Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Wow, Van, don't you think you're being a bit too much?" Li Feng exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.

  "Wow, Uncle, you're so cool!" Ye Zi exclaimed, seemingly not worried at all that Ning Fan would be in danger.

  The eighteen sons were all staring at each other, and they saw a thread of annoyance in each other's eyes. Apparently, in their opinion, Ning Fang was despising them, and it could even be said that he was humiliating them. This was also too contemptuous!

  "Are you sure about this?" someone finally spoke up and said.

  "If you can knock me down, then I'm not qualified to be your instructor. But if you are defeated by me, I hope that in the next three months, no matter what I say, you will do it." Ning Fan said calmly: "We don't have much time, if you don't cooperate, I won't be able to guarantee a significant improvement in your strength."

  "Don't waste any more time, whatever Van says, you do it, hurry up!" Li Feng urged at this moment.

  "Leaf, Crazy, you guys make some space." Ning Fan said again.

  "Come on, uncle! Beat them!" Yezi was very obedient and ran far away immediately. Li Feng naturally also retreated, he didn't want to get beaten up.

  The eighteen sons looked at each other again, and finally Li spoke up: "Ninth sister, you go first."

  "Uh-huh." Jiǔ Mèi was naturally Li Jiǔ. Among the eighteen children, her strength wasn't the strongest, nor was it the weakest. Plus, she was a woman, so she took the initiative to act first, and everyone thought it was quite suitable.

  The next second, Jiu Mei was like a mother leopard coming down the mountain, and she suddenly rushed towards Ning Fang. As she approached Ning Fang, she suddenly threw out a punch, straight at Ning Fang's cheek!

  Jiǔ mèi's attack made the other people in the Eighteen Sons quite excited, but their eyes also had a hint of disdain. Of course, this disdain was clearly directed at Ning Fang, because they discovered that Ning Fang seemed to have not noticed Jiǔ mèi's attack and was still standing there without moving.

  Just as Jiū Mèi's fist was about to make intimate contact with Ning Fang's cheek, Ning Fang suddenly raised his hand and used his palm to block Jiū Mèi's fist. At this moment, Jiū Mèi's fist was less than ten centimeters away from Ning Fang's cheek, but it could no longer advance even half a step.

  Jiū Mèi's face changed slightly, her left knee suddenly lifted and heavily struck towards Ning Fán's abdomen. However, Ning Fán didn't dodge or evade, he only used a bit of force to push with his left palm, causing Jiū Mèi's body to involuntarily fall backwards. She hastily withdrew her left knee, stumbling and retreating several steps before barely managing to steady herself.

  "You all come together." Ning Fan said calmly.

  Two cold hums sounded, and two men rushed towards Ning Fang at the same time. One of them threw a punch, while the other kicked his foot. However, Ning Fang remained standing in place, neither dodging nor avoiding, and also threw a punch and kicked his foot. The fists collided, and the feet clashed, but Ning Fang didn't budge. Those two men, on the other hand, retreated with a thud, one of them even sitting down on the ground with a thump.

  At this point, the faces of the eighteen sons finally became serious, it seems that this instructor is indeed extraordinary.

  "Let's go together!" Li Yi finally spoke up.

  With this sentence, the eighteen sons quickly formed a circle around Ning Fang, surrounding him in the middle. Then, from all sides, they rushed towards Ning Fang at the same time.

  "Come on, Uncle!" Yezi cheered for Ningfan from a distance.

  "Uh!"

  "Hmm!"

  "Boom!"

  Groans and dull thuds, the sound of bodies hitting the ground, kept ringing out. In less than a minute, all eighteen men had fallen to the ground, while Ning Fan remained standing in place, never having left!

  "Awesome, Van is a super master!" Li Feng's eyes lit up, looking even more excited.

  "You can use your weapons." Ning Fang's voice rang out, his tone completely normal, as if he wasn't even breaking a sweat.

  The eighteen sons were stunned again, but a look of shame began to appear on their faces. The opponent was still standing there with his eyes closed, and he had defeated all eighteen of them so easily. This gap was really too big.

  Jiǔ mèi tūrán tōu tōu ná chū yī bǎ xiǎo dāo, yòng xún wèn de yǎn shén kàn xiàng Lǐ Yī.

  Translation:

  Ninth sister suddenly took out a small knife and looked at Li Yi with questioning eyes.

  Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stretched out one finger, indicating that this was the last time.

  Jiū mèi suddenly raised her hand, and the small knife flew towards Ning Fan. At this moment, Jiū mèi was standing behind Ning Fan, which means that the flying knife was heading straight for the back of Ning Fan's head.

  The flying knife was approaching Ning Fang, and Ning Fang seemed to be still unaware of it. Ye Zi opened his mouth to shout, but Jiu Mei couldn't help but shout first: "Officer, be careful!"

  It's clear that by now they have basically acknowledged Ning Fan. After all, even if Ning Fan didn't feel the flying knife's attack, it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

  However, in the next second, Jiu Mei found her reminder to be somewhat superfluous, because just as the flying dagger was about to reach its target, Ning Fang stretched out two fingers and pinched it back!

  "Uncle, you're so cool!" Yezi shouted again.

  "Is your only weapon just a knife?" Ning Fang asked calmly.

  "Instructor, we've had enough!" Li Yi said aloud.

  "Yes, sir, we have!" The others echoed in agreement.

  "Alright, now listen to my command and attack the person closest to you!" Ning Fang said calmly as he pulled off the cloth covering his eyes.

  The eighteen sons were all slightly stunned for a moment, but soon they began to take action and launched an attack on their companions beside them. The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

  "Remember, always attack the person closest to you." Ning Fan added.

  The scene became even more chaotic, as the person closest to them was constantly changing. One punch would attack one person, and the next might attack another, with no one knowing who would be attacking whom in the next second.

  This chaotic battle lasted for a full ten minutes before Ning Fan finally shouted: "That's enough!"

  The eighteen sons stopped immediately, and at this moment, everyone was bruised and swollen, with more or less injuries.

  "Your strength is a bit weaker than I expected, but your foundation is not bad." Ning Fang glanced at the eighteen sons, "I don't want to deceive you, this is actually my first time as an instructor, and I don't have absolute confidence in making you very strong, but I will do my best. As for the specific training methods, I won't be able to tell you today, because I need some time to sort out a suitable training course for you."

  "Yes, instructor!" The eighteen sons responded in unison.

  "I'll arrange the bodyguard tasks for you first, formal training starts tomorrow." Ning Fang didn't waste any time and began to assign the eighteen sons to protect Ye Zining, Ke Fanglan, and Lan.

  Originally, Ning Fan had only planned to use twelve bodyguards, divided into two groups. After some thought, he simply got sixteen instead. After all, Bei Bei also needed people to protect her. The remaining two were taken by Li Feng, so eighteen people could be evenly divided into two groups for shifts. One group would train while the other served as bodyguards, and they would take turns switching roles.

  The whole morning, Ning Fan was busy arranging these things. Although Ye Zi was very reluctant, she was eventually coaxed to go to school by him. Two bodyguards followed her, a man and a woman, one of whom was Jiu Mei. Ning Ke and Fang Lanlan also received Ning Fan's phone call and came to the city area separately. It wasn't until noon that everything was arranged properly.

  Li Feng suggested having lunch together at noon, but was rejected by Ning Fan. He returned alone to the Qingyun No. 1 Villa District, casually ate something, and then began to study the training plan.

  All eighteen of them are ordinary people, without any internal strength foundation, so it's naturally impossible for them to practice martial arts like him. Some things they simply can't learn, and all eighteen will become bodyguards in the future, also requiring some targeted training. More importantly, with only three months' time, Ning Fan must prepare something that can be quickly mastered.

  Ning Fan began to recall everything he had learned in his mind, simplifying and organizing some of it. As he meditated, a training plan gradually took shape. Time flew by quickly as Ning Fan pondered, and before he knew it, the sky had darkened, but he was still perfecting his plan in his mind.

  "Uncle, why didn't you turn on the lights?" It wasn't until Ye Zi's voice rang out that Ning Fan finally woke up with a start, and only then did he realize that the room was pitch black.

  The lights suddenly lit up, and Ning Fan looked at the time, only to realize that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Ye Zi had actually finished her night self-study session and returned home.

  "Uncle, reading is so tiring! We're only in first year of high school and we already have to attend evening self-study sessions. I don't want to go!" Yezi sat down next to Ningfan, leaning on him as she complained.

  "If you're tired, then go to bed early." Ning Fan smiled slightly.

  "Uncle!" Ye Zi shook Ning Fan's arm, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

  "Go to bed early, you still have school tomorrow morning." Ning Fan was unmoved.

  "Uncle, I won't bother with you anymore!" Yezi got angry, let go of Ningfan and ran upstairs with a patter.

  Ning Fan shook his head. This was not the first time this girl had thrown a tantrum and refused to go to school, but every time she ended up going to school obediently in the end.

  His stomach suddenly growled, and Ning Fan finally realized he hadn't eaten yet. He got up and walked towards the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

  "Ding ding ding......" Just then, the mobile phone ringtone that had been silent for half a day finally rang out.

  He looked at the incoming call and found it was He Wei, Ning Fan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

  "Ning Fan, help your brother out, okay?" On the other end of the phone, He Wei's somewhat depressed voice came through.

  "What's wrong?" Ning Fan asked with a slight frown.

  "I just asked Hu Linlin to have a midnight snack with me, she didn't agree at first, so I said you'd come too, and then she agreed." He Wei's tone seemed somewhat embarrassed. "Ning Fan, just help me out this once, don't let Hu Linlin think I'm a liar again, okay?"

  "Alright, where are you guys eating?" Ning Fan still responded.

  A few minutes later, Ning Fan left the villa and drove Li Feng's Great Wall off-road vehicle to the place He Wei said. There were not many cars at the training base, but this one was the cheapest, so Ning Fan temporarily used this car as a substitute.

  Ten minutes later, Ning Fan stopped the car by the roadside, where there was a night snack stall, and He Wei was sitting at a table, saying something to Hu Linlin, but unfortunately, Hu Linlin was clearly very cold to He Wei.

  Ning Fan sighed silently and got off the car, walking over.
