"A large instant teleportation item?"
Everyone’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Typical instant teleportation items can only transport one person and have a limited distance.
A large instant teleportation item surpasses the former in both number of transported people and distance.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. Compared to small instant teleportation items, which can be used multiple times, large instant teleportation items can only be used once and are very expensive.
"Captain, if that’s the case, then we might as well stay and watch." The red-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, Captain, why didn’t you tell us earlier? We were starting to think you had lost your mind."
"Let’s see if the situation turns out as Chairman Li said. Honestly, I hope a miracle happens."
"Yes, although the chances are slim."
"You all..."
Qin Jin was exasperated.
It seemed that all he had said earlier had little effect.
The team members, except for him, almost didn’t believe him.
After leaving the Awakened Association, Chen Fan came to a house and raised his hand, knocking twice on the door.
Today was the agreed day for him to return the Longevity Technique to Wang Lingling.
However, she seemed to have forgotten about it; she didn’t send a message or call him.
But he was a man of integrity, and since he said he would do it, he had to fulfill his promise. Besides, he had already learned the Longevity Technique, so keeping it meant nothing to him.
"Who is it?"
A wary female voice sounded inside.
"It’s me."
Chen Fan replied.
"Chairman Li!"
Wang Lingling’s voice was filled with surprise and happiness. She immediately got up from the bed and hurried toward the door.
Actually, she was the most anxious today.
According to the agreement, today was the day Chen Fan would return the Longevity Technique to her. Moreover, from morning till noon, and from noon till night, there was no sign from Chen Fan.
She had considered going to the Awakened Association to find him.
But recalling his cold expression made her shiver, and she dared not go.
After all, his strength was overwhelming; the Qin Family’s pursuers were no match for him. If she went there and displeased him, he might even kill her.
If that happened, no one would know where the Qin Family’s Longevity Technique had gone.
So, although she was very anxious, she dared not act and could only inwardly pray that he was just too busy and merely forgot. Hopefully, he would remember a day or two later and return the Longevity Technique to her.
As it turned out, her prayers seemed to have worked. Finally, he had arrived.
"Click!"
The door lock opened, and Wang Lingling enthusiastically smiled at Chen Fan, "Chairman Li, you’re here. You must be tired. Come in quickly, I’ll make some tea for you."
Chen Fan glanced at her; it was deep into the night, and she was wearing something thin, revealing her enchanting curves.
Wang Lingling noticed Chen Fan’s gaze and blushed.
She had been so happy that she forgot to put on more clothes.
Chen Fan shook his head, "I’ve come to return this to you."
He pulled out a rolled-up sheepskin scroll.
"The Lon..."
Wang Lingling widened her eyes and covered her mouth.
The Longevity Technique she dreamed of was finally about to return to her hands.
But as she reached out, her hand stopped midway.
"Chairman Li, wouldn’t you like to read it a bit more? The contents are complex; a few more days wouldn’t hurt."
She had been worried Chen Fan wouldn’t return it, making her restless.
Now seeing Chen Fan voluntarily return it relieved her slightly, allowing an extension for him to study might be beneficial. If he discovered something, he might mention it due to her goodwill.
"No need."
Chen Fan stuffed the sheepskin scroll into her hand, "You can take your time reading it. By the way, Anshan City won’t be peaceful tonight. Outside the city, millions of Fierce Beasts are gathering and will probably attack the city within a few hours."
"Mil... millions of Fierce Beasts?"
Wang Lingling’s voice grew loudly.
Then realizing it, she quickly covered her mouth, "Chairman Li, did you just say..."
"It’s true."
Chen Fan anticipated her question, "Your Body Technique can still get you out in time. If you decide to stay, well, I don’t mind. You should check out the sheepskin scroll first; I’ll leave afterward."
Wang Lingling felt embarrassed.
"Chairman Li, how could I not trust you? But since you said so, I’ll take a quick look."
She opened the scroll, skimmed through it, and felt dizzy again, confirming its authenticity before closing it.
"Chairman Li, thank you for last time. Without you, I might have been captured by the Qin Family."
She hesitated while expressing her gratitude.
Honestly, exchanging three days of viewing for a chance to survive was indeed beneficial for her.
And this proved that Chen Fan was a trustworthy person, not someone who would take her things under false pretenses.
"Hmm."
Chen Fan responded and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Wang Lingling’s urgent voice came from behind.
"What’s up?"
Chen Fan turned back, puzzled.
"You mentioned millions of Fierce Beasts would attack tonight, suggesting I should leave early. What about you?"
She asked.
Having the Longevity Technique was indeed good.
But the Qin Family might have already gotten news of their members’ incident.
With the Beast Tide erupting, they might hesitate to act rashly, but they could still send people to retrieve the Longevity Technique and their members.
She had great Lightweight Skill but was otherwise ordinary. And with the Qin Family being one of the prominent Noble Families in Yan Country, their power was beyond what she could handle.
If found again without Chen Fan nearby, death was inevitable.
"Me?"
Chen Fan looked at her oddly, "What do you think?"
"I think you might stay, but..."
She hesitated.
She admitted his strength was formidable.
But Fierce Beasts were no joke. Millions attacking the city were unimaginable. Staying sounded like seeking death.
"If you’re worried about the Longevity Technique being discovered by the Qin Family, you can hide it outside the city, check it during cultivation and then hide it again. Even if the Qin Family comes, they won’t know your whereabouts."
Chen Fan finished and vanished instantly.
"Ah!"
Wang Lingling wanted to say more but found he had disappeared.
"So quick."
She muttered, holding the sheepskin scroll, realizing she wasn’t as happy as imagined.
Indeed, the Longevity Technique was like a hot potato.
Even if stored in space items, it wouldn’t prevent the Qin Family from finding out. Leaving Anshan City for big cities was like throwing herself to the wolves.
Chen Fan’s advice to bury it seemed plausible, but human eyes could expose it, causing danger.
Unless she hid it without opening it ever again, but then why steal the technique at all?
"Damn Beast Tide, why now? Should I stay or leave?"
She was distressed.
