Head Escort looked at Fang Chen, and in fact, the more he looked, the more he liked him. He constantly calculated in his heart,
This kid Fang Chen has a very good friendship with the Three Rivers Gang's Young Gang Leader, and his looks are truly handsome.
Furthermore, at such a young age, he has already trained to the Skin and Muscle Realm... Hmph, he is extremely well-suited for my little daughter.
To be honest, the reason he accepted Zhou Hai's recommendation was for two reasons.
One was because of the other party's status as the Three Rivers Gang's Young Gang Leader.
The other was the thought that perhaps he could secure a marriage match for his little daughter.
Even though Fang Chen's natural bones were only medium-to-low, in Head Escort's view, the Skin and Muscle Realm was already enough; there was no need to demand too much.
Most importantly, Fang Chen and Zhou Hai were good friends.
If Fang Chen could be matched in marriage with his little daughter, Tian Yuan Escort Agency and Three Rivers Gang would be able to forge a connection.
In the future, Tian Yuan Escort Agency's business would be much easier to do.
Thinking of this, Head Escort did not hide his thoughts and directly spoke out,
"Um... I wonder if Young Master Fang has a match?"
Seeing Head Escort looking at him, Fang Chen had no choice but to cup his fists and reply,
"I do not."
Head Escort smiled. "My little daughter is at the fine age of twenty. I wonder if Young Master Fang has any thoughts on the matter?"
This...
Fang Chen was somewhat speechless. He had not expected Head Escort to actually have such thoughts.
To be honest, being unmarried at twenty, against the backdrop where women in this world generally married at fourteen or fifteen, already counted as an "elderly leftover woman"...
No wonder Head Escort was in such a rush.
Coupled with the fact that his appearance, status, and strength were not bad at all, that was why Head Escort had stirred up these thoughts.
Yet...
Fang Chen was currently infatuated with martial arts and had no such thoughts whatsoever.
What was more, if she still hadn't married at such a late age, either she thought too highly of herself or she did not look good.
Fang Chen liked neither of those two types.
Therefore, Fang Chen directly cupped his fists and said, "I am currently infatuated with practicing martial arts and do not have any thoughts regarding matters of affection."
Head Escort, however, waved his hand and chuckled heartily,
"No rush, no rush. You two will have the opportunity to meet in the future."
Fang Chen felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to give no response.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Head Escort changed the subject,
"Young Master Fang, since you have come to our Tian Yuan Escort Agency, you are considered a part of us. May I directly call you Escort Fang?"
Fang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Head Escort."
Head Escort smiled. "Escort Fang, there aren't many rules in Tian Yuan Escort Agency. The main ones are the following few; listen well."
"First, your mouth must be tight! What the escorted cargo is, where it is going, and how much it is worth—none of these can be leaked outside."
Fang Chen nodded. If this information were leaked, the danger of guarding the escort would likely increase greatly.
Head Escort continued,
"Second... Third..."
Fang Chen patiently listened through all the rules.
Finally, he cupped his fists and said, "I will definitely escort goods in accordance with the rules."
Head Escort nodded in satisfaction.
The old escort beside them saw that Fang Chen's attitude was not bad, and his expression also improved a little bit.
At this moment, the old escort said, "There is an escort trip two days from now. Are you coming?"
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded in response,
"Alright, I'll make a bit of preparation these two days, and I will definitely be here two days from now."
The old escort nodded and did not say much else.
Seeing that everything had been discussed, Head Escort also waved his hand, letting the two of them go out.
Once Fang Chen and the old escort had both gone out,
a female walked out, who was precisely Head Escort's daughter, Liu Yan.
She possessed a slender figure and a pretty face, yet between her brows she carried an unshakeable arrogance.
Liu Yan had been hiding in the dark just now, secretly watching Fang Chen, and naturally she had also heard the conversation inside the parlor.
This was the arrangement of Head Escort Liu Tianyuan, who intended to let his little daughter take a look at Fang Chen's appearance.
If she felt he was not bad, she would simply marry him directly.
Yet at this moment,
Liu Yan looked toward the direction where Fang Chen had vanished, without the slightest concealment of the disdain in her eyes, and curled her lip as she said,
"Dad, what on earth are you thinking?! You said it yourself before that his natural bones are only medium-to-low!"
"So what if he looks good?"
"Why would you think that after I looked at his appearance, I would think about marrying him? In your eyes, is your daughter really such a superficial person?"
Liu Yan's voice carried dissatisfaction.
"If you ask me, with such mediocre natural bones, I'm afraid he won't even touch the threshold of the Sinew and Bone Realm in this lifetime!"
"What right do you have to make me marry someone with zero potential like this?!"
"The person your daughter wants to marry is a figure like Young Master Li, the Young Master of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School!"
As she spoke, Liu Yan's brows relaxed, and longing appeared in her eyes,
"Young Master Li has top-grade natural bones, and breaking through to the Sinew and Bone Realm is only a matter of time. That is a daughter's ideal husband!"
Upon hearing this, Head Escort Liu Tianyuan's temper flared up instantly with a whoosh:
"Young Master Li? Do you think people even look at you?! You are already twenty, and you're still being picky! If you keep being picky and truly become an old maid who can't get married, what will you do?"
"This Fang Chen is young, yet he is already a Three Rivers Gang manager, and moreover he is on good terms with Young Gang Leader Zhou Hai. His future is bright, and he is more than enough to match you!"
Liu Yan stamped her feet in anger upon hearing this,
"I don't care! I simply look down on him!"
"How could he ever be worthy of me!"
With that, she glared fiercely at her father, turned around, and angrily slammed the door as she left.
Liu Tianyuan let out a long sigh,
"This child thinks too highly of herself. How could the Sinew and Bone Realm be something you can break through just like that? It's already good enough to have the Skin and Muscle Realm, yet she actually expects to need the Sinew and Bone Realm to be worthy of him."
Suddenly, Liu Tianyuan's thoughts shifted,
"If Fang Chen were able to break through..."
Liu Tianyuan shook his head, feeling that his own thought was somewhat foolish.
If Fang Chen truly broke through, by that time Liu Yan wouldn't even have time to regret it!
He could only let out a sigh, wondering how he should persuade Liu Yan.
As for Liu Yan at this moment,
she walked straight out of Tian Yuan Escort Agency and went to find her Young Master Li.
As for Fang Chen...
To be honest, Liu Yan had seen right through it.
The reason her father wanted her to marry Fang Chen was simply because he had taken a fancy to the other party's connection with the Three Rivers Gang!
He hadn't considered her feelings at all!
"Hmph, so what if he has a connection with the Three Rivers Gang's Young Gang Leader?! It must be a connection he obtained by currying favor with the powerful, completely not the behavior of a gentleman!"
"How could a person like that ever be worthy of me!"
"What's more, he even comes from a commoner background. What right do I have to wrong myself just to marry him?"
The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more reasonable she felt it was, and the conviction in her heart toward her own judgment grew increasingly firm.
At this moment, Fang Chen had already returned to the martial arts school.
In his heart, he did not hold the slightest thought toward Head Escort's daughter.
Anyway, this world was so vast.
When his strength was peerless, what kind of woman couldn't he find? Thus, there was no need to pursue this kind of matter so early on.
Right now, practicing martial arts was still the most important thing!
Breaking through to the Sinew and Bone Realm early would allow many matters to suddenly become clear!
After the breakthrough, not only would Shen Tian's threat from the Green Robe Gang be resolved,
but Hong Decheng's opportunity could also be secured in his hands!
If he found Song Ming unpleasant to the eye, he could even find an opportunity to slap him twice!
Therefore, Fang Chen's mindset regarding the matter of practicing martial arts was extremely firm.
Only by practicing martial arts and growing stronger could he more easily resolve the matters he encountered!
He did not dwell on it, swallowed a mouthful of great medicine, assumed his stance, and intently began practicing Tiger Subduing Fist!
A day's time passed in the blink of an eye.
Proficiency continued to grow at twice the speed!
Tiger Subduing Fist proficiency +2!
Tiger Subduing Fist proficiency +2!
