Following that, the setup was pretty straightforward. Lu Sen was appointed by Ye Xiao as the deputy captain of Blood Blade and also served as the leader of the first group. At this time, Blood Blade was divided into three groups, each with 23 members and a group leader, a provisional arrangement to safeguard the security of Minghai Academy.

In other words, with the team leader included, each group had 24 people, who patrolled non-stop during the 24 hours of the day. After the first 24 hours passed, the second group took over, and the first group rested. Then, after another 24 hours, the third group took over. Once the cycle was complete, it all started again with the first group!

In this way, every group member had ample rest time, although some of their rest time was taken up with training, of course.

Blood Blade was immature at present, or rather, they were like a tiger that had yet to grow its teeth—they lacked any significant harmful power!

The task of training fell to Zhou Hao, whose responsibility was to train these people to at least the level of super special forces soldiers. Huo Feng had it much easier. Although she was also a member of Blood Blade, she did whatever she wanted without being subject to Zhou Hao's control!

The place where Huo Feng stayed was changed from a hotel to the Blue-tailed Fox KTV. To ensure Huo Feng's safety during her cultivation, her room was equipped with the best soundproofing. There, Ye Xiao no longer worried about Huo Feng's safety. After all, in Ye Xiao's eyes, Huo Feng was still just a fledgling phoenix—she might be somewhat capable against ordinary people, but against real enemies, especially martial artists, she held no significant harmful power.

"Is the company established?" After arranging for Blood Blade personnel, Ye Xiao then looked towards Zhao Dapeng.

Zhao Dapeng immediately replied, "The company has been established and is called Tianxing Security Company. From now on, the brothers of Blood Blade will join Tianxing Security, and their external identity will naturally be that of Tianxing Security."

Ye Xiao nodded then said, "Good. Zhou Hao, come with me."

"Where to?" Zhou Hao asked in confusion.

"Of course, to Minghai Academy. The company is established, and the staffing is complete. Now, what we need to do is get to work as soon as possible," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Then, the two of them left the Blue-tailed Fox KTV directly. As they were leaving, they told Gao Shuang to hurry and bandage his wounds. Gao Shuang immediately nodded in agreement and was also quite surprised by Ye Xiao's thoughtful concern.

Lu Sen, Gao Shuang, and Tian Yi, each leading more than twenty people, were about to commence their responsibilities, so they all began to wait.

"Zhou Hao, was I a bit too serious just now?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile as they walked.

Zhou Hao immediately replied, "Brother Xiao, that wasn't serious. Isn't this the very purpose of establishing Blood Blade?"

Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao exchanged a knowing smile, then said nothing more.

Inside the principal's office at Minghai Academy!

Yao Zhengming sat in his office chair feeling not at all bad. Though Ye Xiao had put him and Deng Yuanfeng through quite an ordeal in the conference room yesterday, Ye Xiao was right—so long as Yao Zhengming didn't stir up any trouble, he was still the principal of Minghai Academy, a true 'Emperor' of his domain!

In Minghai Academy, as long as he didn't provoke Ye Xiao, Yao Zhengming was still a very formidable figure.

"Today's exams are already halfway through, and the discipline in the various examination rooms has been very good. This is all thanks to Principal Yao's authority!" a male teacher wearing glasses flattered Yao Zhengming, who was puffing on a cigarette.

Yao Zhengming burst out laughing and said pompously, "How could you say that? It's because the teachers of Minghai Academy are excellent and have nurtured so many outstanding students!"

"Principal Yao's discernment in recruiting and utilizing people is unparalleled. Under your leadership, Minghai Academy is sure to advance step by step towards its peak," the teacher spared no compliments.

Yao Zhengming, delighted with the flattery, squinted his eyes to slits. Forget the rest—in Minghai Academy, almost everyone had to look out for his moods. He felt he was living the life of an immortal; he really didn't want Deng Yuanfeng to seek revenge against Ye Xiao anymore because he was content with the status quo!

One could say that if he had known earlier how troublesome Ye Xiao was, Yao Zhengming would not have initiated conflict. So, now, Yao Zhengming felt some regret.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The door to the office was knocked on, and Yao Zhengming immediately said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and there stood two people.

As soon as Yao Zhengming saw the one standing in front, he stood up reflexively, his eyes wide in surprise as he quickly said, "Mr... Mr. Ye!"

At this moment, the teacher who had just been eagerly flattering someone in the office froze, his face a moment ago radiated triumph. He had greatly enjoyed the flattery of Yao Zhengming, but now, why did he seem like a mouse that had just seen a cat?

Yesterday's meeting was one that only Yao Zhengming's closest confidants or those with significant capabilities within the school and board could attend. Clearly, this teacher wasn't at that level.

Ye Xiao looked on with a smile as Yao Zhengming, the current highest leader of Minghai Academy, displayed a face full of tension.

"Principal Yao, do you have a moment? I would like to talk to you about the school's security issues," Ye Xiao said with his trademark smile on his face.

As soon as Yao Zhengming heard Ye Xiao's words, he immediately said, "Of course, the security of the school is of the utmost importance. Um, someone, go and pour some water!"

"No need, I'm not thirsty," Ye Xiao said.

"The principal didn't tell you to drink, who do you think you are?" The teacher hadn't understood the situation yet. Since he didn't think Ye Xiao was any significant figure, he said to Ye Xiao with a displeased face.

Yao Zhengming, hearing this teacher's words, reacted as if he had been stepped on the tail, immediately looking at the teacher in surprise and anger, "Who are you talking to? Get out!"

The teacher, not understanding the situation, thought he was on the same side as the principal. Why would the principal scold him? So he immediately said, "Principal, this student is too..."

"If you don't get out now, I'll have you permanently removed from Minghai Academy!" Yao Zhengming knew he couldn't let this flatterer continue speaking. The more he talked, the worse it would be; he still wanted to hear those sweet flatteries. If he were truly forced to expel such a person, how could he enjoy such pleasant flattery in the future?

Seeing Yao Zhengming's fury, the teacher didn't dare to say more and quickly left the principal's office, also closing the door behind him.

Although Yao Zhengming was the principal of Minghai Academy, at this moment, he didn't have the air of a principal at all. Instead, he hurriedly circled his desk to approach Ye Xiao, "Mr. Ye, please take a seat here, it's more comfortable."

Ye Xiao glanced at the seat Yao Zhengming had just been sitting in, shook his head, and pointed to the couch beside, "I'll just sit, that's the principal's seat. I would never presume to overstep like that."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yao Zhengming really wanted to point at Ye Xiao's nose and curse him for being so pretentious. It was clear that whatever Ye Xiao said would go, yet he still acted as if he was powerless.

Yao Zhengming, seeing Ye Xiao sitting on the couch, didn't dare to sit in his own seat anymore and instead stood beside Ye Xiao, bending over slightly, looking every bit like a lackey.

"Mr. Ye, you were just talking about the security issue; has the person you found arrived?" Yao Zhengming quickly inquired of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao pointed to Zhou Hao, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "His name is Zhou Hao; he is the Deputy General Manager of Tianxing Security Company. He will bring some security personnel to implement the security plans we discussed previously, Principal Yao."

Discussed?

Yao Zhengming internally chuckled. Was that called a discussion?

Yao Zhengming wasn't foolish; he knew that this so-called Deputy General Manager named Zhou Hao was definitely one of Ye Xiao's people. Otherwise, how could a company's Deputy General Manager not even sit down?

Yao Zhengming quickly said to Zhou Hao with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, Minghai Academy's security will rely heavily on Mr. Zhou's attention from now on!"

Zhou Hao looked at Yao Zhengming and said indifferently, "Principal Yao, rest assured, Tianxing Security Company is a top-notch security firm, and we will do our professional duty."

"Oh, I wonder when Tianxing Security Company was established? I haven't heard of it before. Was it established in another district?" Yao Zhengming casually asked.

Zhou Hao said, "Tianxing Security Company was established just yesterday."

Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Yao Zhengming's face twitched slightly. Founded just yesterday? Wasn't it established just for Minghai Academy? It was hard for Yao Zhengming not to figure out its purpose!

Although Yao Zhengming had his thoughts, with Ye Xiao there, he dared not say anything. In fact, even if Ye Xiao weren't there, he would still dare not speak. After all, Zhou Hao was one of Ye Xiao's people, and Zhou Hao's responsibility for such an important matter meant that his relationship with Ye Xiao was certainly no ordinary one.

Yao Zhengming quickly said to Zhou Hao with a smile, "Tianxing Security is a rising star. I have one hundred and twenty percent confidence in Tianxing Security. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, how did the exam go? The answers I gave you were helpful, right?"

Ye Xiao knew that Yao Zhengming was trying to take credit, so he simply said with a smile, "It was alright; I left the examination room early, having finished."

Yao Zhengming said, "Just memorizing a few of those answers should get you a passing score. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't have shared them, but I had to give them to Mr. Ye for you to research the test questions. I hope those answers were helpful; otherwise, I would be losing sleep!"

Listening to Yao Zhengming's words, Ye Xiao could clearly decipher his intent. However, Ye Xiao had no good feelings toward Yao Zhengming at all!
