Lin Fan collected the seeds of the Spiritual Medicine and looked at Mingyue kneeling on the ground, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Save your dad? Isn’t your dad Shangguan Tianming? One of the big shots of the Dragon Group, and a late-stage Grandmaster, did something happen to him?"
Mingyue nodded painfully and said, "A month ago, the day I sent you to Jinling, my dad suddenly received a call from the high levels of the Dragon Group, and went to the North Ice Plain to search for intelligence!"
"But... but just ten days ago, my dad suddenly disappeared, the intelligence officers from the Dragon Group sent back news... my dad might... be dead..."
After saying these words, Mingyue’s pretty face turned extremely pale instantly, her delicate body trembling slightly.
However, she held back and didn’t cry, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Since you think your dad is already dead, why do you still want me to save him?" Lin Fan frowned and said.
"Moreover, even if your dad isn’t dead and is still trapped outside the North Ice Plain, it should be people from your Dragon Group who go rescue him, right? It’s not my turn to act!"
He and Shangguan Tianming have no familial or personal relationships.
Moreover, Lin Fan even has some grievances with the Dragon Group!
Just because Mingyue came here, kneeling before him, should Lin Fan go to rescue? Impossible!
Hearing Lin Fan’s almost ruthless words, Mingyue grew even more desperate, biting her teeth and said: "Those people in the Dragon Group would rather see my dad dead, he’s been out of contact for ten days, but I only got the news three days ago, they’re concealing it from me, what are they planning?"
"I went to the headquarters of the Dragon Group and made a scene, but nobody paid attention to me, I even got suspended!"
"Now, I really have no other options! Alliance Hierarch Lin, I was rude and offended you before, and now I am sincerely begging you. You even managed to kill the Great Grandmaster Tu Renfeng overseas, only your strength can allow us to enter that place and see if my dad is still alive!"
"Oh? That place? What place?" Lin Fan became somewhat interested.
"North Ice Plain, Wolf God Valley!" Mingyue revealed a name.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, searched his mind, and confirmed that he had never heard this name before, and thus gave up and shook his head.
"Sorry, I’m not interested!"
Lin Fan lightly shook his head and walked towards the villa on the mountain top of Eight Public Mountain.
"Senior Lin, please..." Mingyue called out loudly towards Lin Fan’s retreating figure.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan, as if he heard nothing, remained unmoved. The spiritual fog in front of him parted abruptly, creating a path, and Lin Fan was about to walk into the mist.
Mingyue could no longer care about anything else, quickly stood up, and rushed towards Lin Fan!
"Senior Lin, as long as you agree to go with me to the North Ice Plain once, regardless of whether we find my father in the end, from now on, whether in life or death, Mingyue will follow by your side, serve as a servant, work like an ox or horse, without any complaints!"
After Mingyue rushed there.
A muffled sound came from her knees meeting the asphalt ground harshly as she knelt there.
Gai Ruoyan felt it, it was truly painful.
If it were not for Mingyue being a skilled master of Inner Strength, her kneecaps would have probably smashed into pieces!
Due to the large movement from Mingyue, a photo she was carrying with her was blown by the breeze, and serendipitously floated down right at Lin Fan’s feet.
Lin Fan subconsciously glanced at it, just one look, and his pupils suddenly constricted, halting his steps, his body stiffened on the spot!
Seeing Lin Fan halt his steps, Mingyue thought her words had taken effect, her tone carrying a mix of confusion and joy.
Lin Fan gently raised his hand, a swirl of Inner Strength on the ground, and the photo flew into Lin Fan’s hands.
Looking at the image in the photograph, Lin Fan’s breathing inevitably grew heavier.
"Where did this photo come from?" Lin Fan’s eyes reddened slightly, as he turned back and glared at Shangguan Mingyue.
Shangguan Mingyue was startled, looking at the photograph in Lin Fan’s hand which depicted a ferocious werewolf corpse, snarling and wearing decayed iron armor, devoid of any sign of life.
"This... This is a photograph of a werewolf from the North Ice Plain..."
"Are these werewolves from Wolf God Valley?" Lin Fan asked excitedly.
Because he noticed, upon the tattered iron armor worn by the werewolf, there was a totem exceedingly familiar to him, almost identical to the pattern on the ancient jade around his neck!
However, the iron armor was already heavily corroded, and the totem on it was very crudely done, as if drawn by a child who had just learned how to draw, its craftsmanship far from the delicate pattern on the ancient jade around Lin Fan’s neck!
Yet, even so, Lin Fan recognized this pattern!
"North Ice Plain, Wolf God Valley!"
Lin Fan murmured, his expression flickering uncertainly, thinking to himself: ’Father, could you be there? Or perhaps, are you from the Werewolf Clan?’
Lin Fan shuddered, could it be that his own body carried the bloodline of the Werewolf Clan?
He thought of that large yellow dog, Er Gouzi. Although it was also in dog form, could Er Gouzi actually be a wolf?
With this thought, Lin Fan could no longer contain himself!
"Fine! I agree with you, I’ll go with you to the North Ice Plain!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath.
Shangguan Mingyue was taken aback, unable to believe that Lin Fan had agreed so directly and wouldn’t dare to ask more, exclaimed excitedly: "Great! Elder Lin, when do we depart?"
"Tomorrow morning, at six o’clock, wait for me here!"
After saying these words, Lin Fan turned and walked into the mist of spiritual energy.
Even in urgency, he wasn’t rushed. Tonight, his first course of action was to sow the seeds of spiritual medicine, and then set off for Wolf God Valley first thing tomorrow morning!
After Lin Fan had left, Gai Ruoyan came over and helped Shangguan Mingyue up.
"You really don’t know how to take care of yourself, agreeing to be somebody’s servant, to labor endlessly for others!"
"Sigh, I had no choice, if I didn’t do this, how would Elder Lin agree?" Shangguan Mingyue sighed helplessly.
"I don’t think so. Clearly, he didn’t agree because of your promise!" Gai Ruoyan shook her head.
Shangguan Mingyue was stunned, confused: "Ah? What do you mean? Could it not be because of me..."
"Of course not! Did you really think he was taken by your beauty!" Gai Ruoyan rolled her eyes.
She looked towards the direction of Eight Public Mountain and continued: "I saw very clearly just now. It was after he saw that photo fall from you, that he changed his mind. Also, did you notice how agitated he seemed? Could it be that the Werewolf Clan in the photo is related to him?"
"Werewolf Clan... Lin Fan..."
Shangguan Mingyue also froze, could it really be as Gai Ruoyan said, that Lin Fan had connections to the Werewolf Clan?
