At this moment, Fang Jing inside the small house clearly heard Ye Xiao's words, and her face immediately turned red. She murmured, "This bastard, always talking nonsense every day."

Fang Chunzhi smiled and said to Fang Jing, "It seems Ye Xiao has feelings for you. Yet, it's remarkable he managed to find this place."

Fang Jing quickly told Fang Chunzhi, "Mom, don't misunderstand. Ye Xiao is quite alright as a person. It's just his mouth, always saying whatever comes to mind, regardless of whether people want to hear it."

Fang Chunzhi sighed and said no more.

At this time, inside the warehouse!

Liu Wenchao, hearing Ye Xiao's words, felt his scalp tingle and immediately said, "Mr. Ye, this must be a misunderstanding. The people you're talking about are definitely not here."

"Not here?" Ye Xiao chuckled lightly and said, "You should be able to imagine that your neck isn't as hard as steel. I believe, with just a snap, it'll certainly not remain firm any longer."

Ye Xiao's words were full of threat.

Liu Wenchao broke into a sweat, frightened all over. He wasn't familiar with this Ye Xiao, but the Liu family's spies confirmed that Ye Xiao killed Fu Bin. If he dared to kill a member of the Fu family, how could he not dare to kill him?

"Mr. Ye, please… don't get angry. Our Liu family has always hoped to become friends with you." Liu Wenchao said.

"You've almost worn out my patience." Ye Xiao snorted.

Liu Wenchao immediately felt the grip on his neck tighten.

"Release them, release them," Liu Wenchao wailed like a ghost. He knew that if he didn't release them quickly, he probably wouldn't survive. If he stayed alive, the Liu family would soon become theirs, father and son. Liu Wenchao's status would also rise dramatically. How could he die now?

So, no matter what, preserving his life was the most important.

"Second Young Master, this…" The subordinates looked at Liu Wenchao, somewhat troubled. After all, capturing Liu Wenzhuo, Fang Chunzhi, and Fang Jing was the patriarch's order. Could they just release them like this?

"Damn it, do you want me to die? If you don't release them, I'll skin you alive," Liu Wenchao fumed.

The subordinates, hearing Liu Wenchao's words, had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Later, in the small room, Fang Chunzhi and her daughter Fang Jing were brought out, still bound with hemp rope.

"Ye Xiao!" Fang Jing was both shocked and delighted upon seeing Ye Xiao lifting Liu Wenchao with one hand.

However, no matter how astonished she was, she couldn't hide the fingerprints and bloodstains on her face.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao's expression turned cold and grim.

At this moment, Liu Wenchao said, "Mr. Ye, release me, and I'll immediately release the mother and daughter along with Liu Wenzhuo."

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing's once mesmerizing face, now tragic in appearance, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. At the same time, a fierce flame ignited inside him.

"Fang Jing, should this person be killed?" Ye Xiao asked Fang Jing with a serious expression.

Fang Jing glared at Liu Wenchao and said, "Kill him, definitely kill him."

"You can't kill me. If you do, my people will definitely kill them too," Liu Wenchao shouted loudly.

As soon as Liu Wenchao spoke, a man escorting Fang Jing and Fang Chunying immediately drew a short knife, pressing its sharp blade against Fang Jing's neck.

Clearly, Liu Wenchao was trying to threaten Ye Xiao. But who was Ye Xiao? He was someone who would go mad with rage for the woman he loved. Seeing Fang Jing beaten up, he had already decided to kill, and not just kill, but to slaughter everyone in sight.

"Fang Jing said to kill you, so you must die!" Ye Xiao's voice was chillingly cold.

"What?" At this moment, almost everyone looked at Ye Xiao in shock.

Just then, there was a 'crack' sound.

Liu Wenchao's head slumped down, and blood started flowing from his mouth.

"Ah?" Everyone was even more shocked. No one expected Ye Xiao to kill Liu Wenchao without even negotiating. His methods were not only ruthless but also sharp.

As everyone was still immersed in the shock of Liu Wenchao's death, Ye Xiao swiftly moved to Fang Jing's side.

The man with the knife saw Ye Xiao approaching and immediately attempted to slash Fang Jing's neck, but it was too late.

Everything was too late.

The man with the knife tried to slash down, but no matter how much force he used, he couldn't do it. Looking down, he finally realized that Ye Xiao's two fingers were tightly gripping his knife.

"Ah?" The man was utterly amazed, but at this moment, though the knife was still in his hand, it was no longer under his control.

Ye Xiao's two fingers suddenly gathered immense strength, and the steel-forged short knife bent forcefully. Then, like lightning, it shot into the man's neck, and his neck spewed blood profusely.

Ye Xiao didn't even glance at the man, but grabbed the hemp rope with both hands and yanked it sharply, splitting it in two instantly.

"Ye Xiao!" Fang Jing couldn't hold back anymore, she directly threw her arms around Ye Xiao's neck and burst into tears.

Although Fang Jing had been relatively composed before, she truly thought she was doomed today before Ye Xiao came. Liu Wenchao's vile words to her mother only left Fang Jing more at a loss.

But now, it was all over, they were all safe.

Ye Xiao gently patted Fang Jing and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? I didn't agree to let anything happen to you. Who dares to harm you, haha? Crying won't look pretty."

"You're so annoying!" Fang Jing continued to cry.

But at this moment, Fang Jing seemed like a little woman acting coyly towards her beloved.

"He killed the second young master!" Someone shouted, and soon everyone in the warehouse swarmed towards Ye Xiao.

They had come with Liu Wenchao, officially tasked with protecting him. But now that Liu Wenchao was killed, no matter what they say, Liu Shixun probably wouldn't spare them.

Fang Chunying and Fang Jing saw this group approaching them and, even ignoring the fallen Liu Wenzhuo on the ground, felt a bit fearful.

Ye Xiao patted Fang Jing on the shoulder, smiled and said, "You and Auntie take two steps back, I'll handle these people."

Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao, nodded, and worriedly said, "You be careful."

"Haha, I'll live well, or else you'd have to be a widow." Ye Xiao laughed heartily.

Fang Jing's face immediately flushed slightly.

Fang Chunying quickly pulled Fang Jing back, while Ye Xiao took a few steps forward.

Fang Jing watched Ye Xiao, thinking that Ye Xiao was bound to fight to the death with these people, worrying her to death.

However, who would have thought, Ye Xiao walked up, coughed, and said, "Brothers, can you spare me?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Liu Wenchao's followers couldn't help but look at each other, apparently unsure of what to make of it.

"You killed our second young master, at least you have to come with us." One person didn't dare underestimate Ye Xiao, after all, right after Ye Xiao killed Liu Wenchao, he practically flashed next to Fang Jing; such speed wasn't ordinary.

"But I don't have time, you saw it, my wife just got scared, my main task now is to comfort her. As for going to the Liu family, rest assured, I'll visit when I have time. You should leave first." Ye Xiao said with a smile to the group.

"Are you joking? You killed our second young master, and that's it?"

"I can't help it, didn't I just say? I have something to do, when I have time, I'll visit. I just said I'm a kind person, and being kind means being honest, you should go." Ye Xiao said casually.

"Hmph, it won't be as simple as you think." Another person glared at Ye Xiao.

"Looks like you all are a match for Liu Wenchao. Let's say I'm not bullying you, let your Earth Rank expert step out to show me, everyone else scatter." Ye Xiao said with his head raised.

That arrogant demeanor was really displayed vividly.

The people from the Liu family heard Ye Xiao's words, immediately looked at each other, their hearts uncertain.

They are all Martial Arts experts, but the more skilled they are, the more they know the strength of Martial Artists is distinct.

"What do you mean? Are you an Earth Rank expert?" They looked at Ye Xiao, with none daring to step forward, just someone speaking to Ye Xiao from where they stood.

They had seen Ye Xiao's movement speed, and now that Ye Xiao was challenging Earth Rank experts, they almost concluded that Ye Xiao is an Earth Rank expert.

Ye Xiao asked this question deliberately. After all, Earth Rank experts are very rare; not to mention Earth Rank, even mid to late Xuan Rank experts are treated as honored guests wherever they go, how could they be treated as subordinates?

"Me? Haha, you should consider me an ordinary person." Ye Xiao said with feigned mystery.

Hearing this, that group was even more unsure how to deal with Ye Xiao.

The group stood in place, not moving, not daring to approach, obviously hesitating, fearing Ye Xiao might frighten them.

"Let me test your skills." At this moment, a man with a firm face and serious expression stepped forward.

"You really want to fight me?" Ye Xiao looked at the man and said, "I'm supposed to fight Earth Rank experts, if you're not up to Earth Rank, better stay back, in case I accidentally harm you, that wouldn't be good, so you better go back."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the man snorted coldly and said, "Bluffing, I'll see how strong you are, if you're strong, dying by your hand is no big deal."

"Life is priceless, brother, don't be impulsive." Ye Xiao advised with a face full of concern.

At this time, the Liu family members watched Ye Xiao actually persuade the firm-faced man, suddenly finding it strange, and started doubting Ye Xiao's strength.
