52: Mia

Mo Fan, who was having a blast in the private booth, frowned.

With his cultivation, he naturally heard the commotion in the hallway quite easily.

What was the situation?

He wanted to go out and take a look.

The booth door opened.

"Ah!!"

The girls looked over and screamed in unison.

"Thi... this, this..."

They looked toward the door with terrified expressions.

Lin Yan, who had just left and returned, was dragging an unconscious, burly man whose forehead was bleeding profusely, a smile on his face.

"Brother Fan."

"We've got work."

...The booth fell silent.

*Slap!*

A crisp slapping sound rang out.

"Ugh..."

Guo Fu slowly woke up.

Who am I?

Where am I?

His head was groggy, and he had a splitting headache.

"Just how much force did you use?"

"Not much."

"I just gave him a light slap."

"One slap turned him into this idiot?"

"How was I to know this guy's Rank 4 Level 4 cultivation was so fragile?"

Hmm.

Hmm?

Mo Fan whipped his head around.

"You're Rank 4?"

"Since when?"

Lin Yan glanced at him.

"Just this morning."

Mo Fan's lips twitched.

"Just."

"Who... are you?"

Guo Fu looked up at the space in front of him, unable to focus his vision.

"Look."

"His recovery ability is actually pretty good."

Lin Yan shrugged.

Mo Fan rolled his eyes and looked at Guo Fu.

"When did you get in contact with the Dark Cultists?"

Dark Cultists?

What's that?

Guo Fu's eyes were blank.

Lin Yan raised his hand.

*Slap!*

Guo Fu suffered a heavy blow, his body staggered, and he fell heavily from the chair to the floor.

This slap also directly woke him up.

"Do you know who I...!"

He looked up, his face full of rage.

*Thud!*

A massive force struck.

His head, which had just lifted slightly, slammed into the ground again.

Lin Yan stared at the figure beneath his foot, his voice cold.

"I didn't ask who you are."

"Answer me."

"Where did that frenzied power in your body come from?"

"Cough... cough cough..."

Guo Fu, who was coughing up blood, had fear in his eyes.

What kind of thugs had he run into?

"It was... a brother I know who took me to get an injection."

"He said it could speed up cultivation."

"It really was like that at first."

"Who knew that after a long time, I wouldn't be able to leave it."

"I fell under his control."

Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

"Take us to see him."

Guo Fu immediately replied.

"Sir."

"He's usually the one who contacts me."

"I can't find him either."

Lin Yan's face turned slightly cold, and he gradually applied more pressure with his foot.

"No... no, don't!"

Feeling his head could explode at any moment, Guo Fu shouted in terror.

"I thought of a way."

"I have a way to find him."

"We're about to carry out a mission."

"He's definitely nearby!!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Lin Yan remained unmoved, his foot continuing to apply pressure.

"Location."

"Target."

"A small food stall outside Magic Martial University."

"Two students named Xue Cheng and Lian Chuan."

Mo Fan raised an eyebrow.

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Very well."

Guo Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Go ahead.

As long as you dare to go.

You're guaranteed to be... *Bang!*

His skull shattered, blood splattering everywhere.

Lin Yan retracted his right foot and swiped his communication bracelet.

"Where are you guys?"

Soon.

*Ding-dong.*

"Brother Yan."

"Cheng Zi and I are at the food stall outside the school, getting ready for a few drinks."

"Do you want to come?"

"Got it."

"Go ahead and eat."

Mo Fan nodded and also swiped his bracelet.

"Bureau Chief Zuo."

"Magic Martial University, Food Street..."

"Also."

"Send two people to my place to clean up the scene."

After finishing this.

"Let's go."

The two of them left the booth directly... "Brother Yan?"

Xue Cheng turned his head.

Lian Chuan nodded.

"Yeah."

He discreetly scanned the lively surroundings.

"We're being watched."

Xue Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he pretended not to care and raised his glass.

"What did Brother Yan say?"

Lian Chuan clinked glasses with him.

"Told us not to panic."

"Just act normal."

"Someone must be near him; he didn't say much."

Xue Cheng nodded.

"Come on!"

"Drink!"

Lian Chuan laughed loudly.

"Happy New Year!"

The two of them drank and ate meat, no different from the people at the various tables around them... "You can tell even from this far away?"

Atop a tall building.

Mo Fan stood with his arms crossed.

Lin Yan's gaze slowly swept across the area below.

"Of course."

"Within my field of vision, there are no secrets."

Mo Fan raised an eyebrow.

"What color is the underwear of that blonde girl in black stockings with the big chest who just entered the shop?"

Lin Yan's gaze didn't waver.

"Purple."

"Lace."

Mo Fan's eyes lit up.

"Can you teach me that Pupil Technique?"

Lin Yan discreetly moved a few steps away.

"It's innate; it can't be taught."

"Also."

"Don't ask me such low-level questions next time."

Mo Fan shrugged.

"Young man."

"Life still needs a bit of spice."

Lin Yan turned his head.

"See that table next to the one with the black stockings?"

Mo Fan looked over.

A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup was shouting about something.

"I see her."

Lin Yan nodded.

"Yeah."

"She's the key person."

Mo Fan glanced again at the middle-aged woman's stout figure, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Could this kid be deliberately picking one at random to get back at him for what he just said?"

Lin Yan glanced at him.

"Don't question my professionalism."

Immediately after.

He continued to point out several more people.

"These few should be at the lowest level, and they're also the ones preparing to make a move."

"Go on."

Hmm.

Hmm?

Mo Fan, who had turned to leave, paused and looked back.

"What about you?"

Lin Yan glanced at him.

"Waiting for someone."

...Ten minutes later.

The lively Food Street.

Xue Cheng and Lian Chuan exchanged a look and then looked at the young man across from them.

"Hey, big brother."

"Aren't you going to eat something?"

Mo Fan didn't even turn his head.

"I'm full."

His eyes were fixed on the happy figure at a nearby table.

Fine, fine, fine.

So this is what you meant by waiting for someone.

I go to finish the mission, while you go find the purple lace, huh?

Then why were you acting all innocent at the club?

Mia looked at the handsome youth before her with a beaming smile.

"So, Lin Huohuo."

"Are you a student at Magic Martial University?"

Lin Yan shrugged.

"Magic Martial University is full of Prodigies."

"I'm certainly not one."

He took a sip of his drink.

"What about you, Mia?"

"Why would you come over from the European Union Country at a time like this?"

Mia rested her chin on her delicate hand while the other fiddled with the straw in her drink.

"I heard that an invincible Prodigy appeared in the Dragon Country."

"So I wanted to come and take a look."

"It's also a good chance to experience the New Year atmosphere in the Dragon Country."

She looked up slightly and brushed back her long golden hair.

"Speaking of which."

"His surname is also Lin."

Lin Yan's expression didn't change at all.

"Oh."

"You're talking about Lin Yan, right?"

"If you're looking for him, you won't find him here."

Mia sat up slightly and asked with a smile.

"Then where can I find him?"
