Meanwhile, Yu Manli was also still dwelling on what had happened earlier, filled with fear.
She reasoned that she shouldn't have offended so many people, so what was going on?
She really couldn't bear to think about the scenes that had unfolded before; it was too terrifying!
If that blade had pierced her body perfectly, she would have been a dead person by now!
Tossing and turning in bed, her complexion was far from good.
Unable to sleep, she called Chen Fan.
"Chen… Chen Fan, I'm scared!"
"What happened yesterday was too terrifying. Were they targeting me?"
"I… thinking about those scenes now feels like my heart is being stabbed!"
Chen Fan was surprised that Yu Manli's first words were these. He frowned and said, "It's fine, yesterday's events have nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it!"
"They were targeting Bingqing Meizhuang!"
Hearing this, Yu Manli let out a long sigh of relief, her fear subsiding.
"So that's how it is…"
It wasn't aimed at her, which was good.
Chen Fan added, "Miss Yu, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"
Yu Manli quickly said, "No, no, don't hang up…"
"Is there something else?" Chen Fan asked.
Yu Manli said, "You've saved me twice, and I want to thank you properly!"
"As the saying goes, a life-saving debt should be repaid with a gushing spring!"
Chen Fan calmly replied, "Saving you is just part of my duty. That's all."
Yu Manli sounded a bit helpless, pouting, "Ah, this…"
"Regardless, I should still thank you!"
Chen Fan said, "Alright, no need!"
He hung up the phone.
Yu Manli was left staring blankly on the bed, wondering why he wasn't interested in her at all.
She thought she couldn't be that unappealing.
Damn… this Chen Fan is truly a steel straight man, a real Iron Man!
She grumbled internally, muttering non-stop.
Chen Fan, after hanging up, adjusted his breathing and meditated, consolidating the internal energy within him.
He was only one step away from the Grandmaster realm, but that single step had been elusive.
He wondered about the situation with An Ye.
An Ye had previously inquired about a three-hundred-year-old Fire Ganoderma lucidum appearing, but after more than ten days, there had been no news. Had it vanished into thin air?
As he thought about it, An Ye's call suddenly came through…
It was a case of speaking of the devil.
An Ye immediately said, "Boss, the Fire Ganoderma lucidum has indeed appeared, and there are quite a few people vying for it. Many hidden families have mobilized!"
"The martial arts world is likely to be thrown into chaos!"
"According to rumors, this Fire Ganoderma lucidum is a rare heavenly treasure, grown in a place of extreme yang. After centuries of nourishment, it has become a supreme yang object, a natural tonic for martial artists!"
Chen Fan nodded knowingly, "Since that's the case, then let's seize it!"
An Ye coughed twice upon hearing this, "Boss, I'm just one woman, and my strength is limited. You see… with hidden families involved, it's not easy, is it?"
Chen Fan understood An Ye's implication, "After I finish my current matters, I'll come help you!"
An Ye immediately smiled, chuckling, "Boss, no problem!"
"In wind and rain, I'll be waiting for you…"
Chen Fan hung up the phone, determined to obtain the Fire Ganoderma lucidum.
