Turning the corner, Li Qinghe only then realized that the matter Xu Fan was currently involved in strangely echoed the risqué joke he had just told.

Aside from the two of them, there was no one else on the beach, and Li Qinghe's heart instantly started to beat wildly.

The intensity just now was already her limit, had it been anyone else, achieving such a realm would have been utterly impossible.

"Stop it, don't mess around!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Fan with a pleading look, only hoping that he wouldn't go too far.

Fortunately, Xu Fan was a million times better than someone like Ke Longxiang, and he did not take advantage of the situation on the beach, which allowed Li Qinghe to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, next time I won't ask you to tell any jokes again, so annoying..."

Speaking out felt wrong, and remaining silent felt wrong too; Xu Fan felt wronged and simply shook his head without saying anything else.

It was almost dusk when the two of them left the beach.

After spending nearly an entire afternoon with the big star, Xu Fan returned to his room, took a shower, and then picked up the Qingyue Sword.

He hadn't forgotten the reason for coming to Floating Mountain Island.

Although he still hadn't received any news from the Green Rakshasa about Li Xiaochen, Xu Fan was still unwilling to relax.

Any bit of laxity would mean an increase in danger.

The Innate Realm is divided into four levels: beginning peeks, penetration, great achievement, and peak. Li Xiaochen's cultivation level was probably already at penetration, and with Xu Fan's own beginner's strength, even with the restraint of Gu poison, he still could not afford to relax.

Now, after taking the Qingyue Sword out of the black box, Xu Fan raised the sword and walked out onto the balcony.

It was already night, and Xu Fan, holding the longsword, gazed into the distance at the scattered stars and waning moon. Accompanied by the distant sound of the tides, his gaze slowly deepened, and his breath followed, calming with every still and active moment.

The Swordsman follows the way of the heart; life and death are but a thought away.

When the heart aligns, the swordsmanship completes.

This time, he tried to merge his thoughts with the surrounding stars, waning moon, and sea waves to comprehend the principles of the sword.

With the Six Senses operating in the void, Xu Fan began to sense and possibly understand the way of the sword. Clutching the Qingyue Sword in his hand, he danced towards the moon!

In terms of swordsmanship, his aged mentor taught him a diverse array, which Xu Fan had some criticisms of in the past. But the old man never cared.

In his words, the Swordsman is not about form but about intent.

Understanding the Sword Intent marks the completion of the sword.

Perhaps Xu Fan hasn't yet grasped the profound Sword Intent that old man talked about, but even so, he has still benefited a lot this time.

The various swordsmanship styles he was taught were now flashing through his mind like a slideshow.

Somewhere within, they showed tendencies to merge into one.

Under the moonlight, Xu Fan's Qingyue Sword in hand alternated between tumultuous, like the crashing waves against the shore, and swift, like the brilliant stars across the sky!

Flowing like clouds and water, the Qingyue Sword in Xu Fan's hand became even swifter!

In the end, only the sword shadows that filled the air were discernible under the moonlight!

The faster he moved, the more violent the wind became around him!

Smack. Smack. Smack!

Suddenly, there was the sound of applause nearby, and Xu Fan's eyes snapped open in an instant!

His eyes were sharp as blades!

Aimed by the Sword Edge! The surging Inner Breath inside his body transformed into a burst of Sword Qi, firing out with force!

With a bang! The Sword Qi shot towards the living room sofa, and the sofa instantly shattered into pieces!

This scene frightened Li Qinghe so badly that she lost all color in her face, and her legs completely lost sensation, causing her to sit down directly on the floor.

This guy was actually so powerful...

Li Qinghe dazedly looked at the exploded sofa beside her, feeling her scalp tingle with numbness.

She couldn't imagine, if Xu Fan's sword had been pointed at her just now, would her fate have been any better than the sofa's?

"Xu Fan, you scared me to death..."

It was a close call, but ultimately there was no danger. Li Qinghe patted her chest in relief, complained briefly, then got up from the ground.

She had already been inside for a while and had seen Xu Fan practicing his swordsmanship under the moon without wanting to interrupt, so she had stayed here, watching closely.

Compared to the martial masters she knew from the film crew, Xu Fan's swordsmanship was a thousand, no, a million times stronger!

At the very least, she, Li Qinghe, had been completely transfixed...

"Xu Fan, if it were possible, I really would love to drag you into filming with me," she said earnestly to Xu Fan.

Not to mention anything else, just with Xu Fan's martial arts alone, if he were indeed to act in films, within three years he would absolutely rank among the top action stars.

"Forget about it."

Thankfully, she had reacted in time just now, or else Li Qinghe would probably have died by his Qingyue Sword.

Xu Fan shook his head at this moment and said, "Real kung fu is about killing, completely different from those flashy but empty moves shown on the screen."

"I'm not suited for the acting business."

If he really had to perform fight scenes, Xu Fan estimated he would have to slow down his moves countless times before the camera could even capture them.

"Okay then, I was just saying..."

Li Qinghe nodded, understanding that if Xu Fan really went into acting, the actor playing opposite him might have to end their acting career then and there.

"By the way, why are you here?"

Xu Fan placed the Qingyue Sword back into its black case as he entered the living room and sat down before asking this question.

The reason she had come to find Xu Fan was simply to spend more time with him.

Three days of pretending to be a couple wasn't really that long.

During the three-day trip to Floating Mountain Island, Li Qinghe didn't want to waste a single minute or second.

However, what she had just witnessed diminished her playful mood somewhat.

Before coming here, Xu Fan had told her that this trip wasn't for leisure.

Seeing him tonight confirmed that he probably wasn't lying.

"Xu Fan, is it Ke Longxiang over there getting ready to make a move on you?"

In the whole of Shanghai, only the Ke Family would do such a thing. Li Qinghe looked at Xu Fan and asked.

"Yes, you could say that."

Even though Li Xiaochen is no longer trusted by the Ke Family, he is still one of them.

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as we succeed this time, the Ke Family in Shanghai will cease to exist from then on."

She understood very clearly what Xu Fan's words meant.

With the fall of the Ke Family, Ke Longxiang would also meet his demise.

And at that time, the marriage between her and him would also crumble.

Li Qinghe looked at Xu Fan with a grateful expression and said, "Xu Fan, I believe in you."

"You will definitely succeed this time."

The swordsmanship Xu Fan had displayed earlier was so powerful that even someone with her grandfather's strength might not be able to withstand it. Li Qinghe believed that the experts brought in by the Ke Family might not be able to kill Xu Fan.

"Hopefully."

Seeing the encouraging look in Li Qinghe's eyes, Xu Fan managed a weak smile.

The realizations from earlier had indeed been greatly beneficial.

But when it came to giving a definitive outcome for the upcoming duel with Li Xiaochen, he truly couldn't make a prediction.

A swordsman in the Innate Realm would surely have a deeper understanding of Sword Intent than himself.

The battle on Floating Mountain Island was uncertain for anyone.
