Cultivation Pet Shop

161 Chapter 161

After a slight pause, Angela immediately turned around and was prepared to charge out the door, but Lin Fan quickly grabbed her hand to stop her.

She turned back to him with a slightly annoyed look, but Lin Fan still said, "Calm down, we can't accomplish anything by just running all over the shop. We need to come up with a plan first."

Now that they had known each other for some time and they were slowly taking their relationship further, Angela trusted Lin Fan much more.

While she was someone who would rather charge forward, she calmed down after hearing Lin Fan's words and realized that he was right.

But she couldn't help saying in a voice filled with a bit of worry, "What are we supposed to do then?"

Lin Fan immediately asked, "When was the last time you saw her? We need to trace back our steps and see if there are any clues at all before running all over looking for her. Also, we need to hurry because the longer it takes, the more likely it is that something bad might happen to her."

Angela quickly went through her memories, but it had all been a blur to her since they had gone all over. But she knew that this wasn't the time to give up, so she knit her brows and used all her brain power as she combed her memories.

Finally she came to the specific memory as she said, "We were coming back to the room when she suddenly ran off saying that she wanted to race me back to the room. She ran off so quickly that she just disappeared. When I came back to the room, I didn't see her, so I thought she went off somewhere with you."

Lin Fan knit his brows as he muttered to himself, "I was in the room the entire time taking a shower, but that only took me around fifteen minutes. So the maximum span of time that she's been missing is a total of twenty minutes since it should have taken you and her no more than five minutes to come back to the room."

Then Lin Fan turned back and asked, "Where were the two of you when she suddenly ran off, we should head there and see if we can find any clues."

Angela knit her brows to think before suddenly saying, "The arcade!"

As soon as she said this, she bolted out of the room and dashed down the hall, pushing aside anyone who was in her way.

Lin Fan didn't falter at all as he quickly followed behind her.

To be honest, he was feeling plenty of worry under that calm surface, but he forced himself to remain calm since he knew that would be the only way to find her.

In a family, the father was the one who seemed the most calm, but he worried more than anyone when it came to his precious little daughter. He was even more worried than Angela in her frenzied state.

The two of them quickly made their way to the area outside the arcade and both of them immediately spread their spiritual sense, quickly picking up leftover traces of Song Shu's aura.

Over the past month Song Shu had not only been picking up alchemy tricks from Lin Fan, she had also been using the store of elixirs and learning from the cultivation technique that her Handsome Grandpa had given her. Through her hard work and determination, she had already become a Junior Alchemist and was in the peak of the Bronze Realm.

That was the only reason why they could still feel traces of her aura even though some time had already passed.

They followed those traces until they came to a certain corridor with a dead end that led to a storage closet where those traces completely disappeared.

They quickly searched around the area until they found a piece of string and a few scattered beads on the ground.

Angela immediately kneeled down to pick them up with a trembling hand when she saw them.

Her hand wasn't trembling out of fear, rather it was trembling in rage.

The fact that this bracelet had been broken and was scattered on the ground like this clearly meant that there was a struggle. If there was a struggle, there was a chance that Song Shu had been hurt.

Thinking this, Angela's hand couldn't help moving to the bracelet with the same kind of beads on her own left hand.

These bead bracelets had been a pair the two of them had bought at a night market they had visited together.

It had been the day when Song Shu had broken through to the Bronze Realm and she had asked for a trip to the night market together with Lin Fan and Angela, which they agreed to. Of course as the man, Lin Fan had been forced to pay for everything, but he was happy to do so.

As they were walking along, this pair of bracelets had caught the eye of Song Shu and she asked Lin Fan to buy it for her.

Lin Fan had tried haggling with the vendor, but the vendor had stuck to his price since he knew that Lin Fan would be willing to pay with these two beauties by his side.

So in the end, Lin Fan had been cheated out of his money, but he was happy to pay when he saw the smile on the faces of these two girls as Song Shu offered one of the bracelets to Angela while taking one for herself.

Of course, the people around had cursed Lin Fan for his display of being a normie, but he didn't care at all since he knew that he wanted to protect the two of them as soon as he saw this scene.

Perhaps those curses did eventually stack up which caused this incident or perhaps it was all just bad luck…

Lin Fan quickly grabbed Angela by the shoulder and forced her to calm down when he saw that she was about to go on a rampage, tearing the entire ship apart if she couldn't find Song Shu.

If he had let her go on a rampage, this ship definitely wouldn't have been able to take it and they would have all been sent flying to the ground.

While it was fine for Lin Fan and Angela since they could fly, Lin Fan with his wind laws and Xiao Huo's wings and Angela with the power of Legendary Realm Laws, that didn't mean everyone else could fly. Or even worse, Song Shu might be caught up in the rampage…

Lin Fan tried to think of a way to think of a way to find more clues, but he also knew that this was definitely a dead end and they couldn't avoid getting the help of others.

But it was a good thing that this airship was owned by the Zhu Family.

Before even getting on the ship, the captain had come over to acquaint himself with Lin Fan and had promised that if Lin Fan needed anything on this trip, he would do his best to fulfil that need.

While Lin Fan had a strange feeling of not wanting to rely on others for this, he knew that there was no other choice so he dragged Angela to the helm and met with the captain.

After Lin Fan explained the situation, the captain immediately said, "Young master Lin, we will immediately lock down the entire ship and search each cabin until we find young lady Song."

The captain was actually covered in cold sweat when he heard what had happened.

The family head of the Zhu Family, the Legendary Realm Expert Zhu Ba Jie had personally given him the order to ensure that every single one of Lin Fan's needs had to be taken care of perfectly. He had even said that if Lin Fan was even the slightest bit dissatisfied, he would suffer the consequences.

This was a job where he would suffer consequences just from the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, then how much would he suffer if he had managed to lose one of Lin Fan's companions?

The captain was about to give his orders, but Lin Fan quickly stopped him.

Lin Fan said, "Don't do that. If you do, you'll just alert the culprit that we're onto them and they'll hide even deeper on the ship, making it harder for us to find them."

But the captain was still worried, "What do we do then?"

Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before saying, "I want you to send men to start searching from the arcade area and spread out across the ship, searching in a net all over the ship. But you have to make sure that your men blend in and create no disturbances at all, do you understand?"

The captain quickly nodded and said, "Of course, of course." Then he headed off to send down Lin Fan's orders.

Lin Fan in the meantime had the person in charge of surveillance pull up all the tape of the area around the arcade during those twenty minutes.

As the cultivation of an expert grew, their mental power also increased with their cultivation. As such, Lin Fan and Angela could easily split their spiritual energy to survey all these videos at once.

They quickly sped through the videos and they found that there were a total of six people who had been in the area during that time.

The captain had returned from giving his orders and Lin Fan immediately said to him while pointing at frozen frames on all six of these people, "Gather these six for me immediately, they are the prime suspects!"
