Chapter 172 Gao Fei Has a Pupil (1/2)

”Zhan Hongyan, you can tell me now, since we have gone this far.”

Xiao Bing was curious about what Zhan Honyan wanted to tell him. In truth, she hadn't done anything for him since she swore her fealty to him. However, as the saying goes, ”soldiers are trained for a thousand days just to fight one war”. So Xiao Bing did not urge Zhan Hongyan to prove her loyalty. She would be needed when he fought the Long family or even Master Hou. Although Master Hou was his ally now, the future was always uncertain.

Staring at Xiao Bing, Zhan Hongyan asked gravely, ”Brother Bing, can you do me a favor? Because I know Mr. Gao is one of yours.”

”Gao Fei?” Xiao Bing remembered the prudence Zhan Hongyan had whenever she mentioned Gao Fei. She seemed to be afraid of him. He wondered what this had to do with Gao Fei. ”Tell me about it. I'll see what I can do,” he replied, smiling.

”Thank you.” Zhan Hongyan continued with sternness, ”Can you ask him to take me as his pupil?”

”Take you as his pupil?” Xiao Bing gasped and then he suddenly understood the reason why she always appeared terrified when she was with Gao Fei, while others would just feel uncomfortable. It was because she was once an assassin. She knew the intention of killing on Gao Fei was so intense. That was why she was always in awe of this man and even wanted to learn from him.

Gao Fei was an unfathomable killer. He could kill men before they even saw him coming. Even Xiao Bing himself was shocked when seeing how Gao Fei slaughtered his enemies. Gao Fei did not make any extra movements and the wounds on his dead enemies were invisible to the eye. Xiao Bing did not even find any trace of a struggle on their corpses, which made Gao Fei's fashion of killing very intriguing.

Sometimes, Xiao Bing even wanted to find out Gao Fei's true might by challenging him. But his senses warned him that he was still probably no match for Gao Fei.

”I'll try to do that for you,” answered Xiao Bing with a smile on his face.

”Really?” Zhan Hongyan sounded excited.

”Of course. You are mine now. The stronger you are, the better it will be for you to do things for me.”

Upon seeing Zhan Hongyan so excited, Xiao Bing suddenly put on a faint smile and asked, ”But I'm so curious. You are not afraid of him anymore? I see you hiding from him all the time.”

”I'm still afraid of him.” Zhan Hongyan sounded slightly embarrassed. ”The intention of killing on him is dense. The apathy in his eyes even frightens me, a woman who used be an assassin. But I want to be stronger, and only he is able to help me with that. ”Brother Bing, actually you're as strong as him, otherwise you could not have killed blood-drinking Jim. But your path is different from his. I will benefit a lot from him...”

Xiao Bing nodded and smiled. ”I understand. Although I can't guarentee you that he'll 100 percent take you as his student, I will try my best to convince him.

”Anyway, I owe you a big favor.”

The moment Xiao Bing and Zhan Hongyan stepped back into the noodle house they found Maggie giggling. Though Maggie was a just little girl, she was so smart that even Xiao Bing could not figure out what was inside her weird brain. ”Maggie, would you mind if I asked your brother to go out and have a talk with him?”

Maggie replied with her cute voice, ”Of course. Why should I forbid it?”

Xiao Bing began having his dinner after Wang Guifang served the dishes. After he finished, he went out with Gao Fei and told him about Zhang Hongyan's wish.

Apathy still remained on his face after Gao Fei heard about Zhan Hongyan's wish. ”It's true that I'm your boss now. But that doesn't mean that you need to do everything I ask of you. Teaching others is not one of your job responsibilities, so I won't force you. It's all up to you,” said Xiao Bing sternly.

”I know.” Gao Fei snorted, ”She's poorly endowed in the wisdom of killing. She's not worthy of knowledge...”

Xiao Bing instantly realized that Gao Fei would most likely not agree. Xiao Bing could not force him to do so, as he had said himself. But he truly wanted to do Zhan Hongyan this favor. It was not merely for her, but also for himself.

However, quite to his surprise, Gao Fei spoke in another tone. ”But I'm bored when I have nothing to do. I can give her some advice when I have time.”

A smile touched Xiao Bing's lips. It basically wasn't different from taking her as his student. It was just that Gao Fei would not call the woman his student. But Zhan Hongyan would definitely be enraptured if she knew this.

While Xiao Bing intended to go back, Gao Fei suddenly asked, ”You are interested in my true strength, aren't you?”

Xiao Bing had not expected Gao Fei to ask this question. ”You could say that,” he answered, smiling.

”I will not tell you about it, just like how you disguise your true power,” said Gao Fei slowly while fixing his eyes on Xiao Bing.
