"This driver is even more handsome than I am!"

Upon seeing the man's striking face, Yan Xiaosong couldn't help but exclaim again, murmuring, "If he were also from the mountains, I wonder how many pretty junior sisters he could charm!"

He had no idea that this driver was Su Xuan. The deaths of Jiang Guinong and his martial nephew were, in fact, closely related to Su Xuan.

"Junior Brother, this car won't work!" Qiao Yongshou stepped closer and peered inside, his expression turning troubled. He saw the Koenigsegg was a two-seater and there was no room for him.

"Then you can just get another cab," Yan Xiaosong said, waving his hand dismissively. He eagerly slid into the car, unwilling to miss the chance to ride in such a luxurious vehicle.

"Please fasten your seatbelt. We're heading out," Su Xuan said to Yan Xiaosong with a smile before starting the car and driving toward the train station.

Su Xuan still hadn't figured out who this Yan Xiaosong really was. However, hearing Qiao Yongshou call the man "Junior Brother" made him decide to be more cautious.

"Wow, this car is incredible!" As they drove, Yan Xiaosong, riding in a supercar for the first time, couldn't stop himself from running his hands over the interior, tapping here and there while clicking his tongue in admiration. Then, he began to sigh repeatedly. "Such a pity, such a shame..."

"What's a pity?" Su Xuan asked, glancing at Yan Xiaosong with a smile.

"I'll tell you what, I fell in love with your car at first sight," Yan Xiaosong said, lightly tapping the window with his knuckles. "This car is like a beautiful woman. She makes a man want to... get inside, and he wants to possess her forever. It's just a shame my family's situation doesn't permit it. Even if I bought it, there's no way to drive it back home."

"Oh? And where is home?" Su Xuan asked.

"Up in the mountains," Yan Xiaosong said, pointing in a general direction. "There are no flat roads there like you have here in the city."

"That is indeed a pity," Su Xuan said. "Up in the mountains, agricultural vehicles are probably more practical for hauling fertilizer and what not."

"Hey, don't get the wrong idea!" Yan Xiaosong retorted immediately. "I just live in the mountains; I'm no farmer. My family is super-rich!"

He thought for a moment before adding, "To use your local terms, I'm what you'd call a 'rich second generation.' My father is a CEO, and I'm the son of the CEO."

He wasn't exaggerating. His father was the Sect Leader of the Spirit-Taming Sect, and he was the sect leader's son.

"Does your family deal in agricultural products?" Su Xuan asked.

"No!" Yan Xiaosong felt like he and Su Xuan were on completely different wavelengths. "My family is in... ah, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. It's beyond your imagination."

"Try me," Su Xuan chuckled. "I went to college. There's almost nothing in this world I don't know about."

"Do you know... about the Dao?" Yan Xiaosong asked, completely unaware that Su Xuan was probing him for information. "The Dao as in 'the path of cultivation,' the Dao of the Taoists."

"What's so hard to understand about that?" Su Xuan laughed. "Does your family run a Taoist wellness retreat up in the mountains?"

"No!" Yan Xiaosong shook his head. "It's a sect, a Taoist sect! A place where we cultivate the Dao!"

"Oh, I get it," Su Xuan nodded. "You mean like the Taoists on TV, the kind who live deep in the old forests, practicing martial arts and seeking the Dao. Speaking of which, you guys must make a fortune. I've heard that when people donate incense money, a single donation can be several million!"

"TCH!"

Yan Xiaosong scoffed with disdain. "We're far more high-class than them. In our eyes, they don't even qualify as cultivators!"

"Anyway..." Yan Xiaosong didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic. He asked, "Bro, you're a driver. You must know where to find the pretty girls in this city, right? Life up on the mountain is so damn boring. I'm dying to have some fun while I'm down here."

"Well..." Su Xuan narrowed his eyes. "There are places like that, but they're quite expensive."

"Money is no object!" Yan Xiaosong casually pulled out a thick wad of cash and waved it in front of Su Xuan. "You just take me there. I'll make sure you get a good tip."

"Go now?" Su Xuan asked.

"Not right now." Yan Xiaosong shook his head again. "I have to find someone first. We can go after I find her. Man, this city of yours has so many buildings and people. Finding one person is a real pain!"

"Did someone from your group get lost?" Su Xuan asked, glancing sideways at Yan Xiaosong.

"No!" Yan Xiaosong frowned. "She's not one of us. She's our... Hey, why are you asking me so many questions?"

"I wasn't asking. You're the one who brought it up," Su Xuan said with a slight pout. "Besides, I'm a driver. I might have seen the person you're looking for."

"She's a woman, incredibly beautiful, with big eyes and very fair skin..." Yan Xiaosong gestured vaguely. "Just a stunning girl. Her whole vibe is different from the people here, like a little fairy... have you seen anyone like that?"

"I see pretty girls every day, but I can't say I've seen many who look like little fairies." Su Xuan shrugged.

At that moment, Su Xuan was almost certain: Yan Xiaosong was the leader of the group hunting Qi Li! He hadn't managed to find Qi Li, but he'd stumbled upon her pursuers completely by chance. How interesting!

"So it was pointless for me to describe her," Yan Xiaosong said, shrugging just as Su Xuan had. He then changed the topic back to the Koenigsegg. "Dude, your car is really something else! Anyway, I don't know how long it'll take to find her. While I'm looking, can I just charter your car?"

"Charter my car?" Su Xuan asked. "Chartering this car for a day isn't cheap."

"Name your price!" Yan Xiaosong declared, putting on an air of wealth.

"Fifty thousand a day," Su Xuan said casually.

"Deal!" Yan Xiaosong agreed without even haggling.

"This current trip doesn't count towards the charter," Su Xuan added.

"Fine, fine!" Yan Xiaosong said with a hint of displeasure. He hadn't expected Su Xuan to be so fussy, nor was he aware of the driver's ulterior motives. "As long as you do a good job driving, you'll get your money. And I'll make sure there are other benefits in it for you, too!"

"No problem," Su Xuan nodded. But then he couldn't help but let out a yawn.

He'd been woken before dawn and called out to Kangnai, had searched for Qi Li, and had visited Lu Dongshan. On top of that, the protective garment was still siphoning nutrients from his body to repair itself. His energy was running low.

"You need to stay sharp when you're driving for me!"

Seeing Su Xuan's listless state, Yan Xiaosong immediately slipped into the role of the boss. He chided Su Xuan, then took out a pill and brandished it proudly. "Seen one of these before?"

"Never," Su Xuan replied, deliberately shaking his head.

In reality, he hadn't just seen one before—he owned one. He had looted it from Jiang Guinong's body while searching for Qi Li's antidote. He hadn't consumed it yet, as he didn't dare to take it blindly.

"This is a Taoist pill! It refreshes the mind and strengthens the body," Yan Xiaosong said, holding the pill out to Su Xuan. "Here, take it now. I need you to drive properly!"

"Alright," Su Xuan said, and swallowed the pill.

And then, something completely unexpected happened...
