The concerns of Qin Fang and his group were not unwarranted; if the matter hadn't been of great significance, Qin Fang would not have rushed out of the mountains in such haste.

Though his current strength was quite formidable, it was still insufficient to confront the Tang Sect, a powerful faction known for fiercely protecting its own. A strategic retreat was the best choice for him right now.

Tang Nan's death meant that his father, Tang Yuantao, might personally take action. He would certainly be a formidable and extremely tricky grandmaster. Qin Fang estimated that even using his trump card might not be enough to defeat the opponent, and the situation might become even more perilous, leaving him possibly unable to escape...

Fortunately, Qin Fang and his group had successfully exited the vast mountains before the Tang Sect members could catch up. There would be no further opportunity for them to chase outside unless the members of Tang Sect were willing to leave the mountains where they had been secluded for hundreds of years.

"Is this the world outside the mountains?"

As the group emerged from the mountains and reached the nearest small county town at the foot of the mountains, they observed the somewhat dilapidated buildings, and Zhuoma, Yingzi, and Tang Xin all looked surprisingly amazed...

The constructions in the mountains were quite simple, mainly stone houses and wooden houses, with more stone houses due to their ability to shelter from the wind and rain, and protect against large beast attacks. Wooden houses, on the other hand, were relatively easier to construct and could be built slightly taller; however, compared to these five or six-story buildings in front of them, they looked like nothing more than shabby mud clumps.

"This is considered a poor small county town, wait till I take you back to Ninghai; you will then know what a big city looks like... And yet, Ninghai is not even the most flourishing metropolis, places like Capital City, Jiangzhou, Shenzhou, and so on are much more prosperous!"

Observing these few people gaping at the already rather old buildings as if they were palaces, Qin Fang was somewhat helpless and simply explained a few things.

The Wen family of three pursed their lips, holding back smiles, not wanting to openly laugh. It wasn't because they were mocking the three girls for being too rustic.

"Yes, let me tell you about the outside world..."

As Qin Fang's closest companion, Wen Yan now took on the role of an explainer, promptly pulling the few closely-bonded young ladies into a quiet conversation.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang went into the county to find a vehicle, as it was impossible to return to Ninghai without one...

As for taking an airplane, unfortunately, Zhuoma, Yingzi, and Tang Xin had no ID cards and thus could not board a plane. They had to take the expressway back...

Although the journey was slightly longer, it wasn't a major issue.

Qin Fang was not short on money; flinging money at the problem, getting vehicles was not an issue at all, and he soon handled it, even intentionally picking two rather honest drivers.

Uncle and Aunt Wen did not continue to stay with Qin Fang's group; they went directly back to Jiupan City, after all, they had their work to handle, so Qin Fang arranged for one of the drivers to take them back.

Wen Yan was going back to Ninghai with Qin Fang; with six people left in Qin Fang's group, two cars were just right...

Originally, the plan was for Qin Fang and the driver, Master Wang, to each drive a car, but since the three girls were unfamiliar with the outside world and did not dare to separate easily, Wen Yan ended up driving the three girls, while Qin Fang and Song Qingshan took the car driven by Master Wang...

Although it was a bit of a hassle, the group immediately set off, speeding toward Ninghai; the journey of thousands of kilometers was not something that could be covered in a short while.

"Brother Da, how is the situation in Ninghai?"

The first thing Qin Fang did after coming out of the mountains was to charge his phone and switch it on, connecting with Chen Da and others who were far in Ninghai.

Qin Fang had seriously dealt with Li Feng not long ago; that guy was probably still lying in the hospital. Even if his injuries recover, he might have become a disabled person.

Li Rui, as the elder brother, held deep-seated hatred towards Qin Fang and even teamed up with Shen Wuben, a secular disciple from Shaolin Temple, hoping to deal with Qin Fang. Unfortunately, Qin Fang didn't give him a chance and directly fled to the mountains in Yanggui Province. Losing the target, Qin Fang didn't know how furious Li Rui could get, and worried if he might start targeting Qin Fang's people.

Chen Da and their presence were relatively secretive; besides those close to Qin Fang, outsiders rarely knew their exact relations with Qin Fang.

Despite Li Rui's extensive influence and highly informed network in Ninghai, Chen Da and the rest were all former special forces, possessing robust reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills, making it not easy to uncover their details.

Although this didn't guarantee that Li Rui couldn't figure out their details, Qin Fang had instructed before leaving that once something was amiss, Chen Da and his group should immediately scatter and hide, awaiting his return.

"Young Master Qin, there has been no movement over there for the time being..."

Although Qin Fang left Ninghai more than ten days ago, Chen Da and the others have been keeping an eye on Li Rui's side, but Li Rui and Shen Wuben have made no moves, seemingly waiting patiently for Qin Fang's return.

"No movement..."

Qin Fang also couldn't help frowning, knowing Li Rui as he did. It should have been impossible for there to be no reaction after Li Feng was crippled by Qin Fang, yet the reality was just so.

"There's a problem, a big problem..."

Although he couldn't yet fully grasp what Li Rui was truly planning, Qin Fang vaguely felt that things might not be as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"How is Monk Wukong doing?"

Putting Li Rui's affairs aside for the moment, Qin Fang inquired about Monk Wukong's situation. This meat and wine monk possessed terrifying strength. Song Qingshan managed to defeat Tang Sect's Grandmaster Level Late Stage expert Tang Zhan, who was even stronger than him, but he explicitly stated he wasn't sure about defeating Monk Wukong...

From this, it can be seen that the monk's true strength was absolutely stronger than what Qin Fang had anticipated.

Now upgraded to an advanced, nearly Grandmaster Level Scouting Skill, the skill's effects were immensely powerful, yet it still couldn't derive accurate conclusions about those who concealed their strengths.

Monk Wukong was definitely formidable, with just his Reed Crossing River Technique making many stronger experts feel utterly hopeless, not to mention that he had cultivated the secret techniques of Shaolin Temple's Seventy-two Ultimate Skills to an extremely profound level...

"Could it be that Shen Wuben and Li Rui have made no moves because of Monk Wukong?"

The thought of Monk Wukong's strength couldn't help but arise in Qin Fang's mind… Monk Wukong's goal was directly opposite that of Shen Wuben; one aimed to snatch the Buddha Bone Relic from Qin Fang, while the other aimed to protect both it and Qin Fang...

Qin Fang had not yet met Shen Wuben in person, but he was a secular disciple who came down from Shaolin Temple on the mountain, possessing at least the strength of a grandmaster. He might not be comparable to a freak like Monk Wukong who ventured down Wooden Men Lane alone, but his cultivation was certainly not too shabby...

Since Monk Wukong dared to come alone to protect Qin Fang, his strength must be much stronger than that of Shen Wuben. With Li Rui assisting Shen Wuben, it was not possible that they were unaware of Monk Wukong's presence. Now, with Qin Fang not in Ninghai, it was quite usual for them to lay low for the time being.

As for attacking Qin Fang's subordinates, Shen Wuben was probably not that foolish...

"Feifei, how have you been lately?"

After finishing his call with Chen Da and learning about the situation in Ninghai, Qin Fang quickly called Tang Feifei. It had been over ten days since he left, and there was no signal in the mountains. He wanted to chat with Tang Feifei and catch up on phone conversations, naturally making up for lost time...

Whether it was Tang Feifei, then Xiao Muxue, Chu Yunxuan, and Su Xiaoxiao… Qin Fang called each of his women to report the current situation.

After a series of calls that lasted several hours, Qin Fang finally lay down in the back seat with satisfaction, smiling contentedly...

Traveling from Yanggui Province to Jiangnan Province was almost like traversing half of Dragon Country, thousands of kilometers in distance. Even if they stayed on the highways, it was not a matter of just a few hours. Even if they drove at higher speeds, it would take about ten to twenty hours to reach their destination.

However, driving for a long time was clearly not advisable, and Qin Fang and his team didn't plan to keep driving non-stop, as stopping for meals and rest was essential.

Having exited the mountains, even if the people from Tang Sect were incredibly powerful, they couldn't possibly catch up with them, and they were not even clear about the identities of Qin Fang and his team. It was impossible to find them, so Qin Fang was naturally not in a hurry, and the journey became much more relaxed.

From Yanggui Province to Jiangnan Province, they needed to cross several provinces, and some places had quite nice scenery. Qin Fang was even planning to stop and play along the way.

Tang Xin, Zhuoma, and Yingzi, the three girls who came out of the mountain, were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, curious about everything they saw along the way.

The first time they got on a car, it scared them quite a bit. If it wasn't for Wen Yan repeatedly reassuring them that the machine didn't eat people, they would have barely managed to sit still, and probably would have even thought about fleeing back to the mountains.

But soon the car started moving, the speed even faster than that of a swift horse, and the wide roads swiftly flashed beneath them, the surrounding scenery rapidly changing. In their immense surprise and delight, they gradually accepted this new reality.

Along the way, the three girls politely asked Wen Yan about anything new and interesting they encountered, and Wen Yan patiently explained everything, making the trip quite enjoyable…

The three girls eagerly absorbed all this new knowledge, not missing even a single detail, as they wanted to integrate into life outside the mountains as quickly as possible…ажд In their eyes, this was like a fairy tale life they had never even dreamed of!
