Chapter 743 Rescue (1)
Chapter 743 Rescue (1)
The next day came as usual and everything seemed like it was going to be a normal day until a small dragon suddenly slammed into the window of Lin Fan's store.
It had created a large sound when it slammed into the window, so loud that even Lin Fan couldn't ignore it and headed out to see what it was.
The small dragon was built quite firmly, so even though it had slammed into Lin Fan's store, it had been able to get away with only minor injuries. If it had been a human, they would have had their bones shattered and their flesh ripped apart like last time with the City Lord's son.
After the small dragon came back from its daze and it saw Lin Fan coming over, it immediately grabbed something from its neck and presented it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this small dragon suddenly presenting him a letter, but he could recognize the aura that came from the letter.
It was the aura of Qing Ao, the True Soul Realm dragon from Kunlun Mountains that he had met before. The one that had been related to Hong Long.
But he was surprised to see Qing Ao suddenly sending him a letter…
Still, he could see that this small dragon was gathering a crowd, so without a single word, he picked it up and brought it into the store.
The crowd only felt that it was strange and a few people took a few pictures of the small dragon, but beyond that, they quickly dispersed since it really wasn't that strange. Things like this happen daily in a cultivation world like this.
After bringing the small dragon in, Lin Fan left the store to Mo Ze Chen and Lulu before heading to the back with the small dragon.
When he was in the back, he put the small dragon down and took the letter from it to read. At the same time, Angela and Momonga both peeked at the letter from over his shoulder.
The contents of the letter was very simple, but it was a very heavy letter.
To put it simply, this letter was one asking Lin Fan for help.
The gist of the letter was that some unknown people had attacked Qing Ao's domain, but they were repelled by him. However, they had also sent a group to sneak into his domain and they had kidnapped Qing Bao Lan.
He didn't have any subordinates that had tracking abilities and he remembered that Lin Fan had a pet that could control other beings like puppets that could be used for tracking, so he wanted to ask for Lin Fan's help in getting Qing Bao Lan back.
After he finished reading the letter, Lin Fan thought about it before calling Xiao Feng and Hong Long out.
Once Hong Long finished reading the letter, he immediately said, "We have to go and help him right away!"
But Lin Fan wasn't as enthusiastic.
While he did treat Qing Ao as an ally, he was also cautious since Qing Ao had been attacked by an unknown enemy. Lin Fan didn't want to rush into it and make another enemy at a critical time like this.
But on the other hand, if he didn't help Qing Ao at a time like this, it would mean losing his trust and him as a potential ally in the future.
When weighing it in the long term, it was better for him to have a True Soul Realm Expert like Qing Ao on his side, even if it meant having another enemy…
However, what really tipped the scale in the end was Xiao Feng.
When Xiao Feng learned about what happened to Qing Bao Lan, he looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Is Xiao Bao Lan in trouble? Can we go help her?"
Seeing the way Xiao Feng looked up at him with those big round eyes, Lin Fan couldn't bring himself to say no to him. Let alone with the pair of cold eyes that were glaring at him from the side.
Angela loved Xiao Feng just as much as Xiao Bai, she had even taken all of Lin Fan's pets as her adopted children.
Even if she didn't like Qing Bao Lan because of how she tried to seduce her little baby, seeing him stand out like this for the first time and wanting to rescue her, she was naturally on his side.
In this situation, the only person that could possibly be on Lin Fan's side was Momonga, but he wisely chose to stay out of this.
Seeing that he was beset on from all sides, Lin Fan had no choice but to raise his hands and say, "Alright, alright, we'll go and help."
Everyone was clearly happy with his decision, but Lin Fan felt like he had escaped death, especially with the way Angela was smiling at him.
But then Xiao Feng asked Lin Fan something that made him fall into deep thought again.
Xiao Feng asked, "When are we going to see Xiao Bao Lan? I want to go right now."
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, not because he was still on the fence about going to help, but rather because this did raise a thought provoking question.
Back on earth, it was said that when it came to kidnapping cases, the first forty eight hours were always the crucial period when it came to finding clues.
While this didn't exactly hold true in this cultivation world, it was still a good idea to find clues while they were still fresh. Not to mention that if it was still close to when the kidnapping happened, that would mean that the kidnappers wouldn't be far away from Qing Ao's place.
So Lin Fan turned to the small dragon who had been silently waiting on the side and asked a few questions.
After confirming that Qing Ao had sent this message as soon as he discovered that Qing Bao Lan was missing and that it hadn't taken the small dragon long to come to his store, he decided that it was still the best timing for them, so they should head out as soon as possible.
So after leaving some instructions to Mo Ze Chen and Lulu, Lin Fan immediately headed off with Angela and Yuki in tow. Momonga had been left behind to watch the store just in case anything happened.
After all, if these enemies attacked Qing Ao, they might also know the relationship between Qing Ao and Lin Fan, especially after Qing Ao sent that small dragon. Since that was the case, there was also the chance that they would attack Lin Fan's store.
While Lin Fan was certain that the defense system of the store could take care of anything that came, he still left Momonga there just in case.
It didn't take them long to get to the Kunlun Mountains since Lin Fan was now much faster now that he had broken through, not to mention that he was much better at controlling his spatial laws after the trial realm.
In less than an hour, they had already arrived at Qing Ao's palace.
Qing Ao had been anxiously pacing in the center of the hall when they were brought in and when he saw Lin Fan's group, his eyes immediately lit up and he ran over to grab Lin Fan by the shoulder as he said, "Brother Lin, you're finally here! Can you do it? Can you find my Xiao Lan Lan?"
But as he said this, he kept shaking Lin Fan by the shoulder, not even giving him a chance to speak.
Finally, Hong Long had to appear to grab Qing Ao to calm him down before Lin Fan had a chance to say anything.
Lin Fan didn't waste any time exchanging greetings since he knew that time was of the essence. So instead, he immediately asked, "Where did you see her last? Can you bring me there?"
Qing Ao calmed down when he heard this and after thinking about it, he said, "She should have been in her room where she was…" His voice drifted off as he looked at Xiao Feng, but then he gave a cough and said, "Yes, she should have been in her room."
Lin Fan ignored the strange tone that he had and said, "Can you take us to the room? I want to see if we can find any clues where the kidnappers went."
Qing Ao had a difficult look at first, but he still gave a nod in response.
He led them through the corridors of the palace, but as he came closer to Qing Bao Lan's room, he couldn't help slowing down. It was almost as if there was something there that he didn't want them to see.
However, Lin Fan said, "We need to hurry. The longer we stall, the further the kidnappers get."
Qing Ao hesitated for a second before giving a nod and moving faster again.
When they came to Qing Bao Lan's room and they opened the door, they were shocked to see what was inside.
The room was filled with pictures of Xiao Feng, both in dragon form and in human form. However, a lot of these pictures seemed to be of Xiao Feng after they had come back from the Kunlun Mountains…
Could it be that Qing Bao Lan had been…
Xiao Feng couldn't help looking around and saying, "Wow, there's a lot of me in here."
Lin Fan gave a cough before calling out Brainy and her puppets as this wasn't the time to discuss this.
After a while, Brainy said, "I found a trail."
