Cultivation always flew by quickly; in the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Originally, Ye Xiao had planned to cultivate for a while longer, but a phone call arrived, forcing him to end his session and answer it.

He picked up his mobile phone and pressed the answer button.

Just after he pressed the button, a familiar voice immediately came from the phone.

"Boss!"

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said to the person on the phone, "Zhou Hao, why are you calling at this time?"

"I've already arrived at Jinling District in Bird City."

The person on the phone was indeed Zhou Hao.

Ye Xiao knew Zhou Hao had come to deliver medicinal herbs, and said, "Near Tulip District, go to the entrance of Tulip District."

Zhou Hao immediately replied, "Yes, Boss."

Ye Xiao was not worried at all about Zhou Hao finding the place; as a founder of Blood Blade, if he couldn't find such a large district, then the qualifications of Blood Blade would be evident.

Then, after brushing his teeth and washing his face, Ye Xiao immediately left his residence.

It was just getting light outside, and it was only six o'clock.

When Ye Xiao arrived at the entrance of Tulip District, a black Yan City modern business vehicle was parked there. Ye Xiao recognized it immediately as a car Zhou Hao had driven before and walked straight toward it.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Xiao approached, four people immediately got out of the car.

Seeing these four, Ye Xiao's smile grew even broader; the leader of the group was Zhou Hao, and the other three were Ye Xiao's three apprentices: Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze.

"Brother Xiao (Boss)!" the four greeted Ye Xiao with hearty laughter as soon as they saw him.

"Brother Xiao, that cashmere coat is quite nice, your taste is getting better," Sun Yuze commented laughingly upon seeing Ye Xiao dressed in a beige cashmere coat.

Ye Xiao replied, "Of course, it's a must-have for wooing girls."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone burst into roaring laughter once again.

"How come you all came?" Ye Xiao asked, smiling. "Is everything alright at home?"

At this point, Zhan Bo said with a smile, "All is well, but..."

As Zhan Bo spoke, everyone else immediately started laughing.

"What's going on?" Ye Xiao, seeing the four laughing mischievously, asked.

Sun Yuze said with a laugh, "It's just that the sisters-in-law are in a bad mood. Brother Xiao, you said you'd be gone, but you should call them occasionally. You know, whenever they see us, they treat us like we're their enemies, as if we've hidden you away."

One could imagine, these guys were having a tough time in Minghai City despite their influence; after all, none of the girls related to Ye Xiao were easy to handle.

"Is that necessary? I've only been gone a few days. Let's wait a little longer; absence makes the heart grow fonder," Ye Xiao laughed and said.

"I think Brother Xiao has already found new love in Bird City," Sun Yuze joked.

"Enough now, picking on me the moment you arrive. I'm still your boss, speak any more if you don't want a beating," Ye Xiao said half-seriously.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone immediately laughed quietly, not daring to say more.

"Did you bring everything?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao replied, "Brought them, and quite a lot too—the total worth exceeding eighty million, two-thirds Yellow Rank materials and one-third Xuan Rank materials."

"Buying so much? Are you trying to make me your laborer?" Ye Xiao said. "But buying so much at once, didn't the sellers suspect anything?"

"Don't worry, Boss, I told them it was for a mysterious sect. Once they heard it was for a major sect, the sellers didn't dare ask more," Zhou Hao said.

Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Ye Xiao immediately nodded in approval. That was the way to do it, only this way would no one notice. What Ye Xiao least wanted now was to attract attention. He needed time, a time to keep a low profile, until one day his trained people were numerous enough, then it would be time for him to make a move.

Next, Ye Xiao and the others drove the business vehicle near his residence, then proceeded to deliver nearly ten kilograms of medicinal herbs to Ye Xiao's room, after which they went back downstairs.

"Since you're here, I can't let you go back without doing anything," Ye Xiao said with a laugh.

The usually taciturn Weii Yang immediately said with a laugh, "Is Brother Xiao planning for us to experience the martial arts world of Bird City?"

Weii Yang's greatest desire was to mix with societies, and now in Minghai City, Weii Yang had become a figure who could shake the order of the martial arts community with a single stamp of his foot. Hence, he was somewhat reluctant to stay in Minghai City any longer.

People are never satisfied, like Weii Yang; his previous wish was only to make a name for himself in Minghai City, but now things were different. The small Minghai City could no longer satisfy Weii Yang; what he needed now was a broader sky, and in his heart, Bird City, being the center of Chu City, was undoubtedly his current target.

Ye Xiao looked at Weii Yang with a smile and said, "Is Bird City really worth your curiosity? If you want, you can stay here without leaving. I can make you integrate into the martial order of Bird City right away. However, I'd rather you join Blood Blade's brothers. By then, I think you can truly serve your purpose."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Weii Yang nodded, feeling that Ye Xiao indeed had a point, and his own strength wasn't exactly outstanding either. Without the presence of martial artists, Weii Yang's current skills might be considered pretty good. The problem, however, was that martial artists did exist and to a large extent, determined the strength of a force.

Weii Yang understood that Ye Xiao hoped he could achieve higher mastery in martial arts. When that time came, it was their turn to act.

"Hehe, got it, Brother Xiao," Weii Yang said with a smile.

Ye Xiao nodded and continued, "Well then, let's go do something very important."

"What is it?" everyone asked, filled with curiosity.

"Breakfast!" Ye Xiao said laughing.

"Ah?" At Ye Xiao's words, everyone was momentarily stunned. Was this what he called the most important thing?

"What? Don't you think this is important? Breakfast is very good for the body. Remember, we are the future nobility. As nobility, we should live longer. Therefore, good eating habits are the key to longevity. Come on, it's on me," Ye Xiao laughed heartily.

Everyone laughed following Ye Xiao's lead after hearing his words.

Five big men, chatting and laughing, had not seen each other for just a few days, but they seemed to have endless topics to talk about, mostly about Ye Xiao, because they all believed he must have found them another 'sister-in-law' in Bird City again.

Ye Xiao explained this repeatedly, but no matter how much he explained, it was difficult to make it clear.

"Are we going back right after this?" Sun Yuze asked the other three.

"What else would we do if we don't go back?" Weii Yang stuffed a bun into his mouth and said, "We're not planning to immediately plunge into Bird City's martial world."

"Can't you think about something other than fighting all the time, like shopping for instance?" Sun Yuze said with a smile.

"You're a woman, huh? Is that something you should be doing?" Weii Yang said with disdain.

Sun Yuze replied with a wry smile, "Don't you intend to buy something for your parents? Tell me, what's the best gift you've ever given your parents?"

"That…" Weii Yang was suddenly speechless.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Yu Ze has thought this through. Since we're out already, let's bring back some things for the elders at home. It doesn't matter how expensive the gifts are; it's the thought that counts."

Zhan Bo and Weii Yang nodded immediately, while Zhou Hao said with a smile, "Although I don't plan on buying anything for my parents, to support your filial piety, I'll be your driver."

Amidst intermittent laughter, the group finished their meal.

Zhou Hao, Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze separated from Ye Xiao.

However, as the four of them left, Ye Xiao suddenly felt as if someone was watching him. He promptly looked across the street and saw a woman in a red down jacket standing there, looking his way.

When Ye Xiao saw the woman, he instantly smiled.

"How did this girl get here?" Ye Xiao murmured.

By this time, the woman in red had slowly started walking towards Ye Xiao.

"Missing me?" Ye Xiao asked with a light smile as the woman in red approached him.

"You had Zhou Hao give me your phone number, isn't that because you wanted me to come?" the woman in red said.

The woman in red was none other than Wang Luoxin, the boss of the Seven-colored Lamp and the renowned 'Chi Yu' in the underworld.

Ye Xiao was puzzled; since Wang Luoxin had come, why hadn't she joined Zhou Hao and the others? And it seemed that the others didn't even know Wang Luoxin had come.

"Ha ha, smart," Ye Xiao laughed. "But, there's one thing I find strange."

Wang Luoxin, being very clever, chuckled lightly, "You're wondering why I didn't come with Zhou Hao and the rest, aren't you?"

"Yes!"

"I installed a tracking device in Zhou Hao's car, so I just followed it here," Wang Luoxin explained.

"Tracking device?" Ye Xiao was a bit surprised to hear this, but regained his composure. After all, it wasn't too strange considering that the Seven-colored Lamp was an assassin organization and was adept at such investigative skills.

Ye Xiao looked around and asked Wang Luoxin, "Did you come here by yourself?"

"The Seven-colored Lamp advances and retreats together, we don't separate. They are nearby," Wang Luoxin said.

"Have you had breakfast? I'll treat you," Ye Xiao offered.

"Hmph, you think a breakfast can dismiss me?" Wang Luoxin replied softly.

Hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Ye Xiao knew she held some grievance towards him, obviously because he hadn't contacted her after he left. No matter how strong a woman is, she always has her feminine side.
