Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Fan Dongqing_1

Standing to one side, watching Wu Qiyi calmly deal with the crowd surrounding her, you couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh in your heart.

Actually, you knew better than anyone that the so-called Er Ya was, after all, just the girl who liked to play pranks on you in your memory; she only existed in memories of the past, while now, you were facing the Young Master of the Mysterious Organization who could effortlessly resolve the troubles of an entire village, or even several villages, with just a wave of her hand.

In the TV dramas you used to watch, what often hindered the love between the male and female protagonists was mostly family background and wealth, but the distance between you and Wu Qiyi was even farther.

All your life, you lived modestly, never indulging in excessive fantasies, simply wanting to live the ordinary life you desired; even now, your continual efforts to become stronger were solely to find Zhao’er and give her a warm embrace, so she would never be bullied by anyone again.

At that moment, Wu Qiyi seemed to feel your gaze, she slightly turned her body and smiled sweetly at you.

You responded to her smile with a nod, your face brimming with a pure, untainted smile.

That evening, you and your group accepted the villagers’ warm hospitality.

You had thought that the few of you would need to camp outside the village, but to your surprise, the village head, Yin Guihua’s father, Yin Song, had already prepared rooms.

The eight of you arrived, and Yin Song had prepared three rooms: Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu, as honored guests, naturally stayed in Yin Guihua’s house; Yang Kai and Wei Shuxian moved into the house next door, which was her brother-in-law’s home; as for you and Xiao Feng, you had been invited home by Fan Yi’s brother.

In Tianji Village, Fan Yi’s home had relatively good conditions. You and Xiao Feng were arranged to stay on the second floor, next to Fan Yi’s parents’ room.

Once everything had quieted down, you and Xiao Feng lay on a bed just like you did when you were kids, each propping your heads with your hands, idly chatting now and then.

"Little Yunyun, I’ve noticed you seemed a bit down today. If something’s troubling you, talk about it; Brother will help you figure it out."

"It’s nothing, just feeling a bit uncomfortable."

"Talk about it."

"Actually... um, let me ask you, do you think Zhao’er and Fan Yi look alike?"

"Zhao’er and Fan Yi?" Xiao Feng was suddenly taken aback. He thought for a moment, then abruptly turned over and said to you, "Hey, man, now that you mention it, they really do!"

Although Xiao Feng had only met Zhao’er briefly, his impression of her was extremely vivid; Fan Yi, on the other hand, was different. Her large, black-framed Glasses covered most of her perfect face shape, and she often walked with her head half-lowered, dressed like a village girl, not drawing much attention from most people.

But when Xiao Feng took a moment to quietly compare Fan Yi and Zhao’er in detail, he reached a surprising conclusion: "Brother, could Zhao’er be the long-lost sister of Fan Yi?"

"Impossible."

You dismissed the possibility immediately.

Currently, only you and your mother knew the truth about Zhao’er’s origin; on this matter, you had no intention of telling anyone else, not even your best friend whom you would trust with your life.

Xiao Feng looked at you intently, then suddenly said, "You’re not planning to use Fan Yi as a substitute because you can’t find Zhao’er, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Well, you’re not." Xiao Feng scratched his head and shrugged, "There are plenty of people who look alike in this world; you don’t need to worry about it so much. Think about it, Zhang Guoli and Cheng Long are not real brothers, but I can hardly tell the difference between Zhang Mo and Fang Zumeng."

Seeing your continued silence, Xiao Feng patted your shoulder firmly: "Stop thinking about it, or you’ll turn your hair white! Let’s get some sleep, we have to go inspect the site early tomorrow."

"Yeah."

You nodded and closed your eyes.

The sky had just begun to brighten, and you were already up.

The mornings in the mountains were much colder than in the city, but your body, having been transformed by the Star Stealing Life-changing Talisman, had a strong resistance to both cold and heat.

Early in the morning, you began moving around in the cement courtyard in front of Fan Yi’s house, wearing a simple T-shirt.

Because it was too dark last night, you didn’t get a good look at Fan Yi’s house, but now you could see that it was a three-room, two-story building.

In front of the building was a small open space, where you were standing. To your left was a sheep pen housing six mountain goats and a small enclosed space with several chickens; on your right was a shed filled with farm tools and a motorcycle.

This was an ordinary farmhouse.

The surroundings didn’t allow for morning runs, so you simply started doing push-ups against the wall.

First, you did two sets with both palms, fifty reps each; then with your fists, also doing fifty reps on the cold, hard cement ground; finally, with your right thumb, you did sixty in one go, right there on the spot.

Feeling that you had sufficiently expended your energy, you slowly got to your feet.

It was only after standing up that you noticed Fan Dongqing, Fan Yi’s brother, was already standing at the door, holding a toothbrush and cup.

You smiled at him slightly, and he returned the gesture with a hearty laugh, saying, "I never expected a university student like you to have such good skills."

Fan Dongqing was also lightly dressed, wearing an army green tank top underneath and casually draped in a camouflage jacket.

"Brother Dongqing, were you a soldier before?"

While brushing his teeth, Fan Dongqing nodded and spat out a mouthful of white foam, saying with a smile, "I served in the army for a few years, but after sustaining some injuries, I came back."

Fan Dongqing quickly finished cleaning up and came out from the house, standing beside you and stretching his legs and feet, he laughed, "It looked like you had some training while I was watching you earlier?"

"Yes, I was trained by a few instructors during military training."

"They weren’t ordinary people, were they?" Seeing you nod, Fan Dongqing continued, "How about it, want to spar a bit?"

"Sure."

Having nothing else to do and wanting to know whether you had regressed recently, you took up a stance on the cement ground, facing off against Fan Dongqing.

"You are the guest, you go first."

Fan Dongqing seemed quite confident in his own abilities.

You laughed and said, "Then be careful."

No sooner had the words fallen than you suddenly lunged forward with a step, swiftly grasping at Fan Dongqing’s right hand with your left!

Because of your lightning speed, Fan Dongqing was caught off guard, and you snatched his right hand; in the instant you grabbed his arm, you pressed your back against him and your right hand under his armpit, performing a shoulder throw!

While Fan Dongqing was still in mid-air, you suddenly felt his body become very heavy. Fan Dongqing, who was about to be thrown, suddenly plummeted down. After his feet touched the ground, he took advantage of your unbalanced state and wrapped his arms around your waist, tossing you through the air!
