"Right, where is Shangguan Hao?"

After collecting the bodies of Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling, Qin Fang finally had time to look around and suddenly remembered that there should be a Shangguan Hao here, but now there wasn't a trace of him.

This situation was quite strange and even somewhat beyond Qin Fang's expectations.

Shangguan Hao was the first one to discover Qin Fang's appearance, or rather, Shangguan Hao was the first one Qin Fang dealt with, and he had sealed Shangguan Hao's heart meridian with a Silver Needle. The kid definitely wasn't dead yet, but he should have been lying on the ground, crying out in pain...

But somehow, Qin Fang couldn't recall exactly when he had stopped hearing Shangguan Hao's screams... It might have been when Qin Fang was fighting with Shangguan Tianling, or maybe when Qin Fang killed both nephew and uncle, Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling. In any case, Shangguan Hao had disappeared!

Qin Fang's eyebrows immediately furrowed; this was clearly not good news and, in fact, it was quite bad news.

Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling, this uncle-nephew duo, had lured Qin Fang into this trap, betting that once Qin Fang arrived, he wouldn't be able to leave alive. Therefore, other than the uncle and nephew, there were only Li Yuerong and Shangguan Hao present… They hadn't brought anyone else, seemingly to keep a low profile.

This was understandable; Qin Fang was the Tang Family's son-in-law. Although the Lei Family and the Heavenly Pool Sect were ancient martial families and major sects, they still fell under the jurisdiction of the state and had to abide by the law.

Once news of Qin Fang's murder leaked out, and the Tang Family decided to pursue the matter, there are no walls in the world that wind won't penetrate. Who could guarantee that the people they brought wouldn't reveal what happened? If they were found out, the Tang Family would definitely deal harshly with them...

That was Qin Fang's speculation. Of course, he was one of the reasons, and Shangguan Tianling was also concerned about weakening his own reputation.

If Qin Fang were to be killed, then clearly Li Yuerong also wouldn't have a chance to survive, turning this incident into an unresolved case. It's likely that they would even fabricate a suicide pact between Qin Fang and Li Yuerong...

But as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. Qin Fang survived, while those two ended up dead. For the same reason, Qin Fang was also worried about the Lei Family and the Heavenly Pool Sect causing him trouble. Therefore, handling Shangguan Hao properly was crucial—even if not killing him, he must at least remain under Qin Fang's control to ensure safety.

Yet unexpectedly, Shangguan Hao had vanished, and Qin Fang couldn't help feeling depressed...

"Forget it, take one step at a time!"

Qin Fang could only helplessly shake his head. In the dead of night, without knowing when Shangguan Hao had left, finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack; it seemed pointless to even try...

Having abandoned the idea of pursuit, Qin Fang immediately made his way swiftly down the mountain. Even if the police really showed up, Qin Fang could easily slip away.

The bodies were still in his Prop Box, and if the police arrived, they would at most find a few puddles of blood. As for the bodies, they were definitely not going to be found, not as long as Qin Fang didn't dispose of them.

Qin Fang sprinted down the mountain at a remarkably fast speed. Although he wasn't proficient in lightness skills nor did he possess any secretive movement techniques, a +25 Agility fully unleashed was something even a superhuman sprinter would envy...

It's a pity, though, that there is an unwritten rule among Martial World people: Inner Sect experts are forbidden from participating in sports.

Although it's unclear who set this rule, it really does make sense.

An Inner Sect expert can infuse their Inner Breath into various parts of their body, enhancing their strength and speed...

If these individuals participated in sports, those with great strength could easily break the world weightlifting records with ease; those with great speed could easily win many sprinting championships... Indeed, in many sports, Inner Sect experts could easily break world records.

There's a saying that fits this well: the flower that you diligently plant may not bloom, but a willow stick planted without intention may grow into a shade tree... And today, Qin had stumbled onto just such a situation.

Qin was worried about bumping into the police on his way up, so he opted for a shortcut that he had discovered on his way up the mountain—specifically, it was the fastest route out of Xiangshan Forest Park, where the towering walls meant nothing to him.

It was all in the interest of saving trouble and avoiding complications, and he took this shortcut, only to coincidentally encounter someone he knew... and it was none other than Shangguan Hao.

"Rongrong, just give in to me..."

And the first sentence that Qin Fang heard was unexpectedly this. At first, Qin Fang didn't catch it clearly, only recognizing that it was Shangguan Hao's voice. After a moment's thought, he understood what Shangguan Hao was saying.

It seemed that there was another person besides Shangguan Hao... Although Shangguan Hao was perverted, he wouldn't be so bored as to talk to himself alone in the forest at night, and this other person turned out to be Li Yuerong, who had supposedly already escaped.

Hadn't she gone to call the police yet?

Such a thought suddenly crossed Qin Fang's mind.

He had advised Li Yuerong to leave early for the very reason that he feared Shangguan Tianling and his uncle would use her as a hostage, which would surely make him hesitate.

But it was clear that Shangguan Tianling and his uncle were very confident, totally disregarding Qin Fang, believing they could take him down, which was why they let Li Yuerong leave alone without pursuing her.
