Yin Laosan had initially wanted to befriend Chen Fan and gain more benefits.
But it seemed that opportunity had been wasted for nothing.
With no other choice, he had to steel himself and scurry away.
Just then, An Ye walked in and saw this scene, looking quite amused. "Oh ho... has the richest man in Shancheng started performing circus tricks?"
Yin Laosan was too afraid to even breathe, acting like a whipped dog.
He scurried away...
Downstairs at the hotel.
Old Man Yin grabbed his walking stick and smashed it down on Yin Jie’s head.
Furious.
"Do you have any idea how close you came to utter ruin?"
Yin Jie clutched his head, bewildered, "Dad, is it really that dramatic?"
Old Man Yin roared again, "Do you know that the woman who just walked in was a Grandmaster!"
"With just a word from her, she could make our Yin family disappear from Shancheng!"
"Do you know that?"
"Moreover, Li Qingfeng was incredibly respectful towards them..."
Only now did Yin Jie realize the gravity of the situation.
The people he was facing now, he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
However, he still spoke stubbornly, "Dad... but what does this have to do with Xia Bingqing?"
"Are you an idiot?" Yin Laosan raised his arm and hit Yin Jie again, "In all these years, your brain has truly rusted. If Chen Fan had no connection to Xia Bingqing, would he have gotten angry and attacked you? Can't you understand such a simple reason?"
"Idiot!"
Yin Jie froze on the spot.
He couldn't speak.
It was at this moment that the fear in his heart amplified infinitely.
"Dad... Dad, what should I do now? I don't want to become useless again!"
"Dad..."
Yin Laosan said angrily, "For your own safety, leave Shancheng immediately!"
"Find a place where no one knows you and hide for a while!"
"Do you understand?"
"Remember, don't cause trouble for me once you're out!"
"Yes..."
Yin Jie didn't dare to say anything more, nor did he waste any time, fleeing Shancheng as quickly as possible.
As for Yin Laosan, he was still filled with lingering fear and a great sense of unease. It felt like being slowly cut by a dull knife.
In the hotel...
An Ye looked at Chen Fan with a smile. "What happened to those two from the Yin family?"
Chen Fan waved his hand. "It's nothing!"
He was too lazy to say more about standing up for Xia Bingqing.
It was only now that Chen Fan realized that feelings truly developed subtly.
That's right, it was only now that Chen Fan had a belated realization: he had Xia Bingqing in his heart.
"Hmph... if you don't want to say, don't say it. You're being so mysterious, as if I really want to hear it!" An Ye flipped her hair, acting incredibly proud. "What do you think of my new hairstyle?"
Chen Fan perfunctorily replied, "Beautiful!"
"If it's beautiful, why aren't you looking more?" An Ye pouted unhappily. In front of Chen Fan, she had none of the demeanor of a Grandmaster.
She was like an ordinary girl in front of the person she fancied.
Chen Fan chose to remain silent, and An Ye didn't say much more, only mumbling unhappily in her heart...
Before long, Li Qingfeng from Qingfeng Pavilion personally came to pick up Chen Fan and An Ye. Upon seeing them, he bowed respectfully with a martial arts salute.
Li Qingfeng said, "Young Master Chen, Grandmaster An, the envoy from Yaowang Valley has arrived. I've come specifically to invite you!"
Chen Fan nodded. "Alright!"
An Ye then asked, "How many people have come from Yaowang Valley?"
Li Qingfeng didn't know why An Ye was asking, but he truthfully replied, "One person!"
An Ye acknowledged this, and they then set off for Qingfeng Pavilion...
