Walking out of Jiang Kongming's house, Xu Haifeng returned to his own little world with a pleasant mood.

  This room was the same small cottage where he had stayed last time, but then there were still Lin Wanxian and three servants by his side, whereas now he was alone with a hard-to-sleep pillow.

  "Knock...knock...knock..." A knock at the door sounded.

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said: "Big brother, why be polite, just come in directly."

  Fang Xiang burst into laughter and pushed open the door, walking to Xu Haifeng's front, carefully sizing him up, as if looking at some kind of rare treasure.

  Xu Haifeng looked at him calmly, without a hint of embarrassment.

  "Alas..." Fang Xing finally withdrew his gaze and said: "Big brother, I'm truly impressed this time, a genuine admiration from the bottom of my heart."

  "What do you mean by that?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked in surprise.

  Fang Lang let out a long sigh and said, "Think back to when you and I parted ways in Lin'an City, you were still a rookie who didn't know the slightest bit of martial arts. A few months ago, you arrived at the Northern Great Camp, already a top-notch expert among the second-rate masters. And now, barely three months later, one foot has already stepped into the realm of the Grandmaster. Can I not admire that?"

  "Huh." Xu Haifeng's smile faltered, and he naturally knew that even if Fang Lingchen wanted to deceive the whole world, he wouldn't hide it from the next master of the Fang family. He said, "Big brother, my martial arts skills are quite strange and came about unexpectedly. If I had to tell the truth, I'd say it was just luck."

  "Lucky? If I could have your kind of luck, I'd be willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years." Fang Xiang sighed.

  Xu Haifeng smiled but didn't speak, he naturally knew that anyone would inevitably feel envious of such a good thing. However, the sworn brother in front of him was clearly more delighted than jealous.

  "Alright, we've finished discussing official business. Now it's time to talk about personal matters." Fang Xiangming put away his smiling face and spoke seriously.

  Xu Haifeng asked strangely: "Private matter?"

  Fang Ming hummed and said: "Do you still remember that I told you there is someone in the Northern Great Camp who has been waiting for you with a burning heart?"

  Xu Haifeng suddenly knew he was talking about Fang Yingying: "I'm afraid Yingmei is not waiting for me."

  Xu Haifeng is telling the truth, Fang Ying and others' piercing gaze was not at him, but at Liu Ting.

  However, Ling Miao was absolutely not thinking that way, he hastily said: "Not waiting for you, who else would I wait for?"

  She paused for a moment, then continued: "After you left, your sister first went to Xujia Village and brought your parents and siblings to settle in Lin'an City. Then she returned to the northern camp. Your father was furious about this and sent three letters urging her to return, but she ignored them all. Do you think she would have done so if she wasn't waiting for you?"

  Xu Haifeng sighed, how was he going to explain this? The matter of Liu Ting, apart from the crowd of women and Jiang Kongming, was absolutely not to be leaked out again. Moreover, rescuing Liu Ting also involved the heterochromia team, making it even more impossible to spread the word.

  Just as he was having a headache, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Big brother, since you said that, why didn't I see Ying Mei today?"

  Fang Ming glared at him and said, "Do you think Ying Mei is a woman who doesn't know what's important? She knew you just got back and wanted to take care of official business, so she deliberately avoided you. Now that your official business is done, I reckon she'll be here soon."

  Xu Haifeng nodded slightly and, to be honest, he also had a soft spot for this unconventional beauty with a heroic spirit.

  "How come? Has it been three months since we last met and you're thinking of me so much?" asked Fang Ming with a smile.

  Xu Haifeng heard the tone of mockery in his voice, and was about to retort when he suddenly had an epiphany. It seemed as if someone had quietly slipped into the doorway, and he immediately had an idea.

  He suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Yes, I have been thinking about it a lot. How is Sister Ying now?"

  Fang Xiang let out a satisfied smile and said, "Little sister has just become much thinner than before. Since you have her in your heart, it's not in vain that she worries about you. Actually, little sister has a crush on you. As her older brother, I'm both happy and worried."

  "Why?" asked Xu Haifeng.

  "You are my sworn brother, I know you very well, and I know that you will not let our Fang family lose face to her. However, there are too many women around you, whether it's Tang Rou'er or Lin Wanxian, both of whom surpass Little Sister in terms of appearance and knowledge. I'm afraid that if she follows you, she'll have a hard time getting your favor in the future."

  Xu Haifeng's expression was strange, and he coughed before saying: "How is that possible? Yingmei is elegant and steady, gentle and lovely. I must admit that I have a crush on her."

  "Are you dizzy, little sister? Where is she elegant and gentle? Don't you know her temper?"

  Xu Haifeng suppressed his smile and feigned surprise, saying: "Big brother, how can you say that? Yingmei is just as dear to me as Tang Rourou, both are rare good girls."

  She looked at him with a puzzled expression, not knowing how his attitude had suddenly become so strange, but still said: "Little sister has been neglecting her upbringing since childhood, and her personality is a bit wild, but she is straightforward and will not fight with others."

  He suddenly changed color, stopped talking, and his ears moved slightly, obviously catching the movement outside the door.

  Xu Haifeng could no longer hold back, holding his belly and making a big laughing gesture, but not a single sound came out of his wide open mouth.

  At this moment, Fang Ming suddenly realized that he had been deceived by this kid.

  As expected, Fang Yingying's angry voice came from outside the door: "Dead big brother, who did you say lacked discipline?"

  Xiang Ming scolded Xu Haifeng in his heart, feeling that he was not being a good brother. He hastily called out: "Little sister, Brother Xu has something to discuss with you, I'll take my leave first."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Fang Ying to come in and directly jumped out of the window, fleeing in a hurry.

  Fang Yingying pushed open the door and found that her brother had already run off to who-knows-where. She let out a heavy hum, making up her mind that she would not let him get away with this so easily.

  Xu Haifeng looked at this red-clothed girl and compared to three months ago, she had indeed lost some weight.

  Fang Yingying locked eyes with him, suddenly remembering the conversation she had eavesdropped on earlier. A wave of embarrassment washed over her and her anger dissipated. She wanted to leave, but hadn't found out what happened to Liu Ting yet, so she felt a bit reluctant.

  Xu Haifeng slowed down his tone and smiled, asking: "Ying Mei, it's been three months since we last met, how have you been?"

  Fang Yingying listened to his gentle inquiry, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason. She nodded and said, "Big brother, how's the matter I asked you to take care of?"

  "Since I've already promised my brother, I'll naturally make it happen for you." A strong sense of unshakeable confidence emanated from Xu Haifeng's tone.

  Fang Yingying raised her head, full of surprise: "So... so the disappearance of Ting'er on the night of your new marriage was really done by you?"

  Xu Haifeng nodded proudly and said: "When my family returns with the team, you will be able to see Ting'er."

  Fang Yingying nodded heavily and suddenly asked in confusion: "Big brother, do you also call her Ting'er?"

  "Yes, but it's not just her, I also want to call you Ying'er." Xǔ Hǎifēng stepped forward boldly and grasped her small hand, looking into her eyes.

  Fang Yingying was stared at by him, making her feel uneasy and restless. She struggled slightly but couldn't break free, feeling a wave of shyness wash over her, her heart in disarray, unsure what to do.

  At this time, Xu Haifeng was greatly different from before. His heart was filled with strong confidence and pride, no longer the ignorant and timid boy he once was.

  Since he had a good impression of this beautiful and charming girl, he naturally took the initiative to make a move, in order to win her heart.

  Fang Ying's heart was also filled with anxiety, she had only thought that her sworn brother had taken a great risk for her sake and agreed to rescue Liu Ting, and was full of gratitude in her heart.

  Later, news of Xu Haifeng's exploits in the Xiongnu kept coming, and it was said that he had defeated two of the three top masters of the two countries, earning him the reputation as the number one among the younger generation. And just a few days ago, it was even learned that the Black Flag Army had annihilated more than 5,000 of the famous Beidao's men with just 500 soldiers.

  For Fang Yingying, who was born into a family of martial arts and had always been competitive, there was nothing more attractive than this.

  Her inner self truly began to change, until today when she saw her brother enter Xu Haifeng's room, she secretly followed him. Unexpectedly, she heard some words that made her face turn red with shame. Finally, hearing Fang Xiangming's praise and criticism, she could no longer bear it and jumped out.

  This time when they formally met, she immediately felt that Xu Haifeng was vastly different from before.

  The biggest change is undoubtedly his temperament.

  Although he still looks the same as before, the one standing there is no longer the timid and cautious unknown who shrinks from everything.

  His reputation has spread throughout the world. After this battle, the Black Flag Army has become the undisputed number one army in the world, and no one dares to raise any doubts about it.

  Even a powerful force like the Huns' Flying Horse Corps, led by Tuer Hong, would not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation with him without having at least ten times more troops.

  The 40,000-strong Xiongnu cavalry did not dare to engage in battle with the 33,000-strong Han army and retreated far away. Such a thing would have been unthinkable in the past.

  Fang Xiang and others, while raising their eyebrows and sighing, looked even more highly at Xu Haifeng. Even Fang Lingchen, the most severe and harsh of the three elders of the Fang family, couldn't help but praise him to no end.

  What has changed is only his status, and he himself has become more extraordinary, especially a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through everything in the world, with a wise and all-knowing wisdom that makes people involuntarily worship him.

  She had only felt this way about two people in her life, and those two people were the most extraordinary individuals in today's world.

  The mere thought of having put Xu Haifeng on the same level as them was unthinkable to her.

  If before meeting, she had only a faint sense of unusual feelings in her heart, then after meeting, this feeling sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain, bursting out of the ground and growing vigorously.
