Chapter 103 - An Unexpected Encounter

“Oh?” Xue Tian’s laughter pulled Qin Fen out of his thoughts. Qin Fen didn’t know what to say to Xue Tian for a time.

“This is what a big bro mercenary said before. A super cool big bro!” Xue Tian gave a thumbs up. An expression of praise-filled his face. “It was because of him that I have a dream in life. And that is to become the coolest mercenary! I want to be able to stand before him and say, ‘Thank-you big bro!’ That’s right! I think his last name is also Qin. You two may even be related.”

As Xue Tian joked around, Qin Fen’s expression changed greatly. He stared straight at Xue Tian. “What’s his name?”

“I don’t know his full name.” Xue Tian spread his hands helplessly. “However, a team member calls him Big Bro Zhan.”

Qin Fen was stupefied. Even Butcher, Squad Leader Hao, and the others weren’t able to find any information about his older brother, yet this recruit had very likely met Qin Zhan before.

“Where is he right now?” Qin Fen grabbed Xue Tian a bit anxiously. “Where is he?”

“Ouch!” Xue Tian grimaced. “I don’t know. That was many years ago when I went to Jupiter for travel. I bumped into him unexpectedly.”

Jupiter? Qin Fen’s brother might have appeared in Jupiter? Qin Fen slowly loosened his grip on Xue Tian’s shoulder.

“Hey, you guys can’t really be related, right?” Xue Tian studied Qin Fen for quite a while before he simply said, “If you want to find this person, why don’t you wait until after leaving the military. You and I can become mercenaries together! If he’s still a mercenary, we may be able to meet him when we make a name for ourselves in the mercenary world! What do you think? We have the brains and skills that other fellows don’t have! Let’s become mercenaries together in the future!”

“I’ll think about it.” Qin Fen slowly nodded once more. Right now he didn’t need to give a hurried answer. There was quite some time before retiring from the military. If he leaked this information to Butcher and the others, perhaps they could utilize their connections to quickly find his older brother.

The elevator’s door opened at this time, and the two men switched to another elevator.

When the normal elevator’s doors opened, the two walked out and Xue Tian whispered. “Your marksmanship is quite decent. Let’s swap pointers when you have the chance. It seems like you are a bit interested in my net as well, right? If you want, we can talk about it for a bit.”

“Okay!” Qin Fen responded very crisply this time. Whether it was Butcher, Gun King, or the others, none of them prohibited Qin Fen from teaching others the skills he learned. As long as Qin Fen felt someone was worthy of teaching, all his teachers wouldn’t disapprove.

“But, what about your master…?” Qin Fen was a bit suspicious about Xue Tian’s master. The modern era had seen rapid development in science and technology, but people’s thoughts haven’t developed as rapidly as science and technology. It was a world where the thought of ‘what is yours is mine and what is mine is yours’ wasn’t completely prevalent.

It was a world that still believed, ‘What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine!’

“My master? He actually wants to find more disciples.” Xue Tian beamed as he stretched his body. “He gets annoyed by looking at how lazy I am as his disciple, but he gets even more annoyed from seeing other people who want to learn skills from him. He actually told me once that my strength of vision is not lacking when compared to the others. Whoever I find pleasing to the eye, he too will also find pleasing to the eye.”

Qin Fen was a bit puzzled. It hadn’t been long since he’s known Xue Tian. What was the basis for Xue Tian thinking he was pleasing to the eye?

“Relax, dude.” Xue Tian patted Qin Fen on the bat. “You said those things when you sniped the terrorist that day. Being able to say them means you shouldn’t be a bad person.”

Say those things? A flashbulb went off in Qin Fen’s mind. He had said some words in extreme anger back then.

The two had already walked out of the hall during their chatter. They arrived to a bustling street.

Qin Fen took out a second-hand cell phone, which he bought on the Internet flea market. He quickly dialed Song Jia’s number. For someone who hadn’t truly experienced love, buying a gift was quite a headache. It would be best to consult Song Jia if possible.

“Hey, hello! This is Song Jia.”

Song Jia’s voice came crisply and clearly out of the phone. It sounded like she was in a good mood.

Only then did Qin Fen slowly open his mouth and say, “It’s me, Qin Fen….”

“Oh! You bought a cell phone?” Song Jia’s delighted voice contained a bit of shock.

“Yes, for easy contact.”

“Easy contact? With me?” Song Jia’s shy voice was filled with expectation.

“Yeah.” Qin Fen answered. “To make getting in touch with you, Qiangster, and Old Enz easier.”

“….” Song Jia was silent for a moment before she said, “I’m barely pleased.”

Qin Fen laughed. Song Jia merely had a sharp tongue. Her ‘barely pleased’ shouldn’t be much different from ‘very pleased.’

“Actually, here’s the thing.” Qin Fen shifted the topic back on track. “I’m carrying out a small secret mission, so right now I’m in the State of Korea, which I heard has a very flourishing entertainment industry. I just so happen to have two days of vacation to take a look around and have some fun. I want to ask what kind of gifts you like….”

A gift? Song Jia’s smile was the brightest it had ever been before. The classmates who stood near her gazed at Song Jia in great shock. What was up with this Lady Song, who always responded by saying she was displeased or very pleased, today? Even if she won the lottery, her smile wouldn’t be this bright, right?

Song Jia was very happy. She was truly very happy. For someone of Qin Fen’s personality, to think about buying someone a gift while out on a mission meant that the gift recipient held a very important spot within his heart.

He’s carrying out a mission? Song Jia was suddenly stunned. Just how long had it been since Qin Fen joined the military? He was a standard recruit among recruits. How was he dispatched to a mission?

Though she was a bit worried and curious, Song Jia felt very proud of Qin Fen. To be able to take part in a mission as a recruit, no wonder she took a fancy in him…

She could feel her tender face heat up. Song Jia didn’t ask Qin Fen what kind of mission he was carrying out. Such things were typically secret. She didn’t want Qin Fen to undergo discipline because of her own talkative mouth.

“Where are you in the State of Korea right now?” Song Jia changed the topic.

“Seoul.” Qin Fen responded very straightforwardly. Song Jia should know more about the popular items in Seoul than he. It was best for her to recommend where to go.

“Seoul? You’re in Seoul?” Song Jia’s voice increased in tone. “Are you on vacation right now?”

“Yeah.” Qin Fen was a bit baffled. What was so surprising about Seoul?

“I’m at Seoul right now too!”

Song Jia’s answer temporarily stupefied Qin Fen. Shouldn’t she be in school? Why was she in Seoul today? Today wasn’t Sunday. It was Saturday! There was still school on Saturday.

“But I’m in Seoul because Enzo Rota and Qiangster are also in Seoul.” Song Jia raised her head to look into the sky in delight. “Where are you right now? I’ll come look for you.”

Qin Fen laughed. Song Jia’s character hadn’t changed one bit. She didn’t ask at all whether or not it was convenient to meet. She simply and decisively did what she wanted.

“I’m with a friend right now.” Qin Fen said, “We’ll probably come together.”

“Really?” Song Jia said, “Then come together. Oh right, is it a guy or a girl?”

She’s asking if my friend is a guy or a girl? Qin Fen didn’t know whether to be proud or feel some other emotion. According to Lin Liqiang, a woman wouldn’t have a fancy toward a man if she wasn’t concerned about whether or not the company the man was with was a girl or a guy. While in the opposite case, the man would be very important to her!

Though they grew up in different environments, Song Jia was still a girl in the end. Even if she was an intelligent girl, she too would become sensitive to this problem. The only case otherwise would be if she wasn’t interested in the man in question.

“He’s a guy.” Qin Fen still responded.

“That’s good! What’s your location!”

“Lotte Hotel World….”

“The one on Jamsil Road?” Song Jia’s voice clearly increased with excitement.

Qin Fen could tell that Song Jia was excited. He subconsciously asked, “You’re at this hotel too?”

“Yeah! Report your location!”

Song Jia’s answer made Qin Fen recall a saying. Being brought together from a thousand miles thanks to fate.

“I’m at the main entrance….”

“Wait there!”

She hung up the phone, and Qin Fen was a bit stupefied as he held his cell phone. He didn’t even have the chance to ask questions of his own. Lin Liqiang, this loafer, had been everywhere before. While Old Qin was clearly someone who wouldn’t run over to the State of Korea’s Seoul for no reason. Why did all of them come?

Xue Tian had ducked a dozen meters away since Qin Fen started his call. He returned back to Qin Fen’s side. “Done with your call? Where are we going now?”

Qin Fen smiled. Xue Tian could easily hear Qin Fen’s phone conversation if he wanted to, especially since Qin Fen didn’t encrypt it. Xue Tian’s question was extremely sincere. Clearly, he gave proper respect to private matters.

“Wait a moment. I have a friend who happens to be nearby.”

“Oh really? What a coincidence.” Xue Tian started to gossip. “Is it a guy or a girl? Is it Lin Jiaxuan?”

“Who’s Lin Jiaxuan?” As Song Jia opened the door and came out, the smile on her face instantly turned into vigilance.

“A female soldier.” Qin Fen turned around very calmly. “I think she’s in the Air Force.”

The calm expression and the eyes without any guilt caused Song Jia’s vigilant expression to quickly lessen. She studied Xue Tian, “So you’re the friend that Qin Fen talked about?”

Xue Tian straightened his chest, his posture suddenly becoming tall and straight. A manly, masculine aura arose spontaneously from his body. “That’s right! I am none other than Qin Fen’s friend, Beauty.”

Xue Tian answered Song Jia’s question, but his gaze didn’t linger on Song Jia’s body for too long. He studied the expressions of everyone behind Song Jia.

These young ladies had an air of purity and delicateness on their bodies, but their faces carried shock. Someone who made Song Jia this fired up to run over and meet actually had such ordinary looks. If there were any special characteristics to speak of, one could say that his body exuded a firmness akin to rock. He was an existence at the opposite spectrum compared to the pretty boys popular in entertainment today.

A few of the guys who followed behind looked at Qin Fen with gazes filled with hostility. Their eyes said something like, ‘What do you have that can make Song Jia rush this urgently to meet you?’

Three neo martial artists and two paleo martial artists that all have some fire in them. Not bad! Not bad! Xue Tian quickly surmised the likely martial arts developmental path of the five guys from their gait and stance as they walked over.

“Why has Qiangster come to Seoul? And why the heck is Old Enz here too? Where are they?” Qin Fen asked the series of questions he hadn’t been able to ask in time on the phone.

“You can ask them when you see them. You’re not even asking how I’ve been….”
