Chapter 11

At this moment, Ferren's eyes were filled with a mad killing intent, but as he tore off his mask, his gaze returned to normal, and his expression turned cold as he said, "Madam, I hope you will keep the previous agreement." He then slightly tilted his head and said to Ren Gaofeng, "Sir Ren, I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he put down his gun, didn't eat the remaining food, and walked away directly.

Xie Yixin wanted to call out to Ferren, but she had not yet caught her breath. As soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into a fit of dry coughs, making it extremely difficult to breathe, let alone speak.

Old Ren quickly helped her sit down and asked with concern, "How badly are you hurt? Let me take a look." As he said this, he reached out to pull Xie Yixin's injured hand.

Xie Yixin quickly pulled back, smiling awkwardly, "Brother Feng, no need to look. I'll just apply some medicinal wine when I get home."

Ren Gaofeng, however, cornered her and forcefully grabbed her hand, saying, "If it weren't for my late father and your father being sworn brothers, I wouldn't bother with you at all!" If Ferren had heard this, he would have been furious. It turns out these two were on the same side!

When he pulled Xie Yixin's hands to take a look, Ren Gaofeng was shocked to see that her hand was swollen like a pig's trotter: "Damn, why is it so swollen? Allen really didn't know how to hold back."

Xie Yixin said timidly, "Brother Feng, it's not his fault."

"I didn't say it was his fault. It's your own fault for being too arrogant," Old Ren said, pursing his lips. "Do you really think my judgment is wrong? I told you Ferren is incredibly skilled, but you insisted on testing him. Now, how will you explain this to Uncle Xie when you go home this weekend?"

Xie Yixin was taken aback, then smiled, "No worries, my bones are fine. There are still a few days until the weekend, so the swelling should go down." In fact, if Ferren hadn't held back, her bones would have been shattered.

Old Ren quickly fetched the medicinal wine and applied it to Xie Yixin's hand, then massaged it, causing her to wince in pain: "Ouch... Brother Feng, be gentle!"

Ren Gaofeng snorted, "Now you know pain? What were you doing earlier? Truly, if you don't listen to Old Ren, you'll suffer in the end!"

Xie Yixin pouted, "Oh, Brother Feng, why are you so nagging, just like my dad? No wonder Xiaoliang and Jingjing want to live on campus."

"Slap!" Old Ren, looking displeased, slapped Xie Yixin's injured hand and said, "Done!"

"Ouch!" Xie Yixin cried out in pain, immediately covering her injured hand with her other hand and grumbled, "What's the matter? I was just telling the truth!"

Ren Gaofeng glared at her, "You're so talkative. No wonder Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie are busy finding you a husband!"

"I don't want to get married!" Xie Yixin pouted, "By the way, Brother Feng, you said Ferren is so skilled. How did he train? When he had me by the neck, I really thought I was going to die!"

Ren Gaofeng shook his head, "I don't know how he trained, but I can tell that he didn't use his full strength just now."

Xie Yixin's eyes lit up, and she fantasized, "If I could learn just half of his skills, I could dominate!"

"Are you thinking of apprenticing under Ferren?" Old Ren raised an eyebrow.

Xie Yixin lifted her chin, "Why not? A young and beautiful disciple like me is hard to find even with a lantern."

"Young? You're several years older than him!" Old Ren rolled his eyes. "I advise you to give up!"

"Why give up? I've made up my mind to apprentice under him!" Xie Yixin said, wrinkling her nose. "I'll find him tomorrow."

Ren Gaofeng had to remind her, "Hey, don't you remember the agreement before the match? You're not allowed to harass him during school hours!"

Xie Yixin argued, "I'm not harassing him. I'm asking him to be my master, which is a serious matter!"

Old Ren was speechless. As Xie Yixin was about to leave, he reminded her, "Remember, don't reveal your relationship with me."

"Got it, Brother Feng!" Xie Yixin replied brusquely and left.

The next day, when Xie Yixin excitedly approached Ferren, she was met with a cold response.

"Apprentice? Sorry, madam, I have no intention of taking on disciples!" Ferren said indifferently. "Also, you lied about having official business, but you came for personal reasons. I think you've already harassed me. It seems that these days, even what madams say can be dismissed."

"You..." Xie Yixin was speechless.

"If you have no other business, I need to go to class," Ferren said, completely ignoring Xie Yixin's reaction, and walked away calmly.

Xie Yixin didn't dare to chase after him. To be honest, after the battle in Old Ren's dorm, she both admired and feared Ferren, and even had a bit of a crush on him. Feeling that Ferren was a bit annoyed with her, she didn't want to give him a bad impression. She even honored the agreement and exempted Ferren from the firearms training course, for which she had to argue with the police academy leadership.

However, privately, Xie Yixin was quite resentful. Ferren didn't treat her like he did Ren Gaofeng. Why did Ren Gaofeng's exemption result in Ferren becoming his friend, while hers didn't?

Given this, Xie Yixin, who hadn't given up, decided to take an indirect approach and seek help from her father over the weekend. Unfortunately, before that, she had a very important matter to handle, or she might be transferred to a clerical position.

After all, the swelling in Xie Yixin's hand, which had been treated with medicinal wine twice, was starting to subside. However, when she woke up, she noticed bruising on her neck from where she had been choked, with several finger marks visible. If she didn't find a way to remove them, her sharp-eyed father would certainly notice.

Without Xie Yixin's harassment and with the firearms course exemption, Ferren's life became much easier and more pleasant. Over the past few years in the United States, he had absorbed two light orbs: "Proficiency in Computer Technology and Experience" and "Xuan Yuan Golden Bell Shield (Incomplete)." Now, there were only four light orbs left in Ferren's hidden ring, three of which were for life-saving in critical moments, and the fourth contained some miscellaneous knowledge, including some basic alien technology.

It's worth noting that the incomplete Xuan Yuan Golden Bell Shield, known as Xuan Jin Gong, was not created by Bodhidharma but was an ancient internal alchemy technique divided into twelve levels, classified as A-level in the cycle space. However, the Xuan Jin Gong that Ferren had exchanged for with an S-level ability only included the first two levels, making it the most incomplete. This is why it was listed in the exchange list by the main god, becoming one of many unranked miscellaneous techniques.

Ferren had chosen to exchange for this technique not only because it was the only incomplete version derived from an A-level technique but also because the first two levels, "Initial Birth of Dan Qi" and "Pulse Unblocking and Organ Protection," were quite useful for him.

Ferren needed to protect his organs. After all, for a normal person, muscle strength is higher than organ strength. Although the main god's six attributes were enhanced comprehensively, they were limited to 100 points. The body of the assassin "Ferren" did not have the same organ strength as his external muscles.

"Initial Birth of Dan Qi" translates to "Focusing on the Dantian and Inducing Qi Sensation." Ferren had completed this level last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unfortunately, after entering the second level, his technique remained stuck at "Pulse Unblocking and Organ Protection," and he could not achieve the state of protecting his organs with internal qi.

Without Xie Yixin's harassment and with the firearms course exemption, Ferren had much more free time. Whenever he had a moment, he would sit in his dorm and practice qi, enjoying a peaceful and quiet life. As for the chatterbox Yi Li, he rarely returned to the dorm before lights out, having figured out Ferren's temperament. When one has something to do or a goal, time flies by. The whole week passed in a blink, and on the weekend, Ferren, as usual, went to Ren Gaofeng's dorm to freeload on food and drinks.

Meanwhile, Xie Yixin returned to her home in the Mid-Level. It must be said that Xie Yixin's family background was indeed impressive. Her father was a key figure in the HK police force, and her mother was the chairwoman of a company worth nearly 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, they could afford a luxury villa in the Mid-Level, which, despite its value of over 50 million Hong Kong dollars and 400 square meters, was just a high-rise villa. However, the Mid-Level area was full of such high-rise luxury villas, making it a source of envy for most Hong Kong residents.

Since it was the weekend and her daughter was coming home, Xie Jiquan and Xie Songlizhen were both at home. As soon as Xie Yixin opened the door, her mother, who had been waiting in the living room, shouted, "Liu Mama, quickly bring Xie Yixin some lotus seed and silver ear soup!"

Xie Yixin quickly moved over and sat down next to her mother, saying, "Mom, you're so busy. I told you, you don't need to wait for me every weekend."

Songlizhen, with her dignified and beautiful appearance, had a slightly domineering aura. Hearing her daughter's words, she rarely showed a gentle smile, saying, "My dear, because I'm busy, I have to wait for you. Otherwise, I might not see my little girl for a whole month!"

Xie Yixin frowned, "Mom— I'm not a child anymore. Why do you still call me 'little girl'?"

"Good, good, my little girl has grown up and should get married!" Songlizhen covered her mouth and laughed.

Xie Yixin twisted her body, and for some reason, Ferren's handsome and cold face flashed in her mind, and she didn't argue about the marriage issue, which she usually found most annoying.

As the saying goes, a mother knows her daughter best. Songlizhen immediately sensed something was off and asked curiously, "Hey? Little girl, what's wrong with you today? You didn't oppose the talk of marriage. Do you have a crush on someone?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not listening to you!" Xie Yixin pouted and thought to herself, "We haven't even started, and I don't know what he thinks of me." Fortunately, she didn't know that Ferren's perception of her was no different from that of a passerby. If she did, she would have been furious.

"Ha, it seems my little girl really has a crush. Tell me, who is he?" Songlizhen's concern about her daughter's marriage suddenly increased.

"Mom, I told you, I don't have anyone. Why don't you believe me?" Xie Yixin started to change the subject, "By the way, where's Dad? I need to talk to him!"

At this moment, a deep male voice came from the stairs, "What's more important than my daughter's marriage?"
