Lin Fan looked at Ye Fei'Er in surprise, and after meeting Lin Fan's gaze, Ye Fei'Er turned her head away somewhat guiltily.
This made Lin Fan even more puzzled in his heart!
"Sir Ye, what exactly happened?" Lin Fan asked.
"Ah! This girl, she keeps everything to herself and never tells anyone."
Ye Qitian sighed and said, "Ever since the incident at your engagement banquet, the higher-ups have put pressure on the Ye Family, and I fear that Zheng Rong's career might be halted."
"In a family like ours, if the next generation doesn't rise up, we'll become a third-rate family in a few years. Fei'Er is carrying all of the Ye Family's honor."
Lin Fan looked at Ye Fei'Er in her military uniform in surprise and said, "You enlisted?"
Ye Fei'Er nodded, bowing her head, not daring to meet Lin Fan's eyes.
Ye Qitian sipped his liquor with a "tsk", smacked his lips and said, "After the last incident, the Huang Family took the matter to the higher-ups. Originally, they planned to suppress you, but it was this girl, Fei'Er, who blocked it. She offered to enlist in the army to serve the country and atone for her mistakes."
"Moreover, with Fei'Er enlisting, it undoubtedly stabilizes the foundation of our Ye Family. Even though the higher-ups want to suppress our Ye Family, affecting Zheng Rong's career, Fei'Er is a girl. If she achieves something, they definitely won't make things difficult for her, blocking her career path."
"So, not only did Fei'Er block the higher-ups' decision for you, but she also held up half the sky for our Ye Family." Ye Qitian downed his glass of liquor, poured himself another one, and shook his head, sighing continuously.
Lin Fan had no idea Ye Fei'Er had done so much for him, no wonder she had been out of touch for so long.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Fan softly asked.
"It wasn't really a big deal, didn't want you to worry." Ye Fei'Er smiled happily.
"Silly girl, these matters should be handled by a man." Lin Fan said.
"I don't want to be looked down upon, nor do I want the Ye Family to be looked down upon." Ye Fei'Er stubbornly said.
"From today on, I won't allow anyone to harm you, not even God, they'll have to get past me first!" Lin Fan's expression turned serious, and his tone was extremely heavy.
Ye Fei'Er nodded, her pretty face beaming with a sweet smile.
"Enough, enough! You two stop being so sappy; isn't there a saying online? Flaunting love leads to a quick demise, drink up, drink up." Ye Qitian shouted.
"Let's drink our fill today." Lin Fan laughed, and finally let loose!
Those who have served in the army can hold their liquor well, and even though Ye Qitian was not young, he wasn't exaggerating about his drinking capacity, finishing two bottles on his own.
But that was his limit; he started talking nonsense, one moment calling Lin Fan grandson-in-law, the next calling him brother, even calling him big brother once, leaving Lin Fan in confusion for a long time.
For a centenarian to call him big brother, it was like losing years off his life!
After dinner, Elder Ye was carried back to his room by Lin Fan, still mumbling indistinctly about having a grand wedding for Lin Fan and Ye Fei'Er.
Marriage? Lin Fan smiled bitterly, before returning home, the thought of marriage was so unfamiliar to him, he once thought he would never marry, possibly spending his life alone.
After returning home and meeting a few lady friends, Lin Fan found his mindset starting to change!
Ye Fei'Er and Mrs. Ye cleared the dining hall, and with nothing to do, Lin Fan walked out of the living room, sat on a small stool by the door smoking, seeing Shunzi returning, he waved his hand.
"Son-in-law, do you have any orders?" Shunzi scratched the back of his head, still full of a silly smile.
"Come! Sit for a while." Lin Fan put a small stool beside him.
With nothing to do, Shunzi sat down.
Lin Fan took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Smoke?"
"I'm afraid the old head won't allow us to smoke if he sees us." Shunzi said nervously.
"It's okay, the old head is asleep and won't wake up anytime soon." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shunzi was delighted, rubbing his hands to politely accept the cigarette.
But as Lin Fan looked at Shunzi's hand, he was astonished, quickly grabbing Shunzi's hand for a closer look.
Shunzi's hand was as black and shiny as his complexion, the palm was large, like a bear's paw, with veins bulging on the back of the hand, joints prominently raised, and covered with a thick layer of calluses.
"Son-in-law, what's wrong?" Shunzi asked curiously.
"Have you practiced Iron Sand Palm?" Lin Fan asked seriously.
"My family is a martial arts family; my grandfather and father were both Iron Sand Palm inheritors. I have practiced Iron Sand Palm since I was young, practicing whenever I have time." Shunzi answered honestly.
"Let me check your pulse." Lin Fan said.
Not daring to hesitate, Shunzi quickly turned his wrist, and after Lin Fan checked his pulse, it was just as he thought. Shunzi came from a martial arts family, practicing Iron Sand Palm since childhood, his body containing a powerful qi which he didn't know how to use or had yet to develop fully!
Moreover, his hand was already as hard as steel, having reached the pinnacle of training, and one of the Four Kings in Lin Fan's sect required precisely training the hand to this extent from a young age to cultivate qi!
"Have you ever heard of Qi Cultivation?" Lin Fan asked.
Shunzi's eyes lit up, "Of course I've heard of it, my great-grandfather was a renowned Qi Gong Master, but starting from my grandfather's generation, my family suddenly couldn't cultivate Qi anymore. It's been my lifelong dream to cultivate it. I've heard it's a miraculous realm."
Lin Fan felt there was potential, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Shunzi scratched his head thinking, then smiled foolishly, "The old head has taken good care of me; I plan to stay with him for life."
"If you ever need help, feel free to come to me." Lin Fan didn't plan to force it, since the Qi Cultivation method he had would shock the entire Martial World. It's best to first assess Shunzi properly.
Some things cannot be easily given; otherwise, they won't be treasured. Sometimes it's necessary to use a strategy of enticement!
"Hehe, thank you, son-in-law." Shunzi smiled and said.
In the afternoon, Lin Fan rested at the Ye Family for a while. When Ye Fei'Er had to return to the military, Lin Fan didn't impose by staying at the Ye Family, fearing the loneliness with Ye Fei'Er gone!
Ye Fei'Er dropped Lin Fan off at the city center before leaving. They agreed to stay in touch often and to inform Lin Fan of any developments. Ye Fei'Er, unlike her former self, obediently agreed.
Ring ring ring~
Just as Lin Fan was contemplating where to go, his phone rang.
Lin Fan took a look and immediately had a slight smile on his lips.
Answering the call, Lin Fan cheerfully said, "Honorable Princess Dai Mo, what orders might you have for your loyal servant?"
