Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 125: Su Yun Seems to Have a Secret


Inside a private room of the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, with a decent sound system, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan sang excitedly, while two men sat beside them, the table set with some simple dishes to accompany the drinks.

"Boss, did you establish a security company just to protect Ling Shuya?" Zhou Hao knew Ye Xiao very well; several times, famous organizations from both inside and outside the country had invited Ye Xiao to join them, promising high positions, but Ye Xiao remained unmoved!

It is known that even if not becoming the boss, just being a nominal elder, the profits earned every month and the subordinates at one's disposal would have been countless times more than those of this small security company!

Ye Xiao, while nibbling on a peanut, smiled and said to Zhou Hao, "It seems you're not foolish, right, if it were just to protect Ling Shuya, there would be no need to go through such trouble. However, what I need to do now is not just protect Ling Shuya, but also our beloved homeland!"

"Oh?" Zhou Hao became very puzzled upon hearing what Ye Xiao said!

Zhou Hao knew Ye Xiao was accustomed to being carefree and found it hard to be bound by others. Whatever the organization, he never joined any, but now, hearing these words from Ye Xiao, Zhou Hao was very puzzled, because he really couldn't understand what could make Ye Xiao take the initiative to protect the homeland!

Ye Xiao dipped his finger in the drink, and then slowly wrote two words on the table!

Zhou Hao was very puzzled and immediately looked over, but when Zhou Hao made out the two words, his originally puzzled face instantly showed a great deal of surprise!

Because Zhou Hao saw the words 'Flame Dragon'!

Being born into a high-ranking family in the country, Zhou Hao naturally understood the meaning of these words!

"They found you?" Zhou Hao looked at Ye Xiao in great surprise!

Ye Xiao said, "Yes, you know my life's mystery has always troubled me. If I don't join, I might never unravel it in this lifetime!"

"They actually threatened you with this!" Zhou Hao frowned immediately!

By Zhou Hao's temperament, he should not have just frowned simply; if someone else had threatened Ye Xiao, Zhou Hao would have definitely stood up for him and beaten those damn people who dared to threaten Ye Xiao until even their mothers wouldn't recognize them. However, facing the Flame Dragon Team, Zhou Hao dared not overstep!

"Actually, joining this organization is good too. It gives me quite a few privileges when moving around Yan Country!" Ye Xiao said with a smile!

"But, that's ultimately not freedom, don't I know you?" Zhou Hao said with a bitter smile!

Ye Xiao picked up his drink, smiled, and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink up!"

"Cheers!" Zhou Hao gulped down his drink!

"Do you have any plans for this trip back?" Ye Xiao smiled and said to Zhou Hao!

Zhou Hao said, "My family told me to go to any region, to get some gilding, be an officer or something, I don't know the specifics!"

"That's great though, it probably won't take ten years for you to become another shining star in Yan Country!" Ye Xiao laughed and said to Zhou Hao!

Zhou Hao said, "Those kind of days really aren't what I want. What I miss most is still the unconstrained, decisive days we had in Lijiazhou Continent. Returning to the homeland always feels a bit restricting!"

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and scolded, "You rascal, stirring up trouble everywhere in other people's country, and now that you're back, you're all cautious!"

Zhou Hao chuckled and said, "The homeland is like our home, we can't really mess it up too much!"

Ye Xiao immediately laughed heartily, saying, "Well said!"

The two hadn't seen each other in a long time and talked a lot, drinking plenty as well. This time, Ye Xiao didn't use his Inner Strength to force out the alcohol, letting the alcohol ferment vigorously inside his body. Both Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao were heavy drinkers, so the two actually ended up drinking seven bottles of liquor and four cases of beer, ending up competing to see who went to the bathroom the most!

When Ye Xiao woke up the next day, he found himself in Ling Shuya's villa. As for how he had returned, he had no strength left, and he also discovered something even more astonishing—Zhou Hao was sleeping on the floor, and quite soundly at that!

Sitting up, Ye Xiao felt a bit of a headache, then immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill, letting the Nine Yang True Qi gently nourish every part of his body, clearing all the residual alcohol completely!

Half an hour later, Ye Xiao felt revived and had never felt better!

He got dressed, got out of bed, and kicked Zhou Hao with his foot; the guy actually turned over and continued sleeping!

Ye Xiao wryly smiled and then went to the washroom to freshen up.

When he walked out of the room, a fragrant smell immediately greeted him!

"Eh? Who's cooking? It smells good!" Ye Xiao walked out of the room and saw no one in the living room, immediately saying it curiously.

At that moment, a small head popped out of the kitchen, looking at Ye Xiao and saying, "How come you just woke up?"

After seeing the person's face, Ye Xiao blinked in surprise. What is she doing here?

At that moment, two more people emerged from the kitchen, none other than Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan!

"You really are a lazy pig, sleeping until 11:30!" Ling Shuya scornfully said to Ye Xiao, "Just sit on the sofa and wait. Teacher Su is teaching us how to cook, we'll be eating soon!"

Zhou Yuyan seemed even more concerned about her brother. After seeing Ye Xiao, she immediately asked, "Where is my brother? Hasn't he woken up yet?"

Ye Xiao basically ignored what the two were saying!

Because the woman cooking was none other than Su Yun!

Why was Su Yun here?

"Sister Su, what are you doing here?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled as he walked towards the kitchen!

Zhou Yuyan immediately responded, "Last night, we had Zhao Dapeng and the others support you out of the bar, and we happened to see Teacher Su passing by the bar's entrance. Teacher Su was worried about you, so she followed us here!"

Passing by the bar's entrance?

Ye Xiao, although his expression showed nothing, felt very puzzled inside upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's words because, when Zhou Hao, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan had come to the bar last night, it was already 11:30. After that, they sang and drank, which must have taken at least an hour or two, at the very least. That would mean it was close to 2 AM. Why would Su Yun still be on the street at that time?

If what Zhou Yuyan said wasn't a lie, then Su Yun must have some secrets unknown to him!

Seeing Ye Xiao standing at the kitchen door and not talking, Su Yun immediately asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Did you drink too much and still feel confused?"

Hearing Su Yun's words, Ye Xiao quickly smiled and said, "Yeah, yeah, you really can't drink too much of this stuff. I had too much last night. I didn't embarrass myself, did I?"

Ye Xiao deliberately acted nonchalant. He didn't want Su Yun to notice, but he couldn't understand. Su Yun seemed to be just an ordinary teacher; what kind of secrets could she have?

Although Ye Xiao really wanted to ask Su Yun about it, he still held back!

"Of course, you embarrassed yourself, yelling in the car with Zhou Hao, but, the specifics of what you were mumbling about, we don't know!" Ling Shuya said with a look towards Zhou Yuyan, "Oh yes, you also threw up a bit, but luckily, you didn't spray it on me, hehe!"

Ye Xiao said, "Did it end up on some unlucky person then? But, my drinking manners are usually pretty good, eh!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya and Su Yun immediately covered their mouths and laughed, but Zhou Yuyan was the only one frowning, staring at Ye Xiao and saying, "The unlucky person you're talking about is me!"

Ah?

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Zhou Yuyan with an apologetic face, imagining how disgraceful his vomiting self must have been when he was completely drunk!

"Alright, Yuyan, I'm truly sorry. I swear I won't throw up on you again, I promise!" Ye Xiao earnestly said to Zhou Yuyan!

Zhou Yuyan immediately said, "You think there will be a next time? I'm telling you, you are not allowed to drink that much with my brother again. My brother is the only male in the Zhou family. If something happens to him, the entire Zhou family won't let you off!"

Ah?

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ye Xiao thought, so they are relying on Zhou Hao to carry on the family line. But then again, considering that the Ling family has only the girl Ling Shuya, how would they carry on the family line? Could it be the so-called end of the family line?

Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt somewhat sad for Ling Hengyu, whose lifetime of hard work might end up in the hands of some fortunate person!

Knowing he shouldn't dwell on this topic, Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said to the three women in the kitchen, "What delicious dishes are you making?"

Ling Shuya immediately laughed and said to Ye Xiao, "It's the same dishes as last time. I wanted to eat them, so I had Sister Su make them for us. Are you starting to drool now?"

Ye Xiao immediately licked his lips and said, "Stop it. If you keep talking, I really will start drooling. But, I need to step out for a bit now!"

"Step out? Where to?" Ling Shuya immediately asked Ye Xiao, puzzled.

"I need to see Zhao Dapeng about something regarding the Heavenly Gate Security Company," Ye Xiao said with a smile!

Ye Xiao couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only say it was about the Heavenly Gate Security Company. He didn't want to mention meeting Huo Feng, since Ling Shuya and the others still didn't know about Huo Feng's existence. Who knows what Ling Shuya would think if she found out!

"Always the Heavenly Gate Security Company!" Ling Shuya said. "Be careful not to get yourself too involved in that path!"

Su Yun immediately looked at Ling Shuya, puzzled, and asked, "What path?"

Ling Shuya quickly said, "It's nothing!"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I, of course, understand!"

Then, he headed straight out of the villa. However, no one noticed that as Ye Xiao left, there was a hint of a smile in Su Yun's eyes as she watched him go.

If Ye Xiao had turned around then, he certainly would have seen it. But, he didn't turn around!
