Chapter 3435 — Breakthrough: Third Level, Great Perfection!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Fire Wolf War God Number Five hadn't taken his phone at all before leading the men to the Song family; he'd simply left it in the hotel. He was a master trained by the Center and hardly ever used a mobile phone in ordinary life, so it was only natural he'd go out without one.
Qiu Shanlong hung up and tried twice more, still with no answer, and his brow furrowed. "Doctor, no one's picking up..."
"I know. Let's wait a little longer. If it comes to it, we'll have to report to Miss Lan, the Master's wife," Dr. Benjamin II said.
But the two of them waited another two hours—long enough for Fire Wolf War God Number Five and his men to go from the hotel to the Song family and back again—and still there was no word. That set them both to panic.
"Still no answer, Doctor. We'd better report it..." This time even Qiu Shanlong, who had been so composed before, sensed that something was badly wrong, that something major might be afoot. "Nine times out of ten, something's gone wrong."
"All right!" Dr. Benjamin II dialed Miss Lan directly. And at that moment, Miss Lan was herself waiting for word from Dr. Benjamin II; to the Center, Song Lingwei was a research subject of considerable importance.
"Benjamin II, how did it go? Song Lingwei has been brought back, hasn't she?" Miss Lan asked.
"Miss Lan—Master's wife, the Fire Wolf War Gods have all gone silent. Qiu Shanlong called them and no one answered, as if they'd suddenly vanished..." Dr. Benjamin II said.
"What?" Miss Lan was startled. "What happened? Four consummate masters at the peak of the late Heaven rank, and they couldn't even take Song Lingwei away? Instead they've disappeared?"
"I suspect some mishap has befallen them. With the Song family's strength, it would be utterly impossible to kill four Fire Wolf War Gods!" Dr. Benjamin II said. "If they had that kind of power, they would have struck on our first visit to the Song house—they wouldn't have worn those helpless expressions. I suspect someone stepped in to help, or else this has nothing to do with the Song family at all, and they ran into some other trouble!"
"I understand. I'll have someone investigate," Miss Lan said. She was, after all, a woman who did great things; after a brief lapse, she composed herself. "You needn't concern yourself with this matter. Focus on studying the first- and second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons!"
"Yes, understood," Dr. Benjamin II agreed. Miss Lan had already had the first- and second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons sent over today, though he hadn't yet found the time to study them.
After hanging up, Miss Lan could not sit still. She left her room and hurried to where Ancestor Xuanchen was.
"Miss Lan, visiting so late—is something the matter?" Ancestor Xuanchen asked, eyeing her with some curiosity as she came in.
"There's a matter I'd like to ask Mr. Xuanchen's help with," Miss Lan said bluntly. "In the Chinese cultivation world, there should be nothing that can be kept from the Five Luminaries Sect, is that not so?"
"That is so. What is it you'd have Xuanchen do, Miss Lan?" Ancestor Xuanchen was utterly baffled—what could Miss Lan want with him, and how had the Chinese cultivation world come into it? (To be continued.)RU
