This is why most of them chose to slumber.
Only by doing so could they face the trial of solitude.
After figuring it out, Li Chonglou opened his mouth and said, "Does Old Ancestor An have any ideas yet?"
"A little, but the key still lies with this flower. If you can gather a certain amount to research, you might find a direction."
"Then what if I directly bring over the person who grows this flower?"
Old An was clearly stunned. He didn't always pay attention to the outside world, only those Li Chonglou had interacted with were sensitive. Thus, he wasn't very familiar with Du Tian's affairs.
Upon hearing Li Chonglou's words, he immediately replied, "That would naturally be even better! That person should be like you, perhaps you could even use some methods."
"Methods?"
As Li Chonglou was pondering, Old Lin suddenly jumped out.
"Let me explain this. Old An didn't mention it because he was afraid you'd overthink things."
Li Chonglou's heart skipped a beat, but he still waited for him to continue.
Old Lin then said, "Actually, after we completely fuse, we can steal your memories. However, if we really do that, you will also be able to detect it."
As expected, there was a hidden danger!
Ever since he got the Soul Bottle, he had been wary of such matters, which was why he didn't casually choose people for soul fusion.
And Old An knew this, which was why he always actively introduced reliable souls.
However, Li Chonglou truly had no other way at the moment. Besides soul fusion, he hadn't yet found a way to resolve the curse, so fusion was still necessary.
"I understand. Does that mean we can arrange for someone to undergo soul fusion with Du Tian then?"
"Yes, if you trust me, you can also let me go personally."
Old Lin's self-recommendation carried a hint of apology. This time, they had kept him in the dark for so long. However, Li Chonglou wasn't that petty and directly changed the topic.
"Alright, no problem."
The matter was thus temporarily settled.
The main priority was still to proceed as planned and bring Du Tian into his company.
Su Qi's wooden house had no windows. The cool evening breeze from Wushan Town occasionally blew in. While it wasn't cold for the few of them, it did make them feel weary.
Li Chonglou thought for a moment and decided to lie down directly.
Fang Si, seeing this scene, felt even more displeased. Li Chonglou was the first person he had encountered who, as a commoner, did not fear him at all.
In his understanding, ordinary people should be humble and fearful when facing him; that would align with his own status!
His companion noticed something was amiss and couldn't help but put a hand on his shoulder, whispering, "Don't rush to act yet, wait until the mission is completed."
Little did they know, his words had saved not Li Chonglou, but Fang Si.
According to Li Chonglou's decision, if Fang Si continued to provoke him, he would find a way to get rid of him tonight, no matter what!
However, none of the three knew that outside the wooden house, their captain, Da Gan, was constantly monitoring the situation inside.
Until the latter half of the night.
A figure flashed past the window and darted inside.
"Boss!"
The two called out softly, and Li Chonglou also opened his eyes.
He saw Crazy Ma standing there calmly, but Du Yun was nowhere to be seen.
"The person has been taken away. You act when you hear from us."
"Understood, Boss."
Fang Si and the other man nodded respectfully, while Li Chonglou ignored them and closed his eyes again.
Since there were already conflicts, it was better not to stir up more trouble.
According to the plan, Li Chonglou would find an excuse to visit Du Yun after daybreak, so there was nothing more to say for now.
Another hour passed, and Su Qi and the other man returned.
What surprised everyone was that as soon as they returned, they said anxiously.
"Quick, you guys leave! That guy Du Tian seems to have sensed something and is sending people to follow us."
Li Chonglou sprang up from the bed.
"Then you still dared to come back?"
Tian You explained, "Don't worry, we shook him off before returning, but he should have caught up, so we need to hurry!"
With that said, Crazy Ma vanished without a word, while Fang Si and the other man approached Li Chonglou.
"Follow me!"
Saying this, a large hand pressed down heavily on his shoulder. This fellow was clearly taking advantage of the situation for personal revenge. If he were truly a commoner, such a grip would incapacitate him for at least ten days to half a month!
Li Chonglou's anger flared in his heart, but he couldn't act out given his current identity. He could only let Fang Si drag him out through the window.
The other man followed closely behind.
After all four had left, Su Qi said with some concern, "Do you think they'll act against that kid?"
Tian You smiled and said, "Crazy Ma, though crazy, isn't foolish. He could sense the Captain's aura long ago, so he definitely wouldn't dare to kill him."
As he said this, Tian You's smile turned into a hint of mockery.
"That kid is ungrateful. Although his status is higher than ours, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't have the strength but dare to be so arrogant, it's good for him to suffer a little."
Su Qi also nodded, "Indeed, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist teaching him a lesson."
"Alright, let's not worry about him. The Captain will protect him from the shadows. I haven't practiced for two days either."
"It's a rare opportunity, let's take turns on guard tonight."
In a short while, a sinister aura emanated from the wooden house.
If Li Chonglou were still there, he would definitely have smelled the scent of blood from this sinister aura!
On the other side.
According to the plan, Fang Si took Li Chonglou directly to a hotel, the youth hostel that Su Qi had helped him book earlier. To avoid suspicion, the room had not been checked out.
Fang Si threw him to the ground and quickly left through the window with the other man. Before leaving, he threw down a harsh threat.
"Handle it yourself. If you mess up the boss's good deeds, you'll be waiting for people from headquarters to collect your corpse!"
Li Chonglou rubbed his backside, then pressed his shoulder that Fang Si had grabbed earlier, his eyes gradually turning cold.
In fact, when Fang Si took him, Li Chonglou had performed soul fusion again to prevent this fellow from going berserk midway.
Moreover, this time he had also used the Heavenly Eye Divine Insight, which allowed him to discover Da Gan's presence.
Perhaps for Da Gan, his presence was to protect his safety, but in reality, if it weren't for him, Li Chonglou would have already killed Fang Si directly!
Even Buddhas have their anger!
Let alone towards a beast whose hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people!
"Forget it, I'll endure it a little longer."
Li Chonglou sighed. He had already prepared his excuse, but it was only because he saw Da Gan that he gave up the idea.
