Although Li Qianfan only used half of his strength in that punch, it was still too much for Ma Hao to bear. His body flew out like a kite with its string cut, instantly knocked away.
After landing on the ground, all Ma Hao could feel was the world spinning. Just as he tried to speak, sweetness surged in his throat, and with a retch, he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood before fainting with his eyes rolling back.
Damn it!
This turn of events left the blond guy dumbfounded. He had dared to seek Li Qianfan out for a settling of accounts precisely because he had his cousin Ma Hao as a backer. However, the support he had painstakingly sought was regarded by Li Qianfan as nothing more than an ant, easily dealt with in a few punches and kicks.
With Ma Hao unconscious, his followers writhed in agony on the ground!
Now, the blond guy was left alone to face this blind man who seemed like a War God. His heart went cold, but he quickly shouted, “Run! This blind man is a devil!”
In the blink of an eye, the blond guy ran out of the house, leaving the unconscious Ma Hao and the others behind.
Luckily, a few of his subordinates were not knocked out. Seeing the blond guy take off, they immediately dragged the unconscious Ma Hao and their brothers to make a hasty retreat.
“Xiao Fan Fan, they are running, chase after them, beat them up!”
Liu Sisi was always looking for chaos, waving her arms as she yelled loudly.
“Xiao Fan, don’t chase them, let them go,” Meng Lin said, knowing that these people were subordinates of Brother Wolf from South Gate. She was worried that chasing them would only make things worse and pulled Li Qianfan back. She also gave Liu Sisi a harsh glare, signaling her to calm down.
“Sister-in-law, they smashed the door. They have to compensate for it,” Li Qianfan replied resolutely.
“Is the door what we should be worried about right now?” Meng Lin said helplessly, looking at Li Qianfan. She continued, “These men are from Brother Wolf’s gang at South Gate. You have just arrived in Taoyuan County and don’t know how formidable Brother Wolf is. He’s a big shot who calls the shots in South Gate. Offending him leads to no good end.
We need to figure out how to properly handle this situation!”
Liu Sisi, who had been excited about Li Qianfan’s victory over Ma Hao and his gang, also turned solemn upon hearing Meng Lin’s words.
Indeed, offending Brother Wolf in South Gate was a troubling matter.
“Sister-in-law, Sister Sisi, you don’t have to worry. Tomorrow, when we go back to the store, I’ll talk to the proprietress. She’s well-acquainted with Brother Wolf and can help me solve this,” Li Qianfan said confidently.
Meng Lin expressed her concern, “Can your proprietress really resolve this matter properly?”
Li Qianfan said, “She should be able to. I overheard the proprietress calling him once, saying that Brother Wolf used to hang out with her auntie. Also, when the police conducted a vice raid last time, it was the proprietress who asked Brother Wolf to help deal with it.
Right, Sister Sisi knows about this; I was serving her at the time, and not a single police officer took anyone away, which shows that the proprietress has quite some clout.”
Recalling the incident of the police raid, Meng Lin and Liu Sisi exchanged glances. They had both witnessed how easily Hong Jiumei had dealt with the vice raid by the police.
So Brother Wolf was actually the nephew of Hong Jiumei!
“I can’t believe your proprietress’s background is so terrifying. If she’s willing to help, there shouldn’t be any problem,” said Meng Lin, unable to help herself from making a remark. At the same time, the tension on her face started to ease.
“Whatever it is, Li Qianfan is her employee, and as the proprietress, she definitely won’t stand by idly. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem,” Liu Sisi reassured Meng Lin on the side.
Suddenly, Meng Lin’s expression turned serious. She stared intently at Li Qianfan and asked, “Xiao Fan, how come I never heard your brother mention that you knew martial arts?”
Before Li Qianfan had arrived, Meng Lin had specifically learned about Li Qianfan from Li Dalong, and was told that apart from his love for reading, Li Qianfan had no other skills. Yet now, not only could Li Qianfan perform massage therapy, but he also knew martial arts, single-handedly driving away seven or eight thugs armed with machetes.
“`
Even as a blind man, if he wasn’t blind, wouldn’t he be defying the heavens?
“Martial arts… uh, you might not believe this, but I never formally learned it. Just back in my college days, a brother of mine liked to practice martial arts, so I followed him to the dojo and learned a few moves. I didn’t expect them to be actually useful.” Li Qianfan didn’t know how else to explain, so he had to make something up. Where had he ever practiced martial arts?

He had simply turned the True Qi inside his body into an overwhelming force that easily defeated his enemies.
“Oh my god, could it be that Qianfan is the legendary martial arts prodigy?”
Liu Sisi said excitedly, “To casually learn a few moves and become a strong fighter, if he were to be guided by a famous teacher, wouldn’t he become a martial arts master who could dominate an entire region?”
“Don’t speak!”
Meng Lin immediately interrupted Liu Sisi’s fantasy and then looked at Li Qianfan with a serious gaze. She asked, “Qianfan, you are clearly blind, how did you manage to dodge so many machetes?”
“Ever since I became blind, my Perception and hearing have become extremely strong. Although I can’t see anything, I can sense what the people in front of me are doing. You could say that becoming blind has hardly affected my life.”
Li Qianfan wasn’t lying. If a normal person became blind, they would definitely be very unaccustomed, leading to a mental breakdown and depression. However, after he became blind, his Perception and hearing grew incredibly sharp and didn’t interfere with his life at all.
Previously, he couldn’t understand the reason!
Now, after he obtained the “Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill” and the “Divine Physician Manual” left by his father, he gradually understood everything. He had a father who was a cultivator, and his genes were very powerful.
“Yeah, I’ve also heard that the sight and Perception of blind people can be particularly strong,” Liu Sisi said thoughtfully, nodding at Meng Lin.
Next, Meng Lin didn’t say anything; she just stared straight at Li Qianfan, not knowing why, but she always felt that Li Qianfan was not quite normal, that the things he did didn’t seem like those of a blind person.
From the look in Meng Lin’s eyes, Li Qianfan realized that she had begun to harbor suspicions, but he didn’t dare explain too much. Since it was all lies to begin with, the more he explained, the more contradictions would arise.
Looking at Li Qianfan’s calm demeanor, Meng Lin suddenly had another illusion. Maybe it was because Li Qianfan had brought her such a huge shock today that she was overthinking, right?
Perhaps Liu Sisi was right, and Li Qianfan really was a martial arts prodigy?
After all, in today’s society there is no shortage of martial artists, even in a small place like Taoyuan County with many dojos, and each medical clinic has several martial arts masters capable of fighting ten at a time!
“Let’s clean up and rest soon.”
Meng Lin stopped overthinking and began to pick up the machetes on the ground.
Liu Sisi also didn’t idle around and helped Meng Lin tidy up.
Meanwhile, Li Qianfan went to check the anti-theft door. As expected, the door had been kicked in and could only be repaired by Master Zhao tomorrow. Fortunately, besides the anti-theft door, there was an iron gate outside, which wasn’t very sturdy, but it could suffice for one night.
After finishing up, Li Qianfan felt a wave of tiredness wash over him. It must have been because he used too much True Qi in the fight earlier. He yawned and said, “Sister-in-law, Sister Sisi, I’m going to sleep now.”
“Rest well,” Meng Lin told Li Qianfan.
Once Li Qianfan returned to his room, Meng Lin let out a soft sigh. She had thought tonight her dream could come true, but it was ruined by a bunch of thugs, and her disappointment was written all over her face.
“Lin Lin, I think, just now Xiao Fan already knew about the mid-fight substitution,” Liu Sisi said to Meng Lin with a serious face.
