Zhuan An, hearing Xiao Fan say that they are leaving tightened her grip on his hand a little more than she had already had.
It couldn't be put to words; however, Zhuan An described the current happening as a joyous occasion, maybe for others, this was only a date at max, but for her, it was much more. Ever since she had met Xiao Fan in that cave and did some unspeakable things to him had she become to rever him as her moon and stars.
Xiao Fan walking next to her could also feel something like this was happening, and he genuinely had no idea why was she smitten by him this hard? Even what had happened between him and Qian Ki seemed to be a small connection compared to her, and he still remembers how he had almost broken over during that.
Nevertheless, why should he worry? If she was happy, he was happy. Sure, she might have violated his privacy hard with Fei Sun, but currently, both sides were happy with what came out of that.
Like should he complain about his current state? There was something bad in having one arm ripped off by a possessive girl, who even by his standards was cute and clumsy.
¨Hey, when will it happen?¨ Them having now walked out of the Zhuan Family courtyard Xiao Fan decided to ask about the thing.
However, it might have been too soon still, as Zhuan An getting what the ¨it¨ meant didn't say anything to him.
'Would think that she would want to talk when she and Fei Sun would enforce the sect rule' Xiao Fan thought that since they wanted to anchor themselves to him by forcing a marriage to happen between them and him would they also talk stuff concerning it.
Yet, as the girl now looked into the other direction her face most likely blushing did he decide to ask something else, which would definitely get her talking.
¨We need to take a right here¨ He spoke to her, who wasn't looking forward, wanting to note a turn would be happening.
¨No turn. We. Alone¨ He was right. She would talk when something serious would be happening.
¨Oh, no Fei Sun?¨ Xiao Fan asked. The turn left would have indicated them going to the Fei Family courtyard and not the training field.
It took some time, and as they had stopped it was a little awkward until Zhuan An responded again ¨No...¨
¨Weren't you in this together? Why are you ditching your accomplice?¨ Now having her talking, he decided to push her.
¨She already got a full day outside with you!¨ Zhuan An came up with a valid point ¨At least let me have a couple of hours¨ She then almost begged.
'Did I hit that part of her again?' Xiao Fan remembered how he shouldn't be going too hard on Zhuan An's feelings, not even joking or teasing.
¨Couple of hours? That wouldn't be fair¨ Xiao Fan then began to give her the power to dictate some better terms, she was asking for too little.
Zhuan An didn't notice that it was being given due to her head not being in the straightest order currently, but hearing that he was lenient she knew she would need to take everything.
¨Not fair at all¨ Zhuan An heavily agreed with Xiao Fan's statement.
¨Fei Sun was out with me for an entire day or even a little more¨ Xiao Fan acted.
¨And it was full of exciting content¨ Zhuan An pushed.
¨I wonder how we can calculate that... what if I leave it up for you?¨
¨Yes!¨ She took the deal immediately, not thinking for a split second.
¨Well, while you think a correct amount, we'll go to the training field, after I have done my training you can give me a rough idea¨ He spoke and then continued walking, not taking a right towards Fei Sun's house.
At the training field.
¨Everyone trains in the mornings?¨ Xiao Fan looking at the almost empty training field asked.
The night was only setting in, and columns having a fire on top were lighting the training field, so why was almost no one here? And as Zhuan An had spoken that she trained in the morning, moreover, she said it in a tone that told it as if it was a known truth.
So there should be something right in his question.
At the start of their time together Zhuan An might have been shy to a great degree, however, after some help from Xiao Fan and now getting to explain things, out came the normal her. Energetic and helpful.
¨More specifically, no one trains during the early morning nor in the late evening. Everyone trains just after midday¨ That was the first explanation, but then knowing that Xiao Fan would ask more she kept going and answered his follow up question before he got to say it.
¨Because the sect mission list in the main square is updated midday, so everyone takes a look at the missions first, and if there is nothing suitable they come to train¨
¨So it is the most effective way?¨ Xiao Fan got what she was telling him 'She's better at explaining than Du Lan'
Well, only a little, but Xiao Fan liked the way how Zhuan An did it, or more correctly he didn't like how Du Lan would look at him as if he was an idiot when she needed to explain something easy. It wasn't his fault to be in that prison for so long.
¨Need to know anything else?¨ This girl even asked if he needed to be told something else in a pleasant tone.
¨No thanks. By the way, could you help me with training?¨ Xiao Fan didn't need anything more explained, but he did need help in training.
¨Anything¨ She also didn't deny his request.
However, after that, they stood there for a moment, neither saying anything.
¨Hmm¨ Zhuan An who wasn't keeping his hand hostage anymore looked at Xiao Fan, who was staring back at her.
¨How do I put this¨ Xiao Fan then began to ponder how would he say this.
¨The last time I had something resembling a training rhythm was when I was a Body Warming realm Third Grade¨ He revealed.
Which made Zhuan An not look at him stupidly, on her face it was only a twitch when she heard him say so. Then survived that she asked him in a slightly questioning tone.
¨Then how have you come this far?¨ Her question was the one anyone would ask a person who has advanced three grades with no scheduled training.
¨Potions¨ Xiao Fan said in a low voice. Honestly, he was a little ashamed to say that most of his cultivation was achieved by simply gulping down products and not putting in the physical effort that others did.
Thankfully it was Zhuan An who heard this, as she didn't think bad of this.
¨There is nothing wrong with doing so... Okay, there is¨ She wanted to be positive and say that there is nothing wrong.
¨If it was anyone else, at this point, I would be trying to cook you¨ She said, her tone? Clearly jealous.
¨I have once seen my father handle one small vial of some elixir, and that wasn't his, it was only for storage, but you are saying that you have been gulping them? Multiple times perhaps? What skipping half a decade of work?¨
For the first time, Zhuan An was speaking in a tone and with reason that resembles a normal girl, not a lovestruck teenager, revering the other as a god.
¨I did go up three grades in a month with them¨ Xiao Fan for some reason wanted to worsen his situation by telling how fast was he cultivating with the potions help.
What worse, for him, Zhuan An was a person that even if she lashed out would quickly calm down, except now, now she wasn't doing so for a reason he didn't know.
Thankfully, however, she wasn't lashing out at him since, for her, this type of an action meant something along the lines of looking at him stunned and trying to figure things out inside her head.
He only saw a few strokes of her bobby-haircut being made.
¨And how many potions have you made for the other girls¨ She seemed to boldened to ask this; might be because she was so lenient with her earlier with the Fei Sun thing.
¨Two, I made one low-level one and one medium-level potion, each¨ However, Xiao Fan didn't back away when saying this. There needed to be some reason in his world of men, if Zhuan An would be walking over him...then that would be over for him, he might as well become a rug for his women.
¨I see¨ She was calming back to the usual Zhuan An.
¨If you worry so much, I'll make some...¨ Yet he didn't get longer in his sentence.
Zhuan An cut him off ¨No. There is no need. I wasn't with you back then, not even met¨ She didn't actually want him to do anything, or maybe she didn't believe he really would and asking for them would only severe the relationship.
¨Back to the training subject?¨ Xiao Fan, knowing that staying around the topic of other girls around her wasn't the best idea, seeks to change to the topic where she would have the lead.
To which she nodded ¨Well, for starters you can run around the training field a few dozen times¨ Her eyes then going over to the other side of the training field which was a kilometre away.
¨Sure thing¨ Xiao Fan didn't see anything too hard in that, and then began to run laps while Zhuan An took a seat and enjoyed the show, and of course, she had a few things to think about.
When having run some fifty kilometres, Xiao Fan slightly exhausted came out of the field and into the stands where Zhuan An had been admiring, no, supervising his work from with great detail.
'Like running could be supervised or taught anyway?' She thought before getting up to teach him other moves.
¨Even if you hadn't said anything concerning using potions, by now I could have by now guessed you had done so. Your current body is like a hard-shell with a soft inside¨
¨How can I argue¨ Xiao Fan knew she was right. His cultivation might be Grade Two of Body Activation realm on paper, however, like it had been seen in the fight against her, he had been on his last legs while she and Fei Sun had been okay.
And then the difference was too big that it couldn't come from the two on one fact, even then he should have at least lasted longer under their spears.
¨Run the same amount, again¨ Zhua An then ordered, if he lacked in stamina, there was only one way to correct that, running more and more.
Then as she was getting back to her seat, Xiao Fan spoke something in agreement before doing what he had been told to.
Again, Xiao Fan runs some fifty kilometres while Zhuan An happily admires him running, for her, this was the best entertainment imaginable.
The second run finished.
¨What now? Learning some lifts?¨ Xiao Fan, who was starting to show some real fatigue, asked while he regulated his breathing to calm down.
¨You want to learn lifts?¨
¨Yeah¨ Xiao Fan also nodded.
¨Okay¨ Zhuan An seemed to be slightly disappointed, a tone which Xiao Fan took as a mark that she had wanted to run more. He didn't and was happy seeing Zhuan An not make him.
To his disappointment, however, she didn't take him weightlifting, well she did, but this might not have been the one that he was waiting for.
¨Run again, this time put this on¨ She ordered and offered him what couldn't be anything else than a weighted jacked.
Then she for the third time, went back to her spot while Xiao Fan went for another spin.
