"What?"

Upon hearing Master's decision, Gongsun Qin nearly choked on her bile!

To study under that lecher?

What a joke!

She would rather smash her head against a block of tofu and die.

"Master! No! That guy is a freak!"

Immediately, Gongsun Qin argued without hesitation.

The Master's decision was tantamount to pushing her into hell!

"Qin Er, no matter what you say, you just lost to him, didn't you?"

At that moment, the elderly nun's voice rang out, and Gongsun Qin was taken aback.

Indeed, no matter how much she argued, losing was the fact.

"But, Master..."

Perhaps the Master's decision was correct, there was indeed something about that guy worth learning.

But thinking about the way he treated her just then, Gongsun Qin highly doubted he would agree to teach her.

After all, she had almost killed his girlfriend...

"Don't worry, Qin Er, that guy will surely keep you by his side."

The elderly nun was not worried about Gongsun Qin's concerns and consoled her with a slight smile.

If he taught Qin Er the things she lacked, and in return she told him the secrets of the Bronze Box, then it would be a fair deal.

Moreover, with his current strength, knowing about the Bronze Box too early might not be a good thing.

Xiao Tianfang was a prime example.

For a moment, memories flooded her mind, and the elderly nun couldn't help but let out a long sigh...

...

After leaving Yuehua Nunnery, Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie returned to Jiuxi Town.

They immediately got in the car, ready to rush back to Shanghai.

"Remember to rest for a few days when we get back, don't keep busy with the jewelry business, okay?"

Although Xia Xiaodie had only suffered some minor injuries, Xu Fan didn't take any chances and seriously reminded her while driving.

"I know, you big silly goose."

Xia Xiaodie stuck her tongue out playfully and agreed.

Xu Fan, who knew her very well, saw through her act.

Coming back empty-handed, she must have been disappointed, and her feigned cheerfulness was clearly to avoid worrying him.

That girl may be mischievous on normal days, but she always thinks of him at critical moments.

Squeezing her tender cheek, Xu Fan laughed and said, "Silly girl, don't worry."

"Just because she didn't say it doesn't mean I can't ask someone else."

"Hmm?"

At Xu Fan's words, Xia Xiaodie's eyebrows shot up in surprised delight.

"Xu Fan, are you talking about that stinky old man?"

"..."

Hearing Xia Xiaodie's description of the old man, black lines appeared on Xu Fan's forehead.

How could she call someone a stinky old man?

Really now.

Indeed, as Xia Xiaodie said, the old immortal might know something about the issue at hand.

The attitude of the old nun toward the old immortal was clear to any observant person; it was more than just simple hatred.

If she truly despised him to the depths of her soul, how could she let them leave?

"When I get some free time, I'll go to Banan to find the old immortal..."

Looking at Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan revealed his plan.

There was no need to hang on one tree; sooner or later, by going back to the old immortal, he was sure to pry some information out of him.

Soon, the two returned to Shanghai.

Arriving at Xia Xiaodie's apartment, concerned about her injuries, Xu Fan went up to her floor with her.

Taking the elevator to the apartment door, Xia Xiaodie took out her keys and opened the door.

"Yo? Looks like I've interrupted someone's good time."

At that moment, Feng Huang, who was watching TV on the sofa, looked over teasingly.

Having lived with Feng Huang these past few days, Xia Xiaodie's relationship with her had already become quite close.

Seeing Feng Huang teasing her, Xia Xiaodie pouted and lunged at her.

"Annoying! Sister Feng Huang, you're talking nonsense again!"

You know, she had told Feng Huang about their plans before they left today.

Right now, she was just teasing her.

"Alright, alright, no more messing around. How did it go? Any progress?"

After teasing Xia Xiaodie for a bit, Feng Huang started asking.

Xiaodie pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Silly girl, don't worry. You have this guy to shoulder everything for you."

Feng Huang had a favorable impression of the Xia family girl. She glanced at Xu Fan and offered a word of comfort.

"Okay, I have some matters to discuss privately with this guy, so I'll come back later to flirt with my little Xiaodie sister."

After talking with Xiaodie for a few moments, Feng Huang turned her gaze towards Xu Fan.

Xu Fan, hearing Feng Huang's words, couldn't help feeling a bit gloomy.

This girl, what kind of way is that to talk?

What do you mean 'your little Xiaodie sister'? She's mine, isn't she?

But it was just a silent mumble.

Seeing Feng Huang's serious look, it seemed as if she had something important to say to him. Xu Fan glanced at her and immediately walked outside.

"What's up? Anything important?"

Stepping outside with Feng Huang, Xu Fan asked.

Feng Huang glanced at the door, making sure Xiaodie wasn't there, and then said, "Big brother, I might have to leave for a few days soon."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Feng Huang's decision, Xu Fan was taken aback.

He instinctively thought of the brothers from White Crescent and, in a lowered voice, asked, "Did Azure Dragon and his crew run into trouble?"

Having handed over the affairs of White Crescent to Feng Huang, Xu Fan only worried whether Azure Dragon and his crew had come up against a tough adversary and needed her to handle it.

"Those guys, trouble is the last thing they could run into..."

Seeing Xu Fan's concerned face, Feng Huang couldn't help but laugh.

This guy really cared about his brothers.

"How should I put it, there's a bit of personal business I've come across."

"Don't worry, I can handle it myself."

Feng Huang then explained the situation to Xu Fan.

Because of her background, Feng Huang would often donate her money to help poor orphans in need.

This time, the money she'd donated had been misappropriated by some people claiming to support poverty relief.

Given Feng Huang's character, she naturally couldn't tolerate it. Her plan now was to go there and give those people a good lesson.

This wasn't the first time something like this happened. With Feng Huang's abilities, she could handle it by herself.

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Alright, if there's any trouble, just let me know."

"Rest assured, I am more than enough on my own."

Seeing Xu Fan's worried expression, Feng Huang couldn't help but laugh.

She was no docile little lamb; the people who had illegally taken her money belonged to a charity organization at the Sichuan-Tibet border. She was going to investigate the matter, and if she confirmed their embezzlement, she wouldn't spare them!

Plus, this trip would allow her to see if her little brother had successfully become an apprentice to the person Xu Fan had introduced to him.
