Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 286: A Sensible Method


```

Zhang Zihao didn't take Ye Xiao seriously at all at this moment, so Han Fei's words truly went in one ear and out the other.

Zhang Zihao laughed heartily and said to Ye Xiao, "Alright, let's hear your method. If it makes sense, I might consider letting you go. But if what you say is nonsensical, heh, I'll cripple you today."

Ye Xiao hurriedly chuckled and said, "I'm not even twenty years old yet, with a beautiful youth ahead for me to squander, so of course, I'll suggest a sensible method, at least one that Brother Hao finds sensible."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Zihao immediately said, "Then out with it."

Seeing Zhang Zihao's excessively arrogant expression, Ye Xiao laughed inwardly and then said, "If I were Brother Hao, and at this moment, our positions were reversed—you standing in my place and I in yours—I'd definitely make good use of the current advantage."

Zhang Zihao found Ye Xiao's words quite interesting and quickly asked, "How would you use it?"

Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile, "Quite simple. If I liked Qin Yulu, I would have someone bring her over right away so that Qin Yulu could see with her own eyes how I'm knocking down someone who wouldn't submit to me. That way, Qin Yulu would surely recognize Brother Hao's heroic spirit, and who knows, she might even throw herself into your arms in excitement."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, a smile instantly appeared on Zhang Zihao's face.

Zhang Zihao laughed loudly and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ha ha, you're quite clever, and this method you've suggested is indeed very sensible. Oh no, extremely sensible."

Hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Ye Xiao immediately put on a very anxious look and said, "Brother Hao, since you find my method sensible, can we go now?"

Seeing Ye Xiao's anxious demeanor, Zhang Zihao was convinced that Ye Xiao truly feared him.

In truth, it'd be reasonable for Ye Xiao to be afraid of him right now, since he had so many people with him—just their presence was enough to intimidate.

Zhang Zihao now looked at Ye Xiao with a pompous expression and said, "Ye Xiao, I can understand your feelings. In principle, we should keep our word, but, I'm sorry to say, the method you just suggested is far too sensible. It's so sensible that I can't help but want to try it myself. So, you know what I mean."

"No... I don't understand," Ye Xiao shouted loudly at Zhang Zihao.

Seeing Ye Xiao's anxious shouting, Zhang Zihao laughed and said, "Whether you understand or not, I don't care. Now, if you dare to run, I'll beat you until you look like an alien."

At the same time, Zhang Zihao turned to one of his minions and said, "Go and bring Qin Yulu over."

"Yes, Brother Hao."

The minion was about to leave, but Zhang Zihao immediately called him back, afraid that Qin Yulu might refuse to come. After some thought, he told the minion, "Tell her the guy who fought with me at the breakfast stall this morning has come to the Third Academy, and I'm going to cripple him."

Ye Xiao was thrilled to hear Zhang Zihao's words. Was today his lucky day? Heaven had just handed him an opportunity to captivate a beauty's heart on a silver platter.

But Ye Xiao was quite the schemer himself. Although that was what he thought, he put on a face full of fear, which really convinced Zhang Zihao.

Just then, Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen, who had overheard Zhang Zihao and Ye Xiao's conversation, came out from the security office. Especially Sun Yuze, who shouted loudly, "Son of a bitch, you little band of brothers better think about the consequences."

Seeing Sun Yuze emerge, Zhang Zihao's brow furrowed.

"Beat them to a pulp," Zhang Zihao commanded angrily.

Immediately over a dozen people started to approach Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen.

However, seeing this situation unfold, Han Fei quietly informed Zhang Zihao of Sun Yuze's identity.

Sun Yuze's father was after all the second-in-command in Minghai City. If Zhang Zihao really hurt Sun Yuze, especially in front of so many witnesses, making a big issue out of it could leave nobody with any dignity.

Upon learning Sun Yuze's identity, Zhang Zihao quickly ordered his minions who were about to strike, "Lock those two in the security office. Without my permission, nobody lets them out."

As soon as Zhang Zihao gave the order, Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen immediately wanted to resist, but to their astonishment, Ye Xiao suddenly ordered, "Get in there, and without my command, don't come out."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen were truly stunned. What was going on with Brother Xiao? Why had he become so cowardly? Was this even the Brother Xiao they knew?

Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen deeply doubted, but with Ye Xiao having spoken, they dared not say anything.

Left with no choice, Sun Yuze and Tang Xuewen returned to the security room, and the door to the security office was closed.

At that moment, Third Class.

```

Qin Yulu was listening attentively to the teacher's lecture. Coming from a rather impoverished family, her parents wouldn't be selling breakfast on the street early in the morning if they weren't poor, since it was an extremely tough job.

Hence, Qin Yulu clearly understood one thing: if she wanted to change her current lifestyle, the only possibility was to have a lot of money.

But Qin Yulu was also a girl with a strong character. She wouldn't accept a dime of charity from others. Therefore, she had to study hard to secure a good job in the future. Once successful, she was determined to give her parents a life of familial bliss.

Therefore, Qin Yulu's academic performance in school was always among the best, making her one of the key students nurtured by Third Academy.

"Report!" A loud voice disrupted the learning atmosphere of class three.

The teacher, a man around fifty with an air of seniority, looked at the young man with dyed blond hair and immediately lost his temper, asking unhappily, "What do you want?"

The young man hurriedly said to the teacher, "I'm looking for Qin Yulu."

Hearing this, Qin Yulu, who was reading a book, looked at the young man with puzzlement.

The teacher turned to Qin Yulu, and while looking perplexed, kindly inquired, "Qin Yulu, do you know this student?"

Qin Yulu stood up, shook her head, and said, "I don't know him."

"Qin Yulu," the young man said, "Zhang Zihao sent me. He wants me to tell you something about the morning incident at the breakfast stall, the one involving the fight with Zhang Zihao."

Initially, Qin Yulu had no intention of dealing with this thuggish-looking young man, but the moment he mentioned the person from the morning at the breakfast stall, she instantly looked at him seriously.

Then, Qin Yulu looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, excuse me, I'd like to step out for a moment."

As Qin Yulu was a top student, the teacher tended to be more lenient with her. Even though he was quite displeased, he still nodded, signaling Qin Yulu could leave.

Qin Yulu promptly thanked the teacher and then left the classroom under the watchful eyes of many students.

"You weren't lying to me just now, were you?" Qin Yulu came out of the classroom, looking at the young man.

The young man didn't dare to upset Qin Yulu, especially since she was the girl Zhang Zihao liked. If one day Qin Yulu were to end up with Zhang Zihao, she would become their "sister-in-law."

The youth quickly said, "That guy is now surrounded by Brother Hao's people. Brother Hao just sent me to inform you. As for whether you go or not, Brother Hao didn't give clear instructions."

Qin Yulu was very unhappy inside, but she said calmly, "Take me there."

Hearing her request, the thuggish youth immediately nodded and walked with Qin Yulu toward the staircase.

Third Academy's campus was much smaller compared to Minghai Academy, so it didn't take long for Qin Yulu and the youth to arrive at the school entrance, where they encountered a dense crowd of people.

Qin Yulu frowned upon seeing this. Could it really be that person? Why would he come here? Did Zhang Zihao actually have him surrounded?

Full of doubts, Qin Yulu quickened her pace toward the crowd.

At that moment, in the midst of the crowd, Han Fei, looking at Ye Xiao's calm demeanor, always felt something was amiss. He said to Zhang Zihao nearby, "Ah Hao, I think this is a trap?"

To which Zhang Zihao responded, "What makes you say that?"

Han Fei was at a loss for words upon being queried. Indeed, what made him say that?

He shook his head, saying, "I don't know, but I'm sure Ye Xiao isn't someone to be easily frightened. I couldn't beat him even with my men."

Hearing this, Zhang Zihao laughed proudly and said, "I've got so many people here, and Ye Xiao is just one person. Today I'll definitely crush him."

Watching Zhang Zihao's arrogant and complacent expression, Han Fei frowned slightly, sensing an unsettling premonition.

Just then, Zhang Zihao saw from a distance Qin Yulu and his lackey approaching. He stepped forward from the crowd and hurriedly walked to Qin Yulu with a smirk.

"Yulu, I'm really sorry for making you come all the way here. It's all because that darn Ye Xiao insists on seeing you before his demise. You know I have a soft heart," Zhang Zihao spouted nonsense upon seeing Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu looked at Zhang Zihao and began, "The student earlier said that this morning..."

"That's right, it's him. He bullied me this morning, and now he has the nerve to show up again. I already let him off once. If I spare him again, where will Zhang Zihao's face be?" Zhang Zihao chuckled as he spoke to Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu didn't say a word, but followed Zhang Zihao into the crowd. When they reached the center, she immediately saw a man standing in the midst of the crowd—who else but the righteous man who had intervened at her parents' breakfast stall that morning?
