Despite Ye Fan's years of training, he was no match for Li Hong.
Before long, Li Hong caught up from behind.
"I-I don't like men; there's no use in looking for me," Ye Fan said, feeling annoyed. This guy was like a GPS, impossible to shake off.
The most frustrating part was that this clingy person just wouldn't let him go!
Did he really seem like the type to be pursued?
"Wait, don't misunderstand! My relationship with Old Wang is completely innocent," Li Hong said, sounding quite aggrieved.
"Alright, alright, I believe you. Can I go home now? Goodbye!" Ye Fan quickly pleaded as he tried to excuse himself.
He certainly didn't want to be labeled as Bro by someone like Li Hong, who clearly wasn't normal. He naturally wanted to keep his distance.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan hurriedly ran towards his home.
At the empty alleyway, only Li Hong stood there alone, feeling utterly helpless.
"Damn it, this opening doesn't seem right!"
What should he do about being mistaken for gay and a bottom?
Of course, he had to confront it head-on!
So, Li Hong followed in Ye Fan's footsteps and arrived at his house.
He had to admit that despite Ye Fan's unremarkable appearance, he was quite wealthy.
The large villa stood alone in a corner of the old city district, with a shiny luxury car parked in the garage.
Even the garden at the entrance was planted with some rare flowers.
"Isn't he just a waste of space?" Li Hong thought, feeling a bit uneasy about the situation.
Ye Fan seemed to be quite wealthy, yet he was so low-key when going out. It was truly perplexing.
Of course, Li Hong couldn't fathom the mindset of a Rich Gamer like Ye Fan.
Some people wore cheap clothes but sported a Patek Philippe watch. Others still used an old iPhone 4 but had splurged on a signed Gibson electric guitar.
So, don't measure others' capabilities with your own values; what you think is impressive might not interest them at all.
Just like Li Hong, who was now swallowing hard. Did you really think he was broke?
Yes, Li Hong was indeed broke.
"…"
Ye Fan chose to ignore Li Hong and opened the door to his room, slamming it shut behind him.
After changing his shoes and stepping into the living room, he poured himself a glass of water and rubbed his forehead.
Damn it, Qianqian wasn't around, and he got tangled up with some guy. What a stroke of bad luck today.
Fortunately, his home security was tight; unless something unexpected happened, that guy wouldn't be able to get in.
"Sigh, what bad luck…"
Ye Fan muttered to himself as he picked up the Huangdi Neijing and headed toward his room.
Bang!
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Hong lying on his bed, posing provocatively.
“……”
“What the hell, how did you get in here?” Ye Fan couldn't help but curse, his usually calm demeanor completely forgotten.
The scene before him was simply too shocking. He had clearly locked that annoying bastard outside, yet somehow, that repulsive guy had managed to crawl into his bed without him noticing!
Li Hong smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes and casually replied, “With a door like yours, it would be a miracle if it could keep me out.”
“……”
Ye Fan felt it was time to invest in a steel door.
However, Li Hong's nonchalant attitude about sneaking into someone else's home only fueled Ye Fan's anger.
This was his house! How dare this outsider sneak in and challenge the owner?
Not wanting to engage with this crazy bastard any further, Ye Fan directly dialed the Tailored Man's number.
“Hello, I want to report a break-in. Someone has entered my home. Yes, I tried to stop him, but it didn’t work…”
As Ye Fan spoke to the operator on the other end, he kept an eye on Li Hong’s reaction.
That was until he saw Li Hong smiling as he twisted the steel ornament on the bedside into a round ball, then stretched it into a long strip.
“Okay, please provide your name, ID number, and address. We’ll be there shortly!”
“You… you don’t need to come anymore. I don’t need it…” Ye Fan said in a daze to the operator.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan stepped closer to Li Hong and picked up the ornament that had been so ruthlessly mangled.
What was once a goldfish-shaped ornament now resembled a twisted strip.
"What's this..." Ye Fan was shocked. This was no ordinary material; it was forged from fine steel.
There was no way to bend it like that with just his hands. Even a cutting machine might not be able to slice it in half in one go.
But what did he just witness?
Li Hong, an ordinary person, was casually playing with something like this as if it were dough.
"Is it strange?" Li Hong asked with a smile.
Ye Fan's eyes flickered. He had read classical literature extensively and firmly believed in the ancient Qi practitioners described in the Huangdi Neijing Suwen.
However, he had never encountered anything supernatural, which left him feeling perplexed.
Until Li Hong appeared.
"Are you an Ancient Qi Master?" Ye Fan asked, staring intently at Li Hong, his voice slightly hurried.
Ancient Qi Master?
Li Hong, who had no knowledge of such things, expressed that he completely did not understand what Ye Fan was talking about.
"What is that? Is it stronger than an Archmage?"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Archmage? Why is there something from the West involved?"
After some back-and-forth discussion where they seemed to be speaking different languages, they finally understood each other's meanings.
"So, you're not an Ancient Qi Master then," Ye Fan said, somewhat disappointed.
He had always yearned for that mysterious existence. Learning that Li Hong was not what he had hoped for naturally left him feeling let down.
“Ancient Qi Master? Could this be the breakthrough point?” Li Hong pondered.
After the 404 incident, a passage to the Advanced World appeared in this realm, which was precisely his objective.
The reason he shamelessly attached himself to Ye Fan was to gather more information.
Unexpectedly, just upon contact, he stumbled upon a piece of invaluable news.
Ancient Qi Master!
This title clearly belonged to the Advanced World. The world Ye Fan inhabited was merely an Ordinary World similar to Blue Star, making the emergence of such a thing highly suspicious!
“Is there any information about that Ancient Qi Master?” Li Hong asked, putting on a bold face.
At this moment, Ye Fan had also set aside their previous unpleasantness. The fact that Li Hong showed interest in the Ancient Qi Master made him feel as if he had found a kindred spirit.
“People from ancient times lived for over a hundred years during the Spring and Autumn periods, yet their vitality remained undiminished…” Ye Fan began sharing his understanding of the ancient era with Li Hong.
Li Hong listened intently, even more seriously than when he wrote love letters to his female classmates.
After all, this was the key to breaking the deadlock. Without finding that mysterious passage, he could not complete his mission, let alone leave this world.
Thus, Li Hong had to listen carefully no matter what.
Information about ancient times was scarce. Therefore, it didn’t take long for Ye Fan to finish his account.
Li Hong furrowed his brows. Although this world was extremely similar to his own, there were still some differences.
For instance, their planet was called Blue Star. Here, they referred to it as Earth.
As for why one planet would be called a sphere, Li Hong had no idea.
In his world, the Ugly Nation had transformed into the United States. The Eagle Nation had become the British Empire.
Well, there were still many differences.
The ancient era that Ye Fan referred to, including historical texts like the Huangdi Neijing, did not exist in Li Hong's world.
Therefore, Li Hong could not even begin to guess whether this ancient era could be considered a Fantasy Xianxia world.
However, based on Ye Fan's sensational speculation, Li Hong had gained some confidence.
The ancient era that Ye Fan spoke of was most likely the Advanced World beyond that passage.
In other words, the path leading to the ancient era was essentially his current objective.
