The Magnificent Son-in-law

Seeing Fujiwara Keiaki seemingly planning to replace all answers with silence, the little girl immediately lost her patience and said, "What's going on? Give me an answer!"

Fujiwara Keiaki sighed and began recounting his experiences after leaving the house...

According to Fujiwara Keiaki, the initial tracking went relatively smoothly, and it didn't take long to pinpoint Zhen Jinghan's whereabouts.

However, he didn't realize that an encounter, which could only be described as nightmarish, was about to unfold...

First, while passing through an intersection, an electric tricycle suddenly dashed out and ran over Fujiwara Keiaki's foot.

The driver, realizing something was amiss, didn't even dare to stop and disappeared in a flash.

Fujiwara Keiaki could only curse the other party's lack of manners silently and continued tailing Zhen Jinghan.

Not long after, a window of a street-side residence opened, and water was suddenly splashed all over him.

"Bang!"

The window shut immediately, and throughout, Fujiwara Keiaki never saw who splashed him with water, whether it was a man or a woman, young or old.

He also couldn't figure out if the water on him was foot wash, flower water, or vegetable wash.

At this moment, Fujiwara Keiaki was already somewhat angry, but to avoid losing track of the person he was tailing, he could only hold back his anger and continue following Zhen Jinghan.

After following for about two minutes, Zhen Jinghan stopped at a grilled gluten stand by the roadside.

Fujiwara Keiaki naturally hurried closer, wanting to hear the conversation between Zhen Jinghan and the vendor.

But after just a couple of steps, a bag of flour fell from a delivery vehicle and coincidentally landed on his foot, leaving flour marks on his face for this very reason.

Because of this accident, Fujiwara Keiaki was completely unaware of what Zhen Jinghan discussed with the vendor; he only saw the other party taking a few skewers of gluten, eating while walking as if aimlessly wandering.

Turning a corner, Zhen Jinghan stopped in front of a clay figurine stand.

This time, Fujiwara Keiaki didn't rush to get close. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings and listened to ensure that no cars would pass in front of him and no one would suddenly open a window to splash water. Only then did he approach.

However, against all calculations, a large cabbage suddenly fell from the sky and directly hit Fujiwara Keiaki on the head.

The cabbage fell from a third-floor balcony, likely intended for feeding rabbits, which was also the source of the vegetable fragments in his hair.

Undoubtedly, Fujiwara Keiaki once again didn't hear the conversation between Zhen Jinghan and the clay figurine vendor.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng and others were speechless. If it was a coincidence, then it was way too coincidental!

But that wasn't the end. Fujiwara Keiaki went on to list a few more of his unlucky incidents, like suddenly having a flower pot fall while walking or encountering an enthusiastic vendor trying to sell him products.

And all these incidents happened just as he was trying to get close to Zhen Jinghan.

"Was there anything unusual about those who caused the accidents?" Xiao Feng asked.

"No abnormalities." Fujiwara Keiaki shook his head and denied, "When the flower pot fell, I specifically paid attention, and there was no one on the balcony, no animals, and no fish lines tied around the pot."

"So, it's really just a coincidence, not orchestrated?" Xiao Feng asked blankly.

To be honest, he didn't even believe this question himself. How could coincidences be this coincidental? Even dog-blooded romance drama writers wouldn't dare to write like this, right?

Fujiwara Keiaki bitterly smiled, "Although it seems incredible, I haven't found any traces of human manipulation."

"Then, in the end, did you just come back like that?" the little girl pursued.

"Of course not." Fujiwara Keiaki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhen Jinghan settled down in the town, and the place she stayed at is the Yuechen Inn where we dined on our first day in Jiuyou Town."

Everyone suddenly felt at a loss for words, wanting to suspect Fujiwara Keiaki of fabricating a story, but thinking about it, it seemed unlikely, as making it up wouldn't benefit him at all.

So, whether they wanted to believe it or not, what the other party said was probably the truth.

"Brother Yanhuang, could this be considered a sort of special ability?" Lu Yao pondered, "Hmm... just like your advice always develops in the opposite direction."

Xiao Feng turned dark-faced, "Can't you learn something good from Mu Shihan?"

"Brother Xiao Feng!" the little girl immediately protested, "Why should sister Lu Yao not learn from me?"

Fujiwara Keiaki chimed in at the right moment, "In any case, from what I see, aside from the series of coincidences I encountered that can't be explained, Zhen Jinghan doesn't seem to be deliberately approaching us. Her being here might indeed just be a coincidence."

Everyone nodded slowly, agreeing that his words made some sense.

After all, compared to the series of coincidences Fujiwara Keiaki encountered, Zhen Jinghan just so happened to come to their courtyard, which didn't seem worth making a fuss over.

...

In the evening, everyone started dinner early. Dinner was prepared by Sun Shijie and Zhao Guo'an together, incorporating many nourishing ingredients, ensuring both taste and restoration of strength.

The little girl quickly drank all the porridge in her bowl, slammed her chopsticks on the bowl, and said, "Brother Xiao Feng, let's go watch the acrobatics now."

Xiao Feng nodded, "It's still early now; after we finish eating, everyone can go together."

"Oh, then I'll have another bowl." The little girl took her bowl and ran to the kitchen to refill it.

Regarding the afternoon training, Lin Zhiyan and Lin Jiaxuan felt the most impacted.

Without actually practicing, they didn't realize just how vast the gap was between them and Xiao Feng.

Not to mention, just that set of warm-up exercises resembling a high school radio calisthenics, neither of them managed to complete it.

While Xiao Feng performed the entire set smoothly, without even appearing out of breath, demonstrating just how formidable his physical fitness was!

What's even more commendable, and the most crucial point is, this set of exercises was Xiao Feng's original creation; his understanding and creativity were simply irresistible!

After dinner, everyone went out, except for Sun Shijie, who didn't follow.

He was entirely focused on figuring out how to get Su Yuzhuo back on her feet as quickly as possible, not caring much about anything else.

Of course, as he himself said, this is not due to old ties with Iwakami Ryoji but because he's eager to confirm whether the treasure passed down by his ancestors is still safe.
