Once Jiang Junling was far away, the fisherman put away his bamboo pole. He looked at Fang Yan thoughtfully and said, "Not bad, kid. You're not as inflexible as your grandfather."
"You're as inflexible as my grandfather. If you accept my suggestion, there's nothing we can't do if we work together … "
The fisherman snorted coldly and slowly walked outside.
Fang Yan was very helpless against this old man who didn't know how to be flexible. If he agreed to betray them, the two of them would have long thrown Jiang Junling and the group of minions behind him into the abyss.
Fang Yan walked in front of Qin Yitian and said with a smile, "The steak is cold."
"I've lost my appetite too," Qin Yitian said with some annoyance. The steak could be made again if it was cold, but if the good mood was gone, that would be really infuriating.
"The scenery is still here. Let's go out for a walk." Fang Yan took the initiative to invite them.
"Of course." Qin Yitian nodded. "But before that, can I trouble you to do me a small favor …"
Fang Yan squatted down and picked up Qin Yitian's high heels from under the table and handed them to her.
The girl had secretly untied the laces of the high heels and used them as a hidden weapon to attack Jiang Junling. Although the action was a little unsightly, the effect was obvious. Fang Yan saw Jiang Junling's strange walking posture when he left. He must have had a hard time holding it in.
"Help me put it on," Qin Yitian said coquettishly as she extended her smooth, jade-like feet in front of Fang Yan.
Fang Yan shifted his gaze and said with a straight face, "Put it on yourself."
Qin Yitian smiled. She knew that Fang Yan wouldn't ignore her identity as a teacher. She wanted to close the distance, but he kicked her away. It was a little annoying.
Qin Yitian took the shoes and put them on. Looking at the messy restaurant in front of him, Qin Yitian beckoned Wu Yiwei over and said, "Calculate how we should compensate you for your losses …"
Wu Yiwei thanked her gratefully and said, "Miss Qin, you don't have to worry about this matter. When Mr. Zhang left, he told us to put all our losses on his account … I've brought you a lot of trouble today, please forgive me. "
Although those guys were wretched, they still did their job well on the surface.
Qin Yitian generously waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
As the sun set in the west, the myriad rays of light in the sky had already converged, leaving behind only a patch of red that had not been wiped clean.
Fang Yan and Qin Yitian walked side by side on the mountain path, stepping on the green grass and red flowers, facing the thin mist and cool breeze, it was quite comfortable.
Qin Yitian didn't speak, and Fang Yan didn't want to either. Both of them had their own thoughts, and only the sound of their feet stepping on the grass could be heard.
Some insects were disturbed by them, chirping and running away.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Yitian broke the silence and asked.
"I'm thinking about how many people are paying attention to the battle of One Sword Peak in 19 days," Fang Yan said. "It seems that this matter has been spread out maliciously."
"If you accept, then you may be killed by the Qianye Army. If you refuse, the Fang family's reputation will be damaged, and the Fang family will be humiliated … It's quite difficult, "Qin Yitian said.
"You see, even you know about this matter, so it's inevitable that those people with ulterior motives are adding fuel to the fire." Fang Yan smiled bitterly. "What I'm worried about is that if everyone is like your old friend, General Ling, and brings three to five experts to challenge me … I'm afraid that I'll be beaten to death by them before the final battle even arrives."
Qin Yitian smiled and said, "At that time, I was really worried that you would hurt someone."
"You were worried that I would kill someone, weren't you?" Fang Yan shook his head gently. "I'm not as stupid as he thinks."
"Jiang Junling is very conceited and sinister. He appeared in the Ten Feet Abyss unintentionally, but he instantly thought of a way to put you in a dilemma. Whether it's Young Thug's provocation or Bao Shi 'er's challenge, they're all foreshadowing the battle of One Sword Peak in 19 days. "
"He's a very generous person, and Young Thug's provocation shouldn't be his doing. Liu Qingming is a member of the Liu family, and the young man who just replaced Liu Shu doesn't know you well enough, so it's reasonable for him to test you with a playboy. However, he pushed Dragon Master Bao Shi 'er out to challenge you. That's his intention. "
"The Southern Dragon and the Northern Phoenix. The Dragon and the Phoenix are the kings of the Xing Yi Sect, and they're worshipped by all the Xing Yi disciples. How could they be defeated so easily? As a Grandmaster, he challenged a nameless kid like me, but he still held back his strength in the battle of honor. Why? "Fang Yan sneered.
"He didn't want to kill anyone, and he didn't want to be Jiang Junling's scapegoat. That's why I'm handing the initiative to you. "Qin Yitian smiled. "They're both smart people."
"Isn't Jiang Junling disappointed?"
"He should be a little disappointed," Qin Yitian said. "He doesn't make a move easily, but he's never lost."
"He wants Young Thug to ruin my state of mind, and Dragon Master Bao Shi 'er to exhaust my energy and strength … It would be best if Dragon Master Bao Shi' er killed me. Then, everything will be over. If I kill Bao Shi 'er, it won't be over. In front of so many people, I'm afraid no one would dare to protect a murderer, right? "
Fang Yan looked at Qin Yitian and said, "At that time, your Mr. Fang will become a murderer that everyone hates and fears."
"In my opinion, someone who can easily throw a punch is just a martial artist. However, a real martial artist is someone who knows when to pull back his fist. " Qin Yitian looked at Fang Yan with bright eyes and said, "I could hear their regret, but I was relieved at that moment. Fang Yan, you're different from others. "
"But I was still tricked by Jiang Junling." Fang Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Don't make me sound so great. I pulled back my fist because I was forced by the situation. After I defeated Bao Shi 'er, Jiang Junling immediately restrained himself. He didn't let the fisherman fight because he was worried that if the fisherman couldn't defeat me, it wouldn't be easy for him to leave the Ten Feet Abyss. He would have to suffer some humiliation … "
"What about you?" Qin Yitian asked with interest. "The fisherman blocked your way, but you didn't attack him … This is not like you. Do you think you can't win? "
"Who knows if I can win before fighting?" Fang Yan sighed softly. "Jiang Junling has a strong army. After defeating Bao Shi 'er, there will be a Hanged Ghost Fisherman. After defeating the Hanged Ghost Fisherman, does he have no other good cards? He can keep changing cards, but I only have one card in my hand. If I lose, I won't have a chance to start again … So, I have to be careful. I'm not a loser, but I'm just a teacher. I can't compare to those rich young masters who have hundreds of millions of dollars in their hands. "
"But he returned in defeat."
"I'm also holding my breath," Fang Yan said.
"So, you're saying that you're evenly matched this time?"
"No, he won," Fang Yan said. "Tai Chi is all about calmness. It's hard to have the heart of Tai Chi if the heart is not calm. It's hard to enter the state of Tai Chi if your Qi is not in harmony. After being tormented by him like that, how could I maintain my calm state? What's the most important thing to me right now? It's the battle of Single Sword Peak in nineteen days. I know it, and he knows it too. So, he brought me so much trouble with just a wave of his hand. I'm exhausted from dealing with it, and I have to find a way to calm my heart and Qi … Say, why is that bastard so annoying? "
Qin Yitian felt guilty. "I'm the one who dragged you down."
If he hadn't dragged Fang Yan to the Ten Feet Abyss for a meal, he wouldn't have met Jiang Junling. If he hadn't met Jiang Junling, so many things wouldn't have happened and destroyed Fang Yan's inner peace.
Fang Yan shook his head. "How does Jiang Junling treat you?"
"On the surface, he's close, but deep down, he's distant," Qin Yitian said. "Perhaps he is estranged from everyone."
"Do you think that Jiang Junling attacked me because of you?"
Qin Yitian looked puzzled. He looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Is there any other reason?"
"I don't understand." Fang Yan shook his head and sighed. "But, I have a feeling that things aren't that simple. Do you still remember the scene when I first met Jiang Junling? At that time, I felt that the way he looked at me was a bit strange … It wasn't friendly, but it wasn't hostile. It was just … like he was familiar with me. "
"You know, I practice Tai Chi, so I'm very sensitive to things around me. I can more or less sense other people's attitudes toward me. It's hard to hide my Tai Chi heart from others, even if they're sincere or perfunctory. "
"I think your Tai Chi practice must be very bad, right?" Qin Yitian said.
"Why do you say that?" Fang Yan asked. He felt that he had practiced it quite well. He was the only one in the Fang family who could enter the Tai Chi state at this age. Even if all the other Tai Chi practitioners in Hua Xia were included, how many of them could enter the Tai Chi state?
"If it's really as you said, that Tai Chi can sense other people's likes and dislikes toward you … I've made it so obvious. Why can't you feel it at all?" Qin Yitian asked doubtfully.
Fang Yan smiled bitterly.
He looked around and saw a few red wild fruits on the trees on the mountainside. He ran over and picked the fruits. He walked to Qin Yitian and handed them to her, saying, "I learned from Jiang Junling that today is your birthday. It seems that I didn't have time to prepare a gift … Happy birthday."
"Perfunctory." Qin Yitian didn't reach out to take the fruits.
"You don't want me to throw them away?" Fang Yan asked.
Qin Yitian snatched the fruit from Fang Yan's hand and said, "Take it home and feed it to the pigs."
