“There’s something wrong with this throwing dagger!”

A voice suddenly sounded.

A boy with messy hair ran to the tree and stared at the iron throwing dagger that had nailed down the snake’s head. He shouted in surprise, “Come over and take a look. The force behind this throwing dagger is very special. It’s like a bullet hitting an object, the cracks are irregularly spread…”

“Enough.”

Xu Nianxiang cut him off sternly in a low voice. “Student, it’s dangerous there. Move away quickly.”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” The boy waved his hand and shouted, “This venomous snake is already dead. What’s important now is the throwing dagger. It… Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don’t pull me, let me go!”

The boy struggled but could not do anything to the two guards who dragged him away.

“I’m sorry, please excuse him.”

On the other side, Lin Xiurun smiled awkwardly and said, “This child, he’s become silly from studying.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Fan Chungang raised his hand and said understandingly, “Earnest people deserve respect. Don’t you agree, Brother Yang?”

He turned to look at Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing ignored him and bid farewell to Lin Xiurun and Xu Nianxiang.

“Professor Lin, Team Leader Xu, I still have something on. I shall not intrude further.”

“Hey, wait up.” Lin Xiurun stopped him and quickly said, “Brother Yang, you haven’t left your contact details.”

“No need.” Su Jingxing waved his hand and strode away.

Saving Wang Hanpeng was a casual act, and he had never thought of repayment.

He only used an ordinary throwing dagger.

Su Jingxing did not expect that his casual move would attract Fan Chungang’s attention.

It seems that this fellow has seen Chen Xiaodao use the Colossal Divine Dagger before?

He was sarcastic and found faults from the beginning. It was impossible for Su Jingxing not to think deeper into it.

After all, Su Jingxing had never seen Fan Chungang before today.

It was even more impossible for Fan Chungang to know ‘Yang Jian’.

In the end, at their first meeting, Fan Chungang had revealed a provocative intent, clearly targeting him.

This could only be directed at throwing daggers, nothing else.

So, there is a high chance that Fan Chungang knows Chen Xiaodao?

Su Jingxing pondered as he walked.

…

On the slope.

After Su Jingxing left, Lin Xiurun did not stay here any longer. He called for everyone to head to the next location.

After Wang Hanpeng’s accident, Xu Nianxiang became even more guarded.

Lin Xiurun also reminded everyone to pay attention to their surroundings.

The guards patrolled back and forth amongst the crowd.

Fan Chungang’s security team was in charge of movements at the front, back and periphery, just in case.

The team of more than 30 people formed a long line on the mountain path.

Xu Nianxiang was at the very front, in charge of leading the way, occasionally peering through binoculars.

All of a sudden, a guard walked up to Xu Nianxiang and whispered, “Team Leader, Fan Chungang is missing.”

“Hmm?” Xu Nianxiang raised an eyebrow. “How so?”

“Six saw him leave the group and enter the forest. He disappeared in the direction that Brother Yang left in,” the guard replied softly.

“Ha.” Xu Nianxiang scoffed. “I knew he wouldn’t be able to hold back.”

“Team Leader, we…”

“Ignore him,” Xu Nianxiang said coolly. “What Fan Chungang wants has nothing to do with us.”

“But…”

“Brother Yang won’t be killed so easily.” Xu Nianxiang smiled. “Think about it? If he didn’t have the capabilities, would he have dared to enter Green Cloud Mountain alone?”

“That’s right.” The guard was first enlightened, but a thought quickly struck him and he said in a low voice, “The problem is Fan Chungang. He’s a seventh-grade martial artist. Can Brother Yang handle him?”

“I don’t know.” Xu Nianxiang wore a calm expression.

“Huh?” The guard was dumbfounded.

“I really don’t know.” Xu Nianxiang raised an eyebrow. “I’ve never seen Brother Yang in action before. I don’t know what realm he’s in, but his throwing dagger skill is enough for him to retreat easily even if he’s no match for a seventh-rank martial artist!”

Fan Chungang could tell that Su Jingxing’s throwing dagger was extraordinary, so how could Xu Nianxiang not?

Even though he did not know that it was the Colossal Divine Dagger.

He only managed to catch the last step of the entire process from the moment Su Jingxing acted to when he hit his target, yet he could tell that Su Jingxing’s skill in throwing daggers was extremely profound.

This sort of throwing dagger skill, even the most ordinary dart-throwing technique, was enough to threaten a seventh-grade martial artist!

Su Jingxing was so young, yet he already had such attainments in hidden weapons. How could he be as simple as he appeared on the surface?

If Fan Chungang wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would probably suffer!

…

The forest was dense and the mountain path was steep.

The man-made mountain path was barely visible against the weeds and shrubs that grew day and night.

The danger lurking beneath the bushes and weeds hovered day and night.

But they didn’t affect Su Jingxing much.

With Advanced Hearing in use, Su Jingxing could hear all sounds within a hundred meters.

Even if an ant was crawling on the ground, Su Jingxing would know where it was.

He moved, scaring away all sorts of dangers in advance. It was as if he was on a vacation.

Until he heard a familiar heartbeat behind him!

“He really followed me here.”

Su Jingxing grinned and stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said calmly, “Since you’re here, come out. Hiding doesn’t seem like the style of a manager.”

“Ha!”

Fan Chungang stepped out from behind a tree and looked at Su Jingxing. He smiled and said, “Brother Yang, what sharp intuition. You discovered me so quickly.”

“May I know why Manager Fan is looking for me?” Su Jingxing was too lazy to argue with him and went straight to the point.

“Can’t I look for you for a chat for no reason?”

Fan Chungang grinned. “After all, you saved a student previously, which was considered to have helped me out. I chased after you to thank you.”

“Of course you can.”

Su Jingxing smiled. “As for your gratitude, I’ve accepted it. I’ll walk the rest of the way myself. Manager Fan, you can go back now.”

“That won’t do.”

Fan Chungang shook his head. “Brother Yang, you are our savior. It is my duty to help you. By the way, I still do not know why Brother Yang is in the mountains. Do tell me. With me, we should be able to complete it faster.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Manager Fan, but there’s no need.”

Su Jingxing said calmly, “I take care of my own matters. On the other hand, Manager Fan, you’re here for a task. You’d better go back and escort Professor Lin and the rest.”

With that, he turned around and left quickly.

“Wait.”

Fan Chungang continued to chase after him. “My colleagues are doing that. As for me, it won’t be too late to return after I send you to your destination.”

As he spoke, he increased his speed.

Su Jingxing ignored him and sped up while remaining vigilant.

Fan Chungang sped up as well.

Su Jingxing turned the corner, and Fan Chungang followed.

Su Jingxing went down the mountain, and Fan Chungang followed.

In short, no matter where Su Jingxing went, Fan Chungang was determined to follow him.

At first, Su Jingxing was annoyed, but soon, Fan Chungang became the one who was annoyed.

He realized that he could not catch up!

This made Fan Chungang extremely angry. He finally shed all pretense and attacked.

Swoosh!
