Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan lifted him up with one hand, which shocked the several cultivators, who secretly exclaimed that he was a freak!

To have the strength of a thousand pounds with just one arm—even a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator wouldn't easily achieve that.

Li Lan smiled and said, "Okay."

"I'll stay here and guard it."

Zeng Chenglin looked at Li Lan with great satisfaction and said, "Thank you!"

He had other important matters to attend to and thus departed.

……

"President Zeng, is it appropriate to let such a newcomer guard the final checkpoint?"

As we walked out of the hall, someone spoke in a low voice, sounding somewhat suspicious.

"His strength is the strongest in the South City."

Zeng Chenglin spoke calmly.

What else could you not trust about a ruthless person who could wipe out the entire Li family's southern city base with just a fire extinguisher?

"But is this person, who is guarding the True Martial Scripture, reliable...?"

The person next to him continued to speak, their eyes flashing with distrust.

What if Li Lan harbors ill intentions towards the Zhenwu Scripture?

“He knew about the existence of the True Martial Scripture a long time ago, and he had the opportunity to obtain it long ago.”

Zeng Chenglin calmly said, "But he didn't, so put aside your doubts, Li Lan is trustworthy!"

—Li Lan had interrogated Li Jinglin and learned about the True Martial Scripture, but he didn't ask her about it at the Li family base.

Whether Zeng Chenglin and his team could have made it out of there back then is another matter entirely, if he really wanted to...

This is also why he dared to trust Li Lan.

Where are the people from Kyoto?

"We should arrive in three days."

Zeng Chenglin nodded. Three days. As long as they can hold out for these three days, they can rest assured when the people from headquarters arrive.

"Have you found out what we asked you to investigate? Which high-level cultivators actually appeared in the South City back then?"

He pressed further, saying that after reaching an agreement with Li Lan yesterday, he immediately mobilized the entire branch's resources to investigate the disappearance of Li Lan's parents.

"Reporting to the commander, we have searched through all the records. That year, the high-level cultivators who appeared in the South City were mainly from the Li family and our Dao Restorationists."

"There is no record of any high-level cultivators from the Li family appearing in the files, and it is impossible to further confirm whether any high-level cultivators are acting in secret. However, there is one within our Dao Restoration Group..."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenglin's expression changed drastically, and he said:

"what?"

He frowned.

According to Li Lan, her parents were persecuted by the Li family back then, and were rescued by a high-level cultivator.

That high-level cultivator was clearly not from the Li family.

that……

Were the people who rescued Li Lan's parents from the Fudao Group?

"That Gao Xiu's file is classified."

The person next to him added.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenglin frowned even more. Li Lan's parents were just two ordinary people at the time, so why would they attract the help of a high-level cultivator from the Daoist sect?

"I want to see it for myself."

He spoke solemnly.

……

And this moment.

Li Lan casually set the warhammer aside and glanced indifferently at the scripture.

In today's world, the path of cultivation is particularly difficult. Even if one obtains ancient scriptures, it requires a long period of interpretation and analysis before they can be transformed into something that modern people can understand for cultivation.

Even a powerful force like the Restorationists needs to gather various experts to tackle the problem; ordinary people who obtain it would neither be able to preserve it nor decipher it.

But for Li Lan, this was not a problem at all.

"It's not comprehensive; it's only a partial, incomplete version."

Li Lan shook her head.

He might be somewhat interested in the complete True Martial inheritance, but such a fragment is of no use to him.

"Those who restore the Way..."

He murmured to himself that, let alone a small mountain villa, if he wanted, his divine sense could monitor the every move of everyone in the entire South City. Therefore, Zeng Chenglin's conversation with the people around him could not be hidden from him.

My parents were actually rescued by the Resurrected Ones?

In that case, let's wait a bit!

……

"Chairman Li, we have received news that the headquarters of the Restorationists has sent people to Nancheng, and they should arrive in three days."

Inside a skyscraper, in a luxurious office, a man in black spoke to a middle-aged man leaning on a cane.
