In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Huang Rong had already experienced Zhang Xiaoshan's external martial arts, but she didn't expect that even her father couldn't break through Zhang Xiaoshan's hard skills.

In her heart, her father has always been an invincible figure.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan had almost mastered the Jade Flute Sword Technique, so the folding fan in his hand suddenly changed from a chaotic, disorderly dance to a dynamic one.

Xiao Shi rides a dragon!

The folding fan suddenly opened, and in the instant it was swung open, the white sword light emanating from the edge of the fan emitted a 'hissing' sound.

In an instant, the sword light tore through the black curtain, breaking through the killing intent shrouded by the Jade Flute Sword Technique.

At the same time, a phoenix song was unfurled from a folding fan, instantly creating a dazzling array of fan shadows around the user, with sword energy surging and wandering among the myriad illusions.

Even Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but change color.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan not only stole his martial arts skills, but also found a new way to combine them with a folding fan, achieving such an incredible effect.

Even if this is the magic of the folding fan, it is still incredible.

"Oh!"

The sword energies clashed, forcing Huang Yaoshi to withdraw from the battle.

He's not like Zhang Xiaoshan, who's covered in bronze and iron and fearless of everything.

The sword's edge hidden in the folding fan, in particular, made him feel a chill run down his spine.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!"

"Humph!"

Huang Rong was also dumbfounded. Although Zhang Xiaoshan's two moves were extremely fast and he used a folding fan, they were still impressive.

But Huang Rong recognized it as her family's signature move—

Jade Flute Sword Technique!

Shameless! Bastard! Scumbag...

Every derogatory term that could be used was instantly applied to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"father!"

Huang Rong looked at Huang Yaoshi with excitement and joy. After all the suffering she had endured, she had finally found a patron.

Having just experienced despair, Huang Rong felt an even stronger sense of affection and longing for Huang Yaoshi.

"You little rascal, let's see if you dare to run around like this again."

This is your Uncle Zhang, a good friend of your father's from when he was young.

"Uncle Zhang!"

Huang Rong looked at Zhang Yuan, first greeting him politely, then turned to Huang Yaoshi and questioned him:

"Father, did you know I was here all along? Why didn't you save me? And why did you let Rong'er be bullied by this bastard?"

"It's because you're too willful, and we need to temper your temperament."

But little did I know that even my father had misjudged him…

"Hey, hey, hey... I'm innocent. It was really a misunderstanding."

"Little girl, think carefully before you frame me. Know that once your reputation is ruined, you'll have no choice but to marry me. And the consequences..."

Chapter Thirty-One: Reap What You Sow? Huang Rong Runs Away

"What? You don't want to take responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi glared angrily at Zhang Xiaoshan, his eyes widening in fury.

The scene just now was witnessed by more than just Zhang Yuan and Huang Yaoshi. Not to mention the several Shaolin masters in the shadows, there were quite a few servants around the courtyard alone.

Moreover, Huang Rong's subsequent performance further confirmed Zhang Xiaoshan's crimes.

"I have no objection. My sister is a beauty of unparalleled grace and beauty, as exquisite as a fairy in a painting. I am naturally willing!"

Zhang Xiaoshan then looked at Huang Rong with schadenfreude.

She shot herself in the foot; these days, a girl's reputation is no joke.

The little witch Huang Rong was also dumbfounded. She was just thinking about how to get revenge on the other party, but she never expected that she would end up getting herself involved.

"Father, it's all a misunderstanding. That bastard didn't bully me. I was just angry that he lied to me about the poison taking effect, that's why I said that."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

When I came in, I saw you looking disheveled, as if you were joking. But how could a young woman joke about her reputation?

Huang Yaoshi was stubborn at this point, and besides, he didn't think it was a joke, given how things had just happened.

Considering everything that has happened before, it's good to settle this matter.

"father!"

"Hmph, it's settled then."

I've been observing this lad for over half a month, and whether in martial arts or character, he's truly an outstanding individual, more than a match for you."

Huang Yaoshi made the decision directly, leaving Huang Rong no room to refuse.

Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers!

Even though Huang Yaoshi deviated from the norm, he remained persistent on this point.

"I won't marry him, you marry him if you want!"

"you···"

"Alright, alright, Brother Huang, Rong is not your puppet."

Let the two children spend some time together first. Once they develop feelings for each other, everything will fall into place naturally.

If the two children are truly not compatible, it's better than forcing them to be together. After all, one only makes one choice in their life, and it can't be taken lightly; otherwise, it will ruin the child's entire life.

Huang Yaoshi wanted to refute Zhang Yuan's words of comfort, but in the end he held back.

Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Zhang Xiaoshan with resentment.

However, she now fully understood that Huang Yaoshi had arrived earlier and had a close relationship with the Zhang family.

Thinking of the suffering and fear she had endured over the past month, only to find that it was all just a trick by the other party, Huang Rong gritted her teeth and felt extremely resentful.

"You wait!"

Huang Rong left in a huff, while Zhang Xiaoshan didn't seem to notice much.

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi also glared angrily at Zhang Xiaoshan. After calming down, he realized that there might be a misunderstanding.

But the daughter's reputation was ruined here.

Unless he kills everyone here.

"Shan'er, this time you must marry Rong'er. Although it was a misunderstanding, you have gone too far this time."

Zhang Yuan also had a serious expression and gave a direct, firm order.

He had just comforted the little girl because he knew that pushing her too hard would backfire.

Moreover, the little girl is willful and has no idea how important her reputation is.

This isn't about having a bad reputation in the martial arts world; it's about doing things my own way and not caring what others say. That's how Huang Yaoshi is.

This is a matter of a daughter's reputation; it cannot be taken lightly.

"I'll try my best!"

Zhang Yuan's tone prompted Zhang Xiaoshan to sigh.

It wasn't that he didn't want to marry Huang Rong; in fact, it would be a good thing, as everyone has a love for beauty.

But in this case, he is the one who is innocent.

Moreover, that young lady isn't so easy to win over. The more attentive you are, the more likely she is to dislike you. Ouyang Ke is a prime example.

But it's impossible for him to remain silent; otherwise, Zhang Yuan would definitely have a talk with him.

Even if it's just for show!

Thinking of the methods he used to coax girls in his past life, and combining them with his hobbies, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but get distracted.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaoshan went to the kitchen after finishing his morning lessons.

This was the most common way to pursue a girl in his previous life, and with martial arts skills at his disposal and simple steps, Zhang Xiaoshan succeeded on his first try.

Bubble tea! Egg tarts! Cream cake!

Carrying three items, Zhang Xiaoshan stepped into Huang Rong's room amidst the giggles of Hongxiao and the other women.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoshan made a lot of milk tea. Each of them held a fragrant bamboo tube and sucked on a fragrant bamboo tube with their red lips.

"Shibo!"

Huang Yaoshi was also there, so Zhang Xiaoshan didn't need to knock on the door.

Otherwise, knowing the little witch's personality, he would definitely make things difficult for her in every way, and she would most likely not open the door.

"What? Bringing breakfast to the little girl?"

"These are bubble tea, egg tarts, and jam cream cakes that my nephew made himself as an apology to Shimei."

Zhang Xiaoshan put the things down, and Huang Rong, who was angry at the bedside, was also attracted by what Zhang Xiaoshan had prepared.

She knew about jam cake, but bubble tea and cake?

Moreover, upon hearing the word "apology," Huang Rong glared angrily, reminding her of the month-long period of being exploited by Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Bubble tea? Pearl powder?"

"It's not pearl powder, it's a transparent bean-shaped substance made from kudzu root powder, I call it crystal beads."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Huang Rong also walked over curiously.

Looking at the fragrant bamboo tube, he stirred it in a huff.

The sago pearls tumbling in the milk immediately piqued Huang Rong's curiosity. With a habitual suck, a burst of milk tea, a mixture of jam, caramel, milk, and fragrant tea, exploded in her mouth.

What surprised Huang Rong the most was the soft, chewy texture of the rice, which, when paired with milk tea, was incredibly fragrant.

“How is this done?”

"You'll know if you ask Master Lu, my sister."

"Humph!"

Huang Rong took a bite of the egg tart, and its rich aroma was a completely different experience compared to milk tea.

"It's delicious, you know what's good for you."

····

"Miss Huang has disappeared!"

That evening, before Zhang Xiaoshan could continue his courtship, Huang Rong disappeared from the Zhang residence without even leaving a letter.

While Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised, he also felt that this was perfectly normal.

However, since Huang Rong had run away, Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to chase after her.

Just kidding, this hat isn't exactly cheap.

Now that both sides have agreed, Zhang Xiaoshan has no choice but to agree, otherwise his job is secure.

"Shan'er!"

Inside the hall, Huang Yaoshi and Zhang Yuan sat at the head of the table. The look in their eyes as they looked at Zhang Xiaoshan made it clear that they would personally go and retrieve him.

"Rong'er is a willful girl, but you also bear an unshirkable responsibility this time."

So this time, your Uncle Huang and I want you to go and find that girl. The world is dangerous, and we're really worried about her being out there.”

"Your son obeys, but the plan for Southeast Asia must wait until my return."

The Nanyang Project is of great importance; it can be said to be a grand strategy devised by Zhang Xiaoshan, and no carelessness is allowed.

There are too many people watching the Zhang family now, and Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't trust anyone else.
