The two then went to a noodle shop.

"Boss, fifty bowls of beef noodles, the largest size, please."

Yan Tianyang's words immediately made him the focus of everyone's attention in the entire noodle shop.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Fan cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "You may be shameless, but I am."

Although he also has a big appetite, he doesn't eat as much as Yan Tianyang.

At least he won't ask for that much from just one company.

Yan Tianyang glanced at the urea bag placed to the side; the bag contained many empty bottles.

"Heh, you picked up trash all the way here, and you still have the nerve to say you have any shame?"

Just now, after he and Jiang Fan came out of the Divine Wind Camp, as they were walking, Jiang Fan suddenly bent down and picked up an empty bottle from the ground.

From then on, there was no stopping them; they collected more and more.

And that urea bag was found in the trash can.

To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, Yan Tianyang has never cared about other people's opinions, and he has always been independent in his words and deeds.

Face? That's a concept that has never existed in his vocabulary.

They don't even know what shame is.

Just now, I was walking next to Jiang Fan, watching him rummage through the trash can for urea bags and empty bottles, feeling the stares of the people around us.

Um...

At that moment, he really wanted to say:

He didn't know this guy.

"The city is our home, and beautifying it is everyone's responsibility. I'm just implementing the laws and policies of our Great Xia!"

Jiang Fan spoke without batting an eye, looking every bit the model citizen protecting the environment.

"Hehe."

Believe me, even boars can reproduce.

Therefore, Yan Tianyang didn't believe a single word Jiang Fan said so seriously.

Suddenly, he squinted and leaned forward.

"I heard that your habit of picking up trash started a few months before the martial arts exam, which is around the time you started to gain fame. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Thump!

Jiang Fan's inner alarm bells were ringing, but his face remained calm.

What are you trying to say?

His tone was also very calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

From the moment Yan Tianyang asked the question, he kept staring at the boy in front of him, trying to glean the slightest clue from his face.

Was your opportunity related to collecting trash?

A single sentence was like an ice cube falling into a pot of boiling oil, causing it to explode completely.

Jiang Fan's heart was filled with a turbulent storm that was impossible to stop.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did I guess right?" Yan Tianyang smiled, his eyes narrowed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Hmm." Jiang Fan nodded heavily, saying in an exaggerated tone, "Oh no, you guessed it. My opportunity really is to become stronger by picking up trash."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Until the owner brought out bowls of noodles one by one.

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Yan Tianyang leaned back, reverting to his previous lazy and casual demeanor.

Believe it or not.

After saying that, Jiang Fan buried his head in his noodles, looking completely indifferent.

In the restaurant across from the noodle shop.

The members of the Edge-Breaking Squad were looking at Jiang Fan with the eyes of someone who had already died.

They've been following Jiang Fan from the Divine Wind Camp's headquarters all this time, just to find the right opportunity to kill him.

" Captain Wei, when do we make our move?" Lu Da You asked.

"Not now, we need to find a secluded place," Wei Tingshan said coldly.

Suddenly, someone raised a question.

"Don't you guys think Tang Fan looks a lot like someone? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place him."

Jiang Fan was eating noodles, so naturally he took off his mask to reveal his true face.

"Who cares who he resembles? Anyone who messes with our Edge-Breaking Squad must die," Wei Tingshan.

After finishing his noodles, Yan Tianyang stood up, patted himself down, and then patted himself down again.

This scene reminded Jiang Fan of a TV drama he had seen before, and his expression immediately turned strange.

"You didn't bring any money, did you?"

Yan Tianyang laughed heartily, "You really are a genius."

"..."

Jiang Fan was too lazy to talk, so he took out his phone and scanned a QR code.

"I remember, you owe me a favor."

Yan Tianyang was taken aback. "You really know how to calculate. I only owe you money for a meal, and you expect me to repay a favor?"

"Give me the money now, or you can stay and wash the dishes."

Before Jiang Fan could finish speaking, Yan Tianyang had already strode away from the noodle shop.

"..."

After paying, Jiang Fan quickly chased after him.

"The commander-in-chief of the Divine Wind Camp, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Yan Tianyang paused, "How about I give you the Divine Wind Camp as collateral?"

"Never mind then." Jiang Fan refused without even thinking. Now it was his turn to stride forward, afraid that Yan Tianyang would continue to say that he would give him the Divine Wind Camp.

"What's yours will come to you," Yan Tianyang said as he chased after him.

"I think Ye Qizhen is more suitable," Jiang Fan said.

"Yes, that's what I think too." Yan Tianyang nodded.

Jiang Fan was taken aback for a moment, "Then why did you--"

"Let me finish. Before you came along, I also thought Ye Qizhen was quite suitable," Yan Tianyang said.

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow. "If you said that to Ye Qizhen's face, it would be like trying to sow discord between him and me. Aren't you afraid he'll hold a grudge?"

"No." Yan Tianyang replied decisively.

Jiang Fan turned her head to look at him, "You answered so confidently?"

"Do you know why?" Yan Tianyang asked instead of answering.

Seeing the confident and composed smile on his face, Jiang Fan's curiosity was instantly piqued.

"Because he thinks you're more suitable," Yan Tianyang said.

This answer was completely unexpected for Jiang Fan. "Did he say that, or do you think that's what he thought?"

"That's what he said, and that's what I think too. So, after hearing what he said, what are your thoughts?" Yan Tianyang stared intently into Jiang Fan's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Just like before, Jiang Fan didn't hesitate for even a second.

I still think he's more suitable.

"Oh? Why?" Yan Tianyang asked curiously.

Jiang Fan's expression turned serious. He remained silent for two seconds before speaking, "You don't understand, this is a man's intuition."

Yan Tianyang had been listening intently, but he never expected to receive such a speechless answer.

It's as if he's not a man.

As they walked, the two unknowingly arrived at a sparsely populated area.

"I'm going back to school, do you want to come with me?"

Seeing that Yan Tianyang had no intention of leaving, Jiang Fan began to urge him to leave.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to my alma mater; it's time to go back and visit," Yan Tianyang said.

Jiang Fan was taken aback. "You came from Yuanwu?"

"Isn't it a pleasant surprise?" Yan Tianyang grinned, revealing a set of dazzling white teeth. "Speaking of which, you should call me senior."

Today, Yan Tianyang brought Jiang Fan too many surprises, not only because of his senior, but also because of the shock in his words and actions.
