The next morning!
When Li Qianfan woke up, he found that ng Lin had already made breakfast, and Li Dalong had left early due to a company eting.
"Sister-in-law, how was your first day at work yesterday?"
Li Qianfan looked at ng Lin curiously and asked.
ng Lin, carrying two bowls of millet porridge, ca to the dining table and handed one of the bowls to Li Qianfan. She replied, "It was quite nice. Wu Lang took good care of and specifically arranged for a professional employee to help transition into the work. I believe it won't take too long to get completely familiar with the job."
"That's good." Li Qianfan nodded gently, feeling completely relieved.
With Wu Lang looking after her in Heavenly World, no one would bully his sister-in-law.
After breakfast, Li Qianfan left ho and headed to the Four Seas Martial Pavilion.
At that mont, Zhao Tianjie was standing at the entrance looking around anxiously, as if he had sothing on his mind. When he saw Li Qianfan getting off the taxi, he quickly walked up to him with a surprised look and asked, "Qianfan, did you set up a fight challenge with Zhang Ju?"
Li Qianfan nodded lightly and countered, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Oh, you are so confused!"
With a helpless expression, Zhao Tianjie said, "Ye Ling'er and I had been communicating with the gym's owner for so long just to prevent Zhang Ju from making a move on you, yet you still accepted Zhang Ju's challenge. All our efforts have been wasted!"
Li Qianfan said seriously, "I can defeat him!"

"Qianfan, I know you are strong, but Zhang Ju is no ordinary person. Keep in mind, he is our gym's only Fifth Rank Martial Artist and has participated in many martial arts competitions, plus he has a lot of combat experience!"
"If he brings out his true strength, I can't even last one move against him, even faster than losing a fight to you!" Zhao Tianjie warned Li Qianfan earnestly.
"I am not afraid, I aspire to beco a ntor and must face Zhang Ju sooner or later. My mind is made up, don't try to persuade !"
Having said that, Li Qianfan walked toward the gym with a relaxed expression.
But just as he arrived at the entrance of the gym, Ye Ling'er suddenly appeared, blocking Li Qianfan's path with a stern look, "Li Qianfan, you can't fight Zhang Ju, you're no match for him."
"You might be underestimating ," Li Qianfan said lightly.
"Although I've never seen you make a move, Zhang Ju has told that you are quite strong. But you lack a lot of combat experience, and with your poor eyesight, your reactions are bound to be slower at tis. Zhang Ju will definitely exploit your weaknesses. You can't win against him!" Ye Ling'er said, standing with her arms outstretched, blocking Li Qianfan seriously.
Li Qianfan said calmly, "I'll be careful!"
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Ye Ling'er's brows furrowed with urgency, "I know you really want to beco a ntor, but there's no need to rush like this. With your strength, as long as you've been a student for a full year, you can smoothly beco a ntor without fighting Zhang Ju."
"Ye Ling'er, Li Qianfan and I agreed on this yesterday, I hope you don't interfere!"
Just then, Zhang Ju appeared nearby, his gaze icy as he stared at Ye Ling'er and continued, "Moreover, I have already told the owner about this, and he has agreed to our fight. Now, everyone in the gym knows about it. Do you think, if Li Qianfan backs down now, he would have the face to continue staying in the gym?"
"The owner actually agreed?"
Surprise was written all over Ye Ling'er's face, the gym's owner had actually agreed to a challenge fight between a ntor and a student.
This truly sets a first precedent for the Four Seas Martial Pavilion.
"Who says I'm backing down?" Li Qianfan said with disdain. "Whenever it starts, let's make it quick. I'm already eager to beco a ntor too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ju's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Li Qianfan's confident appearance, with a dark expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Brat, don't get too cocky. In a little while, I won't even give you the chance to surrender."
"But I will give you the opportunity to surrender!"
Li Qianfan smiled faintly and walked past Ye Ling'er, striding towards the elevator.
As the two brushed past each other, Zhang Ju whispered, "Rember our agreent. If you lose today, get out of Taoyuan County for good and never see Ye Ling'er again."
"If you lose, you'll support as a ntor!"
Li Qianfan looked relaxed as he stared at Zhang Ju and said.
For so reason, while confronting Li Qianfan, Zhang Ju inexplicably felt imnse pressure as if Li Qianfan at that mont was like a primordial beast, giving him an unprecedented sense of pressure.
It wasn't until Li Qianfan had left that the pressure gradually subsided.
Zhang Ju turned to look at Li Qianfan's departing figure and muttered lowly, "An acting god or a ghost of a blind fool, I'll show you soon enough!"
...
After finding out that the pavilion master had agreed to the challenge between Li Qianfan and Zhang Ju, Ye Ling'er hurried to the pavilion master's office with Zhao Tianjie in tow.
Qin Sihai was sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely. When he saw the fuming Ye Ling'er appear, a faint smile surfaced on his face, "Ling'er, Tianjie, you've co at the right ti. Try this tea mailed to by a friend from out of town."
"Pavilion master, why did you agree to the challenge between Li Qianfan and Zhang Ju?"
Ye Ling'er questioned Qin Sihai.
Stroking his beard, Qin Sihai said, "Usually, when mbers of our martial pavilion challenge each other, I rarely refuse. Although it's called a challenge, in my view, it is nothing more than a friendly exchange between fellow practitioners."
"Friendly exchange?"
The anger in Ye Ling'er's eyes grew even more intense as she said, "Pavilion master, one is a student, the other a ntor. What sort of friendly exchange can there be between the two of them? Moreover, I've already told you about the grudge between them. Given Zhang Ju's character, once the fight really starts, he will definitely go all out. Li Qianfan, blind, won't be able to compete."
"You think Li Qianfan is bound to lose?"
Qin Sihai picked up the teacup and drained the fragrant tea in one gulp.
"What else? Zhang Ju is the strongest martial artist of our pavilion, now a 'Fifth Rank' with countless awards and plenty of combat experience. Li Qianfan, although talented, is blind and has never fought anyone. What can he use to fight Zhang Ju?"
Ye Ling'er was very worried about Li Qianfan, her voice grew louder, and her eyes filled with urgency.
Seeing this, Qin Sihai and Zhao Tianjie exchanged glances, both revealing expressions of surprise. In their eyes, Ye Ling'er was like a cold goddess who didn't partake in the affairs of the mortal world, always maintaining a detached deanor regardless of what happened to others.
But now, upon hearing that Li Qianfan was to challenge Zhang Ju, she showed such anxiety, with her concern more than apparent.
Compared to before, it was as if she had beco a different person.
"Ling'er, do you really like Qianfan? Was your confession to him not just to deal with Zhang Ju?"
Qin Sihai stroked his beard, seemingly seeing through everything, and asked with a smile.
