Cultivation Pet Shop

Qing Ao immediately grabbed Lin Fan by the shoulder again and said, "Where? Where are they?"

Lin Fan pushed him off without any politeness this time since he knew that there was no time to spare. He then said, "No, I'm going alone on this one."

Qing Ao knitted his brows immediately and shook his head as he said, "No, they took my precious Lan Lan, how could I just leave it to you? I have to get my little baby back myself!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It won't work, they'll immediately sense you coming."

Qing Ao wanted to say something, but he quickly figured out what Lin Fan was implying.

After all, he was their target and they had been able to find him in this palace, so they must have some way of tracking him. As long as he left and chased after the kidnappers, it would immediately give away the fact that the kidnappers had been found.

If that happened, who knows what would happen?

Perhaps the enemy would send reinforcements to the kidnappers. They had experts that were strong enough to even keep Qing Ao busy even when they didn't have a hostage, but now that they did have a hostage…

Perhaps they might even take it a bit further and even kill Qing Bao Lan on the spot since their plans had failed…

Either way, it wasn't a good idea for Qing Ao to go since it would push the enemy into a corner and a cornered enemy was the strongest since they were at their most desperate.

However, Qing Ao still couldn't accept it…

But instead of using words, Lin Fan chose to use actions.

He used his various laws to immediately disappear on the spot before reappearing again in front of Qing Ao before asking, "Is this enough?"

Qing Ao was surprised when he saw this since even with his cultivation realm, he hadn't been able to find Lin Fan when he disappeared. Adding in Brainy's tracking skills, this was more than enough for him to find Qing Bao Lan and safely rescue her.

But he was still Qing Bao Lan's father and she was the gem of his heart, so he couldn't be assured in just leaving it to Lin Fan.

Still, since there was no other choice, Qing Ao gave a nod and said, "Brother Lin, I'll leave it to you."

Lin Fan gave a nod in response and said, "I'll get her back, I promise."

Then without wasting any time, he headed off into the forest, following Brainy's directions.

Brainy's puppets were still tracking down the kidnappers, so while she still hadn't found the kidnappers yet, Lin Fan was following their trail. The moment that Brainy did find the kidnappers, Lin Fan would be close to where they were and would be able to catch up to them sooner.

But even after half an hour of going through the woods, Brainy still wasn't able to find the exact location of the kidnappers. Instead, she found that there were many fake trails that were made that led to many different locations in the forest.

This would have proven effective against a normal tracker, but when it came to Brainy, it was less effective.

While Brainy still had to search each one of these false trails since she couldn't tell the fakes from the real trails, Brainy had many different puppets that could track, so she could use multiple groups to check multiple trails.

Eventually, they were able to find the real trail and track down the real kidnappers.

However, these kidnappers were a bit too arrogant.

They were no longer running and had chosen to camp out in the Kunlun Mountains, Ao Qing's territory, just because it had gotten dark. It was as if they were completely looking down on Ao Qing, figuring that he would never be able to track them.

But it wasn't Lin Fan's place to judge as he quickly made his way to the camp of the kidnappers.

However, after he arrived in the vicinity, he didn't immediately attack the camp of the kidnappers. Instead, he sent Brainy's smaller puppets in to start scouting out the camp.

The most important thing was to find Qing Bao Lan since this was a kidnapping case. He had to ensure that she was safe and then figure out a way to safely get her away from the kidnappers before he attacked them.

After all, he didn't want her to be used as a hostage during the fight, or even worse, he didn't want her to end up as an accidental casualty.

So Lin Fan patiently waited for Brainy's puppets to do their thing, but of course it didn't take long since Brainy was already used to doing things like this.

After a few minutes, Brainy said, "It seems like Qing Bao Lan is being tied to a tree a bit away from their campfire and there's a Child Soul Realm beast guarding her."

Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this.

No matter how he looked at it, this was clearly the work of amateurs since they didn't even properly secure their hostages.

As for the Child Soul Realm beast, that wasn't a threat to Lin Fan at all.

But that didn't mean that there wasn't any threat in the camp at all.

Brainy then reported, "There's two Child Soul Realm Experts and a Nascent Soul Realm Expert currently sitting at the camp. It seems like they haven't set up any alarms in the area and they are currently drinking wine."

Lin Fan shook his head again, but he focused himself as he looked down at the layout of the camp that Brainy had drawn on the ground.

In the center of the camp were the three kidnappers who were around the campfire and to the side, there was Qing Bao Lan who had been tied to a tree.

Lin Fan had already expected that there would be a Nascent Soul Realm Expert among these kidnappers, otherwise it would be very hard for them to sneak into Qing Ao's palace without being noticed.

If this was before, this Nascent Soul Realm Expert would have been a problem for him, but now…

So the only thing that he really needed to consider was how to get Qing Bao Lan free.

What surprised him was that Xiao Feng had suddenly volunteered to rescue Qing Bao Lan.

Xiao Feng jumped out in front of Lin Fan and said in a firm voice, "I want to save Xiao Bao Lan myself."

Looking at this little child who was looking up at him with wide eyes filled with determination, Lin Fan really couldn't say no.

He had been planning on using the formation of his five pets to deal with the kidnappers, but since Xiao Feng was this determined to help Qing Bao Lan, it wasn't as if he could say no to him. As for the Child Soul Realm beast that guarded Qing Bao Lan, he wasn't worried about whether Xiao Feng could beat it or not.

Xiao Feng was already in the Peak Child Soul Realm from his training over this period of time, so it would be simple for him to beat that Child Soul Realm beast.

As Lin Fan looked at Xiao Feng standing there in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride. This was a sense of pride that came from watching one's child grow up and Lin Fan was feeling it now.

He had been affected by Angela treating the pets as children, so now, he even started looking at them like they were his kids.

Since that was decided, Lin Fan decided that he would give Xiao Feng the best backup that he could and sent the rest of his pets along with Xiao Feng.

It wasn't as if he didn't have other ways of dealing with the Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

So after the five kids had gathered, they were about to set off to rescue Qing Bao Lan, but before they went, Lin Fan suddenly had an idea.

He stopped the kids and suddenly pulled out five different coloured pieces of cloth from his Storage Ring. After he pulled these pieces of cloth out, he bent down and tied a piece of cloth to the arm of each of his pets.

He had given them a red, blue, green, yellow, and pink piece of cloth respectively.

The kids excitedly looked at the cloth that had been tied to their arms and they even did a superhero pose after receiving them. Then with a final wave, the kids headed off into the forest to go and rescue Qing Bao Lan.

As for Lin Fan, he just watched them disappear before remaining on the spot.

He couldn't help thinking of those hero shows that he had watched a long time ago.

Of course, that wasn't the only reason that he had remained there.

He had also sent one of Brainy's puppets to go with the kids to watch over them. At the same time, he was waiting for the kids to start their plan before he started making his move as well.

Once the kids made their move, they would certainly make enough noise that it would attract the attention of the kidnappers.

Once the kidnappers were alerted, they would immediately go over to check on their hostage.

That was when Lin Fan was planning on making his move.

He was protecting the kids, but at the same time, he chose to make them bait so he could catch the kidnappers off guard.
