Chapter 595
Zachary's mind was a little confused. It was not because of Yuan Dong's threat, nor was it because of Zhou Liu's revenge. It was because of the unexpected arrival of Qin Lin and what he had said. "Qin Family in Jingcheng City, Qin Qihua!" These strange and familiar terms emerged in Zachary's heart, making him hard to calm down and unable to sleep.
That family, the people there, and the arrangement of the big hand of destiny, all seemed to be turned into a big net to envelop Qin Hao, and he couldn't escape from the various causes and effects. Zachary didn't know how he fell asleep. The only thing he knew was that he was awakened by the ring of a phone the next day.novelbin
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zachary picked up the phone and saw that it was a peaceful number on the caller ID. He was immediately curious and muttered to himself, "Jingxi, this little girl, why did you call me at this time? Don't you have class?" Then Zachary picked up the phone.
"Mr. Ching, are you free?" The peaceful words on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious.
Zachary suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "Jingjing, is there anything you have encountered? Tell me, Big Mr. Ching will help you solve it."
He said serenely, "Mr. Ching, I'm fine. I'm just a little worried about my father."
"Your father? Didn't he go back to his hometown?" Zachary said.
Ever since An Wei went to school in the capital city in peace, he had left the provincial capital. It had been more than half a semester. In the beginning, Zachary had made a call to him once or twice.
However, they didn't contact each other later. After all, An Wei went back to deal with family affairs. Besides, he was powerful, so Zachary didn't worry too much. But now, listening to his peaceful words, it seemed that something had happened.
With a somewhat anxious tone, peaceful voice said, "He said that he went back to his hometown. I called him every week and asked him about his hometown. He would tell me something. But in the past month, the time he talked to me was getting shorter and shorter. In addition, I couldn't get through to him in the recent two weeks."
"You can't get through!" Zachary said with an idea in his mind, "Don't worry, Xinxi. Maybe your father is busy, so he forgot to answer the phone."
Xin'an said with a little sob, "Mr. Ching, but, when my father called me for the last time two weeks ago, he asked me to take good care of myself. When I really met something difficult to solve, he asked you for help. At that time, his tone was a little... a little, I couldn't describe it, but I felt something was wrong."
Hearing this, Zachary's heart could not help but skip a beat, and he thought, "This is bad. An Wei's words show that he has already made arrangements for his funeral. Did something really happen to him?"
"Jingjing, don't worry, don't think about it. It's okay for Big Mr. Ching to be here." Zachary said, "Now, do you want to recall what your father told you to go back to your hometown to do?"
"I've also asked, but he just said that he wanted to deal with some things of the past, and he didn't tell me the details," said Ping'an.
"Do you know where your hometown is?" Zachary asked again.
"I heard from my dad that he's in Sujiang City, but I've never been there, so I don't know if it's true," she replied calmly.
"Sujiang City!" Zachary said, "There is no need to worry about it. I will help you deal with your father's affairs. I will go to Sujiang City to inquire about the situation. What's more, your father is so powerful. Even if he is in trouble, he will have no problem. Don't think too much. You should study hard. I will inform you as soon as I get any news."
"Well, Mr. Ching, won't I bother you? You're so busy, but it's still..." said quietly.
Zachary said, "Silly girl, you don't need to be polite with me and your Mr. Ching. Don't worry, I promise to find your father."
"Mr. Ching, thank you," said Daoist Qin with a sob.
Zachary said, "Silly girl, don't cry. It's okay, you know!"
"That's right!"
After hanging up the phone, Zachary's face didn't look good. What he said just now was to comfort her, but he was a little worried in his heart.
Needless to say about An Wei's strength. Except for a bug-like existence like Zachary, he was also a top-class expert in Hasbrouck. Ordinary people could not stop him.
But this kind of expert now lost contact with him and even did not answer his daughter's phone. Therefore, Zachary was even more worried that An Wei had encountered some big trouble.
Although he was worried, Zachary still had to deal with what he promised. He quickly got up from his bed and put on his clothes. Zachary came to Gao Hao and said, "Gao Hao, help me check if anything has happened in Su Jiang City or nearby?"
"Sujiang City! Are you going to Sujiang City, Dr. Ching?" Gao Hao was surprised.
"Really?" Zachary turned to look at Gao Hao and said, "Are you going to Sujiang City?"
Gao Hao nodded and said, "I'm going to talk to Dr. Ching. I'm ready to leave tomorrow. I've bought train tickets."
"What are you going to do in Sujiang City? Is there something important over there?" Zachary asked.
"Don't you know, Dr. Ching?" Gao Hao said in surprise, "The annual Nan Wuulin Tournament will be held in Mount Nan Su in Sujiang two days later."
"The martial arts meet in the south? What's that?" Zachary was really surprised.
Gao Hao explained, "The Kung Fu Championship is a gathering held by all the martial arts aristocratic families and prestigious sects and schools to conduct activities that exchange of martial arts."
"Does the Martial Arts Contest still exist in this era?" Zachary asked incredulously.
Gao Hao said, "The modern martial arts and cultivation are all declining, but after all, they still exist. The Martial Arts Contest is held by those martial arts families and famous sects. Most of them are martial artists, and some of them are cultivators."
"There are still cultivators participating in the Wulin Championship?" Zachary asked in surprise.
Gao Hao nodded and said, "A small part of practitioners will participate. However, there are not many modern practitioners in the first place, and many of them are under the control of the government. Therefore, the practitioners who participate are basically rogue cultivators from small sects and schools. Their cultivations are limited, and their abilities are not necessarily as good as those who practice martial arts."
Hearing this, Zachary nodded and understood in his heart. Cultivators from such a small sect were about the same as Zhao Zhicheng and Zhao San, whom Zachary met in Ludington City before. At that time, Zachary could kill these two people. Now, Zachary, whose strength was higher, had long been looking down on such cultivators. As for the more powerful leader of the Fifth Yue Group, the dragon power level, he would not participate in this kind of Kung Fu Championship. These cultivators used their Invocations to play some tricks, which could comfort the ordinary people. If they really fought head-on, they might not be able to defeat those who practiced martial arts.
Then, Zachary thought of a problem and asked Gao Hao, "Why are you going to the Martial Arts Contest in the south? Do you want to participate?"
After being asked this question, Gao Hao's eyes were a little dim. He shook his head and said to Zachary, "I'm not going to the Kung Fu Championship, I'm going to look for clues."
"Search for clues?" Zachary asked.
Gao Hao said, "Dr. Ching, you know, I was adopted by my master since I was a child. Besides, I've had many kinds of toxins in my body since I was a child. My master raised me and controlled the toxins in my body."
"But Master has always been unable to let go, that is, why when I was only a baby, I had so much poison in my body. So, over the years, Master has been secretly investigating my clues, wanting to find out my true identity." "And Master said that the toxin in my body should be a unique poison made by oneself, which is likely to be made by martial arts or cultivators. So, over the years, Master would take me to the Kung Fu Championship or the gathering of martial artists to investigate the clues of the toxin and to find out my identity."
Hearing Gao Hao's explanation, Zachary couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart. A newborn baby who didn't know anything was full of poison in his body. Zachary couldn't imagine what kind of secret it was.
Zachary couldn't imagine how much pain these poisons had brought to Gao Hao over the years.
He sighed, patted Gao Hao on the shoulder and said, "Since you are following me, then your business is also my business."
"Dr. Ching, thank you!" Gao Hao's eyes, which had always been cold, became a little softer at this moment, and he said to Zachary.
Zachary nodded and said, "I'm looking for someone this time. It's urgent. Let's go now. No problem!"
Gao Hao nodded, indicating that there was no problem. So the two of them directly bought two tickets to Sujiang City. In the afternoon, they arrived at Sujiang City.
Sujiang City was not big, with the delicate and exquisite aura of Jiangnan town. However, when Zachary and the others arrived, they could clearly feel that there were many strong men and women in the city, and each of them had an imposing manner. It seemed that they were the people who came to participate in the South Wulin Championship.
Zachary and Gao Pony didn't stop. They drove directly to Mount Nansu in the downtown.
Mount Nansu was not very famous in the south of Sujiang City, but it was also beautiful. It was a local tourist attraction of Sujiang City.
Three hours later, the car arrived at the foot of the southern Su Mountain. As soon as he got off the car, Zachary could feel the atmosphere of the Kung Fu Championship more clearly.
There were a lot of vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain, and many strong men and women came and went. Some of them even walked around with machetes and long spears.
Some people even directly played with their soft swords and long whips at the foot of the mountain. If it weren't for the fact that the scenic area was blocked and there were no tourists at the moment, I was afraid that some people would really treat him as a show if they played this way.
Zachary glanced at these people and felt that it was good to be strong. However, his aura was not strong, and he could only be regarded as a martial arts practitioner who had just started.
