"You come looking for me, and you still ask who I am?"
Chen Fan turned around and looked at the other person’s face.
"No, no way! No way!"
Xiao Hong said in a panicked voice, "How could you be that Chen Fan! You can’t be that Chen Fan!"
In the headquarters’ files, Chen Fan was clearly just an Early-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist.
But this guy in front of him is a True Essence Realm Martial Artist! Absolutely a True Essence Realm Martial Artist!
Otherwise, how could he, a Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist who has opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, be subdued without any resistance?
"He is Chen Fan, Brother Chen."
Sun Wei stepped forward, looking at him with an expression of disbelief.
"..."
Xiao Hong seemed to be choked and fell silent.
Yes, before this Sun guy, when he saw this person appear, he called out "Brother Chen," and asked him to leave quickly. In that situation, it was impossible for him to be acting to deceive himself.
But, how could this be?
"Brother Chen, help me remove the mask from his face and see who this guy really is."
Sun Wei said.
"Chairman, let me do it."
Chen Fan shook his head.
After all, the other party is a Meridian Refining Martial Artist; there are a hundred ways to kill Sun Wei.
"Okay, okay."
Sun Wei nodded awkwardly.
"No, no, don’t, don’t!"
Xiao Hong shouted like a pig being slaughtered.
But it was of no use.
In the next moment, the mask on his face was removed, revealing a face full of terror.
"You, who are you?"
Sun Wei had an extremely shocked expression.
Seeing this, Chen Fan slightly relaxed. In that case, there were ways to make this person tell the truth, but since the chairman could recognize him, it would save a lot of trouble.
"Chairman, who is he?"
"He is Xiao Hong from the headquarters."
"A Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist who has long dominated the top rank of the monthly contribution points list for Meridian Refining Martial Artists in our association, the number one below the True Essence Realm."
After finishing, Sun Wei’s mind went blank.
He had always respected this strong man from the rankings immensely.
Not just him, but the vast majority of martial artists in the association often mentioned this person during their leisure.
Dominating the top rank for several months straight, what kind of strength is this?
Moreover, it’s said that the headquarters also highly value this person, spending a lot of resources to cultivate him. If any Meridian Refining Martial Artist is most likely to break through to the True Essence Realm, it’s this person.
But what just happened completely overturned the image of this person in his mind.
He not only did such a cruel thing to a companion but also wanted to take Brother Chen away to make him refine top-grade True Qi Pills for him.
This, was this really the strong man he had always respected? Simply, completely without any bottom line!
"Someone from the headquarters."
Chen Fan’s eyes showed a hint of coldness.
This matter is indeed related to the headquarters? What do they want? Inviting him to refine pills was refused, so they resort to such despicable means to force him?
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Chen Fan’s voice carried boundless coldness, causing even Sun Wei to shiver.
"I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!"
Xiao Hong was someone who could read the situation. At this moment, he was like fish on the chopping block, awaiting slaughter.
It was better to reveal everything; maybe he could still save his life.
"Brother Chen, this matter really isn’t my fault; I was used by others." He complained, "As long as you are willing to let me go, I will tell you everything I know!"
"You still want to negotiate with me?"
Chen Fan’s eyes showed intense killing intent. "Do you think I only know one acupoint technique?"
Xiao Hong’s face turned pale.
He knew that acupoint techniques could make people wish for death while being unable to die, and compared to that, his Profound Yin True Qi seemed very basic.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and shouted urgently:
"It was Ling Yu, Ling Yu sent me!"
"Yes, yes." Xiao Hong murmured in his heart but continued honestly, "I haven’t chosen to break through because I’m worried about not having enough True Qi Pills to consume. Because, once reaching the True Essence Realm, solely relying on cultivation to fill the Sea of Qi is extremely difficult.
If there is a sufficient supply of True Qi Pills, the efficiency will be much different. Ling Yu also made me do this for this reason. I did have a thought in my mind, but who wouldn’t be tempted in such a matter?"
He looked at Sun Wei, "Chairman Sun, you are probably still an Entry Force Martial Artist, right? If there were a large number of top-grade Qi Blood Pills in front of you, wouldn’t you be tempted?"
"Hmph, don’t think everyone is like you." Sun Wei snorted, "I’ll naturally strive for what’s mine; if it’s not mine, I won’t have any crooked thoughts. Besides, because of Brother Chen, I am not lacking top-grade Qi Blood Pills now."
Hearing this, Xiao Hong was stunned, then showed a strong look of envy and glanced at Chen Fan with a bitter smile, "Yes, you have close access, of course, you wouldn’t lack top-grade Qi Blood Pills."
If Sun Wei was a Meridian Refining Martial Artist now, he probably wouldn’t lack True Qi Pills either.
"So you don’t know how Ling Yu got this information?" Chen Fan asked.
"This, I really don’t know." Xiao Hong said fearfully, "I asked at the time, he didn’t say, and I didn’t dare continue asking."
"Alright, I’ll ask you again, are you sure it was that Ling Yu who instructed you to do this?"
"I’m sure!"
Xiao Hong hurriedly said.
In his heart, he cursed Ling Yu and all his ancestors.
Damn it, why did he have to find him? If it weren’t for what he said about Chen Fan having no strong protection around him and only being at the Early Stage of Meridian Refining, he wouldn’t have rushed here and hit a brick wall.
To put it bluntly, he might lose his life here.
In such a case, why protect Ling Yu? Better to save his own life first!
"Alright,"
Chen Fan nodded, "I’ll contact headquarters later, and you’ll confront Ling Yu. If you’re lying, you know what your fate will be."
Hearing this, Xiao Hong’s face changed dramatically.
Contact headquarters? Confront Ling Yu? If this matter spreads, even if Chen Fan lets him go, Ling Yu might not spare him!
This Chen guy, he’s pushing him to a dead end!
"Brother Chen, can you not do this?" He pleaded, "Today’s incident was indeed my fault; just ask for anything you want, as long as I have it, I’ll give it to you. Even serving you is fine,
Look, you lack a Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist follower, right? As long as you spare me, I swear, from now on, I will serve you loyally!"
"Serve me loyally?"
"That’s right, even if you want me to be your horse or cow." Xiao Hong showed a look of expectation.
If he could stay beside Chen Fan, it wouldn’t be bad; at least he wouldn’t have to worry about True Qi Pills anymore.
"Serve me loyally, you think you are worthy!" Chen Fan sneered.
