Wang Qiya never imagined that someone would actually bleed for her tonight.

Wang Wu hurriedly said, "Second Miss, don't worry. I gave them orders to only entangle them, not to attack. You have to trust the Wang Family elites; they won't be reckless."

Wang Wu understood Ye Dexian's lethal power better than anyone, so he would never let the Wang Family's team march to their deaths for nothing.

Hearing this, Wang Qiya looked at Wang Wu, her eyes still filled with guilt. "I..."

Wang Wu shook his head. "Trust me. Besides, Ye Dexian is definitely just trying to provoke you. Don't make a scene and become a laughingstock."

Wang Qiya bit her lip and said no more.

Seeing this, Xu Ke's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked toward Ye Dexian.

It was only then that he finally understood why Ye Dexian had arrived so late at the Golden K Bar—he had been held up by the Wang Family's team.

The next moment, Xu Ke looked at Ye Dexian. "You old codger, what's the point of all this talk? I'll give you a choice: let us leave, and I'll give you back Ye Chong. Then, you can stop running your mouth."

Interrupting Ye Dexian's incessant rambling was the only thing he could do. He had no time to worry about Wang Qiya's state of mind. After all, the most pressing matter right now was leaving the Golden K.

Ye Dexian sneered. "Injure someone and then just walk away? Xu Ke, are you taking this a little too lightly?"

Ye Chong had been crippled. Ye Dexian was determined to make the four people present pay the price in blood.

Behind Ye Dexian, his men carefully aimed their crossbows. They meticulously searched for a flaw in Xu Ke's defense, intending to rescue Ye Chong. However, Xu Ke seemed to be able to predict their every move, repeatedly giving them the frustrating sense of having no opening to strike.

As for why they didn't use firearms, it was, of course, to give the Martial Alliance some face. Golden K Bar was located on a bustling city street. If a large-scale gun battle erupted here, it would become a major incident.

Xu Ke said nonchalantly, "Or what? Are you trying to incite a conflict between the Ye and Wang families and destroy the harmony and stability of the Six Great Families?"

"Ye Dexian, Ye Chong is young, so it's understandable if he disregards the bigger picture. But why are you joining a young man in his foolishness?"

Zhou Yi Yi and Wang Qiya listened, dumbfounded. Wang Qiya even forgot the provocative words Ye Dexian had used on her moments ago.

Wang Wu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

As for the Ye Family's men standing by, they were utterly astonished, even doubting if they had heard correctly.

You shatter a man's Dantian with one punch and now you turn around and accuse him of starting a fight? How absurd!

Ye Chong's lips trembled with rage. What kind of person is this?!

Ye Dexian was infuriated by Xu Ke's audacity to lecture him from the moral high ground. He roared, "You shameless brat! You were the one who struck so viciously, ignoring the greater good! How dare you turn around and accuse me?"

"I struck viciously? Which one of your eyes saw me strike viciously?" Xu Ke shot back.

Ye Dexian's eyes were bloodshot as he furiously pointed at Ye Chong's Dantian. "Doesn't this count?"

But Xu Ke remained calm. He glanced at Ye Chong with a look of feigned interest and said, "Oh, you mean this? I did that on purpose. Besides, it's not like it can't be healed."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Ye Dexian's lungs nearly exploded with rage. But when he heard the second half, he was suddenly stunned. "What did you say?"

"It can be healed."

Xu Ke was concise, then added, "Let Uncle Wu and the other two leave first. I'll stay behind and help fix Ye Chong's Dantian."

The expressions on Wang Qiya and the others changed drastically.

Xu Ke is planning to sacrifice himself to save them?!

"Absolutely not—" Wang Wu said urgently.

Xu Ke raised a hand, stopping Wang Wu from saying any more.

Ye Dexian gritted his teeth. "You know medicine? Stop spouting nonsense. And why should I believe you?"

"You don't believe me?" Xu Ke looked at Ye Dexian. "You have an illness, and I can cure it. How about that? Do you believe me now?"

Ye Dexian scoffed. "I have an illness? Don't just make things up."

Wang Wu also frowned. He had seen Xu Ke use acupuncture to save someone's life, but the idea that Ye Dexian was sick... Wang Wu couldn't bring himself to agree. After all, Ye Dexian's martial arts progression had always been steady. That wasn't the sign of someone suffering from an ailment.

A hint of mockery flashed in Xu Ke's eyes as he spoke slowly, "Martial Artists have vigorous blood and qi, so their bedroom prowess is nothing to scoff at. But you've suffered an old injury to your kidneys. I'm afraid your virility has long since vanished. Can't that be considered an illness?"

"Eunuch Ye."

As his words fell, the entire area went silent.

WHAT?!

Ye Dexian's face instantly turned beet red. He bellowed furiously, "Nonsense!"

Xu Ke had hit the mark! But how could this be possible? He hadn't even taken his pulse, yet Xu Ke managed to diagnose him perfectly.

Seeing Ye Dexian's humiliated rage, everyone suddenly understood...

Wang Wu glanced at Ye Dexian in shock. So this Ye Laojiu has been suffering from this old malady all these years?

His subordinates muttered among themselves. No wonder Ninth Master Ye has remained childless all these years. We just thought he abstained from sex to cultivate his Virgin Body Art and preserve his Yang essence... but it turns out...

At that moment, the atmosphere in front of the bar became incredibly strange.

Sensing the shift in the atmosphere, Ye Dexian flew into a rage. "Nonsense, utter nonsense! If you keep spouting these fabrications, I'll definitely kill you!"

Xu Ke's next words landed lightly. "If you kill me, who will you find to cure you? Or do you not want to taste what it feels like to be a real man?"

Ye Dexian stared daggers at Xu Ke but didn't dare to speak. Because he really did want to taste 'that' feeling.

Xu Ke continued, "Besides, everyone here knows what really happened tonight. We all have a good idea of who was at fault first. Of course, my methods were a bit harsh, but who told your Ye Chong to be such a contemptible pest?"

"So, if we can bury the hatchet, you let us go, and I'll cure your ailment. That way, the Ye and Wang families can be in harmony. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Moreover, our families just had a conflict recently. If this gets reported to the Martial Alliance, Elder Master Chen will surely look down on our two unruly families. Should another family seize this opportunity to take advantage, just think about the consequences..."

"Think about it, Ye Dexian."

The current situation was dire, and it was clear a fight would not go well. Xu Ke had no intention of insisting on a bloody confrontation. So, with his words, he gave both his own side and the Ye Family a slap on the wrist.

But listening to this, why do I feel like I took an extra fifty lashes?

Hearing Xu Ke's words, Ye Dexian's face turned pale then green, his expression uncertain... He had to admit, Xu Ke's words had moved him.

...

Although Ye Dexian's silence lasted less than a minute, time seemed to stretch on, moving excruciatingly slowly.

Wang Qiya looked extremely anxious. She never expected Xu Ke to offer to stay behind in exchange for their freedom. But just as she was about to protest, Wang Wu stopped her with a look.

Wang Wu knew that Xu Ke must have his own plan. Their protests would be useless.

As for Ye Chong, he was the most miserable person there. He was still wounded, and although the two stabs hadn't caused major blood loss, his face was still deathly pale.

Finally, Ye Dexian looked at Xu Ke.

He sneered and said slowly, "Xu Ke, you certainly have a silver tongue!"
