"I'm having some trouble understanding some aspects of martial arts training, so..." This was, after all, Song Jiamin's request to Ye Xiao, so she didn't feel the least bit confident. This was so out of character for her usual assertive way of speaking and doing things!

When Ye Xiao heard Song Jiamin's words, he understood immediately. This girl must have felt her strength was improving too slowly.

After all, the first time her strength had improved, it was Ye Xiao who was with Song Jiamin. They had gone through quite a tumultuous time in bed, and without much effort on her part, Song Jiamin had already advanced to the early stages of Yellow Rank. But in the following days, despite her relatively diligent cultivation efforts, the results were minimal!

Ye Xiao said, "Oh, so you've come to seek advice from your master, huh? Well, if you want to ask for advice, you've got to look the part!"

"Ye Xiao!" Song Jiamin's suppressed annoyance nearly burst forth!

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and then asked, "When are you free?"

"Are you free this afternoon? I'll be at home around three!" Song Jiamin's voice was weak. Obviously, she was reluctant; if it weren't for desperate circumstances, she would never have called Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao thought about it. He didn't seem to have any plans for the afternoon, so he readily agreed.

When he hung up the call, at that moment, Shen Qiuyu, Lin Dieying, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Lan Lan - five girls - all had their eyes wide open, watching Ye Xiao. Although they hadn't heard whether the caller was a man or a woman, Ye Xiao's frivolous tone almost certainly suggested it was a woman!

Moreover, Ye Xiao had mentioned Officer Song, so the person in question was undoubtedly Song Jiamin. Firstly, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan knew who Song Jiamin was!

"What does the beautiful Song want from you?" Ling Shuya immediately questioned Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "It's about martial arts training. She needs to consult me about some things. She begged me on the phone for a long time; I couldn't say no!"

"Martial arts training?" Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan immediately exchanged a glance. Clearly, the suggestion triggered some disharmonious thoughts in the minds of these two girls.

At that moment, Lan Lan, looking puzzled, asked Ye Xiao, "Who's the beautiful Song? You mentioned Officer Song just now, is she a cop?"

"Of course, she's not only a cop but a pretty police officer too, right, Ye Xiao?" Ling Shuya said with a mocking smile, "Since the beautiful Song has summoned you, shouldn't you hurry over? Oh wait, you must be impatient to go right now!"

"How could that be?" Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm not going to rush over now. Since when do teachers wait for students? Besides, she said to go around three!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the girls felt an immediate urge to throttle him!

Each of the girls in attendance knew exactly why the others were present. Their relationships with Ye Xiao were at least somewhat ambiguous, if not outright romantic rivals. And now, yet another potential rival had emerged!

Previously, Lan Lan had thought about finding ways to clear out the girls around Ye Xiao, but now, before she could even make a move, one beauty after another had started to appear. Even if Lan Lan had enormous capabilities, she couldn't fend off so many people!

"Ye Xiao, exams are in a few days. Don't you plan to review a bit?" Lan Lan suddenly said to Ye Xiao.

Exams?

Ye Xiao seemed to recall Su Yun mentioning something about that, but he wasn't really a bona fide student. Did he need to worry about exams?

"Does he really need to take exams?" Zhou Yuyan said with a smile, "I bet what he's really thinking about is how to teach Officer Song martial arts. Let's hurry back and review. Last semester, Shuya, Dieying, and I all ranked in the top ten. We can't afford to drop below that this time; it would be so embarrassing!"

"How could that happen?" Ling Shuya said confidently, "We have a female scholar here, after all. It seems Dieying is bound to be number one again this time. My goal is not too high; just to move up one place."

Lin Dieying had always achieved top scholar status. At the end of the last semester, she had beaten the second-place student by a full twenty points, securing first place at Minghai Academy and earning a 3,000-yuan scholarship from the school!

"It was just good luck last time; the questions were ones I'd reviewed. But this exam could be different. The questions are going to be tougher!" Lin Dieying remarked. "I can't guarantee anything."

"Why do you always think about exams? Just thinking about it gives me a headache. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Do you think the school will have a party today?" Lan Lan, unlike the other three girls Lin Dieying, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan, was more into having fun, evidenced by her racing hobby.

Hearing Lan Lan's words, everyone immediately remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was just over ten days away, another significant holiday in the year.

"Possibly, at the beginning of last school year, didn't the school organize a Mid-Autumn Festival gala party? Maybe they'll do something this year too!" Zhou Yuyan responded, "At that time, each class will probably have to perform. The question is, what should we perform?"

Listening to their conversation, Ye Xiao and Shen Qiuyu, who were relatively new to Minghai Academy, were pretty excited about the academy's Mid-Autumn Festival activities.

After chatting for a while longer, the girls each went back to their classes. With exams coming up, it was time to review. Shen Qiuyu, now a student, also had to avoid failing every subject!

The only one who didn't leave was Lan Lan, who pulled Ye Xiao aside and said, "The thing you asked me to inquire about is all set!"

"Oh?" Ye Xiao was immediately surprised when he heard Lan Lan's words. He knew exactly what she was referring to—the five million had been given to Lan Lan!

Ye Xiao immediately asked, "How did it go?"

Lan Lan said, "It's just some medicine ingredients, no big deal. Someone will deliver them after school tonight, and I guarantee they're all genuine—but they weren't cheap!"

"That's all minor stuff!" Ye Xiao said, "How much were you able to get?"

Lan Lan replied, "Fifteen portions of each!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly; these things were expensive. Ling Hengyu had given him twenty portions of each item, which now seemed to be even more valuable!

Ye Xiao said, "No problem, I'll definitely be at school before classes are over!"

"Will you?" Lan Lan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "I'm just worried you might be too busy by then!"

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback by Lan Lan's words, then quickly gave a small smile and said, "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm really just going to give some guidance!"

"Yeah, right. If that were true, I'd have seen a ghost!" Lan Lan said and walked straight towards the teaching building!

Ye Xiao suddenly felt a wave of frustration. Did he often lie? Why were his truthful words always misunderstood?

Nevertheless, getting another fifteen portions of medicine ingredients still made Ye Xiao very happy; he should at least be able to refine two Heart Cleansing Pills with them!

With so many Martial Artists emerging in Minghai City now, Ye Xiao realized he had to take it seriously. The urgent need to refine Qi Gathering Pills and Source Life Liquid was pressing!

Ye Xiao felt the USB drive in his pocket; it had been given to him by Zhou Hao just before he left. Ye Xiao naturally knew what was inside; the contents could be lethal to some people, but he had no intention of taking them down in one fell swoop, not before allowing Huo Feng to personally destroy some things herself.

Just then, Ye Xiao remembered something important he should have done earlier!

These past days, he had been occupied with several girls' matters and had completely overlooked someone!

He took out his phone, quickly found a familiar name in the contact list, and then he dialed the number!

"Brother Xiao!" Weii Yang's voice came through the phone instantly!

That's right, Ye Xiao was thinking of Weii Yang; he had promised to help him open his governor and conception vessels as soon as possible, but he had been so busy these past days that he had forgotten all about it!

"Where are you?" Ye Xiao asked.

"Brother Xiao, is something wrong?" Weii Yang immediately asked. "Zhan Bo, Yu Ze and I just finished eating outside and are about to head back to school. What's up?"

Ye Xiao said, "Like this, you guys go directly to the abandoned teaching building behind the school. I'm on my way!"

Weii Yang was slightly surprised when he heard Ye Xiao's words, quickly responding, "Brother Xiao, what's actually happening?"

Weii Yang was indeed curious about why Ye Xiao suddenly told him to go to the abandoned teaching building. These past few days, Weii Yang, Zhan Bo, and Sun Yuze had been visiting that abandoned building quite a lot for it offered a quiet space to skip classes and practice the True Yang Skill, a martial method suited for male Martial Artists. Consequently, the three of them had progressed quickly, especially Zhan Bo, whose governor and conception vessels had already been opened. Although both Weii Yang and Sun Yuze felt strong and buff after cultivating the True Yang Skill, they still lagged behind Zhan Bo, who had already started to feel the flow of True Qi as a benefit of his diligent cultivation.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly. Was something supposed to have happened?

"Stop asking so many questions. Tell Yu Ze to come too!" Ye Xiao said. "I'm hanging up!"

As Weii Yang stared at the beeping phone, still quite puzzled, his curiosity grew. What was this sudden instruction to go to the abandoned teaching building all about?

"What's up?" Zhan Bo and Sun Yuze looked at Weii Yang with puzzled faces.

Weii Yang shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao just told us to head to the abandoned teaching building right now!"

"Right now, immediately?" Sun Yuze thought for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be a problem, should it? What else could we have to do at the abandoned teaching building at Minghai Academy?"

The three couldn't make sense of it, and without further ado, they hurried off towards the abandoned teaching building!
