9:50 PM.

Capital City, inside the entertainment club managed by Chen Mei'Er.

Liu Siyan knew Xiaofan would come back today, but she hadn't received his call all day. Finally, unable to wait any longer, she came here with Chen Mengying to meet up with Chen Mei'Er to wait together.

But unexpectedly, they received another piece of news.

He had met Shen Zuimo.

And under the pressure of many beauties, Li San had no choice but to reveal the life-and-death battle that had occurred at Ye Dahe's villa.

After hearing Li San's words, Liu Siyan finally understood many things.

It turned out Xiaofan had always been doing very dangerous things and had never stopped. He had never forgotten her, and perhaps this accidental encounter reignited his initial feelings.

Before, Liu Siyan had always been worried that something might happen to Xiaofan. Even though it was just a sixth sense, it was enough to prove how accurate a woman's intuition can be.

And after hearing that Shen Zuimo had actually forgotten Xiaofan, Liu Siyan understood even more why Xiaofan was so determined to go to that place called Yanhuang Soul to find someone.

He really is someone who doesn't let people relax.

Liu Siyan also shared what she knew about Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo's past with everyone, including the fact that Xiaofan's multiple hospital visits were all because of Shen Zuimo. The last time, Shen Zuimo left, leaving only a recording telling Xiaofan to give up.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Mei'Er suddenly felt a little upset. When she first met Xiaofan, she originally thought he was a jerk, and that night the two almost forced a relationship due to their clashing tempers.

Now recalling it, the words she said at that time must have really hurt Xiaofan. Even though Chen Mei'Er sincerely apologized later, looking back now, she realized she was still immature and really too capricious.

So, should everyone keep waiting now? Obviously, Xiaofan won't be back tonight. When he shows up next time, will he have Shen Zuimo with him?

By then, will Liu Siyan be able to face Xiaofan so calmly? Will Chen Mei'Er be able to appear in Xiaofan's house as she did before, dressed provocatively and pretending nothing's wrong? And what about Chen Mengying, when will she be able to voice the feelings buried in her heart?

All these are unknowns. Moreover, it's uncertain whether Xiaofan can even bring Shen Zuimo back. After all, Yanhuang Soul is not a place one can come and go as they wish.

Two hours later.

On the cliff of Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Xiaofan couldn't remember how many meters he had climbed. It started off easy. The first five hundred meters took him less than twenty minutes, but as he went further, Xiaofan could barely move.

The rocks here were incredibly smooth, and it was very difficult to find even a foothold, let alone they were almost vertical cliffs. Each meter of movement consumed a lot of Xiaofan's energy.

But since he had come, he wouldn't leave without seeing anyone. Quitting halfway was not his style.

Gritting his teeth and pushing forward, Xiaofan finally grasped onto the weeds on the cliff, using them to pull himself up onto the cliff.

Standing on solid ground, Xiaofan panted heavily, the exhaustion of his physical and inner strength made it impossible for him to continue immediately after climbing up.

He needed a good rest. Taking out the prepared dry food and water from his backpack, he ate and drank heartily. After resting for more than half an hour and regaining his strength, Xiaofan hid the climbing tools and extra dry food to the side. Then he cautiously proceeded forward.

Not every Yanhuang Soul member was as familiar with the area as Lei Xiaolei was. Xiaolei had been in Yanhuang Soul for quite some time. Despite his young age, after his father was defeated by David and died in depression, he was brought to Yanhuang Soul by his father's familiar friend and began living there. If nothing had happened, he would have started leading newcomers in a year or two, but unfortunately, something happened at this time.

The defense on this side of the cliff was a single line, guarded by ordinary members.

Xiaofan easily bypassed the defense according to the map route given by Lei Xiaolei and headed straight toward the valley.

There were about three hours left until dawn, by which time Xiaolei would inform the Yanhuang Soul people of his whereabouts, so he must act quickly.

However, when Xiaofan took out the map Xiaolei drew from his pocket and shone a flashlight on it to look at it.

"Damn it." He cursed in a low voice.

It turned out that part of the pen-drawn map had been smudged by sweat, making it completely unreadable.

The entire valley was the base of Yanhuang Soul, and without a map, Xiaofan could easily get lost in this unfamiliar place. But there was no retreat now. He could only follow the first half of the map and continue forward.

In the dead of night, there were not many guards inside Yanhuang Soul, and patrols were generally to prevent some trainees or combat members from violating discipline.

Xiaofan found moving inside Yanhuang Soul much easier than outside.

With the help of moonlight, Xiaofan glanced casually at the surrounding buildings. These houses were in the style of the 1980s architecture. They didn't look old only because they had been repaired.

Xiaofan knew that this place, on the map part that wasn't smudged, was marked as the students' dormitory area and training area.

Bypassing the Freshman Area led to the medical department, then moving forward.

All the way, Xiaofan went unimpeded. Until he reached the blurry part of the map.

Xiaofan began to regret not carefully checking when Xiaolei was drawing. It was his oversight that left him flustered now.

Exactly 4:00 AM. Xiaofan was running out of time, he could only continue looking. Not far away, clothes were being hung up, likely the warriors' dormitory. If this was the dormitory, could the other side be where Shen Zuimo was?

In a flash, Xiaofan suddenly jumped over.

"Who's there?"

At this time, a startled voice came through, giving Xiaofan a big fright.

This team member had been shut in a small dark room facing the wall due to a previous mistake. Since the time was up, he was let out a few hours early to rest before the next day's training. But unexpectedly, when he returned to the dormitory, he suddenly saw a shadow flash by.

At that moment, Xiaofan quickly headed towards the source of the voice. With a swift motion, he covered the man's mouth with one hand and clutched his neck firmly with the other.
