Ye Xiao had no idea what the commotion outside was about, nor did he care to find out. What business do men have in meddling with women's affairs? Besides, Ye Xiao had his expectations, so he completely shut out the world outside his room, focusing solely on the secret manual before him.

He dumped the secret manuals he had seized from the Fu family onto the bed.

The blanket that had been stained with blood by An Meihui had already been thrown out for washing, and now Ye Xiao's bed was covered with fresh bedding.

Ye Xiao couldn't care less whether it was clean or not; he eagerly pulled out the fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The fifth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Skill was titled 'Panlong as Moon.'

It was quite a name. Ye Xiao skimmed through it and was immediately taken aback. This Panlong as Moon was distinctly different from the previous four layers. It's not that the content wasn't continuous; in fact, it was too continuous and profoundly deep.

It was so profound that, even though Ye Xiao was well-versed in the first four layers, he still found the fifth layer, Panlong as Moon, challenging. However, in this Panlong as Moon, the Nine Yang True Qi began to be referred to as 'Nine Yang True Dragon Qi.'

The difference of a single word, yet worlds apart.

At the same time, Ye Xiao was pleasantly surprised.

The Fire Dragon Claw was a martial art Ye Xiao had found at a dusty corner of the Qiu Mountain Book Pavilion. Had it not been for a small accident, he wouldn't have noticed this martial technique. After acquiring it, Ye Xiao realized that the Fire Dragon Claw was a high-level martial skill, so he adopted it as his trump card. The Fire Dragon Claw was indeed formidable and always gave Ye Xiao a lot of confidence whenever he faced strong opponents.

Now, after reading Panlong as Moon, Ye Xiao was exceedingly excited and pleasantly surprised, because this Panlong as Moon seemed to be a manual tailored for the Fire Dragon Claw, offering massive enhancement to it. Ye Xiao believed that once he mastered Panlong as Moon, his trump card, the Fire Dragon Claw, would undoubtedly see a qualitative breakthrough.

Having practiced Panlong as Moon several times, Ye Xiao promptly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

At this moment, clusters of purple with strands of yellow True Qi began to circulate. Within just a minute or two, Ye Xiao was enveloped in the purple-yellow True Qi, forming a large spherical cloud of gas. Ye Xiao seemed to blend with this purple-yellow True Qi inside the gas sphere.

When the purple-yellow True Qi around Ye Xiao reached its peak, he immediately attempted to practice Panlong as Moon.

Although Panlong as Moon was difficult, since Ye Xiao was already familiar with the first four layers of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he could genuinely proceed step by step, integrating and understanding it thoroughly.

While practicing Panlong as Moon, the True Qi within Ye Xiao, which had previously been growing slowly, finally showed signs of surging. Ye Xiao continued his efforts, and as the True Qi circulated faster, its growth rate increased as well. He didn't know how long had passed, but Ye Xiao felt it had reached 1.5 times the previous slow state. Although there was still a big gap compared to a rapid surge in True Qi, the current upward trend was already a great source of joy.

Suddenly, there was a 'knock knock' at the door.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly. He was completely immersed in the ocean of True Qi, and the pleasure from it was a hundred times more satisfying than a steam bath.

But now he was being disturbed.

To ignore it? Not open the door?

Ye Xiao recalled the scene of that crowd of women joining forces and finally decided to gradually conclude his practice, letting the purple-yellow True Qi slowly dissipate.

However, when Ye Xiao opened his eyes, he suddenly noticed some light outside the curtains.

Why is there light?

Ye Xiao was a bit surprised. Hadn't it only been one or two hours? It should be around eleven at night at most. But...

Outside the room, the knocking continued, accompanied by Cheng Yun's voice, saying, "Ye Xiao, are you dead asleep in there? Are you going to work or not? Have you ever seen a boss wait for their subordinate?"

Ye Xiao casually replied, "What nonsense are you talking about in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Cheng Yun was first taken aback, then burst into laughter and said, "Ye Xiao, are you muddled from your sleep? It's already eight thirty in the morning."

What?

Upon hearing Cheng Yun's words, Ye Xiao jumped up from the bed, then looked outside. It seemed it wasn't just light from lamps, so he quickly ran to the window, opened the curtains, and was instantly blinded by the sunlight pouring in.

Shit!

Ye Xiao almost swore aloud. It was actually the next day already. He had been practicing Panlong as Moon for over ten hours, but he felt it had only been around two hours. This Panlong as Moon was indeed extraordinary.

Although it's somewhat more difficult than the previous four layers of cultivation, this difficulty is negligible compared to the advantages of cultivation.

"Okay, I'll be right out." Ye Xiao first responded to Cheng Yun outside the door, and then started circulating his True Qi again. Instantly, he felt his True Qi was much purer than before.

Indeed, it was purer.

It's like having a gold bar that, after being refined, hasn't lost any weight. So does that mean its original price stays the same? Obviously, the purer the gold bar, the more valuable it is.

The same goes for this pure True Qi compared to impure True Qi.

"Not bad, really not bad!" Ye Xiao secretly rejoiced.

Although the True Qi within him was the same as before, it was now much stronger than before. It seemed that his level hadn't improved, but in reality, it had secretly advanced.

After a brief moment of happiness, Ye Xiao quickly calmed his excited state of mind. Then he carefully put away the Nine Yin Phoenix Skill and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist, as well as the Bone Strengthening Pill formula, placing them in a hidden spot in the room before heading out.

Yesterday, when Ye Xiao obtained the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist, he was eager to learn it quickly. However, after some thought, he realized that sharpening his skills wouldn't delay his progress. If he waited until he perfected the Fifth Layer of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, then practicing the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fist would be effortless.

Ye Xiao was also looking forward to reaching the Great Perfection of the Fifth Layer of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, wondering how much his level would rise, and whether it might reach the legendary Earth Rank.

In the Martial Arts World, martial artists who could reach the Earth Rank were considered super experts. No matter where they were, they were looked upon as extremely formidable existences—someone people dare not provoke. At higher levels of the Earth Rank, they were even rarer experts in the Martial Arts World.

At least in Ye Xiao's knowledge, the strongest person he had seen was an expert at the later stages of the Earth Rank, and this person was his master, the Sect Leader of Qiu Mountain Sect. However, that old man now had a white beard. Although his strength was formidable, Ye Xiao looked down on him. After all, reaching that age and leading a simple life was, in Ye Xiao's words, a waste of life.

In Ye Xiao's view, if a peerless expert cannot enjoy life, then their life is wasted. Of course, Ye Xiao was different from others. His goal was very clear—to find his parents.

From Minghai City to Bird City, from Ling Hengyu to that old man in black, everything silently told Ye Xiao that his parents were alive. To find them, he needed to prove he was qualified. Perhaps he wasn't yet, but Ye Xiao believed that through his hard work, he would find his parents in the end.

No child doesn't want to see their parents. In front of others, Ye Xiao was the confident Brother Xiao, but in front of his parents he never met, he was just a naive and ignorant child.

After calming himself down, the usual roguish smirk appeared on Ye Xiao's face again.

When Ye Xiao walked out of the room, he saw Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, Purple Flame, and Fang Jing sitting inside.

"Ye Xiao, you're quite something." Wang Luoxin smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "Ming Yue has been waiting for you downstairs for half an hour. What exactly were you doing in the room? Couldn't have been hiding a beautiful woman, could you?"

Her words immediately provoked a burst of laughter from the beauties.

Ye Xiao responded with a wry smile, "How could that be? I was just really sleepy, so I slept in a bit. I haven't even freshened up yet—I need to brush my teeth and wash my face first."

"You're something else. Alright, go wash up." Fang Jing sat down directly on a chair and said, "I want to see how long you can dawdle."

Ye Xiao chuckled and walked into the bathroom.

Who were they kidding? Brushing teeth and washing face—are these the most important things? Clearly, peeing is the biggest thing. If my bladder bursts, who's going to pass on the family line of the Ye family?

Continuing the family line is a big deal.

After relieving his bladder quickly, Ye Xiao then brushed his teeth and washed his face. He considered washing his hair too, but since his hairstyle wasn't messy, and he had washed it during his shower last night, he let it be.

The dashing Young Master Ye walked out of the bathroom, noticing Fang Jing looking at him with a complicated expression. Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Do you feel like I've become more handsome? To be honest, I feel the same way."

"Do you really have anything to do with the word 'handsome'?" Fang Jing struck back mercilessly.

Ye Xiao acted as if he didn't hear her and said, "Whether or not you think I've become more handsome, I definitely feel that way. Well then, it's getting late, let's go to work."

After speaking, Ye Xiao changed his shoes at the door and walked out of the room.

Fang Jing looked at the departing Ye Xiao, then back at Wang Luoxin and the others in the living room, frustrated beyond words, and said, "What kind of person is he!"
