Ye Xiao walked down the stairs, everyone immediately looked over!

"Why are you all staring at me like this?" Ye Xiao saw mostly skeptical expressions on their faces, as if he had gained some advantage in the upstairs study.

"Ye Xiao, Wu Xinyuan is already dead!" Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao and said!

Then Ye Xiao looked towards Zhou Hao who had just stood up from the sofa, and said, "Let the brothers handle Wu Xinyuan's body."

Zhou Hao immediately nodded. By this time, Zhou Hao's internal injury was basically not a big problem anymore, and he could heal himself with his Inner Strength. Therefore, when not fighting, Zhou Hao was still like a normal person.

"What time is it!" Ye Xiao asked!

Wang Luoxin said, "One o'clock in the morning!"

Ye Xiao yawned and said, "Should we rest now, Yaya, are you staying here or going back?"

"Let's go back." Ling Shuya said!

"Alright then, we can leave now," Ye Xiao said.

"Where's dad?" Ling Shuya asked!

"He should be coming down soon. But there's no point in us staying here unless you want to move in!" Ye Xiao said.

Ling Shuya suddenly fell silent!

Then, without waiting for Ling Hengyu to come downstairs, Ye Xiao immediately left the Ling family mansion with Ling Shuya, Wang Luoxin, and the members of the Seven-colored Lamp!

It was just after Ye Xiao and the others had left that Ling Hengyu came downstairs!

"Did they leave?" Ling Hengyu glanced at the closed door and asked Weei Jie.

Weei Jie said, "They've left!"

"Do you think Ye Xiao will practice the Mad God Skill?" Ling Hengyu smiled slightly, sat down on the sofa, and asked Weei Jie.

Weei Jie also followed him, saying, "He probably will. A young Martial Artist and a talented one at that—how could he resist the temptation of the Mad God Skill? Mr. Ling was the same back in the day, wasn't he?"

Hearing Weei Jie's words, Ling Hengyu immediately thought of his own youthful and spirited self, but soon chuckled and said, "I hope Ye Xiao doesn't follow my old path; it's all the fault of the Heavenly Book."

"Yes, it is ridiculous that someone actually spread the rumor that the Ling family has the Heavenly Book!" Weei Jie expressed a mix of laughter and tears.

"Now, I still don't even know what the Heavenly Book looks like," Ling Hengyu said. "That's the greatest irony of all."

Weei Jie didn't say anything—after all, Ling Hengyu's words rang true!

After Ye Xiao and the others left the Ling family mansion, they got into a black van.

Zhou Hao was driving, and sitting in the van were Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya!

Wang Luoxin and the other Seven-colored Lamp members had their own car, and besides, they were not going to the same place as Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya—they were headed to Xinxin Porridge House.

"Ye Xiao, did my dad give you the Mad God Skill?" Ling Shuya, with her big eyes that sparkled like black gemstones, curiously looked at Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao immediately asked puzzledly, "Why would he give it to me? Is it some sort of dowry?"

"Get lost, I'm being serious here!" Ling Shuya rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, then continued, "I've always known about a family heirloom in the Ling family, but I had never seen it. However, today he took you upstairs alone to talk about the Mad God Skill, so I think he really intended for you to learn it."

"Uncle Ling did indeed have that idea, but the requirements to practice the Mad God Skill are just too demanding—it's not easy to practice!" Ye Xiao said.

"So what do you think?" Ling Shuya seemed particularly interested in this point!

Ye Xiao was originally going to tell Ling Shuya about the requirements for practicing the Mad God Skill, but then he thought again and suddenly felt it was not a good idea. Ling Shuya really didn't need to know such things, and if he really cultivated the Mad God Skill without any harm to his body, wouldn't that just tell Ling Hengyu and Ling Shuya that he was the so-called 'Chosen One', the one meant to cultivate the Heavenly Book?

What is the Heavenly Book? It's basically like a mountain of gold, and these Martial Artists are like poor people. When a poor person sees a mountain of gold, wouldn't they pounce on it?

"I need to think it over!" Ye Xiao said seriously.

"Think it over?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya immediately glared at him disdainfully and said, "Are you really stupid or just pretending? Do you still need to consider such a thing? If it's really that high-level, why not cultivate it?"

At this moment, Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao as if he was a complete fool.

"Hey, this is something from your family; don't you think you're kind of inviting a thief by doing this?" Ye Xiao reminded!

"Hmph, biting the hand that feeds, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Ling Shuya turned to look out the car window and hummed, no longer addressing Ye Xiao.

And Ye Xiao didn't initiate conversation with Ling Shuya again either.

Zhou Hao's driving skills were indeed quite good; despite the speed, there was not the slightest bump!

Parking the car, getting out!

Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya got out of the car, and Zhou Yuyan and others seemed to have been watching from outside the house—as soon as the two got out of the car, the mansion's door opened.

"Ye Xiao, you're back too?" Zhou Yuyan, Shen Qiuyu, and Su Yun, all three girls were at the mansion, and when they saw Ye Xiao was also back, they immediately asked in puzzled tones!

After all, they all knew that Ye Xiao had gone to the Northern Territory.

"Didn't I miss you guys?" Ye Xiao chuckled, addressing the three beauties before him.

"Come on, if you missed us, how come you came back with Shuya? Clearly, you two went on a secret rendezvous," Zhou Yuyan immediately retorted.

On hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya, perhaps fearing others might misunderstand, quickly pouted, "Hmph, how could I possibly go on a rendezvous with him? He's not in my league!"

"Yes, exactly, I'm too handsome," Ye Xiao immediately added.

"Alright, you win!" Ling Shuya couldn't help but say!

At this moment, Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and said piercingly, "Ye Xiao, weren't you supposed to be looking for Rongrong? Didn't you find her?"

Upon hearing Su Yun mention Tang Rong, Ye Xiao's once vibrant face immediately dimmed, and he said in a flat tone, "She went back home; I guess we won't be seeing Rongrong for a while."

"Isn't she the one who never wanted to return to that home she never visited?" Shen Qiuyu asked, puzzled!

At this time, Ye Xiao didn't even want to think about mentioning what had transpired in the Northern Territory.

"Since she has already returned to her own home, we shouldn't worry about her anymore. I believe she will definitely be doing well; don't you think?" Ye Xiao said.

Ye Xiao's words were tinged with a hint of loss, which made everyone quite curious!

"Boss!" Just as Ye Xiao was about to enter the villa, Zhou Hao suddenly called out to him from behind!

Ye Xiao immediately turned his head, perplexed.

Zhou Hao, like a magician, took a plastic bag out of the car and walked over to Ye Xiao.

"Boss, here are some herbs!" Zhou Hao handed over the ingredients for the Heart Cleansing Pill to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took them; the plastic bag was indeed quite heavy. It seemed Zhou Hao had procured a significant amount of herbs this time.

At that moment, Zhou Yuyan peeked at the plastic bag and then looked at Zhou Hao, asking, "Brother, what's all this?"

"Secret!" Zhou Hao chuckled, and then said to Ye Xiao, "Boss, I'm off."

Ye Xiao nodded!

Zhou Yuyan, glaring at Zhou Hao as he jumped into the car, muttered, "What's so great about it; calling it a secret!"

"Everyone, can we go back to sleep now? I'm almost dead tired!" Ye Xiao said to Zhou Yuyan with a wry smile.

Everyone immediately entered the villa.

Upon entering, Ye Xiao headed straight to his room. At that moment, Ye Xiao was both sore and smelly, so he rushed into the bathroom for a bath.

Just as Ye Xiao entered his room, Ling Shuya's phone suddenly received a text message.

"It's so late, who could be texting? Maybe it's from some handsome guy," Zhou Yuyan joked as she came over.

"How could it be? Look for yourself!" Ling Shuya said, tossing her phone to Zhou Yuyan without even looking.

Zhou Yuyan, not being shy, immediately turned it on.

"Eh? It's from your Sister Tongtong!" Zhou Yuyan said, puzzled, holding the phone!

As soon as Ling Shuya heard Zhou Yuyan's words, she hurriedly moved next to Zhou Yuyan, looked at the phone screen, and indeed, it was a message from someone named 'Sister Tongtong.'

"Why would Sister Tongtong text me at this time?" Ling Shuya wondered aloud as she opened the message. After reading it, her face lit up, "Sister Tongtong has come to Minghai City; she wants to meet me at school tomorrow!"

"Oh? Is this photo hers?" Zhou Yuyan asked, looking at a profile picture on the phone.

Ling Shuya replied proudly, "Yes, how is it? Isn't she beautiful?"

"Indeed, very beautiful. If Ye Xiao sees this, he'd surely drool," Zhou Yuyan giggled.

The girls all laughed along!

Meanwhile, in Ye Xiao's room!

Two consecutive sneezes made Ye Xiao's nose itch!

"Who's praising me?" Ye Xiao murmured to himself.

Currently, Ye Xiao was lying naked in the bathtub. If someone were present, they could see through the clear water the several bruises on his body. In the Tang family in the Northern Territory, Ye Xiao truly suffered a loss.

Ever since his debut, Ye Xiao had rarely been at a disadvantage, but at the Tang family in the Northern Territory, he truly met his match!

However, what puzzled Ye Xiao even more was that he had almost killed someone at the Tang family, yet Tang Hongde did not seem to have the urge to kill him. Although he went there under the guise of protecting Tang Rong, it was undeniable that he had completely disregarded the dignity of the Tang family and challenged their authority directly.

For such a strictly disciplined great family, this was a grave issue, yet Ye Xiao left the Northern Territory unscathed; he hadn't anticipated such an outcome!

Could it have been intentional? Ye Xiao was even more baffled!
