“What’s wrong with Little Seven?!”
The purple-clothed woman suddenly clutched her abdomen, her pretty face contorting into a bun.
The green-clothed woman was startled and quickly supported Little Seven's arm.
“Fifth Sister, I'm fine, it's just my magic went awry!”
“This Little Seven, when will she ever be steady!
It takes the same person to undo a knot. Luckily it’s just a bad luck curse.”
The red-clothed woman stomped her foot in anxiousness, her figure instantly vanishing.
“Afan, what’s wrong with you today?”
Dazhuang looked at Chen Fan with suspicion. The Chen Fan he knew wasn't exactly a good guy.
But at most he just liked to have some fun and watch.
He was usually pretty upright.
Otherwise, Chen Fan wouldn't have been able to integrate into the village so quickly.
Chen Fan looked at the still clueless Dazhuang and sighed, shaking his head.
“Dazhuang, you’ve been following your big brother for a while now, how come you haven't grown a bit wiser!
Think about it, if you were walking on the road and were stopped by One-Eyed Wolf leading four thugs, what would you do?”
“Naturally, I would fight them!”
Dazhuang stood up, his neck stiff, and shouted.
Chen Fan covered his face with his hand, speechless at Dazhuang's intelligence, and continued to remind him.
“Yes, yes, you can fight them.
But I just ask, before fighting, would you be scared?”
Dazhuang tilted his head back, with a valiant look, about to answer.
“Tell the truth, or I won't take you to the county next time!”
Hearing Chen Fan's threat, Dazhuang's facial muscles twitched.
Finally gritting his teeth, he didn't continue to put on a brave face, and mumbled in a low voice.
“Well, they’re outnumbered, it’s natural to be a bit scared!”
Slap!
Chen Fan clapped his hands together and chuckled.
“That’s right, you, a big and strong man, know that One-Eyed Wolf is not someone to mess with.
But those two beauties, faced with five hooligans, didn't show the slightest fear.
What does that tell you?”
“That means those two ladies are strong-willed despite their disabilities!”
Dazhuang's eyes showed admiration, and he said firmly.
Chen Fan's mouth twitched, he jumped up and slapped Dazhuang on the back of the head, gritting his teeth.
“You idiot, it means they have the confidence, they’re not afraid of those trashy One-Eyed Wolf and his goons.
Also, is that how you use ‘strong-willed despite their disabilities’? That’s called a strong spirit!
Most importantly, don’t you think One-Eyed Wolf and his bunch are strange?”
Dazhuang scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion.
A flash of red light passed behind Chen Fan.
“What’s so strange?”
“Ha, what’s so strange, you really have no brain!
One-Eyed Wolf can be a bigwig in Qing Stone Town, not just because of his cruel methods.
Thugs who can survive for a long time will never lack street smarts.”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows, suddenly a sense of unease crept into his heart.
But seeing Dazhuang's expectant gaze, his mouth twitched, and said.
“Take a closer look at the clothes those two women are wearing.
The gloss of that dye, even the masters in the county wouldn’t be able to afford it.
These two ladies definitely come from distinguished families, how could a small gang even dare to provoke them.
What's more, this is the official road outside Qing Stone Town, even at noon there are quite a few people coming and going.
One-Eyed Wolf must be crazy to intercept two ladies from a prominent family here.”
“Oh~ so One-Eyed Wolf is crazy!”
Dazhuang suddenly realized, Chen Fan was so angry that he almost kicked this guy to death.
After all this time, you haven’t understood a word!
“You mean someone is plotting against my Fifth Sister and Seventh Sister?”
“Correct, you got it right.”
Chen Fan nodded his head, and instantly froze in place.
In this teahouse, besides the tea stall owner.
There’s only Dong Xiucai, and him and Dazhuang, that’s all.
Where did this sudden, domineering voice come from?
Chen Fan and Dazhuang turned their heads at the same time.
They saw a woman in red, wearing a tight-fitting outfit, with a graceful and dashing appearance.
She was sitting behind them, holding her chin in her hand, watching Chen Fan with amusement.
The woman’s exquisite beauty was in no way inferior to the two beauties outside the tea stall.
Chen Fan also noticed a long sword placed beside the woman.
Although the sword was not unsheathed, its sharpness was already apparent.
She’s a master!
Don’t ask Chen Fan, who is helpless, why he knew she was a master.
Of course, being able to sneak up behind two people.
For two ordinary people who don't even know martial arts, if she's not a master, what else could she be.
Most importantly, this woman is beautiful!
Chen Fan did not hide his admiration and praise in his eyes.
“May I ask the lady's name?”
Chen Fan's eyes rolled, and he asked the woman in red with a bow.
The woman in red lightly clapped her hand, and the long sword instantly fell into her hand.
Her beautiful eyes revealed wisdom and intelligence, and she bowed to Chen Fan.
“My surname is Zhang, sir can just call me ‘Lady Zhang’.”
Although the Tang dynasty was open-minded, women's given names would not be easily revealed.
And ‘Lady’, was the term used in the Tang dynasty for unmarried
Zhang?
Chen Fan blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment.
In this era, the most prominent Zhang family is the Qinghe Zhang clan.
Li Shimin ordered people to draw up a genealogy of all the clans in the world.
Among them, Qinghe Zhang was listed as the first of the ten surnames, ‘the pillars of the nation’.
Although there were reasons for Li Shimin to suppress the five great families and seven prominent lineages.
To suppress the top-ranked five great families and seven prominent lineages.
But Qinghe Zhang clan, below the five great families and seven prominent lineages, is still a top-tier, powerful clan.
