.'" 。Zheng Ze nodded and stopped asking. 。Fang Yu still had one thing to say. 。He had a feeling that he and this man in black would meet someday. 。As for when and where, he was not sure. 。But meeting....Jiang Ruolan's sect is located in the central region, far from Huaibei and Nandu.

She suddenly showed up, and knelt down as soon as they met, which also surprised Fang Yu.

However, Fang Yu quickly came to his senses and reached out to help Jiang Rolan up. "No need to kneel," he asked, "First tell me what happened to Linger"

"Ling, Ling'er has been kidnapped! My master took a group of disciples to chase after her, but there's been no news from them for two days and two nights..." Jiang Ruolan said urgently.

Su Lengyun patted Jiang Ruolan's shoulder and helped her sit down on the sofa. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying softly, "Don't worry, take your time and tell me. Brother Yu will definitely help you."

Jiang Ruolan took the cup, sipped it, and looked at Fang Yu.

"Yes, tell me the details of what happened. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do to help you," Fang Yu said.

Jiang Ruolan's face was pale, her eyes filled with tears as she sobbed, "Three days ago, Ling'er insisted on leaving the sect to go for a walk. I couldn't resist her, so I had to accompany her out."

"We came to the closest small city to the sect... that's Wen'an City, where we first met you..."

On a street, Ling'er saw a vendor selling ice cream, so she walked up to buy some.

"At this point, Jiang Rolan paused, her eyes still filled with fear."

Just as I was about to pay, a person suddenly walked up beside me and I smelled a strange odor on him. "I turned my head and saw an unkempt old man with messy hair," Jiang Ruolan said.

"At first, I thought he was a beggar who came to beg for food, so I wanted to give him some pocket money."

Just then, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Ling'er in front of me and ran forward!

"I was taken aback for a moment, and by the time I reacted, the old man had already run to the street."

"I followed immediately...but the old man ran very fast, and soon I could no longer see his back..."

"I hurriedly returned to the sect and told my master about it. My master immediately summoned four senior sisters to go after the old man together. She told me to report to the Martial Arts Association and ask them to send people to help..."

"After that, I went to report to the Martial Arts Association and waited for my master's reply... The result was that two days and two nights passed, and my master and four senior sisters were all missing... I couldn't contact them!"

Jiang Rulan grew increasingly anxious as she spoke, her cheeks flushed with an unhealthy redness, and her legs trembling uncontrollably.

Su Lengyun gently patted Jiang Ruolan's shoulder, hoping to comfort her a little.

But at this time, Jiang Rulan was simply unable to calm down!

She joined Zhenyuan Gate since she was young, and she had a deep affection for the sect. It could even be said that Zhenyuan Gate was her other home, and her master was like her second mother.

As for Ling'er, she was treated as a true sister by her.

Now, not only has Ling'er been abducted by a strange man, but even the Master and others who went to search for her have lost contact.

For her, this blow was like the sky falling!

She couldn't imagine what would happen if Ling'er and her master met with any trouble...

Jiang Ruolan looked at Fang Yu, her nerves were on edge.

She was afraid that Fang Yu wouldn't be willing to help, or would say those four words "powerless"!

The Martial Arts Association has a lax attitude, and now the only person who can help her is Fang Yu!

Jiang Rulan wanted to contact Fang Yu with her phone yesterday, but she couldn't get through!

With no other options, Jiang Ruolan had to go directly to Fang Yu's residence to find him!

And at this moment, Fang Yu, after listening to Jiang Ruolan's narration, leaned against the sofa, seemingly lost in thought, with no expression on his face.

"Can you describe the old man's appearance" Fang Yu asked after a few seconds.

"Besides that Is there anything special about his appearance Anything that made a particularly strong impression on you" Fang Yu continued to ask.

"No... the thing I remember most clearly is the smell on him," Jiang Ruolan said, biting her trembling lip as she tried hard to recall.

"That means he was just a normal-looking street beggar," Fang Yu nodded and then asked, "Before he came over to you, did you notice his presence I mean... Was he always sitting on the street corner where you were buying ice cream Or did he just suddenly appear"

Hearing this question, Jiang Rulan recalled something and her whole body trembled!

As she walked down that street, she seemed to catch a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of a beggar sitting on the side of the road.

However, she didn't pay attention to the beggar at that time, so she couldn't confirm if he was the same old man who came later.

But it's very likely!

"On the street... it seemed like there had always been a beggar sitting there." Jiang Ruolan replied.

"When this old man scooped up Ling'er and ran, did he have true qi bursting from his body" Fang Yu continued to ask.

"...No." Jiang Rulan replied.

"Ling'er did not resist" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked.

This was the question that Jiang Ruolan had been thinking about for the past three days.

Ling'er is a genius! Though she is still young, she already possesses the strength comparable to that of a Martial Venerable!

When she was being abducted, she didn't even struggle or scream. She was just taken away by the old man like that.

This left Jiang Ruolan puzzled.

The more she reminisced, the more confused she became, even feeling that the person who had been abducted that day wasn't Ling'er.

"...She didn't resist, nor did she make any cries for help." Jiang Ruolan said tremblingly.

Fan Yu frowned.

This is a bit strange.

There are only two possibilities if the old man has been sitting on the street all along.

One possibility is that this beggar was not a good person to begin with. When he saw Ling'er on the street, he noticed her talent or something else about her and decided on a whim to kidnap her.

But the probability of this is low.

The second possibility is that he had already made a plan, knowing Ling'er would come to this place. He deliberately disguised himself as an inconspicuous beggar and took the opportunity to attack when Jiang Ruolan and Ling'er were not paying attention.

"Were you taking Ling'er out that day on a whim Did anyone else know about it" Fang Yu asked.

“Actually, I wasn’t planning on taking Ling’er out that day. But she insisted on going, so I reluctantly agreed. Before we left, I only told Master.” Jiang Ruolan wiped the tears from her face and replied.

Ling'er's master...

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked again, "You said your master learned about this and immediately took four disciples to pursue... By this time, the old man must have run far away, right Without even knowing the direction, how could she possibly catch up"

"Ling'er had a sect token on her person. Through a magic artifact, Master could lock onto Ling'er's location. She must have locked onto her position and then chased after her…" Jiang Ruolan said.

"This kind of magic treasure, only your master has it" Fang Yu asked.

"Mm." Jiang Ruolan nodded.

Fang Yu stood up and paced back and forth, lost in thought.

The information available at the moment is very limited, essentially just knowing the course of events. Beyond that, we're pretty much clueless.

The only person who knew Ling'er's whereabouts was her master... but they had also lost contact.

However...at least for now, using Fang Yu's own method, there is still a chance to find Ling'er or her master.

"Fang Yu, do you have a way..." Jiang Rulan asked nervously.

"Could you find any items tainted with Ling'er's true energy Even a trace would do," Fang Yu asked.

"True qi..." Jiang Ruolan pondered.

"If not Ling'er's, then your master's will do." Fang Yu added.

“Master's… right, Master gave us the sect token. It should have Master's true qi inside!” Jiang Rolan quickly took out a wooden token she always carried and handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took the token and glanced at it.

On the token, engraved were the two characters "zhen yuan," and one could sense a faint trace of true qi within.

This is a simple magic tool, equivalent to a locator.

Fang Yu returned to his room and took out the Dayan Lamp from the cabinet in his room.

When true energy was channeled into the Great Derivation Lamp, it would light up.ing Chen Qianyuan's words, Fang Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered."That sounds quite reasonable. What do you think" Fang Yu asked Tianjidaoren."You can do whatever you want, I have no object...
