He Yunxiao took a step back, bringing Fan Ziruo and Chu Fan into his field of vision at the same time.
Fan Ziruo's favorability towards Chu Fan is 50%.
Looking at Pang Ce, who had been beaten on the ground, and Zi Ruo's unchanged affection for Chu Fan, He Yunxiao guessed that Zi Ruo's affection for Chu Fan naturally decreased after he successfully confessed his feelings.
It's even possible that it had already dropped, but she rarely contacted Chu Fan afterward, and she never checked it again using the system.
It doesn't make sense that she could maintain such a high level of affection for herself while also maintaining a relatively high level of affection for others. The current situation, where she automatically lowers her affection for others because she likes herself, is the more normal occurrence.
He Yunxiao knew that Chu Fan was the protagonist, and there was no reason for the protagonist to do bad things, but Fan Ziruo did not know this. So when she saw Pang Ce being beaten and wanted to go down to see what was happening, He Yunxiao advised her, "Ziruo, gang fighting, things are probably not simple."
Fan Ziruo said, "I know, I just wanted to go down and take a look. Young Master Chu is quite chivalrous, but Young Master Pang, from what I've seen, doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do bad things. There must be some misunderstanding here."
He Yunxiao thought to himself: No matter what misunderstanding there is, Chu Fan is definitely not in the wrong.
Although He Yunxiao could understand Fan Ziruo's feelings, when he saw the Short Knife Gang downstairs, each carrying a large, straight-backed knife and looking expressionless and ready to chop someone at any moment, he would never let Fan Ziruo take the risk.
"Ziruo, you stay here and watch over things. I'll go ask what's going on."
Fan Ziruo calmly said, "I can talk to both Young Master Chu and Young Master Pang. I'll go with you."
He Yunxiao resolutely refused.
"No. You wait here, I'll go ask."
Seeing He Yunxiao's refusal so decisively, Fan Ziruo said anxiously, "Young master, you don't have a deep relationship with them, so they may not listen to you. I am both a young lady of the Fan family and a teacher at the academy, and I have connections with them. If there is any misunderstanding between them, it would be best if you took me to mediate."
Fan Ziruo's words made a lot of sense and might be the best solution at present. However, He Yunxiao did not agree with this reasoning.
"You're not allowed to go. I don't care what conflicts they have; I'm only going out of a sense of duty. In short, for me, He Yunxiao, your safety, Fan Ziruo, is my top priority. I'll be right back. If you dare to run off on your own, be careful, I'll punish you according to my family rules. I'm leaving."
Fan Ziruo felt a mix of emotions as she listened to He Yunxiao's words.
There was a lot of worry for him, and frustration at not being able to resolve the situation, but even more so, the joy of being told sweet words. Nothing brings more happiness than the care and concern of a loved one.
Fan Ziruo knew that He Yunxiao's trip might not solve the problem at all, but she didn't blame him at all. Just like He Yunxiao never resented her, how could you blame a man who was devoted to you? Even if he hadn't done enough, she felt no resentment whatsoever.
Without wasting any words, He Yunxiao used his lightness skill to jump down from the second floor of the restaurant.
After landing smoothly, I walked towards the entrance of the martial arts school.
The situation there was clearly visible from the second floor of the restaurant, but once you landed on the ground, all you could see were the backs of the Short Knife Gang members, and you couldn't see anything inside.
He Yunxiao squeezed into the crowd of Short Knife Gang members and said, "Make way, make way, let me through."
Unexpectedly, the members of the Short Knife Gang were very disciplined, and no one moved an inch to make way for He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao had no choice but to say, "I am Pang Ce's classmate! I'm here to help him, so all of you get out of my way."
This tactic worked; the crowd parted to create a narrow path for He Yunxiao to walk through.
He Yunxiao thought the matter was over, but he realized he was wrong when he entered the area. Two members of the Short Knife Gang, who appeared to be minor leaders, immediately guarded him point-to-point.
One of them said, "Young master, we appreciate your kindness. But our young leader is currently sparring with the Iron Eagle Gang, and no one else is allowed to interfere."
He Yunxiao looked at Pang Ce, who was being repeatedly knocked to the ground by Chu Fan, and said, "He's in this state, aren't you going to help him?"
"When it comes to a one-on-one duel, no one else is allowed to interfere; that's the rule of the martial arts world."
He Yunxiao thought to himself, "Wow!"
Damn it, a whole bunch of people with knives are beating up a few people, and they just have to force a minor villain who can't even beat the protagonist to fight him one-on-one. The others just stand there dumbfounded.
I have people and a knife but I don't use them, so I get beaten up by the protagonist. Sigh, it's just for fun.
He Yunxiao couldn't stand it anymore.
Pang Ce is a hothead. If he keeps getting beaten like this, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose all his martial arts skills and be crippled for life. Besides, this kid is quite talented. He looks to be in his early twenties, yet he can actually beat Tie Weiqi. It's too pitiful that such a promising young talent has been crippled by Chu Fan like this.
Back when He Yunxiao was at Chunfeng Tower, he was also beaten by Chu Fan, but his situation was different from Pang Ce's. He had the Soul-Devouring Pill, so being beaten didn't matter to him. On the contrary, Chu Fan beat the female lead, Du Yinyun, into He Yunxiao's lapdog with punch after punch.
He Yunxiao shouted, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! This is a misunderstanding!"
Upon hearing his good brother-in-law's voice, Chu Fan immediately stopped what he was doing, looked up at He Yunxiao, and said happily, "Brother He, what brings you here?"
Pang Ce, whose head was beaten into a pig's head on the ground, also turned to look at He Yunxiao.
"He Yunxiao?"
Pang Ce had always had a bad impression of He Yunxiao. He Yunxiao's reputation was well-known, and his behavior in class was always restless, not at all like someone who wanted to study properly. But Pang Ce never expected that He Yunxiao, in this situation, would actually be here, and even intend to mediate a fight.
