Ye Xiao, hearing Su Yun's words, felt increasingly clear-minded. He revealed a slight smile—if his guess was correct, the latter seven layers might be the evolution of another profound inner strength technique or, perhaps, one of the several incomplete manuscripts no longer in Ye Xiao's possession.

Ye Xiao had heard from Ling Hengyu that decades ago, the imperial authority fell, the Heavenly Book was lost, and among those, the Nine Yang Dragon Skill was scattered in Yan Country while the Nine Yin Phoenix Skill was taken by the allied forces of various countries and scattered overseas.

Previously, Ye Xiao had been suspecting that the Nine Yang Divine Skill might actually be the Nine Yang Dragon Skill, but he wasn't entirely certain. Now, however, he felt somewhat sure that his cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skill was indeed the Nine Yang Dragon Skill. However, he had only obtained four of its incomplete manuscripts and had no knowledge about the whereabouts of the others. From the looks of the Fire Spirit Skill told by Su Yun, Ye Xiao now asserted that the Su family must be hiding one of the manuscripts; he just couldn't tell which one. It seemed a visit to the Su family with Su Yun, when time permitted, might be necessary.

"Ye Xiao, is everything alright?" Su Yun, noticing Ye Xiao's unusual expression, immediately asked.

Ye Xiao shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. After soaking in the Source Life Liquid, it's best to seize the time to cultivate as it seems most effective. Shuya and Yuyan have improved their cultivation speed by twelve times."

"Shuya, Yuyan?" Su Yun asked in slight confusion, "Are you saying Shuya and Yuyan are martial artists too?"

"Hehe, can't they be? Their teachers are martial artists, so why can't they be?" Ye Xiao said lightly with a laugh.

Su Yun immediately responded, "I didn't mean that. You mentioned that the cultivation speed has increased by twelve times, is that true? Since I'm recovering my strength, will my recovery be quicker?"

"How should I know? Why don't you try and find out?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Su Yun nodded, then asked, "Where should I cultivate?"

Ye Xiao immediately pointed at his bed and said, "Since you were willing to share the Fire Spirit Skill with me, I'll endure a bit and let you cultivate on the bed while I'll cultivate on the floor."

"You on the floor? You won't catch a cold, will you?" Su Yun said somewhat worriedly.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and responded, "If you're worried about me catching a cold, then we can both cultivate on the bed together."

"Let's not. I think, as a man, you are probably not that fragile," said Su Yun before she immediately climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.

Seeing Su Yun promptly closing her eyes to cultivate, Ye Xiao cracked a slight smile and then remained quiet, sitting directly on the floor, with purple Qi slowly emanating around him!

However, at this moment, Su Yun's eyes slightly opened, and upon seeing the purple True Qi around Ye Xiao, she gently smiled, then quickly began her true cultivation!

Cultivation always seemed so swift, and in the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Around five in the morning, Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes. The night's cultivation had yielded not bad results. Turning to look at Su Yun still deep in her cultivation on the bed, Ye Xiao smiled slightly and then tiptoed out of the room!

Technically, Ye Xiao was still supposed to be with the Guard Bureau. At night, Heng Zhiyuan Group's people wouldn't go to the Guard Bureau, but during the day, it wasn't certain. If they went and Ye Xiao wasn't there, Wu Quanen and Li Dexi would definitely make a big deal out of it.

Nowadays, online public opinion was fierce; Yang Ming, whom Ye Xiao had helped ascend to the leadership of the Guard Bureau, could very likely be dethroned in an instant. Thus, Ye Xiao decided it was better to return early!

"Ye Xiao!"

As Ye Xiao walked out of the room, he heard someone calling him. Turning around, it was Qiuyu Shen.

At that moment, Qiuyu Shen was coming down the stairs.

"How was last night's cultivation?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile looking at Qiuyu Shen.

Qiuyu Shen replied, "It indeed went well, but it wasn't as effective as Shuya and Yuyan's, only about eight or nine times faster. However, it's still utterly impressive!"

Smiling, Ye Xiao said, "At this rate, you'll soon reach the Xuan Rank. By the way, where are you off to this early?"

"To find you!"

"To find me?" Ye Xiao immediately laughed, "What for?"

"You should be at the Guard Bureau," Qiuyu Shen looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You still need to stay in Minghai City, definitely not acting impulsively, that would only give others a leverage, no good comes from it!"

"Those who know me, Miss Shen as well!" Ye Xiao chuckled, "That's exactly what I'm planning."

"Ye Xiao, you must remain calm in handling this matter!" Qiuyu Shen said earnestly.

Ye Xiao chuckled lightly and responded, "Of course, senior sister, I'm off; I leave the house in your hands."

"Don't you like calling me Miss Shen?" Qiuyu Shen gently smiled.

Ye Xiao, without looking back, chuckled and replied, "But right now, I feel like calling you senior sister."

As Ye Xiao left, Qiuyu sighed, wishing she didn't have to see Ye Xiao carrying the burden of uncovering his parents' origins every day!

But these were not things she could change.

Ye Xiao didn't drive after leaving Sunshine Garden but walked instead. Coincidentally, as he stepped out of the Sunshine Garden, he saw Qin Erzhu and his wife with Qin Yulu pushing their breakfast cart towards their stall.

As Qin Yulu also happened to see Ye Xiao, he immediately walked over.

"Isn't this Ye Xiao?" Qin Erzhu and his wife said smilingly as they saw him.

"Uncle, Auntie, setting up your stall so early!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Qin Erzhu replied, "Yes, the earlier you start selling breakfast, the better, otherwise, all the customers will have eaten by the time we set up. Ye Xiao, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? We're about to set up and we have hot buns and eight-treasure porridge."

Last time Ye Xiao had helped the Qin family greatly, and also because Qin Erzhu had offended Zhang Zihao, he felt somewhat guilty towards Ye Xiao. Thus, every time they saw Ye Xiao, the couple was extremely enthusiastic. Not only were Qin Erzhu and his wife enthusiastic about Ye Xiao, but they also hoped that Qin Yulu would be too. Of course, it wasn't just because Ye Xiao had shown kindness to the Qin family, but Qin Erzhu felt that Ye Xiao was extraordinary, and if his only daughter ended up with Ye Xiao, she would likely lead a good life in the future.

"Lulu, we'll walk ahead, you young people chat for a bit, no hurry to come over!" Qin Erzhu's wife said to Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu, completely aware of her parents' intentions, immediately said to her parents, "Aren't we setting up the stall? We need hands!"
