Early the next morning, Ye Xiao opened his eyes around five o'clock, having slept quite well that night!

Stepping out of his room, the outside was still quiet. Clearly, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan had not yet woken up. Ye Xiao remembered that last night, Zhou Yuyan had also stayed over at Ling Shuya's villa!

Ye Xiao didn't need much rest every day; on average, four to five hours of sleep was enough for him. However, he had actually slept for nearly eight hours last night. Perhaps this place was truly too comfortable. Ye Xiao went to the living room, sat directly on the sofa as there was nothing urgent to attend to, and conveniently started to practice the Nine Yang Divine Skill while keeping an eye on his surroundings. After all, as a bodyguard, he needed to ensure Ling Shuya's safety at all times!

Closing his eyes, even though Ye Xiao wasn't sitting cross-legged but rather in a normal seated position, he was still able to circulate the Nine Yang True Qi with ease. The Nine Yang True Qi started from the Tian Ling, raced through the meridians like highways to the Dantian, then whirled there and traveled back up towards the Tian Ling. As it circulated clockwise, Ye Xiao could feel that with each revolution, the amount of Nine Yang True Qi stored within his Dantian increased slightly. Of course, the increase wasn't too apparent or too much each time, but with continuous loops—one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times... it was a tireless process, like water droplets drilling through stone. Martial Artists faced hard work, and Ye Xiao was rather fortunate to have obtained the Supreme Heart Method, as without such a high-level mental method, the cultivation of Martial Arts would have been exceedingly arduous!

While cultivating Martial Arts, time passed extremely quickly, and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye. It was then that Ye Xiao's left ear twitched slightly, and he exhaled a foul breath gently before slowly turning his head towards the stairs.

He saw a figure appear!

Zhou Yuyan was rubbing her eyes while quickly descending the stairs with the support of the handrail and heading straight for the kitchen.

Zhou Yuyan hadn't seen Ye Xiao at first, but after she fetched some water to drink and was holding the glass in her hand, she was startled to see someone in the living room.

The glass slipped from her hand.

Crash!

The glass shattered on the floor, sending shards flying everywhere.

A small piece of glass flew straight onto Zhou Yuyan's calf, causing it to bleed immediately!

"Ouch!"

Zhou Yuyan screamed in pain.

Seeing the blood on Zhou Yuyan's calf, Ye Xiao quickly leaped over the sofa to her.

Ye Xiao's eyes were very keen. He had clearly seen a shard of glass spatter onto Zhou Yuyan's calf the moment the water glass hit the ground, and it had penetrated her flesh!

Walking over, Ye Xiao bent down and directly lifted the leg Zhou Yuyan was holding up. Due to the pain, she was already sitting on the floor, completely stunned.

This injury was serious for Zhou Yuyan, but for Ye Xiao, it was a piece of cake.

He quickly picked out the piece of glass.

However, at that moment, Ling Shuya also came downstairs due to the scream and saw Ye Xiao and Zhou Yuyan together, with Ye Xiao holding Zhou Yuyan's leg.

"What are you two doing?"

Zhou Yuyan and Ye Xiao immediately looked up at Ling Shuya at her words!

"Shuya, let me explain!" Ye Xiao put down Zhou Yuyan's leg and stood up to say to Ling Shuya!

Ling Shuya was extremely angry at the time. If Ye Xiao's intrusion into her room yesterday was to prevent her paralysis, then what about today? This guy was actually with Zhou Yuyan...

At that thought, Ling Shuya was even more infuriated!

"Shut your despicable mouth, Ye Xiao! You've taken advantage of Yuyan, and I'm going to tell my dad about this. I'm going to let him know what a mistake he made by bringing a wolf into our house!" Ling Shuya fumed.

Ye Xiao knew he was at a loss for words at this moment, as he truly hadn't intended any harm!

Ling Shuya angrily said, "Leave now, or else, hmph, I'll call the police!"

Ling Shuya was becoming more and more angry and scared the more she thought about it. She usually lived alone here. If Ye Xiao had bad intentions, how could she possibly resist?

Ye Xiao sighed with a heavy heart and didn't know what to say. He turned and walked towards his own room; if they wanted him to leave, then he would. Insisting on staying would only make future days unbearable.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yuyan, supporting herself on the staircase, stood up and said, "He can't leave!"

Ling Shuya immediately looked at Zhou Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, have you lost your mind? He bullied you."

Zhou Yuyan said, "It's all a misunderstanding. The glass shard struck my leg, and Ye Xiao was treating it. Shuya, it's really a misunderstanding!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya was puzzled. Could she have wronged this guy?

Ling Shuya looked towards Ye Xiao and said, "Is that true?"

Ye Xiao replied, "Believe it or not, that's up to you!"

Realizing she might have misunderstood, Ling Shuya coldly said, "Don't let it happen again!"

Ling Shuya quickly went to Zhou Yuyan's side, saying, "Let me help you up; there's a medicine chest upstairs. I'll apply some ointment for you. Oh right, Ye Xiao, clean up the glass on the floor so no one gets hurt!"

With that, Ling Shuya supported Zhou Yuyan as they went upstairs.

Ye Xiao gave a wry smile; if it wasn't for Zhou Yuyan, he would have had no way to clear his name today. It seemed he couldn't afford to leave so early in the future.

After cleaning up the glass shards, Ye Xiao quickly returned to his room, jumped onto his bed, and began to calmly cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Having successfully reached the second tier of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, called "Morning Sun Congregation," Ye Xiao had become somewhat lax in his practice, which was clearly not good. Moreover, Ye Xiao had come up against another Martial Artist yesterday. Who could be sure that he wouldn't come back with some help, since Martial Artists are commonly proud and rarely accept defeat willingly? Therefore, Ye Xiao could not let his guard down!
