h4Chapter 700: Chapter 705: Reunion with Su He (2)/h4

    The next day.

    Ling Chen woke up from the bed, and not long after having breakfast, he received a call from Hu Fei, Lin Jiawei had been released.

    Ling Chen had already made his decisionst night, so he was not surprised. Although Hu Fei said that someone had been secretly sent to follow him, Ling Chen did not hold much hope.

    "Right! Ling Chen, when Lin Jiawei left, he left a phone number, he asked me to pass it on to you. Remember to contact him using that number after you get the Nine Elements Pill."

    "Got it." Saying this, Ling Chen changed the topic, instructing, "Help me tell my big brother to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion first, I will make haste to meet up with them."

    "You are not going with them?"

    "No, I still have an important matter to handle, I’ll head there afterward."

    After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen and Zhong Wei escorted Nanrong Wanqing to the Hongyu Group headquarters. After saying goodbye to Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen drove to the airport alone. By then, Hongyu Group’s private jet was already arranged and waiting for Ling Chen to board.

    After an hour-long flight, the ne safelynded at Jinhai City Airport.

    Leaving the airport, Ling Chen rented a car nearby and spent approximately two hours on the road before finally arriving at Su He’s secluded residence.

    Looking at the dpidated wooden cabin, Ling Chen quickly walked to the door, knocked, but no one responded inside.

    Pushing open the door, unsurprisingly, the cabin was empty. At this time, Su He probably went out to sea fishing.

    Living here, with wilderness all around and not even a power line, let alone electronics and mobile phones, Ling Chen had no way to contact anyone else. No other choice, Ling Chen sat outside the house, gazing at the rolling waves, patiently waiting for Su He’s return.

    By dusk, after waiting for several hours, Ling Chen finally saw a fishing boat approaching from the sea.

    When Su He’s gaunt face came into view, Ling Chen quickly stood up and waved to him.

    "Elder Su."

    As the fishing boat reached the shore, Ling Chen smiled and went up to help Su He with his fish basket and fishing, and also helped drag the boat ashore.

    Su He, unceremoniously, drank water and sat aside to rest.

    Only after Ling Chen finished the chores did Su He speak, "What brings you here this time? I remember I made it very clearst time that I would not leave my seclusion unless it’s something special. If you want me to help you, I advise you to dismiss that thought."

    Ling Chen hurriedly replied, "Elder Su, you misunderstand, I indeed came to ask for your help, but I’m not asking you toe out of retirement."

    Hearing this, Su He’s expression slightly softened, "If that’s the case, I might consider it. Tell me, what do you need help with?"

    "It’s like this." Ling Chen cleared his throat and seriously said, "Elder Su, you must be aware of the Nine Elements Pill."

    At the mention of the Nine Elements Pill, a hint of surprise shed across Su He’s calm face. He put down the water bottle, looked up at Ling Chen, and asked neutrally, "How do you know about the Nine Elements Pill?"

    "It was mentioned by a friend of mine. Elder Su, although you don’t want to talk about your past, I understand that there must be a history between you and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Hence, I hope you can help me see if there’s a way to obtain the Nine Elements Pill."

    "You want the Nine Elements Pill?" Su He shook his head and said, "I advise you to let go of that thought, it’s impossible. Not just any outsider, even the key members within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion can’t easily obtain the Nine Elements Pill. Kid, regardless of how you learned about the Nine Elements Pill, you should give up early on."

    Seeing Su He present a stance that leaves no room for negotiation, Ling Chen was forced to speak the truth.

    "Save your father?"

    Ling Chen nodded and said, "Elder Su, not to hide it from you, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is also my friend, I wouldn’t have asked this if it wasn’t for something extremely important. There’s no other way this time, my father has fallen into Ji Gang’s hands, other than the Nine Elements Pill, there’s nothing else that can exchange for my father’s release. Elder Su, he’s my father, I can’t just watch him die, no matter the cost, I must ensure his safety."

    "This..." Su He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you know that only a Heavenly List expert can consume the Nine Elements Pill, then you should be even more aware that once you give the Nine Elements Pill to Ji Gang, it will greatly enhance his strength. At that time, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will certainly face threats from Ji Gang. You’re only thinking about your father, have you considered the consequences?"

    "As for the consequences, those are matters forter, I can’t even save my father now, how can I think about other things." Saying this, Ling Chen suddenly knelt to the ground, kowtowed to Su He, and earnestly said, "Elder Su, I’ve never asked anything from you, I hope you can help me this time. If there’s ever a day you need me, whether through hell or high water, I will not refuse."

    Looking at Ling Chen’s hopeful face, Su He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, since you put it that way, I’ll help you this time. However, I must rify, even though I’ll help you, whether you can achieve it still depends on your own ability."

    Ling Chen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Elder Su!"

    "Don’t thank me just yet, wait until you sessfully obtain the Nine Elements Pill." Saying this, Su He stood up and walked into the house. After a while, Su He returned, approached Ling Chen, and handed over a finely crafted dagger engraved with the character ’He,’ saying, "Take this dagger to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, if I remember correctly, soon there will be a grand event at the Yangxin Pavilion, that will be your only chance to obtain the Nine Elements Pill. With this dagger, they won’t stop you from attending."

    Ling Chen held the dagger with both hands and gratefully said, "Thank you, Elder Su."

    "Remember! Don’t reveal any information about me to anyone asking, including my current whereabouts. If you dare say an extra word, don’t me me for turning my back on past kindness," Su He instructed.

    "Yes, Elder Su, rest assured, I won’t say a word."

    "Good, it’s gettingte, you can make do for the night here, and head to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion tomorrow. Before you go, I still have some things to exin to you."

    As night fell!

    The darkness engulfed the sea, with only the rumbling sound of the waves, surging powerfully, ceaselessly beating against the shore.

    Outside the cabin, Ling Chen and Su He sat in front of the bonfire, under the light of the mes, enjoying the freshly roasted sea fish.

    Ling Chen took a bite of the crispy on the outside, tender on the inside sea fish and asked, "Elder Su, what else do you need to exin?"

    "The grand event at Yangxin Pavilion... I won’t borate on that, you’ll naturally understand when you get there. What I need to tell you is, everyone participating in that event is from Yangxin Pavilion, and everyone will stop at nothing to defeat their opponents and win the final victory, so you must be careful."
