"Of course it's true, Ye Xiao. Your future isn't like that of ordinary people. You were born with a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you have no other choice." Ling Hengyu looked at Ye Xiao, his expression very serious.

Ye Xiao slowly nodded. He certainly understood what Ling Hengyu meant. He sighed and said, "Uncle Ling, I'll head to Bird City as soon as possible. I hope to find Wu Laoliu quickly. Oh, by the way, what is Wu Laoliu's real name? Did his mother really give him such a unique name when he was young? It's quite distinctive."

"Heh, I don't know about that. You can ask him when you meet him. I only know him as Wu Laoliu. Bird City is the capital of Chu City, where martial artists are as numerous as carp crossing the river. I believe you understand that keeping a low profile is the key," Ling Hengyu said.

Ye Xiao nodded and smiled, "Understood. I'll definitely find Wu Laoliu within ninety-nine days." Ye Xiao sighed again.

Ye Xiao knew that he might soon have to go to Bird City. At this moment, it wasn't about searching for his parents but because Qin Yulu now desperately needed him to find this Wu Laoliu.

Ye Xiao absolutely couldn't let Qin Yulu die. The predicament Qin Yulu was in now was all related to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was directly responsible, so he had the responsibility to ensure Qin Yulu's safety.

He returned to the living room where Qin Yulu, Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, and Wang Luoxin were already present.

When Ye Xiao and Ling Hengyu came out, Qin Yulu was the first to speak, "Ye Xiao, Uncle Ling, what are we having for lunch?"

At this moment, Qin Yulu's complexion was rosy. The Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill had indeed been a lifesaver within these hundred days. Qin Yulu had recovered to her healthiest state. Could it be that she still didn't know what had happened to her body?

"What would you like to eat?" Ye Xiao came downstairs, smiling at Qin Yulu.

"What I want to eat, I can really have?" Qin Yulu raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "Of course. You just say what you want to eat, and we'll eat that. You're in charge today!"

Qin Yulu chuckled and said, "This is the Ling family house; how can I overstep my bounds? Hehe, okay, Ye Xiao, I know what you're thinking. Do you feel sorry for me because you know I won't live more than a hundred days? I don't blame anyone, actually, I should thank Shuya. Think about it, my body was poisoned yesterday. If not for this Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill, wouldn't I already be dead? Being alive for ninety-nine days is enough for me, and right now, I feel very healthy."

Qin Yulu spoke very lightly, as if she didn't care at all about the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill, as if it didn't even exist.

"Lulu!" Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu, unsure of what to say.

At that moment, not just Ye Xiao, but Ling Shuya also teared up while looking at Qin Yulu. Even though Qin Yulu said this, Shuya felt even more that she had made an unforgivable mistake. If Qin Yulu really died, she would definitely bear an inescapable responsibility.

"Yulu!" Ling Shuya looked at Qin Yulu!

Qin Yulu immediately smiled triumphantly, then turned to Ling Hengyu and said, "Uncle Ling, you have a wealth of experience, tell me if I'm right. Are they being too sentimental? Are they making things too complicated?"

"This…" Ling Hengyu looked at Qin Yulu's indifferent expression, then at Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya, smiled faintly, but didn't speak.

Seeing that everyone still looked somewhat guilty, Qin Yulu immediately said, "Okay, you all feel that you have done wrong. Well then, I will go and end it myself now. Since you feel that way and don't want to give me these ninety-nine days, I'll give them back to you!"

With that, Qin Yulu headed straight to the kitchen!

Qin Yulu went to the kitchen, leaving everyone stunned. What was going on?

However, it was Weei Jie who first reacted.

"This is bad. Miss Qin wants to commit suicide!" Weei Jie shouted.

Hearing Weei Jie's words, everyone also realized what was happening; Qin Yulu's words were indeed about committing suicide. Ye Xiao immediately rushed into the kitchen. When he entered, Qin Yulu had already picked up a sharp knife, intending to cut her pulse. Had she done so, not even an immortal could have saved her.

But just as the sharp blade was about to slice Qin Yulu's pulse, suddenly, the knife stopped sliding.

Originally, Qin Yulu was the only one holding the knife handle, but now, both ends of the knife were being held by people. Qin Yulu still held the handle, but the blade was now held in Ye Xiao's hand.

The blade was extremely sharp. Though Ye Xiao possessed formidable inner strength, he was still flesh and blood, and it wasn't possible for him to be literally impervious to blades and bullets. Thus, blood immediately began to flow from his hand.

"Ah?" Qin Yulu was greatly startled upon seeing the crimson blood, stepping back repeatedly while her hands released the blade.

It was as if Ye Xiao felt no pain from the blade, as he grabbed Qin Yulu's hand and spoke softly, "If you cut once, I will cut once; if you die once, I will die with you."

Hearing these words from Ye Xiao, Qin Yulu was utterly captivated.

Qin Yulu quickly moved closer, tears welling up in her eyes. Holding Ye Xiao's injured hand, she cried, "Ye Xiao, I hate you, I hate you so much. Why don't you care about yourself? Don't you know the blade was sharp? It must hurt a lot."

"No, it doesn't hurt at all, as long as you're okay," Ye Xiao replied affectionately.

Perhaps, sometimes Ye Xiao could be considered a petty man, or maybe even a hypocrite, but at that moment, he was incredibly sincere.

Whether it was guilt toward Qin Yulu or something else, ultimately, Ye Xiao truly held a place for Qin Yulu in his heart.

As Qin Yulu lifted her head, her moist eyes looking at Ye Xiao, she cried, "Ye Xiao, I won't seek death anymore, but can you promise me something? I hope you, Shuya, Sister Qiuyu, Sister Xinxin, and everyone else can always be happy. I am living like this now, and I hope if there comes a day when I leave, you all will feel the same. I just hope there's a place for me in your hearts."

Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu. Several people, including Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, and Purple Flame, were standing at the kitchen door, their eyes also moist.

"Alright, on behalf of all of them, I promise you," Ye Xiao said to Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu nodded, touching Ye Xiao's injured hand, which suddenly twitched, causing Ye Xiao to cry out, "Ouch, it hurts!"

Only then did everyone realize that Ye Xiao's hand was injured, and it was still dripping blood.

"Medicine box, quickly get the medicine box!" Ling Shuya shouted.

Chaos ensued.

At lunchtime, everyone went out to eat. By then, Minghai City had settled down after the death of Xiong Daoliang. Driving the car, Ye Xiao noticed that there were no Martial Artists around them, a stark contrast to before when you could always sense a couple of them on the streets.

However, after two major battles with Xiong Daoliang, and especially since Ye Xiao had killed him as 'Asura from Hell' the day before, the Martial Artists who were previously just watching had all left Minghai City.

The 'Heavenly Book' incident had also come to an end. During the first great battle with Xiong Daoliang, he had confessed that the Heavenly Book incident was a complete fabrication by him. Thus, he effectively informed everyone that any talk of the Ling family having the Heavenly Book was nonsense. Since there was no Heavenly Book, why would any Martial Artist stay in Minghai City? Everyone has their own paths to follow, and Minghai City was just too small for them.

During the lunch, everyone had a joyful meal. Although not everyone was in great health, the atmosphere in Minghai City was now without crisis, and their injuries could gradually heal.

With Xiong Daoliang gone, the Strong Bear Group was leaderless. Not only did the forces that used to rely on Xiong Daoliang disperse into smoke, but with Zhou Hao, Zhao Dapeng, Tang Xuewen, and Peng Dehao from the Business Bureau cooperating, the Strong Bear Group was quickly transformed into a holding company called the Sky Wings Company. Xiong Daoliang's shares were all acquired by Sky Wings Company, while Xiong Tao's two percent of the shares, due to his reluctance to show himself, were basically all merged into Sky Wings Company as well.

Moreover, Sky Wings Company made a shocking move within half a month; Tang Xuewen transferred all shares of Hengzhiyuan Group to Sky Wings Company and took the position of chairman and CEO of Sky Wings Company.

In just half a month, Sky Wings Company had taken absolute control of these two major companies, each worth more than a billion Yuan, creating an earthquake-like impact in Minghai City.

Tang Xuewen's name became famous throughout Minghai City. In the business circles of Minghai City, nearly no one was unaware of this name. Moreover, even the big financial groups in Chu City started to pay attention to this young CEO of Sky Wings Group.

However, just when everyone thought that Sky Wings Company would stop there, after more than a month of negotiations, Zhang Group Catering Co., Ltd publicly declared its affiliation with Sky Wings Company. Unknown to the public, Zhang Jincheng had become the new owner. The previous owner, Zhang Zhongkang, and his family announced their withdrawal from the business world in writing, but no one had seen them since.

Following that, a newly rising real estate company, Snow Shadow Real Estate Co., Ltd, officially became part of Sky Wings Company. At this point, the initially obscure Sky Wings Company suddenly became a supergroup controlling four major companies. It was then that the name of Sky Wings was also changed to 'Sky Wings Group.'

Many curious people wanted to see who the major shareholder behind Sky Wings Group was. But when they tried their best to investigate, they discovered that the major shareholder of Sky Wings Group wasn't an individual but a company called 'Myth Company,' which held ninety-nine percent of Sky Wings Group's shares. This company didn't let any information slip out; all that was known was that 'Myth Company' occupied a massive share of Sky Wings Group!
