Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 35 Why Contact Me


"My sister can be a bit fierce, but she's all bark and no bite. Oh, and my name is Song Jiaqian. I really want to thank you for yesterday. I told my family about what happened, and my mom, dad, and sister all said I should find you to thank you in person!" Song Jiaqian said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "It's no big deal. I've said it before, haven't I? Any normal person would have done the same in that situation!"

Song Jiaqian said, "You're quite modest. I'll treat you to a meal sometime to express my thanks. Oh no, I've been so caught up talking to you, I nearly forgot. The director asked me to find out, who among you is a relative of the person who got injured just now?"

Ye Xiao said, "None of us are, but for now, we don't want his family to know about it, so if there's anything, just tell me!"

"But the hospital has rules!" Song Jiaqian hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Okay, I'll talk to the director in a bit. So, your friend's head was hit with a hard object, and plastic fragments have entered the epidermis, which might be a bit of a problem. He needs to be admitted, and there are certain fees to pay!"

At this moment, Su Yun immediately took out her wallet, took out her bank card and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, I'll go with you. Use my card to pay!"

Ye Xiao replied, "Teacher Su, there's no need for that. You wait here for a while; I'll go pay. And remember, don't tell Weii Yang's parents yet!"

Su Yun said, "How could you, a student, have any money? Don't act tough; take it quickly!"

Ye Xiao responded, "Teacher Su, now that we're outside school, you're like a sister, not a teacher. You should listen to me now. Stay here with Zhan Bo, and I'll go pay. Song... Song..." Ye Xiao was speaking to Song Jiaqian but suddenly forgot her full name!

"Song Jiaqian!" Song Jiaqian said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you!"

Then, Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian ran together to handle the hospital admission.

"That person just now is your teacher?" Song Jiaqian asked Ye Xiao, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Ye Xiao replied, "Yeah, she's our homeroom teacher."

"Such a young homeroom teacher, and so pretty too. I thought she was your girlfriend!" Song Jiaqian exclaimed.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend. I'm still a student."

"Really? Who would believe that? How many students nowadays don't have someone?" Song Jiaqian said, unbelieving.

Ye Xiao asked, "Does that mean you're already married?"

Song Jiaqian frowned immediately and said, "What are you saying? I don't even have a boyfriend yet. What marriage? Are you teasing me on purpose?"

"Not at all," Ye Xiao chuckled and then proceeded with Song Jiaqian to handle the admission.

Although there were quite a few people handling hospital admissions, Song Jiaqian was a nurse at the hospital and seemed to be well-known by the hospital staff. So, they went directly inside the admission hall and quickly completed the procedure, which was kind of like queue-jumping.

Because of Song Jiaqian's influence, things went smoothly. She lied to her director, claiming Weii Yang was her relative. Clearly, the chief physician held her in high regard. Besides, Weii Yang's injuries were not too severe, requiring only three stitches and removal of plastic fragments before he was admitted to a ward. It wasn't just his head that was hurt; his legs were swollen from kicks!

After Weii Yang was settled, Su Yun left the hospital and went back to the school. She was, after all, in charge of a class and couldn't be away for too long.

"Ye Xiao, I still have things to do, so give me your mobile number," Song Jiaqian said to Ye Xiao, who was sitting beside Weii Yang's hospital bed.

Ye Xiao asked with a smile, "What for?"

Song Jiaqian replied, "To contact you, of course!"

Ye Xiao questioned, "Contact me for what?"

Suddenly realizing her words might have sounded ambiguous, Song Jiaqian quickly clarified, "You saved me yesterday. I definitely need to thank you. I'm not someone who doesn't return favors. At the very least, I should treat you to a meal!"

Ye Xiao said, "But I don't have a mobile phone; I haven't gotten around to buying one yet!"

"Really? You're not just saying that because you don't want me to treat you to a meal, are you?" Song Jiaqian asked.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "How could that be? With a beautiful nurse like you, countless men would fight to have a meal with you. I haven't been hit on the head by a door; why wouldn't I want to eat with you? I really don't have a phone!"

"I see. Well, you make a point, being a student, you don't have much money. Alright, I'll just come directly to the school and find you another day!" Song Jiaqian said.

Ye Xiao was about to say that Song Jiaqian shouldn't come to find him because he might not be a student much longer; after all, whether or not he remained a student depended on whether Ling Shuya wanted him as her bodyguard or not.

But Song Jiaqian had already left the ward.

"Brother Xiao, you really are blessed when it comes to ladies. How do you always find such stunning beauties to accompany you, even in a hospital? I'm seriously impressed!" Zhan Bo laughed as he spoke to Ye Xiao!

At this time, Weii Yang had also woken up, except his head was wrapped in gauze.

"Yeah, Brother Xiao, the beautiful nurse even wants to take you out for a meal!" Weii Yang said.

Ye Xiao replied, "You two really are a pain in the ass. Let's focus on Weii Yang getting beat up for now!"

Ye Xiao didn't want to be constantly teased by these two guys, so he quickly changed the subject. Of course, the current topic was indeed the most important one!

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhan Bo and Weii Yang both looked alarmed.

Zhan Bo said, "It's undeniable that Guo Hui came looking for trouble with Weii Yang today. Brother Xiao, if we want to make it in Minghai Academy, we must start by establishing a foothold in Class A. But with Han Fei and Guo Hui in Class A, it would be very unfavorable for our growth, even if we said nothing!"

What Zhan Bo said was what Ye Xiao had also been contemplating, especially after Weii Yang got injured. Ye Xiao was thinking that it was time to teach Han Fei a lesson!

Cui Ji dared to seek him out and Guo Hui dared to attack Weii Yang, all these problems were definitely related to Han Fei. This guy kept on challenging his limits. Initially, Ye Xiao was going to ignore him. After all, Han Fei's father was the head of Guard Bureau, and even if Ye Xiao didn't respect Han Fei's father, he should at least show respect for Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie, who needed to establish themselves in Minghai City for the future!

But now, Ye Xiao was truly angry!

Ye Xiao was generally easygoing, but he had one major weakness: overprotectiveness. Anyone he considered his own was off-limits for others to harm; otherwise, it could lead to outright conflict!

"I'll handle this matter. Keep going to school, Zhan Bo, and don't forget to practice the mental method I've taught you. It seems now you need to practice even more diligently. I'll teach you a quick method later!" Ye Xiao looked at Zhan Bo and said.

Zhan Bo nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao. I will definitely put in the effort and dive into real combat as soon as possible."

Ye Xiao added, "Yes, even though I can beat them, you guys need to be able to protect yourselves too. At the very least, you should learn how to slip away when necessary!"

As Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo talked back and forth, they managed to draw Weii Yang's interest, especially when Ye Xiao mentioned the 'mental method,' which left Weii Yang puzzled, not understanding what Ye Xiao meant.

Ye Xiao also noticed Weii Yang's curiosity and decided it was time to stop hiding things.

"Weii Yang, there's a way for you to rapidly improve your strength. Do you want to learn it?" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Weii Yang.

Weii Yang asked, "What method? Of course, I want to learn!"

Ye Xiao proceeded to share with Weii Yang the conversation he had had with Zhan Bo the previous day.

After hearing what Ye Xiao had to say, Weii Yang was completely dumbfounded, looking at Ye Xiao in disbelief, "Brother Xiao, is what you're saying really true? Does such kung fu really exist in this world?"

Ye Xiao responded, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This world is full of wonders."

At this point, Zhan Bo, sitting beside them, said with a smile to Weii Yang, "Weii Yang, now you have three options. First, take Brother Xiao as your master. Second, take me as your master. Or third, pretend today's events never happened."

Weii Yang looked at Zhan Bo and said, "Isn't that obvious? Could you even be my master? Brother Xiao, the things you mentioned about Qiu Mountain Sect sound mystical. Can I actually see Qiu Mountain with my own eyes someday?"

"Of course, you can. However, there are many rules on Qiu Mountain, and some I have to abide by as well!" Ye Xiao said, "As I already told you, the main rules are: do not betray the sect, do not teach the Cultivation Technique privately, and also, Zhan Bo, listen up, you absolutely cannot take disciples before you have successfully cultivated. That would only mislead the youth. If you want to take disciples, you must have my permission."

Zhan Bo and Weii Yang immediately nodded. Then Weii Yang became Ye Xiao's student, and Ye Xiao imparted the True Yang Skill to him. However, Weii Yang's governor and conception vessels had not been cleared, so Ye Xiao advised him, "Familiarize yourself with the True Yang Skill, practice slowly, and one of these days I'll help you unlock your governor and conception vessels, then you'll be able to practice rapidly."

Weii Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao—no, Master!"

Ye Xiao replied, "No need to call me master, it makes me feel old unless we are on Qiu Mountain. Then you don't have to use that title."

Weii Yang said, "All right, Brother Xiao. Actually, calling you master feels weird to me too!"

Zhan Bo chuckled and said to Weii Yang, "Weii Yang, now you're my junior brother. From now on, you'll have to consult your senior brother for matters!"

"Consult your own head, Brother Xiao said that it's only if we're on Qiu Mountain!" Weii Yang said proudly.

Zhan Bo had no retort, since that was indeed what Ye Xiao had just mentioned.

Ye Xiao spent the entire afternoon in the hospital. When it was nearly time for school to let out, he headed back to the academy because Weei Jie had to pick up Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and him.

Before leaving, Ye Xiao told Weii Yang that the bills had been paid and not to worry about checking out. He should focus on healing first, which touched Weii Yang deeply.
