210: Chapter 210: Don’t Tell My Sister 210: Chapter 210: Don’t Tell My Sister Ning Fan could give him everything, and just as naturally, take it all back, so now Zi Hongyu didn’t dare feel any mercy, and was left with nothing but deep reverence for Ning Fan, because the means of Ninth Master were definitely far more complex!
“Did you alarm Ninth Master?” Zi Hongyu narrowed his eyes, asking somewhat anxiously.
He feared that his men had disturbed Ning Fan, causing the latter’s displeasure.
At that time, Zi Hongyu would have to swallow his own teeth and pray that Ning Fan would not be too harsh on him.
A trace of astonishment flashed in his subordinate’s eyes—such a helpless demeanor was unprecedented in Zi Hongyu, the boss of Six Fan Gate.
Surprised by this, the subordinate also clearly heard Zi Hongyu’s words and immediately replied respectfully, “Lord Zi, rest assured, I reminded them repeatedly down the line not to alarm Ninth Master and not to upset His Eldership!”
Upon hearing this, Zi Hongyu nodded.
The person before him was sensible, understanding his thoughts well.
He was merely scouting, being extremely cautious in the process and did not disturb Ning Fan.
“Withdraw everyone and also instruct, from now on, upon meeting Ninth Master, everyone must act wisely.
If I am your grandfather, then Ninth Master is your ancestor,
In places outside our territory, I won’t interfere, but in our turf of Six Fan Gate, if anyone dares to upset Ninth Master, hmph!
Let that person ready their neck, I’ll personally deal with them!”
Zi Hongyu’s voice grew louder and louder, eventually echoing like thunder in the room, immersing his subordinate in immense shock.
Nobody knew how panicked Zi Hongyu’s heart had been — the moment he ended Long Tianze’s call, just the thought of Ning Fan left him feeling powerless and devastated.
He now dared not provoke Ning Fan, his mind full of thoughts about how to prevent Ning Fan’s scythe from targeting him and how to make amends.
During this time, Zi Hongyu knew that he and the Six Fan Gate must keep a low profile, it was best not to disturb Ning Fan; Gu Leng’s death was a warning.
“Lord Zi…
I understand!”
The subordinate looked at Zi Hongyu, wanting to ask more, but when he met Zi Hongyu’s unequivocal eyes, he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue.
At this time, to inquire about something he shouldn’t could upset Zi Hongyu but was also like inviting a deadly disaster upon himself.
The subordinate understood this and immediately left to pass Zi Hongyu’s instructions to everyone at Six Fan Gate.
Zi Hongyu pressed his temples, his face full of worries as he gazed out the window, uncertain if the direction he was looking in was where Ning Fan was.
…
Elsewhere, Ning Fan was trying to perform the yoga poses taught by Xu Xiaoqing, making a very inaccurate pose.
After ending the slightly awkward moment before, Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing tacitly avoided mentioning the awkward incident, as though forgetting what had happened earlier.
“Your pose is wrong, how many times have I told you!”
Xu Xiaoqing looked at Ning Fan with frustration, yet she felt a small sense of achievement because, in this field she was skilled in, she could finally boss Ning Fan around.
Was this the thrill of revenge?
Xu Xiaoqing certainly wouldn’t admit she was actually very happy seeing Ning Fan’s comical posture!
Ning Fan looked at the girl helplessly, thinking she really was hard to please.
He somewhat regretted coming to practice yoga with her.
As he was mentally drifting, Xu Xiaoqing had already approached, guiding him in the posture of a teacher.
However,
Just then, Ning Fan suddenly shook and, losing his balance, he fell toward Xu Xiaoqing.
Neither of them reacted in time.
Xu Xiaoqing only saw a dark shadow looming before her, then she instinctively closed her eyes.
With a thud, Ning Fan pressed Xu Xiaoqing onto the floor.
“Oof!”
Time seemed to freeze, as Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing stared at each other in astonishment.
Their lips met directly.
Feeling the moistness and softness on his lips, Ning Fan instinctively moved his hands, only to feel a soft sensation from his touch, which was really delightful!
“Ah!”
However, it was precisely because of Ning Fan’s movement that Xu Xiaoqing finally snapped out of her shock.
“You dumb fool, can you move your mouth away?”
Xu Xiaoqing turned her head with a red face and looked away, her voice sounding quite unnatural.
Only then did Ning Fan realize what had happened, and he stood up immediately, terrified, unable to utter a word as he looked at Xu Xiaoqing, who was still sitting on the ground.
Embarrassment, capital letters EMBARRASSMENT, all from doing yoga!
At that moment, Xu Xiaoqing couldn’t help but look at Ning Fan, her face turning completely red.
Ning Fan forced a stiff smile, just about to explain, when Xu Xiaoqing stood up, her face crimson, and spoke before him,
“It’s just a kiss, look how flustered you are…”
Xu Xiaoqing’s gaze darted around, and though she seemed indifferent, her anxious, shy eyes betrayed her clever spirit.
How could Ning Fan be flustered?
He was embarrassed, and logically, he was the one who had taken advantage at that moment…
Now, looking at the most flustered person, it was still Xu Xiaoqing.
Although she verbally didn’t care, her various small actions had already betrayed her, and Ning Fan, who observed everything closely, naturally noticed it all.
“Well, girl, it was a misunderstanding, are you going to blame me?”
Ning Fan tentatively asked.
“Yes, it’s just a misunderstanding, I know, it’s just a kiss, it’s not like I lost a chunk of flesh, I’m a well-educated lady, how could I blame you for this…”
Xu Xiaoqing tried to act calm, though she didn’t know why she was explaining.
Logically, the one who should be explaining was the other person in the room, the other party involved, Ning Fan.
The way Xu Xiaoqing reacted rather startled Ning Fan, making him wonder if she had hit her head earlier?
Or perhaps Ning Fan had accidentally hit her head?
At this moment, Ning Fan’s face lacked his usual carefree smile, only showing deep confusion and concern in his eyes.
Xu Xiaoqing’s reaction was a bit strange…
“You dumb fool, don’t be scared, I’m fine, what are you panicking about?”
Since Ning Fan hadn’t responded for a while, Xu Xiaoqing thought he had been frightened and thus began to “comfort” him.
However, her gaze couldn’t meet Ning Fan’s face, and even Xu Xiaoqing didn’t know why; her lips slightly curled up, a small detail even she herself didn’t notice.
For some reason, Xu Xiaoqing felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, which changed her expression slightly when Ning Fan noticed it, and she could no longer maintain her calm demeanor.
Now, Ning Fan was truly shocked, her sudden change of expression made him really think she was affected by the incident earlier, so he immediately said worriedly,
“Are you okay?”
“Ah?” Xu Xiaoqing instinctively raised her head to look at Ning Fan, a face both dazed yet flawless appeared in Ning Fan’s vision.
Before Ning Fan could appreciate it, Xu Xiaoqing strangely yelled, “Ah!”
Xu Xiaoqing’s face flushed red, and she hastily covered her mouth, her eyes showing embarrassment and a hint of resentment.
“What could possibly be wrong with me, it was all a misunderstanding, let’s pretend this never happened, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, don’t tell anyone, especially not my sister!”
