"What!"
Ling Yu's face changed dramatically.
Chen knew he was hiding in the Yellow Sand Tower?
Otherwise, what did his words mean?
But how could it be?
He heard everything happening outside clearly; he had never told him about his hiding place.
Now that things had reached this point, he wouldn't think that those outside were putting on a show for him.
If Chen Fan really found him, his fate would be absolutely tragic. Once Chen found out that he had tipped off the Song Family about the truth behind Song Gang's death...
He didn't dare to think further.
"Chen Fan, I don't understand what you're saying."
Shi Tao shook his head.
In the next moment, his face changed as he guarded his pocket containing the Yellow Sand Tower.
But it was too late.
Chen Fan seized the Yellow Sand Tower in his hand first.
"It's over..."
Shen Si and the others nearby had the same thought.
"Chen Fan!"
Shi Tao feigned anger and said, "How can you steal things from me? Give it back."
"Sorry, President, but I had no choice," Chen Fan sighed and then infused his spiritual power into the tower.
Indeed, the Ling Yu he had been searching for was sitting pale-faced on the grass, staring blankly at the sky.
"Chen Fan, what are you trying to do?"
He uttered in panic.
"Get out!"
With a thought, Chen Fan made Ling Yu appear in the hall.
Song Tian and the others nearby were all astonished.
They looked at the Yellow Sand Tower in Chen Fan's hand with evident excitement.
This item could actually hold a person?
Ling Yu's eyes swept around, startled by the scene before him.
Fortunately, he quickly reacted and tried to run behind Shi Tao.
Considering the strength of Carl from the Revival Association, even he couldn't escape; if he tried to run, he'd die even faster.
Unfortunately, Chen Fan wouldn't give him this chance.
In a flash, he tapped Ling Yu twice, causing him to stand still in his attempt to escape.
"Are you a man or not? At such a moment, you only hide behind elders, afraid to face things head-on?"
Chen Fan stared into his eyes.
Ling Yu broke into a cold sweat, unable to meet Chen Fan's gaze, desperately glancing towards Shi Tao for help.
"Look at me!"
Chen Fan commanded in a low voice.
This shout frightened Ling Yu so much that he wet his pants. A foul smell spread through the hall.
Chang Fei and the others couldn't bear to watch and turned away.
They knew that being scared to wet one's pants wasn't entirely Ling Yu's fault, because Chen Fan's strength was too overpowering. Facing them before, he had restrained his aura; but facing Ling Yu now, he held nothing back.
If anyone else were in Ling Yu's place, they might not fare any better against Chen Fan.
But, how could things have developed to this point? Whose fault was it?
It could only be blamed on Ling Yu himself.
"Chen Fan..."
Shi Tao wanted to say something.
Without looking at him, Chen Fan interrupted, "President, this is between him and me. Here, take this back."
Saying so, he threw the Yellow Sand Tower back.
Shi Tao accepted it bitterly.
"Tell me, did Xiao Hong act under your orders to go to the Anshan City Martial Arts Association to find me?"
Chen Fan asked word by word.
"No, no, it wasn't me,"
Ling Yu stammered, "It was him, he wanted to go himself."
He wasn't foolish; once he admitted it, he'd face the same fate as the Song Family!
Moreover, if Chen Fan really wanted to kill him, no one could stop it.
"Look into my eyes and say it again."
Chen Fan said coldly.
Ling Yu dared not look and desperately glanced at Shi Tao.
"It seems that you won't tell the truth unless I use the Soul-Searching Technique."
"No!"
Shi Tao quickly said, "Chen Fan, don't use the Soul-Searching Technique; it will cause permanent damage to his spirit."
"Then tell me, how can I make him tell the truth?"
Chen Fan turned and asked, "If the past incident wasn't related to him, why didn't you reveal his whereabouts before now? If there wasn't some hidden reason, how would you explain it?"
Shi Tao was speechless.
He feared this moment so he hid Ling Yu in the Yellow Sand Tower, yet the inevitable still happened, confirming Chen Fan's suspicion.
Finally, he sighed deeply, "Chen Fan, you're right. Xiao Hong was indeed sent by Xiaoyu."
"Master!"
Ling Yu wailed in despair.
"Xiaoyu, you can't hide what's been done; the truth will come out."
Tears rolled down Shi Tao's face, "You made a mistake, but as your master, I am partly responsible. As the saying goes, if a child fails, it's the father's fault; if a student goes astray, it's the master's fault. Chen Fan, I am willing to suffer in Xiaoyu's stead, offering my entire power in exchange for his safety."
"President!"
"President!"
Chang Fei and the others exclaimed, wanting to say something.
Shi Tao waved his hand, "Chen Fan, the Star Absorption Technique you practice can absorb others' power and your cultivation speed is far beyond ordinary people. But there are also drawbacks; if you absorb too much power from others, it can easily backfire and harm yourself.
So, I will transfer all my power to you using the power transfer method. I only hope you will spare Ling Yu, is that alright?"
"Master!"
