Xia He and Gao Er Zhuang also gaped at Zhang Chulan's various outrageous actions. Only Chen Duo seemed unconcerned about Zhang Chulan. She had previously contacted Liao Zhong, the head of the South China Region, the man who rescued her from the Medicine Immortal Association and was like a father to her in daily life. When Liao Zhong learned that Chen Duo had finally escaped the curse of the Gu-body Saint Child, he had considered bringing Chen Duo back to the South China Everywhere Connect company.
But Chen Duo refused without hesitation. With Lan Luo's help, Chen Duo was much better than in the original story, but her personality couldn't change overnight. It was already a rare feat for her to consider Lan Luo and the others as friends.
Xia He covered her mouth: "How can there be such a shameless person?"
Gao Er Zhuang also expressed some dissatisfaction: "At first, I thought he would appear as a peerless master and crush them, but I didn't expect Zhang Chulan to be this kind of person. He's really disgracing Longhu Mountain. And he wants to make a move only when others are sitting down to cultivate? He's too weak."
Lan Luo's expression showed no surprise: "This is just the beginning. That kid is still hiding his strength. What do you think was the reason he did that just now? Don't underestimate anyone."
Gao Er Zhuang's mind worked the fastest: "You mean he did it on purpose? His goal in doing so is also to make others underestimate him, thereby becoming careless and allowing him to gain the next advantage?"
"Yes, don't underestimate Qi Body Source. This kid had been hiding his identity and hadn't cultivated before, only starting to cultivate in the last few months. His talent is excellent, and his mind is deep. People like you and Chen Duo would be eaten until not even bones were left." Lan Luo actually thought highly of Zhang Chulan, but sometimes he overacted. If you pretend to be a grandson for too long, you really become one. It doesn't deter other Bizarre People. Having the strength to deal with a group of them can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, can't it?
Hearing this, Gao Er Zhuang was a bit unconvinced: "How am I as bad as you think?"
Lan Luo looked at her with a hint of pity and said, "Isn't Old Zhang, your father's trusted aide, a Ninja spy planted in Everywhere Connect? And he's still your dad's confidant?"
Hearing this, Er Zhuang's eyes widened: "Impossible, how could Uncle Zhang be a Ninja spy planted by the Japanese next to my dad."
Actually, she already believed it in her heart, because with Lan Luo's strength, there was no need to lie to a little girl like her. She said that only to get more information.
Lan Luo shrugged and said indifferently, "Put away your little tricks. I just mentioned it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, it's none of my business. And even if you tell your father, will he believe you, or will he believe me, a scoundrel who half-forced you?"
Hearing Lan Luo's words, Er Zhuang couldn't help but blush. After all, Lan Luo was right. With her understanding of her dad, even if she said it now, it would only plant a seed.
Finally, Xia He stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Lan Luo's arm, pressing her full chest against him: "Husband, please help Er Zhuang. She's also had a tough time. After all, fathers who dote on their daughters like hers are rare."
Her parents abandoned her, and it was impossible not to resent them. But when she learned from Gao Er Zhuang that she had such a father, she felt a certain amount of envy in her heart. Although she had never met Gao Lian, she didn't want anything to happen to Gao Lian.
Lan Luo rolled his eyes at them and said, "When did you two become so close? You should know that a large group of powerful Ninja are still lurking in the Northeast Region. Their goal is the demonic sword 'Hirumaru' from decades ago. If you want to catch them all, you can use Old Zhang as bait. If handled well, you can clear out all the Ninja in the Northeast Region. You know we have the ability of memory fruits, so we're not afraid of them not talking, only of not catching them."
Gao Er Zhuang was also curious at this point: "What is 'Hirumaru'? Is it a very strong sword?"
"Nikaido Eita, a member of the 'Hieizan' Bizarre Person group that invaded China, the host of the demonic sword 'Hirumaru,' the peerless sword, called 'Demon Man' by later generations, who caused countless bloody feuds during his rampage on the mainland.
He came to the mainland with Hieizan and cut off countless heads to satisfy the demonic sword's desire for slaughter, including killing the then eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Ci's brother, in an ambush launched by the four families of Longhu, Shangqing, and Putuo. Finally, at the end of the Ten-Man Battle of the Through-Heaven Cave, while poisoned and severely wounded, and relentlessly pursued, he fell into a cave where ordinary hunters were hiding from danger, and was killed by the hunter's daughter, Xiuju, who struck him directly in the skull with a firewood knife. With your current strength, if you want to look for it, bringing Chen Duo might make it very easy to find." Lan Luo also offered a suggestion.
Xia He was also very interested in that sword. It wasn't about how powerful the sword was, but the symbolic meaning. And she wouldn't refuse to do something for Huaxia. She wasn't born yet, otherwise, she would have definitely fought the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War: "Chen Duo, do you want to come with us? I plan to go with Er Zhuang to help Er Zhuang's father solve the trouble there."
Chen Duo thought for a moment when she heard this and said, "I can go with you, but I also want to see 'Hirumaru' when we get it." She heard Lan Luo's story and wanted to experience it for herself.
Gao Er Zhuang was very touched when she heard this and immediately went forward to hug Xia He, whining, "Sister Xia He, you're the best, unlike some cold-blooded guys. When he was treating me, he could have told my dad directly, but he just wouldn't say, making us have to make a special trip."
Lan Luo rolled his eyes at them: "Even if I had told him then, would your father have believed a stranger like me? Even you were forced to agree only when there was no other way. If I had also mentioned that his confidant was a Japanese, with your dad's temper, not kicking me out would have been considered good-tempered."
Hearing Lan Luo's explanation, Er Zhuang still believed him. After all, the situation at the time really didn't allow it: "Alright, alright, we'll go solve it then." She was quite happy to separate Lan Luo and Xia He in her heart, although she didn't know why she was doing it, she just couldn't help it.
Chen Duo was a bit bored and wanted to accompany Xia He and Gao Er Zhuang for a walk.
"Daji will stay with you. You all have the Phoenix Force that I bestowed upon you. Don't let any Japanese escape. Eliminate all foreign Bizarre People involved in the Northeast Region." Lan Luo had no good feelings for those people either, after all, the past bloodbath could only be washed away with blood.
"Do I need to inform my dad?" Gao Er Zhuang wanted to remind her father.
"If I were you, I would go directly to your dad's company, control Old Zhang, extract everything from his head, and then transmit the news of 'Hirumaru' to the Ninja. Let them gather slowly while you search for 'Hirumaru.' When you find 'Hirumaru,' that's when they'll act. At that time, you can not only catch them all but also pull out the radish with the mud, completely purging the Northeast Region. Your father can also gain great merit and atone for his past."
