This method is indeed worth trying, as he had already planned for it. This would kill two birds with one stone!
He decided to act immediately. His company was just starting out and didn't have many problems, especially if the Gao family hadn't interfered; no one would have noticed them.
However, for safety's sake, Li Chonglou called someone over before the other party left with their address.
Ma San, a fellow martial artist who had temporarily regained his unsealed abilities.
Ma San's peak strength was also at the third level, but he hadn't given up on martial arts over the years and had gained considerable insights. Li Chonglou had sparred with him before, and his true strength was estimated to be much higher.
"Don't worry, Boss Li. With me here, I guarantee your company will be fine!"
Since regaining his abilities, Ma San had become much more cheerful. The feeling of having his strength back was something few could understand.
Li Chonglou nodded and briefed him on other details before leaving the company.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out the door, a white figure suddenly darted towards him.
"Xiao Bai?"
Even though the speed was so fast it was just a blur, Li Chonglou recognized the owner of the figure immediately.
In fact, Xiao Bai had been staying in his room since he returned. Whether it was discomfort with Chen Pao or something else, Xiao Bai hadn't left the room since Li Chonglou's return.
"Why did you run out?"
Xiao Bai's territory was Li Chonglou's shoulder, and it was currently perched there. Li Chonglou gently rubbed its small head, still fluffy and pleasant to the touch.
Xiao Bai couldn't speak, but its eyes were as lively as a person's. Li Chonglou saw a hint of resentment in them.
"Are you upset that I left you here?"
Xiao Bai nodded, its big dark eyes welling up with tears. Li Chonglou felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.
"Little one, I'm not in a position to take you around now. Stay at the company and help me out."
Li Chonglou rubbed Xiao Bai's head again. The latter seemed to understand Li Chonglou's intentions and drooped its head.
However, deep in Xiao Bai's eyes, there was a hint of happiness, as this was the first time someone had been so polite to it!
Afterward, Li Chonglou instructed Xiao Bai to return and stay with Zhou Tong. Xiao Bai was the only one Li Chonglou trusted with Zhou Tong's safety. The actual protection was for Hai Yan and the others, whether it was Chen Pao or Ma San, who had been called back to help.
Leaving the company, Li Chonglou spent nearly three hours finally arriving at a place called Wuhuashan.
It was in a remote town in the northern district, about three kilometers further and they would be outside the scope of Shangjing. But when Li Chonglou arrived, he found that despite being a bit far, the scenery was indeed beautiful.
Wuhuashan referred to five mountains of varying heights, arranged like fingers, with Wushan Town located in the palm.
Here, there were green hills and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant, with a type of unknown yellow five-petaled flower blooming in rows on the mountainside, resembling a maiden's dress.
Li Chonglou was still in Lao San's car. As soon as he got out, a gentle breeze carrying a faint fragrance swept towards him. Even Lao San in the car couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Boss, the scenery here is really nice. I haven't been here in so many years in Shangjing."
Lao San was both surprised and curious. Such a scenic place should have been well-known by now, yet he had never heard of such a treasure in the northern district.
Li Chonglou also nodded. He had to admit that the environment here ranked among the top three he had seen, and even the air was comfortable. The only place that had made him feel this way recently was the lake.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou suddenly froze.
"Wait, isn't this spiritual energy?"
He hadn't realized it at first, but now, upon experiencing it again, wasn't this air filled with the freshness of spiritual energy!
There was spiritual energy here!
And it was clearly not just a little, but already dense enough to be comfortable!
"What exactly is going on here?"
Li Chonglou was shocked. He knew that the central lake had a thousand-year-old tree, but where did the spiritual energy here come from? Why had he never heard of it?
Just then, a sound came from behind.
"Hey, fellow villager, move aside."
There was only one mountain path leading out of Wushan Town. Lao San had stopped because the road ahead had become a narrow path, and cars couldn't get through. Thus, Lao San's car was blocking the entrance to this narrow path.
Li Chonglou looked back and saw an uncle riding a motorcycle, with a beard covering his face, looking honest and kind, with a smile on his face.
The uncle was pulling at least twice the amount of cargo as his motorcycle. The space Lao San had made was not enough for it to pass.
"Lao San, you can wait outside for me. I'll go in myself."
Lao San nodded. Li Chonglou's circle was different from theirs, and he understood that this was for his own protection.
Then Li Chonglou apologized to the uncle behind him and walked towards the mountain.
Perhaps seeing Li Chonglou's politeness, the uncle suddenly stopped his motorcycle as he passed.
"Young man, are you going to Wushan Town?"
There was only this narrow path to Wushan Town, so Li Chonglou nodded in response.
"Then hop on. I'll give you a ride. I'm from inside."
The uncle grinned. Li Chonglou initially wanted to refuse, as he might be faster traveling alone, but then he thought that having a local guide would be beneficial.
"Thank you then."
The uncle smiled, "No need to be so polite, young man. I'm going that way anyway. By the way, are you visiting relatives or looking for friends?"
As the uncle spoke, Li Chonglou had already gotten on his motorcycle. Although there was cargo behind, there was still room for another person in the back seat.
In response to the uncle's question, Li Chonglou countered, "Then why not visiting for tourism?"
The scenery and atmosphere here were top-notch, a definite tourist attraction for ordinary people!
However, the uncle just smiled.
"You wouldn't know, young man. We've only gotten better this month, being a poor and remote place. Although I don't know why, I feel the air has gotten much better too."
The uncle was clearly an honest person and didn't need Li Chonglou to pry information out of him, as he spontaneously elaborated.
Li Chonglou then learned that the scenery here hadn't always been like this. It was only about half a month ago that flowers that had been planted for decades, which no one knew the name of, suddenly bloomed, and the environment improved drastically.
"You don't know the name of those flowers either?"
Li Chonglou was somewhat surprised to hear this.
The uncle nodded, "I grew up here, but I've never heard of them."
