The little tricks Zhang Wei plays are not worth mentioning to Qin Fang at all; this guy's futile resistance is just humiliating himself...

Whatever's happening over there, Qin Fang is not concerned anymore. It's no longer his business, even if Zhang Wei is beaten to death by Fatty and the others; it's got nothing to do with him.

"Then who do you think is the one pulling strings behind the scenes?"

Knowing that there's someone malicious behind this incident and able to persuade the unusual identity of Zhang Wei, this person's identity is obviously quite extraordinary. Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but furrow her brow.

"Why worry so much! We'll face soldiers with generals and water with earth... Everything's on me, just enjoy yourself on the ship as if we're on vacation!"

Qin Fang laughed unconcernedly, seemingly not worried about who the person behind it is at all, even comforting Chu Yunxuan not to worry.

"You'd better be careful! Bright dangers are easy to avoid, hidden ones difficult... Who knows if that scoundrel might try something nasty again?"

However, Chu Yunxuan was still very worried about Qin Fang's safety. This matter was obviously targeting Qin Fang, meaning the person behind it has a grudge against him, so she was naturally very worried.

"Understood, understood!"

Qin Fang relentlessly comforted Chu Yunxuan, eventually managing to ease her worries.

"Xu Ling, you really can't give up, can you..."

But Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter quietly to himself.

Though he didn't tell Chu Yunxuan who the mastermind was, it's not because he didn't know, rather because it was inconvenient to say.

This whole affair was orchestrated by Xu Ling himself. Unfortunately for him, Qin Fang didn't fall into the trap but instead messed up his entire plan effortlessly.

Who exactly is Xu Ling?

He is one of the most significant rivals of Qin Fang, often clashing with him when they were in the Capital City...

This man, known as the most outstanding third-generation descendant of the Xu Family, holds a rather prominent position with considerable weight, which is why he could convince Zhang Wei.

Only with his words would Zhang Wei dare to agree, would dare to take such risks for him, even at the expense of making a fuss with Qin Fang and falling out with old friends and brothers.

However, this paragon particularly likes Tang Feifei, ended up losing to Qin Fang, who successfully snatched Tang Feifei, and still tidied up all his men, which is why he has an intense hatred for Qin Fang.

This isn't surprising, there are plenty of people who hate Qin Fang, a couple more wouldn't matter, but this time, conveniently, on a ship ready to battle Bloody-handed Demon Tu San, coincidentally Xu Ling is also here...

But Qin Fang didn't realize this; instead, Xu Ling saw Qin Fang first, which led to the previous scene; really, Qin Fang's luck is too good.

"Didn't expect to run into him again this time... Should I just toss him into the sea to feed the fish?"

Since Xu Ling is on the ship and played this trick on Qin Fang, if Qin Fang doesn't have some sort of response, he would truly be letting Xu Ling's "special hospitality" down.

However, figuring out how to deal with Xu Ling turns out to be quite a thoughtful consideration for the juniors.

This man's identity is special, he's surely protected by numerous experts. Qin Fang isn't afraid of these experts, but making someone disappear abruptly, he cannot easily escape the consequences.

This involves serious political negotiations. Qin Fang, though considering himself quite a figure, is still insignificant in the face of the enormous state machine.

After contemplating, Qin Fang decided he couldn't resort to overly violent means, that doesn't fit the current situation... nor his identity.

After sending Chu Yunxuan back to her room, Qin Fang discussed some matters with Shen Liang outside.

"How's the investigation going?"

Feeling the soft sea breeze touch his face by the ship's edge, Qin Fang asked calmly.

"Found him, he's staying in cabin 408 upstairs... That's one of the best and largest cabins on this ship!"

Shen Liang nodded and immediately replied.

Earlier, when Qin Fang was with Chu Yunxuan, he sent Shen Liang to investigate. Though the time was short, he still brought back the information.

"That matches his identity well..."

Qin Fang lightly nodded at this result.

The person he had Shen Liang investigate was certainly Xu Ling; only he could have such a grandeur, and only he could command Zhang Wei.

"Seems like I should go greet him..."

Knowing Xu Ling's location, with Chu Yunxuan resting in her cabin room, Qin Fang had nothing else at hand and some time before the battle with Tu San, perfect to sort out some matters.

"You go rest first, I'm going out for a walk..."

Thinking about it, Qin Fang simply instructed Shen Liang to go rest, while he himself wandered around on the ship.

He said he was going to wander, but it was easy to guess what he was actually up to. Shen Liang knew Qin Fang was skilled and brave, and he couldn't be of much help, so he pretended not to know anything and went straight back to rest, while Qin Fang quickly disappeared into the night.

...

Inside cabin 408.

"How did the task go?"

Xu Ling held a goblet in his hand, the red liquid inside flowed like blood, with a faint glow that suggested it was of considerable value.

Unfortunately, Xu Ling clearly wasn't in the mood for drinking at the moment, as he asked the subordinate beside him.

"Those few people failed! Moreover... the other side already saw through their little tricks!"

The one answering him was a strong man who looked like a bodyguard, with a slanted scar on his face, adding a touch of menace to his appearance.

"Hmph... as expected, useless people are just useless! Can't even handle such a small thing..."

Hearing this answer, Xu Ling's expression turned extremely sullen, his words carrying heavy disdain.

"Nevertheless, that person had already terrified many in the Capital City back then, those few guys naturally aren't a match for him..."

However, Xu Ling quickly changed his expression, looking like it was only to be expected.

"By the way, did he give me away?"

He quickly recalled and asked simply.

"No... even if you gave him several guts, he wouldn't dare to reveal the young master's name!"

The bodyguard shook his head, speaking with disdain.

As the saying goes, those close to red become red, those close to ink become black. These bodyguards had been by Xu Ling's side for years, and their vision was quite high. Someone like Zhang Wei, a frivolous second-generation official, could definitely call the shots in Jiangzhou, even Wu Jian might have to defer to him...

But Xu Ling didn't think much of Zhang Wei, not even Xu Ling's bodyguards appreciated this guy! If Zhang Wei knew this, he'd probably feel like spitting blood...

"Forget it, let this matter end here... handle it, make sure that man's mouth stays shut, I don't want him saying what shouldn't be said!"

With things escalating like this, Xu Ling had nothing more to say. Not many knew about his presence on the ship, and as long as a certain someone's mouth was shut, the news wouldn't easily leak.

Thinking about the opponent's strength and dominance, Xu Ling was quite frustrated, really at a loss for what to do...

In terms of identity and background, Qin Fang was on a completely different level, yet both the Tang and Chu families showed him exceptional care, even more so than their own children!

The Xu Family was indeed a prestigious family in the Capital City, with substantial depth, but facing someone like Qin Fang, Xu Ling was quite helpless too.

As for tactics and violence, Qin Fang had an absolute advantage. Regular updates showed Qin Fang's strength had reached a high level, making it difficult to find someone who could counter him, leaving Xu Ling feeling quite hopeless!

For all these reasons, Xu Ling hated Qin Fang to the core, yet he was also very cautious, so he could only resort to small tricks in the dark, not daring to act openly... He couldn't guarantee there weren't people from the Tang or Chu families around him...

"Understood, young master! I know what to do..."

The bodyguard nodded and was about to leave to handle the matter.

"Hmph... just a bunch of useless people! Why is there never someone really useful..."

After the bodyguard left, Xu Ling couldn't help mumbling, clearly not very satisfied with even this bodyguard.

Just as he dismissed the bodyguard and turned around, he found someone sitting at his place.

Who was it?

It was none other than Qin Fang himself. He had already arrived at Xu Ling's room, even smiling while looking at the slightly shocked Xu Ling.

"It's you..."

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Qin Fang, Xu Ling was slightly stunned, then instinctively exclaimed.

"Young Master Xu, long time no see..."

Qin Fang was quite composed, even warmly greeting Xu Ling with a smile.

However, the look in his eyes was ill-intentioned, constantly evaluating Xu Ling's body like he was searching for a spot to strike... making Xu Ling feel all his pores open, an icy sensation creeping into him, sending chills down his spine!

Finding Xu Ling once again, Qin Fang not only felt some anger but more than anything, he felt somewhat surprised. It's as if they were destined enemies, meeting in the vast sea of people, further confirming that their relationship was extremely unfriendly... (To be continued.
