"He didn’t reveal his identity to you?"
"Yeah."
Shen Si smiled bitterly and said, "If he had revealed his identity back then, would I be calling you now to ask about him?"
"Indeed, sigh."
Chang Fei sighed, thinking of something, and immediately felt a deep sense of melancholy.
"And then what happened?"
He continued to ask.
"Then, Pei Yong also brought people over. They relied on their numbers to try to drive us away. Chen Fan was unwilling to back down, and just as a big fight was about to break out, three Commander-level Fierce Beasts arrived."
"Three Commander-level Fierce Beasts?"
Upon hearing this, even Chang Fei was extremely shocked.
From Old Shen’s words, could it be that Chen Fan...?
"Yes, three Commander-level Fierce Beasts, all Strong Demon Apes. However, two were ordinary Commander-level, and one was High-level Commander. This situation put immense pressure on all of us. Pei Yong and his group immediately changed their attitude and offered to cooperate with us.
In the next moment, Chen Fan took action. He shot each of the three Commander-level Fierce Beasts, one arrow per beast, killing them instantly. This display of power shocked all of us. In the end, the twelve Celestial God Fruits fell into his pocket without any dispute."
"Three Commander-level Fierce Beasts? And one was even a High-level Commander?"
Chang Fei felt a chill down his spine.
Does Ling Yu really think he’s a match for someone like that?
Even the president might feel pressured, right?
"Yes, I just received a call from the Jiangdong Sub-district Martial Arts Association. Chairman Liu Lin told me that they also encountered Chen Fan in Huang City. They watched as Chen Fan shot and killed three Commander-level Fierce Beasts in the blink of an eye. It happened so fast they couldn’t even react."
Shen Si spoke awkwardly, "After that, they called me to inquire about Chen Fan’s information. They believe there’s a high chance that the person they saw is the Chen Fan from our association.
And I didn’t know when our association had such a figure. Old Chang, you’re really unfair, not telling me about this. Do you know how embarrassed I was?"
"Sorry, sorry."
Chang Fei apologized, "It’s mainly because Brother Chen’s realm updated only recently. I was planning to tell you when you got back."
"Really?"
"Really, really."
Chang Fei replied vaguely.
"Alright then. Old Chang, it seems like you are quite familiar with Chen Fan. Can you do me a favor?" Shen Si asked tentatively.
"Does it involve Brother Chen?"
"Yes."
Shen Si smiled and said, "The other day, when I parted ways with Brother Chen, I gave him my business card, wanting to cooperate with him and explore the wilderness for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Unfortunately, a day has passed, and I haven’t gotten a response from Chen Fan. I don’t know if he doesn’t want to cooperate with me or if he’s too busy and forgot.
Now that I know that powerhouse is indeed from our association, that’s even better. Old Chang, can you contact Brother Chen for me and put in a good word?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Chang Fei looked troubled.
"?"
Shen Si frowned, a bit dissatisfied, "Old Chang, what do you mean? You know my Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill can sense the aura of countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but some places are too well-guarded. The president is busy with his breakthrough to the Celestial Human Realm, and it’s hard for him to spare time.
Brother Chen, with his unrivaled archery skills and unfathomable strength, if he can accompany me, we could go to places we couldn’t before. It would be beneficial for him and our association."
To him, such win-win situations shouldn’t be taken lightly.
"Sigh."
Chang Fei sighed deeply and said, "Old Shen, don’t think I don’t understand your point. But there’s more to this matter."
"More to it?" Shen Si was taken aback.
"Yes."
Chang Fei responded helplessly, "Actually, I wasn’t planning to say much about this, but since you’ve asked, I’ll be straightforward."
"Brother Chen’s relationship with the association is a bit strained right now."
"A bit strained?"
Shen Si was surprised, "What’s the reason? Old Chang, didn’t you say that the association got a pill formula from Brother Chen? Could it be that the rewards didn’t satisfy him, causing the strain?"
"No."
Chang Fei shook his head and sighed, "But it does have something to do with it."
"Then why don’t you tell me?"
Shen Si was impatient.
"It’s related to Ling Yu."
Chang Fei sighed, "After learning that Brother Chen could refine Top-grade True Qi Pills, Ling Yu might have had bad intentions and sent Xiao Hong to the Anshan City Martial Arts Association to take him away."
"What?"
Shen Si was shocked, "Ling Yu did such a thing?"
"Whether it was Ling Yu or not, I’m not entirely sure, but he is a suspect, because Xiao Hong, unable to compete with Brother Chen, pointed him out."
"Then what happened?"
Shen Si asked eagerly.
"Then, Brother Chen dragged Xiao Hong to confront Ling Yu."
"Did Ling Yu admit it?"
"No, or rather, Ling Yu never showed up."
"Ling Yu didn’t show up? This?" Shen Si’s face darkened.
The phrase ’a clear conscience fears no accusation’ came to mind. If Ling Yu had nothing to do with it, why wouldn’t he show up?
Not showing up just showed he had a guilty conscience.
But avoiding difficult situations isn’t a solution, is it?
"Old Chang, if that’s the case, why hesitate? Get Ling Yu out to apologize to Brother Chen."
He said anxiously, "Even if it doesn’t work, it’s better than doing nothing. Moreover, I don’t think Brother Chen is narrow-minded. Maybe he would be touched by Ling Yu’s gesture and let bygones be bygones. That way, the conflict between him and the association would be resolved."
He thought it was an obvious win-win situation.
"Sigh."
Chang Fei sighed, "Old Shen, if it were that simple, that would be great."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Si paused for a moment.
"Old Shen, have you forgotten who Ling Yu’s master is?"
As soon as he said that, Shen Si trembled.
"Is it the president?"
"Correct."
Chang Fei sighed, "You know how the president is. Ling Yu is more like a son to him than a disciple, so the president didn’t make Ling Yu show up. Instead, he personally asked Xiao Hong if Ling Yu was really behind it, telling him to think carefully before answering."
"Xiao Hong didn’t retract his earlier statement and take all the blame, did he?"
Shen Si was at a loss for words.
Anyone with half a brain could see the trickery.
Not just Brother Chen, even he wouldn’t believe it.
"So, Brother Chen’s dissatisfaction with the association stems from this?"
"Yes, before hanging up, Brother Chen specifically said he would come to the headquarters soon to confront Ling Yu personally.
At first, I thought his strength compared to Ling Yu was uncertain. But over the days, his strength has grown terrifyingly fast. Forget about one Ling Yu, even ten wouldn’t be his match.
Old Shen, to be honest, I’m genuinely worried that the day Brother Chen comes to the headquarters, even the president won’t be his equal."
Shen Si’s mouth hung open. It took a while before he managed to say, "Why don’t you try to persuade the president?"
"I tried, but it’s useless. You know the president’s temper." Chang Fei said helplessly, "Once he decides something, not even nine oxen can pull him back."
"Yeah."
Shen Si nodded, "And he’s very protective. Combined with these two traits, it’s really troubling. So there’s really no way to resolve the conflict between the association and Brother Chen?"
"So far, no."
Chang Fei shook his head.
"But Old Shen, regarding what you mentioned before, I can still contact Brother Chen for you, but you should be mentally prepared."
Shen Si’s face turned bitter.
Now he understood why Chen Fan didn’t acknowledge them that day.
Evidently, the rift had already formed.
Even if he waited ten days, thirty days, half a year, he wouldn’t get a call back.
"President, you’re being foolish."
He sighed, "Alright, Old Chang, give me Brother Chen’s contact information. Let me talk to him. Though he’ll likely refuse, I need to try, right?"
"Hmm, alright. I’ll give you his contact information later. Just don’t get your hopes too high."
"I understand."
Shen Si hung up the phone, frowning deeply.
...
Huang City.
Chen Fan threw a punch, and several High-level Fierce Beasts before him exploded, turning into a bloody rain in the sky.
But the surrounding Fierce Beasts, smelling the intense scent of blood, charged at him even more fearlessly.
However, within a ten-meter radius of Chen Fan’s body, there seemed to be an invisible barrier, preventing any Fierce Beast from entering.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of explosions erupted, and dozens of Fierce Beasts around him exploded simultaneously.
Hundreds of Fierce Beasts behind were flung away like ragdolls, crashing into the beast horde.
In a radius of a thousand meters, everything was flattened.
"This feeling is indeed exhilarating."
Chen Fan looked at his fist, a faint smile on his lips.
Archery can kill enemies from a thousand meters away, but the rush of punching Fierce Beasts to death is vastly more satisfying.
Moreover, without the limitation of arrows, the efficiency of gaining experience points is much higher.
Of course, for over a hundred Elite-level Fierce Beasts, to obtain their materials, he still chose to use his bow and arrow.
"I feel that in another two or three hours, I can clear out all the Mid to High-level Fierce Beasts here."
Chen Fan’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
With so many experience points, it should be enough to cultivate the "Sun Observation Technique," "Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill," and "Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill" to Perfection Realm, right?
