The old lady's birthday banquet is over. Originally, we were worried about her limited life span, but now that we have this Millennium Clam Pearl, there's no need to worry much.
Qin Qing can also be completely at ease; living past a hundred might not be certain, but extending her life for a few years is definitely not a problem. This way, even if she leaves, Qin Fang doesn't have to worry about not seeing the old lady's last visit.
The Spring Festival has already passed, and Qin Fang and his group have been in Hong Kong for over a month. It's about time to head back...
"Mom, if you're not comfortable, then stay here. Anyway, there's nothing much at home. I can't go back often, but at least here you can have someone to talk to..."
Qin Fang definitely has to leave, but whether Qin Qing goes back is not too important. Afraid that his mother would be too lonely, Qin Fang offered this advice.
Staying here with the Qu Family, they are considered family. Although that issue can't be resolved for now, it won't lead to a complete fallout, and there's some care and support.
Moreover, Qin Fang is leaving the Millennium Clam Pearl behind, not only for extending the old lady's life, but also hoping that Qin Qing's health will improve greatly.
The Ninja Token task isn't urgent for now; it will take time. First use the spiritual water derived from the Millennium Clam Pearl for nurturing, and later use the Golden Dragon Saliva for enhancement. This way, the medicinal effect remains, and the risk is greatly reduced, which is naturally more appropriate.
"Besides, I can come over to see you anytime..."
It's with such considerations that Qin Fang convinced her.
Staying with the Qu Family isn't about splitting property; though Qin Fang's wealth can't compare to the Qu Family for now, he's not lacking money. The amount doesn't mean much to him.
As for Qin Qing, years ago she could leave directly; no matter how much she suffered, she wouldn't come back. Now, it's even more impossible for her to stay just for some property.
"That's right, Xiao Qing, Qin Fang is right. Just stay. Both the old man and I are getting on in years, and there aren't many days left. Who knows when we'll just leave, if..."
The old lady also persuaded from the side.
"Alright then..."
With Qin Fang's words and the old lady's persuasion, Qin Qing finally agreed to stay temporarily in Hong Kong.
Thus, Qin Fang felt much more at ease. With Qin Qing staying at the Qu Family, he didn't have to worry about life and safety issues, making it convenient for him to focus on his own business.
He had too many enemies outside, and with his mother alone back home, he couldn't feel assured. Although enemies shouldn't involve family, some certainly wouldn't consider that.
Now that this issue is resolved, Qin Fang's worries are gone, and he can act without hesitation...
And traveling to Hong Kong isn't too troublesome for Qin Fang. If his mom misses him, he can always come over.
...
Lantern Festival is approaching, Kong Er, Qu Yuancheng, and others gathered as a group and immediately set off for Macau, where He Feifan's gambling event is held.
Basically, after the trip to Macau, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei will return to the mainland and don't need to return to Hong Kong.
"Jingjing, you're really beautiful..."
"Feifei, you're the truly pretty one... Ningning is also a beauty!"
"I'm already an old lady..."
As expected, Xing Jingjing arrived and naturally met Qin Fang's official girlfriend, Tang Feifei. Qin Fang introduced them, and the two women quickly became friends.
Fan Ning soon appeared too. Having heard that Xing Jingjing would join, she came along. Anyway, she and Tang Feifei were already familiar with each other, so no introduction was needed.
Three women make a play!
The saying surely isn't for nothing. Now with the three of them gathered, it was truly lively. Although it seemed harmonious on the surface, Qin Fang felt they were competing secretly.
Qin Fang was puzzled, thinking the tension between Tang Feifei and Fan Ning was understandable, but why was Xing Jingjing involved too?
Qin Fang figured Xing Jingjing was just a bystander affected innocently, wanting to explain a few things, but seeing the smiling expressions of the women, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
However, no real conflicts arose between the women, and they seemed harmonious. After arriving in Macau and greeting Qin Fang, they planned to shop and have fun together.
Qin Fang didn't stop them nor intended to follow. Women shopping is always a torment for men, and shopping with three women is definitely not something he would volunteer to do.
But he still arranged Shen Liang to protect them in secret, which made Qin Fang feel more assured. Although Tang Feifei has Middle Level Ninja skills, she's not familiar with combat; her self-defense might be feasible, but it's uncertain for the other two.
With Shen Liang protecting them secretly, and also doubling as the driver, if anything happened, he could immediately notify Qin Fang, providing double protection.
Tang Feifei and the other two didn't pay much attention; they were interested in shopping and traveling, but not in gambling, and they didn't discuss much with Qin Fang, just moving on directly.
And Qin Fang waved to Kong Er and the others, each went off to find their own fun, while Qin Fang contacted Yu Zheng, who was currently in Macau, and arranged to meet up.
Coincidentally, the hotel where Yu Zheng was staying happened to be the same hotel where Qin Fang and his group were lodging, just a few floors apart, so Qin Fang didn't have to go far and went directly there.
"Young Master Qin…"
Yu Zheng was still very polite to Qin Fang.
Even though their transaction had ended after the previous time he helped, Yu Zheng was still very grateful to Qin Fang, this young man who helped him make a comeback.
Moreover, he understood that last time was just a small matter; even if he hadn't done it, Qin Fang could have found someone else to help.
Compared to his gratitude for Qin Fang's help in rebuilding his life, it really wasn't much.
Everyone has a scale in their heart; some people's scales are balanced, while some are tilted towards themselves. Clearly, Yu Zheng belonged to the former.
"Uncle Yu, why are you being so polite to me?"
Qin Fang was also quite courteous to Yu Zheng, whose age was significantly older, so calling him Uncle Yu was quite reasonable. "I heard about the Gambling King Competition, how do you feel about it? How confident are you?"
Qin Fang had come to find Yu Zheng specifically for the Gambling King Competition. The one-million-dollar bet with Kong Er and the others wasn't a major issue; the main thing was knowing that Yu Zheng wanted to reclaim what he lost in the past, and even aimed to win the world Gambling King title…
"The opponents this time are quite strong, even I don't have full confidence…"
Yu Zheng shook his head as he spoke.
The Gambling Kings in the Asia Division are all quite formidable. Although Yu Zheng hasn't lost his skill, it's been many years since he last played, and while his realm might have improved, his technique may not be much stronger than the other Gambling Kings.
What's more, the process of gambling is ever-changing, and the performance of one's state is an important consideration. Facing opponents of the same level, the outcome is naturally unpredictable.
"No worries, just do your best. I believe you can succeed!"
Although Yu Zheng seemed to express little confidence verbally, the fighting spirit in his eyes and the blazing self-confidence showed his strong attack power.
Since that was the case, Qin Fang didn't have much more to add.
"By the way, Young Master Qin, I heard you have a bet with He Feifan of the He family?"
Yu Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked rather curiously, his expression a bit peculiar.
"That's right, there's indeed such a bet… Eh, how did you find out?"
Qin Fang nodded in agreement.
But then he froze; this matter should have been known to only a few people, so how did Yu Zheng already know about it?
"This matter has already spread in our circle…"
Yu Zheng said with an odd look on his face. The world outside didn't know about this because it was supposed to be a private bet, but now it had spread within their circle, which was rather different.
"Do you know who will be representing He Feifan?"
Seeing Qin Fang seem a bit puzzled, Yu Zheng asked.
"Who?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but frown, it seemed like He Feifan didn't plan to play himself, but was getting someone else to take action.
"He Feifan's mentor… the Gambling King of Japan, Kawasaki Ichiro!"
Seeing that Qin Fang really didn't know about this, Yu Zheng finally gave a name.
"Kawasaki Ichiro was a Gambling King during my time, his strength back then was comparable to mine, only we never managed to face off…"
"After I retired, he rarely appeared, focusing on training disciples… It's said He Feifan was his disciple, and although not a direct disciple, one of the outstanding ones…"
"It seems he heard about my return to the martial world, aiming for the world Gambling King title, so he also came out from Japan… Just in time for your bet with He Feifan, he personally came out to compete!"
Yu Zheng briefly explained what he knew.
The name Kawasaki Ichiro was unfamiliar to Qin Fang, he had almost never heard of it before, but his strength was undoubtedly impressive.
This sudden reappearance was bound to cause a stir in this Gambling King circle, and having such a competition spread within this circle was quite understandable.
He Feifan turns out to be quite insidious, clearly holding such a grudge against Qin Fang, which is why he arranged this wager, yet he didn't even plan to handle it himself, actually bringing in his mentor… (to be continued.
