Ye Xiao is a confident person, so he never fights a battle without certainty.

Wang Luoxin was very puzzled why Ye Xiao would make such a promise. What if Fu Tianjue really won? Would he really have to die here?

However, who can truly understand Ye Xiao's thinking? Just now when Fu Tianjue unleashed his palm strike, almost no one saw Fu Tianjue. Although he barely saw Fu Tianjue's movement, he didn't see exactly how he moved. Yet, at a critical moment, the figure in black appeared, not to directly counter Fu Tianjue's palm, but to pull Ye Xiao away before Fu Tianjue's hand skill arrived.

This alone shows that the black-clad person's speed is slightly superior to Fu Tianjue's.

The greatest asset of the Fu family is not the mysterious cultivation technique, but Wind Shadow Steps.

Although Fu family's Wind Shadow Steps can't be considered a supreme cultivation technique, it can enhance the martial artist's speed. It's not certain by how much it can boost, but one known fact is that the stronger the ability, the greater the boost.

This means the greatest strength of the Fu family lies in speed, and just now the speed of the black-clad figure was evidently above Ye Xiao's. This proves one point; the strength of the figure in black should be slightly higher than Fu Tianjue's.

This is the reason Ye Xiao dares to make a promise.

The battle in mid-air continues, and it's becoming increasingly fierce.

With a loud bang from the energy blast, the black-clad figure and Fu Tianjue landed separately on the ground.

At this moment, it seems neither of them has gained the upper hand.

Just then, Wang Luoxin spoke up; she spoke to prevent Ye Xiao from sacrificing his life.

"May the two elder gentlemen listen to what the younger generation has to say," Wang Luoxin loudly addressed these two old men.

The black-clad man laughed softly and said, "Little girl, what do you want to say? Fu Tianjue, let this young girl finish speaking."

Fu Tianjue did not speak. At this moment, his eyes were entirely fixed on the black-clad figure, knowing only by killing this person, could he then go on to kill Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing the black-clad figure, Wang Luoxin immediately bowed to him and then to Fu Tianjue, looking at Fu Tianjue, she said, "Elder Fu, I know you are furious because Ye Xiao killed Fu Bin and harmed your son, but wouldn't you like to know why? Although Ye Xiao was the one who acted, the real person responsible for killing and injuring is not Ye Xiao."

Hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Fu Tianjue was somewhat puzzled, cautiously watching the black-clad figure, he turned his eyes towards Wang Luoxin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Fu Tianjue responded, Wang Luoxin immediately said, "Everything is because of a lie by Fu Bin when he returned to Fu Mansion, telling everyone that he killed Ye Xiao's brothers. Four lives were claimed. Ye Xiao is not impulsive by nature, but consider, if someone told you, Elder Fu, that someone killed your brothers, what would you do? Hatred clouds judgement inevitably, so Ye Xiao killed Fu Bin to avenge his brothers. Objectively speaking, that's not wrong, one life for another."

After listening to Wang Luoxin, Fu Tianjue did not immediately speak because he knew she still had more to say.

Indeed, Wang Luoxin continued, "After Ye Xiao killed Fu Bin, Mr. Fu, driven by fatherly love, naturally would not let Ye Xiao go, so the two fought. In a martial duel, fists and feet do not discern, Elder Fu, you should understand this better."

"Are you trying to tell me that because my grandson killed someone, Ye Xiao can kill my grandson and hurt my son? Little girl, your words are not enough to persuade me." Fu Tianjue said coldly.

Wang Luoxin said, "Yes, Elder Fu is correct, but what if all this was solely because Fu Bin loved to speak glibly? Elder Fu, how would you feel? Would you still consider it not your grandson's fault?"

Fu Tianjue was puzzled upon hearing Wang Luoxin's remark, not quite understanding what she meant.

"What do you mean by this?"

"After Fu Bin arrived, he told everyone present that Ye Xiao's brothers were already dead; this included Zhou Hao from the Zhou family in Yan Capital City. Because of Fu Bin's words, this bloody storm broke out, but I'm telling you now, during your confrontation with this elder here, Ma San said all Fu Bin's words were to scare Ye Xiao. That means Fu Bin's death and Mr. Fu's injuries are entirely due to Fu Bin's deceit. A lie almost brought ruin to the Fu family, Elder Fu, I understand your love for your grandson, but who is truly at fault?" Wang Luoxin spoke righteously.

After hearing this, Fu Tianjue was really dumbfounded. He had never thought that all of this was just a lie.

"You... you're not deceiving me, are you?" Fu Tianjue felt as if he had lost the will to fight.

He could never imagine all this resulted from a lie by his own grandson.

Just then, Fu Donglai suddenly looked at Fu Tianjue and said, "Grandfather, what she says is correct; it was indeed Fu Bin's lie which Ma San just informed us about."

Listening to Fu Donglai, Fu Tianjue couldn't help but sigh. If he had doubts about Wang Luoxin's words earlier, now after Fu Donglai spoke, he fully believed it.

At this moment, the figure in black looked at Fu Tianjue and said, "It seems there's no need for us to continue fighting. What happened today, Ye Xiao won't spread it around, and I hope the Fu family doesn't speak of it either. It's of no benefit to anyone. I think the most urgent thing you should do now is to heal your son—losing a worthless grandson may not necessarily be a disaster."

Fu Tianjue glared at the figure in black, wanting to say something but closed his mouth instead.

"Get out!" Fu Tianjue shouted angrily.

Though Fu Tianjue was somewhat insulting, Ye Xiao wouldn't argue with him. Firstly, Ye Xiao couldn't defeat him.

Moreover, Fu Tianjue's words were a sign to everyone that he was permitting Ye Xiao and the others to leave.

"Grandfather!" Fu Donglai was surprised that Fu Tianjue really let Ye Xiao go.

It should be noted, Fu Donglai had just testified that Fu Bin lied to further enrage Fu Tianjue, but he hadn't expected Fu Tianjue to actually let Ye Xiao go.

Fu Tianjue ignored Fu Donglai and headed directly to where Fu Hongyi was.

Obviously, what he needed to do now was to quickly go and treat Fu Hongyi. Although Fu Hongyi was gravely injured, Fu Tianjue believed he could save his son.

If Fu Hongyi died, half the sky would truly collapse over the Fu family.

A martial artist can indeed support a family, but after all, Fu Tianjue was already old. Martial artists tend to live longer, but that doesn't mean they'll live forever.

So, if the Fu family wanted to remain prosperous long-term, they must have a new generation of martial artists emerge to ensure the Fu family's continuation.

Ye Xiao, Wang Luoxin, and the others from the Seven-colored Lamp immediately left, but before leaving, Ye Xiao grabbed Ma San.

Ye Xiao looked at Fu Donglai and said, "Can I take Ma San with me?"

Fu Donglai was already very annoyed with Ma San and said, "Take him away. If he hadn't been whispering to Fu Bin every day, Fu Bin wouldn't have ended up dead."

Ma San turned pale with fear upon hearing Fu Donglai's words and quickly pleaded with Fu Donglai, "Young Master, please save me!"

Fu Donglai didn't even glance at Ma San.

Ye Xiao looked at Ma San and said, "Stop making noise. As long as you behave, I won't kill you."

Ma San looked at Ye Xiao, whose expression was calm, but the calmer it was, the more scared Ma San became. However, to survive, he had no choice but to obey Ye Xiao.

After that, everyone left the Fu Mansion, with the man in black being the last to leave.

Outside the Fu Mansion.

"Thank you for today," Ye Xiao said to the man in black standing in front of him.

At this moment, only Ye Xiao and the man in black were standing there, with the others on a car not far away.

The man in black laughed and said, "No need for thanks all the time, but today I'll accept it."

Ye Xiao looked at the man in black and said, "Senior, can you tell me who you are?"

"No," the man in black replied firmly.

Ye Xiao said, "But why did you save me?"

"Why? Did you really want to die at that person's hands?" the man in black replied to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I want to defeat him with my own hands."

"But right now, you're too weak. He can take your life with just a flick of his wrist."

Ye Xiao felt discouraged hearing the man in black's words, but he still said, "I'll try my best."

"I hope what you said comes from your heart. Remember, in this world, no one can always help you; you can only help yourself. Haha, if I'm not wrong, you're probably at a bottleneck with your cultivation right now, but it's okay. The Fu family has what you need. I believe with those remnants, your power can reach a new level."

"What?" Ye Xiao felt puzzled hearing the man in black's words. Clearly, he couldn't figure out the connection between his cultivation and the Fu family.

He was cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and he'd already completely cultivated the manuals he possessed. Could the Fu family have remnants of the Nine Yang Divine Skill?

"Are you saying the Fu family has..."

"Haha, it's something you must understand without me explaining it in words. Oh, a hint: Control Fu Donglai, and you control the Fu family."

Ye Xiao felt even more confused. The true leader of the Fu family was Fu Tianjue, so how could...

"I'm leaving!" The man in black laughed and turned to leave.

"Senior!"

"What?"

"Why do you keep helping me?"

"Because you're handsome!" The man in black leaped away swiftly.

Ye Xiao was left speechless after hearing the man in black's words and muttered, "I'm handsome to attract chicks, it has nothing to do with you!"
