If Xu Fan were still awake, he would realize that among the shadows standing beside him, most are his acquaintances: there's Elder Mu, Elder Yi, the old man from the library, and another elderly man with white hair.
The four old men all gaze at Xu Fan, as if evaluating a rare treasure.
The one who just slapped Lin Hong was Song Ling'er, standing beside Elder Yi.
When Song Ling'er sought out Elder Yi for help, he was sound asleep, immovable even by thunder. Just as Song Ling'er was growing increasingly anxious, Elder Yi abruptly opened his eyes, sent a message, and then rushed with Song Ling'er to Xu Fan's side.
Although Song Ling'er didn't know why Elder Yi was holding back, she heard Lin Hong and the others' conversation clearly. Even Elder Yi slightly furrowed his brow as he looked in Lin Hong's direction.
Finally, as Lin Hong was about to attack Xu Fan, several figures hurriedly arrived at the base, and Elder Yi revealed himself with Song Ling'er.
