"Are you sick in the head or something? Why did you follow me here? Who let you in? Get out!" Bai Xiaofan, seeing it was Murong Yue, felt extremely irritated and impatiently stood up, pushing her towards the door!
"Ouch, wait a minute, wait a minute, your house is so big, just let me stay for a bit, I'm all alone and homeless, show a bit of kindness!" Murong Yue knew Bai Xiaofan was hard-hearted, so instead of talking to him, she looked pitifully at Chen Xiner on the side.
"Xiaofan, brother, why not let this sister stay? I think she looks quite pitiable!" Chen Xiner, seeing how pitiful Murong Yue appeared, sought Bai Xiaofan's agreement with her gaze!
"Alright, since Xin'er agrees, then stay, but not for long, at most a day. Tomorrow morning, go do whatever you need to!" Bai Xiaofan, seeing Chen Xiner had spoken, what more could he say? He had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"Xin'er, what do you want to eat? I'll cook for you, we've got to keep on living well after all!" Bai Xiaofan said as he stood up.
"I want braised pork, and also sour cabbage fish!" Before Chen Xiner could even speak, Murong Yue was the first to shout out her demands!
"Who asked you? I don't even know your name, just eat whatever I make!"
"I'm called Murong Yue!"
...
Bai Xiaofan was speechless, but seeing that Murong Yue could engage Chen Xiner and seemingly alleviate some of her sadness, he decided not to quibble with her and went back to his room, took off his patient attire, and changed into his own clothes!
Bai Xiaofan's adoptive parents had also been in business before, somewhat well-off, so the house they left was quite sizable, a four-bedroom with a living room. Arriving in the kitchen, Bai Xiaofan glanced at the contents of the fridge before he started to get busy!
Because his parents were often busy with their business when he was young, it was usually just him and Chen Xiner, so Bai Xiaofan could cook!
Half an hour later, when Bai Xiaofan brought the dishes to the table, Murong Yue saw what was on the table and complained discontentedly, "Didn't you agree to make braised pork and sour cabbage fish?"
"No money, if you want it, pay for it yourself!" Bai Xiaofan gave her a disdainful look.
Hmph, I, the young miss, have plenty of money!
"Xin'er, you two stay at home, I'm going out for a bit and will be back in the evening!" After dinner, Bai Xiaofan called out to Chen Xiner, and then he opened the door and left!
Arriving at the ATM, Bai Xiaofan felt worried as he looked at the little over three hundred yuan in his account. Zhang Qiang had taken all his adoptive parents' money, and the three of them had planned on asking for it back this morning, but then this happened!
School starts tomorrow, and he still had to pay Xin'er's tuition, what should he do?
Chen Xiner had also been admitted to Nanjiang University, just a year junior to him. Tomorrow was the first day of her freshman year!
Wandering aimlessly on the streets, Bai Xiaofan found himself at a park, sitting down on a bench!
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Power caught Bai Xiaofan's attention!
He urgently turned his head to look and saw a stone not far away, and walked over out of curiosity!
Unexpectedly, the Spiritual Power here was denser than other places, which should be good for practice!
Thinking this, Bai Xiaofan sat cross-legged on the stone and calmed his mind to practice; once he had the strength, he would surely find a way to make money!
"Grandpa, someone's sitting on that stone, shall I go chase them away?" Not far away, a pair of figures approached, a man and a woman, one old, one young. The young girl, dressed in a tight sports outfit with neatly trimmed short hair, exuded boldness, while the elder wore a loose coat, from the sound of it they seemed to be grandfather and granddaughter!
"Stop messing around and go practice your boxing under that tree over there!" The elder looked at his granddaughter with affection and then pointed to a large tree near where Bai Xiaofan was sitting.
"Fine, that's a bumpkin, probably sitting there sleeping!" Su Shiqi pouted discontentedly and walked to the big tree not far from Bai Xiaofan, glaring fiercely at this bumpkin who'd taken her spot before focusing on her boxing!
The elder watched his pampered granddaughter with a wry smile, shaking his head at how spoiled she had become because of him, then sat down on the bench, his spirited old eyes full of indulgence as he watched her.
The elder only glanced tepidly at Bai Xiaofan, who had taken his granddaughter's place for cultivation, without seeing anything particularly noteworthy, and then paid him no more attention.
After completing a round of cultivation, Bai Xiaofan eventually woke from his meditation, and the moment he opened his eyes, a faint purple light flashed and disappeared!
This Immortal Technique really is something special. If I had this strength during the incident this morning, I probably wouldn't have been in danger. Fate is truly unpredictable!
The Immortal Technique is a method of cultivation that, besides Immortal Technique itself, contains many other techniques. For instance, the technique from the Nine Palaces that he used to defeat Knife Bro and others earlier!
At this moment, Bai Xiaofan knew that his path ahead was destined to be different, and the hope for avenging his foster parents also grew!
Huh?
Suddenly, Bai Xiaofan's attention was drawn to Su Shiqi, who was practicing her boxing nearby!
But what attracted him wasn't Su Shiqi's graceful figure or her angelic face; it was the style of boxing she was practicing!
After watching for a few moments, Bai Xiaofan shook his head slightly. At first, he thought it might be a decent boxing technique, but upon closer inspection, it was just for show, and this girl wasn't suited for this kind of chopping punch and kick fighting style!
Just as he was planning to get up and leave, a sharp cry came from beside him.
"Hey, country bumpkin, what do you mean by shaking your head?" Su Shiqi had noticed Bai Xiaofan as soon as he awoke, originally thinking he would be shocked by her boxing, only to see the country bumpkin dare to shake his head. That was just preposterous!
Country bumpkin?
Bai Xiaofan didn't catch on at first, but when he saw Su Shiqi standing in front of him with hands on her hips, realization dawned!
Damn, calling me a country bumpkin? Are you blind?
Although my clothes aren't very expensive, this outfit still cost over a hundred yuan, okay?
"Such a beautiful woman, but blind, what a pity!" Bai Xiaofan wasn't one to take things lying down; having just been dumped by a woman and suddenly being called a country bumpkin by another, he was naturally not pleased!
"You stop right there, who are you calling blind?" Su Shiqi became angry, the poorly dressed guy in front of her daring to call her blind, was simply too much!
"Shi Qi, mind your manners!" The elder in the robe got up when he saw his granddaughter arguing with someone again, first scolding his granddaughter and then smiling at Bai Xiaofan.
"Young man, no offense, but my granddaughter has been without her parents since she was little, and I've spoiled her rotten!"
"Sir, you're too kind! I'm a very magnanimous person!" Bai Xiaofan said with a straight face, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who had just retorted Su Shiqi!
"Heh, but young man, did you shake your head just now because you think my granddaughter's boxing isn't good?" The elder wasn't an ordinary person, his penetrating gaze fixed on Bai Xiaofan!
