Qin Fang walked out of Xu Ling's cabin with great dignity, leaving behind only the terrifying Xu Ling with a face ashen and the pile of corpses on the ground!

He didn't touch Xu Ling…

This person's background is complicated. Killing him wouldn't be a problem, but the trouble it would cause Qin Fang would be quite a headache.

So, for the time being, Qin Fang didn't want to touch him and decided to spare his life for now.

Qin Fang figured that every time he saw Xu Ling in the future, he would take out one of Xu Ling's people. He didn't believe that after three or five times, Xu Ling would still dare to play tricks on him.

These men have been with Xu Ling for many years and are trusted confidants. People like this are not easy to nurture, losing even one is a significant loss!

Qin Fang wiped them out in one fell swoop, enough to make Xu Ling grieve for quite a while.

Moreover, these people were all cultivated by the Xu Family. Now that Xu Ling is fuming inside and simultaneously facing the family's doubts, it's enough to give him a headache!

Just after Qin Fang left, within a few minutes, someone else came in. It turned out to be the big man who had been inquiring about Qin Fang earlier.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he sensed something was amiss in the cabin.

"Young Master Xu, this..."

Seeing so many corpses on the floor, the man was utterly shocked. When he left earlier, everything was fine, but in just a few minutes, all these people were dead!

"First, deal with the bodies…"

Xu Ling helplessly waved his hand, giving a simple instruction.

He hadn't anticipated such an incident occurring in advance. Originally, he just wanted to give Qin Fang a simple lesson. Even if he couldn't really do anything to Qin Fang, at least disgusting him a bit would be a sort of victory.

But Xu Ling, who considered himself exceptionally intelligent, found himself at a loss. He never expected Qin Fang, who didn't play by the rules, not only cleaned up Zhang Wei and his men but also directly confronted him.

What he didn't expect even more was that Qin Fang, though not laying a finger on him, almost killed all of his usable people around him, leaving him as a solitary commander.

If not for that last person coincidentally being out, he might have ended up like the others on the ground, another corpse among the many.

"Qin Fang… I won't just let this slide!"

Xu Ling's face was exceptionally ugly, perhaps extremely unsightly.

As a favored child of the heavens, hailed as the most outstanding offspring of the family, having grown up under the spotlight, he has always been the exemplar of excellence.

Yet to his surprise, Tang Feifei, whom he had admired and thought he could easily marry, resolutely fell into the arms of another, leaving him without even a trace of hesitation or unwillingness.

And the man's name was… Qin Fang!

From that moment on, Xu Ling marked Qin Fang as his enemy, and in his heart, this person had already made the death list.

However, on the trip to the Capital City, Qin Fang not only made a stellar name for himself but also dismantled all of Xu Ling's subtle attacks, leaving him with a silent loss.

That was only the first encounter between the two, and they hadn't even truly met face to face. So technically, Xu Ling just suffered a small loss, but it wasn't a defeat, just a lack of understanding of Qin Fang.

But this time, the two not only faced each other but actually took action against one another…

The result, then, Xu Ling's petty tricks were ineffective against Qin Fang, but Qin Fang's counterattack almost devastated Xu Ling, causing significant damage.

Such an outcome, perhaps no one anticipated, right?

Qin Fang left Xu Ling's side without taking this matter too seriously. Killing was just killing, and he had no regrets whatsoever.

Because he simply didn't care, and he also guessed that Xu Ling couldn't do anything to him, naturally leaving him with fewer worries, Xu Ling was sure to suffer this loss.

"This person is really a nuisance. If there's a chance, it's better to wipe him out, to avoid constantly guarding against him…"

Qin Fang was muttering to himself.

Today clearly wasn't the right time to make a move. Just after Xu Ling plotted against Qin Fang, if Xu Ling were suddenly killed on the ship, who would believe that Qin Fang wasn't the suspect?

In the end, even if it wasn't Qin Fang who did it, Qin Fang would be the prime suspect… it really would be mistaken for something it's not!

For this boring scapegoating, Qin Fang doesn't want to bear it for now. At least not until he's resolved those troubles; he's not willing to take the blame.

For example, the current situation really isn't appropriate...

Soon, he would be facing a battle with Bloody-handed Demon Tu San. If Xu Ling were killed mid-voyage, this ship's journey would end here. Although Qin Fang wouldn't face major issues, the battle would inevitably be delayed.

If that battle gets delayed, Qin Fang can't break through, the Tang Sect would come looking, Tu San wouldn't relent, and if it involves a major political game, then Qin Fang would really be in trouble.

In the middle of the night, the cruise continued navigating the ocean. Several floating corpses appeared on the sea surface, yet nobody noticed them.

Xu Ling's status is special; not many people on the ship know, but at least the captain and senior crew are aware. Typically, floating bodies on the sea require investigation, but this time no one bothered, pretending to see nothing...

Thus, the bodies were abandoned into the sea, eventually becoming fish food with nothing left but bones...

These matters have little to do with Qin Fang; Xu Ling handles them, Qin Fang doesn't even know, because he returned to his cabin to rest after his affairs.

Xu Ling was unable to sleep all night. Qin Fang, who came and went without a trace, put immense pressure on him; he was afraid he'd never wake up if he fell asleep. He didn't know if Qin Fang might suddenly appear before him in his sleep... This night was naturally very difficult.

In contrast, Qin Fang slept deeply. With a beauty in his arms and a peaceful mind, he naturally slept soundly until dawn, feeling much more refreshed.

He didn't need to worry like Xu Ling about someone suddenly attacking him in his sleep...

On this ship, the only person who could truly threaten him was Bloody-handed Demon Tu San.

Although Tu San has killed countless people, with blood-stained hands, he's extremely trustworthy; he does what he says.

He promised a fight with Qin Fang in three days, so he definitely wouldn't act before then. Moreover, if anyone dared to harm Qin Fang, Tu San would warn him.

Of course, he wouldn't help Qin Fang eliminate enemies...

If an enemy is strong enough to kill Qin Fang, that saves him some trouble; he wouldn't need to act personally.

Some might feel uncomfortable if someone takes out their opponent, but he wouldn't... Helping Qin Fang kill enemies brings him no benefit, and might even harm him. Why would he do such foolish things?

Besides Tu San, no one else could threaten Qin Fang, so he could sleep comfortably... Though Xu Ling despised Qin Fang, he had no people capable of dealing with him. He could only wallow in self-pity and nurse his wounds!

Qin Fang slept very soundly, waking at midday. Chu Yunxuan had already changed clothes, sitting on the small deck outside the cabin to sunbathe.

The luxury cruise offers such perks; outside some cabins with great locations, there's a small deck for guests to place beach chairs, lie down, and quietly enjoy a sunbath...

Unfortunately, it was still slightly chilly; even with sunlight, swimsuits weren't an option. So Chu Yunxuan was just lazily sunbathing.

"Hey, what's happening outside?"

She quickly noticed that a lot of people had gathered on the large deck at the bottom of the cruise, pointing at the sea as if something had happened.

This scene immediately caught her attention. Their cabin was high up; she could only hear buzzing noise below but couldn't tell what was happening.

"What's going on?"

Right then, Qin Fang came out in his robe, intending to sunbathe, noticing Chu Yunxuan's curious gaze and the crowd below, he also found it strange.

"Seems like something happened..."

Chu Yunxuan slightly frowned, not knowing for sure.

"I'll call Shen Liang to investigate..."

Qin Fang was unconcerned, pulling out his phone to call Shen Liang.

Just after he made the call, Shen Liang was already coming over. He had already gathered information on what happened below, and since Qin Fang asked, he came to report.

"What happened? People seem quite disturbed..."

When Shen Liang arrived, Qin Fang curiously asked.

Something must have happened below, otherwise such a crowd wouldn't gather.

"They found several bodies, floating in the sea for almost a day..."

Shen Liang reported the information he'd gathered to Qin Fang.

When Shen Liang said this, Qin Fang couldn't help but pause, his expression turning odd, silently muttering, "Xu Ling, that fool, wouldn't just throw corpses into the sea randomly, would he..."
