Ye Xiao glanced at the woman, and at this moment, she also looked at Ye Xiao.

"Mr. Ye, you... you still came." The woman lying on the ground said to Ye Xiao with difficulty.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Ye Xiao was immediately surprised, thinking to himself, is this person An Meihui?

However, Ye Xiao was cautious as he walked to the woman's side and looked at her, saying, "How do you know me? Who are you?"

"I... I am An Meihui."

Upon hearing An Meihui's words, Ye Xiao immediately squatted down; it was obvious at this time that An Meihui was seriously injured.

Ye Xiao held An Meihui's wrist, his fingers touching her pulse, and in an instant, he understood the condition within An Meihui's body; her meridians were in disarray from being beaten.

At this moment, Ye Xiao rapidly transmitted Nine Yang True Qi into An Meihui's body, and soon beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. After about three minutes, she felt tightness in her chest, a salty taste in her throat, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her face turned pale.

Ye Xiao immediately withdrew the Nine Yang True Qi and looked at An Meihui, asking, "How do you feel now?"

An Meihui said, "The congested blood has been expelled, and I feel much better. Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Ye Xiao finally took a good look at An Meihui. Although she was pale at the moment, her extraordinary beauty was undeniable. An Meihui was indeed a beauty, and at the age of twenty-five or six, she had a demeanor that Jiang Miaoke and others could not match.

"Haha, don't call me Mr. Ye, just call me Ye Xiao," Ye Xiao said with a smile to An Meihui.

Ye Xiao said, "I'll help you sit inside to recuperate."

An Meihui immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Mr... um, Ye Xiao, Fu Tianjue is about to die. You should go kill him quickly. If he regains his strength, it will be very difficult to kill him."

Ye Xiao slightly smiled and said, "Never mind, since ordinary people cannot enter here, there must be some treasure inside. We might as well go in and take a look first. If there is something good, then it was worth coming."

"Ah?" An Meihui really didn't expect Ye Xiao to have such an idea, but since that's what he said, she could only agree, as she really didn't have much strength left at the moment.

Ye Xiao helped An Meihui into the room and just happened to see a very wide chair at the front, so he immediately helped her over.

"This might be where Fu Tianjue practices. You can sit here and adjust your condition, while I'll take a look around," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Ye Xiao, it's better to kill Fu Tianjue first, otherwise, we might not survive," An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Haste makes waste. Rest well; those who should die always die."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, An Meihui ceased to speak, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to adjust her breathing.

Ye Xiao's gaze turned to the books placed on the side wall, and he immediately walked over.

Ye Xiao had only heard from the black-clothed old man that the fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill was in the Fu family. But whether it was in this room, he did not know. However, since this place was the Fu family's most secretive spot, it was likely the fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill was here.

Ye Xiao came to the bookshelf and quickly searched, but he could not find what he was looking for.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill was made from different paper than ordinary paper, so it could be found quickly on a shelf. But after Ye Xiao searched all over, he found nothing.

"Right, such an important secret manual, Fu Tianjue wouldn't be foolish enough to put it in a place that could be found at any time," Ye Xiao thought, as his eyes quickly scanned the entire hall, suddenly a painting caught his attention.

It was a very ordinary painting with modern-looking paper, incomparable to the antique calligraphy and painting displayed in the hall, making it worthless in monetary terms.

If an antiques expert came, they would surely mock the owner for displaying such paintings.

Yet, it was for this very reason that it caught Ye Xiao's attention.

In a suitable location, something inappropriate appeared, which naturally arouses suspicion. Ye Xiao immediately walked over, carefully moved the painting aside, and suddenly, a hidden compartment appeared in front of him. Ye Xiao immediately opened it, revealing a rectangular antique box, which he took out.

The feel of this antique box was gentle, obviously not made from ordinary wood, with a golden lock on top. Ye Xiao planned to smash it with force, but found the lock and wooden box to be quite sturdy, so he quickly gathered True Qi and struck the box hard.

Ye Xiao initially thought the box would shatter, but to his surprise, it merely had a crack and did not break apart.

A very sturdy box indeed.

Ye Xiao could not help being secretly amazed.

But just at that moment, suddenly, a black shadow swooshed in from outside and darted towards Ye Xiao.

The person's speed was extremely quick, and upon sensing it, Ye Xiao did not dare underestimate it. He swayed his body to dodge a palm strike aimed at him. Only then did he clearly see who had come.

It was Fu Tianjue.

At this point, Fu Tianjue looked very unwell, with blood at the corners of his mouth, and it seemed to be oozing out, albeit slowly, enough to prove he was severely injured.

Ye Xiao did not take the box. Instead, he smiled at Fu Tianjue, saying, "Elder Fu, long time no see, I've missed you very much."

Seeing Ye Xiao, Fu Tianjue's face looked unsightly as he angrily said, "Ye Xiao, I never expected you to be so desperate as to poison me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao innocently replied, "Elder Fu, I've truly never used poison, so you have wrongly blamed me. I didn't come here to deal with you today, rather to borrow something from you."

Fu Tianjue did not immediately approach Ye Xiao, but stood beside the box, which clearly seemed very important.

Fu Tianjue was seriously wounded, and because he had taken Qi Scattering Dew, his internal meridians were obstructed, and his strength was at thirty percent at most.

Fu Tianjue could feel that if his strength continued to rise, his meridians would not be able to withstand it.

"What do you want to borrow?" Fu Tianjue glared at Ye Xiao and said coldly.

At this moment, Zhang Quan led people in, and upon seeing Ye Xiao, he was greatly surprised.

Zhang Quan had been quite puzzled before. Fu Tianjue used the price of damaged meridians to kill four people outside, then immediately rushed into this small courtyard. So, he ran inside to find out what was happening, and if possible, he would be willing to take the chance to kill Fu Tianjue in his severely injured state.

But upon seeing Ye Xiao now, Zhang Quan knew he didn't have to make a move, so he stood at the doorway.

Ye Xiao did not even glance at Zhang Quan, instead, he smiled and said to Fu Tianjue, "Elder Fu, the thing I want to borrow from you is not something important, at least not to you, it's that fifth volume remnant."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fu Tianjue immediately frowned, looking up and down at Ye Xiao, saying, "How do you know I have the fifth volume?"

"Haha, why shouldn't I know? Don't worry, I won't take it away, just a glance will do," Ye Xiao said, "I believe Elder Fu wouldn't be so stingy."

Fu Tianjue looked at Ye Xiao, his hand unconsciously placed on the wooden box. If it had been an ordinary day, just hearing such words, Fu Tianjue would have immediately wanted to kill Ye Xiao at once.

But now, Fu Tianjue dared not move, knowing his physical condition.

At this moment, Fu Tianjue looked towards Zhang Quan and others at the door, saying, "Zhang Quan, what are you standing there for? Grab him."

Zhang Quan looked at Fu Tianjue; he was smart enough to know that if Fu Tianjue could easily kill Ye Xiao, he wouldn't have asked them to step in. So, he glanced around at the others.

Seeing Zhang Quan and others standing still, Fu Tianjue immediately frowned and roared, "Zhang Quan, didn't you hear what I said?"

"Elder Fu, don't be mistaken, if you could easily kill Ye Xiao, would you need us to step in? So take a look at this yourself," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Without waiting for Fu Tianjue to finish, Ye Xiao immediately said, "What if it was his dear son Fu Hongyi that killed him?"

"Therefore, it's not me who destroyed your family, but your own family members," Ye Xiao said, "Oh, and by the way, those who destroyed your Fu family aren't me but your own people." Ye Xiao smiled and continued.
