Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Good Man? I’m Not!

When a violent woman becomes tender in front of a man, it often means she has likely fallen for him.

Watching the handsome and unique Fang Bai, decked out in branded clothes, Sun Hao couldn’t help but feel inferior. Soon after, he developed a strong sense of hostility towards Fang Bai.

"I’ve liked Qiu Mingyue for a long time."

Sun Hao began threatening Fang Bai, putting on a fierce look and said viciously, "You better stay away from her, stop hanging out with her. Otherwise... I’ve got a lot of buddies, just a few of them could beat you flat!"

The few people present were Sun Hao’s classmates and friends; obviously, they wouldn’t take Fang Bai’s side. Sun Hao wasn’t worried at all that these words would reach Mingyue’s ears.

"Mingyue won’t like you."

Fang Bai found arguing with a high school student over jealousy quite amusing and said confidently, "First, you’re a bit hard on the eyes and still have a face full of acne; second, from your clothes, it’s clear your family isn’t well-off; third, you’re a weak man. If I were you, I’d have settled this with my fists already if another man was after my woman."

Sun Hao’s fists immediately clenched as if he wanted to explode, but thinking of Mingyue outside choosing dishes with Duoduo, he didn’t dare to do anything.

Fang Bai taunted Sun Hao a few times. Seeing him so angry his neck reddened and he huffed and puffed, Fang Bai couldn’t help but grin and leisurely focused on finishing the bowl of ramen in front of him, ignoring Sun Hao completely.

Mingyue and Duoduo soon returned to the table having ordered ten dishes and a case of beer.

The majority of the dishes were ordered by Mingyue, who thought someone like Fang Bai who adored eating was a once-in-a-millennium find. As long as he didn’t keep eating, the dishes would be enough to fill the stomachs of Duoduo and the rest.

With Mingyue there, Sun Hao didn’t dare to lose his temper at Fang Bai. Instead, he put on a smiley face, constantly trying to ingratiate himself with Mingyue, even if she said something unpleasant or rolled her eyes in disgust at him, he took it all as sweet as honey.

"Duoduo, Dapeng has been courting you recently, right?"

In the midst of laughter, Mingyue had drunk two bottles of beer, her little face slightly red, and her speech not as clear as before.

Both Duoduo and Dapeng blushed, exchanged glances, then swiftly looked away.

Mingyue let out a snort of laughter, heartily patted Dapeng on the shoulder and said, "You might look a bit effeminate, but you’re honest and kind-hearted. With you, Duoduo will definitely not be bullied. Since you like Duoduo, go for it boldly, I support you!"

Though the term "effeminate" somewhat vexed Dapeng, the last words from Mingyue made him smile brightly.

"Duoduo, you can’t let Dapeng win you over too easily."

Mingyue patted Duoduo’s shoulder again, seriously saying, "Men are all the same, the easier a woman is to pursue, the less they cherish her. Remember, even if you two become a couple in the future, don’t just give your body to him lightly... Humph, once a man’s had a woman’s body, and the novelty has worn off, it’s easy for him to crave something new. So as a woman, you must guard your last line of defense well!"

Duoduo nodded in agreement, and there was a new wariness in her gaze towards Dapeng.

Dapeng felt a mix of laughter and tears, thinking that with Mingyue’s advice, it was going to be difficult to get intimate with Duoduo in the future.

As the evening wore on with laughter, the sky outside darkened. Mingyue’s father called Fang Bai’s cell phone to inquire about the situation and urged them to hurry back.

Mingyue also didn’t dare to return too late; if her father really got angry, she’d be a bit scared, so she settled the bill with Fang Bai and parted ways with Dapeng, Duoduo, and the others at the ramen shop entrance.

When they arrived back at the courtyard house, Qiu Zhan, who came out to open the door for them, smelled the alcohol on Mingyue, frowned, and said sternly, "Have you been drinking?"

Seeing her father’s grim expression, Mingyue stuck out her tongue and said, "It was a classmate’s birthday; I had some beer."

Qiu Zhan let out a snort and, due to Fang Bai being nearby, just said, "Don’t let it happen again," before letting her wash up and rest.

Fang Bai, carrying bags big and small, entered the middle room on the west side, took out the items he bought and arranged them neatly, spread out the quilt, then closed the doors and windows, took a shower, and honestly lay down to rest.

Fang Bai didn’t circulate his cultivation technique, nor did he take out the medicinal pills and Essence Stones he had obtained at Fuhu Mountain for cultivation, for fear of being discovered by Qiu Zhan.

Fang Bai would take out the medicinal pills and Essence Stones for cultivation in the nearby mountains while doing his morning exercises the next day.

Having the expert Qiu Zhan around indeed caused some trouble to Fang Bai’s cultivation, but these troubles were only temporary.

As long as Fang Bai diligently practiced cultivation, once his strength surpassed or even matched Qiu Zhan’s, he would no longer need to worry.

Because by then, Fang Bai would be able to conceal his own aura well and prevent Qiu Zhan from detecting it.

That night, Fang Bai didn’t practice cultivation; instead, he slept soundly with peace of mind.

The next day at around four in the morning, Fang Bai got up to wash, then put on a black thin shirt and pants specially for cultivation, took two jade bottles containing "Gathering Yuan Pills" and ten Red Essence Stones, and placed them together in a wooden box, preparing to leave.

"Fang Bai, this early?"

From the room on the east side of the north side, a "squeak" sound was heard as the door opened, revealing Qiu Zhan’s face with a bushy sideburn beard.

"Uncle is early too!"

Knowing he couldn’t hide his movements from Qiu Zhan, Fang Bai smiled and said, "I’m used to morning exercise at home every day. Sorry for disturbing your rest, uncle."

Qiu Zhan waved his hand, walked to the courtyard, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said, "I used to like morning exercises too, but now I have to take care of my wife and daughter and rarely have time to go out."

Fang Bai praised, "Uncle is a good man."

"A good man? Not me!"

Qiu Zhan shook his head, gave a self-deprecating smile, and said, "My wife has been sick for over a decade, and I haven’t been able to cure her; I can’t be by my daughter’s side all the time to teach her, I haven’t bought her many pretty clothes or the toys she loves... I owe my wife and daughter, I’m not a good man."

Fang Bai said, "Hardships are only temporary, maybe one day, everything will get better."

"I’ll take your auspicious words."

Qiu Zhan laughed, clearly in a slightly better mood.

"Strange, this young man named Fang Bai is clearly not a martial artist, yet he has an indescribable, transcendent quality..."

Watching Fang Bai leave through the main gate of the courtyard, Qiu Zhan was thoughtful and then chuckled mockingly at himself, "In this world, some people are just naturally extraordinary. Maybe I’m overthinking it."

In the early hours of a midsummer day at four in the morning, the sky was already slightly lit. As Fang Bai stepped out of the courtyard, there were already people moving about on the village roads, all up for their morning exercises.

It’s just that their exercise was limited to the vicinity of the village, at the furthest to a nearby square, no one, like Fang Bai, bolted towards the mountains to the north after leaving the village.
