585: Filling the hole

Hearing Father’s words and the tone in which he was revealing a secret, Li Hong nodded heavily, his breathing rapid.

“I really have extraordinary power! And I’m already a Qi Refining Cultivator!” Li Hongda said in a serious manner.

Hearing this reply, Li Hong threw a punch with a look of excitement: “Yes, Dad, I knew it!”

Zhang Shan, who was standing nearby, found the scene a bit strange; this was not the kind of atmosphere one would expect from so-called Cultivators.

Instead, it was more like a Father coaxing a child…

“Lao Li is talking nonsense again.” Grandpa Zhang Tongqian walked over from the side, his helpless words pulling the scene back to normal.

“Hey! Lao Zhang, you’re wrong about that. What do you mean I’m talking nonsense again? Isn’t it a fact that I’m a Cultivator?” Li Hongda immediately entered his performance state, completely immersing himself as a superstitious Immortal Cultivation fanatic.

“That’s right, my Father cured my heart disease with a few Immortal Pills he refined himself. If that’s not an Immortal, what is?” Li Hong immediately sided with his Father, questioning Zhang Tongqian.

“You call that an Immortal Pill? Mud balls made by wrapping Western medicine in Chinese medicine dregs, can that be called an Immortal Pill?” Tang Weida, who was behind, also joined in, exposing Li Hongda’s ‘falsity’ from the perspective of a normal person.

“Chinese medicine dregs wrapped in Western medicine, rolled into mud balls?” Li Hong’s breathing hitched, and he looked suspiciously at his Father beside him.

Seeing this, his Father looked as if he had been exposed, his face flushed with anxiety: “What do you know? This is called combining Chinese and Western medicine, it’s the basic requirement for an Immortal Pill!”

“The best proof is that my son’s heart disease was saved by me at that time!”

“Didn’t you just wrap emergency heart medication inside the dregs? How much of Sister Ping’s emergency medication did you take?” Zhang Tongqian was truly ‘hitting the nail on the head,’ exposing the ‘true face’ of Li Hongda, the so-called Cultivator.

Listening to this short conversation, Li Hong’s expression changed from initial excitement to a bit of stiffness: “Dad… did you really refine those so-called pills like that?”

“The pills you gave me to eat back then, were they wrapped with emergency heart medication?!”

“How was it? After being refined by my hands, wasn’t the medicinal effect excellent? I even put candy inside for you, it was delicious!” Li Hongda didn’t seem to notice the disbelief in Li Hong’s words, and he grinned.

At this moment, Li Hong’s mind was filled with silent complaints.

Good medicinal effect? After he ate it, there was only a smell of urine. Ghost knows what was used to wrap the emergency medication.

And his heart disease being cured should have been due to the increase in strength after his second talent was activated.

Thinking of this, Li Hong’s originally excited mood was like being splashed with a basin of cold water.

His Father’s behavior was indeed the same as when he was at home, a superstitious Immortal Cultivation fanatic.

However, he still secretly believed in his heart that his Father was definitely not as ordinary and simple as they described him!

Those three lost packages in the forest were enough to prove that his Father had been in that forest and had fought with the Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon!

“Dad, where are the three bags I gave you yesterday?” Li Hong asked casually, as if it were an unintentional question.

Hearing this question, a gleam of light flashed in Li Hongda’s eyes.

This little brat really came prepared. Fortunately, Lao Zhang had anticipated this step last night, otherwise, he would have been exposed.

“Bags? You mean those three bags containing a lot of wilderness survival tools?” Li Hongda’s expression was completely normal, and his tone was full of understanding.

“Ah, yes, where are the bags?” Li Hong pressed on, his breathing slightly held.

In his opinion, those three bags were left in the forest by Old Master, and it was impossible to retrieve them!

And as long as this point was proven, it could be confirmed that they were indeed the mysterious people who fought fiercely with the Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon in the forest yesterday!

“The bags are here. There was too much stuff inside, and it was troublesome to carry them, so I put them in this corner.” Li Hongda casually pointed to a patch of broadleaf plants nearby.

Pushing aside a leaf, three bulging packages, like three little wild boars curled up in a ball, were clearly presented before Li Hong’s eyes!

Seeing the situation before him, Li Hong’s eyes gradually widened.

And Zhang Shan, who was beside him, his expression was not much better than Li Hong’s.

These three bags were still with these few old men!

How is that possible?!

Li Hong scratched his hair, he didn’t understand.

You know, all the suspicion the Wei Shi Alliance had towards this elderly School came from those three packages.

And now.

The fact is, those three bags, which they considered evidence, were directly shattered by the three clearer bags in front of them!

“This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Li Hong exclaimed, staggering forward.

Opening the packages, shovels, ropes, tents, the familiar identical equipment appeared one by one, without any flaws!

“How could these three bags still be here?!” Lying on the packages, Li Hong said in a dazed voice.

“What’s wrong with you?” Li Hongda frowned and walked forward: “These three bags were sent by people from your company yesterday, so of course they’re with me.”

The Old Man’s words made Li Hong and Zhang Shan slightly recover, but they still couldn’t accept it in their hearts.

Since these bags were here intact, it meant that they were not in that forest yesterday, and the people who fought the Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon were not them.

But how should they explain the three bags they picked up?

“Dad, did you go to the Great Khingan Mountains yesterday?” In this situation, Li Hong didn’t care about anything else and directly asked Li Hongda.

However, under his blunt questioning, Li Hongda gave him a confused look: “I was playing at the arcade with Lao Zhang yesterday.”

Clearly, with the evidence invalidated, the questions asked would not yield the answers he wanted to hear.

Perhaps, they were just thinking too much about all of this? His Father and classmates were really not the so-called Immortals or strong individuals?

Li Hong thought distractedly.

“What kind of riddles are you playing at? Could it be that this Mr. really believes there are Immortals in this world?” Behind them, the observation team, who had been following, had always had strange expressions.

After seeing Li Hong’s state, they even considered contacting a mental hospital.

Zhang Tongqian also spoke up: “That’s right, how can there be Immortals in this world? You’re all grown up, how can you still be so superstitious?”

“Then Grandpa, last time, during the marathon, how could you run so fast? You finished the entire marathon in less than an hour. Normal people, or even professional athletes, don’t have that kind of speed!” Zhang Shan also couldn’t bear the confusion in his heart and spoke out his direct question at this moment.

His question attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Li Hong came back to his senses.

That’s right, he had also heard his Father bragging on the phone about the marathon competition a while ago. He got first place in the School’s evaluation.

He had also seen the news later.

In less than an hour, a large group of old people ran the entire marathon!

Li Hongda had initially just treated this news as a clickbait headline, glancing over it.

Even after knowing that one of the protagonists of that marathon was his Father, he only took a rough look, after all, he was struggling to push his limits and become a talent at that time.

Thinking back now.

If the old people at this University really finished the entire marathon in less than an hour, if this point was confirmed, it would be enough to prove that they truly did not belong to ordinary people!
