Chapter 760: Chapter 760

Ding Fan and Qin Manshu finished breakfast and went straight home.

The elder Qin couple was still there, and as juniors, both Ding Fan and Qin Manshu always needed to take care of the older generation.

However, when Qin Manshu and Ding Fan returned home, Zhang Liang had already arrived.

At that moment, in the living room besides Zhang Liang, there was also the elder couple of the Qin family.

Speaking of which, Ding Fan had been constantly at odds with Zhang Liang ever since they met—first at Elder Zhang Guanglin's birthday party, and then later on Sifang Street, where Ding Fan taught Zhang Liang's subordinates a lesson.

It was precisely because of these unpleasant encounters that Zhang Liang thought of hiring assassins.

Yet this spoiled brat really didn't use his head—wanting to kill Ding Fan, he actually went to the Red Spider to buy murder. If not for Ding Fan estimating that Zhang Guanglin and Zhang Wanyue wouldn't, then Red Spider would have already completely wiped out the Zhang family.

"Young Master Ding, you went out so early with Miss Qin?"

Upon seeing Ding Fan return, Zhang Liang hurriedly squeezed out a smile. His expression was genuinely as if he had seen his own kin.

Ding Fan couldn't help but admire Zhang Liang's acting skills at that moment—clearly seeking someone to kill him, yet now pretending to be so close.

Ding Fan simply nodded his head as a greeting.

And Qin Manshu, after greeting the two grandfathers, went straight back to her room.

Regardless of how you put it, Qin Manshu had spent last night outside with Ding Fan, and if delved into, it was always not good.

Old Master Qin watched Qin Manshu return to her room somewhat flustered and cast a meaningful glance at Ding Fan, with a smile piling up on his face.

Old Master Qin had always thought highly of Ding Fan—so young, yet so strong in his cultivation. Back in the day, how formidable the Ye Family's ancestor was, and yet, such a person was directly slain by Ding Fan.

At that time, the Ye Family, at its peak, also fell from the heights due to this.

Besides, the Huaxia Group, which was split off from Qin's Group, has been run by Ding Fan so prosperously in recent times that it is even listed in both The Stars and Stripes Country and Huaxia Country.

Moreover, in the political scene, Ding Fan is now the instructor major for groups three, five, six, and seven...

From any perspective, Ding Fan is the most satisfactory grandson-in-law for Old Master Qin.

Now, Old Master Qin couldn't wait for Ding Fan and Qin Manshu to achieve a positive outcome.

"Young Master Ding, this time I've come to invite the two grandfathers of the Qin family, as well as you and Manshu, to go out and have a walk. I have a friend who is responsible for a cruise to Macau, and I've already booked VIP tickets. Shall we set off in a week?"

A cruise to Macau in a week?

Ding Fan remembered at that moment that Old Crooked had mentioned yesterday that in a week, the people of Thirteen Gates would be meeting on a cruise, right?

"I have no problem with that," Ding Fan nodded.

Even if Zhang Liang didn't invite him, Ding Fan would still go. The methods of the Thirteen Gates were extremely cruel, and Ding Fan had no intention of letting go of such Evil Cultivators.

Furthermore, since Zhang Liang had already resolved to deal with him, perhaps this trip to Macau might be his careful scheme.

If that was the case, rather than waiting, Ding Fan might as well let him proceed with his plan—then, when the time came, he could kill him leaving him speechless...

"Ding Fan, your second grandfather and I can't withstand the commotion anymore. We won't accompany you. Besides, I need to go back to the ancestral land with your second grandfather to pay tribute to the ancestors. This time, you and Manshu go," Old Master Qin said from the side.

It was also good that Old Master Qin wouldn't be going. After all, his body was indeed old and couldn't withstand such turmoil.

"In that case, I'll go back and prepare," said Zhang Liang as he stood up at that moment.

"Alright... see you in a week," Ding Fan replied.

Zhang Liang was secretly pleased when Ding Fan agreed so readily—he was quite proud of his own clever idea.

On the way to Macau, the cruise ship would inevitably pass through international waters. There, finding someone to kill Ding Fan would surely be done without anyone being the wiser...

Zhang Liang had originally thought of bringing the Qin family's elders too, so he could take out those two old fools along the way—eliminating Zhang Wanyue's helpers...

After killing the Qin family's elders, Zhang Liang wouldn't fear the Zhang family's retaliation. At that time, he would simply blame it on Ding Fan.

Once he finished off Ding Fan, all incidents would be unrelated to himself...

However, now that the Qin family's elders were not going, it didn't matter. Just killing Ding Fan would suffice.

With that, Zhang Liang muttered a few more inconsequential things before leaving the living room.

After seeing off Zhang Liang, Ding Fan planned to return to his own room and continue his meditation and cultivation.

But before Ding Fan could make it back to his room, Old Master Qin called out to him.

"Ding Fan, there are some things I need to discuss with you."

Old Master Qin's expression at the moment was very solemn—a look that Ding Fan hardly ever saw.

"Old Master Qin, feel free to speak your mind," Ding Fan said.

No matter what, the Qin family's support had been huge for Ding Fan. To help him establish a foothold, the Qin family even separated the Dancheng Branch Company from Qin's Group and gifted it to him outright.

Bearing that kindness in mind, Ding Fan would definitely not sit idly by if the Qin family needed help.

"Ding Fan, I really cherish my granddaughter. There's no need for us men to beat around the bush—just give me a straight answer, when will you and Manshu make it official?" Old Master Qin said while staring straight at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was actually taken aback, for he had not expected Old Master Qin to come and press for marriage.

If Old Master Qin had pressed someone else into marriage, they would have been overjoyed by now.

But Ding Fan was different. Firstly, he still had to cultivate, and secondly, the emotional debts after his rebirth indeed gave him a headache.

"Grandpa..." At this moment, Qin Manshu had already walked out of her room. "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about Ding Fan and me... You don't have to make it seem like you're forcing a marriage here."

"You little girl, don't you realize I'm doing this for your sake?" Old Master Qin was actually on the verge of losing his temper at this point.

"Brother Fan and I are no longer children; we naturally have a sense of propriety in our affair," Qin Manshu said.

Ding Fan glanced at Qin Manshu. He knew all too well that by saying this, she clearly wanted to help him out of a difficult situation.

"Old Master Qin... Second Grandpa... Manshu..." Ding Fan now stood up, his expression solemn.

As Ding Fan stood up, the living room fell silent.

Old Master Qin wished nothing more than for Ding Fan to become a member of the Qin family right away and to enter the bridal chamber with Qin Manshu tonight.

As for the second elder of the Qin family, he was the one Ding Fan had saved from Haijiao Forest, so he was well aware of Ding Fan's abilities. If someone like Ding Fan became the Qin family's son-in-law, the family was certain to enjoy unlimited glory. At least for a certain period, it would still retain its place among the Four Great Families.

As for Qin Manshu, being able to be with someone like Ding Fan was simply her dream come true.

Ding Fan stood up, bowed respectfully to the two elders of the Qin family, and then said.

"Manshu is my girlfriend... now and in the future. I'm well aware of what Old Master Qin wants me to promise, and I can only say that the time is not right yet. But one thing I can assure you of is that I will treat Manshu well for the rest of my life, through life and death, through wealth and poverty, I will take care of her..."

At this moment, Qin Manshu's eyes brimmed with tears. Ding Fan was not good at speaking sweet nothings, but his words were simple yet sincere.

Qin Manshu believed in Ding Fan, not for any other reason, but because of this promise, being by his side for a lifetime was enough for her.

"Brother Fan, I believe you. I will be by your side for the rest of my life..." Tears welled in Qin Manshu's eyes, but she spoke with a smile on her face. The most update n0vels are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

With matters having reached this point, what more could Old Master Qin say? After the two elders of the Qin family exchanged looks, they decided not to stay and be the third wheel anymore.

The two embraced each other deeply at this time. No words were necessary now; they both understood each other's intentions and were willing to give their all for the other...

All words seemed to turn into the embrace they shared at this moment...

"Manshu, I've told you before that I am a cultivator. The path I seek is of immortality. If you really want to be together forever, you must also cultivate diligently."

After a while, Ding Fan and Qin Manshu finally released each other.

Having been by Ding Fan's side and witnessed so many incredible events, she had already understood the world he spoke of...

"Brother Fan, I will learn well."

Because Ding Fan and Qin Manshu saw each other only occasionally, such opportunities were rare, so Ding Fan decided to teach her the introductory chants for cultivation first.

Thereupon, Ding Fan took Qin Manshu back to his room, whereupon he taught her the methods of cultivation.

Having been a person in two lifetimes, Ding Fan's experience in cultivation was extremely rich, and Qin Manshu was also very sharp. One taught well, and the other learned quickly; the two stayed in the room day and night, studying cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Fan and Qin Manshu had been locked in the room for six or seven days, and during this time, they rarely came out.

Even for meals, they were hurriedly fetched by Qin Manshu, who would rush back into the room afterward.

Old Master Qin had already recognized the relationship between Ding Fan and Qin Manshu and was even hoping for some real progress between them.

So, the two being locked in a room together for six or seven days, he didn't disturb them.

During these six or seven days, Qin Manshu's progress in cultivation was incredibly rapid.

With the guidance of Ding Fan's True Qi, her careful recitation of the Chant, and the assistance of third-grade Foundation Building Pills...

Within a mere seven days, Qin Manshu had reached the second level of Qi Cultivation.

One should know that even after Ding Fan was reborn, it took him considerable effort to advance to the second level of Qi Cultivation.

The reason for Qin Manshu's rapid cultivation, apart from Ding Fan's assistance, was also due to her own intelligence.

The woman who could manage a large company, how could she be simple?

It was on the evening of the sixth day of cultivation that Zhang Liang called Ding Fan.

Zhang Liang's purpose in calling was to notify them to travel to Macau the next day and to ask them to prepare in advance.

By now, Qin Manshu's progress in cultivation was already rapid, and Ding Fan did not want to rush things. What she needed now was time to assimilate what she had learned.

Moreover, they would be traveling the next day, and indeed they needed to prepare properly.

Just as Qin Manshu went to pack things for the trip, Mei Li, who rarely showed herself, once again sought out Ding Fan.

"Did Zhang Liang make another move?" As soon as Mei Li arrived, Ding Fan had guessed the purpose of her visit.

Mei Li nodded. "Zhang Liang called Brother Zhunxing. He plans to make a move on the high seas and wants to deal with you there."

Ding Fan nodded. "Okay, I understand..."
