Chapter 244: Appointment
Although Mi Tao and the withered old man were only suppressed by one simple stage, the withered old man is after all a member of the Demonized Organization, a great evil organization that has been passed down for thousands, tens of thousands of years. There's no telling what special Cultivation Techniques they might possess.
Therefore, it is quite normal for Mi Tao to be beaten without any power to fight back.
At the same time, Zhu Bufan also learned that in this world, there are masters at the peak of the Heavenly Sensing Stage, but whether there are masters at the Soul Transformation Stage or higher is not very clear.
But then, Mi Tao revealed another piece of information to Zhu Bufan; in this world, there exists a group of hermit families, some of whom have been in seclusion for a thousand years, and some even for ten thousand years. Therefore, whether there are any masters at the Soul Transformation Stage or higher among these hermit families remains an unknown.
As long as these hermit families do not emerge, you can pretty much do as you wish in this world once you reach the Heavenly Sensing Stage; no one can do anything to you, not even a country.
Zhu Bufan also learned that currently, in the entire Huaxia Country, the publicly highest Realm belongs to the first person of the Anping Organization, who is Mi Tao's team leader, currently at the peak of the Early Stage of the Heavenly Sensing Stage.
Of course, such a person would not appear unless the country is in the utmost crisis, even if all members of the Anping Organization were to be annihilated, he would not emerge.
After all, the members of the Anping Organization are batch after batch.
Even if this batch all sacrificed, there would be a new batch of fresh blood filling in.
Suddenly, Zhu Bufan also felt the cruelty and irony, but it was understandable, serving the country comes with sacrifices and dedications; if you were afraid of sacrifice and dedication, you shouldn't have joined in the first place.
Because the two talked until two in the morning, Zhu Bufan ended up staying there.
During that period, Mi Cai did come to the study room once and saw that the two were passionately conversing, so she did not disturb them.
The moment after the two finished talking, Mi Tao took Zhu Bufan to a room, which was Mi Cai's bedroom.
"Bufan, now that you and my daughter are engaged, there shouldn't be any issue staying together. This room is my daughter's room. Whether you decide to go in or not, it's up to you!" After saying this, Mi Tao didn't give Zhu Bufan any chance to object and then directly left.
Watching Mi Tao almost running away, Zhu Bufan felt so frustrated! That old guy, really was trying his best just to let him do that thing with his daughter.
Now it was past two in the morning, the Mi Family's villa was far from the city, he doesn't have a car, how could he possibly leave the Mi Family's villa at this hour.
Take a taxi?
That was nearly impossible, because in the villa area, where would a taxi appear, using online tools to order a ride was a no-go, as they didn't allow external vehicles to enter the area.
So Zhu Bufan was quite troubled all of a sudden.
Now everyone in the Mi Family was probably asleep, even the servants of the Mi Family might be asleep.
Standing outside Mi Cai's room, Zhu Bufan hesitated, not knowing what to do. His mind was constantly deliberating, whether to knock on the door or not?
After pondering for about ten minutes, Zhu Bufan braced himself. He raised his hand, ready to knock.
"Hmm?" Zhu Bufan felt strange.
Just as he raised his hand to knock, the door inexplicably opened by itself.
Saying it opened was a bit much, it was more like it was cracked open slightly.
Through the crack, Zhu Bufan saw that it was pitch black inside, probably Mi Cai had already gone to sleep.
"Ah! Forget it, I'll just go downstairs and sleep on the sofa in the living room for a few hours!" Zhu Bufan shook his head, preparing to turn around and leave.
"Click…" a sound.
The light in Mi Cai's room suddenly turned on.
Zhu Bufan instinctively stopped in his tracks. A voice came from the room:
"Come in, Zhu Bufan."
"Huh?" Zhu Bufan felt very perplexed.
By the time Zhu Bufan was feeling utterly confused, the door was already fully open.
Mi Cai was standing at the entrance, dressed in a set of loose beige pajamas.
"Come in," Mi Cai said.
"Nari?" Zhu Bufan was even more bewildered.
"Is this what it comes to?"
At this moment, Zhu Bufan didn't know whether to be excited, thrilled, or shocked; he couldn't fathom how to express his feelings.
Although Zhu Bufan indeed wanted to bed this icy woman, Mi Cai, that would only be appropriate if there were mutual feelings and consent.
But clearly, this was not the case.
Suddenly, Zhu Bufan felt exceedingly uncomfortable.
Eventually, Zhu Bufan chose to turn around and dash downstairs.
Leaving Mi Cai, who was clueless about what had transpired, standing dazed at the door.
......
The next day, Zhu Bufan had an elderly lady from the Mi Family, likely a cook, summon the family driver to take him back to the Sheraton Hotel.
However, when Zhu Bufan returned to the Sheraton Hotel, he discovered that his martial brothers and sisters had already left, each leaving him a letter.
The general content of the letters explained that since they had gotten engaged, they would not participate in this mission and were very sorry for missing his engagement but would definitely attend his wedding.
Zhou Xin mentioned in his letter that a boxer would contact him at some point to assign him relevant tasks, and advised him not to try and contact his martial brothers and sisters to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Having read these letters, Zhu Bufan felt quite helpless.
"Damn it, couldn't you guys just call or text me! What if the cleaning lady had thrown these letters out as trash! Are you guys even living in the modern world?"
Just then, Zhu Bufan's phone started ringing.
"Ding-dong-ding, dong-ding-ding..."
Zhu Bufan was puzzled; could it be that, as he suspected, they had finally decided to give him a call?
He checked his phone: the caller ID surprisingly showed Long Na, who he hadn't heard from in several days.
"Hello! Zhu Bufan, do you have time today? My father has decided to meet you," Long Na's voice came through as soon as Zhu Bufan pressed the answer button.
Hearing this, Zhu Bufan grew even more puzzled.
After so many days without news, they suddenly wanted to meet him right after his fight against the black-robed man and the dried-up old man. Was this a sincere meeting or was there an ulterior motive? Zhu Bufan couldn't be sure.
It wasn't that Zhu Bufan didn't trust Long Na, but her father was involved with the Demonized Organization, and Zhu Bufan couldn't help but be cautious.
"Hello, Zhu Bufan, are you going to say something?"
