As soon as Ye Xiao spoke, everyone couldn't help but laugh a little. It was obvious to everyone that this was a trap set by Ye Xiao, specifically designed for Wan Qiang.
At this moment, Wan Qiang was also in a dilemma. He had no idea that Kang Xiaokai and Liuu Junhao had just omitted mentioning Ye Xiao's decent skills. This was the reason Wan Qiang dared to step forward. Now, with Ye Xiao's words, Wan Qiang found himself in a bit of a bind, clearly worried. After all, Ye Xiao's confidence made Wan Qiang suspect that Ye Xiao might actually be capable.
However, when Wan Qiang looked at Ye Xiao again, he couldn't help but muster a bitter smile. It was simple; looking at Ye Xiao's thin figure, he just didn't seem like a formidable fighter. Besides, even if Ye Xiao could manage a few hits, how much damage could he really do? With Wan Qiang's robust physique, he was sure Ye Xiao would learn the meaning of "ironman."
"Alright!" Wan Qiang coldly said to Ye Xiao, "Just make sure you can come up with fifty thousand, or it'd be embarrassing."
"Don't worry about that, I will definitely not embarrass myself. Even if it's at the expense of others, I won't disgrace myself, don't you agree?" Ye Xiao chuckled.
"Fine, since you're so confident, I'll grant you your wish, but let me tell you, I won't hold back," Wan Qiang glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said nonchalantly, "I hope you don't hold back. But for that, you'll have to put your money where your mouth is, otherwise, where's the sincerity?"
"Where's your money?" Wan Qiang asked, looking at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao replied, "Jiang Miaoke is my guarantee. If I can't come up with the cash, I'll lose her to you."
"What?" The crowd was stunned when they heard Ye Xiao say this. No one expected him to suggest putting Jiang Miaoke on the line.
"That's not very sincere. Jiang Miaoke is Jiang Miaoke, and you are you. What if I win, but she doesn't agree?" Wan Qiang said coldly. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Haha, of course, you're not a fool. If Coco disagrees, naturally I'm deceiving you. But I believe Coco trusts me. Why don't you ask her?" Ye Xiao chuckled lightly.
"Ye Xiao, don't go too far! Coco is a living human being, not a toy. How can you gamble her away? Do you realize how irresponsible you are? You don't deserve to be her boyfriend," Kang Xiaokai said, clearly seeing this as a good opportunity to win over Jiang Miaoke.
However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Miaoke just laughed and said, "Ye Xiao is my boyfriend. Since I've chosen him, whatever he says goes. If by chance he loses, I'm willing to be lost."
Ye Xiao's previous words had already shocked everyone present, but Jiang Miaoke's obedient response made the situation even more unbelievable.
"Coco, have you lost your mind? This guy intends to gamble you away," Kang Xiaokai was also dumbfounded.
Jiang Miaoke simply said, "I trust him."
At this moment, Ye Xiao looked at Wan Qiang, smiling, and said, "I have my guarantee, now let me see yours."
Wan Qiang had not anticipated that Jiang Miaoke would agree to Ye Xiao's outrageous demand, so when Ye Xiao spoke, Wan Qiang was taken aback. However, he quickly regained composure and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "I'll let Young Master Kang be my guarantee."
"Haha, so if you lose and can't pay, you're going to let your Young Master Kang lose to me?" Ye Xiao laughed, "Forget it, I'm a man. If you give me a woman, I might just make do, but you're giving me a man. What am I supposed to do with that? I'm not really into men," Ye Xiao said earnestly.
Although Ye Xiao was speaking to Wan Qiang, once the words left his mouth, Kang Xiaokai's face turned very unpleasant.
But who could Kang Xiaokai blame? It was Wan Qiang who brought him into this. He couldn't possibly reprimand Wan Qiang in front of everyone, could he? That would lead to internal strife.
At this point, Ye Xiao looked at Wan Qiang and said, "I don't need your Young Master Kang. I have no interest in him whatsoever. So let's compromise. If you lose, just cover the restaurant bill. Earlier, I mentioned treating everyone here to a meal, so you understand."
Clearly, Ye Xiao meant that if he won, Wan Qiang would be the one footing the bill for the meal Ye Xiao promised.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wan Qiang furrowed his brow a bit. Even though he wasn't short on cash, he felt like he was somehow on the losing end, without being able to pinpoint exactly where.
So at this moment, Wan Qiang hesitated.
"Alright then, if you don't agree, let's go with your earlier offer to put your Young Master Kang on the line. Although your Young Master Kang is a man, considering that eunuchs performed tasks in the imperial palace, I'm sure your Young Master Kang would be well-suited," Ye Xiao said, somewhat displeased, as if he was being taken advantage of.
"Ye Xiao, how dare you insult me?" Kang Xiaokai, usually quite impulsive, retorted.
Ye Xiao immediately looked at Kang Xiaokai, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Kang, I was just following along with Wan Qiang's words. Don't always think that all eunuchs are castrated; there are some who aren't, like Weei Xiaobao. Of course, it depends on whether you can have Weei Xiaobao's luck. First, you'd need to be born in Spring Courtyard of Yingzhou."
As soon as Ye Xiao said this, immediately, everyone looked at Kang Xiaokai, their eyes seemingly trying to explore whether Kang Xiaokai really was born in Spring Courtyard.
At this moment, Kang Xiaokai's face truly looked like pig liver, and Ye Xiao seemed afraid that everyone's memory might falter, so he quickly looked at Jiang Miaoke and said: "Coco, Weei Xiaobao was born in Spring Courtyard, right?"
What kind of person was Jiang Miaoke? Someone who liked to blow things out of proportion more than anyone else, so she said to Ye Xiao very seriously: "That's right, it's very clearly recorded in The Deer and the Cauldron, precisely Yingzhou's Spring Courtyard. Oh, and his mother was an old prostitute..."
Jiang Miaoke suddenly looked apologetically at Kang Xiaokai and said: "Kang Xiaokai, I didn't mean to say Weei Xiaobao had the same background as you."
Fuck!
Kang Xiaokai looked as if he was about to explode, but he couldn't vent his anger on Jiang Miaoke, so he glared at Ye Xiao and shouted angrily: "Ye Xiao, have you said enough?"
"I wasn't talking about you, don't go sticking every shit bucket onto your head, okay? Let's talk about my martial challenge with Wan Qiang instead." Ye Xiao chuckled as he looked at Wan Qiang.
It was only then that Wan Qiang realized that he was actually capable of bearing such a task.
"Stop with the wordplay, just as you said, if you win, whatever payment Youle Residence requires today, I'll definitely pay them." Wan Qiang's intention was very simple. Today, he just wanted to give Ye Xiao a good beating because that would help Kang Xiaokai save face, and he himself could gain favor in Kang Xiaokai's eyes. Why not?
Ye Xiao listened to Wan Qiang's words, chuckled, looked at Jiang Miaoke, and said: "It seems like there's no way around not getting physical today."
Jiang Miaoke said to Ye Xiao: "I have confidence in you."
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow with a smile and said: "I have confidence in myself too."
Wan Qiang immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said: "Then let's go outside for a showdown."
"Is that necessary?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"What?" Wan Qiang didn't quite understand what Ye Xiao meant. This was someone else's restaurant. If they didn't fight outside, did he expect them to brawl inside? They, students from Xuan University, often came here. If they got a reputation for starting fights here, it would be a huge problem if the restaurant banned them. Wan Qiang looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Since we're preparing to fight, we're not doing it inside the restaurant, are we?"
"Haha, who said you have to go outside to fight? I think right here is just fine. Come on, I don't have much time. Hit me now, and if you can beat me, you win." Ye Xiao laughed heartily as he spoke.
What made everyone amused was that after Ye Xiao finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks with his right hand and started eating spicy shrimp, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Cold humiliation!
This is definitely cold humiliation.
Ye Xiao was telling everyone present that he could easily defeat this burly Wan Qiang while eating. Arrogance, this was nearly everyone's thought at that moment.
"Ye Xiao, don't think too highly of yourself. If you don't go outside now, and I end up beating you to a pulp in this restaurant, it would be very humiliating." Wan Qiang glared coldly at Ye Xiao with an ugly expression.
Ye Xiao said nonchalantly: "Thank you for considering your opponent, but I think you're overthinking it. Let's focus on what's at hand. Do you want to fight? If not, it counts as a loss, or are you afraid of losing?"
Ye Xiao's words deeply provoked Wan Qiang's not-so-strong psyche, so he immediately walked straight toward Ye Xiao.
At this moment, Ye Xiao didn't even glance at Wan Qiang, and his disdainful expression made Wan Qiang even angrier.
"Go to hell!" Wan Qiang took two steps in one stride towards Ye Xiao and angrily swung a punch straight at Ye Xiao's head.
This punch was clearly very powerful, and the bystanders couldn't help but be shocked. It was hard for them to imagine how Ye Xiao was going to deal with this. From an ordinary person's perspective, it seemed inevitable that this punch was going to hit Ye Xiao's head.
