Once Ye Xiao had not been completely surrounded, Chen Ming and the others were absolutely no more than ten centimeters away from him. At such a short distance, a lot could happen in the blink of an eye!

Chen Ming glanced at his teammates, and those teammates obviously often did some dirty work, so when Chen Ming looked at them, they immediately got the hint. They raised their fists and swung at Ye Xiao. Of course, Chen Ming also threw a punch!

Ye Xiao had anticipated this kind of situation from these guys. At this moment, Ye Xiao finally understood how Weii Yang had gotten injured in that instant. If Ye Xiao were just an ordinary person, he could truly say that today would be terrible!

But!

Was Ye Xiao an ordinary person? Clearly, he was not; he was a martial arts expert, and it was Chen Ming and his friends who were truly ordinary people!

Without even striking back, Ye Xiao let Chen Ming and the others aim their punches at him. When their fists were about to hit Ye Xiao's body from five different directions, Ye Xiao quickly channeled the Nine Yang True Qi. Following that, the Nine Yang True Qi moved swiftly, and Ye Xiao harmonized it at will. The True Qi stream, invisible to the naked eye, burst forth towards the five people. Chen Ming and the others had no idea what happened, but were sent stumbling several steps back, ending up squatting on the ground!

Ye Xiao had held back because even expending just two layers of strength from the Nine Yang Divine Skill would have been enough to take the lives of Chen Ming and the others, after all, they were just ordinary people!

As Chen Ming and his teammates squatted on the ground, shaken by the Nine Yang True Qi, they felt tightness in their chests and their heads were muddled, as if they were car sick, while Ye Xiao, as if nothing happened, quickly dribbled toward Class Seven's basket and scored with a perfect layup!

At this moment, all the spectators were stunned. Many had been worried for Ye Xiao, but to their surprise, it was Chen Ming and the others who ended up squatting on the ground, and they hadn't even stood up yet by the time Ye Xiao scored!

The teammates from Class One stood there dumbfounded, unable to understand why it was Chen Ming who fell, and not the teammates from Class Seven. On the contrary, Ye Xiao was unharmed and even scored a point!

Chen Ming squatted on the ground, pale-faced. He had not seen Ye Xiao lay a hand on them, and yet, his head spun uncontrollably, and he fell backwards to the ground without his own volition. What on earth had happened?

Chen Ming couldn't figure it out; of course, it didn't occur to him that Ye Xiao knew kung fu, and possessed the rare and superb Internal Cultivation Methods, the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

It took several seconds for Zhang Liang and the others to come to their senses, then they hurried to Chen Ming's side. Zhang Liang and some from Class Seven helped Chen Ming and his teammates up!

Zhang Liang didn't know what had happened, but Chen Ming had fallen, that was a fact. As a loyal follower of Chen Ming, Zhang Liang naturally wanted to do something for his boss!

"Damn it, Ye Xiao, you actually hit people, and you even dared to hit Boss Chen Ming?" Zhang Liang bellowed at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao's face carried a smile as he said, "How could that be, I didn't hit them. It's just that, in the course of playing basketball, I caused them to fall, which is a very common occurrence on the court. You are the captain of Class Seven's team; don't you even know this? Besides, I didn't touch any of them with a single finger!"

Ye Xiao's voice was not too loud, but he made sure that everyone present could hear him!

Once Chen Ming stood up, he pushed away the teammates still trying to support him and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, it's not over between us today. You better watch out!"

Ye Xiao replied, "I am always careful. Well, let's talk about the game. The outcome should already be clear by now, right? If you refuse to admit defeat, then let's continue playing. If you concede, then leave now!"

"Damn it, Ye Xiao, by what right do you say we've lost? The game's not over yet!" Zhang Liang roared loudly!

However, Chen Ming didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and walked straight off the court. Today, Chen Ming wanted to show off in front of the school beauties, but he hadn't expected that Ye Xiao's appearance would ruin his plans. At this point, Chen Ming utterly loathed Ye Xiao!

As soon as Chen Ming left, Ye Xiao immediately announced loudly, "This game has ended, Class One wins!" />

When Ye Xiao's words were spoken, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted all around. Clearly, many people were satisfied with the outcome Ye Xiao declared. Even several girls from Class Seven started clapping, and the girls from Class One were utterly enchanted by Ye Xiao, running onto the court to encircle him and shouting his name!

"These crazy fans, it's just a basketball game. It's not like it was official!" Ling Shuya said disdainfully.

Zhou Yuyan immediately laughed and said, "Looks like someone's jealous!"

"You're the one who's jealous, you're always jealous!" Ling Shuya retorted. "Yuyan, I think you've also fallen for that stinking Ye Xiao; no wonder you were defending him this morning even after he saw your body!"

Zhou Yuyan's face turned red upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, and she explained, "How could that be? I did not. I was just being objective, and I think that Ye Xiao is not the kind of pervert who would take pleasure in peeping!"

Peeking?

Ling Shuya cursed inwardly. That stinking Ye Xiao must have been peeking; otherwise, how could he possibly know she got injured in the bathroom? She was determined to get him expelled!

Ling Shuya was extremely annoyed, but as she thought about it, her cheeks flushed red!

"Shuya, why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Zhou Yuyan noticed Ling Shuya's suddenly rosy cheeks and asked with confusion!

Ling Shuya immediately pretended as if nothing was wrong and then, shielding her face from the sun, said, "This damn sun is making me so uncomfortable. Let's head back to the classroom, getting our skin damaged by the sun would be terrible!"

Zhou Yuyan nodded, agreeing with Ling Shuya's sentiment but then added, "Shouldn't we say something to Ye Xiao?"

"Say what?"

Zhou Yuyan said, "Ye Xiao has won honor for our class. We should at least thank him. After all, he's not even a student of our class, but today he really took a stand for us!"

"Who says no? He is a student of our class. As long as I say so, he is. What he did today was his duty. If he hadn't stepped in today, then he would have been the real stinking Ye Xiao. Let's go, forget about him!" Ling Shuya really didn't want to spend another minute there, especially seeing Ye Xiao surrounded by so many girls on the sports field, which made her feel unexpectedly upset!

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan walked towards the edge of the sports field, but after just one step, they overheard the conversation between Chen Ming and Zhang Liang, who were also walking out!

"Boss, I can't swallow this anger. Ye Xiao is just too powerful. Are we just going to let this slide?" Zhang Liang said, looking at Chen Ming!

With a cold expression, Chen Ming replied, "The words 'let it slide' do not exist in my dictionary. I will make Ye Xiao pay back double for today's humiliation. Zhang Liang, I remember you saying your cousin is quite a well-known figure in the nearby underworld, right?"

"Boss, are you suggesting I get my cousin to deal with Ye Xiao?" Zhang Liang inquired!

Chen Ming said, "If you can."

Zhang Liang's spirits lifted upon hearing Chen Ming's words, seeing this as a chance to prove himself to Chen Ming. Previously, his cousin had hoped for an introduction to Chen Ming, who had not wanted any dealings with underworld figures. But now, due to Ye Xiao, Chen Ming was actually requesting contact with his cousin. Elated, Zhang Liang promptly replied, "Don't worry, boss. My cousin has always wanted to work for you. I just need to convey your wishes to him, and he will be more than happy to assist you!"

Chen Ming did not want dealings with people from the social underbelly, but he now contemplated it since involving his father's power could potentially impact his father's career, especially since his father mentioned a significant promotion opportunity was imminent, a life-or-death decision for his career advancement!

Therefore, Chen Ming reluctantly considered seeking help from people in society!

Chen Ming nodded and said, "You handle it. If anything goes wrong, I'll have your back."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang felt even more reassured. With Chen Ming taking responsibility, he could boldly proceed with confidence!

Watching the two of them talk and walk away, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan exchanged looks!

"It seems Ye Xiao is in trouble!" Zhou Yuyan said to Ling Shuya!

Ling Shuya replied, "Yeah, it seems so. But who cares? Isn't he very capable? Surely he can handle those underworld people, right?"

Zhou Yuyan, a bit worried, said, "I've heard that people from the underworld are ruthless. Although Ye Xiao isn't particularly likeable, after all, he is your man, Shuya. If they beat up your guy, wouldn't that be like slapping you in the face? Even Uncle Ling's face!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya felt there might be some truth to it, which made her hesitate. But at that moment, she heard several girls saying, "Ye Xiao is so handsome, it would be great if someone could get him as a boyfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuya felt a sudden, inexplicable surge of anger.

"Hmph, as long as Ye Xiao gets a good lesson, who cares who teaches him? Besides, no one knows he's my man. My man, pah! Yuyan, be careful with your words in the future. Why don't you say he's your man?" Ling Shuya said, "Anyway, I don't care. If you go to help him, it means you've fallen for Ye Xiao!"

Zhou Yuyan was left somewhat speechless by Ling Shuya's words, clearly seeing that Ling Shuya was irritated by those girls' comments. Yet, it seemed Ye Xiao was the one to bear the brunt of it. However, since Ling Shuya had already said not to help Ye Xiao, Zhou Yuyan couldn't really get involved without risking a misunderstanding with Ling Shuya!
