"Ye Xiao, what are you talking about? Who's your good wife, pretty wife? I'm telling you, if you keep spouting nonsense, from now on, we won't know each other." Xia Mingyue said angrily at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao quickly laughed and said, "Alright, alright, my good wife, I obey, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue was furious and wanted to beat up Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao, don't tease cousin. By the way, who just called you? Why did I hear you mention that An Yuncheng? And earlier, you called that person Sister An, is she a descendant of An Yuncheng?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

Although Jiang Miaoke was usually a carefree person, at this moment, it seemed she felt this matter was important, so she spoke very seriously.

Ye Xiao said, "He should be a descendant of An Yuncheng and wants to kill Fu Tianjue. It's likely there will be big trouble at the Fu family today."

"Did she ask you to help her? You had already agreed, but why did you change your mind?" Jiang Miaoke said.

Ye Xiao said, "If she asks me to help, then I help, doesn't that make me look too easy? Forget it, let's not talk about it, we'll see when the time comes. If Fu Tianjue is about to die, can't I just stab him twice?"

"Ye Xiao, you're so despicable." Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao with disdain.

Ye Xiao said, "What else can I do? That Fu Tianjue is really strong, do you want me to challenge him one-on-one? I'm not cut out for that."

"Haha, you're right!" Jiang Miaoke chuckled.

In the morning, Xia Mingyue went to work, while Ye Xiao and Jiang Miaoke went near the Fu Mansion.

Ye Xiao didn't know how much would happen at the Fu family today, but the internal conflict of the Liu family should occur after the funeral, and as for when An Meihui would make a move, that's uncertain.

Of course, Ye Xiao was willing to kill Fu Tianjue. If there was a chance, he definitely wanted to get rid of this menace. Otherwise, who knows when he might be taken out himself?

However, Ye Xiao found one thing very strange: who gave An Meihui the Qi Scattering Dew? Qi Scattering Dew is a long-lost poison, and anyone who possesses this poison now is definitely no ordinary person.

Moreover, this person actually had An Meihui ask for his help, so they must be very familiar with him.

The previous black-clad old man and this hermit expert.

Who are they really? Friend or foe?

Ye Xiao really dared not jump to conclusions right now, which is why he suddenly no longer wanted to help An Meihui.

However, although he said he didn't want to help An Meihui, if there was an opportunity, Ye Xiao naturally still wanted to help An Meihui. After all, she's avenging her father, and they have the same enemy as him. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Around eleven o'clock.

Near the Fu Mansion!

"Ye Xiao, we've been wandering near the Fu Mansion all morning. What exactly are you planning to do?" Jiang Miaoke followed Ye Xiao, curiously asking.

All morning, Ye Xiao had been wandering near the Fu Mansion, just chatting with Jiang Miaoke, and when Jiang Miaoke asked what he wanted to do, Ye Xiao just said he was bored, couldn't go too late, nor too early, so just wandered near the Fu Mansion. What's that logic?

"That's your family car, isn't it?" Ye Xiao pointed to a few black sedans coming towards the Fu family from afar.

Jiang Miaoke looked over and immediately said, "That's right, it's our Jiang family. Let's go over; it'll be much safer with them."

"Yeah, you should go over, but I'll stay here." Ye Xiao said.

Jiang Miaoke asked, "Why?"

Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke, smiling slightly, "Coco, if, I say if, there's a chance, would you want to be my wife?"

"Ye Xiao, what are you talking about? We're just pretending, don't tell me you're getting too into character?" Jiang Miaoke immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao heard Jiang Miaoke's words, chuckled, and said, "You know I love to joke, I was just kidding. Hurry up, or when the Jiang family car passes, you'll have to walk over."

"Okay!" Jiang Miaoke nodded and then walked straight to the roadside.

Jiang Miaoke walked to the roadside, turned to look at Ye Xiao, and saw Ye Xiao standing there watching her, smiling, without revealing what he was thinking.

And just then, those cars reached Jiang Miaoke's side and then stopped.

"Coco, what are you doing here?" At this time, a middle-aged man sitting in the back of a car opened the window and looked at Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke saw the middle-aged man and immediately giggled, saying, "Dad, of course I'm waiting for you guys, and also..."

Jiang Miaoke turned her head to look at the spot where Ye Xiao had just been. She wanted to say that Ye Xiao was with her too, but to her surprise, Ye Xiao was no longer there. She looked around but still didn't see any trace of Ye Xiao.

Jiang Zhongzheng looked around curiously and smiled at Jiang Miaoke, saying, "Coco, what's wrong? Is there someone else?"

Jiang Miaoke immediately shook her head and quickly got into Jiang Zhongzheng's car, saying, "Dad, you didn't come early at all."

"It's not a happy occasion, so why come early?" said the young man sitting in the passenger seat, turning his head.

"Brother, you didn't come with Uncle," Jiang Miaoke said to Jiang Chuan, who sat in the front seat.

"No, I went home yesterday, so today I'm with Dad," Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "By the way, where did you and Ye Xiao go yesterday? You didn't return home all night."

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Jiang Miaoke blushed slightly and said, "No way, I was at Cousin's place yesterday. Oh, right, there will surely be a lot of people at the Fu family today. If someone causes trouble, it shouldn't be as strict as usual, right?"

Jiang Chuan immediately said, "Sister, you're wrong. Today is a big funeral for the Fu family. If someone dares to cause trouble at the Fu family, I doubt they will survive it. You should know, today is the day Fu Hongyi and Fu Bin are being buried. How heartbroken Fu Tianjue must be."

When Jiang Miaoke heard Jiang Chuan's words, she was slightly taken aback and suddenly thought of the question Ye Xiao had just asked her. She had felt something was off earlier and thought Ye Xiao was teasing her again, so she had said what she did. But now, hearing Jiang Chuan's words, she couldn't shake the feeling that Ye Xiao was trying to convey something.

The car slowly headed towards the Fu Mansion, and Jiang Miaoke felt a mess inside.

"Coco, what's wrong?" Jiang Zhongzheng noticed that Jiang Miaoke's expression wasn't quite right and asked, "Did you catch a chill last night?"

However, Jiang Miaoke seemed not to have heard Jiang Zhongzheng. Instead, she looked at him and said, "Dad, is Fu Tianjue very strong in martial arts?"

"Coco, even though it's our own territory, you mustn't be so rude. Elder Fu is of the same generation as your grandfather," Jiang Zhongzheng said sternly.

"Dad, I'm just asking, how strong is he? Hypothetically, if Ye Xiao were to fight Fu Tianjue, who would win? Does Ye Xiao stand a chance?" Jiang Miaoke asked with a very serious look on her face.

Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Jiang Miaoke, and Jiang Chuan, who was sitting in front, also turned to look at her. Then Jiang Zhongzheng and Jiang Chuan exchanged glances.

Jiang Zhongzheng said, "Ye Xiao has decided to go to the Fu family?"

"It seems so," Jiang Miaoke replied.

Jiang Zhongzheng said, "I've already warned him. For some reason, Elder Fu seems to have no intention of pursuing the matter. However, today isn't like other days. Today Elder Fu's son and grandson are being buried, and Elder Fu's narrow-mindedness is well-known. If he sees Ye Xiao, he might really take action against him."

"Then... what to do?" Jiang Miaoke immediately looked at Jiang Zhongzheng in shock and said, "Dad, Ye Xiao can't die!"

"In Bird City, there are less than three people who can surpass Elder Fu's strength, so it's difficult to handle this. I'll call your grandfather about it later," Jiang Zhongzheng said, also feeling somewhat helpless.

Jiang Miaoke was anxious and, hearing that Jiang Zhongzheng planned to call later, immediately said, "No, do it right away."

Meanwhile,

As the Jiang family's car was entering the Fu Mansion, Ye Xiao also jumped over the wall of the Fu Mansion. Since there were many guests inside, even in the yard, no one noticed Ye Xiao's presence.

Once inside the Fu Mansion, Ye Xiao immediately blended into the crowd, making it hard for even acquaintances to spot him amongst the people.

This was only Ye Xiao's second visit to the Fu Mansion. The first time was for a fight, and he didn't know how big the Fu Mansion was, let alone how many houses there were or who lived in which house.

So, after blending into the crowd, Ye Xiao began to look around.

Ye Xiao's purpose was clear.

Although the Fu family didn't usually have tight security, it would be difficult to roam around freely. However, today, with many guests present, the guards were more relaxed. Ye Xiao planned to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the Fu Mansion. Of course, if he could find the fifth layer fragment of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, that would be ideal.

The Fu Mansion was large, divided into front and back yards, with the front yard being about three-quarters of the entire area and the back yard only one-quarter. Most of the guests were in the front yard.

The closer he got to the backyard of the Fu Mansion, the fewer people there were, while the number of Fu family's guards increased.

"Stop!" At this moment, a Fu family guard suddenly called out to Ye Xiao, who was strolling casually.

Ye Xiao stopped upon hearing this.

The Fu family guard walked up to Ye Xiao, looked him over, and said, "Sorry, today's events are confined to the front yard."

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Oh, I know about that. But, nature calls, and I drank too much water. I saw some trees ahead and not many people, so I wanted to... you know."
