Top-tier Unruly Master

Two women and a man staying in one room?

Hu Jin's brows furrowed as she looked at Ding Fan. This Ding Fan was really too bold and reckless; he did not even bother to hide to such an extent.

"Ding Fan, three people cram into one room? You really think quite highly of yourself," Hu Jin said somewhat angrily.

Ding Fan glanced at Hu Jin. "If you're not willing, you're more than welcome to have a room to yourself."

Ding Fan wanted Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi to stay with him in one room only because he was worried that the two martial artists might harm them. If they didn't trust him, then there was no need for him to waste more words on them.

"You..." Hu Jin indeed did not expect Ding Fan to have such an attitude.

"Hu Jin, I trust Brother Fan. He must have his reasons. Let's just take one room for the three of us," Lin Yanxi gently tugged at Hu Jin from the side.

Lin Yanxi had spent some time with Ding Fan, especially recently, as Ding Fan would come to her room every night to give her massages. If Ding Fan had had any ulterior motives towards her, he likely wouldn't have waited until today.

Lin Yanxi believed that Ding Fan must have his reasons for wanting the three of them to stay in one room.

"Hmph, I will not share a room with him. Who knows what he's plotting. Even if something serious happens today, I will not stay in the same room as him," Hu Jin said somewhat petulantly, then ignored Ding Fan standing beside her.

"Waiter, I need a room."

After the waiter gave Hu Jin a room key, she turned and left, looking somewhat vexed.

Lin Yanxi looked at Ding Fan. "Brother Fan, I'm a little worried about Hu Jin sleeping alone. I'll go and keep her company."

In fact, even if Lin Yanxi hadn't mentioned it, Ding Fan had already been considering doing that. With Hu Jin gone, if he and Lin Yanxi were to share a room, it wouldn't look good for Lin Yanxi.

"That would be best..." Ding Fan did not say much at that moment.

Managing to get Lin Yanxi and Hu Jin into the same room as him would make it much easier for him to protect them in case anything happened. After all, Ding Fan was still unsure whether those two Ancient Martial Warriors had other helpers.

Now that the two women were in a room together, Ding Fan could only stay next to them. If something happened, he'd have to make sure he got there earlier.

The inn inside the mountain villa was quite nicely decorated. After traveling for a good half of the day and having had a wonderful meal earlier, Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi chatted in their room for a while before falling asleep.

Ding Fan, on the other hand, could not sleep. He remained alert to his surroundings.

Ever since they had entered the inn, those two Ancient Martial Warriors had been following them. After they secured their rooms, the two martial artists booked two rooms.

One of these rooms was very close to Ding Fan's, and the other was closer to where Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi were staying.

Judging from the rooms chosen by those warriors, it was clear they were targeting them, but since it was still not dark yet, the two warriors had not taken any action.

The sky in the mountains turned dark earlier than outside, and around five o'clock, it was completely night.

Shortly after darkness fell, four more people arrived outside. Ding Fan had been keeping an eye on the situation, and these new arrivals were also martial artists. After entering the inn, they split into two groups. One group entered the room near where Lin Yanxi and her companion were staying, and the other group entered the room close to Ding Fan's.

The four who came later were not particularly high in cultivation, almost all of them around Human-level Third or Fourth Grade. Now that Ding Fan had confirmed these people were targeting him, he did not want to wait any longer. Since a fight was inevitable sooner or later, he might as well take the initiative and strike first.

Ding Fan immediately pushed open the door of his room.

However, just as Ding Fan was about to make his move, there was a noisy commotion of footsteps downstairs.

In a short while, at the second-floor stairway, Ding Fan saw the Tattooed Man he had knocked over earlier. Beside him were no fewer than twenty ruffians.

"Bro, this *** acted all high and mighty with me this afternoon. You have to help me get even!" The Tattooed Man said, pointing at Ding Fan as he spoke.

Ding Fan did not expect the Tattooed Man would actually dare to bring people.

The man called "bro" by the Tattooed Man was a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt, who looked Ding Fan up and down. "Kid, do you know whose turf this resort village is? You dare to make trouble here; you must be tired of living," the middle-aged man assessed Ding Fan.

Squeak...

Before Ding Fan could reply, the door to the adjacent room opened, and a pretty woman emerged from inside.

The young lady came out, seemingly ignoring the ruffians beside her as she walked straight up to Ding Fan.

"Are you Ding Fan?"

Ding Fan looked at the young lady. Her cultivation seemed quite strong; she appeared to be about his age, but her cultivation was at Human-level Fourth Grade.

Ignoring the thugs, Ding Fan responded directly, "I am."

"Qian Jun. Hearing this name, you should know why I've come," the young lady said, her eyes casting a chilling glare.

Qian Jun?

He was Song Guotao's master, who lost the medical competition to me at Zongfang Hall and had his arm chopped off by me when he came looking for a reckoning. So, these people must have come to take revenge for Qian Jun.

"Fuck! What the hell are you two idiots doing? Do you even realize my big brother is here?" The Tattooed Man felt a burst of anger seeing that Ding Fan and the young woman had completely ignored them.

With such a large group of thugs here, anyone else would have been scared silly by now. Yet Ding Fan and the young lady seemed oblivious, practically insulting them with their indifference.

"Get lost!" The young woman didn't even glance at the Tattooed Man, her tone icy and filled with murderous intent.

"Heh heh… The beauties these days are really quite spicy. Alright then, big brother will play with you…" The middle-aged man next to him rubbed his chin, his eyes sweeping lustfully across the young lady's chest.

The young lady's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a swift movement so rapid that everyone except Ding Fan barely caught a blur before them.

Before the middle-aged man and his men could grasp what was happening, the clash of their falls rang out. In the blink of an eye, several of them were flipped over.

"What the fuck! What just happened?!"

The Tattooed Man rubbed his eyes, struggling to believe the scene before him.

The young lady looked pure enough to be a high school student, but when she made her move, she was ruthlessly efficient. The thugs she took down were usually tough characters, but now they had been easily handled by a girl in an instant.

"Motherfucker!" The middle-aged man's expression darkened.

He had brought quite a few people with him today. If so many couldn't handle a young girl, he would lose all credibility in the underworld.

"Teach them a bloody lesson for me. Kill them, and I'll take the blame."

The thugs that came with the middle-aged man got pumped up at their boss's command. Some who were quicker even lunged towards the young lady.

Ding Fan, witnessing this, felt a wave of pity for the thugs. This young lady, though she looked cute, was a Human-level Fourth Grade powerhouse. Even if all these thugs combined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance against her.

Ignorance is truly bliss!

Seeing the thugs not backing down but instead rushing at her, the young woman's expression turned solemn. With a flick of her right hand, a Short Blade appeared as if from nowhere.

"Ignorant fools." Her voice was cold.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

With her Short Blade spinning, it only took three slashes. Three men's arms were laid on the ground.

A single slash to sever an arm from each person!

If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could believe a girl could be so ruthless?

"If you continue to pester me, I won't mind taking your heads," the girl said icily to the middle-aged man.

Even the gang leader, the middle-aged man, didn't dare to make a move. He had been in the underworld for many years but never had he seen anyone as heartless and cruel as this young girl.

"Let's go..."

After a moment of contemplation, the middle-aged man took off without any further words.

The ferocity of the young lady in severing the arms of three men convinced the middle-aged man that staying would only bring him humiliation.

Seeing the once-fierce gang being frightened off by the young lady, Ding Fan was reminded of a saying.

It takes a villain to grind down another villain.

Clang...

Just then, a sound of shattering glass came from the room where Lin Yanxi and Hu Jin were.

Ding Fan furrowed his brows and swept over the room with his Divine Sense. It turned out that two people had burst into Lin Yanxi's room. After a brief struggle, Lin Yanxi and Hu Jin were subdued.

"I was the one who chopped off Qian Jun's arm; it has nothing to do with those two women. Let them go," Ding Fan said.

The young lady snorted lightly. "Taking hostages to threaten others is not something we do. They have their own issues to resolve, so you better take care of yourself first... Right now, you're in no position to dictate terms."

"What are you going to do?" Ding Fan asked flatly.

"Come with us, and don't try anything funny!" The young lady said coldly.
