Chapter 1225: Calm Before the Duel

...

The Princess set sail, advancing into the depths of the ocean.

The sea breeze gently swept across the deck, bringing a chill that made the body somewhat shiver, yet if one savored it carefully, there seemed to be an indescribable fresh taste.

Qin Fang held Chu Yunxuan's hand, walking on the deck by the ship's side, watching the afterglow of the sunset sink into the sea's horizon, appearing particularly atmospheric.

"We couldn't watch the sunrise together, but this sunset isn't bad after all..."

Qin Fang said with a cheerful smile.

A few days ago, an unexpected incident had completely ruined their original good mood for watching the sunrise, making Chu Yunxuan especially frustrated, and Qin Fang saw all of this, so he decided to make up for it with a sunset.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll watch the sunrise with you again... That will definitely make you feel better!"

Of course, the sunrise couldn't be missed either. Watching the sunrise at sea is much more reliable than at the seaside. On the blue sea, with rippling waves, a red sun rises slowly into the sky—just imagining this beautiful sight, one knows it must be very beautiful. How could it be missed?

"Don't trick me, I'll be waiting then..."

Chu Yunxuan responded with a sweet smile. She knew that Qin Fang suddenly boarded the ship this time to resolve a major trouble, and couldn't accompany her the entire time.

Even so, she didn't want Qin Fang to worry about her, so she pretended not to know anything, responding with a charming smile.

"Of course!"

Qin Fang immediately laughed.

But as he laughed, his expression changed slightly, and then he flashed his eyes toward Shen Liang, who seemed to be idle in the corner.

"Yunxuan, you go rest first, I have something to attend to..."

As he spoke, Qin Fang had already stood up, and Shen Liang also approached from a distance.

"Mm, be careful..."

Besides Shen Liang, Chu Yunxuan also noticed another young man slowly walking from the other side of the passage. Though his speed wasn't fast, there was a unique aura in his movements.

It was precisely after seeing him that Qin Fang had such a reaction...

Chu Yunxuan didn't linger much longer. She just curiously glanced at the man coming from the opposite side before slowly leaving under Shen Liang's protection.

With Chu Yunxuan gone, Qin Fang felt much more at ease and walked slowly toward the man coming from the opposite direction, eventually stopping about three meters away at the edge of the deck.

"Tu San?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, who seemed ordinary but had an overbearing aura, especially with an intense murderous vibe that couldn't dissipate, one could tell he was an exceptional villain.

Qin Fang appeared quite calm, as if he didn't notice the overwhelming murderous aura, and asked in a rather puzzled tone.

"Hmm!"

The person was indeed Tu San, without any doubt, although Qin Fang himself knew it. However, he spoke in such a manner to differentiate.

It was their first meeting, and Qin Fang couldn't just blatantly recognize Tu San, so guessing like this would have a better effect.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Qin Fang nodded, then asked in a rather odd manner, as if he was quite confused by Tu San's behavior.

As for the dispute with Tu San, Qin Fang had already considered it, and regardless of the outcome, he absolutely refused to admit to the assassination of Han Long.

Although Han Long's death was significantly related to Qin Fang, it was still a fact that Han Long was bitten to death by a dog...

Even if Tu San heard from others that Han Long was killed by Qin Fang, this fact was hard to change, as long as Qin Fang firmly insisted he knew nothing, then this crime couldn't be pinned on him.

It's not that Qin Fang was afraid of certain people; he just didn't want to add more unnecessary trouble for himself at this time.

As for the battle with Tu San, it was destined from the moment Tu San boarded the ship and couldn't be changed by anything... Even if Qin Fang was indeed not the one who killed Han Long, Tu San wouldn't let it go!

Tu San was no ordinary person, hearing Qin Fang's words, his expression didn't change, but a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he kept sizing up Qin Fang with his eyes.

Being scrutinized so brazenly by such a sharp gaze, even someone as composed as Qin Fang couldn't help but feel deeply uncomfortable.

Luckily, though the gaze was suddenly intense, it was at least not ambiguous, sinister, or too interested, which ruled out the possibility that Tu San had some special fetish. This discovery made Qin Fang feel slightly more at ease, as he had no desire to become Tu San's "prey"...

"Your strength is not bad. I wish to challenge you..."

After sizing up Qin Fang, Tu San fell silent for a moment before speaking in a distant tone, yet his eyes remained fixed on Qin Fang, revealing nothing.

"No problem... time and place!"

Qin Fang responded quite straightforwardly, neither asking for a reason nor questioning why. Instead, he inquired about the time and place, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Tu San's request.

"Three days later, there..."

As Tu San spoke, he pointed to the highest point on this Princess luxury yacht, the highest position on the ship's mast.

"Alright..."

That spot was extremely high, and at night it became pitch black. Unless there's some radar malfunction, it was a place rarely visited, thus making it a quiet and ideal location for a decisive battle...

The position was very high, ensuring it wouldn't affect others and wouldn't be easily discovered.

Furthermore, it was one of the largest open spaces apart from the deck. The entire Princess luxury yacht had a semi-surrounded structure, with only a small part of the deck at the front of the ship, essentially leaving no other locations.

Fighting on the deck was evidently very inappropriate.

If seen by others, it would quickly attract more onlookers, making it difficult for Qin Fang and Tu San to unleash their full strength. This was something Qin Fang was very averse to happening.

This time's opponent was evenly matched, with Tu San being slightly stronger than Qin Fang, making this confrontation potentially grueling.

Not only arduous but even the slightest slip and Qin Fang's life could be forfeit, compelling him to go all out.

The more critical the situation, the less room there was for distraction. Fighting on the deck would be very unwise, and after considering it, only that spot was suitable!

Tu San was extraordinary in gunmanship, but his true strength lay in martial arts. Choosing such a high place was basically telling Qin Fang he was forgoing the gun to duel Qin Fang in martial arts.

This also explained why he recognized Qin Fang's considerable strength and thus issued the challenge... clearly, he saw Qin Fang as equally formidable.

Conversely, without using a gun, Tu San couldn't gauge Qin Fang's skill in gunmanship, making this method of resolution quite fitting.

Tu San not using a gun was good news for Qin Fang as well.

The reason Qin Fang wanted to fight Tu San was to use this enormous crisis to push himself to grow quickly and surpass the grandmaster level, which was now his top priority.

This battle with Tu San was the critical fight for Qin Fang to break through to the grandmaster level. Suppression and breakthrough were the main themes, and using firearms clearly would not achieve that effect, something Qin Fang himself resisted.

Now that Tu San voluntarily abandoned firearms to battle Qin Fang atop the yacht, it would be a hearty life-and-death fight to pre-celebrate Qin Fang's advancement!

"Don't be late..."

"Don't be late..."

Both men uttered these words almost simultaneously. They exchanged glances briefly before turning to walk in their respective directions.

The first formal meeting of Qin Fang and Tu San ended just as it began, with such peculiarity, yet neither felt anything odd about it.

The time and place for the duel were set, and the next three days were destined to be relatively calm. Neither would make a move against the other during this period.

Qin Fang wouldn't attempt an assassination on Tu San, nor would Tu San act against Qin Fang. Instead, they quietly awaited the arrival of the duel...

Such extraneous actions were unnecessary as they held no meaning.

For both Qin Fang and Tu San, this was a duel between two men, a fair fight, and any interference would be immensely unethical.

Furthermore, both Qin Fang and Tu San were top-class masters, and even if someone tried to provoke during this duel, it would truly be unnecessary.

Neither Qin Fang nor Tu San were short of money. Offering a random red envelope would be a huge gesture, enough to make someone think they sent a bomb.

Being well-off, they wouldn't be provoked into a furious clash over a bit of money. Even if provoked, it would likely not escalate.

Both Qin Fang and Tu San demonstrated an understanding, quietly accumulating strength and awaiting the battle, neither daring to relax even a bit lest one of them be the one killed...

Neither Qin Fang nor Tu San wanted to be the unfortunate one, so naturally, they were extremely careful and exerting their utmost in preparing for the great battle, with their energy, spirit, and mentality swiftly adjusting to reach the absolute peak!
