Chapter 118: Nanyue

  "This is all I'm capable of, a clever beauty like you, I definitely can't deceive."

  Gathering his belongings, Zhou Fan prepared to leave this Miao village.

  "No way, I've come all this way, you have to listen to a few words from me."

  While speaking, Ning Xue Tian followed up.

  "Girl, why are you following me for no reason?"

  Another annoying person came, Zhou Fan was scared.

  "No way, you go your way, I'll go mine, what's there to follow?"

  Ning Xue would rather die than admit it.

  "Alright then, you go first."

  Zhou Fan made a "please" gesture. Ning Xuetian felt somewhat embarrassed but didn't move her feet, just staring at Zhou Fan.

  "Alright, you don't leave, I'll leave."

  After finishing speaking, Zhou Fan directly flashed away.

  Unfortunately, Ning Xue Tian was just like Yang Meng Xue, following him everywhere he went.

  "Alas, I said sister, what do you want to do?"

  With an oil bottle in hand, Zhou Fan was depressed.

  Is it because I'm so handsome that wherever I go, there's a bunch of girls following me? Of course, this kind of peach blossom is better. However, the damn innate skill manual records that if the kung fu hasn't been practiced to perfection, one cannot... This also made Zhou Fan put away his lustful thoughts, he was afraid that if he couldn't control himself, it would be disastrous.

  "There's nothing else to do, just a few questions to ask you, and after asking, I'll leave."

  "Really?"

  Zhou Fan had some doubts.

  If he still follows himself for a few more months, then this trip will be in vain.

  "Of course."

  Ning Xue Tian nodded.

  "Alright, I believe you. What do you want to ask?"

  "I want to ask, how did you know there would be a conflict in the Middle East? Don't tell me, you just came back from the Middle East."

  As for Zhou Fan's nonsense about ancient wisdom, Ning Xuetian was clearly skeptical.

  "It's also very simple, the situation in the Middle East has always been unstable. Plus, a large area of land is desert, and apart from oil, they have nothing. Inherently, there is a possibility of conflict."

  "That doesn't mean he's about to erupt into war anytime soon."

  This world has more unstable places in local areas, not just the Middle East.

  "This is indeed the case, but now the price of crude oil has risen to $50 a barrel. Before that, it was only around $30 at most. This is so unusual, isn't there something fishy going on? So, I think that the reason for this huge surge in oil prices must be some problem emerging from the Middle East."

  "Well, although there's some forcing, it can also be said to pass."

  Ning Xue Tian nodded slightly.

  "But he still asked, 'So, do you think crude oil will continue to surge?'"

  After the sharp drop in crude oil prices, rumors of a conflict in the Middle East quickly spread through the market, causing oil prices to surge again. This also allowed Century Investment to reap huge profits from the rebound in oil prices. However, Ning Xuetian suspended the trading privileges of the chief trader and no longer allowed him to trade.

  "Maybe in the future, but after a short-term surge, it will cool down quickly. I think that within a week, the price of crude oil will plummet. If your company continues to buy on the rise, I estimate that there will be several more who will jump off the building."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Whether you believe it or not, it's all nonsense anyway."

  "Alright then, see you next time."

  Having gotten Zhou Fan's answer, Ning Xuetian lightly laughed and left.

  "See you next time, see a ghost, brother won't see you."

  He thought for a moment and then prepared to go to some places with fewer people.

  When the time comes, he will see how this girl can find him.

  ……

  Southern Vietnam

  Nanyue is not Vietnam, but rather near the border of China and Vietnam.

  It is precisely because of its proximity to the border that the situation in Nanyue is extremely chaotic. Outsiders claim that this is a place where no one is in charge.

  Zhou Fan had long been known to South Vietnam, where he heard that there were often smuggled goods, violent conflicts, and many things that you rarely see in this world. However, Zhou Fan still came to South Vietnam. Although he knew that this was not a place for an individual to stay alone.

  A box of rice.

  As expected, upon entering South Vietnam, many people around him looked at Zhou Fan with unusual eyes. As for this, Zhou Fan didn't mind it anymore. He just came here to take a look and didn't plan on staying for long. Besides, even if he were to stay here for a long time, who would be afraid of him with his own skills?

  "Hey kid, you're from inland, right?"

  An old man looked at Zhou Fan with some concern.

  "Yes, come here for tourism."

  Zhou Fan received the boxed meal and replied.

  "Oh dear, young man, this isn't a good place for tourism, I think you'd better go back."

  "You've come all this way, and besides, uncle, aren't you doing the same thing?"

  The old man shook his head, "Young fellow, you don't know how dangerous it is here. I've lived here since I was a kid, but you're just an outsider, I'm afraid..."

  "Don't worry, uncle, I definitely won't die, really, when I come back, I'll still come to say hello to you."

  While eating his boxed lunch, Zhou Fan said.

  *sigh*

  Seeing Zhou Fan's fearless appearance, Uncle could only sigh.

  "The air is pretty good here, let's choose this place."

  After eating the boxed meal, Zhou Fan took out a map and continued on his way.

  Unexpectedly, I saw a small river halfway through.

  The river water is clear and visible to the bottom, and you can see fish swimming in the water. In addition, many birds fly over.

  At first glance, Zhou Fan immediately fell in love with this place.

  Who would have thought that this place, which has brought shame to the entire Chinese nation, could be so breathtakingly beautiful.

  Zhou Fan found a stone and sat down.

  Holding his guitar, Zhou Fan suddenly felt a surge of inspiration and began singing softly as he gazed at the fish swimming in the water.

  As for what he was singing, it wasn't within Zhou Fan's consideration. At times like these, Zhou Fan himself didn't even know what he was singing. He would often see something, feel something, and then sing about that. It was as if he were a fish in the water, probably now singing about those fish. Maybe, there was also the person watching the fish.

  "Can fish hear the song I'm singing?"

  At some point, Zhou Fan, who was playing and singing at the same time, had such an idea.

  When such an idea came out, Zhou Fan couldn't help but smile.

  "Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan, you're really out of this world! What's the difference between this and playing a lute to a cow?"

  In fact, fish can hear Zhou Fan singing, but what Zhou Fan is singing, the fish definitely don't know.

  This was originally a very normal truth, but Zhou Fan still shook his head.

  All things in heaven and earth have a spiritual nature, so why can't the fish hear his song?

  With something on his mind, Zhou Fan continued playing.

  However, this time Zhou Fan changed the rhythm of plucking, becoming gentle.

  Ancient people once said, what is the softest thing in the world? The answer is water.

  The highest good is like water. The best of men are like water.

  In this world, nothing is softer than water.

  In this small river, the water drips and flows slowly.

  These sounds are so rich in melody.

  According to the sound of the river flowing, Zhou Fan joined in with the guitar sound. Slowly, what Zhou Fan plucked out also became more and more like flowing water.

  Gurgling, continuous flowing, this is the sound of river water passing by.

  Drip, drip...... This is the sound of fish bubbling up.

  Chirping... This is the sound of flying birds.

  ……

  Apart from these, there is also the sound of a gentle breeze brushing against one's face and rustling one's sleeves.

  These sounds intertwined together formed the most wonderful melody of nature.

  "What a beautiful melody."

  Suddenly, Zhou Fan became infatuated with it.

  At this time, even the world's top musicians may not be able to produce such a beautiful piece of music.

  This is the sound of nature, this is the music composed by nature with its soul.

  It's laughable, with so many human songs being like filling in the blanks with sickly sighs. If one could incorporate even a fraction of nature's melodies into their own song, then that song would become a classic, passed down for thousands of years.

  Like this, Zhou Fan was enlightened while continuing to sing and play.

  At some point, the birds seemed to have also heard Zhou Fan's voice and were circling continuously above him.

  Even fish at this time are constantly jumping through the dragon gate.

  Perhaps they also want to take a look at that beautiful sound, which is emitted by which immortal.

  But there's always someone who disrupts this natural beauty.

  "Hey kid, did you see someone with a leg injury pass by here just now?"

  Suddenly three people jumped out from somewhere and asked Zhou Fan.

  "Breathe!"

  Zhou Fan made a silencing gesture with his hand, indicating that they shouldn't disturb the beautiful sound in front of them.

  "Shut up... just say it already."

  Among the three of them, a bald man with a scar on his face let out a loud roar, clearly enraged.

  But it's just a call like this.

  The birds in the sky have flown away, and the fish in the small river don't know where they've gone either.

  Even the sound of the river water flowing, Zhou Fan felt that it had changed into a rhythmic beat.

  "What a pity."

  Shook his head.

  What a pity! It's really a pity.

  He knew he couldn't enter this state at all times.

  "Apologize."

  He's really annoying, disturbing himself singing is one thing, but he actually disturbed the fish sister and bird beauty that he had finally hooked up with.

  Almost, Zhou Fan thought of directly eliminating these three.

  Fortunately, I endured it and told myself to calm down, calm down a bit.

  "Apologize?"

  The three of them were stunned, "This kid can't be an idiot, right?"

  "I'm asking you, have you seen anyone come here?"

  One of them asked again.

  "I'm saying it again, apologize."

  Zhou Fan was furious. These guys actually ignored what he said and had no face at all.

  "Alright, I'll say it, I'll say it..."

  One of them seemed to have been driven mad by Zhou Fan and punched him.

  "Ah..."

  A loud cry of pain, the two people on the side thought it was the young man's cry. Unexpectedly, in a flash, they saw their companion holding his hand, falling to the ground, writhing in agony.

  "You..."

  The two were shocked and angry, although they didn't know what kind of evil thing Zhou Fan was up to. But they thought that Zhou Fan had just pretended to be a pig in order to eat the tiger.

  The sharp knife in his hand silently pierced Zhou Fan's heart.

  "The land of Nam Viet is indeed where human life is as cheap as grass and dogs."

  At odds over one word, they would take their own lives.

  Zhou Fan let out a cold snort, his right hand lightly grasping and twisting, and the two sharp knives were taken away from him.

  Bang, bang, two more shots rang out, and the two men fell to the ground just like their companions.

  Just then, the first thug who had fallen to the ground suddenly pulled out a handgun.

  "Get lost, kid."

  As he spoke, he fired a shot at Zhou Fan.

  At such a close distance, even if Zhou Fan was an expert, he would still be done for.
