A few girls walked out with a laugh, and Su Yun was the last to leave. As she passed by Ye Xiao, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Did you manage to offend Yuyan?"

"I guess so!" Ye Xiao replied with a wry smile on his face.

"How could someone as clever as you still manage to offend a girl?" Su Yun said with a slight smile and walked away.

Yeah, how could someone as clever as him still manage to offend a girl?

Ye Xiao couldn't think of an answer himself.

Subsequently, Ye Xiao also left the office, after all, this was Su Yun's office, a Chinese teacher's office. What business did a student like him have staying here alone?

Although Zhou Yuyan seemed somewhat annoyed with Ye Xiao just now, he still followed the girls out of the teaching building.

Downstairs, Shen Qiuyu also arrived.

When Shen Qiuyu saw Ye Xiao, she didn't seem as surprised as the others. It was as if it was only natural for Ye Xiao to be there.

Shen Qiuyu never had blind admiration for Ye Xiao, only a very simple confidence.

After descending the stairs, Ye Xiao learned from the girls that Tang Rong had been sent to a secondary section of a place called 'Sainte Des School.'

Sainte Des School was the only international bilingual school in Minghai City, similar to Minghai Academy. It was also a prestigious school but one that was even more aristocratic than Minghai Academy. To attend Minghai Academy, one either had to have good academic results or be able to afford the high tuition fees. However, Sainte Des School only accepted one kind of student, and that was those who were nobility—of course, this school's definition of nobility was simply those who could afford it. The biggest owner of Sainte Des was someone from the Northern Federation, according to what Ling Shuya said.

Nevertheless, Ye Xiao believed it was true.

Originally, Ye Xiao was supposed to go with these girls to pick up Tang Rong. Of course, that would have been the case if a small incident hadn't occurred next. Without it, he surely would have continued as their designated driver.

"Brother Xiong, stop joking. If I listen to you, Brother Zhan and Brother Weii Yang would beat me to death!" When Ye Xiao and the others passed near a pavilion at Minghai Academy, such a voice came from the other side of the pavilion.

"Is someone fighting?" Zhou Yuyan, who loved to see the world in chaos, immediately ran over upon hearing these discordant noises.

How much Ye Xiao wanted to tell her not to join the commotion, but Zhou Yuyan was already on her way, and if Zhou Yuyan went, then naturally Ling Shuya also ran over without wanting to be outdone.

"Xiong Tao, bullying someone here?" Zhou Yuyan stuck her head out, and when she saw Xiong Tao grabbing a student by the collar, she immediately became angry and roared righteously at Xiong Tao.

Upon hearing someone talking, Xiong Tao immediately turned his head to look at the speaker.

For Xiong Tao, who was very familiar with Zhou Yuyan, one of Minghai Academy's beauty queens, he would have made a move on Zhou Yuyan and Ling Shuya long ago if it weren't for Hengyu Group.

"Ah, it turns out to be Beauty Zhou and Beauty Ling, huh? Which gust of wind blew the two big school belles over here?" Xiong Tao said cheerfully, releasing the student's collar and smiling at Zhou Yuyan and Ling Shuya.

"I haven't heard about Brother Xiong bullying anyone recently. Why have you started the old trade again? Haven't Zhan Bo, Sun Yuze, and Weii Yang already established a rule in Minghai Academy against arbitrarily bullying schoolmates?" Ling Shuya looked at Xiong Tao with not a care in the world.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Xiong Tao immediately looked annoyed. He hated people mentioning Heavenly Gate Security Company in front of him. Others might not know, but he was aware that Heavenly Gate Security Company was covertly controlled by Ye Xiao. The Xiong family had grievances with Ye Xiao. Even though they weren't talking about Heavenly Gate Security Company now, were not Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze all people from Heavenly Gate Security Company? Moreover, they were now significant figures in the company, so Xiong Tao felt that Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were using Ye Xiao to press him down.

"Beauty Ling, what you said is not right. This is a school, and only the school can set rules for the school. Whether I follow the school's rules depends on my mood!" Xiong Tao replied with an air of arrogance.

"Is that so? Then how is Brother Xiong feeling right now?" Ye Xiao's voice came from behind Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, followed by Ye Xiao's appearance.

Xiong Tao still had a nonchalant expression on his face, but when he saw Ye Xiao, he couldn't help but feel a little startled and said, "Ye Xiao? Oh no, Brother Xiao!"

"Brother Xiong, why so courteous?" Ye Xiao said with a smile: "Your tone just now didn't sound like that."

"Brother Xiao, you must have heard wrong. I have great admiration for Brother Xiao, and I have always admired how you conduct yourself. I've been wanting to invite Brother Xiao out to play, but I was afraid you wouldn't give me the honor!" Xiong Tao said with a smile to Ye Xiao, which was completely different from his arrogance before Ye Xiao appeared.

Zhou Yuyan saw how quickly Xiong Tao changed his tune and immediately said, "Xiong Tao, didn't you just say that in the school, the rules are set by the school, and Ye Xiao is not part of school leadership."

"He's not part of school leadership, but I've always seen him as my leader. Brother Xiao is smart, a real talent. In this society, only those with brains and talent get to make the rules!" Xiong Tao was taking his flattery to the extreme at this moment.

"Xiong Tao, can't you speak the truth? If you said you can't beat him and have to yield to his tyranny, I might believe you. But you're saying he's your leader? That's blatant ass-kissing!" Zhou Yuyan said without giving face.

"Absolutely not!" Xiong Tao was now afraid that a displeased Ye Xiao might give him a beating. Although his father was very powerful, he wasn't by his side right now, so face was of no concern to him anymore, and he continued, "Brother Xiao, if you're willing, why don't we go out and have some fun? It's also a way to strengthen our friendship!"

"He won't go hang out with you." Zhou Yuyan looked at Xiong Tao with contempt. They were about to go and pick up Tang Rong, so she said to Xiong Tao, "Do you think you have that much face?"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Xiong Tao's face flushed with alternating shades of red. If Ye Xiao wasn't here, Xiong Tao would not be speaking so politely!

But at this moment, Ye Xiao slowly said, "Since Xiong Tao is so sincere, wouldn't I be too rude if I didn't go? After all, we're all friends."

As soon as Xiong Tao heard Ye Xiao's words, he immediately chuckled and said, "Brother Xiao is right, we're all friends. So how about it? If the ladies are willing, we can all go together!"

Zhou Yuyan said, "Fine, I'll go!"

At that moment, Shen Qiuyu, who had followed them, said to Zhou Yuyan, "Yuyan, we have to pick someone up."

Remembering they had to pick up Tang Rong, Zhou Yuyan then said, "We'll go after picking up the person."

However, Ye Xiao said, "Don't mind me, I still have some man-to-man talk with Xiong old bro here, which isn't suitable for you all to hear!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Yuyan got even more annoyed and pointed at Xiong Tao with a huff, "You still have man-to-man talk with someone like him? Hmph, go ahead and talk!"

After saying that, Zhou Yuyan immediately turned and left, with Ling Shuya glancing at Ye Xiao before following Zhou Yuyan out.

Shen Qiuyu and Su Yun both looked puzzled, not understanding what Ye Xiao was up to today!

But who was Ye Xiao? He wouldn't do something meaningless without reason. Just like now, since Ye Xiao had decided to go out with Xiong Tao, he naturally had his own intentions!

He urgently needed a way to stop Xiong Tao from bothering Guan Xiaonan, and more importantly, Xiong Tao also could not divulge Guan Chongshan's secret. That was the real solution to the problem.

If Ye Xiao hadn't run into Xiong Tao today, he would have indeed had to find an opportunity to make contact with Xiong Tao. Since Xiong Tao had just invited Ye Xiao to hang out, regardless of whether Xiong Tao was sincere or not, at least Ye Xiao would take the chance, making it hard for Xiong Tao to take back his words!

Xiong Tao certainly did not expect Ye Xiao to really want to hang out with him, so when he heard Ye Xiao's words, he was slightly startled and surprised, but his expression quickly returned to natural.

Xiong Tao had really just wanted to express his friendliness to Ye Xiao, hence the invitation to go out. But unexpectedly, Ye Xiao actually agreed to go, and without bringing Ling Shuya and the others!

"Brother Xiong, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, watching Xiong Tao.

"How could that be?" Xiong Tao said, "I'm just trying to think of the best place to hang out. Does Brother Xiao have any favorite spots?"

"The host decides, naturally it's up to you, Brother Xiong!" Ye Xiao casually replied, then turned to the student whom he had bullied earlier, asking, "What's the deal with this student?"

Hearing Ye Xiao calling him 'Brother Xiong' again and again, Xiong Tao really didn't like the taste of it. It wasn't that he didn't want to be addressed that way by Ye Xiao, but in the current context, it felt like Ye Xiao was doing it on purpose.

"Brother Xiao, don't call me Brother Xiong anymore. Am I some kind of boss now? I'm willing to be a pawn in front of Brother Xiao's horse!" Xiong Tao said.

Ye Xiao instantly replied, "Alright, I won't call you Brother Xiong then. You're older than me, so I'll just call you Brother Tao."

"This… "

"Don't 'this and that.' It's decided, just like that. And you still haven't told me what happened here!" Ye Xiao said, looking at Xiong Tao.

Seeing that Ye Xiao kept asking about the issue, Xiong Tao's mind raced before he hastily replied, "Brother Xiao, this isn't a big deal. This kid didn't show me any respect, so I thought I'd teach him a lesson. It's already been taken care of with words."
