Chapter 713
Yang Fan and the other two were finally rescued.
The search party was enormous, with flashlight beams sweeping across the mountains and fields.
Yang Fan couldn’t count how many people there were, but it looked like there must’ve been at least two or three hundred.
"Master, this kind of turnout is a bit intimidating. Wouldn’t it be rude not to invite the villagers for a meal and some drinks?" Yang Fan whispered to Mr. Fan beside him.
"If you’re willing, hosting a meal isn’t a bad idea," Mr. Fan replied. "I don’t even know where exactly you all got lost. If we didn’t mobilize the entire village to search, how could we have found you with just a few people?"
"You three are really lucky. Falling into such a deep pit without a scratch—unbelievable."
"It truly was luck. The decomposed soil below is very thick," Yang Fan said. "If not for the soil absorbing the impact of our fall, Old Master, you might’ve ended up losing both your precious granddaughter and your prized disciple at the same time."
"Speaking of that, I don’t believe I’ve even settled accounts with you yet," Mr. Fan suddenly glared fiercely at Yang Fan. "I told you just to scout the mountain—why did you have to bring Sisi along?"
"Master, you’ve got to let me explain myself here," Yang Fan responded seriously. "I also thought these dense, remote woods weren’t very suitable for a young girl. But Sisi insisted on coming along, wanting to see the sights, and I couldn’t stop her."
"Sisi isn’t a three- or four-year-old child. I couldn’t just forcibly send her back, so I had no choice but to bring her along."
"That still sounds like your fault!" Mr. Fan bellowed angrily.
