Chapter 8, one must look left and right when boasting
"Alright." Qin Qinghe smiled, "Then you go back and bring some money, I have use for it. You know that my elder brother has no money, I will be waiting for you here." Tian Fan cheered and dashed out in a flash
With a casual glance, he said: "See, I told you so! If you weren't confident about defeating him, you should be thanking me on behalf of your ancestors for the past eighteen generations! You clearly have confidence!"
Qin Qinghe looked at her arrogant demeanor and, in a moment of urgency, felt an overwhelming desire to impart nearly twenty years of experience in the martial world to her, hoping to spare her from future setbacks. Just as the words were about to leave his lips, he suddenly stopped, recalling that Tian Fan had no martial arts skills and was not a person of the martial world; she was the daughter of a dignified naval commander. What possibility was there that she would have the same experiences of navigating the martial world, establishing connections, and struggling through hardships? In the future, when she mentioned the name of Zhang Zhenren to her friends from official families, those young masters and ladies would not even know who she was referring to.

Could the martial world experiences that he had risked his life to acquire be of any use to her?
She wrapped around like a piece of cotton candy: a voice called out: "Brother Qin—! Brother Qin—! Having known you for so long and seen you take action so many times, I still don't know how high your martial arts skills are. Please tell me, how much stronger are you than Huo Huaiyu? Just say it, just say it! I don't even need you to fight him, just talking about it will suffice, right?"
Hehe, cheer up, cheer up! I rub my eyes... Look, I am awake, I am awake! Don't believe me? Just look at how wide my eyes are. Can you turn back and take a glance at me? Just one glance! ... Alright, alright, if you won't look, then fine, just focus on the road! Look at the road! After a while, Ba Ya quietly leaned his cheek closer, stopping just half an inch away from Qin Qinghe's neck, making a gesture as if to stick close, feeling the warmth of Qin Qinghe's skin, and contentedly closed his eyes.
However, the gentle expression gradually faded away. Qin Qinghe clenched his teeth and said sternly: "Tian Fan, you are home! Go put on your shoes properly. We are going to the Huoyou Escort Agency. After we deal with Huo Huaiyu, we will part ways!" With that, he let Tian Fan down.
"It's nothing." Qin Qinghe said calmly as he withdrew his gaze, "Tian Fan, you should head home first. I have a small matter to attend to, and I will definitely come to find you later"
Qin Qinghe felt uncomfortable under her gaze, taking a step back and furrowing his brows
Qin Qinghe shook her off a few times but was entangled by her again, so he said irritably: "Alright, alright, alright, I am the best in the world, Huo Huaiyu is no match for me, defeating Huo Huaiyu is just a matter of moving my finger! Are you satisfied now?" Tian Fan was very satisfied and smiled.
At that moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded in Qin Qinghe's ear. The voice was not loud, yet it seemed to resonate as if it were right next to his ear
"Really, really, I have never seen such a verbose hero like you!" Tian Fan's face turned slightly red: "Considering that you still care about me, I won't need you to fight with Huo Mumu anymore"
Tian Fan approached him and scrutinized his face: "Brother Qin? Are you concerned about me?"
Tian Fan held his breath on Qin Qinghe's back, slowly leaning down, and gently pressed his warm cheek against Qin Qinghe's. Just at the moment their cheeks touched, Qin Qinghe suddenly leaped forward. Tian Fan instinctively tilted his head back, immediately realizing he had been discovered, and forced a laugh: "You see me... I almost fell asleep."
Qin Qinghe gritted his teeth and said: "I thank you on behalf of the eighteen generations of Huo Huaiyu's ancestors"
Tian Fan shivered for a moment, but then smiled: "Look, look! You speak with such confidence, letting you spar with Huo Mumu is definitely a favor to you. Brother Qin, you are cunning; you keep saying how formidable Huo Mumu is, making me think I would finally see you showcase some real skills this time. But it will surely just be a matter of you flicking your fingers to send that kid away! Oh dear, I am so foolish; one should be able to tell whether martial arts are good or not just by looking. Brother Qin, you have such an extraordinary physique, while Huo Mumu's face is as square as if it had been planed by a carpenter, looking clumsy at first glance. How could he possibly compete with you?"
Tian Fan smiled and said, "Let's go, I will treat you to some snacks at the Vice Building!"
Qin Qinghe's eyes lit up; aside from the unfortunate state of Tian Fan's teeth, the upper half of his face was quite pleasant to look at. They had been together for many years, and how could Qin Qinghe not be captivated? However, he clearly knew what he should do, so he withdrew his gaze and said淡淡的道: "Are you ready? Let's go."
Qin Qinghe's heart rang with alarm, and he immediately said: "Hey, listen carefully! I mean if someone bullies you, I will help you; but if you bully others, I won't get involved!"
Qin Qinghe only felt relieved after watching her run far away. He took a deep breath and strode towards the street corner. Little did he know that as Tian Fan turned the corner, she immediately stopped in her tracks, secretly laughing: "Brother Qin, do you think you can shake me off? I stopped playing such tricks when I was ten!" She covered half of her face with a fan and quietly sneaked back, only daring to follow at a distance.
Tian Fan, with a playful smile, said: "Are you afraid that I will suffer a loss? You have a good conscience! You need not worry, the Tianshan Mountains are a hundred thousand and eight thousand miles away, and Zhang Zhenren's ears are even longer than a pig's, he won't hear a thing"
Tian Fan shook his head vigorously without hesitation: "I'm just kidding, I'm not going home. Your little matter must be significant; I want to go along and see the excitement!"
She stamped her foot and said, "No, Qin brother, you are too unreasonable. Why don't you go find Huo Mumu? Instead, go look for his master, Old Zhang. Perhaps you could hit him a few more times."
Tian Fan let out a chuckle.
Tian Fan inexplicably pushed him and said: "Brother Qin, what is wrong with you?"
The voice echoed in his ears: "You two go ahead, I will wait in the alley at the street corner." Qin Qinghe felt cold sweat streaming down; since he had been wandering the martial world, he had never encountered such a master.
Who! Qin Qinghe's heart suddenly tightened, and he abruptly raised his head, straining his eyes to look around. The street was only occupied by early morning vendors carrying their loads and a few pedestrians, all of whom were engaged in their own activities, and not a single person appeared to be out of place
Qin Qinghe stood in a daze, and then suddenly realized: "Are you serious?"
Qin Qinghe felt a bitter taste in his mouth for some unknown reason. He sighed softly and said, "Forget it, Tian Fan, you and I have been living completely different lives. You probably won't have many opportunities to interact with people from the martial world in the future. I was too anxious; you are right, you don't need to take these things to heart."
Qin Qinghe's footsteps suddenly paused for a moment; if Tian Fan could see his face, he would discover the tender affection reflected upon it, as if even the thick moonlight would be entranced by it
Qin Qinghe frowned: "Wasn't it you who asked me to hit?"
Qin Qinghe said lightly: "It is not good to sleep here, it is better to perk up."
Tian Fan cast him a sidelong glance and said, "Do you really want to hit Huo Mumu that much?"
Tian Fan! Qin Qinghe was somewhat anxious: "Zhang Zhenren's martial arts have reached the transformation realm, making him truly unfathomable. Moreover, it is said that this person has a peculiar temperament and cannot tolerate losses. Be careful with your words, and do not bring trouble upon yourself!"
Tian Fan looked back, her eyes sparkling with joy, pointing at him and laughing: "Hey, hey, your face seems to have turned red, Brother Qin... If you care about me, just say it directly, I won't be embarrassed! What else is there to say... go on, go on." Until Qin Qinghe shot her a cold glare: "Go back and put on your shoes! Stop talking so much!"
The moonlight cast a soft glow on Tian Fan's young, dewdrop-like face. He could no longer hold back and gently said: "Tian Fan, after today we will part ways. You are the daughter of a government official, and I know that you will surely have everything go your way in this life... However, if... if you ever encounter anyone who bullies you in the future, as long as your elder brother is still alive, I will always help you."
Tian Fan was momentarily taken aback, then joyfully exclaimed: "Brother Qin! Are you serious?"
Tian Fan shot him another glance and said, "What do I need to hit him for? Come on, accompany me for some snacks."
After a while, Tian Fan finally emerged, having changed into a beautiful outfit. The sky was already bright, and Tian Fan stood charmingly in the morning light, covering her mouth with a small fan, her eyes crescent-shaped, smiling at him.
Qin Qinghe said: "There is no need for that, it is better to quickly go to the Huoyou Escort Agency to settle the matter."
