Chapter 311: Chapter 314 Can You Do Me a Favor?

Jin Xiaohan did not speak; he couldn’t understand his father’s words, nor did he agree with them. For him, revenge had become the sole purpose of living!

Initially, he thought that he would never have a chance to exact his revenge, because the gap in strength was just too vast. Xiaoyi was such an amazing martial artist, and he also had such a deadly assassin friend. What could he possibly do?

However, just when he had lost all hope, a wonderful piece of news unexpectedly fell from the sky.

Seeing his son wither away in despair and pain each day, his father eventually gritted his teeth and told him something completely unexpected. Many years ago, a hermit master from the North who had passed through G City wanted to take him as a disciple, but he and his mother had refused. Afterward, they were given an address and were told that if they wished, they could seek him out at any time.

He told him that if he was willing to learn from that master, perhaps he could have a chance to return and seek revenge.

Upon hearing this news, he immediately asked his father to contact that master to see if he could still be found—after all, it had been more than a decade.

After several days of anxious waiting, his father finally returned with good news: the master was still there and still willing to take him as a disciple, although he warned that it would be extremely difficult since he was past the prime age for martial arts training!

After learning that he could still find the master and become his disciple, Jin Xiaohan regarded nothing else and without hesitation brought up to his father the request to go. For revenge, he was willing to do anything. What was a little hardship? Moreover, it would allow him to become a great master himself!

Jin Dongming also knew that he could not stop his son’s determination. In his view, it would be good for his son to train and become stronger. In any event, it was a good thing. Besides, given the current situation, he didn’t feel at ease with his son remaining in G City. Judging from his son’s attitude, the enmity with Xiaoyi had reached an unusual level, and Xiaoyi, having an assassin friend, might come back to settle the score. He had only this one son!

Today, he was at the school with his son to handle the leave of absence procedures.

Looking at his son’s expression, Jin Dongming’s heart trembled again. He sighed softly, his gaze becoming complex. He suddenly felt that his earlier decision might not have been the right one, but at this point, he didn’t know what to say. He could only pray silently, hoping his son would indeed learn the unmatched skills of the master, eventually resolving his inner turmoil.

"Boss, boss, is it really you? Wait for me!!"

Xiao Yi had just stepped into the teaching building when he heard an incredibly excited voice next to him.

"Fatty Tang, why are you so late too?"

Xiao Yi turned around to see Tang Feng, gasping for breath as he caught up, and couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise in his eyes. He had practiced Kung Fu last night more diligently than usual and had gotten up quite late this morning. After breakfast, it was already getting late. He had timed his arrival, and now as he walked to the classroom, the bell for class was about to ring. He hadn’t expected Fatty Tang to be so late as well.

"I... I went to bed late last night and almost overslept this morning, so I’m a bit late. Boss, it’s really you, that’s great, you’re finally back."

As Fatty Tang was panting, he excitedly reached forward and grabbed his hand, exclaiming.

"Uh... I had to deal with some things this time, it was rather sudden, and I didn’t have the chance to tell you guys about it."

Xiao Yi looked at the excited expression on Fatty Tang’s face and felt slightly embarrassed. But then, he sensed something was amiss and quickly caught the slip in his words, carefully lifting his eyes to look at Fatty Tang, "What do you mean by ’finally back’? Have you been looking forward to my return?!"

"Do you have something on your mind? Spit it out!"

The more he spoke, the more convinced Xiao Yi became by looking at Fatty Tang’s demeanor, and he said straightforwardly.

"Boss, you are wronging me here, I really just missed you. It’s been so long since you’ve been back; it’s perfectly normal to look forward to your return, isn’t it?"

Fatty Tang, having been grilled by Xiao Yi, showed a trace of aggrieved and resentful expression as he spoke.

"Really? Just that?"

Xiao Yi looked at Fatty Tang with a mix of belief and doubt.

He still felt that Fatty Tang’s expression was somewhat off. If you talked about the past, when Fatty Tang said something like this, he would have never doubted it nor had any second thoughts, but now, with Li Ling in the picture, his expression gave Xiao Yi reasonable grounds for suspicion.

Ever since they found Li Ling, Fatty Tang seemed to have been almost entirely preoccupied with her, and, of course, this wasn’t to say Fatty Tang was the sort to prioritize romance over friendship. Xiao Yi knew that Fatty Tang had no prior experience in the matters of love and was a blank slate emotionally. Now that he had suddenly found his long-lost crush, his passionate involvement was understandable to Xiao Yi.

But to judge the matter on its own, from his behavior in the recent past, he was not someone who would become so sentimental in just under ten days of separation.

"Really... Absolutely true, but..."

Fatty Tang swore earnestly, raising his hand, but after just one sentence, his tone faltered, his gaze turned timid, and he could no longer meet Xiao Yi’s eyes straight on.

"But what? Out with it, and cut the runaround."

Seeing Fatty Tang’s demeanor, Xiao Yi immediately rolled his eyes, showing a ’I knew it’ expression. While continuing to walk upstairs, he waved his hand and said.

"Boss, you really are a visionary, all wise and astute, dashingly handsome. My admiration for you..."

Fatty Tang showed a slight embarrassed look on his face, but then quickly started speaking with renewed fervor.

"Are you going to talk or not? If you’re not going to say it, then don’t bother."

Listerning to Fatty Tang’s flurry of words, Xiao Yi instantly felt a wave of numbness crawling over his scalp. With great difficulty, he found the energy to interrupt him, because it was imperative to do so; he had already climbed a floor and his stomach could hardly take it anymore, while Fatty Tang seemed to have finished only a small part of what he had to say...

He realized that he had really misjudged the guy, or rather, he had made a mistake, should not have accompanied him to find Li Ling. Without finding Li Ling, the kid wouldn’t have fallen in love, and without falling in love, he wouldn’t have changed into what he is now... He used to be such a straightforward kid, and look at him now, he really was at fault!

"I mean... Boss, it’s like this, could you do me a favor..."

Fatty Tang, hearing the anger in Xiao Yi’s voice, hurriedly stopped himself from continuing his previous ramblings and meekly said.(To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to recommend it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
