Chapter 305: Chapter 157: Offended?
’At most, they’ll just keep an eye on me and try some assassinations or things like that.’
’But leaving aside the fact that the Post House is guarded by Black Armored Soldiers and the Shen Family probably won’t dare to act recklessly here...’
’...even in Lanyang City itself, would they really dare to cause trouble?’
’Lanyang City is so tightly guarded, with the Black Armor Army patrolling every street at all hours. Would the Shen Family dare to launch an assassination attempt on me under these circumstances?’
’Even taking a huge step back, let’s say the Shen Family *does* dare... after all, they have True Essence Realm Death Warriors.’
’For the sake of the opportunity represented by the Twelve Seats, perhaps they would dare to assassinate him in the city.’
’But inside the Post House, it’s definitely safe.’
’...At worst, I’ll just have to be a little more careful.’
’As long as I can survive the initial attack, Black Armor Army support will arrive immediately.’
’...I refuse to believe the Shen Family’s power is so great that they can control the Post House and prevent them from intervening.’
’If that were really the case, why would Shen Han even bother competing for one of the Twelve Seats? Couldn’t he just pull some strings behind the scenes?’
’So, in terms of safety, as long as I’m in the Post House, there’s a high probability I’ll be fine.’
’Since that’s the case...’
’What do I have to be afraid of?’
’Back in True Martial, when facing the mysterious Blood Luo Sect, I was hesitant because of my Senior Brother and Master.’
’Now, my Senior Brother and Master have disappeared without a trace.’
’Even I can’t find them... let alone anyone else.’
Since that was the case, what did Qin Fang have to fear?
’Circumstances have forced me into this corner, step by step. There’s no way back.’
’My original intention was to keep a low profile.’
’But the current situation makes it impossible.’
’Since keeping a low profile won’t work... I might as well go all out and be high-profile.’
’Let everyone see me.’
’Only then will I actually be safer!’
...Qin Fang saw this very clearly.
’So...’
’The Shen Family?’
’My target isn’t just the Shen Family...’
’What I’m about to do is even crazier than what that Hundred Households Wang imagined!’
He squinted at the messy courtyard and got to work.
He worked until evening when darkness fell. There was a knock on the door. Qin Fang opened it to find several servants from the Post House.
"Young Master Qin, your dinner has arrived."
Qin Fang looked, and his eyes lit up slightly...
’No kidding, the treatment in A Courtyard is indeed far superior to C Courtyard!’
’Just the food box alone is much larger and more exquisite than the one in C Courtyard.’
’I haven’t even opened it yet, but just from the smell, it’s far more fragrant than the food from C Courtyard!’
"Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Fang said with a smile.
The Post House servants quickly said it was no trouble at all and entered the room to set things down.
Not only was there food, but there were also two large pots of hot water. Someone even asked Qin Fang if he wished to bathe today; if so, they would immediately arrange for hot water to be sent over...
Speaking of bathing, Qin Fang remembered that it had indeed been several days since he had last bathed.
However, he was a Huajin Martial Artist. His Qi Blood was stable, and his body was sealed, so he didn’t even sweat. He could go ten days or half a month without bathing and not have any odor.
But being able to wash was naturally for the best. Qin Fang smiled and asked them to trouble themselves with bringing water for a bath. Only after the servants left did he open the food box.
For the first time, Qin Fang saw refined rice!
A large basin of fragrant, plump grains of rice. This was the first time Qin Fang had seen this kind of rice since he’d transmigrated.
One bite was full of a sweet fragrance that almost brought tears to Qin Fang’s eyes...
’...Who could possibly understand?’
’I ate rice like this every day before transmigrating, and now, even after becoming a Huajin Martial Artist, this is the first time I’m eating it again!’
Besides the rice, there were also many exquisite dishes—a proper balance of meat and vegetables, each one with an exceptional flavor...
’...Damn, if I’d known the food in A Courtyard was this good, I would’ve issued a challenge on the first day!’
He grumbled to himself as he began to feast.
In a short while, he had finished the entire table of food... Even with his appetite, he felt full.
’...The meals for A Courtyard must be specially prepared.’
As he poured a cup of hot water and drank it slowly, the servants returned, bringing water for his bath, transported on a flatbed cart.
After thanking them, Qin Fang took a hot bath.
He soaked contentedly for a while. When he got out, he felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable.
Then Qin Fang rummaged through his bundle... and found that the clothes inside were all rather tattered.
Qin Fang thought for a moment and decided he should buy some better clothes later.
’...When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’
’Everyone else is dressed in silks and satins, while I’m the only one in coarse cloth. It really makes me stick out.’
...Most of the time, Qin Fang was actually a person who liked to fit in.
After changing into a clean set of coarse cloth clothes, Qin Fang stretched lazily and narrowed his eyes.
’...It’s about time.’
He got up, left his room, and headed straight for the Zhi Lu at the Post House’s main gate.
Li Yao was just starting his shift and was momentarily stunned to see Qin Fang walking towards him.
"Chief Li."
Qin Fang greeted him with a smile.
Li Yao came back to his senses and nodded subconsciously.
Then he heard Qin Fang say with a laugh, "I want to fill out a challenge letter."
That single sentence left everyone, including Li Yao and all the Black Armored Soldiers, stunned.
Li Yao’s eyes went wide.
"You... you’re filling out another challenge letter?"
Qin Fang narrowed his eyes and smiled. "That’s right. According to the rules, that should be allowed, right?"
Li Yao was speechless. He swallowed hard, his eyelid twitching slightly.
"Of course... it’s allowed. Who... are you challenging?"
All the Black Armored Soldiers instinctively stared at Qin Fang...
...You have to understand, Qin Fang’s challenge against Shen Han today attracted the attention of almost the entire Post House.
His venomous tongue and the final act of slapping Shen Han across the face had truly made many people take notice.
After all... that Shen Han wasn’t just anybody. He was a direct descendant of a Divine Family!
Qin Fang’s actions had made a mortal enemy of him!
’...I heard he even tried to provoke the guy into a fight on the Life and Death Platform today...’
’What a madman!’
Now, the matter with Shen Han hadn’t even concluded, and Shen Han’s retaliation was probably already on its way... Who was he going to move against now?
They watched Qin Fang with curiosity.
But Qin Fang just grinned. "I want to challenge... Shen Han."
Just that one sentence made everyone’s eyes go wide. Then, the sound of sharp, collective gasps echoed throughout the Zhi Lu!
’...Has he gone mad?’
That was the only thought in everyone’s mind.
