Therefore, the fur coat actually contained the lady’s silliness – she only begged for Ning Gu’s glance on the coat.
“Why did you come again?”
Ning Gu frowned slightly. His cultivation base had not changed. His cultivation base still remained at the tenth level Vein Opening. With this cultivation base, he was not afraid of the coldness of the weather like any ordinary humans did.
He did not need the fur coat!
“Hmm, such a bad temper at such a young age. I made this coat for you out of kindness and good intentions…” said the lady, feeling wronged.
“I don’t need your kindness!” said Ning Gu in a stubborn manner.
“You! Don’t be arrogant because you have a better skill in shooting arrows. I want to challenge you!” said the lady without holding back. She placed the fur coat on the table in the yard and untied the bow on her back.
“You can’t win over me!” Ning Gu showed his temper and also untied his bow on the wall.
The villagers who passed by their fence began to laugh.
“Aiya, Ning Gu squabbled with An Ran again. Their relationship is really good!”
“However, An Ran will definitely cry with dissatisfaction a while later… Her archery could never match Ning Gu.”
The villagers’ gossip did not disturb Ning Gu’s thoughts. On the other hand, the lady appeared to be ashamed, but she felt sweet in the bottom of her heart.
In the yard, there was a rock. There were countless holes on the surface of the rock.
The lady bent her bow and nocked an arrow on it. After firing the arrow, it hit the tip of the bluestone, penetrating more than half an inch into the stone.
She had excellent mastery in archery as her shot was precise, and her strength was not weak at all.
However, before she could start to feel proud of herself, Ning Gu nocked his arrow apathetically. With a single shot, the arrow spilt the lady’s arrow into two. The arrow itself penetrated entirely into the stone!
A sound of cheering was heard from outside the fence. The lady burst into tears and left.
“Ning Gu, you bullied me again! I will not be good to you anymore!”
Upon hearing that, Ning Gu kept his bow and arrow emotionlessly. He was seen as an analogy of wood as he did not even chase after the lady
…
Amongst the cloud and mist on top of Ping Yun Mountain, there was another young man dressed in white clothing with a black cloak, standing upon the clouds. In the wind, he kept his spirit sense and understood the situation in Ping An village.
Ning Gu had a good life. It seemed like he had recovered a lot after a year of rest.
The thing that excited Ning Fan the most was that Ning Gu actually gained admiration from a girl.
However, there was also one thing that made Ning Fan worried. Ning Gu was a blockhead. Not only did he not know how to coax a girl, but his actions were also frowned upon by other girls. Fortunately, that girl still had her affection for Ning Gu after so long. It was so rare to have this type of girl.
“‘An Ran’ was a good name which is better than ‘Ning Gu’. You need a peaceful life. This kind of life is what you are longing for. The bloodshed in the world of cultivation really does not suit you…”
An inexplicable emotion appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes. With an escaping light, he vanished amongst the top of the mountains.
…
At the house of the village chief, An Ran came back home, crying. Upon arriving at her house, she was reprimanded by her father.
“Bad girl, why did you give the fur coat which was in perfectly good condition to someone else? Do you know how much it could sell for in Ping City? Your mind is always thinking about people outside of this family. You really irritate me! Go and get that fur coat back later!”
“It was all my fault! Since it has already been given, I am not going to get it back. You can’t have control over it!” said An Ran loudly, talking back to his father.
As the chief of the village, all the villagers respected him dearly. No one had dared to talk back to him. Even if it was An Ran, she would never dare to reply defiantly to her father normally.
Perhaps she was in a moment of desperation which made her speak in that manner. Her father was really provoked this time.
Since he was a hot tempered man, he slapped the girl after being provoked.
Regret surfaced in his thoughts almost immediately after he thrust his palm. With the strength of his entire body, the slap that he delivered might even weigh thousands of *jin. This was a power that could fight a tiger or a bear. If the slap struck on her daughter’s face, he was afraid that she could not withstand it with her petite body.
However, it was hard to stop at this moment due to the force applied.
At the next second, a cool breeze blew over them. That breeze blocked the powerful slap which could beat a tiger or a leopard.
At the same time, a cold sound was heard outside the house. Immediately, a young man who was wearing white clothing with black cloak came in.
He looked very thin, and his appearance was very pale. It was obvious that he had deficiency of qi and blood. However, when the village chief who was a big man with a height of seven *zhang met his eyes, the village chief had cold sweats dripping all over him!
Of all his hunting experience in his life, countless fierce animals like tigers and leopards had become his preys. He had been accustomed to the coldness of the beasts’ eyes. However, he had never once seen a gaze that was even more terrifying than the young man before him!
Under the young man’s gaze, the village chief was trembling in fear uncontrollably.
If this young man was an ordinary human, he must be an expert who could fight hundreds of enemies at a time. If he was an immortal, he must be a devil who had killed countless of people.
Although the village chief could not see through this young man, he realized that this young man must never be provoked! This thought surfaced on his mind just from the look of the young man.
That was the instinct which was trained from numerous trials of life and death in his hunting experience.
This feeling had only arisen in the heart of the village chief. In contrast, the girl was not invaded by that feeling at all.
Actually, the girl was not aware about the situation around. When she opened her eyes secretly, she was shocked to discover that her father did not slap her. She let out a sigh of relief. Then, her sight shifted to the young man at the door with curiosity.
Who is this guy who came into my house directly without any permission? Is he unaware that my father extremely hated villagers who were impolite and never greeted before entering the house?
Ning Fan smiled faintly and kept his . Then, something that surprised the girl happened.
Her father did not blame the young man for his lack of politeness. In contrast, her father no longer displayed his cold face. Instead, her father deliberately gave a smile which was really unpleasant in her eyes.
“This master, are you coming here for a rest in our village?” said the village chief apologetically.
The girl noticed his father’s respectful attitude towards the young man. She was filled with astonishment. Is this young man who looked unspectacular an important person? This was the only reason that could make her father, who had little exposure of the outside world, so frightened.
