Upon seeing Chu Fan, He Yunxiao immediately told the coachman to stop.
Then she lifted the curtains to watch Chu Fan's antics.
Fan Ziruo was quite curious to see He Yunxiao's keen interest, because he was so excited that he even removed the hand that was covering her ears.
"Young master, what's wrong?"
When He Yunxiao heard his sister Ziruo calling him, he laughed and said, "Ziruo, look who that is!" Then he suddenly realized that he had gotten so excited that he had forgotten to shield his sister Ziruo from the noise.
“Ziruo, come here, let me cover your ears.”
Fan Ziruo pressed down He Yunxiao's outstretched hand and said, "Young Master underestimates Ziruo too much. Although Ziruo doesn't like noise, she's not so bad as to feel uncomfortable or lose her mind when she hears it."
He Yunxiao said with concern, "You must tell me if you are not feeling well."
Hearing He Yunxiao's concern, Fan Ziruo was genuinely happy and smiled, "I understand."
"Come here, Ziruo, look over there."
He Yunxiao moved aside a bit so that Fan Ziruo could also see outside.
Fan Ziruo shifted her position, pressing herself against He Yunxiao again to look out the window.
She knew all about the proper etiquette between men and women, such as "men and women should not touch each other," but even knowing all that, she felt no aversion to being close to He Yunxiao. She even secretly hoped that she could get closer to him a little longer.
Mr. Yuhe, Xiaoziruo: Do you understand the separation between men and women?
Don't overthink it, Xiao Ziruo: I understand.
Rain: Do you understand that men and women are different?
not understand.
Rain: Do you understand that men and women should not touch each other?
not understand.
Rain: Since you understand all this, why do you still sit so close to Young Master He? Doesn't that make you seem very frivolous?
No: Don't overthink it. When you look out the window from a carriage, aren't the horses all close together?
Rain: That's just making excuses!
No: Don't overthink it, it's nothing.
...
Although Chu Fan, the young master, was not far from the window, Fan Ziruo had no interest in looking at him at all.
For her now, the only men in this world are He Yunxiao and everyone else.
Who is Chu Fan? I really don't know him.
Fan Ziruo was busy enjoying the feeling of being close to He Yunxiao, but she also had to spare some attention to maintain the intense battle between the two little figures in her mind. Although her eyes were looking out the window, she didn't actually retain any images in her mind.
It wasn't until He Yunxiao's expression changed and he said "Oh no!" that her thoughts were pulled back to reality.
Fan Ziruo saw Chu Fan and several others sitting at the entrance of the martial arts school, seemingly accepting apprentices. In the distance, a group of people dressed in neat blue-black clothes approached and surrounded Chu Fan and his group. Not only were their clothes identical, but their hairstyles and weapons were also all the same.
Their hairstyles were all the same: a buzz cut. And their weapons were all straight-backed horizontal swords.
Fan Ziru frowned and said, "Young Master Chu is in danger."
He Yunxiao wasn't worried about Chu Fan at all. He was the protagonist, and protagonists have protagonist halo. Would it be stupid to worry about him? Even if the world were destroyed, Chu Fan would be fine.
"If Chu Fan is alright, then those guys are in big trouble."
Fan Ziru thought she had misheard and blinked at He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao explained, "Chu Fan's martial arts are extremely strong; very few people in the world can rival him. Don't be fooled by the large number of people in this group; they probably wouldn't even be able to harm a hair on Chu Fan's head."
Then, he pointed to the leader of the men wielding knives and said, "Ziruo, look, isn't that young master your student?"
Fan Ziru followed He Yunxiao's finger and indeed saw a familiar figure.
"Hmm. Pang Ce. He's usually quiet and doesn't seem to get along with anyone, but he's very diligent in his studies."
He Yunxiao also had a deep impression of Pang Ce.
Although the State of Qi did not regulate hairstyles, Pang Ce's short hair stood out among the group of long-haired young men.
Moreover, he was one of the few students in Fan Ziruo's class who didn't covet Fan Ziruo's beauty and studied diligently, which made him even more conspicuous.
His surname was Pang, and considering the group's neat attire and their almost synchronized movements when surrounding Chu Fan and Tie Weiqi, He Yunxiao immediately deduced their origins based on the original owner's memories.
The Short Knife Gang of the North City.
This gang is the weakest of the three major gangs in Yinjing, but precisely because of this, it is also the most cohesive. This can be seen simply by looking at their clothing and actions.
He Yunxiao looked at Tie Weiqi, the young master of the Iron Eagle Gang, who was sitting next to Chu Fan, and then at the group of menacing members of the Short Knife Gang.
I exclaimed in my heart, "A classic!"
The protagonist's classic moment of showing off only to be slapped in the face!
The people on the street were terrified by the sudden appearance of this group of knife-wielding men and scattered in all directions, leaving the once bustling street deserted. Only the entrance to the martial arts school where Chu Fan and Tie Weiqi sat upright was packed with people.
However, most of these people were members of the Short Knife Gang, a dark mass of them, and everyone was silent.
He Yunxiao extended his hand to Fan Ziruo and said, "Ziruo, I'll take you to another place to watch the excitement."
When Fan Ziruo saw him extend his hand to her, although she knew it was impolite, she just wanted to be close to He Yunxiao and wanted to give herself to him. After a slight hesitation, she still offered her slender hand to He Yunxiao so that he could hold it.
He Yunxiao took Ziruo's hand and led her off the carriage. They then found a restaurant and went up to the second floor to watch the scene unfold at the entrance of the martial arts school.
This place offers a wide view, making it a great spot to watch a play.
However, before He Yunxiao could even start watching the show, he felt his little sister Ziruo's hand tug at his hand restlessly.
He Yunxiao turned to look at her and asked with concern, "Ziruo, what's wrong?"
Fan Ziruo frowned and said worriedly, "He Yunxiao, there are several people watching me."
He Yunxiao: ?
Then, looking around, good heavens, there were still a few tables on the second floor of the restaurant. They probably wanted to watch the Iron Eagle Gang's antics, but now they were all watching Ziruo.
Taking the female lead out has this downside: it draws too much attention. It might also attract all sorts of trouble. That's just how the female lead's aura is; there's nothing you can do about it.
He Yunxiao grabbed Fan Ziruo's hand, pulled her behind him to protect her, and then roared arrogantly, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman before? Do you know who I am? I am He Yunxiao, the wicked one. If you're not afraid of death, keep looking. See if I'll help you burn paper money next year."
These words, though harsh, had an immediate effect. Almost everyone lowered their heads, except for one elegantly dressed young man.
The man stood up and said, “Young Master He, I’ve long admired your name. However, I disagree with your theory of ‘appreciating women.’ Everyone has an appreciation for beauty. This young lady is beautiful, and it’s perfectly normal for us to be attracted to her. You don’t need to be so hasty; it only makes you seem unworthy of the quiet young lady beside you. Oh, by the way, I am…”
He Yunxiao retorted directly, "I don't care who you are! I've seen your mother, and you're still so calm and collected? Does that make me your father? You think you can trick me into lowering my status to be your father? No way!"
The elegant young man was stunned by He Yunxiao's scolding and didn't immediately understand what He Yunxiao meant.
He Yunxiao then said, "Waiter! Take my wife and me to the private room!"
