Hua Ruxian slapped her forehead, "I completely forgot about that."
Hua Ruxia nodded, "So that's how it is. Ming Zhutian, you're truly clever."
"Of course?" Ming Zhutian breathed a sigh of relief, surely no one was chasing them now.
Suddenly, Ming Zhutian grew wary. Hua Ruxian asked, "What's wrong?"
Then, a person flew towards them, it was Fei Jiang.
Ming Zhutian, seeing he was alone, relaxed his guard, "Is something the matter?"
Fei Jiang first glanced at Ming Zhutian, Hua Ruxian, and Hua Ruxia, then praised, "You two sisters-in-law are so beautiful."
Hua Ruxian and Hua Ruxia nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."
Ming Zhutian said, "You didn't come here to tell me that, did you?"
Fei Jiang shook his head, "Of course not. I want you to help me catch Ying Fan and avenge Commander Zhuo."
Ming Zhutian replied, "We're not close. Why should I help you?"
Fei Jiang said, "Commander Zhuo indebted me. If you help me get revenge, I, Fei Jiang, will follow you from now on."
Fei Jiang was a talented individual, Ming Zhutian could tell. He also possessed some ability to fight opponents beyond his realm, and his future achievements would surely not be inferior to his own.
Ming Zhutian smiled slightly, concealing his inner excitement, "Alright, a promise is a promise..."
Fei Jiang finished, "… a chariot with four horses cannot retrieve it."
Ming Zhutian asked, "Do you know where Ying Fan is?"
Fei Jiang shook his head, "I have no clue. If I did, I wouldn't be looking for you. But I know you're very smart and will find a way."
Ming Zhutian said, "First, I need to know about this person's habits, tendencies, and preferences."
Fei Jiang replied, "Ying Fan hid himself very well. Only now do I see his true colors. He's the type who is arrogant about his talents. His ambition is to become the master of Wanping Villa and gain everyone's recognition."
Ming Zhutian nodded, "I understand. Where do you think he would go?"
Fei Jiang said, "But as things stand, he can't go anywhere. Our Wanping Villa has eyes and ears spread across the Seven Continents. As soon as I get any news of him, I'll know. But strangely, even after deploying all my informants, I haven't received any news about him. I planned to wait a few days, but I'm afraid he'll escape, flee beyond the Seven Continents and hide, which is why I've come to you."
Ming Zhutian exclaimed, "Escape the Seven Continents?"
Fei Jiang said, "The Seven Continents cannot contain him. The most likely scenario is that he will leave the Seven Continents, disappear, and never step outside. Then, there's truly nothing we can do."
Ming Zhutian waved his hand, "I don't think so."
Fei Jiang said, "I'd love to hear your insights."
Ming Zhutian asked, "Is Wanping Villa currently without anyone?"
Fei Jiang nodded, "After Commander Zhuo's death, and then you leaving, the villa lost its leaders. Although Elder Hu San is highly respected, he is old, and no one is willing to follow him. Later, the Assembly of the Excluded ended unhappily. I've dispatched all the personnel in the villa to search for that fellow Ying Fan, so there's almost no one left in the villa except for some servants."
Ming Zhutian nodded and pondered, "Then it makes sense. Ying Fan is very fixated on becoming the master of Wanping Villa, even after hiding for over a decade. I am certain he wouldn't give up Wanping Villa. The most dangerous place is often the safest. Therefore, I suspect he hasn't left and is still within the villa."
Fei Jiang slapped his thigh, "How could I not have thought of that? Let's go back and check."
The four of them traveled together and soon returned to Wanping Villa. Apart from a few cleaning staff and a handful of guards, it appeared very quiet.
Ming Zhutian led the way into the Master's Hall, followed by Fei Jiang and the others. As they stepped into the hall, they saw Ying Fan, dressed in bright attire, with his luggage packed, sitting leisurely on the Master's throne, enjoying the comfort of the seat with his eyes closed, holding a torch in his hand.
