Chapter 475: Chapter 456: This Will Not Set a Precedent
After hanging up the phone, Shi Tao frowned deeply.
This matter, not only for him, even if Elder Wang were here, he would have frowned too.
But since the matter has already happened, there’s no use overthinking it.
If one day the people from the Revival Association or the Song Family come to demand someone, Shi Tao would not back down an inch.
"I thought breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm would alleviate some pressure, but it seems that being at the early stage of the Celestial Human Realm is still not enough."
Shi Tao sighed.
Determination shone in his eyes.
In the past, he had stayed at the headquarters, preparing to break through to the Celestial Human Realm.
Now that he had broken through, he was confident to visit a few places Elder Wang mentioned. Perhaps, he might encounter a fortuitous event.
As long as he reaches the late stage of the Celestial Human Realm, he would not fear the three S-Class Awakened, and would similarly not be afraid of the Song Family or the Revival Association.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything being exposed.
The next moment, his gaze turned to the wall.
He shook his head slightly and walked over.
Outside the house, there was no one. Obviously, Ling Yu, who had been eavesdropping earlier, had long left.
Shi Tao came to the quiet room; the latter was sitting on a meditation cushion, cultivating. Upon hearing movement, his face immediately showed a smile, "Master, you’re here?"
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
Even Shi Tao had an illusion, as if he had wrongly accused the other party, as if the other had not eavesdropped outside.
"Hmm."
He nodded and still spoke, "Just now, were you eavesdropping outside?"
Ling Yu scratched his head awkwardly, looking at the ground, "Yes, I eavesdropped for a while. I’m sorry, Master. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just, I just couldn’t suppress my curiosity. Actually, actually, I didn’t hear anything."
Shi Tao stared at him intently.
He naturally knew that the other hadn’t heard anything.
Except for the initial name.
Seeing no displeasure on Shi Tao’s face, Ling Yu thick-skinnedly asked, "Master, what did Uncle Shen say to you that I can’t know?"
"Nothing much."
Shi Tao withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Just a trivial matter. However, I don’t want to see you eavesdropping outside again."
"I won’t, I won’t."
Ling Yu shook his head repeatedly.
He didn’t have the guts to say there would be a next time, but deeply doubted Shi Tao’s reply.
A trivial matter?
If it really were trivial, why didn’t Shen Si let him listen?
Moreover, the matter involved that guy with the surname Chen; it didn’t seem trivial at all.
"I’ll have someone go and find out what happened outside later."
Ling Yu thought to himself, but his face remained innocent.
"Xiaoyu, he shouldn’t have noticed anything, right?"
Shi Tao frowned slightly.
To prevent the other from overthinking, he briefly mentioned it; otherwise, it would seem too conspicuous.
But undoubtedly, Ling Yu must know that the previous matter was related to Chen Fan.
"Perhaps, I’m overthinking."
Shi Tao shook his head secretly.
Xiaoyu was his disciple and a member of the association. Even if he didn’t know the details, even if he did, he wouldn’t leak it.
Because by considering it a bit, one could figure out what it would mean for the association.
He wasn’t the type to disregard the bigger picture for personal reasons.
...
In the depths of the rainforest.
Chen Fan sensed more than ten presences ahead and slowed his pace.
From Song Gang, he learned that all these people were here for the Cyan Dragon Fruit.
This fruit was worth millions of points and could greatly enhance the user’s physical attributes.
In other words, it could significantly extend life, drawing much attention.
"If I just walked out, it would easily alert them, and it would be hard to succeed."
Chen Fan stopped, touched his chin thoughtfully.
Moreover, the Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique couldn’t be used.
Using it would easily expose his true identity, and the matter of killing the Song Family members could also be leaked.
So, in that case...
Chen Fan removed his mask and his bow and arrows, storing them in his space items.
Then, a cracking series of sounds emerged.
When the sounds ceased, Chen Fan had transformed into a man over six feet tall with a pale face and narrow eyes, giving off a chilly aura.
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction, looking ahead.
There was a Beast King-level Fierce Beast guarding the maturing Cyan Dragon Fruit.
Around it were several Commander-level Fierce Beasts and countless elite and high-level Fierce Beasts.
He could rely on his Vajra Indestructible Body to break in and fight his way out. Even if he faced that Beast King-level Fierce Beast, he shouldn’t be in life-threatening danger during the transformation.
However, without using archery, it would be nearly impossible to kill that Beast King-level Fierce Beast in a short time.
This would give others a chance. Those people would be happy to have someone else attract the attention of the Beast King-level Fierce Beast while they seize the Cyan Dragon Fruit and escape.
"Now that they are in the open and I am in the dark, why not let them attract these Fierce Beasts’ attention while I take the opportunity to snatch the fruit."
Chen Fan quietly moved in another direction.
