Guan Xiaonan felt helpless; against a shameless guy like Ye Xiao, she had no recourse, and at this moment, she urgently needed to return to school. The exam had already started, and the subject in the afternoon was math, which was not her strong suit.

A few seconds of hesitation later, Guan Xiaonan lifted her hand and fixed her gaze on Ye Xiao's left hand before she placed her hand on the back of Ye Xiao's left hand, which controlled the gearshift.

Ye Xiao saw Guan Xiaonan, who appeared somewhat nervous, and couldn't help but smile. Then he took a quick glance at Guan Xiaonan before gently releasing the clutch and starting up the Q Ray.

Ye Xiao drove quickly, at least much faster than most people. Originally, Guan Xiaonan had only lightly placed her hand on the back of Ye Xiao's hand, but when Ye Xiao raced the Q Ray on the road, Guan Xiaonan subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly. Naturally, that was the effect Ye Xiao was aiming for, so Guan Xiaonan kept hold of Ye Xiao's hand the entire trip, which made him very happy.

"Big sister, are you addicted to holding on?" After stopping the Q Ray, Ye Xiao teased her with a smile.

When Guan Xiaonan heard Ye Xiao's words, she immediately realized that her hand was still on the back of Ye Xiao's hand, and at that moment, there were several red finger marks on the back of Ye Xiao's hand, clearly a result of Ye Xiao's fast driving and her nervous, subconscious grip.

Seeing the red finger marks, Guan Xiaonan immediately apologized to Ye Xiao, "I'm really sorry."

"Forget the apologies, but if you could kiss these red marks, I'm sure they'd heal up nicely," Ye Xiao said to Guan Xiaonan with a hehe smirk.

Guan Xiaonan immediately glared at Ye Xiao fiercely and then quickly opened the car door and ran towards the inside of the car.

"You shameless fellow," Guan Xiaonan said angrily at Ye Xiao inside the car after getting out.

Ye Xiao smiled triumphantly and said, "Another day, I'll make you fried sauce noodles, but next time, I hope no one interrupts my good time again."

Guan Xiaonan understood exactly what Ye Xiao meant and immediately shot him an angry glare before quickly walking towards the school.

However, when she arrived at the school gate, she was stopped by two young men dressed in custom-designed, all-black security uniforms.

"Hello, please show your student ID." Although the two security guards were surprised by Guan Xiaonan's appearance, they looked at her seriously.

When Guan Xiaonan had left earlier, she hadn't encountered these people at the school gate. She'd only been gone for a short while; how had these two shown up? And where had the gate security gone?

Guan Xiaonan's student ID was in her classroom; how could she have it on her at this moment? Additionally, the exam had already started nearly half an hour ago, and she was incredibly anxious, yet these two were blocking her way, making her even more furious.

"Get out of the way, who doesn't know that Guan Xiaonan is a student of Minghai Academy? You dare to stop me?" Guan Xiaonan was once one of the seven influential figures at Minghai Academy, famously known as the tyrant flower of Minghai, and bullying others was not a new deed for her.

"Sorry, if you can show your student ID, I will let you pass, but if you don't have it, it's absolutely impossible," one of the young men said to Guan Xiaonan in a cold voice.

Guan Xiaonan intended to walk straight in, but she was blocked by the two hulking figures of the security guards.

As the minutes of the exam time ticked by, being blocked here was a serious problem.

At this point, Guan Xiaonan didn't want to waste words and was ready to force her way through, prepared to fight if need be.

But at that moment, someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

Guan Xiaonan immediately turned her head to look and found that Ye Xiao had already parked the car and came up to her side with a smile.

"Why are you pulling me?" Guan Xiaonan asked Ye Xiao, puzzled.

Ye Xiao glanced at the 'Tianxing Security' written on the two security guards' uniforms and immediately understood that these people must be from Tianxing Security Company, in other words, members of Blood Blade.

Ye Xiao was also surprised; Zhou Hao's efficiency was quite impressive, having the members of Blood Blade take their posts so quickly.

"This must be the new security company hired by the school; they are also considering our safety," Ye Xiao said to Guan Xiaonan with a smile.

Guan Xiaonan was immediately very puzzled when she heard Ye Xiao's words; why was this guy seeming to act against his interests?

But at that moment, Ye Xiao looked at one of the young men and said, "Where's your team leader? Have him come here, just say someone with the surname Ye is now at the school entrance."

"Someone with the surname Ye?" Although both of them were Blood Blade members, they really didn't recognize Ye Xiao. However, since this person knew the title of 'team leader,' he obviously wasn't just anyone.

So, one of the guards said, "He's gone for a patrol inside the campus. I'll have him come back now."

The guard immediately used his walkie-talkie to contact Lu Sen, informing him that someone with the surname Ye was at the entrance. At first, Lu Sen didn't know why someone with the surname Ye would be there. But then, it occurred to him that Brother Xiao's surname was Ye. As he was currently tasked with protecting Minghai Academy, he didn't dare to slack off and immediately ordered his subordinate, "I'm heading there now. Make sure they don't leave."

"Please wait a moment; our team leader will be here shortly," said the guard politely, yet with no intention of letting them pass, which obviously showed that the security was very strict.

Guan Xiaonan was angry because every second they were delayed was a second lost from the exam, which was the last thing she wanted. But at this moment, Ye Xiao seemed not to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face, seemingly quite satisfied with the two men. He even took out a cigarette for them. Oddly enough, the two guards were like two blocks of ice. When they saw Ye Xiao take out a cigarette, they didn't reach for it. Instead, they didn't even glance at Ye Xiao and said, "Sorry, no smoking while on duty."

When Guan Xiaonan heard what the guard said, she burst out laughing because, in her eyes, it was just too ludicrous. Moreover, she thought these two guards were clearly just putting on airs.

"Hmph, you guys are really disciplined, aren't you? I think you're just pretending," Guan Xiaonan snorted. If it weren't for Ye Xiao grabbing her arm just earlier, she would have forced her way in by now.

Guan Xiaonan was also puzzled. Offering a cigarette was supposed to be a gesture of politeness, and accepting it would be too. But they hadn't, and the smile on Ye Xiao's face only grew bigger, as if he was extremely pleased, which made Guan Xiaonan even more baffled.

It wasn't long before two people ran out from the school, Zhou Hao and Lu Sen.

As the team leader of Blood Blade and the leader of the first team, Zhou Hao and Lu Sen took it upon themselves to patrol after Blood Blade officially stationed themselves at Minghai Academy, also signaling to all their members the importance of their first task.

In fact, upon receiving the notification from their subordinates, Zhou Hao and Lu Sen had already suspected that this person with the surname Ye was indeed Ye Xiao.

After they arrived, Zhou Hao and Lu Sen saw Ye Xiao and hurried over. Both of them walked quickly towards Ye Xiao. Guan Xiaonan immediately tensed up, ready for a fight.

However, she then heard Zhou Hao and Lu Sen respectfully address Ye Xiao when they approached him, "Boss (Brother Xiao)."

After hearing this, Guan Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, clearly confused as to what was going on.

Ye Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "You've worked hard."

"Brother Xiao is too kind," Lu Sen said with earnest, looking at Ye Xiao.

At that moment, the two guards were also taken aback because the number one rule in Blood Blade was to unconditionally obey Brother Xiao's orders. Now, hearing Lu Sen and Zhou Hao call the slim, pale young man in front of them 'Brother Xiao' and 'Boss,' they realized that this was indeed the legendary Brother Xiao.

In the hearts of Blood Blade members, Ye Xiao was akin to a deity, expected to be very burly. Many in Heavenly Gate had never seen Ye Xiao, so his image was distorted through rumors, leading to a significant discrepancy between the imagined Ye Xiao and the reality in the minds of Heavenly Gate members.

"Brother Sen, are you saying this is Brother Xiao?" The two members immediately looked at Ye Xiao in astonishment, at the same time addressing Lu Sen.

Lu Sen just laughed and said to them, "Yeah. Haven't you always wanted to meet Brother Xiao? How come you don't even greet him now that you've seen him? And you even blocked him from entering the campus?"

Lu Sen was joking, but to the two guards, his words were a brow-raiser. They looked at Ye Xiao respectfully, saluted, and then said, "Brother Xiao, we're sorry, we did not recognize you."

"No, you don't need to apologize. You did the right thing," Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Lu Sen and Zhou Hao. "They deserve a reward."

Zhou Hao immediately replied with a smile, "Boss, I understand."

Meanwhile, Guan Xiaonan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. What on earth was happening? Were all these people under Ye Xiao?

"Ye Xiao, are all these men your subordinates?" Guan Xiaonan asked, perplexed.

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head, smiling as he looked at Zhou Hao, Lu Sen, and the others and said, "They are my brothers, brothers who spare no effort for my sake."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao, Lu Sen, and the others felt a warm tide wash over them. They were deeply touched by Ye Xiao's words. They had always thought of Ye Xiao as an emperor, unapproachable, but now it seemed that Ye Xiao was not like that at all. He was their brother, one of them, united with them.
