What had just occurred was far more serious than that past incident: his son Liu Junhao had been beaten, and the dojang's instructor had his leg broken...
Liu Junhao could even imagine the furious stature of his father, as well as the tragic fate awaiting Qin Fang.
But...
Would things really unfold as he imagined?
Liu Xianhe looked over at the Taekwondo instructor who had been sent to the side to rest, clutching his shin and wailing in pain. Especially when he looked over, the originally soft wail suddenly grew much louder, causing Liu Xianhe's brows to furrow even tighter.
"Mr. Qin, what's... what happened here?"
Turning to look at Qin Fang, Liu Xianhe calmly asked, not flipping out right away.
"Oh, it's nothing too serious, just that I accidentally went a bit too hard during a spar... I'll take care of this gentleman's medical expenses," Qin Fang replied, quite composed and natural.
"I see... Junhao, arrange for someone to take Mr. Xian Jun to the hospital for treatment. We'll cover the medical expenses at the dojang and also give Mr. Xian Jun three months' extra salary," Liu Xianhe said with a light nod, immediately addressing Liu Junhao standing by his side.
As a Level 5 Expert, he vaguely knew that Qin Fang's strength was comparable to his own, meaning that everyone in the dojang, including his son Liu Junhao, were no match for Qin Fang.
Since they were not experts on the same level, there was no point in talking about a fair spar. It was clear that his own people had intended to gang up, but instead got handled by Qin Fang...
This wasn't hard to guess, especially with Li Enhui clinging to Qin Fang's arm and standing nearby. It was even more needless to say—in fact, as a father, he had long known of his son Liu Junhao's fondness for Li Enhui. He had even approached the Li Family with a marriage proposal... but because Li Enhui was unwilling, it was unsuccessful.
"Eh..."
Liu Junhao was immediately dumbfounded, looking at his father with disbelief. He couldn't fathom how his protective and fierce father could suddenly change his nature, not even farting when his own people got their legs broken, and actually offering to pay for their medical expenses...
"Father... You... Could it be... You've made a mistake? He's the one who injured our people..."
Liu Junhao, still unwilling to give up, tried to provoke a fierce battle between his father and Qin Fang!
Slap!
However, his struggles were met with a slap from Liu Xianhe.
"Shut up!"
Koreans can sometimes be like Japanese in temperament, with strictly authoritarian family traditions, where younger generations are not allowed to challenge decisions.
Of course, this is also a common problem among all prestigious families in Dragon Country.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, for making a fool of ourselves in front of you..."
After slapping Liu Junhao, Liu Xianhe continued as if nothing had happened, apologizing to Qin Fang very sincerely.
"No worries..."
Qin Fang shrugged his shoulders. Unsure of what to say to such a father and son, he observed Li Enhui who seemed unsurprised, clearly finding such handling of matters to be quite normal.
With no face left to stay, Liu Junhao could only leave in anger. But the bitter look he gave Qin Fang before leaving made Qin Fang shake his head in amusement. Evidently, the young man was not magnanimous at heart and deeply resented Qin Fang.
But Qin Fang didn't really care; to him, a Level 4 greenhorn like Liu Junhao, even if he came in dozens, would be no match for Qin Fang's effortless skill—it was as easy as slicing melons and dicing vegetables, so he didn't take him seriously at all.
Not to mention that the kid was from Korea, this wasn't his turf, and even if he wanted revenge, he just didn't have the capability...
"Enhui, you're here for the Yunluo Tea, right?... Come on in!"
Liu Xianhe was inclined to ask Qin Fang to stay for a chat, but considering they weren't that close, he decided on a more roundabout tactic and turned to speak to Li Enhui instead.
"Yes, Uncle Liu... it's my father who asked me to retrieve it; he's been looking forward to it for quite some days now!"
Li Enhui immediately responded with a beaming smile.
In fact, her visit today had dual purposes: one was official business, and the other was to use Qin Fang as a shield to deal with Liu Junhao, an objective now prematurely accomplished, which of course delighted her.
"Mr. Qin, please come in..."
Since Qin Fang had accompanied Li Enhui, and she was going inside, it would naturally be improper to leave Qin Fang outside alone; Liu Xianhe thus invited Qin Fang to join as well, and this time it was perfectly proper.
"The honor is all mine!"
Faced with such a friendly invitation from Liu Xianhe, Qin Fang naturally couldn't refuse, so he accompanied Li Enhui inside, heading directly to the top-floor office of the Taekwondo Dojang.
This appeared to be Liu Xianhe's office, not very lavishly decorated—in fact, it looked quite simple, more like a training room, indicating Liu Xianhe's diligent pursuit of the Martial Way.
However, judging by his talent, which had him hovering at Level 5 in his near fifties, it didn't seem likely that he'd ever reach the Grandmaster Level in his lifetime. And even if he did, advancing further would be practically impossible.
"Please wait a moment for the two of you..."
After settling Qin Fang and Li Enhui, Liu Xianhe politely excused himself, then went into the back office to retrieve something—presumably, he had a safe installed there, but this was of no concern to Qin Fang, who paid no attention to such matters.
It didn't take long for Liu Xianhe to return, carrying two paper packages in his hands. They weren't very large, but he handled them with great care, suggesting they were quite valuable.
"Enhui, this is for your father..."
He handed one of the packages to Li Enhui, which evidently contained the Yunluo Tea she had mentioned.
The other package was opened by Liu Xianhe, who then took out cups and brewed a serving of tea for Qin Fang, Li Enhui, and himself.
While Liu Xianhe was preparing the tea, Li Enhui softly explained to Qin Fang the origin of the Yunluo Tea.
Yunluo Tea is a very rare type of Korean tea, currently with only three remaining trees on the mountain where the Ryu Family resides. The annual yield is extremely limited, so the Ryu family treasures it deeply, offering it only to close friends. Ordinary acquaintances rarely get to taste it.
The Ryu Family and the Li Family of the Seven Stars Group had a very good relationship, but even so, they could only obtain a pack of Yunluo Tea from the Ryu Family every few years—this time, Li Enhui had come to collect it.
"Mr. Qin, I've only had the pleasure of tasting this Yunluo Tea once before—I didn't expect that today, thanks to you, I'd get to enjoy it again..."
Li Enhui said cheerfully, obviously placing great value on the Yunluo Tea.
Qin Fang responded with a casual smile. He wasn't particularly passionate about tea, as fine teas tasted pretty much the same to him.
How good the Yunluo Tea truly was compared to the finest Dahongpao from Mount Wuyi, he didn't care in the slightest. Based on Li Enhui's description, the Yunluo Tea was evidently very precious, so Qin couldn't help but wonder why Liu Xianhe, having just met him and even with a bit of a grudge between them, would be willing to serve such a precious tea.
"Mr. Qin, please enjoy... This is our Ryu family's most precious Yunluo Tea, harvested from the summit of Korea's highest Hanna Mountain. This Yunluo Tea, absorbing the essence of sun and moon, not only offers a rich taste but also benefits the mind, calms the spirit, and has invigorating effects..."
As Liu Xianhe brought over the cups of tea, he proudly introduced them, seemingly convinced of the tea's almost magical properties...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation.)
