All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Then, Han Chunming coughed twice more and began to speak in a serious tone.

"Are you Master Huang's daughter?"

Qi Siqiao snapped out of her thoughts and realized that the man in front of her was not someone to be trifled with. She immediately tensed up and began to look around, clearly considering an escape route.

Han Chunming saw the other person's darting eyes and immediately guessed what the other person was thinking. However, now that he knew where the other person came from, he was no longer worried. If the monk can run away, can the temple escape?

Seeing that the other party did not answer him, Han Chunming snorted and pretended to be angry.

"I'm asking you a question."

Qi Siqiao quickly realized what was happening. Although she was a little uneasy, she still kept a cold face and said coldly.

"You guessed right, I am Fifth Master's daughter! Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Han Chunming glanced at the girl's stubborn expression and immediately had an idea. He deliberately put on a cold face and said...

"Is Old Huang ignoring what I said? I told him the other day that things shouldn't happen more than three times. If it happens again, I'm prepared to let him hold the banquet. I won't make things difficult for you today. Go back and tell your father to prepare a coffin. While it's still possible to have a traditional burial, find a good place and give him a week to arrange his funeral!"

Han Chunming's sudden change of expression, coupled with his icy tone, finally broke Qi Siqiao's defenses. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at Han Chunming with a terrified expression, her voice trembling and her eyes red as she pitifully pleaded.

"My dad doesn't know about this. I came here on my own. He told me not to mess with you and that he couldn't see through you. I wasn't convinced, so I wanted to see just how powerful you really are. I admit defeat. Please, just let my dad go. I beg you!"

The icy beauty suddenly transformed into a pitiful little thing, a change that made Han Chunming's eyes shine even brighter. Standing at around 1.73 meters tall, from that fleeting glimpse just now, this girl had a perfect figure, a face that was exactly his type, and this ability to change her appearance in countless ways—this girl was truly a rare gem!

Han Chunming chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he remained calm and unmoved, continuing to ask with a cold face.

"What's your name?"

Qi Siqiao paused for a moment, then replied softly.

"Qi Siqiao!"

Qi Siqiao, that's a very nice name. Her nickname is Xiao Qiao? Not bad, not bad!

Han Chunming took two steps forward slowly with a cold face. Seeing Han Chunming suddenly step forward, Qi Siqiao quickly tried to back away.

Han Chunming quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her tightly to his side. The two were almost touching. The 1.8-meter-tall Han Chunming looked down at her like a domineering CEO, clearly seeing panic and unease in her eyes!

Seeing that it was about time, Han Chunming continued speaking.

"I'll let your father go, but you have to agree to one condition!"

Qi Siqiao's heart was pounding. Hearing Han Chunming's words, she subconsciously tried to break free from his hand, but Han Chunming's palm was like an iron clamp, making her unable to move at all. At this moment, Qi Siqiao regretted it deeply. If she had known, she would never have been curious about him no matter what. The man in front of her had a burning gaze, and she had seen this kind of look in the eyes of many men.

She could resist other men, but this man—she had personally witnessed him deal with those young men. His methods were ruthless, and the damage from each move was indeed beyond that of ordinary people. If he really wanted to take the old man's body, what should she do? What should she do?

Han Chunming felt the softness of the girl's hands and exclaimed inwardly once again, "Not bad, not bad, even her little hands are so soft. I'm so lucky in the future!"

Han Chunming reached out a hand, placed it on the other person's chin, slowly lifted it up so that her face was facing him, their eyes met, and finally he said coldly.

"I want you to spend one day with me every week from now on. Don't worry, I'm not that shameless. I won't do anything to you. Let's develop our relationship first. Master Huang has a wonderful daughter. To put it simply, beautiful lady, you've successfully attracted the attention of an outstanding man. You should be very grateful!"

After hearing Han Chunming's words, Qi Siqiao was so stunned that she couldn't breathe and remained dumbfounded for a long time before she came to her senses. "Is this guy crazy?"

However, if this weirdo really won't do anything to me as he says, then I can just appease him for now.

Qi Siqiao still looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes, and nodded to Han Chunming, which was considered as agreeing to Han Chunming's request!

Actress Qi Siqiao gradually came to her senses and had an idea in mind. She could take this opportunity to find out the real background of this weird guy!

Seeing Qi Siqiao nod in agreement, Han Chunming was overjoyed. He gave Qi Siqiao a silly smile, which instantly broke her defenses and swept away her cold demeanor!

Chapter 10: Don't tell anyone!

When Qi Siqiao saw Han Chunming's silly grin, her guard immediately dropped.

What bad intentions could a man who smiles foolishly all the time possibly have?

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Han Chunming took another look at Qi Siqiao and couldn't help but sigh in his heart once again that this girl was truly beautiful.

With her high nose bridge, big, almond-shaped eyes, and a touch of exotic charm from her mixed heritage, this girl's skin was much fairer than that of the old woman from Yanjing. She also had a tall figure of over 1.7 meters. This girl kept Han Chunming feeling excited and unable to calm down.

Such a beautiful woman has a fatal attraction for men, and they may even have only one impulse in their hearts: they must make her their woman.

She is alluring yet not arrogant, standing tall and graceful, like a pure white lotus flower, making men unable to resist wanting to touch its heart.

In Han Chunming's past lives, he had seen many beautiful women. In his last dream, Guo Zhenyuan's beautiful secretaries were all charming and alluring.

Even before his marriage, Guo Zhenyuan hosted a pool party with beautiful models from all over the world, but those beauties always seemed to lack a certain depth.

Perhaps this is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Qi Siqiao's beauty truly caught Han Chunming's eye, and the impulse and heartbeat he hadn't felt in a long time were stirred up by this girl.

Seeing Han Chunming staring intently at her, Qi Siqiao felt as if the man in front of her was about to devour her. She had indeed miscalculated this time; this man was not only a master but also a lecherous wolf.

Han Chunming noticed the girl's evasive eyes, clearly indicating she was still somewhat wary of him. He chuckled, "There's plenty of time; no need to rush."

Then Han Chunming said with a smile.

"That's settled for today. You can go now. Remember, I need to see you next Saturday morning at nine o'clock. Where do you live? Or I can come to you!"

When Qi Siqiao heard Han Chunming ask for her address, she quickly replied.

"No need, no need, I'll come find you. I know where you live."

Han Chunming nodded, smiling as he looked at Qi Siqiao. This girl was beautiful no matter how you looked at her, and she brought joy to people's hearts and minds!

Qi Siqiao felt a little uneasy under Han Chunming's gaze, her eyes darting away, and she quickly said something.

"Well... I'll be going now!"

Han Chunming nodded.

After receiving permission, Qi Siqiao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left, not even leaving her bicycle behind, for fear that Han Chunming would call her back again!

Han Chunming wanted to shout when he saw this, but after thinking about it, he stopped. He figured he might as well not have this ill-gotten wealth!

Han Chunming then turned and left.

Back at the courtyard house, Han Chunming was caught red-handed by Su Meng before he even entered.

Seeing Su Meng, who had been waiting for a long time, Han Chunming was immediately overwhelmed, only then remembering that there was one more person here.

Originally, Han Chunming didn't have any particular feelings for Su Meng, and now that he saw Qi Siqiao, his first reaction to Su Meng was to avoid her.

Su Meng, however, was relentless. She grabbed Han Chunming's bicycle and then pulled on his clothes around his waist. Her face changed, and seeing that she was about to do something again, Han Chunming was so frightened that he quickly pulled her to the street corner.

Su Meng loosened her grip on Han Chunming's clothes and asked angrily.

"Han Chunming, explain yourself clearly, what exactly do you mean?"

Han Chunming groaned inwardly, "What kind of mess is this?"

"What? What do I mean? I didn't mean anything, Su Meng. I already made things clear at the Temple of Heaven. Let's just be ordinary friends, okay!"

Seeing that Han Chunming still had this attitude, Su Meng's eyes finally started to redden again, and then she pouted and shouted.

"Oh no, oh no! Han Chunming, you bad guy, you big bad guy! What did you just say at the Temple of Heaven? And now you're doing this again! Waaah...you big bad guy!"

Han Chunming was completely exasperated. He hated girls who were being unreasonable the most. What had he said?

Didn't I clearly say at the Temple of Heaven that we would just be ordinary friends?

What's going on this time?

Wait!

It seems that when he was saving people, he said something like, "You dare touch my woman?"

That's it?

Sin!

Han Chunming was speechless. Seeing Su Meng start to cry again, Han Chunming gritted his teeth and said to Su Meng.

"Su Meng, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you the truth, I have a girlfriend!"

As soon as Han Chunming said this, the air suddenly became quiet. After a long while, Su Meng staggered and was about to fall backward. Han Chunming quickly tried to support her, but Su Meng pushed his hand away.

Seeing this, Han Chunming simply took a step back. Since the matter had already been made clear, he figured he might as well do whatever he wanted.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!

Su Meng had stopped crying, but tears still flowed silently. Looking at Han Chunming, she recalled his heroic figure saving her and other past events. Han Chunming's image appeared in her mind, but was it over now?

No, no, he must be lying to me!

Su Meng suddenly found a way to save face, looking at Han Chunming and asking in a pleading tone.

"Chunming, are you lying to me?"

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng, who was usually so assertive, and saw her asking him in a pleading tone. His heart softened for a moment, but then Qi Siqiao's image flashed into his mind, and he steeled himself again, then said seriously.

"I really do have a girlfriend. I'll bring her home to meet my mom next week. You can come and meet her then!"

Han Chunming's words plunged Su Meng's heart into despair. She stumbled backward, almost falling. Han Chunming tried to help her up, but Su Meng pushed his hand away, tears streaming down her face. Without bothering to wipe them away, she stumbled and ran away.

Seeing this, Han Chunming sighed and followed at a distance, just in case he did something rash and regretted it for the rest of his life.

This body of his had secretly loved Su Meng for so many years, and seeing Su Meng so heartbroken now touched him somewhat. But remembering Su Meng's personality and her experiences in the original story, he ultimately didn't dare to make a move.

Hopefully, time will heal her wounds!

Han Chunming followed Su Meng from a distance without being noticed by her. He saw her walking aimlessly in the street, her expression numb. She walked like this for more than an hour until she finally reached the riverbank. Standing on the riverbank, Su Meng looked melancholy and had a vacant look in her eyes. She quietly looked at the river, lost in thought.

Han Chunming's heart jumped when he saw this. Fortunately, Su Meng just quietly looked at the river and didn't do anything foolish. After an hour, she finally started walking home.

Han Chunming finally felt relieved after seeing Su Meng enter the courtyard house; he thought he had gotten through today's ordeal.

Han Chunming passed by a convenience store, bought two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and some cooked peanuts and other snacks. He carried them toward the house of the old man, the Nine Gates Admiral. His mood had been fluctuating all day, and he felt a tightness in his chest. He needed to find someone to have a drink with.

Speaking of drinking, my master, Grandpa Guan, is a true heavy drinker. If you open a bottle and gently blow on it towards his room, he can identify people by the smell of the liquor from several meters away. Grandpa Guan doesn't have much interest in anything else now, but liquor has become an indispensable part of his life.

If it were the old Han Chunming, he would visit the old man every day or two. However, after merging with a new soul, his master-disciple relationship with the old man seemed to have faded a bit. It had been a week since he last visited the old man, and upon reflection, he felt somewhat guilty.

That's actually normal. Han Chunming's life experience is much richer than that of Grandpa Guan. Grandpa Guan often refers to himself as a descendant of the Nine Gates Admiral, as if he has the air of a fallen nobleman, which sounds like he once came from a very prominent family.

It certainly sounds impressive, but back in the world of "The Grand Mansion Gate," when he led the Black Family Army and caused a great stir in Yanjing, a minor official like the Nine Gates Admiral knelt at the gate, trembling and not daring to raise his head.

Even the prince could be killed without hesitation, so in Han Chunming's eyes, the life experiences of Master Guan were like child's play.

He had little feeling about those things concerning the Qing Dynasty, let alone any respect for them.

He respected Master Guan because he respected his character and teachings, which influenced Han Chunming's values ​​for the first twenty years of his life. The word "master" implies both teacher and father. No matter how great one is, Master Guan is an elder in this world, so it is only right to be filial to him.

Although Grandpa Guan and Han Chunming did not live in the same courtyard house, they lived on the same street. Carrying a pair of wines, Han Chunming went directly into Grandpa Guan's courtyard and saw him lying in a rocking chair with a radio next to him, listening to Peking Opera with his eyes closed.
