The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1310 - 1310: Xue Nuofu's Thick Skin
The little girl stayed silent for a long while, as if deflated, crouching directly on the ground, her small head on her knees, her expression full of distress.
Xiao Feng retracted his leg from outside the window, jumped down from the windowsill, crouched slowly, rubbed the little girl's head, and then placed his hand on her shoulder, softly saying:
"On one side is old man Shao, who watched you grow up, on the other is a good friend you are with every day, both sides fighting because of you, it's truly enough to give you a headache.
Hmm... let me guess.
You're probably torn right now, wondering whether to go against your own thoughts, and use the method of leaving with old man Shao to stop the fight between the two sides?"
The little girl pursed her pink lips, nodded and said, "That's right."
After pausing, she added, "Everyone is fighting over me down there, yet I feel like an outsider, it just doesn't make any sense..."
Xiao Feng pinched the little girl's nose, smiled and said, "My little princess is just as sensible as ever."
The little girl's pretty face turned slightly red, and all her worries were temporarily forgotten in that moment.
"Need me to help you come up with an idea?"
"Xiao Feng brother, I knew you'd definitely help me!" The little girl immediately smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, wrapped her arms around Xiao Feng's neck, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned, and the bit of thought he had just surfaced, dissipated completely.
At this moment, the little girl also froze, as if only now realizing what she had done.
She hurriedly released her hands, got up and stepped back three steps, flusteredly saying, "That... just now I actually..."
At this point, she couldn't continue, only feeling her cheeks burning, her heart pounding like a drum, rarely had she been this flustered.
Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile, stood up, and changed the subject, "Let me think of a way for you first."
"Right, right!" The little girl immediately echoed, "Xiao Feng brother, please quickly help me come up with an idea."
Though saying that, she was actually confused inside.
She had obviously found excuses to kiss Xiao Feng brother before, so why did it suddenly feel so different this time?
Before she could think more, Xiao Feng began to analyze the current situation, "You don't want to do nothing, but right now you also can't step in to help either side.
Old man Shao won't accept any negotiations, tsk… it's really troublesome!"
"Xiao Feng brother, you can't just ignore me because it's troublesome!"
"Don't worry, let me think it over some more." Xiao Feng paced slowly, then stopped and said, "Try contacting your family now, see if you can get a call through."
The key to the current problem is obviously with Shao Baxing, and solving it needs little girl's grandfather or father to speak up.
Otherwise, the only option is to subdue Shao Baxing.
But subduing such an expert without using lethal force isn't an easy thing to accomplish.
The little girl immediately understood Xiao Feng's idea, her eyes lit up, and said, "How come I didn't think of that!"
Saying that, she slapped her forehead, took out her phone and made a call.
After a while, the little girl frowned tightly and said, "I've called all the contact numbers I know, they're all disconnected, I can't reach home."
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "Old man Shao came here personally... Can't connect by phone... and no one is actively calling you..."
Gradually, Xiao Feng faintly felt like he understood something.
"Don't worry, as I said before, if you don't want to go, nobody, not even God himself, can take you away, rest assured, I'll handle this for you!"
"Mhm!" The little girl nodded emphatically, feeling much more at ease, reflexively opened her arms, wanting to hug Xiao Feng.
But just as she took a step, she seemed to realize something, blushed and retracted her steps, her arms also went behind her back.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, seems like you've grown up, actually know how to be shy now?" Xiao Feng teased with a smile.
The little girl stomped her feet, pouting, "Xiao Feng brother, you're so annoying!"
Resuming sitting on the windowsill, Xiao Feng observed the battle below.
At that moment, Hui Jiu and others had retreated, Hui Yi and others were stepping up again.
Du Qingyue, Jiang Yixin, and Lu Yao, all three girls were wounded, yet they gritted their teeth and persisted, charging in whenever they saw an opportunity.
And Shao Baxing's situation didn't look optimistic either, showing a clear tendency of being at a disadvantage.
Xiao Feng thought of how the last time they acted collectively was when they were dealing with Gu Shi.
Unfortunately, Shao Baxing is not Gu Shi, although his combat skills are excellent and his strength formidable, ultimately he is still flesh and blood; punches on the body hurt, and his stamina isn't limitless.
Just then, Xue Nuofu looked up, appearing somewhat aggrieved, as if asking if they could use some killing moves to put Shao Baxing down decisively.
Xiao Feng shook his head, smiled without speaking, giving a glance that conveyed "figure it out yourself".
Xue Nuofu contemplated for a while, and soon had an epiphany.
Xiao Feng used Shao Baxing as a whetstone, acting as a sparring partner for Hui Yi and the others, it's just that this sparring partner is quite strong.
However, this approach is necessary to some extent.
After all, the purpose of training physical ability is to apply it in actual combat.
No matter how good your physical training, if you can't use it in real combat, it's pointless.
You can't exactly ask your opponent for a foot race or frog jumps, can you?
Realizing this, Xue Nuofu decisively ordered, "From now on, go up one by one, don't let anyone say we bully with numbers!"
Those who heard this had complicated expressions on their faces...
Don't let anyone say we bully with numbers?
Why not wait until Shao Baxing is exhausted before saying that?
Everyone immediately had an irresistible urge to make a comment.
Indeed, close proximity to good or bad will influence one's character, Xue Nuofu, the second boss, has a skin thickness nearly rivaling Xiao Feng, the big boss!
Of course, this was only mockery in their minds, none dared to say it aloud.
Thus, it turned into one-on-one bouts next.
"Do you have a pen and paper?" Xiao Feng turned and looked at the little girl, whose pretty face still hadn't completely lost its blush.
The little girl was dazed for a moment, then reached into her pocket, "I do, I do."
Saying that, she took out a palm-sized notebook and a pink pen, handing them over.
Xiao Feng took the notebook, opened it, and immediately looked surprised.
Inside were notes all related to the small scent beads, including rest schedule, the spacing and meaning of calls, the time spent sneaking over to Zhao Guo'an's house for potty breaks, and more.
Observing the neat writing on the paper, Xiao Feng exhaled deeply, smiled at the little girl, and gave her a thumbs up, "Well done!"
The little girl's sensibility was self-evident, but through the notebook's content, Xiao Feng had a newfound understanding of her seriousness in handling things.
He used to think the little girl did everything based on her preferences, whatever made her happy, but now it seemed, she was very mindful and not one to stay on the surface.
Retracting his thoughts, Xiao Feng uncapped the pen, watching the fighting below while jotting down each person's shortcomings and areas needing improvement in the notebook.
Opportunities like this are rare, and since it's right in front of him, he can't let it slip by.
By the time the last person finished their duel with Shao Baxing, the notebook was filled with notes covering ten pages, and Shao Baxing's crooked mouth returned to normal.
"You can stop now!" Xiao Feng said.
Old Ha and others lowered their heads, full of shame, while Shao Baxing dusted off his long robe, letting out a cold snort.
He seemed disdainful, yet also seemed angry.
