728: Chapter 717: Just Let Me Be Your Ninth Master 728: Chapter 717: Just Let Me Be Your Ninth Master Jiuye, no one here is unfamiliar with that name.
Although Six Fan Gate dominates in the West District, its leader, Zi Hongyu, was brought up by Ning Fan himself.
This man, who had once disappeared, recently reemerged in Jianghu.
Famous as he was, the real person is now before them, and these few finally realized what formidable figure they had provoked.
“Jiuye, Jiuye!
Spare me, please spare me!
It was my ignorance, please let me off!”
The man who had spoken disrespectfully to Ning Fan earlier was on the verge of tears, trying to crawl towards Ning Fan, but before he could get close, he was kicked away by a man accompanying Zi Hongyu.
“What trash, not even worthy to be near Jiuye!”
Zi Hongyu’s men surrounded them, and in moments they were crying for their mothers.
This incident occurred while Ning Fan, as the manager of the West District, was still present, and now Zi Hongyu was furious enough to kill.
The fools who watched over the place were good for nothing but creating trouble.
Zi Hongyu knew too well that Ning Fan detested those who stooped so low as to steal and cheat.
Recently, Zi Hongyu had also been keeping an eye on this matter, but with so many layers of hierarchy, it was impossible for him to manage everyone.
Today was the same; these men coveted Feiyue’s beauty and forgot the warnings passed down.
And, the unluckiest part was they were seen by Ning Fan, and they had no place to argue their innocence.
“They are your men.”
With just a single sentence from Ning Fan, Zi Hongyu should have understood what needed to be done next.
Zi Hongyu nodded with a stern face and fiercely ordered, “Take them away and rotate the punishments!”
No matter how the men pleaded, no one could save them; they had only themselves to blame for provoking the wrong person.
Zi Hongyu’s subordinates took them all away; their fate was clear without needing further explanation.
After they had left, desperate cries could still be heard in the distance.
“Are you alright?”
Ning Fan turned to Feiyue, his gaze somewhat amazed.
A woman like Feiyue was rare, and her martial skills were commendable; she seemed to possess the power of the True Qi Realm.
When he noticed the commotion here earlier, Ning Fan instantly recognized Feiyue’s extraordinary posture, and he saw through her capabilities.
While he did not have to intervene, it was still his territory, and it was unfortunate for those men to have crossed paths with a martial artist.
And Ning Fan hated people like them most, even if they were just hooking up; such despicable means were intolerable.
Furthermore, judging by Feiyue’s appearance, it seemed it was her first time here, so Ning Fan chose to get involved.
“No issues, just a bit annoyed…”
Feiyue looked at Ning Fan, unaware that the man before her was the one she sought.
Just now, both Zi Hongyu and those men referred to Ning Fan as Jiuye instead of his real name.
And since Feiyue did not know what Ning Fan looked like, she thought of him as someone who helped out the oppressed.
Seeing Zi Hongyu’s respectful manner towards Ning Fan and the others’ fear of him, Feiyue grew curious and interested, asking, “Jiuye, is that your name?”
If that was also a name, it would indeed be strange, but Feiyue wasn’t naive; she understood that “Jiuye” was clearly just a title Ning Fan carried.
Ning Fan saw that Feiyue, a martial artist, had no arrogance and took a liking to her, and he casually responded, “You can say that.”
It seemed that he had no intention of revealing his real name to Feiyue.
“Chance encounters like this, finding someone as good as you is rare.”
“I am not exactly a good person; those men would have been unlucky even without my presence.”
Regarding Feiyue’s words, Ning Fan just smiled.
Even if he hadn’t stepped in, those men wouldn’t have been able to walk out on their own.
They were just a bunch of drunks, but the woman in front of them was a Martial Artist in the True Qi Realm.
The difference in strength was clear.
If a fight really had broken out, they wouldn’t even have been able to touch the hem of Feiyue’s clothes.
The bartender from earlier had already left with someone because he did something good at the end; thus, he saved his own life.
However, he didn’t have the face to stay any longer, considering he was an accomplice and the person he dealt with was Ninth Master.
“Is this your first time here?”
Out of curiosity, Ning Fan asked.
Zi Hongyu also didn’t leave but tactfully led people away to a distance.
Feiyue didn’t think much of it and casually replied, “It’s my first time in Zhonghai, but it’s also my first time in a bar!”
“I see.”
Ning Fan took a careful look at Feiyue, as if trying to remember her face.
“Thanks for tonight, Ninth Master.”
Feiyue smiled slightly.
Because of what had happened earlier, the whole bar was cleared, and all the customers had been sent out.
The vast bar suddenly became desolate.
Although Feiyue was initially excited, this incident had calmed her down, so she planned to go back and rest.
Ning Fan waved his hand, watching as Feiyue left.
He didn’t inquire about Feiyue’s real name; after all, their meeting was ephemeral—fate would bring them together again if it was meant to be.
“Ninth Master.”
Seeing that Feiyue had left, Zi Hongyu immediately came over, his expression somewhat uneasy.
Ning Fan glanced at him, “In the future, tell your people not to stir up trouble everywhere.
That woman just now could have hung you all up and beaten you with one hand.”
Zi Hongyu was taken aback and instinctively looked in the direction Feiyue had left.
Was that woman as formidable as Ninth Master said?
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you, but tell your people to be more careful lately.
This time you encountered someone with a good temper who didn’t want to pursue the matter.
You might not be so lucky next time.”
Ning Fan reminded Zi Hongyu.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes!”
Zi Hongyu was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly.
He didn’t doubt Ning Fan’s words at all; today’s incident indeed reflected his poor management, letting Ning Fan witness a farce.
“Alright, it’s getting late, I’ll be off now.”
Ning Fan had no interest in staying any longer.
Seeing him about to leave, Zi Hongyu immediately led his men to see Ning Fan off, but ultimately, Ning Fan refused.
Before leaving, Ning Fan left a message—
“Remember what I’ve told you to do!”
His words referred to the matters concerning the Yunteng Family.
In the coming days, Zhonghai might see some unwelcome visitors.
Zi Hongyu and his men, acting as the eyes, must not slack off.
Zi Hongyu stood at the entrance of the bar, not daring to leave until Ning Fan’s figure had completely disappeared.
