Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The little girl’s acting is not bad!

"Enough, you two stop bickering! I still have something to say!"

Long Jingtian watched his granddaughter and one zero eight make a fuss for a while with a smile on his face, then his expression turned serious and he spoke up to stop them.

His words were quite effective, Dragon Maiden backed away huffily upon hearing him, but her beautiful eyes were still fixed on one zero eight, occasionally waving her tiny fists, clearly having an "I’ll show you" attitude.

However, one zero eight looked aggrieved and muttered non-stop, "We agreed you wouldn’t get mad... We agreed if I guessed Instructor Fang’s age correctly, you’d give me a prize... Now it seems, surely, there’s none! Sister Dragon Maiden, you broke your promise, and the beautiful image I had of you in my heart has completely crumbled!"

Dragon Maiden replied irritably, "You think you guessed right? Hmph, let me tell you, you’re miles off!"

"I don’t believe it!"

One zero eight wrinkled her nose and looked up to ask Long Jingtian, "Chief, you’re always fair, tell me, did I guess right?"

One zero eight was also adopted by Long Jingtian from an orphanage and, although she wasn’t as fortunate as Dragon Maiden to be taken in as his granddaughter and nurtured, Long Jingtian treated her just as well as he treated Dragon Maiden.

"You indeed guessed wrong!"

Long Jingtian patted one zero eight’s head with a chuckle.

"What?!"

One zero eight’s tender little mouth opened wide in shock. She could doubt anyone else, but she couldn’t not believe the chief. Her little face fell, and she murmured, "Could it be that Instructor Fang’s actual age is much older than I guessed? He couldn’t possibly be in his seventies or eighties, could he?"

Dragon Maiden retorted with disdain, "What seventies or eighties! Fang Bai... Instructor Fang is only twenty years old this year! If you make him sound that old, watch out, he might beat you up!"

"Twenty years old? Psh, Sister Dragon Maiden, you’re lying! Chief, can you tell me Instructor Fang’s real age?"

One zero eight, not believing Dragon Maiden’s words, looked up at Long Jingtian again.

Long Jingtian laughed and said, "Instructor Fang is indeed only twenty years old! Hehe, didn’t expect that, did you?"

In the hearts of the "Dragon Guard" members, Long Jingtian’s words were as good as gold, and he would never lie. If he said Fang Bai was twenty years old, then Fang Bai was definitely twenty years old.

For a moment, the scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Fang Bai with eyes full of deep shock and disbelief.

"How is this possible!"

When one zero eight’s lively eyes looked at Fang Bai again, they became somewhat vacant, her little face colored with disbelief.

But the little girl was quick to react, realizing that some of her words might have "offended" Fang Bai. Her black eyes darted around before she approached Fang Bai, saying pitifully, "Instructor Fang, I’m sorry, I overestimated your age by so much earlier. You’re a great person who won’t hold a grudge against a little girl like me, right?"

Seeing her come over to apologize and calling herself a "little girl", Fang Bai couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

"Twenty turning into seventies or eighties... Can I not be mad? You just wait to accept my punishment!"

No. 108 thought the young and excessive Instructor would really punish her, and with a pout, she said sorrowfully, "Then, Instructor Fang, uh... how do you plan to punish me?"

Fang Bai deliberately put on a stern face and spoke with solemnity, "As an instructor, I’ve decided to strictly supervise your cultivation from now on! If you slack off or try to cut corners, I won’t be polite!"

No. 108’s little mouth turned down, and she said with grievance, "Instructor Fang, I’ve already been working very hard at cultivation! Even if I slack off or cut corners, it’s only occasional... Instructor Fang, you’re a good person, can’t you be a bit less strict with me? Cultivation is so bitter and tiring!"

Seeing her, as she spoke, start to show tears in her eyes, Fang Bai couldn’t help but laugh if he hadn’t understood her personality a bit by now, he would indeed have been deceived by her pitiful appearance. He couldn’t help laughing, "Little girl, not bad acting! Where did you learn that from?"

No. 108 was clever as snow and, seeing Fang Bai laugh, knew that he was only joking about punishing her and immediately reverted back to her clever spirited self, smilingly saying, "The moment I first saw Instructor Fang, I knew you were a very kind-hearted person, and you couldn’t bear to punish me!"

Fang Bai said, "That’s not necessarily true. From today on, I am the instructor for all of you. No matter who it is, anyone who doesn’t earnestly cultivate will be punished by me!"

No. 108 stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I’ll just cultivate earnestly from now on!"

In No. 108’s eyes, martial artists like Fang Bai who were young yet so powerful were mostly proud and conceited. If he caught her doing something wrong, she definitely wouldn’t be let off easily.

So, although No. 108 had not yet experienced his methods, she was already somewhat intimidated by Instructor Fang.

As the new Instructor took up his post, speaking big about "punishment," the surrounding Dragon Guard members listened with varied thoughts—some with solemn faces, some showing scorn, and most of them feeling defiant.

In their view, what was it for a mere twenty-year-old martial artist to be slightly stronger than themselves? How could he be better than their leader? Could he teach better than the leader had taught?

They just couldn’t understand what the leader was thinking, actually hiring such a green youth to be their "Instructor."

And those Dragon Guard members who saw Fang Bai as a romantic rival had already figured out ways to defy him. They planned to treat his words as if they were the wind by their ears, or to feign compliance with Fang Bai’s guidance but secretly defy it.

They hoped that under their resistance, this Instructor would recognize the difficulty and eventually leave the Dragon Guard in dejection.

Long Jingtian saw through all the expressions of the Dragon Guard members around him. He said nothing, thinking that these Dragon Guards had seldom experienced setbacks and some had developed a sense of arrogance and pride. It would be good for them to suffer a bit under Fang Bai’s hands, so they could learn that there were higher heavens and people beyond their current realm.

"All of you listen up!"

Long Jingtian cleared his throat, swept his gaze around, and spoke loudly, "Don’t think that because Instructor Fang is young, you can disrespect him! I’m putting my words out here: whoever among you doesn’t respect Instructor Fang can privately ask him to spar, but if you suffer a setback, don’t come crying to me!"

With these words, the surrounding Dragon Guard members immediately became restless again, many with excited faces, itching to have a go.

They all harbored nearly the same thought—if they could confirm Fang Bai’s strength through sparring and be truly convinced, then they would give him the respect he deserved.

But if Fang Bai’s ability failed to win them over, then he didn’t deserve to be an instructor, and they wouldn’t be blamed for their lack of respect.

That’s the way of martial artists—to earn another’s respect, you speak with your fists!

Seeing the excited expressions of the Dragon Guard members around him, Long Jingtian couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself, thinking, "You guys just be happy for now; wait until you spar with Fang Bai and you’ll have your share of suffering."

Long Jingtian knew that while Fang Bai might seem gentle and harmless on the surface, once he set his mind to it, he could be truly
