Ling Zhenfei was extremely anxious himself, thinking about how he should get to Moergawa. Though there weren't many things here, there were still plenty of maps. Ling Zhenfei found a map and took a look, discovering that flying from an airport in southern Huaxia to Sydney and then taking a ship to Moergawa was the fastest route.

Of course, there are also flights from Capital City to Sydney, but the distance is much farther compared to flying from Modu.

However, Ling Zhenfei was truly unfamiliar with the area; the main issue was that he didn't even speak the language.

Ling Zhenfei made a call to Xiao Yaqing. Although it was very late, Xiao Yaqing still picked up the phone.

"Ling Zhenfei, is there any news?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The news is very bad. As I expected, the kidnappers reneged and changed the ransom from RMB to US dollars, so now I have to make a trip to Moershawa."

Xiao Yaqing said, "I was just looking online about Moershawa. If you're going, flying to Sydney and then taking a ship to Moershawa is the best option."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've also looked at the maps, but there's another issue: I don't know English. I'm not sure if I can find Chinese people after I get there; otherwise, it would be difficult to even buy a ticket for the ship."

Xiao Yaqing said, "No worries, I'm familiar with Australia, I'll go with you — I know English very well."

Ling Zhenfei thought about it, having Xiao Yaqing accompany would indeed make things easier, as long as he placed Xiao Yaqing in a safe location, it would save much trouble.

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you have no other commitments, it would be best for you to come along."

Xiao Yaqing said, "I'll get ready immediately; we'll stay in touch."

After the two hung up the phone, Su Yuwei appeared, jogging over and looking quite anxious.

"Mr. Ling, I helped you apply for a plane to send you; where do you want to go?"

Ling Zhenfei was shocked internally; it seemed Su Yuwei's connections were indeed formidable, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to apply for a fighter jet escort so easily.

Ling Zhenfei said, "How far can it take me?"

Su Yuwei said, "You should talk to the pilot; it's all approved anyway."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Can it fly directly to Moergawa?"

Su Yuwei rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's already good enough that you can fly domestically, don't dream of flying abroad."

Ling Zhenfei was just teasing Su Yuwei; how could he not understand the reasons why flying out wouldn't be easy?

He followed Su Yuwei towards the distant vehicle. When they reached outside, the same car from before was already waiting.

Ling Zhenfei said to Su Yuwei, "Thank you really; you saved me a lot of hassle."

Su Yuwei said, "The one who should be thanking is me; you saved my father. I will always remember you."

Without saying another word, Ling Zhenfei boarded the car, and the driver, without speaking, accelerated towards the destination, presumably heading to the same airport as last time.

The Su Family surely has a very good relationship with the military; otherwise, such a route wouldn't have been approved. But Ling Zhenfei's status is special; after all, he was personally met by a top leader, which makes him different.

Soon, the car arrived at the same airport as before; a fighter jet was already waiting. This time, Ling Zhenfei was already very accustomed to it, and he did everything much faster thanks to last time's experience.

"Where do you need to go?" the pilot asked Ling Zhenfei aboard the plane.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Fly south, ideally to Modu."

The pilot glanced at him and said, "Modu might be unreachable — not enough fuel — but I'll do my best to head south, to the airport closest to Modu."

"Thanks a lot, really."

Once Ling Zhenfei was settled, the plane took off, with the speed truly fast, the sonic booms echoed constantly.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but be amazed, thinking the nation's power was truly growing stronger, even the fighter jets were so advanced.

The sonic boom is the explosion-like sound created when surpassing the speed of sound, very loud; fortunately, Ling Zhenfei wore headphones, which was quite decent.

After some indeterminate amount of time passed, the pilot said, "We can only land at this airport, about two hundred kilometers away from Modu; by car, it should be fast."

"Alright, that's already very much appreciated."

After landing, arrangements were already made, with a military vehicle waiting below, transporting Ling Zhenfei to Modu directly.

Thus, with a hurried journey, he finally reached Modu airport before dawn.

Xiao Yaqing had already pre-purchased the ticket to Sydney; Ling Zhenfei picked an empty corner at the airport to wait for Xiao Yaqing's arrival.

After a night of rushing about, Ling Zhenfei surprisingly felt a bit tired, suspecting it was due to the fighter jet ride; otherwise, as a cultivator, he shouldn't feel fatigued.

Seeing it was still early, he decided to rest a bit, and thus fell asleep.

Despite it being during the New Year period, the airport was far from empty; Ling Zhenfei slept peacefully since his body had a reflexive defense mechanism — his Divine Sense could sense danger.

But when Ling Zhenfei awoke, he discovered a piece of clothing had been draped over him — a woman's garment.

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat amazed that his defensive mechanism didn't activate; with a slight sniff, he could detect a faint woman's fragrance on it.

Ling Zhenfei was curious as to who might have covered him with this garment; perhaps Xiao Yaqing had arrived, but he did not see her nearby.

Then, suddenly, a woman came over from afar, carrying some snacks in her hands.

"You're finally awake; sleeping here without covers, do you want to get sick?"

This woman seemed about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old; her clothing wasn't particularly glamorous but was very clean, and she wore a light makeup, looking quite natural.

Her voice was pleasant, soft, with a hint of gentle reproach.

"You covered me with the clothes, thank you very much! May I know your name?"

The girl smiled and said, "I'm called Li Hao. What's your name?"

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "You're Li Hao, I'm called 'Thank you,' we're quite similar." After saying this, the two laughed together.

Meeting by chance is already destiny; why should one know the other's name anyhow? It seemed like this was probably what the girl thought too.

"I bought you some breakfast, have some; it should warm you up." The girl handed the breakfast to Ling Zhenfei, and he accepted without hesitation.

"Are you also heading to Sydney?"

Ling Zhenfei was rather curious about why this girl would travel abroad during the New Year.

The girl nodded, "Indeed, it should be pretty much the same timing being at the airport now; this is the first flight."

"During New Year, why not spend it with family instead of going abroad?" Ling Zhenfei asked his underlying question.

The girl laughed but there was a touch of sadness in her smile, "Not everyone has a home; I, for example, am someone without a home."
