Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Mu Wanqing’s Invitation_1

"What’s the matter?" Ning Fan asked.

Mu Wanqing spoke gravely, "Today, I’m here to invite you to take on a role as an instructor for the Phoenix Special Combat Team."

"To be an instructor?" Ning Fan frowned slightly, "Isn’t that the reward for the top ranker of the Qingyun List?"

"Yes, but Yuan Yonglin refused," Mu Wanqing shook her head, seemingly baffled. "I don’t know what she’s thinking. So many people want to become an instructor for the special combat team..."

Before she could finish, Ning Fan interrupted with a shake of his head: "Sorry, I’m not interested in becoming an instructor for the Phoenix Special Combat Team either. Please find someone else."

"What?" Mu Wanqing’s brows knitted together in a frown: "You’re not willing either? Do you know what it means to become an instructor for the Phoenix Special Combat Team? It means your status and identity will at least be ten times higher than what it is now!"

She paused for a beat, then her gaze hardened, and she said coldly, "You wouldn’t be thinking of staying with that woman, would you?"

The ’that woman’ Mu Wanqing mentioned was Pan Ting, whom she had found out had cuckolded Ning Fan.

"That woman?" Ning Fan was startled, thinking she meant Xu Yourong, and nodded, "Of course, I will stay with her always."

"Are you an idiot?" Mu Wanqing said with heartfelt pain and anger, "For such a woman, you would give up such an opportunity? Do you know how many people want this chance? Don’t you know how to cherish it?"

Ning Fan was somewhat puzzled inside and didn’t understand why Mu Wanqing would harbor such malice towards Xu Yourong.

"How about this—if you agree to annul our marriage engagement, then I’ll agree to be the instructor for the Phoenix Special Combat Team," Ning Fan considered and then suggested.

He had thought that Mu Wanqing would agree to those terms, but instead, her expression darkened.

So this guy actually wanted to annul their engagement?

Herself, the captain of the Phoenix Special Combat Team, the belle of Jiangnan War Department, the woman who countless people pursued, the goddess in the hearts of so many!

Her suitors could form an enhanced platoon!

And yet Ning Fan didn’t fancy her?!

That was too much!

"Fine, since you’re unwilling to come, then forget it, and the marriage won’t be annulled either!"

Having said her piece, Mu Wanqing turned and left in a huff, her heart not tasting right.

"Hey, Miss Mu, what conditions do you actually need to agree to annul our marriage?" Ning Fan asked loudly, watching Mu Wanqing’s retreating figure.

"No conditions will do!" Mu Wanqing responded without turning back, indignantly.

If Ning Fan weren’t trying to annul their marriage, she might have agreed to annul it.

But the more Ning Fan wanted to annul the marriage, the less willing she was to go through with it.

Such were the strange thoughts of a woman.

"Sigh, this annulment... doesn’t seem as easy as I thought..." Ning Fan furrowed his brows and sighed deeply.

This was just one, and it hadn’t gone well.

To annul eight marriages, the task was daunting!

After musing for a moment, Ning Fan turned and left, heading back to the villa to continue his cultivation.

Through various events, he had come to deeply understand that so-called backgrounds and family were ethereal constructs.

Only one’s own strength was the true foundation!

...

Time passed quickly during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.

In the afternoon, Xu Yourong and Su Qingcheng arrived at the villa, where Shuang’er let them in.

"Shuang’er, where’s your master?" Xu Yourong asked.

Shuang’er glanced at Su Qingcheng in disgust and pointed upstairs: "He’s cultivating."

"Hmph, all day long he just knows to cultivate, cultivate. He doesn’t hurry up to annul the marriages!" Su Qingcheng huffed.

As Xu Yourong’s best friend, she naturally knew from Xu Yourong’s lips the conditions set by Xu Yourong’s parents.

Without turning her head, Shuang’er replied: "My master has his plans. He doesn’t need your concern."

"Then tell me, what are his plans!" Su Qingcheng spat, brimming with irritation. "All along, hasn’t it been Yourong who’s been making the plans?"

"Whatever plans there are, it’s none of your business," Shuang’er retorted, standing her ground. "My master’s girlfriend is Miss Xu, not you. Why are you nagging?"

Shuang’er was now completely devoted to Ning Fan and could not stand any criticism against him.

Moreover, since Su Qingcheng herself hadn’t been kind to Shuang’er before, Shuang’er now responded in kind.

"What are you implying, you little wench?" Su Qingcheng said through gritted teeth. "You mean I don’t even have the right to speak out?"

"Hmph, the emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is," Shuang’er replied coldly.

"You!"

Their eyes locked, sparks flying, neither having anything good to say about the other.

Xu Yourong, somewhat helplessly, chuckled: "Qing Cheng, Shuang’er is still a child, don’t take it to heart."

"A child? What, am I not your best friend anymore?" Su Qingcheng widened her eyes, "Whose side are you on?"

Shuang’er huffed, "At least my master’s official girlfriend knows reason, unlike some who just act spoiled."

"Hey now, today I’m going to make you understand what ’trouble comes from the mouth’ means!" Su Qingcheng was furious.

Ning Fan was roused from his cultivation upstairs by the noise, and when he got to the first floor, to his dismay, he found Su Qingcheng and Shuang’er arguing. He exasperatingly held his forehead.

"Shuang’er, stop arguing," he said dispassionately.

Shuang’er, still wanting to retort, held back upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, though clearly not happy about it.

"If you dare... Hey, why are you pulling me?" Su Qingcheng was ready to continue, but Xu Yourong dragged her back.

"Qing Cheng, that’s enough," Xu Yourong spoke softly. "Shuang’er is still a little girl, no need to get angry with her."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingcheng huffed twice and sat down on the sofa, arms crossed.

Ning Fan and Xu Yourong exchanged a glance, a bitter smile on their faces.

"Miss Su, here is the marriage contract between us. I’d like to return it to you. Even if you lost the bet with Miss Xu, I can still annul our marriage now," Ning Fan said as he took out the marriage contract, planning to give it back to Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng glanced at him and said with a sneer, "You can annul the marriage if you want, but do you still remember the condition you promised me before coming to the provincial city?"

Ning Fan was startled for a moment and then answered, "Of course, I remember."
