At the same time, the scene when they found Lao Xiao came back to mind.
Zhao Guizhen, Lao Xiao's rival, has been shattered beyond recognition.
Only a complete head remained, still attached to a lamb spine...

Chapter 124 Chen Duo's Choice, Zhang Chulan's Plan!
124.
At dawn, the sound of birdsong echoed through the deep mountains.
Xiao Zizai and the others looked exhausted as they walked out of the mountain.
"Could it be that Feng Tianci has really turned into a squirrel and hidden away? We haven't been able to find a single hair of him all night!"
Hei Guan scratched his messy hair and said with a displeased look.
"More than Feng Tianci, I'd like to know where the Body Cultivation Furnace is." Xiao Zizai glanced around and sighed.
"It's such a big thing, but we've been searching for so long and haven't even seen a trace of it."

"Where exactly did Feng Tianci hide it?!"
Hearing their conversation, everyone's expressions turned somewhat somber.
Zhang Chulan, in particular, had his brows furrowed, looking preoccupied.
Because of the loss of the cultivation furnace, the mission in Biyou Village is essentially half a failure.
At this moment, he had to prepare for the worst and secretly pondered how to deal with Feng Baobao!
But just as they fell silent, Lao Meng, who suffered from social anxiety, suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Everyone, are we really going back like this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in confusion, clearly not understanding what he meant.
"Old Meng, what do you want to say?" Hei Guan asked in a deep voice.
"I..." Old Meng hesitated, glancing first at Chen Duo beside him before slowly saying:
"I was thinking, since we haven't finished our mission yet, could we put Chen Duo's matter aside for now?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head nervously, recalling what had happened the night before.
Actually, after finding Chen Duo last night, they didn't come up with any other solutions; they just planned to hand her over to the company.
While they were resting after failing to find the "body-cultivating furnace," Feng Baobao unexpectedly took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
As for the outcome, just like in the original history, Chen Duo calmly chose to die.
After discussing it, everyone decided to help her fulfill a small wish and take her shopping.
The problem now is that they haven't found the Body Refinement Furnace yet, so their mission isn't complete.
So, should the priority be the task at hand, or should we help Chen Duo, who is also a temporary worker, fulfill her wish?
Old Meng couldn't bear to see Chen Duo die like that, so he mustered up his courage and suggested to everyone that they postpone Chen Duo's matter for the time being!
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, understanding what Old Meng meant.
After a moment, the clarinet sighed and said:
"Old Meng, we must be careful about what we do in this matter."
"Now that the furnace hasn't been found, the higher-ups are probably furious."
“We also took a great risk in agreeing to Chen Duo’s choice, as you should know.”
Upon hearing this, Old Meng's face showed sadness, and he nodded with difficulty.
He understood the reasons behind it all, but he simply couldn't accept them.
The reason for this situation is entirely due to the deviation of historical trajectory.
In the original storyline, the temporary workers did an excellent job of completing their task and bringing the situation to a complete stop.
That's why I dared to risk public condemnation, and out of sympathy for Chen Duo, I let her make the final choice.
But now?
Feng Tianci absconded with the cultivation furnace and disappeared without a trace.
The company's senior management was extremely dissatisfied with this and even ordered them to find Feng Tianci and the Body-Cultivating Furnace and hand them over to the company.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything after a whole night.
Continuing to support Chen Duo's choice now is tantamount to risking being dismissed at any time under the temporary worker system.
The best course of action would be to exonerate Chen Duo as soon as possible and hand over her body to the company, thus providing an explanation.
As for Feng Tianci, the Body-Cultivating Furnace, and the issue of retaining temporary workers, we can only discuss those later.
However, just as everyone was silent, Zhang Chulan suddenly spoke up:
"Actually, everyone, we have another way to find Feng Tianci!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.
Only Wang Zhenqiu seemed to have thought of something, giving Zhang Chulan a deep look, but didn't say anything.
At this moment, Zhang Chulan, without waiting for anyone to ask, continued speaking:
"As the saying goes, you can run away from the monk but not the temple. Since we can't find Feng Tianci, we might as well just go to Mei Jinfeng's house and wait there!"
"Moreover, there are two advantages to doing this."
"Firstly, this would give us an explanation to the company and delay their decision to retain the temporary worker system."
"Secondly, we can have Chen Duo stay with us temporarily. We can say that she has important clues about Feng Tianci, and I don't think the leaders will refuse!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Only Old Meng showed a hopeful look and said somewhat excitedly, "I think Zhang Chulan's idea is good."
"Since Chen Duo has already made her choice, we don't need to rush things."
"Wouldn't it be nice to let her see more of the world's beautiful scenery in her final days?"
Upon hearing this, no one answered; instead, they all looked at Chen Duo.
Clearly, they want this girl to make the choice herself again.
"Hmm... I don't mind, the poison in my body can be suppressed for the time being."
“Since you have important things to do, I can go with you.”
After careful consideration, Chen Duo stated her choice.
At that moment, she also felt a true sense of freedom!
“Alright, since Chen Duo has said so, I agree.” Hei Guan smiled calmly and was the first to express his opinion.
Xiao Zizai shrugged indifferently, tacitly agreeing to the suggestion.
"I'll say it again, it's up to everyone." Wang Zhenqiu maintained his attitude of majority rule.
Old Meng was deeply moved when he saw that everyone agreed, and said with a choked voice, "Thank you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chulan stepped forward and interrupted him:
"Alright, Brother Meng, everyone has agreed, so there's no need for formalities."
"The issue we should be discussing now is... how to find Mei Jinfeng."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Wang Zhenqiu.
At the same time, everyone else also looked over.
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhenqiu sighed inwardly, knowing that this shameless man was up to no good!
"Alright, everyone, come with me."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he readily agreed and turned to walk out of the mountain.
Everyone exchanged smiles and quickly followed behind.
At the very back, Zhang Chulan looked at the united group and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
That's right, that's it!
It would be such a waste to let Chen Duo, this poisonous flower, die now!
As long as she's around, she'll amplify your sympathy to an infinite degree!
The feeling of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death" will be even more deeply etched in your hearts!
In addition, Feng Tianci's matter has become a suitable mediator, making you more united!
Brother Feng!
Although I used to criticize you behind your back, this time, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Zhang Chulan felt relieved as he watched Feng Baobao walking with the others.
However, just after they left, two masked assassins slowly emerged from the ground.
"Go immediately and inform everyone. Follow them and go find Feng Tianci!"
