Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 480: Chapter 479, The Vanished Cultivator

Xu Wendong took a sip of tea, ”I will definitely find Xu Fan. Whether she wants to stay with her parents or come back depends entirely on her attitude.”

”If someone forces her into a life she doesn’t want, no one will succeed.”

Saying this, he put down his cup and turned to leave the teahouse.

After getting into the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Xu Wendong said, ”Let’s go, back to Qingyuan!”

The driver drove away.

”Do you know anything about cultivators?” Xu Wendong looked at Qian Duoduo.

He was certain that Xu Fan’s biological parents were cultivators, and their realm was quite strong.

Qian Duoduo shook his head, ”Cultivators belong to a legendary existence. Over the years, six Great Grandmasters have been searching for traces of cultivators, but have found nothing.”

”This may be related to The Age of Dharma Decline.”

Xu Wendong curiously asked, ”What exactly does The Age of Dharma Decline mean?”

He had heard the term before.

That time, it was entering Yan Liuli’s dream to help her slay the Esoteric Buddhist cultivator in her dream. At that time, the opponent mentioned The Age of Dharma Decline.

Qian Duoduo, ”I don’t know much about The Age of Dharma Decline, but my father once told me that long ago, nature’s spiritual energy in the Great Xia Land was abundant, and many cultivators existed, with some even capable of flying and disappearing from sight.”

”But a few hundred years ago, nature’s spiritual energy became extremely scarce, and those cultivators couldn’t adapt to the environment of that time, dying one after another.”

”That era is known as The Age of Dharma Decline.”

”Of course, it is said that some found a way to avoid The Age of Dharma Decline in the Kunlun Mountains.”

”But over the years, I’ve sent many people deep into the Kunlun Mountains, and I’ve gone in many times myself, but I haven’t found any signs of cultivators!”

”However, history books record that ancient great powers could create independent Minor Worlds. I feel that those cultivators most likely hid in these Minor Worlds.”

Xu Wendong slightly nodded, he had heard a bit about Minor Worlds before.

And based on the current information.

Xu Fan’s parents were likely cultivators living in one of these Minor Worlds, and if he wanted to find Xu Fan, he had to become strong enough.

Nine in the evening.

The Rolls-Royce entered Qingyuan County.

Although it was already night, Qingyuan was brightly lit, and the streets were bustling with traffic and lively voices.

Especially when passing by the department store, many traffic police were performing their duties here, and a lot of police cars were parked on the roadside.

They even directly blocked the road.

Xu Wendong was puzzled at first, but after seeing the information on the huge screen outside the department store, he was suddenly relieved.

Jiang Hongyi, a popular domestic movie star, singer, and television queen, known as the leading figure among the Four Little Flowers, had a performance here.

”Inviting Jiang Hongyi to perform for a supermarket’s twentieth-anniversary celebration, that’s really extravagant!” Qian Duoduo clicked his tongue in admiration, his face full of awe.

”Hearing the word ’extravagant’ come from your mouth is indeed surprising.” Xu Wendong quietly watched the woman on the screen, her long hair and alluring figure.

She wore a red body-hugging dress that left an astonishing impression, especially her enchanting peach blossom eyes that captivated people’s hearts.

Her looks and charisma were both unforgettable.

Qian Duoduo nonchalantly remarked, ”Mister Xu, you may not know, but I once wanted to invite Jiang Hongyi to our group’s annual meeting. After all, she’s really popular and has no scandals. Calling her the national goddess is not an exaggeration.”

”However, this woman is not easy to invite!”

Xu Wendong returned to his senses, his face full of surprise, ”Not easy to invite?”

Qian Duoduo shrugged helplessly, ”I once contacted Jiang Hongyi’s agent, increased the offer to a billion, but they didn’t even respond.”

”What? In this day and age, someone can refuse such a big temptation?” Xu Wendong couldn’t remain calm, a billion just for attending a company’s annual event, what’s the difference from going on vacation?

Jiang Hongyi didn’t seem foolish!

How could she refuse Qian Duoduo’s invitation?

Qian Duoduo said, ”Jiang Hongyi herself is a proud woman, plus the capital backing her is very strong, a billion really might not mean much to them.”

”Although our Qian Corporate Group could use money to sway the capital behind her, in my opinion, it’s completely unnecessary.”

”With that money, we could build more hope primary schools, construct libraries for children in impoverished areas, donate ambulances and medical equipment to remote hospitals, isn’t that better?”

Xu Wendong looked at him with a smile, ”Is this all taught by your father?”

”He’s obsessed with cultivation all day, doesn’t have time to worry about this stuff, it’s all handled by us.” Saying this, Qian Duoduo showed a proud expression.

”Indeed, instead of spending so much money, it’s better to do something beneficial for the common people.” Seeing traffic ahead, Xu Wendong asked the driver to take a detour and then went to a restaurant he used to frequent.

Although going home later would surely mean that his sister-in-law Lin Yiren would cook, since Qian Duoduo brought him back, he should treat him to a simple meal.

After dinner.

Xu Wendong parted ways with Qian Duoduo, strolling alone towards the Shengjing Shanshui Villa District while also observing this familiar yet slightly unfamiliar city.

He hadn’t been away for long, but South City had already erected many towering skyscrapers. Though it was night, construction crews were still working.

Meanwhile, there were also many vehicles with out-of-town license plates on the road, and the entire city showed signs of prosperity.

”This is truly awesome!”

Xu Wendong exclaimed sincerely, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Because the city had improved because of him.

He was also a builder of this city.

Half an hour later.

Xu Wendong returned to the Shengjing Shanshui Villa District.

However.

Villa No. 95 had no lights on and was pitch dark.

He initially thought his sister-in-law Lin Yiren might have gone to sleep, but when he emitted soul force, he couldn’t sense her presence.

This puzzled him.

Immediately, he took out his phone and dialed his sister-in-law’s number, but no one answered, making him tense up.

It was already almost eleven, his sister-in-law wasn’t home, and she wasn’t answering her phone. How could he not be worried?

Without thinking further, he called his sister-in-law’s good friend, Huang Ruirui.

After all, the two were inseparable. Perhaps Huang Ruirui knew her whereabouts.

To his surprise.

Huang Ruirui’s phone didn’t connect either.

”What’s going on? Why aren’t either of them answering their phones?” Xu Wendong was anxious with worry, then directly dialed Yan Liuli’s number.

Yan Liuli was the CEO of the Shengpeng Group, formerly the boss of the four factions in Qingyuan County. Her intelligence network was impressive, plus they had shared some wild times together, forging strong bonds.

But what Xu Wendong never expected.

Yan Liuli didn’t answer his call either.

A sense of foreboding rose in Xu Wendong’s heart, ”What’s going on? Why aren’t any of the women close to me picking up the phone?”
