Lin Tianming's words came out with a stern look on his face as he gazed sharply at Tang Xiuping, as if he could see through the thoughts in Tang Xiuping's heart.
At that moment, Tang Xiuping, seeing Lin Tianming's expression, couldn't help but force a bitter smile.
Immediately afterward, Tang Xiuping let out a slight sigh and then began to explain.
"Elder Lin, I have personally investigated the location of the Heyuan Fruit Tree."
"At that time, there was a Third Order Medium Stage Demonic Beast guarding it. I used some methods to temporarily paralyze the beast and then sneaked in. I only got a fleeting glimpse, but the tree should indeed exist and be about to ripen."
"As for why I did not request help from my family, as Elder Lin questioned, it's not that I hadn't considered it."
"In fact, that was my initial plan!"
"However, with the Heyuan Fruit about to ripen and the risk of its exposure at any time, there's no way I can wait for the support of the family elders."
