"The Demon Suppression Division might have sensed something. I've seen their people several times in the back mountains recently."

"Don't mind them. Our priority is to speed up the search for the person we need!"

Inside the study, the Hall Master of the Purple Flame Hall, Xiao Hong, and his son, the Right Protector of the Purple Flame Hall, Xiao Yunming, sat opposite each other, discussing with serious expressions.

The Purple Flame Hall was originally the largest martial arts school in Purple Flame County. With numerous disciples, its influence in Purple Flame County surpassed that of the government.

The previous Hall Master of the Purple Flame Hall had foresight. He knew that even though they held absolute power in Purple Flame County at the moment, in the eyes of cultivators, they were ultimately just a mortal organization.

So, he traveled to another country and spent all of the Purple Flame Hall's savings at the time to purchase a fragmented cultivation technique.

His child, the current Hall Master Xiao Hong, possessed exceptional cultivation talent. In less than thirty years, he had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

From then on, a new cultivation sect emerged in the Qingzhou region.

Relying on that incomplete Seven Flame Secret Art, the Purple Flame Hall recruited many disciples with cultivation aptitude, and it had now become the top sect below the five major first-rate sects in Qingzhou.

And now, they had encountered an opportunity to leap into the heavens.

As the two were talking, the main door of the study was pushed open, and Xiao Lan rushed in.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunming frowned and reprimanded, "You're a young lady, always so impetuous and ungraceful. Didn't you know to knock before entering?"

Xiao Hong, however, chuckled and said, "Ah, she's just a child, it's good to be lively."

Xiao Yunming looked at his doting father and said helplessly, "She's already twenty-five. Qiu Niang had already given birth to her at this age."

Xiao Hong completely ignored him, smiling and waving, "Come, Lanlan, what good news makes you so happy?"

Xiao Lan ran over and pouted as she passed Xiao Yunming, letting out a huff.

"You!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yunming's veins bulged on his forehead, but he could only keep comforting himself.

She's my own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood!

Xiao Lan said with a giggle, "Grandfather, I have a surprise for you."

"Oh? What surprise?"

Xiao Lan's eyes darted around, and she said, "Aren't you looking for ordinary people with strong physiques?"

Xiao Yunming's brows furrowed, and he said angrily, "How did you know about this? I was discussing important matters with your grandfather, don't interfere unnecessarily."

"We're not outsiders, it's fine, it's fine," Xiao Hong waved his hand and smiled at Xiao Lan, "What? Did you find such a person?"

"Mhm, I found someone today who should meet your requirements."

Xiao Yunming was somewhat disbelieving and questioned, "The people we need have very high demands on physical strength. They're not comparable to those strongmen who perform acrobatics on the street."

Facing her father's suspicion, Xiao Lan immediately retorted indignantly, "Of course, I know. That person was able to pull his hand out of mine just by relying on physical strength alone. I'm a cultivator who is about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"What? A man dared to touch your hand?"

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

The father and daughter's reactions were remarkably similar; they both stood up in shock.

It was just that their focus had gone slightly astray.

"Of course, how could I lie to you."

Xiao Lan pouted, somewhat regretfully saying, "It's just that I couldn't convince him to help right away, so I was thinking of trying again tomorrow!"

"It's good that you found him, it's good that you found him!" Xiao Yunming paced back and forth excitedly, then suddenly stopped and said to Xiao Lan, "You don't need to go out tomorrow. It's best if you don't get involved in this matter. Leave the rest to your grandfather and me."

"Why? I'm the one who found the person!"

Xiao Lan said indignantly.

At this moment, Xiao Hong also reacted and persuaded, "Lanlan, listen to your father. This matter is very dangerous. You should stay home obediently. Tell us who the person is, and don't worry about the rest."

Seeing that her most beloved grandfather also said this, Xiao Lan could only nod helplessly, "Alright then, that person's name is... Huh? I forgot to ask his name."

Patting her head, Xiao Lan stuck out her tongue, "But don't worry, his physique is extraordinary, and you can find out with a casual inquiry. He's staying at the Zidu Inn!"

"Achoo!"

Kong Wu sneezed and touched his nose in confusion.

With his current physical strength, could he possibly catch a cold?

Shaking his head, he picked up the wine pot on the table and took a big gulp.

"Change the batch."

Looking at the row of charming women standing in front of him, Kong Wu shook his head in disappointment and said to the procuress beside him.

The procuress, who had been looking at him fawningly, heard this and her smile looked worse than crying.

"Esteemed strongman, this is the last batch..."

Kong Wu casually tossed over a luminous pearl and asked, "With this level, how dare you open for business? Don't hold back, I can afford it."

The procuress took the luminous pearl and greedily glanced at the sack beside Kong Wu.

"The other girls are all virtuous courtesans, whether they accompany guests or not is not something we can force. As for your request, sir..."

Her eyes darted around, and she leaned in, whispering a few words into Kong Wu's ear.

Upon hearing this, Kong Wu's eyes lit up. "There's such a thing? Alright, take me there."

The procuress called over a young attendant, whispered a few instructions, and then the attendant led Kong Wu away.

Kong Wu was a normal man with worldly desires.

After tossing and turning on the inn's bed for a while, Kong Wu asked the innkeeper about the location of the largest brothel in the county, then left the inn with his sack.

Originally, after Kong Wu had thrown the two burly men at the entrance out with one hand each, the procuress didn't want to do business with him.

However, he offered too much money.

After fully understanding the client's needs, the procuress presented Kong Wu with several options, but none of them satisfied him.

At this moment, after following the attendant out the back door, Kong Wu was led through a series of twists and turns to a small courtyard.

Standing before the courtyard, Kong Wu casually surveyed his surroundings, sighed, sent the attendant away, and walked straight into the yard.

A maidservant approached and softly asked, "Was it Mama Li who introduced you?"

Kong Wu nodded and casually handed over a gold ingot.

The maidservant calmly accepted the gold ingot and gestured for him to enter.

Kong Wu entered the room, and his eyes fell upon a woman with alluring eyes.

She knelt before a screen, dressed in a pink long dress, with a cherry-like mouth beneath her delicate nose forming a beautiful curve.

A tea set was placed before her, wisps of steam rising from it.

However, the moment Kong Wu saw the woman, his face showed unconcealable disappointment.
