After reading Shi Bingying's letter, Qin Hao's face was calm, but his calm face would twitch from time to time, making the Baldy, who was standing by his side feel afraid and worried.
The thing he was afraid of was that Qin Hao would suddenly erupt, and the thing he was worried about was that something would happen to him. He didn't know what Shi Bingying had written in her letter that made Qin Hao have such a strange reaction.
Qin Hao's next reaction made him even more worried. The letter had been crumpled into a ball in his hand, and from the veins on his head, one could tell that he was crazily trying to crush the letter. In the end, Qin Hao even started grinding his teeth, as traces of green smoke emitted from the center of his palm.
"Ins, instructor, are you alright?"Baldy worriedly asked.
Qin Hao did not answer, he only extended his hand, and the letter immediately turned into a cloud of dust that floated down.
"Instructor, you …?"
"Tell Li Zhanwu, I'll be heading out. Let him return to the capital first." Qin Hao interrupted the Baldy's words. The voice was terrifyingly cold.
Hearing that, the Baldy got anxious. Once he went out, how should he explain to Li Zhanwu when he comes back?
"Instructor, whatever it is, could you decide after General Li returns? Otherwise …!"
"Shut up!" Qin Hao roared, scaring the Baldy, what was even more terrifying was Qin Hao's current expression, his fists were tightly clenched, his eyes were glaring fiercely, and his pupils seemed to be burning with a berserk rage.
The Baldy could imagine that Qin Hao definitely wanted to beat him up ruthlessly, but he had controlled himself and did not do it. He should have handed over the letter earlier, but it would not be him if he did so.
"Instructor, I'm sorry, I did not expect that the matter would be so serious, but Miss Shi had already told me what to do about the letter, so I …!" the Baldy wanted to explain.
"Are you a dumb pig? You …!" Qin Hao really wanted to scold Baldy, but he knew the personality of Baldy, and it was already not easy that he could take it out now, so in the end, Qin Hao could only suppress his anger. He waved his arms fiercely, turned, and rushed out.
"Instructor, where are you going?"The Baldy ran after him at his top speed, but how could he run as fast as Qin Hao? By the time he got out, Qin Hao had already disappeared.
"Captain, what happened? Why did the instructor rush out?" Liu Yan and the others rushed out from the other rooms and asked the Baldy curiously.
The baldy didn't have time to explain to them, "Wait here for General Li, I'll go after Instructor Qin."
"I'll go too." Liu Yan also wanted to run out, but she was stopped by Nie Jingshan.
"You're injured, you should just wait here." Nie Jingshan and the others advised, "Besides, with the speed of our instructor, we won't be able to catch up."
Liu Yan also knew her own situation. Forget about her being injured and not fully recovered, even if she wasn't hurt, it was impossible for her to catch up with the instructor. She was just worried about where the instructor was heading to.
Qin Hao pushed his speed to the extreme, ordinary people on the road would not even be able to see his existence. After running for a while, he arrived at the familiar mountain forest outside of Changhai City.
Since Shi Bingying had come here before, her smell would definitely linger here. Hopefully, Little Monster would smell some clues, and help him find Shi Bingying.
Little Monster was released from the spatial ring. Ever since the Baldy bought a bunch of oxygen bags, the spatial ring became the temporary home of Little Monster, where it could use oxygen bags to breath.
However, it had been suffering inside. There were huge spirit stones inside, arousing its appetite. Although they were low-level ones, they were still Spirit Stones after all. However, Qin Hao ordered it not to touch those Spirit Stones, so it could only watch and not eat. It would lick the stones when it really couldn't control anymore, of course, it was unavoidable for it to lick off a corner or some angles of the Spirit Stones. They could not be wasted, either, as it would swallow all of them into its stomach.
Under Qin Hao's instructions, Little Monster increased its sense of smell to the maximum, and after scurrying around the forest for a while, it finally caught a whiff of Shi Bingying's scent.
Little Monster had stayed with Shi Bingying before, so it's familiar with her scent.
Qin Hao followed the scent all the way with Little Monster until they reached the inn where Shi Bingying and the rest stayed.
At the hotel counter, a waitress was busy registering something when she felt the light darken in front of her eyes. She knew a customer had come in. Following her professional habits, she hurriedly put down her pen and stood up. She didn't even see the appearance of the incoming guests before she bowed, "Welcome, may I …?" The waitress's face suddenly froze, shock and disbelief filled her eyes, "You, you are Qin Hao?"
Qin Hao also didn't expect to meet someone he was familiar with here. This pretty and delicate waitress was the school beauty of the East Asia Normal School he had studied in, Lin Meiqiao. He had even mischievously written a special love letter to her and then saved her from the school tyrant.
It's been half a year since they last saw each other. Though it was just a short half a year, Qin Hao felt as if half a century had passed. Recalling his previous life on campus, he felt like he had been separated from it as if everything in school was very far away from him now.
"Schoolmate Lin Meiqiao, it's you, why are you here?" Qin Hao smiled and asked.
Lin Meiqiao had not recovered from the shock yet, but Qin Hao's current change had shocked her too much. At this moment, Qin Hao was wearing a handsome military uniform, adding to his current increase in the realm as a Martial Cultivator, he gave off an ethereal and refined temperament, making him look even more adventurous and extraordinary, with an imposing air that practically no girls could resist.
"Schoolmate Lin, Lin Meiqiao?" Qin Hao raised his voice, and Lin Meiqiao finally reacted.
"Oh, oh, sorry." Lin Meiqiao's beautiful face slightly blushed, and said with a tone of disbelief: "You, you're really Qin Hao?"
"I am Qin Hao." Qin Hao nodded in confirmation.
"Then why are you looking like this? Are you a soldier now?" In Lin Meiqiao's memory, Qin Hao seemed to have committed some sort of crime and was wanted, and he disappeared for half a semester, he could not have become a soldier. Now that she saw him looking like this, she started to suspect if the military uniform that Qin Hao was wearing was a fake one bought from a shop in the street, shops were selling these things in the street.
This could only be attributed to her eyesight. The shops in the street were all selling knockoff goods, and there were differences between them and real military uniforms. Of course, only a professional would be able to identify at a glance.
Qin Hao didn't know how to answer Lin Meiqiao's question, and he was unable to explain to an ordinary girl like her what happened to him during this period. Thus, he could only change the topic and ask: "Don't ask about me, why are you working here? Don't you need to attend class?"
Lin Meiqiao sweated. Seems like Qin Hao had left the school for too long, he did not even know that it was winter vacation now. "It's winter vacation right now, I came here to work as a social practice, to experience life in the society in advance."
"Oh, I see. That's good." Qin Hao nodded his head in admiration, then turned to the question he wanted to ask, "Right, can I see the registration book of guests staying in your hotel recently? I am looking for someone."
"Err...?" Lin Meiqiao was in a difficult situation. According to the rules of the hotel, they could not casually let other people see the registration book, they could not casually leak out the guests' information, but seeing Qin Hao's enchanting gaze, she became confused, and without caring about anything else, seeing that there were no other people around, she immediately took out the registration book.
These formal hotels all required ID card numbers when checking in, as well as names and other information. Qin Hao picked up the registration book to look through the records of the last few days, and as expected, he saw Shi Bingying's name.
Qin Hao controlled the excitement in his heart, pointed to Shi Bingying's name and asked: "Does this person still live here?"
Looking at the name Qin Hao had pointed to, Lin Meiqiao's heartbeat. She raised her head at taking a look at Qin Hao, her heart felt uncomfortable for some reason. So he was here looking for this magnificent beauty.
She had paid particular attention to Shi Bingying, so she had a deep impression of her.
Because Shi Bingying was just too beautiful, from her temperament to her appearance, she did not seem like an ordinary mortal person, but a fairy from the heavens.
She, who had always been called "School Beauty," believed that her beauty would not be less than any other girls, and even if she lost, it would not be by much. However, after seeing Shi Bingying, her opinion changed drastically. In comparison with Shi Bingying, she lost by a considerable distance, no matter in appearance or in temperament.
"You know her?" Lin Meiqiao didn't answer but asked a question in reply.
Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, she is a friend of mine. Have you ever seen her before?"
"I have, but they left together this morning." Lin Meiqiao's answer made Qin Hao frown.
"They left this morning. Where did they go?" Qin Hao asked anxiously.
Lin Meiqiao thought for a while, "Well, I heard some of them muttering, they seemed to be going to some Banyan City."
"Banyan City?" Qin Hao felt that it was a little familiar when he heard the name as if he had heard it from someone before, and he heard about it just these days. Oh right, Ye Tianping.
Ye Tianping had once said that he would go to Banyan City to save his daughter Ye Siyu, so Qin Hao had told Liu Yan to buy plane tickets. In the end, Liu Yan left and didn't come back. He then had to go out to look for her, and what happened after that went out of everybody's expectation.
"Uncle Ping, not good." Qin Hao suddenly thought of Ye Tianping, and anxiously shouted out. Under Lin Meiqiao's surprised gaze, he instantly disappeared, and it was as if he was playing magic, causing Lin Meiqiao to not react for a long time, as if the talk with him just now was just a dream and that Qin Hao had never actually appeared.
Qin Hao quickly rushed over to the inn that he and Ye Tianping had stayed in before, and the people at the hotel replied that Ye Tianping had already checked out yesterday afternoon, leaving a message when he checked out. When the waiters were cleaning the rooms, they saw the news and kept it. Now that Qin Hao had come, they handed it to him.
Qin Hao looked at the message, and a few words were written on it. The gist of it was that Ye Tianping couldn't wait anymore and had gone to Banyan City by himself.
Ye Tianping had gone to Banyan City, and now that Shi Bingying and the others had also gone to Banyan City, Qin Hao had no choice. Whether it was to find Shi Bingying or to help Ye Tianping, he had to go to Banyan City immediately.
But it was already dark. Was there still a plane to Banyan City?
Qin Hao was fortunate. Originally, Banyan City was just an ordinary second-tier city. There weren't many flights from Changhai to that city, and there were few passengers. So there were only two flights a day, one at 9 am and the other at 4 pm. Due to some reasons, the flight was delayed today. The 4 pm flight could not take off until 7 pm, and Qin Hao was still able to catch it. He immediately got a ticket and boarded the plane.
Just as Qin Hao had just gotten on the plane, Li Zhanwuhad finally arranged a private plane back to the capital. He rushed back to the Defense Hotel excitedly to inform Qin Hao and the others to board the plane to return to the capital immediately.

In the end, Liu Yan left and didn't come back. He then had to go out to look for her, and what happened after that went out of everybody's expectation."Uncle Ping, not good." Qin Hao suddenly thought of Ye Tianping, and anxiously shouted out. Under Lin Meiqiao's surprised gaze, he instantly disappeared, and it was as if he was playing magic, causing Lin Meiqiao to not react for a long time, as if the talk with him just now was just a dream and that Qin Hao had never actually appeared.Qin Hao quickly rushed over to the inn that he and Ye Tianping had stayed in before, and the people at the hotel replied that Ye Tianping had already checked out yesterday afternoon, leaving a message when he checked out. When the waiters were cleaning the rooms, they saw the news and kept it. Now that Qin Hao had come, they handed it to him.Qin Hao looked at the message, and a few words were written on it. The gist of it was that Ye Tianping couldn't wait anymore and had gone to Banyan City by himself.Ye Tianping had gone to Banyan City, and now that Shi Bingying and the others had also gone to Banyan City, Qin Hao had no choice. Whether it was to find Shi Bingying or to help Ye Tianping, he had to go to Banyan City immediately.But it was already dark. Was there still a plane to Banyan City?Qin Hao was fortunate. Originally, Banyan City was just an ordinary second-tier city. There weren't many flights from Changhai to that city, and there were few passengers. So there were only two flights a day, one at 9 am and the other at 4 pm. Due to some reasons, the flight was delayed today. The 4 pm flight could not take off until 7 pm, and Qin Hao was still able to catch it. He immediately got a ticket and boarded the plane.Just as Qin Hao had just gotten on the plane, Li Zhanwuhad finally arranged a private plane back to the capital. He rushed back to the Defense Hotel excitedly to inform Qin Hao and the others to board the plane to return to the capital immediately.
