"Wow, what a lively scene!" Ye Xiao walked in with a grin.

Ye Xiao's remark thoroughly drew everyone's attention to him, especially Zheng Lingshan, Little Mi, Chenchen, and oh yes, Yang Hangtian, who truly carried a deep, unforgettable grudge against Ye Xiao.

When the three girls saw Ye Xiao, hope flared anew in their previously despondent hearts.

"You dare to show up!" Yang Hangtian's face was livid with rage upon seeing Ye Xiao. He had been thoroughly humiliated by Ye Xiao the day before, and his most fervent desire was to take his revenge, to trample Ye Xiao underfoot.

Ye Xiao acted as if nothing had happened the day before, asking, "What's going on here? Are you filming a movie?"

"Courting death!" Yang Hangtian glared coldly at Ye Xiao, but despite his inner fury, he didn't dare to actually confront Ye Xiao, knowing he couldn't beat him.

"Courting death?" Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "I'm a smart man, why would a smart man court death, eh? Who made my girlfriend Shanshan cry? I'm a person who cares the most about his girlfriend, and whoever makes her cry, I'll make sure to make them weep."

Ye Xiao's words sounded rather childish, almost as if a child was speaking petulantly.

"Beat him to a pulp!" Yang Hangtian backed up a few steps and ordered his minions.

Those underlings immediately looked to Yang Hangtian, while they were holding down Yang Song.

"Brother Hangtian, what about this Yang Song? Should we still break his leg?"

Before Yang Hangtian could respond, Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Oh, you're practicing leg techniques, huh? Not bad, I've been practicing my own for a few days now. Why doesn't someone come and kick my leg? It's like it's been cast from indestructible steel."

Everyone found Ye Xiao's words to be incredibly naive, his leg cast from steel? Might as well claim to be a Transformer while he was at it. However, his statement provided Yang Hangtian with what he believed to be a great opportunity.

"If your leg is as solid as you say, then let me kick you three times. If you can withstand three kicks from me, we'll call it even, and I won't come here again," Yang Hangtian said earnestly. His greatest resentment at the moment was his desire to teach Ye Xiao a lesson, preferably to cripple him. Yet, he wasn't sure if Ye Xiao truly knew martial arts, as he had suffered a significant defeat the day before. Now was an excellent opportunity to get back at Ye Xiao, and Hangtian would not let it pass.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao chuckled mischievously.

Zheng Lingshan, not waiting for Ye Xiao to respond, immediately said to him, "This isn't your business, just go."

Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Lingshan, and seeing the urgency in her tear-reddened eyes, realized she was desperate not to agree to Yang Hangtian's proposal, clearly seeing it as one of Hangtian's traps.

But Ye Xiao acted as if he hadn't noticed the urgent plea in her eyes and instead said playfully, "Shanshan, my love for you is deep and sincere. You absolutely cannot let down my devotion. If by chance my leg gets broken today, heh heh, from here on you'll have to take care of me for a lifetime."

"Just go!" Zheng Lingshan said to Ye Xiao again.

Yang Hangtian, probably fearing that Ye Xiao would leave, immediately said, "A real man stands by his words. To make a claim one doesn't fulfill is to behave like a cowardly woman!" Yang Hangtian taunted deliberately.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao laughed heartily and replied, "Relax, I am a true man. Come on, who wants to kick my leg? Yang Hangtian, you don't have to do it yourself, after all, looking at your physique, I wouldn't want to accidentally injure you with my profound Inner Strength and cause trouble."

One of Yang Hangtian's underlings stepped up to him and suggested, "Brother Hangtian, let me kick him for you."

"Kick your sister!" Yang Hangtian was instantly annoyed by the remark. What a joke! Finally, there was a chance to regain some pride, and how could he possibly pass that off to someone else? Moreover, if he gave up this opportunity, wouldn't it give Ye Xiao an excuse to say he was a coward?

Now was his chance for revenge, and a chance to do so without getting hurt, which made Yang Hangtian feel incredibly smug.

"Ha ha, just the type of guy you are, if he actually had a sister, you'd probably not have the heart to kick her, you'd likely indulge yourself first," Ye Xiao jeered with a laugh.

Unbeknownst to Ye Xiao, his casual comment took Yang Hangtian and his man by surprise, prompting the latter to glance at Hangtian.

How could Yang Hangtian fail to notice that look? He retorted immediately, "What are you looking at? I didn't mess with your sister."

Turns out, the guy really did have a sister. Ye Xiao had to admire his own insight.

Now Yang Hangtian was even more infuriated, incensed that Ye Xiao had blurted out the truth about his tryst with his sister, a matter that was obviously unsettling.

"I'll see that you're crippled for spouting nonsense," Yang Hangtian bellowed at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao just smirked and retorted, "Big words there. If you think you've got what it takes, give it a try. As I said, my legs are as tough as iron."

"Ha ha, okay, today I'll show you how I break that iron of yours," Yang Hangtian declared loudly.

Ye Xiao asked, "Which leg do you want to kick?"

Yang Hangtian was determined to break one of Ye Xiao's legs—did it really matter which one?

"Whatever, just stretch out your leg that's as hard as iron for me," Yang Hangtian said disdainfully.

Ye Xiao heard Yang Hangtian's words and immediately chuckled and replied, "Alright then."

So, Ye Xiao squatted down, stretched out his left leg, and said, "Try this one. If you can't break it, try the other one. You only get three attempts!"

"Okay!" Yang Hangtian's attention was entirely on Ye Xiao's leg. He had no intention of taking three shots. In his view, one kick should be enough, after all. Even though Ye Xiao claimed his legs were as hard as iron, at the end of the day, a human leg is made of flesh and blood.

"Ready?" Yang Hangtian sneered at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said nonchalantly, "No need for me to get ready, kick anytime. Oh right, I forgot to ask, what if, when you kick my leg, something happens to your foot? What will you do then?"

"Ha-ha, how could anything happen to my foot?"

Ye Xiao replied, "But what if? I don't want it to be that you end up hurting your foot kicking me and then have to hold me accountable for compensation."

"Fine, we'll agree to that then. Whichever one of us gets hurt, they'll take responsibility," Yang Hangtian had been a bit worried indeed. If he ended up breaking Ye Xiao's leg, it seemed he would also need to pay compensation.

But now, with Ye Xiao's words, this completely resolved Yang Hangtian's worries.

Hearing Yang Hangtian's words, Ye Xiao pretended to be contemplative.

"What are you still thinking about? You aren't getting scared now, are you?" Yang Hangtian goaded Ye Xiao intentionally.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "How could I be? Alright, let's do as you say. Everyone present is a witness."

Yang Hangtian thought even more that Ye Xiao was just a fool. He felt Ye Xiao was just looking for trouble for himself.

Just then, one of Yang Hangtian's underlings came over and said to him nervously, "Brother Hangtian, something doesn't feel right. Could he have some sort of scheme?"

"Have you said enough? I'm telling you, nobody can stop me..." Yang Hangtian had intended to say "from getting revenge," but then suddenly felt that saying "revenge" could lead others to think he was settling personal scores, so he quickly changed his words, "...from fulfilling the agreement."

The lackey, listening to Yang Hangtian's words, knew he had already made up his mind and naturally didn't dare to say more.

Yang Hangtian looked at Ye Xiao, who, in turn, was smiling cheekily back at him.

"I'm really going to kick now!" Yang Hangtian warned again.

"Hurry up then. Didn't you see my beauty crying? I want to go over and comfort her," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

When Yang Hangtian heard this, he became even angrier and without another word, charged at Ye Xiao's calf and gave a ferocious kick.

At that moment, everyone present held their breath, as they all thought about the same thing: if Ye Xiao's leg was broken, what would he do for the rest of his life?

Even Yang Song, who showed no backbone just a short while ago, looked at Ye Xiao with admiration. Clearly, he dared not compare his own spirit to that of Ye Xiao's.

A scream echoed out at the instant Yang Hangtian's foot collided with Ye Xiao's leg.

That scream was truly heartfelt, as though the screamer wanted to shout his lungs out, the deep and memorable pain nearly causing him to faint.

Zheng Lingshan initially thought the scream was from Ye Xiao and was so scared her soul almost left her body, quickly walking over to Ye Xiao's side.

Not just Zheng Lingshan, but Little Mi, Chenchen, and Yang Song all walked towards Ye Xiao. However, when they reached him, Ye Xiao was already standing up, completely unharmed.

Meanwhile, the previously arrogant and invincible Yang Hangtian was now sitting on the ground, holding his leg and crying out in pain; obviously, he was the one injured.

All of a sudden, everyone was surprised. Did Ye Xiao actually possess Inner Strength?

Indeed, Ye Xiao truly had Inner Strength, but this was not something he could let others know, and actually, Ye Xiao had really not used any Inner Strength just then.

Actually, sometimes Inner Strength seems too mystical and hard for people to accept, but what about an iron plate?

"Are you okay?" Zheng Lingshan looked at Ye Xiao in surprise. She inspected him from head to toe, clearly suspecting that Ye Xiao was also injured.

Ye Xiao just grinned and spoke to Zheng Lingshan with shameless boldness, "There are so many people here. By showing such concern for me, you'll make them jealous. I know you care, and that's enough."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan felt a wave of disdain—how could he be so shameless.

But at that moment, Ye Xiao had already turned his attention to Yang Hangtian. Now, Ye Xiao wanted to reveal to him the reason for his injury, to put it inappropriately, so that he could die with his eyes closed!
