"Alright, I'm here."
Qingquan said to Ren Feng.
"You're here? I also..."
Ren Feng was about to speak when he suddenly looked up, startled.
"What a coincidence, I'm here to take care of so things at Jiuzhitang too." Ren Feng said with a smile, while internally wondering if there was so connection between Qingquan and Yu Guanyi.
Such a coincidence made him suspicious; after all, Qingquan ca because of her grandfather, and Ren Feng was here because Yu Guanyi wanted him to study dical texts. And most importantly, both were headed to Jiuzhitang!
Qingquan's small face showed so confusion, she nodded and walked inside with Ren Feng.
"Qingquan, why are you only just..."
A voice ca from inside Jiuzhitang, and Yu Guanyi erged from within, still smiling. But suddenly, his expression changed dramatically.
"Qingquan, why are you with him?"
Yu Guanyi was shocked, trembling as he pointed at Ren Feng, full of disbelief.
Good heavens, with all precautions taken, how did he still not escape this boy's clutches? He hadn't even allowed this boy to et his granddaughter, so how could they end up together?
In a flash, nurous thoughts raced through Yu Guanyi's mind.
Ren Feng blinked and smiled: "Mr. Yu, I didn't know Qingquan was your granddaughter!"
It turned out to be true, my goodness, I hadn't realized before!
Ren Feng had run into Qingquan many tis before, and they had t on the street often. She always said she was going to see her grandfather, but Ren Feng never connected it to Yu Guanyi. I an, how could such things be so coincidental?
Qingquan was taken aback, her confusion deepening.
"Grandpa, Ren Feng, did you know each other before?"
"Of course, we know each other. I am good friends with your grandpa, we're close." Ren Feng said, unfazed.
"Who's close with you? Listen here, kiddo, we can discuss dical skills, but if you dare make a move on my granddaughter, I'll fight you!"
Yu Guanyi's eyes widened, voice raised several decibels, drawing the attention of other dics in the shop.
"Mr. Yu, what's going on?"
A dic called out.
"Grandpa." Qingquan's cheeks were flush.
Ren Feng felt amused: "Mr. Yu, I didn't expect your granddaughter to be so beautiful, looks nothing like you."
Yu Guanyi fud to the point where his beard curled up, while another dic approached, smiling: "Mr. Yu, why ddle in young people's affairs?"
"Young people's affairs? That's my granddaughter's affair. If she dates soone else, I won't interfere, but not with this boy. He's notorious for romantic entanglents; I've seen him with several won before. If my granddaughter gets involved with such a man, how much suffering will she endure? Can you be responsible? Can you?"
Mr. Yu puffed and glared, completely dispensing with his amiable attitude.
Ren Feng was sowhat surprised; Yu Guanyi sure was firm when it ca to matters involving his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Qingquan ran over, covering Yu Guanyi's mouth, preventing him from spewing nonsense.
"Mmm-mmm, sweetheart, let go of grandpa, I'm saying this for your own good." Yu Guanyi pulled Qingquan's hand away.
"Mr. Yu, rest assured, there's nothing between and Qingquan." Ren Feng said calmly.
It seed Yu Guanyi was really vigilant against him; nothing from their usual interactions indicated such, and he hadn't done anything outrageous, so why such discontent?
Ren Feng felt helpless, truly, was it just because his fate was tied to romance?
Maybe it's just because he's too handso; handso n always give off a sense of insecurity. Ren Feng comforted himself.
Qingquan studied Ren Feng's face for a while, then asked: "Really?"
"Of course, really." Ren Feng nodded.
Qingquan suddenly burst out laughing: "Good, as long as there's nothing, that's good. Feng, my friend, sorry about earlier, I actually quite like you. You're so outstanding, surely lots of young girls fancy you. Go charm them but leave my granddaughter alone. Sweetheart, don't pull my hand, okay, okay, I won't say more, really won't. Go inside and make so tea."
The other dics laughed too, while Qingquan, cheeks flush, placed things inside and started brewing tea.
"Co, co, Feng, my friend, co on in." Yu Guanyi bead, as if the earlier scene hadn't occurred.
Ren Feng felt helpless inside; truthfully, he wondered if Yu Guanyi would kick him out had he known he aggressively questioned his granddaughter.
He followed them inside, where a worn ancient book lay on a table.
Moreover, around the table sat many dics.
"They are all seasoned dics from Jiangnan City. I've invited them here, and the materials are ready." Yu Guanyi said.
The old dics cupped their hands toward Ren Feng; Yu Guanyi had already inford them about Ren Feng's dical prowess. Although so harbored skepticism, they remained courteous.
Qingquan had brewed the tea, and brought a cup to each person's side.
"Any findings yet?"
Yu Guanyi asked.
"No, the contents of this dical text are sowhat obscure and cryptic, especially in its needle techniques which are unlike anything before." An old dic replied.
"Yes, even after translating, we still don't understand the content. It might be yet another ancient text." Another chid in.
Ren Feng moved over and pointed at the book: "May I have a look?"
"Please."
Ren Feng opened the ancient text; it emitted an aged scent, as if buried for years, but its contents were perfectly preserved.
The cover bore no na, only the character "Inferior," indicating the lower volu.
Upon opening the book, Ren Feng began reading. Initially, his expression remained normal, but suddenly, upon seeing a word that he knew, his face changed.
"This needle technique targets bodies with extre yang, able to stimulate inner..."
Ren Feng's eyes showed solemnity, extre yang body?
Why does this resemble the Nine Yang body?
At that mont, his heart jumped.
As he continued reading further, Ren Feng focused intensely, missing not a single word. But the more he read, the more his expression turned grave.
This was actually a needle technique concerning the Nine Yang body!
