Chapter 123 I don’t eat beef!
Jiang Chenyu, the head of the Shadow Pavilion, sat in the shadows of his study, gently stroking an exquisite jade pendant, his eyes deep and complex. The spy hurried back, his face solemn, and reported Li Qiankun's taunts to Jiang Chenyu word for word. Surprisingly, Jiang Chenyu didn't bristle; instead, a playful smile played at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? Li Qiankun, interesting." Jiang Chenyu muttered to himself, a gleam in his eyes. "Since he is so confident, why don't I go meet him in person and see what this alchemy master is capable of."
Elsewhere, inside Li Qiankun's villa, the atmosphere was equally solemn. He stood at the window, his gaze piercing the darkness, as if it could penetrate all obstacles, staring directly at the observer lurking in the shadows. The feeling of being watched made him uncomfortable, his brow furrowed as he secretly pondered a strategy.
"System, don't you think these people are too idle? They always stare at others for no reason." Li Qiankun couldn't help but speak, with a bit of helplessness and ridicule in his tone.
The system chimed in at the perfect moment, its voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm: "Who told you not to be more decisive and make an example of someone else to scare the monkeys? Wouldn't that save you from all this trouble? And you're still talking about being kind? Humph, why didn't you just say you don't eat beef?"
Hearing this, Li Qiankun curled up his lips into a wry smile and retorted, "You know nothing! Why don't I eat beef? Because beef is good!"
The system was obviously not interested in Li Qiankun's "joke". It rolled its eyes and stopped talking, leaving Li Qiankun alone to stare at the empty room in a daze.
Outside the villa, the Shadow Pavilion's spies continued to diligently survey the situation, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not detect any movement within the villa. The barrier set by Li Qiankun was like an invisible barrier, isolating all prying eyes from outside.
In the dead of night, Li Qiankun lay in bed, tossing and turning, his mind replaying the events of the past few days. The appearance of Jiang Chenyu, the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, in particular, made him feel unprecedented pressure. He muttered to himself, "How did the leader of the Shadow Pavilion know that I had obtained the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements? Could it be..."
Just as he was lost in thought, the system suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts: "Don't ask me, I don't know the person you want to inquire about yet."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun couldn't help but roll his eyes and grumbled, "Damn! Are you trying to shut me up in advance? I haven't even asked you yet!"
The system remained silent once more, as if proving its innocence. Li Qiankun, helpless, stood up, cursing, and went to the room dedicated to alchemy. He took out the recipe for the Dragon Power Pill and studied it carefully, attempting to calm his inner restlessness through alchemy.
At this moment, Xu San's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. On the other end of the line, Xu San's voice was a little anxious: "Qian Kun, Feng Baobao is missing!"
Li Qiankun's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Why did Feng Baobao disappear? Is it possible that she was doing something alone outside?"
Xu San clearly understood Li Qiankun's concerns, but his tone was even more resolute. "Impossible! Feng Baobao hasn't been heard from for three days. We initially thought she was on some sort of mission, but there's been no news for days. Zhang Chulan has also been looking for her the past few days."
Li Qiankun frowned upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. He quickly made a decision and said to Xu San, "Send me the location, and I'll go find him right away."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiankun quickly packed up, took the necessary tools and elixirs, and drove to the location provided by Xu San. Along the way, he felt a mixture of emotions, worried about Feng Baobao's safety and worried about the unknown challenges.
After arriving at the location, Li Qiankun met Xu San and Zhang Chulan who were waiting anxiously. When they saw Li Qiankun coming, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.
"Qian Kun, you're finally here." Xu San came forward, his tone filled with anxiety, "We've searched every possible place, but there's no trace of Feng Baobao."
Li Qiankun nodded in understanding. He looked around, trying to find clues. However, there was nothing unusual here except desolation and silence.
"System, can you sense Feng Baobao's location?" Li Qiankun silently asked the system in his heart.
After a moment of silence, the system slowly spoke: "Sorry, I can't sense her exact location at the moment. But I can be sure that her life is not in danger."
"There is no point in searching aimlessly. Who was the one who separated Feng Baobao in the end?" Li Qiankun calmly asked the two people in front of him.
At present, only Xu San and Zhang Chulan know that Feng Baobao is missing. They did not tell anyone else. At first, they just thought that Feng Baobao was lost, but they didn't expect that there was no news from Feng Baobao. This is obviously not right.
This time the two of them panicked. For some reason, Zhang Chulan and Xu San thought of Li Qiankun first.
This guy gives people the feeling that he is reliable and trustworthy.
After listening to this, Li Qiankun also felt that there was something wrong with the brains of these two people. As for why Li Qiankun was so calm, it was because the system told Li Qiankun that although the location could not be accurately determined, Feng Baobao was at least not in danger of life.
Li Qiankun was also beginning to wonder where Feng Baobao could have gone to? How could such a living person just disappear without a trace?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense. Could someone have taken him away?
Li Qiankun began to ask Zhang Chulan and Xu San: "Have you met any strange people in the past few days? Or have you come into contact with any strange people?"
Xu San shook his head. Zhang Chulan was silent at this moment. Could it be?
Zhang Chulan pulled Li Qiankun aside and said, "Do you remember what I told you about the Shadow Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Li Qiankun frowned slightly: "You mean Feng Baobao went to investigate?" Li Qiankun didn't expect that Feng Baobao would investigate this matter?
Since Feng Baobao went to investigate Xu San, she should know why they hid it from me?
Li Qiankun was puzzled. Zhang Chulan stammered, "The company also suspects that you have the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, and they also suspect that you were the one who saved Ma Xianhong."
After hearing this, Li Qiankun suddenly realized and showed an unhappy expression on his face.
"So you're afraid that Ma Xianhong and I are building a self-cultivation furnace? You think there's something wrong with me?" Faced with Li Qiankun's questioning, Zhang Chulan suddenly panicked.
"No, no. Qian Kun is not like that. They are just suspicious. After all, you were not there at the time, and the Shadow Pavilion spread rumors that you mastered the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements..."
Hearing this, Li Qiankun looked at Zhang Chulan and murmured, "The Shadow Pavilion again?"
