tracking the Japanese Ninjas.

Not only that, but Deng Youfu also heard the news and brought people to support him, searching for the traces of those Japanese Ninjas.

Finally, everyone's attention was focused on Changbai Mountain.

Just as Lin Yuan had returned to his room and was about to rest, Zhang Chulan called him.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen again?"

Zhang Chulan showed a wry smile.

"Martial Uncle Lin Yuan... this time I really ran into trouble... Can you help me out?"

"This time... I really have no other choice..."

Lin Yuan also seemed to hear a hint of gloom and disappointment in Zhang Chulan's tone.

"Sigh... Alright, I can tell that you really ran into trouble, kid."

"Tell me, if I can help you, I'll give you a hand."

Zhang Chulan then told Lin Yuan the entire story, from the beginning to the end.

From learning about the relationship between Rootless Life and Mei Jinfeng from Lu Jin, then coming to Liupanshui and encountering Baron, Wang Zhenqiu, and Xia Liuqing.

Then discovering that Mei Jinfeng was recently stockpiling supplies and preparing to go out, and that if a conflict arose, he and Feng Baobao might not be a match for the other side, so he wanted to seek Lin Yuan's help this time.

As for why Zhang Chulan wanted to investigate Rootless Life and the Jiashen Rebellion, he honestly said it was for his grandfather's matter and Feng Baobao's background.

Lin Yuan rubbed his somewhat aching temples.

"Chulan, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that my mission here is also quite important. I'm currently near Changbai Mountain. How about this... as soon as I finish up here, I'll immediately bring people over to help you."

"It's just that time is a bit tight, can you accept that?"

Zhang Chulan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Martial Uncle Lin Yuan! Your words are enough. I will do my best to delay them."
