Fanatic Fan

"Xiao Rou jie?" Lin Chao asked, a confused look on his face.

"The girl who came with me last time to pick up things. She's no ordinary person. She's the senior disciple of the Three Extremes Martial Hall, and this martial hall will be in her hands in the future," Zhao Xiaoyi chattered non-stop.

Lin Chao's mind immediately conjured an image of a burly woman. His previous guess was that she was either a martial artist or from the army. Now, it seemed his guess was correct. It was just that she was too strong.

Lin Chao understood these things well. The world he was in now was an ordinary one. Practicing martial arts was about skill, about strengthening bones, muscles, and tendons. Contaminated individuals like Specialists didn't exist here.

"Brother Lin Chao, do you want to go together tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaoyi asked happily. Having an extra person on the journey wouldn't be too boring.

"Okay," Lin Chao agreed after thinking about it. It was on the way anyway.

"Plane or high-speed rail?" Zhao Xiaoyi inquired.

"High-speed rail," Lin Chao replied after some thought. With his current strength, falling from a plane would probably kill him. It was better to take the high-speed rail. Even if an accident happened, he would have ways to deal with it.

Of course, Lin Chao knew that according to investigation data, planes were the safest mode of transportation in the world, with the lowest probability of accidents. However, when accidents did occur, it was highly likely that everyone would perish.

"Alright, I'll go tell Xiao Rou jie." Zhao Xiaoyi took out her phone and sent a series of voice messages to Xiao Rou jie.

Soon, Zhao Xiaoyi's face showed a look of delight. "Brother Lin Chao, send me your ID number. I'll buy the tickets, and I have a way to get seats together!"

"Okay," Lin Chao nodded. "How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Okay," Zhao Xiaoyi replied. While operating her phone to buy tickets, she was also watching a livestream on her computer. The livestream was still about the excavation of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range. In recent times, the excavation progress in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range had rapidly increased, but only bones had been found, with no other discoveries. Expert Liu Chengchao and host Wang Jiao rarely appeared on screen. The livestream's entertainment value had decreased significantly, but it still had a considerable audience.

The camera panned across the excavation site, and sometimes it would shift to show Liu Chengchao and others.

"Look, Brother Lin Chao!" Zhao Xiaoyi paused the livestream.

"What is it?" Lin Chao looked over. In the livestream, three figures could be seen in the distance. Two of them, based on their outlines, could be identified as Liu Chengchao and Wang Jiao. There was another person who seemed to have a black veil covering her face, making her features indistinguishable. She appeared to be a woman. Lin Chao's gaze fell upon this woman, his expression thoughtful.

"See the woman in the black veil?" Zhao Xiaoyi said mysteriously. "This woman has appeared several times in the past few days, always just a fleeting glimpse in the livestream."

"And then?"

"Don't you find it strange? In a place like this, a young woman wearing a black veil appears. It feels a bit odd," Zhao Xiaoyi said.

Lin Chao nodded. He agreed with Zhao Xiaoyi's assessment. In excavation sites like this, people who showed up were usually experts or related staff. This woman in the black veil seemed very unusual, appearing out of place at the excavation site.

"Do you know who this woman in the black veil is?" Zhao Xiaoyi asked.

Lin Chao shook his head. He didn't know.

Actually, he wasn't paying much attention to the excavation situation in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

The only thing he cared about was whether Heize's corpse, or rather, that gun, was still there.

"According to the gossip I've heard in my little circles, this woman is from the Jia family," Zhao Xiaoyi said mysteriously.

Clearly, she was a gossip enthusiast, and a very good one at that.

"The Jia family? What about them?" Lin Chao asked, confused.

"Have you heard of millennium-old aristocratic families?" Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.

"I've heard of them," Lin Chao replied casually.

Ordinary people always had many speculations and fantasies about those in power.

For example, the legendary "Summer Group," a special forces unit rumored to be able to kill a fierce tiger with a sliding tackle.

For example, the millennium-old aristocratic families that secretly controlled Great Xia.

"This person, I've heard, is a genuine member of a millennium-old aristocratic family!" Zhao Xiaoyi exclaimed, her eyes filled with excitement.

"And then?" Lin Chao yawned. He wasn't interested in such matters.

Whatever millennium-old families or not, as long as they didn't interfere with him, it was fine.

"For such a noble woman to go to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range...

There are three theories circulating online.

The first is that this woman is a history buff;

The second is that this woman is an ardent fan of Heize;

The third is that this Jia family, this millennium-old aristocratic family, might be related to the downfall of the Wolf Tribe.

Brother Lin Chao, which one do you think it is?"

Lin Chao thought for a moment and said, "The first one?"

"Why?" Zhao Xiaoyi asked, puzzled.

"Let's use the process of elimination. First, let's consider the third theory. If the downfall of the Wolf Tribe was related to the Jia family, then as a millennium-old aristocratic family, they would definitely not let such a merit go unnoticed.

However, there hasn't been any information released about the destruction of the Wolf Guard."

Lin Chao was talking nonsense.

In reality, the reason was that he himself had annihilated the Wolf Guard, and no one else was involved.

Knowing this, he naturally ruled out the third theory.

"The second theory is even more absurd.

If she truly came from a millennium-old aristocratic family, why would she be an ardent fan of someone as ephemeral as Heize?

Do you see any powerful figures chasing after celebrities?"

"Brother Lin Chao, you're wrong about that," Zhao Xiaoyi said. "Doesn't the Queen of Maple Brilliant Country constantly chase after Jacks?"

Maple Brilliant Country, located in the West, was an ancient nation and could be considered among the top tier of world powers today.

The Queen of Maple Brilliant Country had been a huge fan of Jacks in her youth, which became a well-known story.

Zhao Xiaoyi, being a frequent consumer of gossip, naturally knew such things.

"Jacks is alive, Heize is dead. They can't be compared," Lin Chao said with a smile.

Men are lustful, and women are too.

Moreover, due to physical characteristics and other reasons, women's lustfulness can, in a sense, be even greater than men's.

Especially for women of the Queen of Maple Brilliant Country's caliber, being attracted to a handsome man like Jacks and having a brief encounter wouldn't be anything significant.

"What's wrong with being dead?" Zhao Xiaoyi clearly didn't grasp the meaning of Lin Chao's words. "Don't you know how many fans Heize has now?

Some martial arts halls are even claiming that their ancestors were disciples of Liu Xiu, making them fellow disciples with Heize.

A few days ago, the female CEO of Anhuai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. even said she was willing to pay three million yuan for a finger bone of Heize for her collection.

She also said that if any calligraphy or paintings by Heize appeared, she would be willing to pay hundreds of thousands."

"Cough, cough, there are so many rich people," Lin Chao said casually.

He hadn't expected his finger bones to be so valuable.

"Exactly!" Zhao Xiaoyi said proudly. "So, this woman in black is very likely an ardent fan of Heize."

Lin Chao smiled; these things had nothing to do with him.

"What about you?" Lin Chao asked casually, however.

"I'm a rational person, not so brainless.

Although Heize was very strong and I admire him, modern people are too brainless and deify him excessively.

I dare say that even if Heize were alive today, he might not be able to defeat my Sister Xiao Rou."

Of course, in other aspects, he was far stronger than Sister Xiao Rou.

Moreover, he killed the Wolf Guards and made significant contributions to the continuation of Great Xia civilization; I admire him greatly for that!"

Lin Chao smiled.

He had met Zhao Xiaoyi's Sister Xiao Rou.

She was indeed a trained martial artist, possessing some strength.

Furthermore, modern martial arts training methods were more scientific and paid more attention to the impact.

If it were purely a spar, Heize and his few fellow disciples, two of them might not necessarily be a match for Zhao Xiaoyi's Sister Xiao Rou.

However, if it came down to a kill-or-be-killed fight, Xiao Rou would definitely lose.

After all, in that era, martial arts were all about killing techniques.
