Chapter 334 – First, eliminate a correct answer

Zhong Lingxiu initially watched Meng Fan "paint" with True Essence with a casual expression.

But as Meng Fan's drawing became clearer, her face suddenly changed, and her brows furrowed instinctively.

However, this was only for a moment. She quickly adjusted her emotions and didn't show any further abnormality.

Meng Fan, who was focused on "painting," didn't notice Zhong Lingxiu's fleeting change in expression.

"Sister Zhong, this is my Junior Sister's appearance. Have you seen her?" Meng Fan asked after finishing the drawing, looking up at Zhong Lingxiu.

Zhong Lingxiu shook her head and said, "I haven't seen her, but I will help you investigate. If she has been to the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range, I will definitely help you find out."

Meng Fan nodded and gratefully said, "Thank you very much, Sister Zhong."

Zhong Lingxiu smiled and said, "We are all righteous path cultivators; helping each other is natural. Perhaps in the future, I might need your help, Junior Brother Meng."

"That is my duty!" Meng Fan said earnestly.

Afterward, Zhong Lingxiu chatted with Meng Fan for a few more moments before leaving the inn.

The content of their conversation was mostly about advising Meng Fan not to use his cultivation here, as the surroundings were filled with mortals.

Meng Fan naturally understood this.

After Zhong Lingxiu left, the old monk's voice echoed in Meng Fan's mind.

"Meng Benefactor, this young lady did not tell the truth just now. When you were drawing Li Xuerou's portrait, her expression wavered for a moment. She must have seen Li Xuerou!"

"I know." Meng Fan's face remained calm.

This response surprised the old monk a bit. He was sure that Meng Fan hadn't seen Zhong Lingxiu's change in expression.

"This Sister Zhong was quite curious about me earlier and wanted to investigate me without any intention of leaving. But as soon as I finished drawing Li Xuerou's portrait, her attitude changed noticeably, as if she was eager to leave. Although she chatted with me for a few more moments before leaving, it was too deliberate, definitely suspicious! So I was guessing that she must have seen Li Xuerou. Your observation of her expression confirms my suspicion."

Meng Fan frowned as he looked in the direction Zhong Lingxiu had left.

What is Li Xuerou up to?

Before coming to the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range, Meng Fan had speculated about Li Xuerou's location, but the first place he ruled out was the Hundred Flowers Sect.

He believed it was impossible for Li Xuerou to be in the Hundred Flowers Sect!

But now, it seemed that the first place he ruled out was the correct answer.

From Zhong Lingxiu's reaction and behavior, Li Xuerou was most likely in the Hundred Flowers Sect. Moreover, it seemed she had offended the sect and was captured.

Otherwise, Zhong Lingxiu wouldn't need to hide it and could have told him directly.

"Why would that girl offend the Hundred Flowers Sect? And how could she have the ability to offend them?" Meng Fan muttered to himself, completely puzzled.

To be honest, with Li Xuerou's weak cultivation, if she really offended the Hundred Flowers Sect, they could crush her with a single finger.

But from Zhong Lingxiu's reaction, things were definitely not that simple.

"Old monk, do you know anything about the Hundred Flowers Sect?" Meng Fan asked the old monk in his mind, feeling a bit helpless.

Nowadays, the old monk, for the sake of spirit stones and the Hidden Dragon Jade, was very forthcoming with Meng Fan.

"When I was alive, the Hundred Flowers Sect was at its peak, one of the top clans in the Northern Region. In terms of power and strength, it was much stronger than the Vajra Temple back then. However, judging by the current situation, it seems to have declined. But even so, it's not a sect that a Condensation Pill Realm cultivator like you can afford to offend!"

Meng Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. What was the point of saying that?

Why don't you just say one plus one equals two?

"Can you tell me something I don't know?" Meng Fan said irritably.

The old monk felt a bit embarrassed and helpless.

"Meng Benefactor, I've been 'trapped' in the relic for so many years, completely out of touch with the outside world. When it comes to recent events, I might know even less than you. You're asking the wrong person."

Meng Fan ignored the old monk and began to carefully consider his next move.

Charging into the Hundred Flowers Sect head-on was definitely not an option; it would be a dead end!

Trying to sneak into the Hundred Flowers Sect was also impossible.

The entire Hundred Flowers Sect was composed of women, even the servants and maids. Meng Fan even suspected that the chickens and ducks they raised were all female.

As a man, there was no way he could sneak in.

Disguising as a woman?

What a joke!

Although Meng Fan's face might qualify him for cross-dressing, people aren't fools.

The story of "how can one distinguish my gender" only happens in novels.

"Meng Benefactor, I think you should consider a different approach." Meng Fan ignored the old monk, but the old monk took the initiative to speak again.

Ever since he set his sights on Meng Fan's Hidden Dragon Jade, the old monk had been speaking up more frequently.

He was trying to impress Meng Fan and find a chance to get the Hidden Dragon Jade.

"What approach?" Meng Fan asked.

"Since going to the Hundred Flowers Sect is unrealistic, why don't we stop looking for Li Xuerou for now and instead find Elder Lin? If we find Elder Lin, with his strength and the status of the Sword Elder of Shu Mountain, it wouldn't be impossible to openly demand Li Xuerou from the Hundred Flowers Sect!" The old monk promptly shared his idea.

Meng Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes again; this time, he really couldn't hold it back!

He used to think the old monk was quite reliable, but now it seemed the old fellow was useless.

At the slightest problem, he wanted to retreat. Really...

Useless!

He thought the Fengyun Demon Sect was difficult to deal with, so he suggested looking for Li Xuerou from a different angle.

Now he thought the Hundred Flowers Sect was difficult, so he suggested going to find Elder Lin?

If they left the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range now and went to the Fengyun Demon Sect, would they come back again if they found it difficult?

Bumper cars?

Bouncing back and forth!

"Shut up." Meng Fan said irritably to the old monk.

He definitely wouldn't accept the old monk's ridiculous suggestion.

Given the current situation, it was clear that Li Xuerou was in more danger.

Meng Fan believed that with Elder Lin's strength, he wouldn't be in any real danger. After all, Elder Lin's cultivation and combat power were formidable, allowing him to walk unchallenged in the Fengyun Demon Sect.

In fact, he believed that Elder Lin wouldn't be in any trouble at all, just temporarily held up by something.

But Li Xuerou was different. Meng Fan now suspected that Li Xuerou had been captured by the Hundred Flowers Sect, which made the situation quite serious.

After all, Li Xuerou didn't have Elder Lin's strength. That girl was genuinely in danger!
