Hong Shaofeng slowly retracted his True Qi and, with a sway of his body, appeared once again beside the boss. He looked at Ye Xiao and raged, "Ye Xiao, do you really think you're capable of something? If you weren't so lucky, you'd be dead by now!"

At that moment, Yu Laoer also arrived next to the boss. In fact, Yu Laoer was also very puzzled. How could there be such coincidences in the world? And that small pit, how could it possibly have such power? Could it really be just because of that small pit?

Although Yu Laoer was puzzled, he dared not speak out. After all, the fact remained that his punch had just collided with Hong Shaofeng's. To be honest, if word of this got out, it would be quite embarrassing!

Yu Laoer looked at Ye Xiao, who was slowly standing up, and immediately sneered, "Kid, not bad at running away, eh? You even managed to outrun me!"

At that moment, Hong Shaofeng said to Yu Laoer beside him, "Second Brother, the kid has learned the Wind Shadow Steps from the Fu family of Nanxing City. That's why he's so fast!"

Upon hearing Hong Shaofeng's words, Yu Laoer stared at Ye Xiao in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh? So, this kid has ties to the Fu family of Nanxing City? I remember, the Wind Shadow Steps of the Fu family are only passed down to direct descendants. How can this kid know it!"

Hearing Yu Laoer's words, even Hong Shaofeng was at a loss for words. The Fu family indeed had such a rule!

Actually, every clan has its own high-level cultivation techniques that are only passed down to direct descendants and not to outsiders. And the Wind Shadow Steps of the Fu family is obviously one of those high-level, top-notch techniques!

At this point, Ye Xiao, upon hearing the conversation between Hong Shaofeng and Yu Laoer, was secretly astonished. These people seemed to have some insight; he had only run a little, yet they recognized the Wind Shadow Steps he had learned.

Now that his Wind Shadow Steps had been seen through, Ye Xiao immediately feigned surprise and looked at Hong Shaofeng and the others, saying, "You... How do you know that I've performed the Wind Shadow Steps? No!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the three men, who were previously unsure, now became even more convinced.

"The Wind Shadow Steps of the Fu family are indeed impressive. Kid, if you're willing to teach me the steps of the Wind Shadow Steps, I'll spare your life. I promise that from now on, Shaofeng will definitely not trouble you again!" The boss said to Ye Xiao with a smile.

When Ye Xiao heard the boss's words, he chuckled inwardly. This guy wanted to covet the Fu family's Wind Shadow Steps. However, the three girls inside the villa were still digesting the Heart Cleansing Pill, and it was unknown when they would finish. So, naturally, right now Ye Xiao's sole idea was to stall for time as long as he could!

Ye Xiao immediately looked at the boss with a skeptical face and said, "Are you joking? You can really let me go? You... Can you make that decision?"

Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to be interested, the boss immediately made a guarantee, "You can rest assured. As long as I've said something, it will absolutely hold true. As I said, from now on Shaofeng won't trouble you. Isn't that right, Shaofeng?"

Hong Shaofeng wasn't stupid. He knew that what the boss loved most was collecting martial arts techniques. Although he hadn't managed to collect any useful ones to date, he was tirelessly progressing towards this goal!

Hong Shaofeng immediately looked at Ye Xiao with a smile and said, "Ye Xiao, if you agree to my boss's proposal, everything is negotiable."

In fact, Hong Shaofeng had his own plans. He also really wanted to learn the Wind Shadow Steps. The specialty of the Wind Shadow Steps was the increase in movement speed. As the saying goes, in the world of martial arts, speed reigns supreme!

As long as one was fast enough, even when facing a higher-level martial artist, one could put up a good fight, and even if one couldn't win, one could at least escape using the Wind Shadow Steps!

This calculation was clearly delightful, but Ye Xiao wasn't naive and had already seen through their intentions!

However, as mentioned before, Ye Xiao's only thought right now was to buy time. Thus, he immediately grinned at the boss and said, "Well, that's easy, man. You really scared me there for a second. If I knew you just wanted the steps of the Wind Shadow Steps, why bother struggling? Just say so, and I'll certainly give you a good demonstration. From now on, there will be no enmity between me and the Hong family."

When Hong Shaofeng heard Ye Xiao's words, his heart was naturally very unwilling, but in order to obtain the Wind Shadow Steps, he could only nod and, with a smile, looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "You're right, but the condition is that you have to teach us the Wind Shadow Steps!"

Ye Xiao immediately nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you stop troubling me!"

Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed very agreeable to the deal, the boss immediately looked at him with a smile and said, "I can guarantee you that!"

Ye Xiao immediately displayed a friendly and cheerful expression on his face.

However, just at that moment, Yu Laoer, with a chuckling smile that seemed almost like a joke, looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "I heard you've got two stunning beauties with you, is that true?"

Ye Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing Yu Laoer's words, and he looked at Yu Laoer with disgust, saying, "What's it to you?"

Seemingly oblivious to Ye Xiao's dislike, Yu Laoer continued to look at him and chuckled, "Just asking out of curiosity. I've heard about it, so I'm very eager to see for myself!"

"Second Brother, you're making that mistake again!" The eldest was currently enamored with the idea of acquiring the advanced "Wind Shadow Steps" cultivation technique. When he heard Yu Laoer's words, he immediately felt frustrated, as he really didn't want this transaction to be forcefully terminated because of Yu Laoer!

Sure enough, Ye Xiao immediately looked at the eldest and said, "I think this deal is off. Humph, this gentleman even dares to covet my friend—how could that be acceptable?"

"Brother Ye, you've misunderstood," Hong Shaofeng interjected. "My Second Brother was just speaking off the cuff. Even if your friend showed up here, my Second Brother would merely offer a friendly greeting, without any inappropriate thoughts!" Actually, Hong Shaofeng shared the same thoughts as the eldest—if he could get his hands on "Wind Shadow Steps," he felt he could take down Ye Xiao all by himself!

Whether it was intentional or not, as soon as Hong Shaofeng finished his sentence, the door to the villa was suddenly opened, and a figure of grace slowly walked out!

Ye Xiao immediately looked toward the person coming out of the villa entrance—a beauty, a pure and ethereal fairy!

And at this moment, the eldest, Hong Shaofeng, and Yu Laoer looked at the beauty coming out, and their hearts skipped a beat in shock!

"So beautiful!" Yu Laoer exclaimed, gazing at the person emerging.

The person who had come out was none other than Shen Qiuyu!

Shen Qiuyu had completely absorbed the Heart Cleansing Pill. At this moment, she felt her True Qi at its peak condition, and her meridians were much more flawless than before!

Hearing noises from outside the villa, she had promptly come out!

"Who are they?" Upon seeing three men standing outside, Qiuyu's face showed a trace of surprise as she looked to Ye Xiao for an explanation.

Ye Xiao promptly said, "Don't ask, just go back inside the villa!"

From Ye Xiao's expression, Qiuyu could tell that these men were definitely hostile!

"Don't leave!" Yu Laoer, hearing Ye Xiao's directive for Qiuyu to return to the villa, immediately panicked, worried that if Qiuyu went back inside, he wouldn't be able to see her!

Qiuyu, hearing Yu Laoer's words, glared at him with disgust, then turned to head back into the villa!

But at that moment, Yu Laoer suddenly dashed forward, closing in to about a meter from Qiuyu. Ye Xiao looked at Yu Laoer, and Qiuyu's expression turned cold as she faced him, clearly prepared for a fight!

Yu Laoer chuckled and said to Qiuyu, "Hey beautiful, my last name is Yu, you can just call me Brother Yu. Could you tell me your name?"

"No!" Qiuyu replied coldly, then began to head back to the villa.

However, Yu Laoer, becoming even more brazen, stepped forward with the intent of grabbing Qiuyu's wrist. But Ye Xiao reacted swiftly, grabbing Yu Laoer's wrist instead!

"What do you think you're doing?" Ye Xiao asked Yu Laoer, his voice calm.

Yu Laoer, now very close to Ye Xiao, felt confident that Ye Xiao couldn't run away and grabbed Ye Xiao's wrist in return, stating coldly, "Kid, give me the girl, or you will die here today."

"Second Brother, what are you doing?" The eldest, seeing Yu Laoer advance, became worried, but brotherhood was more important than the cultivation techniques, so he just spoke up without further action.

Yu Laoer sneered and said, "Eldest Brother, I've never seen such a beautiful woman before, you better not stop me. I've set my sights on this beauty, and I won't back down from anyone who tries to get in my way!"

The eldest and Hong Shaofeng exchanged a look, both feeling helpless. They knew Yu Laoer's personality all too well; he could do many crazy things for a woman, as if his very existence was to pair up with more women!

Ye Xiao looked at Yu Laoer and said, "Don't you want the 'Wind Shadow Steps' anymore? We just made a deal!"

"What 'Wind Shadow Steps'? I want women, and I want this one. You'd best step aside, or you'll die!" Yu Laoer glared fiercely at Ye Xiao.

Qiuyu immediately looked at Yu Laoer and retorted angrily, "What do you want to do? You better not act recklessly here, or you might be the one who ends up dead."

Yu Laoer burst into laughter upon hearing Qiuyu's words, looking at her and remarking, "I like a woman with this kind of fiery spirit!"

Qiuyu's face turned icy, and she flew into a rage!
