Defeat was a foreign concept to Gongsun Qin.

Being defeated by Xu Fan, she was even more unwilling to accept it!

If it weren't for his despicable means, how could she have lost to him within a few moves?

"Your victory lacks honor!"

Even though her life was still in Xu Fan's grasp, Gongsun Qin stubbornly voiced her inner thoughts!

If given another chance, she would never lose to him!

"Lack honor? Sorry, but that term doesn't exist to me," said Xu Fan indifferently, looking at Gongsun Qin's unconvinced face.

His experiences with Gongsun Qin were completely different.

From a very young age, he had entered White Crescent for rigorous training. Through countless bloodshed baptisms and numerous narrow escapes, Xu Fan knew one principle very well.

Victory does not care about the means.

It's cruel, but it's also reality.

Keep in mind, the enemy won't spare you because you play fair.

"Don't think I've been playing house with you, Martial Arts is not a competition, it never puts friendship first."

"You lost, and you are defeated, whether you admit it or not. If I wish, I could turn you into a corpse right now."

"You!"

Ignoring Gongsun Qin's angry gaze, Xu Fan glanced at the elderly nun standing to the side.

"Master, it seems your disciple still lacks experience."

"..."

A simple statement stirred tumultuous waves in the old nun's heart.

This young man's actions undoubtedly showed her the gap between him and her disciple.

Indeed, a loss is a loss, the results are always written by the victor, no matter how unsavory Xu Fan's methods were just now, he remains the winner of this contest.

"You have superior skills..."

Xu Fan won, and Qin Er would have to be stripped of her cultivation, the old nun admitted defeat, feeling a sudden loss in her heart.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Gongsun Qin was about to heed the old nun's command and cripple her own cultivation level, Xia Xiaodie quickly intervened.

Under Gongsun Qin's gaze, Xia Xiaodie ran over to Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, let it go, what happened was just a misunderstanding," she said.

The old nun had been aggressively pressing him just now, and Xu Fan defeating her disciple within ten moves had evened the score.

Seeing the moment Gongsun Qin wanted to apologize, Xia Xiaodie noticed her true nature wasn't bad, and she straightaway began to persuade Xu Fan.

"Alright, I'll listen to you this time."

"Let them off."

Respecting Xia Xiaodie's decision, Xu Fan smiled and then let go of his grasp.

"Let's go."

With that, Xu Fan took Xia Xiaodie's hand and, without hesitation, walked out of the grand hall.

The old nun watched his retreating figure, frowning unconsciously.

She had thought he was playing a trick, hoping to use this opportunity to have her reveal information about the Bronze Box.

But who would have thought, he had no such intentions...

Could it be that she was misjudging his noble intentions with her own petty fears?

Pondering, Xu Fan and his companion had already left Yuehua Monastery, and Gongsun Qin, seeing her master in deep thought, felt a bit uneasy.

She was only worried that her master would reprimand her for just now's defeat.

She didn't want to disappoint her master.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Master, what happened just now was just that guy playing dirty..."

Immediately, Gongsun Qin began to explain.

However, before she could finish, the elderly nun waved her hand and interrupted her directly.

"It's all right, Qin Er, you don't need to explain too much to me."

As Xu Fan had said, although Gongsun Qin's cultivation level was very high, indeed, her actual combat experience was far less than Xu Fan's.

How could a woman who had never killed anyone compare to a man who was baptized by the precarious battles of a battlefield?

Even more so, the old nun had a suspicion that Xu Fan might have been able to win against Qin Er using conventional methods.

He did so only to teach Gongsun Qin a lesson.

A winner is a winner, regardless of the methods being fair or underhand.

That fellow, having accepted such a disciple, truly is blessed by eight generations of good fortune.

This was not merely a contest between Xu Fan and Gongsun Qin but also a match between herself and that fellow.

Having lost to Xu Fan's master, the old nun couldn't help but sigh.

As she looked at Gongsun Qin, a decision suddenly crystallized in the old nun's mind.

"Qin Er."

"Master, Qin Er is here."

Seeing the master summoning, Gongsun Qin hurriedly approached.

The old nun looked meaningfully at Gongsun Qin and said, "From today onwards, you don't have to stay by my side anymore."

"This…"

Hearing the master's decision, Gongsun Qin felt a surge of panic inside!

Raised by her master from a young age, their relationship was closer to that of mother and daughter than of master and disciple.

Now that the master wanted to send her away, how could she accept it?

"Master, Qin Er knows her mistake. Please give me another chance; I will definitely defeat him!"

Without even thinking, she knew her master had made this decision because she had lost to that man.

Imploring at this moment, Gongsun Qin couldn't help but harbor a bit of resentment towards Xu Fan!

Thinking about the tactics that fellow had used earlier, she clenched her fists in anger!

Given another chance, she would definitely beat him down solidly!

"Qin Er, I am asking you to leave, not for the reason you think."

Seeing the angry look on Gongsun Qin's face, the old nun sighed and explained.

Having lost to Xu Fan was ultimately a reflection of her own inadequate guidance.

Over the years, Gongsun Qin had always been by her side, barely experiencing the trials of the worldly life.

It was not just the lack of real combat experience that Xu Fan pointed out, but Gongsun Qin was lacking in many other experiences as well.

She had acted this way only because she was worried that Qin Er would fall into the mortal world and be deceived by heartless men.

Fearing that this disciple, who she regarded as her own flesh and blood, would undergo the same experiences she had.

Yet, in the end, keeping her secluded in Yuehua Monastery, isolated from the world, was fundamentally harming her.

If she were no longer around in the future, such an innocent and naïve girl, despite her high cultivation level, could easily be manipulated to death!

Perhaps it was time for her to change her mind, allowing this child to undergo some worldly experiences.

That way, she wouldn't be defeated by that boy again…

Taking a deep breath, the old nun suppressed the feelings of reluctance within and said, "You should start packing your belongings now. Once you're ready, go to Shanghai, and find that boy."

"Master? Do you mean that I should kill him and then come back?"

Gongsun Qin was still somewhat confused and doubted this for a moment.

"Silly child."

Hearing Gongsun Qin's words, the old nun couldn't help but laugh.

This child, she must truly be unsettled by Xu Fan deep down.

If she were to confront Xu Fan again now, the result would still be the same.

"When the time comes, once you're in Shanghai, follow him and let him teach you."
