Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Third Master, please calm your anger

The little guy didn’t speak and all was quiet, but once he opened his mouth, the matter couldn’t be settled.

Shi Yaoguang looked at the man with a dark expression, then at the unyielding Shi Fan, and felt a headache coming on.

She even had the idea of settling accounts with the instigator of all this.

This instigator, of course, was the man who had been talking nonsense with the little guy.

That is, the person Shi Fan called Brother Baokang.

In the military camp.

Baokang sneezed several times in a row.

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who is talking about me behind my back?"

The person beside him looked at him and joked, "Maybe it’s because you’ve been running your mouth off, and someone has caught on."

"Running my mouth off? Don’t you guys start blaming me for everything; when have I ever done that?"

Baokang adamantly denied the words he’d said, and his comrades laughed heartily, "Don’t even try to deny it; you’re the one who has been chatting with Shi Fan the most. Now he’s gone back, and for all we know, he might be complaining at home. If the captain finds out, you’ll definitely be punished!"

"This..." Baokang felt extremely wronged, "What did I say? Was what I said wrong? When we were together, who didn’t say a few dirty jokes? Now you’re all pinning it on me? Just wait, if I get punished, you won’t be able to escape it either!"

As they were speaking at this moment, they had no idea that the punishment would come swiftly and urgently.

By the time Shi Fan returned to the camp, when he saw them again, the atmosphere had changed completely.

Dirty jokes?

There were absolutely none!

Not only were there no dirty jokes, but even normal conversations had become much more proper.

Of course, that was all to come later.

At the moment, Shi Fan had no idea that he had implicated Brother Baokang and others.

Right now, he was in a standoff with Quan Jinbei.

He looked at Quan Jinbei, expressing his thoughts very firmly.

"I will definitely be with my sister, and even if you try to stop it on purpose, it will be futile!"

Quan Jinbei, "You’re dreaming!"

"I am not dreaming!" the little guy argued with reason, "A beautiful girl can be pursued by anyone, and I am no exception! Don’t look at me as just a kid now; I will grow up eventually! Once I’m grown, I’ll naturally have core competitiveness. By then, you will be old and faded..."

Quan Jinbei, who was described as old and faded, "..."

He looked at Shi Yaoguang with a mournful expression, his tone slightly accusatory, "Do you also think I’ll be old and faded by then?"

Shi Yaoguang waved her hands repeatedly, "Of course not!"

As she spoke, she looked at Shi Fan, "Xiaofan, listen to your sister, we can’t be together."

The little guy nodded easily, "I know that, sister. I’m not asking to be with you right now; I just hope that when you want to be with someone, you can remember me!"

As he said this, he held his little head high, looking at her expectantly.

Shi Yaoguang held her forehead, "What I mean is, even after you’ve grown up, we won’t be together."

"Xiaofan is still too young to understand what being ’together’ means, so don’t deliberately say these things to upset your uncle——"

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t even finished saying ’uncle’ when she got hit with Quan Jinbei’s death glare.

She hurriedly changed her words, "What I mean is, don’t make your brother-in-law angry. If he’s unhappy, your sister will be unhappy too, understand?"

The little guy, not understanding, furrowed his brow, "Sister, why would brother-in-law be unhappy? I haven’t said anything wrong!"

"Besides, shouldn’t sister be with someone who can make you happy? If brother-in-law gets like this, won’t it be too awkward? Being with someone like that, are you really happy, sister?"

Quan Jinbei, "..."

Shi Yaoguang, "..."

For a moment, they were at a loss for a rebuttal.

The little guy continued, "Also, I don’t think I said anything wrong. Sister and brother-in-law..."

Shi Yaoguang, terrified he might utter some shocking words again, hastily interrupted him, "Alright, alright, stop talking now."

The little guy looked confused, "What can’t I say?"

Shi Yaoguang: "How have you been, spending your recent days with Uncle Zhan Miao?"

"I’ve been doing great! We even went on missions together..." The little guy didn’t realize the subject had been changed and obediently answered following Shi Yaoguang’s lead.

Shi Yaoguang chatted with him, and before long, the little guy started to feel sleepy.

Shi Yaoguang promptly asked the butler to take the little guy upstairs to rest.

After he left, Shi Yaoguang then faced Quan Jinbei’s deathly stare.

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She coughed, "Darling, would you be willing to hear me out?"

Quan Jinbei snorted lightly, "An explanation? What is there to explain?"

He reached out, gently pulling her into his embrace, his tone unfriendly, "Explain how you’re not blaming me for not satisfying you?"

When Shi Yaoguang heard him bring this up, her face turned slightly red, "No, that’s not what I meant."

"If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean?" Quan Jinbei asked in an unfriendly tone, "Or perhaps... you think there’s some truth to what he said?"

Shi Yaoguang repeatedly shook her head, "No no no, there’s no truth to what he said at all!"

"In this world, no one can compare to you; we’re a match made by the Heavenly Dao!"

With these words, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t actually lying.

Because...

According to the ending Heavenly Dao planned for them, they truly suited each other.

Both were meant to provide resources to the male and female leads, both destined for a miserable fate.

But now, they could be considered a powerful alliance.

In such a situation, naturally, no one could be a better match for them.

Quan Jinbei, facing Shi Yaoguang’s sincere gaze, curved his lips slightly, "It’s good that you know."

Shi Yaoguang nodded vigorously, "Third Master, you’re generous. Don’t take a child too seriously; he’s just young. When he grows up, he will understand."

Quan Jinbei’s expression softened, but his voice still carried a cold edge, "Zhan Miao’s camp seems to have too much idle time; they might as well be given some tasks."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang silently lit a candle in her heart for the people in Zhan Miao’s camp, and with her hands and feet, agreed with Quan Jinbei’s approach: "Whatever you decide to do, husband, I support you."

Quan Jinbei was quite pleased with her attitude.

The clearly arranged Baokang and his comrades, as a result of Quan Jinbei’s words: "..."

An unwarranted disaster could only be thus.

After pacifying Quan Jinbei, Shi Yaoguang went back to her work that was not yet finished.

Once she had collected all the materials, she joined Quan Jinbei on the third floor to cultivate.

Quan Jinbei’s body was severely depleted, and his previous cultivation progress had also been put on hold.

Shi Yaoguang had specially formulated some medicinal pills to nourish his body, but unfortunately, they were not very effective.

Fortunately, Quan Jinbei’s physical condition was up to par otherwise Shi Yaoguang would have been really worried about him being eliminated by the plot at any time.

...

Time flew, and three days passed.

In these three days, a major event occurred.

Shi Yiqing and Wei Lan had a fight.

It was quite the scene.

The cause was that Shi Yiqing was accepted by Wei Qingtian, and after boasting about it to Wei Lan, Wei Lan couldn’t control her emotions and ended up arguing with Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing also felt she was wronged.
