PNB Chapter 220 Night Watch
Chapter 220 Night Watch
"No, we need to be on high alert tonight; we can't sleep."
After Fang Duobing finished speaking, his eyes swept over the group of people, trying to find someone willing to keep watch with him.
“I always stay alert in unfamiliar environments.” Di Feisheng said, and took the lead in leaving the kitchen, showing that he could stay awake, but he didn’t want to keep watch at night.
"It's better to believe in the existence of things than to believe in their non-existence. I still believe those people are ghosts. Nanfeng, my safety tonight is in your hands."
After Wu You finished speaking, he walked out. Whether it was a ghost or a person, it was absolutely impossible for him to keep watch at night.
"Yes, I will definitely protect my master's safety."
Nanfeng followed Wu You away, as she had other things to do and would choose someone else to keep watch.
"Then I'll leave the night watch to you. I'm going to sleep now. Anyway, I can't do anything while I'm awake. If anything happens, be quick-witted."
Seeing that Fang Duobing's gaze was fixed on her and then looked away, Li Lianhua quickly made an excuse to slip away.
"and many more."
Fang Duobing grabbed Li Lianhua's sleeve as she was about to leave. Meeting Li Lianhua's gaze, Fang Duobing quickly said something.
"I noticed you were able to distinguish the external martial arts styles of various schools at a glance when you were at the inn. Your martial arts skills are quite impressive. Don't pretend to be modest. Stay and give me some pointers. Maybe you can even protect me."
Fang Duobing: Staying behind to tell stories is one thing, but keeping watch with me at night is another.
"You mean this? I've just read a lot of books. If you really want to hear about all sorts of martial arts manuals, swords and knives, I'll recite them to you word for word in broad daylight. But now is really not the right time."
Li Lianhua used her other hand to pry Fang Duobing's hand away, but Fang Duobing was holding on too tightly, and she couldn't pry it off.
"But practicing martial arts, fighting, and protecting everyone's safety all depend on you. You're the best at that."
After Li Lianhua finished speaking, she slapped Fang Duobing hard. Fang Duobing felt the pain and quickly let go. Li Lianhua took the opportunity to leave the kitchen.
"You old fox, stop talking badly about me behind my back. So, Brother Lu—"
Fang Duobing shook his slightly aching hand while looking at the kitchen, which was spotless after he left.
Then he could only turn his attention to Lu Jianchi, who was standing at the very back, almost next to him, and hadn't had time to leave yet.
"Young Master Fang, I..."
Lu Jianchi: Don't look at me, I don't want to keep watch either. I've been running around for days and I've been wanting to rest for a long time.
"Brother Lu."
Fang Duobing stepped forward and took Lu Jianchi's arm, and the two walked out of the kitchen together.
"It's rare that we're so destined to meet, why not keep watch together tonight? I'm quite curious about the story of Brother Lu and Brother Jin. With the moonlight so beautiful tonight, why don't you tell me about it?"
"..."
Lu Jianchi: Oh no, I'm sleepy and a little hungry.
"I've brought some flatbread in my baggage. Let's bake it together and eat it. We can't use the water here easily. Brother Lu has some wine on him, so we can enjoy it together?"
"I--"
Lu Jianchi: That's a good idea.
"Brother Lu, one more night won't make a difference. Just imagine, under the hazy moonlight, with fine wine, delicious food, and stories of the martial world, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Shouldn't we invite Doctor Li, Miss Wu You, and the two guards over for a meal?"
"They'll come and eat when they're hungry, let's ignore them for now. Come on, let's see where we can bake some flatbread?"
Fang Duobing thus found himself a night watchman.
