Shen Qiuyu and Chu Qinger arrived quickly and left quickly, and Ye Xiao stood at the villa's entrance, sighing!

The two of them were definitely the most important women in Ye Xiao's heart at the moment. The last thing Ye Xiao wanted was for them to be hurt. In this world, he felt the safest place was none other than Qiu Mountain!

Qiu Mountain has a long history and holds a very high prestige in the Martial Arts World; hence, for hundreds of years, no one has dared to cause trouble on Qiu Mountain!

Hong Shaofeng!

Thinking of this name, Ye Xiao felt some inner turmoil. He believed that as long as the opponent was not a Xuan Rank expert, he could have a chance to defeat them. Even if they were Xuan Rank experts, with the Internal Cultivation Methods that Ye Xiao practiced, he at least wouldn't have a problem escaping!

But could Ye Xiao leave? What about Ling Shuya?

Of course, Ye Xiao had no relation to Ling Shuya, but protecting her was the key to potentially finding out his parents' identities and where his home truly was.

Every child away from home longs to return, and Ye Xiao was no exception!

Having been on Qiu Mountain for over a decade, he constantly dreamt of discovering who his parents really were. Now that he had a lead, Ye Xiao didn't want to give up because of some threats. Moreover, was Ye Xiao truly someone who easily gave up?

Ye Xiao looked up at the sky, gave a cold smile, and murmured, "Alright, what's meant to come will always come, I'll meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth!"

After returning to his room, Ye Xiao took a bath and then immediately resumed practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

What Ye Xiao needed now was to hurry and advance in the Nine Yang Divine Skill. If he could break through the second layer and reach the third layer, then Ye Xiao wouldn't need to worry about Hong Shaofeng anymore. According to the records of Nine Yang Divine Skill, reaching the third layer was equivalent to reaching the Early Xuan Rank!

Xuan Rank was considered a distant dream in the eyes of countless Martial Artists, but now Ye Xiao only needed a breakthrough to achieve it!

Ye Xiao was excited but also anxious because he always felt that he was very close to a breakthrough, yet something was slightly off, which he couldn't understand—could it be that there was an issue with his comprehension?

Ye Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, the Nine Yang True Qi rapidly circulating through his meridians. Everything was progressing naturally, and the storage of Nine Yang True Qi was also orderly increasing. At this point, Ye Xiao had essentially reached the Yellow Rank Peak. At Yellow Rank, Ye Xiao could arguably fear no one!

Before long, Ye Xiao noticed Weei Jie's car arriving, so he immediately left the room and went to the villa's entrance, opening the door to find Weei Jie indeed arriving!

Weei Jie had come to deliver food, and while smiling, he said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, tomorrow morning your driver's license will be delivered, so at noon tomorrow, you should go to the school gate, I'll hand over the car to you!"

Ye Xiao was puzzled and said, "Hand over the car to me? Uncle Weei, you surely can't mean to let me drive Miss Ling around from now on!"

Weei Jie said, "This is also Mr. Ling's idea!"

Ye Xiao said, "Oh, speaking of a raise!"

Weei Jie chuckled, "That's inevitable!"

Ye Xiao said, "Uncle Weei, I really suspect Mr. Ling is somewhat of a capitalist!"

Weei Jie appeared puzzled!

Ye Xiao said, "He wants to squeeze every bit of labor out of me!"

Weei Jie laughed heartily and said, "Whether Mr. Ling is a capitalist or not, you'll find out later. I'm just passing the message!"

Ye Xiao asked, "What about the meals then? Will you still deliver them?"

Weei Jie said, "I won't come tomorrow night. If the young lady still wants to eat, I will occasionally deliver!"

Listening to Weei Jie's words, Ye Xiao immediately felt as if this carried an implication of entrusting Ling Shuya to him.

...

A quiet night passed, and the next morning, Ye Xiao rose early and practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill for an hour just as Weei Jie arrived!

After breakfast, he hurried to school with Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan in the car!

"Shuya, I need to take leave this afternoon to go to Jinchen!" Zhou Yuyan said to Ling Shuya while sitting in the car.

Ling Shuya asked, "Is there something you need to attend to when you return?"

Zhou Yuyan said, "My brother has come back from abroad; he wants to visit grandma with me!"

Ling Shuya asked, "When will you be back?"

"I definitely won't make it back tonight!" Zhou Yuyan said with a bitter smile.

Hearing that Zhou Yuyan wouldn't return tonight, Ling Shuya's brow furrowed slightly. Then, Zhou Yuyan chuckled and whispered a few words in Ling Shuya's ear, making Ling Shuya's cheeks flush red as she scolded Zhou Yuyan, "You, naughty girl, are looking for trouble!"

Zhou Yuyan giggled!

It wasn't long before Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan arrived at Minghai Academy. Ye Xiao walking with two beautiful ladies certainly drew a lot of attention. Perhaps because Ye Xiao wasn't handsome enough, almost everyone thought that Ye Xiao walking with their goddess was a kind of blasphemy, so they all glared murderously at him!

Yet Ye Xiao didn't care at all, on the contrary, he deliberately walked very close to Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, strutting proudly!

"Feeling proud, are you?" Ling Shuya asked with a stern face, closely following behind her!

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Not bad!"

Just then, suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Ye Xiao!"

When Ye Xiao heard his name being called, he immediately looked back puzzled, while Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan also turned to look at the caller!

However, to Ye Xiao's surprise, the one calling him was a woman, and not just any woman, but a beauty!

This beauty was almost known by everyone at Minghai Academy!

Lin Dieying, the only beauty at Minghai Academy known as the 'Commoner School Beauty'!

Ye Xiao was also puzzled. Lin Dieying was so angry with him yesterday; why was she calling him today in public?

Meanwhile, seeing that it was Lin Dieying who called Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were very puzzled. When did Ye Xiao and Lin Dieying get to know each other?

Yesterday, Ye Xiao had left the school with a beautiful woman, and at that time, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan speculated that she might be Ye Xiao's girlfriend. Now, with Lin Dieying calling out to Ye Xiao, it inevitably fueled further speculation!

"Hey, Ye Xiao, when did you manage to win over the Commoner School Beauty?" Zhou Yuyan teased with a giggle.

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's comment, Ling Shuya immediately said, "That's inappropriate!"

Then Ling Shuya walked away, and seeing her leave, Zhou Yuyan, laughing, also departed!

Seeing Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan leave, Ye Xiao thought to himself, how was he being inappropriate? Was knowing Lin Dieying somehow linked to being proper? Besides, it was Lin Dieying who called him, not the other way around. He needed to clear this up!

Ye Xiao then walked over to Lin Dieying, smiled, and said, "Classmate Lin Dieying, is there something you need?"

Lin Dieying had an expressionless face, seemingly troubled by something. After about half a minute, she finally spoke, "Can you pretend to be my boyfriend?"

Lin Dieying's request startled Ye Xiao, making him doubt what his ears had heard!

"What did you say?" Ye Xiao asked again for emphasis.

Lin Dieying repeated, "I said, can you pretend to be my boyfriend?"

Ye Xiao asked, "Why?"

Lin Dieying just said, "Just tell me if you can do it!"

Ye Xiao said, "Well, I'm afraid it might not look good for you, see, I'm neither handsome nor rich. For a beauty with wealth like you, naturally, you should be with a tall, rich, and handsome man!"

Lin Dieying immediately turned and walked away!

Seeing that Lin Dieying seemed angry again, Ye Xiao quickly followed her and said, "What exactly happened? You have to tell me before I can decide!"

After thinking again, Lin Dieying replied, "There's a guy who keeps pestering me to be his girlfriend. I can't help it!"

"So, you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend and then get that guy to give up?" Ye Xiao said.

Lin Dieying nodded and said, "Pretty much!"

Ye Xiao said, "If that's all, no problem. When and where?"

Lin Dieying said, "I told him that I would bring my boyfriend to meet him this morning. Uh, are you afraid of getting beaten up?"

"Getting beaten up?" Ye Xiao laughed and said, "No need to worry; it's always me who does the beating!"

"That's good, let's go. It's almost time for class; we must settle this before it begins!" Lin Dieying said.

"Let's go then!" Ye Xiao agreed.

Afterward, Ye Xiao followed Lin Dieying toward an academic building!

"This is the senior class's building, right?" Ye Xiao observed before entering, spotting the 'Grade 3' sign.

Lin Dieying nodded and asked, "Are you scared?"

Although he was only pretending to be the boyfriend, since he was the boyfriend, he had to support his girlfriend. Ye Xiao's shoulders weren't very broad, but holding up the sky for her wasn't too difficult. Besides, boys always tend to show their strongest side in front of girls!

"Scared?" Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "My dictionary doesn't have the word 'scared' in it!"

Lin Dieying, hearing this, remained silent and just continued walking until they reached the third floor, where two young men from the senior classes stopped them.

"Isn't this Lin Dieying? Are you looking for Brother Xiong?" One young man chuckled as he spoke, his eyes leering over Lin Dieying's body.

Lin Dieying, expressionless, said, "Yes, he asked me to bring my boyfriend today, and now I have!"

"Boyfriend?" The young man was slightly startled and then looked over at Ye Xiao beside Lin Dieying.

"Are you her boyfriend?" The young man frowned and said coldly.

Ye Xiao, unafraid, stepped forward, grabbed Lin Dieying's small hand, and chuckled at the man, "What do you think?"

Lin Dieying's hand, grasped by Ye Xiao, trembled slightly. She glanced at Ye Xiao, who looked relaxed, as if it were the most natural thing.
