116: Chapter 112 Opportunity Knocks (Three More Updates) 116: Chapter 112 Opportunity Knocks (Three More Updates) The two women returned to the dining table and after eating a few bites, He Lian Bobo turned to Ye Fan with a beaming smile and whispered, “Brother Ye, let’s go to the martial arts hall after we finish eating.” “The Gulan Martial Arts Hall?” Ye Fan hesitated, “Isn’t your master still angry?” “Of course, I’m looking for an opportunity to explain to my master and clear up the misunderstanding,” Bobo said with a smile. “Think about it, if you don’t show some sincerity, how can my master easily forgive you? Although it’s not certain that she will forgive you this time, if you visit the Gulan Martial Arts Hall a few more times and show your sincerity, and I persuade her by your side, my master will definitely forgive you.” “Mm, okay,” Ye Fan nodded. The Gulan Martial Arts Hall was quite appealing to him; it could very well be a place for ancient martial arts practitioners. Visiting the Gulan Martial Arts Hall a few more times to clear up Lin Yuehua’s misunderstanding about him seemed worthwhile. Ye Fan and He Lian Bobo weren’t speaking loudly, but Qin Mengyao, sitting opposite them, still vaguely heard some of it. “Brother Ye, Sister He Lian, you’re talking about going to some martial arts hall, can I come too? Please?” Meng Yao called out. Bobo maintained her smile without saying a word. Ye Fan glanced at Bobo, thinking that the Gulan Martial Arts Hall catered to ancient martial arts practitioners and probably would not welcome a half-hearted taekwondo enthusiast like Meng Yao. Besides, he was still under a cloud of suspicion and wasn’t even sure if he could get into the Gulan Martial Arts Hall. So, he could only apologize, “Yaoyao, Bobo and I have things to do, we can’t take you with us for now.” “Oh,” Meng Yao said dejectedly, bowing her head. After the meal, they paid the bill, and Ye Fan, Meng Yao, and He Lian Bobo walked out of Juwei Xuan together towards the parking lot. On the road, Meng Yao and Bobo each hooked an arm around Ye Fan’s. All the way, they inevitably attracted many envious, jealous, and resentful gazes from the male onlookers. After going their separate ways in the parking lot, Ye Fan and Bobo drove together to the Gulan Martial Arts Hall. Just as they turned into the road of Wuyi Lane, where the Gulan Martial Arts Hall was located, Ye Fan and Bobo immediately found that the road ahead was blocked and the traffic crawled at a snail’s pace. Ye Fan stuck his head out of the car window to look ahead and saw that there was a crowd a few hundred meters away, apparently holding some event that took up much of the road. At that moment, Bobo called him, “Brother Ye, it’s too congested ahead. How about we go back to the intersection to find a place to park? It’s only three to four hundred meters away; walking there will only take a few minutes.” “Alright, turning around,” Ye Fan responded right away, turning the car around and parking it near the intersection. After they got out of the car, Bobo affectionately hooked his right arm, and they walked together toward the Gulan Martial Arts Hall. Bobo had a sweet smile on her pretty face. While she complained about the people ahead holding an event and blocking the road without civic-mindedness, she secretly felt grateful. The distance of three to four hundred meters was neither far nor close. A man and a woman walking arm in arm closely could do quite a bit. “Brother Ye, you’re so skilled at ancient martial arts practice and you’ve become a master of internal energy. How long have you been practicing?” Bobo asked with a smile and a hint of coquetry, like a girl-next-door innocently asking her admired boy-next-door neighbor how he became so powerful. Since they were both practitioners, Ye Fan didn’t hide anything and said thoughtfully, “Twelve years, I guess. I started studying under my master at the age of ten.” “Wow—no wonder you’re so powerful,” Bobo exclaimed, then said in frustration, “I’ve only been practicing for less than four years and haven’t even reached the state of ‘obvious power.’ Brother Ye, can you teach me? I don’t ask to be very powerful; I just want to reach ‘obvious power’ sooner.” Ye Fan said, “Don’t you have a master?” “I do have a master, but as Confucius said, ‘Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure.’ You’re so much better than me, and we’re good friends, so it’s okay for me to learn from you without betraying my master,” Bobo immediately argued. Ye Fan couldn’t help but turn to look at Bobo’s pretty face, seeing her look so matter-of-fact and suddenly remembering that although Bobo practiced ancient martial arts, her character and way of thinking were clearly modern. In modern society, everyone has many teachers, and it’s perfectly natural. “What’s wrong?” Bobo said, a bit flustered by Ye Fan’s stare. Ye Fan smiled lightly and shook his head, saying, “I dare not teach you, but we can learn from each other.” “Hehe, Brother Ye, you’re so modest.” He Lian Bobo covered her mouth and giggled. Ye Fan chuckled without going into detail, just smiling and saying, “It’s the truth.” “Thank you, Brother Ye.” He Lian Bobo called out happily, tightening her arms around Ye Fan’s arm a bit more. As the two chatted and walked, it wasn’t long before they came upon the source of the blocked traffic: a crowd, three layers deep, buzzing with people. “Ah, looks like Gulan Martial Arts Hall is having an event,” Ye Fan said, a bit surprised. He Lian Bobo looked on tiptoe, stretching her neck to see, her face incredulous as she said, “No way. Gulan Martial Arts Hall wouldn’t hold such a showy event.” Ye Fan nodded in agreement. Gulan Martial Arts Hall catered to ancient martial arts practitioners and should be very low-key, like a hermit amidst the hustle and bustle. “Let’s go and see for ourselves,” he said. He Lian Bobo nodded, and together with Ye Fan, they squeezed into the crowd. Before long, Ye Fan and He Lian Bobo made their way to the inner circle of the crowd and saw in front of the modest Gulan Martial Arts Hall, a giant rose heart made from countless red roses. Behind it, the phrase “I LOVE YOU” was formed with candles as thick as a child’s arm. Standing proudly behind the candles was a young man with slicked hair and a flowery appearance, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Seeing this scene, Ye Fan immediately understood that this slick-haired young man was making a public declaration of love to a beauty inside Gulan Martial Arts Hall. However, this slick-haired young man was different from the ordinary romantic suitors; he was obviously more ostentatious and showy. There were ten Ferraris and Maseratis, all lined up in a crescent behind him, with their headlights switched on, focusing the light on him. Moreover, a group of people surrounded the area, singing love songs, urging the leading lady to come out and accept the “prince’s” love declaration. “I hate this kind of forceful love declaration!” He Lian Bobo huffed with disgust. Ye Fan nodded slightly, understanding that this type of aggressive public love declaration, though seeming romantic, was actually harmful to the woman, putting her in the center of public scrutiny. He Lian Bobo said to Ye Fan, “Brother Ye, let’s go ask who he’s confessing to.” Saying so, she tugged at Ye Fan’s hand and walked towards the entrance of the martial arts hall. Entering the hall, they saw the beautiful receptionist Sister Xiao, who they had met before. Sister Xiao saw Ye Fan and immediately came forward to greet him politely, saying, “Mr. Ye, welcome.” “Heh, don’t mention it,” Ye Fan replied with a smile. He could tell that Sister Xiao was not an ordinary receptionist but a genuine expert at the stage of manifesting strength. “Sister Xiao, who’s that annoying guy outside confessing to?” He Lian Bobo asked. Sister Xiao glanced outside, a hint of distaste in her brows as she said, “Your master.” “What? My master!” He Lian Bobo exclaimed, asking excitedly, “What’s my master’s attitude? Does she detest it? Hmph, dare to harass my master, I’ll tear his tendons and skin him!” “She doesn’t like it,” Sister Xiao nodded and said, “With that guy making such a fuss outside, your master feels very cornered. She wants to go out and drive them away, but the head of the hall forbids any violence to avoid trouble, so we can only wait for them to lose interest and leave on their own.” He Lian Bobo’s eyes rolled, and she said to Ye Fan, “Brother Ye, your chance has come. If you handle this, my master will surely forgive you.” Then, she leaned in close, whispering into Ye Fan’s ear, “Brother Ye, when we go out later, you pretend to be my master’s boyfriend, and then beat up that guy until he’s looking for his teeth on the ground.”
