Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

Chapter 298 Late-night Conspiracy

Li Fan was not stupid. He did not ask for the reward immediately, but made up an excuse to delay time.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Elder, this matter is too serious for me. I hope you can give me some time to think about it before making a decision."

Seeing this, the elder did not insist. He waved his hand and said, "Take this young man to the guest room to rest. Don't neglect him."

A disciple came out in response and made a "please" gesture to Li Fan.

Li Fan followed the disciple out of the hall, secretly thinking about what to do next.

Although they managed to get away with it temporarily, it was by no means easy to find Ji Moxue and take her away.

When they arrived at the guest room, the disciple said, "Sir, if you need anything, please let me know."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Fan paced back and forth in the room with a frown on his face.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps outside the door and became alert.

When he released his spiritual sense, he was surprised to find that it was Zhang Qier.

The girl looked around furtively, like a thief.

Li Fan then walked over, opened the door and let the other person in.

"Miss Zhang, what brings you here so late at night?"

Zhang Qier didn't hesitate and got straight to the point as soon as she came in.

"Sir, I know you have other purposes for entering our clan."

Li Fan was startled, his spiritual power surged, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Qier sensed Li Fan's murderous intent and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry, sir! I really don't mean any harm."

There was a hint of urgency and panic in her voice, and her eyes were full of sincerity and pleading.

Li Fan stared at her closely and said in a cold voice, "What do you want?"

Zhang Qier took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Sir, I can sense that you are not a bad person, and I guess you are here looking for someone. I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition."

Li Fan frowned and said, "What conditions?"

Zhang Qier bit her lip and said, "After this is done, you have to take me away from this family."

Li Fan was filled with doubts and vigilance, and asked, "Why? Isn't it good for you to be in this family?"

Zhang Qier's eyes flashed with pain and helplessness, and she said, "Sir, this family has too many rules and restrictions. I've wanted to leave for a long time. Besides, I might end up like that girl. As long as you agree to take me away, I will do my best to help you find the person you're looking for."

Li Fan was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I promise you. But if you dare to lie to me, you will bear the consequences!"

Zhang Qier showed a hint of joy on her face and said, "Don't worry, sir. I, Zhang Qier, will keep my word."

Li Fan temporarily believed Zhang Qier and motioned her to sit down and talk slowly.

Zhang Qier pursed her lips and began to talk about the Zhang family.

"Sir, although our Zhang family is a secluded family in Liuyan Prefecture, we are plagued by internal strife. The family is divided into several major factions, fighting openly and covertly for power and resources, creating a chaotic atmosphere."

There was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"The elders of the family appear to be highly respected, but in reality, they each harbor ulterior motives. The younger generation is also drawn into this, with no choice but to act. People like me, without a strong background, can only be manipulated."

Having said that, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Furthermore, the family has a shocking secret. In order to cultivate his evil skills, the ancestor of the family would periodically use a gifted woman as a cauldron. This made all the women in the family live in fear every day, fearing that misfortune would befall them one day."

Li Fan was a little worried and roughly guessed what would happen to Mo Xue if she was caught. He clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound.

At this time, Zhang Qier's voice trembled slightly, as if she remembered what had happened in the past.

"Those so-called important objects are actually just tools used by certain factions to suppress others."

Then she looked over again and shook her head helplessly.

"It is said that the girl captured this time was also involved in some family secrets or interests. I don't know the details, but I know that the family will often use any means to achieve their goals."

After hearing this, Li Fan frowned even more tightly.

He was secretly thinking about how to find Ji Moxue and escape safely from this complicated situation.

Then he turned and asked Zhang Qier.

"Is there any good way? I want to know where the captured girl is being held? Has anything happened to her?"

Zhang Qier thought for a moment and bit her lip.

"Sir, as far as I know, captured women are usually imprisoned in the family dungeon. The dungeon is located deep within the family, heavily guarded, and guarded by many experts. Moreover, the dungeon is full of traps, and it is extremely difficult to enter and rescue the women."

She paused and continued, "However, every once in a while, the dungeon's guards change shifts, and that might be our chance. But even if we manage to enter the dungeon, finding the person you're looking for won't be easy. The dungeon is so intricate, like a maze."

Li Fan's face was solemn as he said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try."

A hint of determination flashed in Zhang Qier's eyes.

"Sir, I will do my best to help you. But before that, we still need to make some preparations, such as figuring out the specific layout of the dungeon and the exact time for the shift change."

Li Fan nodded.

"Then that's a problem, girl."

Zhang Qier waved her hands quickly.

"You are too kind, sir. This is also for my own sake."

Then, the two began to discuss the specific plan.

After the discussion, Zhang Qier left quickly.

However, before she could take a few steps, she was caught by Zhang Qiyi.

"where have you been?"
