Du Yinyun's favorability rating has increased from 75 to 76.
Although Du Yinyun's favorability rating is optimistic, He Yunxiao's situation with Chu Fan is not optimistic.
After He Yunxiao loudly announced that he had come to apologize, the expressions on the faces of the people around Chu Fan were quite interesting.
Some were surprised, some were astonished, some were bewildered...
On the contrary, Chu Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao, the parties involved, remained unchanged.
It's understandable that Chu Xiaoxiao hasn't changed, since we had informed her beforehand.
The key question is, why didn't Chu Fan, the protagonist who hates evil and is also a sister-complex, react at all?
Logically speaking, Chu Fan should have held a grudge against me for my disrespectful remarks towards Chu Xiaoxiao. Even though I didn't participate in the martial arts competition, his desire to kill me shouldn't have changed. Now that I've delivered myself to his doorstep, why is Chu Fan suddenly backing down?
At this moment, Chu Fan's mood could not be described as calm as still water, but it could also be described as completely undisturbed.
Not long ago, Chu Xiaoxiao had told him about her relationship with He Yunxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and told Chu Fan the "truth" as soon as she returned to Chunfeng Tower.
Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao return, Chu Fan, still worried about his sister running away, quickly said, "Xiaoxiao, what happened just now..."
Chu Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Brother, He Yunxiao just asked me to go out."
Chu Fan's heart skipped a beat, thinking: It really was him.
Chu Xiaoxiao knew that her brother, Chu Fan, hated evil and wanted nothing more than to kill He Yunxiao, a scoundrel who did everything except cause trouble. However, He Yunxiao had proven his strength by dealing with Du Yinyun, and now this纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute young man) was of great use to her; he couldn't die.
Determined to save He Yunxiao's life, she planned to reinforce her brother's previous suspicions: that He Yunxiao was actually a "fake playboy, but a true gentleman."
So he said, "Just as my brother guessed, the Great Qi values civil officials over military ones. General He commands a large army, and He Yunxiao is afraid that his excellence will arouse the court's suspicion. Therefore, he has no choice but to pretend to be a playboy to protect his life. He asked me to go out just now to apologize to me."
Chu Fan was relieved to see that He Yunxiao was talking to his sister about serious business.
He thought: Xiaoxiao is only sixteen years old, an age when she is easily deceived. I hope she won't be fooled by He Yunxiao.
...
Fearing that Chu Fan hadn't heard him, He Yunxiao began to apologize even more vehemently.
"Brother Chu, Miss Chu, I was rude before. I said I wanted to enjoy the moonlight with Miss Chu, and I couldn't control myself and touched Miss Chu's face. I now realize my mistake and I am very sorry!"
Chu Fan: ...
Chu Xiaoxiao: ……
Everyone: Are you here to cause trouble?
He Yunxiao: ?
He Yunxiao was very puzzled.
Why didn't Chu Fan roar "You scoundrel, die!" and then rush up and beat me up?
How come this is different from what's written in the novel? Chu Fan isn't a sister-complex anymore? Could it be that because I survived, the timeline changed, and Chu Fan's personality even changed?
I absolutely have to make Chu Fan hit me!
He Yunxiao didn't mince words and said directly, "Brother Chu, we martial artists put aside everything else and all our loyalty is expressed in our fists and feet! Would you be interested in exchanging a few moves with me? To apologize to Chu Chu and Miss Chu, I'm willing to give you three moves!"
Everyone present gasped in shock.
A seventh-rank fighter against a ninth-rank fighter? And he even has to let the other player make three moves?
Those who know He Yunxiao said, "That's exactly how Young Master He is!"
Those who didn't know He Yunxiao asked, "Could this be the Marquis's son?"
In short, He Yunxiao once again maintained his villainous identity with his arrogance.
Without waiting for Chu Fan's reply, He Yunxiao took it as a yes and walked to the front of the arena to watch the ongoing beauty pageant competition.
The two people on stage shuddered under He Yunxiao's gaze.
He Yunxiao generously said, "It's okay, you guys keep fighting, Chu Fan and I will wait for you for a while."
Me and Chu Fan?
A young master from a noble family and a twenty-year-old martial arts prodigy of the ninth rank?
Should we make these two people wait?
The two dared not delay any longer and rushed to admit defeat and slip off the stage.
He Yunxiao increasingly felt that being a villain was a good thing.
When you're a good person, if you're polite to others, they'll take advantage of you; when you're a villain, if you're polite to others, they'll only be more polite to you.
Sitting next to Chu Fan, Yang Qi felt something was off. He had often heard of He Yunxiao; the scoundrel was indeed arrogant and skilled in martial arts, but he wasn't stupid either. Even a pig would know that a seventh-rank fighter had no chance against a ninth-rank fighter, so why did He Yunxiao seem so determined to fight Chu Fan?
This is like farting through your belly button—how could it make a sound?
Yang Qi was always cautious, so he immediately said to Chu Fan, "Brother Chu, He Yunxiao's martial arts are far inferior to yours. This is like throwing an egg against a rock; I'm afraid it's a trap."
The young man in white, Liu Feiyun of Zuixianju, waved his fan and said, "Brother Yang, you are overthinking it. When Brother Chu was fighting Liu Kaixiong just now, He Yunxiao had already left. He didn't know that Chu Fan was a ninth-rank martial artist and wanted to teach Brother Chu a lesson with his seventh-rank martial arts. What's so strange about that?"
The fat man, Shen Kuan, who had just been humiliated by He Yunxiao, also joined in the commotion.
“That’s right, Feiyun is right. He Yunxiao is used to being arrogant, and he’s bullied the weak countless times. But he didn’t expect Brother Chu to have the strength of a ninth-rank, far surpassing his seventh-rank! Brother Chu, there’s no need to hold back then. Let He Yunxiao know what it means to be outmatched!”
“That’s not appropriate.” Yan Cong, a gaunt man and a retainer of Prince Qi, said, “No matter what He Yunxiao’s purpose is, he is still the eldest son of the Marquis’s family. Chu Fan’s martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary, but it is unwise to offend the Marquis for the sake of a momentary argument. I think this duel should be stopped when it’s over.”
Chu Fan was focused on his sister and swordsmanship, and faced with these complicated matters, he couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at his sister.
