"Your life is in danger, and you're still thinking about entering Glazed City!"
Shaking her head helplessly, Chu Qingqing said directly, "You'll die a miserable death like this. Moreover, my saving you this time was pure luck. If it weren't for you, leaving Glazed City, I wouldn't have had this chance!"
"I'm actually very grateful that you were willing to help me!"
Lu Fan nodded, his gaze becoming more serious. "But I still have to do what I need to do. At least in my opinion, entering the Central Continent Academy is inevitable, and no one can stop me!"
"It seems no matter what I say, you won't listen."
Chu Qingqing said with a wry smile, "If I had known you were this stubborn, I shouldn't have saved you. Then there wouldn't be so many troubles!"
"Look at what you're saying. I'm very grateful that you saved me,"
Lu Fan nodded. "Consider it a favor owed to you, but I have to leave now."
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, where are you going?" Chu Qingqing's face turned ashen. "Don't do anything rash! After all, I finally managed to save you, you're not going to throw yourself into danger, are you?"
"Don't worry about that. No one knows I'm in Glazed City, and besides, Ghost Shadow is still missing. I need to know his whereabouts to be at ease!" Lu Fan shook his head, his eyes looking even more solemn.
"Don't worry, your attendant isn't weak. He shouldn't have been caught!"
Chu Qingqing shook her head. "You should rest and recuperate here! The Huo family won't be able to find this place!"
"But..." Lu Fan frowned. He didn't want to implicate Chu Qingqing, at least that's how he saw it.
"There's no 'but'!"
Chu Qingqing shook her head. "Just do as I say. After all, I'm your savior now, and your life is mine!"
Lu Fan was a little helpless and had no choice but to agree. He kept Chu Qingqing's kindness in his heart.
Meanwhile, at the Drunken Immortal Tower, Hu Xian'er and Hu Yu were dejected. They had been inquiring for a long time and didn't know where Lu Fan had gone. Although not knowing the news was the safest, there was also a possibility that Lu Fan had died tragically.
They had witnessed Lu Fan being severely injured that day. Any ordinary person would have been reduced to pieces.
At the same time, the Huo family head was even more enraged. Not finding Lu Fan after so many days was a great crisis for the entire Huo family. Any slight carelessness could even lead to endless trouble.
"Patriarch, we have tracked down the whereabouts of that Ghost Shadow!"
An old man spoke, "He is hiding in a nearby town. I have already gathered the family's experts and prepared to kill him on the spot!"
"Absolutely not! His master has not been caught yet. If we kill him, wouldn't it be a loss outweighing the gain!" The Huo family head shook his head. "Capture him and bring him back to Glazed City. I'll use him as bait. That way, he can be of use to me!"
"The Patriarch is indeed wise!"
Everyone clasped their fists in agreement, not daring to disobey in the slightest, as this was their Patriarch's decision.
Not long after, in a town, Chu Qingqing appeared and entered a courtyard. However, as soon as she appeared, a man in black materialized before her, exuding a sharp aura.
"I'm not from the Huo family, so don't act rashly!" Chu Qingqing warned.
"I know you're not from the Huo family, but you are from the Chu family, one of the three major families of Glazed City!"
Ghost Shadow said coldly, "Could it be that you've taken money from the Huo family and want to take my life!"
"If that were the case, it wouldn't be me coming, but a Saint King level expert!" Chu Qingqing smiled faintly. "I've come to tell you that your location has been exposed, and you are likely to be attacked. If you are captured, your master will probably risk his life to save you!"
"You mean my master is still alive?"
Ghost Shadow was startled, his eyes filled with joy. If this were true, it would be wonderful. He had been trying to find news of Lu Fan these past few days but couldn't find anything, which had made him very anxious.
"He is naturally still alive, and he is very worried about you!" Chu Qingqing said directly. "So, you'd better not have any accidents, or it will implicate him!"
"Where is my master now?"
Ghost Shadow asked, his expression becoming more solemn, as this was very important to him.
"He is in our Chu family's secret passage!"
Chu Qingqing said directly, "But you'd better not act rashly. If his whereabouts are exposed, even our Chu family will be in trouble!"
"Thank you, Miss Chu, for your help!"
Ghost Shadow suddenly knelt down, showing great respect to Chu Qingqing. Since Chu Qingqing had saved Lu Fan's life, he was naturally very grateful.
"You don't have to be like this!" Chu Qingqing waved her hand. "He saved me once in the killing formation last time, so this is even."
Ghost Shadow nodded solemnly. No matter what Chu Qingqing said, she had saved Lu Fan's life, and he dared not be disrespectful to her in the slightest.
"You should leave quickly! Don't stay here any longer. If you are captured by the Huo family, your master will not let it go!" Chu Qingqing reminded him.
"Thank you for the information!"
Ghost Shadow nodded slightly, and his figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared. Chu Qingqing coming to deliver the message was definitely true, and he had no doubts.
After Ghost Shadow left, Chu Qingqing finally felt a little relieved and then walked outside. But at that very moment, many Huo family experts appeared. Seeing that Ghost Shadow's aura was gone, they were even more puzzled.
"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Chu family?"
The Huo family elder spoke, looking at Chu Qingqing with a sharp gaze. "Why is Miss Chu here? What a coincidence."
"I'm just passing through on my travels. Is there a problem?" Chu Qingqing asked coldly. As the eldest daughter of the Chu family, one of the three major families, she did not fear the Huo family.
"Of course, there's no problem. However, the person our Chu family is pursuing has also appeared here!"
The elder smiled. "It's just that he's gone now. Does Miss Chu have an explanation?"
"Are you implying that I tipped him off?"
Chu Qingqing's expression turned cold, and she looked at the elder, her body exuding a sharp aura.
"Naturally, I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare!"
The elder's face stiffened, and he quickly clasped his fists, his expression grave. He knew very well that Chu Qingqing was the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and he could not afford to offend her.
"It's best if you don't dare!"
Chu Qingqing said coldly and then turned to leave, appearing extremely aloof.
