251: Chapter 251 News of the Century-Old Ice Lotus
After Zhao Feiyu left.
The people from the Martial Force Adjudication Office looked at the corpse and said with a solemn expression, "Captain, there are no external injuries, yet they died mysteriously. I'm really curious how Mr. Zhao killed these people!"
"I once heard that Mr. Zhao caused a major scene at the Tianhai City Martial Force Adjudication Office and killed an unknown number of people. His strength is so great that even the Great Elder of the Tianhai City Martial Force Adjudication Office, Ye Derong, was no match for him. This person's strength is simply inconceivable; to kill so many people without any external injuries, what kind of ability is this?"
...
This little interlude had no impact on Zhao Feiyu.
Instead, it allowed Zhao Feiyu to reap quite a harvest.
Just as Zhao Feiyu was feeling smug and secretly pondering how to absorb soul power openly and honorably.
Qi Jiaojiao suddenly called, "Brother Feiyu, I have something important to report to you!"
"You little girl, did you forget to call me Uncle again?" Zhao Feiyu teased.
"Oh, I'm talking to you about something serious!" Qi Jiaojiao said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, alright, tell me, what's the big news?"
"It's about Fan Binger!"
"Her again? Hasn't their family left Yunduan City yet?" Zhao Feiyu frowned slightly.
"No, Binger called me and said that after her father was released that day and learned everything, he immediately thought of a lead they had on the hundred year ice lotus."
"What?" Zhao Feiyu was shocked.
He had already been delayed in Yunduan City for several days, and Zhao Feiyu was planning to return to Jiangbei City today to search for the remaining medicinal ingredients.
He didn't expect to find news of the hundred year ice lotus here.
"What exactly is going on? Never mind, where are you? Let's meet and talk!"
On the other end of the phone, Qi Jiaojiao looked at Fan Binger sitting opposite her and, after a slight hesitation, said, "I'm in a cafe with Binger right now..."
In less than ten minutes.
Zhao Feiyu arrived at the cafe.
"You said your family has a lead on the hundred year ice lotus?" Zhao Feiyu asked with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"That's right!"
Fan Binger said nervously, "That day, after my father and the others were discharged from the hospital, they knew there was no hope for this life. But we are natives of Yunduan City; if we leave like this, we wouldn't be able to face our ancestors even in the afterlife."
"After my father heard about Sister Lang, he immediately remembered hearing news of the hundred year ice lotus when they had once traveled to the North and South Poles."
"We still have some savings left, so my father rushed to the North and South Poles without stopping."
"Just a short while ago, my father sent word saying they found the hundred year ice lotus and are on their way back."
"Really?!"
Zhao Feiyu's breathing began to quicken.
If that were the case, then of the rare medicinal herbs, only the soul grass and life-extending flower remained!
And surprisingly, all three were being obtained through the Fan Family.
"It's true, my father even sent me a picture!"
Fan Binger immediately took out her phone and handed it over.
Zhao Feiyu took the phone and looked; in the picture, Fan Binger's father, Fan Yun, was with a snow lotus that was crystal clear all over, like ice crystals. Beside him was a stranger wearing a thick leather coat with a flushed face.
"It really is the hundred year ice lotus!"
Having the Martial Spirit Elixir Formula Art, Zhao Feiyu knew exactly what this thing looked like.
"Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Zhao Feiyu placed the phone on the table and asked calmly.
Hearing this, Fan Binger asked in surprise, "How did you know we had conditions?"
"You're already free, yet you didn't leave Yunduan City and even helped me find the hundred year ice lotus. If you didn't have conditions, you'd be fools!" Zhao Feiyu chuckled.
"Hehe, yes, just as Brother Feiyu... Mr. Zhao said, my father indeed has a condition..."
"It's to let you stay in Yunduan City, isn't it?"
Before Fan Binger could finish, she was interrupted by Zhao Feiyu.
"Mhm, yes!"
Fan Binger clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Zhao Feiyu with a prayerful expression.
Fearing Zhao Feiyu wouldn't agree, she quickly added.
"Brother Feiyu, don't worry, my second and third uncles already know they were wrong and definitely won't cause trouble again!"
"Besides, with Brother Feiyu's current abilities, our family is like ants in your eyes, right?"
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu nodded thoughtfully, "You're right. With your current strength, you can't cause any waves here at all."
"So does that mean Brother Feiyu agrees?" Fan Binger asked excitedly, her eyes wide.
"We'll talk after you actually bring the item back," Zhao Feiyu said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Fan Binger clenched her right fist and showed a smile of relief.
...
Since there was news of the hundred year ice lotus,
Zhao Feiyu was in no hurry to return to Jiangbei.
And just then, Zhao Feiyu suddenly heard...
[Fan Binger's favorability towards you +30]
Looking closer...
[Name: Fan Binger]
[Favorability: 90]
[Beauty: 91]
...
"Eh? Her favorability has actually risen this high?"
Zhao Feiyu felt a surge of curiosity.
Logically, Fan Binger's favorability towards him shouldn't be this high!
After all, he was the one who made the Fan Family end up like this.
She should hate him.
What Zhao Feiyu didn't know,
was that from beginning to end, Fan Binger had never hated him.
Who she hated was actually her own family.
So even if Zhao Feiyu made them end up like this, Fan Binger still didn't hate him.
"It seems Fan Binger is also a candidate worth nurturing!" Zhao Feiyu thought to himself.
"By the way, Brother Feiyu, since the air has been cleared with the Fan Family, let's go to Lin Qingyao's concert!" Qi Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Feiyu with anticipation.
"..."
Zhao Feiyu was speechless and asked, "What does the matter with the Fan Family have to do with a concert?"
"Hehe, let's go!"
Qi Jiaojiao pulled Zhao Feiyu's arm, swaying it back and forth in front of her chest.
Zhao Feiyu immediately felt a soft sensation and thought, "This girl has grown up!"
"Bah! I'm really a beast!"
Just as Zhao Feiyu's conscience kicked in, Qi Jiaojiao, like a magician, pulled out three concert tickets.
"I've prepared everything. And I heard that Lin Qingyao's suitor, Piao Zhichang, will also be there to cheer her on!"
"Lin Qingyao?"
Zhao Feiyu murmured the name; he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
"Brother Feiyu, you actually don't know Lin Qingyao? She's the most popular singer of the younger generation right now and a disciple of the Diva Han Huang! Lin Qingyao has been on all the major hit variety shows lately!"
Hearing this, a beautiful, slender girl's image immediately appeared in Zhao Feiyu's mind.
