Liu Xianhe obviously had his eyes opened as well. Although these two people were also master-level experts, they were only at the early stage of that level. Even someone like Jin Zhengming, who was a late-stage master-level expert, wasn't he also knocked down by Qin Fang with a single kick?
Ever since Qin Fang came to Korea, Liu Xianhe had seen him deal with many masters. First, he took down master-level Jin Zhengxi, then defeated late-stage master-level Jin Zhengming, and even made the more powerful Cui Zheming of the Cui Family wary and not dare to take action...
Although Liu Xianhe still couldn't figure out Qin Fang's true strength, he knew that essentially any expert below the late-stage master level was not in Qin Fang's eyes at all.
As for the few people on the other side, except for the old man whose strength was unknown, these two young men were really no match for Qin Fang.
The faces of these two young men turned green at this moment. They really didn't expect that as honorable master-level experts, the two of them attacking one person didn't manage to harm even a hair, and instead, their wrists got broken...
The worst part was that they hadn't even seen clearly how Qin Fang made his move... They just felt a slight blur in front of their eyes, a pain in their wrists, and then ended up in such a state.
Yet Qin Fang remained quite calm, casually releasing the two unlucky guys as if he were throwing out garbage, then his gaze turned towards the old man.
"Old fellow, don't say I don't respect the old and cherish the young. You better take these two wastes back and train them slowly. It's best to teach them what humility and low-profile mean!"
Qin Fang had no good feelings towards this arrogant old man, who relied on his age to act superior, something that made people speechless.
As the saying goes, what kind of teacher brings out what kind of apprentice. This old man was domineering, and so were his disciples, learning from him quite well.
Otherwise, they wouldn't make things difficult for Qin Fang over such a trivial matter.
The old man looked at his two disciples with broken wrists, his face not looking very good. Upon hearing Qin Fang's rather unpleasant words, his face turned bluish-purple.
Yet he couldn't flare up, thinking carefully about the cause of the incident, it seemed Qin Fang didn't really do anything wrong. Instead, it was their master-disciple who went too far, insisting on making trouble for Qin Fang, which led to Qin Fang's counteraction.
"Young friend, my master-disciple indeed went too far just now, please forgive us..."
After Qin Fang scolded him, the old man instead calmed down. After a brief silence, he actually clasped his fists towards Qin Fang, apologizing sincerely.
"Uh..."
This time, it was Qin Fang who appeared a bit dumbfounded.
He was almost pointing at the man's nose and cursing, yet the old man not only didn't get furious but apologized instead. And from his expression, it didn't seem fake. Qin Fang felt extremely strange.
"Forget it, I guess we are no strangers after a fight! I also spoke a bit too harshly earlier, please forgive me, elder..."
Seeing that the other party wasn't pretending, Qin Fang didn't bother to argue any further, as that would only make him appear petty.
However, this matter wasn't Qin Fang's fault, but since the other party was an elder in the martial world, Qin Fang maintained the grace he should have and courteously expressed his apologies.
"Hehe, no strangers after a fight, no strangers after a fight... I am Fang Zonglin from the Tian Nan Sect of Little Island."
Seeing Qin Fang being so polite, the old man's face improved significantly. At least it was clear from this point that Qin Fang was quite reasonable and not someone who wouldn't let things go.
The old man's mood brightened, and his gaze towards Qin Fang improved a lot. He even clasped his fists and introduced himself to Qin Fang voluntarily.
"From Little Island?"
Qin Fang was slightly startled, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He certainly wouldn't be unfamiliar with Little Island. It was of the same bloodline after all. Although it hasn't returned yet, the connection remains unbreakable.
In fact, when Qin Fang was in Ninghai, he had received a request from Ning Yumo to protect some important political figures from Little Island for a period.
But besides that, Qin Fang seemed to have less interaction with people from Little Island. Though they belong to the same country, the gap between them was quite significant.
Qin Fang had been to some areas in Dragon Country, even the Hong Kong and Macau regions, but it seemed the only place he hadn't set foot in was this Little Island.
In the past, Qin Fang said he would go visit when he had the chance, but he never found the opportunity. He never expected to meet his fellow countrymen from Little Island here, although it was in such a manner.
"I've heard so much about you..."
Though part of the Dragon Country's territory, and despite the distance, it doesn't change the fact that they are all Dragon Country people. Little Island may not be very large, but it also has a martial world and various martial sects, and among them, there are some with quite a long history...
For example, the Tian Nan Sect of this old man is one of the more famous sects on Little Island. Its heritage may not compare to major sects like Shaolin or the Tang Sect in the inland, but it's comparable to the Tianchi Sect, with quite solid heritage and strength.
This point is evident when you look at the strength of the three people from the Tian Nan Sect in front of us—one old master and two young ones—all at the master-level. Especially the old master, though not at the grandmaster-level tier, he has already reached the peak of the master level, on par with Qin Fang's mentor, Cai Pingyuan.
However, compared to a family background like Master Cai Pingyuan's, the Tian Nan Sect is obviously a behemoth, thus achieving even higher accomplishments.
Still, the Fu Family and the Cui Family have organized a very impressive sword tournament, inviting highly prestigious figures from around the area to act as judges.
And the old Master Fang before us—strong in martial prowess, high in identity and status, and with substantial background—is perfectly suited to be a judge for this sword tournament.
"I am Qin Fang, just an insignificant nobody..."
Since the other party already introduced their name and identity, Qin Fang naturally couldn't hold back and simply introduced himself.
However, compared to the renowned Master Fang from a major sect, Qin Fang seemed somewhat disadvantaged. He wanted to say he was an inheritor of the Xingyi Fist, but there were too many Xingyi Fist sects in the Dragon Country, and the other party might not recognize it, so it was better to leave it unsaid.
Upon hearing Qin Fang's introduction, Fang Zonglin and the two others had somewhat peculiar expressions. Their first reaction was that Qin Fang was deliberately withholding information and not telling the truth, but seeing Qin Fang's helpless expression, it seemed not to be as they imagined.
Fang Zonglin himself was a bit better, being a senior with an extraordinary identity. His disciples were different, if not for being taught a lesson by Qin Fang, they would likely have shown mocking expressions.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regret now. If they dared to show even a hint of mockery, it would certainly be them losing face, not Qin Fang.
They belonged to a major sect and were considered outstanding among young experts, yet they couldn't handle someone of Qin Fang's obscure background. Instead, they were easily defeated, with their wrists broken. This didn't just lose face; it was a severe slap in their faces...
Thus, their faces didn't look great now. They thought their master would stand up for them. However, Fang Zonglin seemed to have a desire to befriend Qin Fang rather than seeking revenge, which naturally made them quite frustrated.
Now that the conversation was open, the resentment between both sides lessened a lot, no longer as tense as before. Only Fang Zonglin's two disciples remained quite troubled.
"Your disciples' hands..."
Seeing the troubled faces of the two, Qin Fang looked at their broken wrists and couldn't help but speak, hesitating whether he should mend them for them.
"They brought it upon themselves..."
Fang Zonglin, thinking Qin Fang was still holding a grudge over what happened earlier, was rather blunt in criticizing his disciples. His own face also turned slightly red.
He understood that this incident was due to his own rashness, and his disciples were merely bearing the consequences for it.
"I'll find someone to fix it for them later!"
Fang Zonglin didn't dwell on this topic, knowing that his two disciples merely had broken wrists and that he could find someone to fix their bones afterward.
Long experience makes perfect; martial artists are generally also the best in treating injuries. Acts like bone-setting are common skills among many martial arts experts, so Fang Zonglin wasn't very concerned about this.
"By the way, Younger Brother Qin, were you also invited by the Fu Family to act as a judge?"
Qin Fang's swift action earlier left Fang Zonglin's two disciples unable to see how Qin Fang made his move, and even Fang Zonglin himself hadn't seen it very clearly.
But his single move alone showed that Qin Fang's skill was far superior to his two disciples, and perhaps not much weaker than himself, an experienced master-level peak expert.
He's already aged, and although he has a strong Internal Strength, his physical stamina is obviously not as abundant as a young person's. If he were to fight Qin Fang, he feared the odds of him losing would be greater.
Originally, Fang Zonglin thought Qin Fang was a martial artist who came to observe the ceremony and had suddenly intruded into their courtyard, which naturally displeased him. Judges and spectators are two entirely different groups with vastly different treatments.
If anyone could intrude into their courtyard, the judges would surely not be happy and it would affect their rest.
But now seeing Qin Fang's abilities, easily subduing his two disciples who were at early-stage master level, he truly believed Qin Fang resided there, having such skill was more than adequate to serve as a judge...
