Although Xu Yunfan's kick wasn't ruthless, he definitely didn't intend to show any mercy.
He landed a firm foot on Junior Sister Fei, his movements crisp and clear, without a moment's delay, clearly showing no intention of holding back.
This scene nearly caused Qin Bo to lose control of his emotions, his blood boiling, and he was about to rush forward to fight Xu Yunfan to the death.
He knew in his heart that if Junior Sister Fei were to suffer any harm, he would be the one who would be held responsible and would die. Fei
Qi, the leader of the Jingtao Sect, would definitely use him as a target.
Xu Yunfan was also very depressed at this moment.
He had just casually purchased a yard, but who would have thought it was the residence of a highly accomplished martial artist who had returned home in glory, and who even wanted to redeem it.
Actually, there was an empty yard next door. Although the location was a little worse, it wasn't unacceptable to Xu Yunfan.
If Qin Bo had come politely, explained his intentions in a friendly manner, and offered adequate compensation, he might have seriously considered selling the yard.
But Qin Bo, on the other hand, came in shouting for war and killing, and when he saw he was no match for him, he immediately changed his attitude.
Xu Yunfan thought to himself, if it were an ordinary person, if a great martial artist asked for your newly bought house, you wouldn't dare to say a word.
I'm afraid you've been completely tricked by Qin Bo, and you've got nothing to lose and no way to complain.
Qin Bo's face turned pale and blue, knowing full well that the man before him was clearly unwilling to give up easily.
But it was also Junior Sister Fei who was in the wrong first. She was shouting for war and killing with a long sword in hand. Who could withstand it without force?
After a moment's silence, he gritted his teeth and uttered with difficulty, "Junior Sister Fei has banknotes on her. Brother, please pick out five hundred taels and take them as our apology."
Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow at this. He hadn't expected Qin Bo to be so forgiving. It was truly surprising.
He pondered for a moment, then, under Qin Bo's almost twisted gaze, reached into Junior Sister Fei's arms and, as expected, pulled out a stack of banknotes.
He glanced at it casually and saw that most of the notes were in denominations of a hundred taels. The thick stack was quite eye-catching.
Xu Yunfan pocketed the banknotes without hesitation. Seeing this, Qin Bo grew anxious and said in a deep voice, "Brother, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Xu Yunfan sneered and retorted, "What do you mean by unreasonable? Besides the apology fee, there's also compensation for my mental damage, lost wages, nutrition, psychological counseling, daily operating expenses, lost time, and everything else. Add it all up, and this money isn't enough! I'm only considering you're new and unsophisticated. Otherwise, why would I give up so easily?"
Qin Bo's forehead was throbbing with a vein, and it took a great effort to suppress his anger. He whispered, "How about this, can you sell me the house?" "I'll think about it
,"
Xu Yunfan replied slowly.
Qin Bo swallowed his anger and agreed without hesitation.
Watching Xu Yunfan remove his foot from Junior Sister Fei's belly and step back, Qin Bo didn't dare slack off. He glanced at Xu Yunfan warily before stepping forward and scooping Junior Sister Fei up.
"Brother, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged, the green waters flow forever. I'll visit you another day!"
Watching Qin Bo's swift retreat, Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered, and he remained silent.
He knew that the presence of such a reckless and murderous character, the so-called "visit another day," was a thorn in his side.
Simply put, it made him unable to sleep or eat.
But this Jingtao Sect...
Xu Yunfan sighed inwardly, shutting himself in his room, expecting disaster to strike from the sky.
Once Qin Bo turned a corner and disappeared from view, Xu Yunfan acted decisively and followed without hesitation.
He knew that a real fight with Qin Bo here would be incredibly noisy.
A martial artist who has mastered the art can easily break stone and shatter monuments. If he can't crush the opponent with overwhelming force, a commotion could damage surrounding buildings. If it attracts the attention of the authorities, the identity of his predecessor could be discovered. He must find another way; a quiet and silent solution is the simplest and most effective.
Avoiding conflict would be best, of course.
But remembering the girl's fierce demeanor, he felt the situation likely wouldn't resolve peacefully. Xu Yunfan had learned a profound lesson from his past career.
Xu Yunfan took his time, following Qin Bo at a distance. His hunting skills allowed him to remain undetected while stalking his prey.
Tailing without attracting attention was incredibly easy.
The bustling streets and the piles of debris along the sidewalks served as a shield, allowing him to maintain a comfortable distance from Qin Bo.
Xu Yunfan paused at the street corner, watching calmly as Qin Bo helped Junior Sister Fei into the inn.
After confirming Qin Bo's whereabouts, Xu Yunfan did not linger for long, but quietly turned around and quickly returned to his own house.
-
In the inn, Qin Bo hurriedly placed Fei Yao on the bed, then stood up and stared at her with a complicated expression.
His face was like a jar of seasoning, with all kinds of emotions intertwined, sometimes gloomy as ink, and sometimes with a hint of unpredictable waves.
Along the way, Fei Yao's style of behavior can be described as extremely arrogant and domineering, causing a lot of trouble wherever she went.
Qin Bo followed her and wiped her butts countless times, constantly cleaning up her mess, and he didn't know how much energy he had spent on it.
Especially today's incident, Fei Yao actually took up a sword and wanted to rush into the yard without authorization, completely disregarding the consequences.
In the past, it had been fine. The only people he'd encountered were ordinary people, and he'd just killed them. But now, facing a tough guy like Xu Yunfan, he'd hit a wall.
Qin Bo wondered, if the house couldn't be redeemed, had that person already taken the things hidden in the yard?
At this thought, his gaze fell on the comatose Fei Yao, a subtle glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't help but think of a thought:
find an opportunity to send this junior sister to someone they couldn't afford to offend. With a few provocative words, he could easily deal with this troublemaker.
But the moment the thought came to mind, he hesitated. Fei Yao had Fei Qi behind her. If he did that, what would happen if Fei Qi came after him later?
The more Qin Bo thought about it, the more upset he felt, and a wave of frustration welled up inside him.
He'd originally clung to Fei Yao to join the Jingtao Sect, thinking it would be a path to success, but now it felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, reaping the consequences.
At this moment, Fei Yao moaned, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly woke up.
She drowsily opened her eyes, only to be greeted by Qin Bo's seemingly concerned face.
Seeing her awake, Qin Bo's face immediately filled with concern, and he eagerly asked, "Junior Sister Fei, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Fei Yao felt a flush in her face, and a surge of shyness welled up in her heart.
Hearing the question, she subconsciously clutched her stomach, frowning slightly, feeling it carefully. Then, she gently shook her head and said softly, "It's okay. Although the man's kick was a bit forceful, it wasn't a major injury."
After a pause, Fei Yao inquired, "Did Senior Brother take care of that man?"
