Ye Xiao listened to Xia Mingyue's words, feeling warmth in his heart. Truly considerate words.

At this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly understood that for these confidants in front of him, anything he did was worthwhile because these people truly deserved him risking his life for.

Many would think it's disgraceful to lose one's life for a woman, but it really depends on what kind of woman it is. A woman like Xia Mingyue is worth it, because she knows your arms exist to protect her.

Listening to Xia Mingyue's words, Ye Xiao's heart couldn't help but twitch.

I don't want to!

Such simple and persistent four words made Ye Xiao's heart feel a warm current and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Xia Mingyue looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi also looked at Xia Mingyue, staring at her with sharp eyes, clearly not wanting Xia Mingyue to talk nonsense.

"Grandpa Zhao, hello, my name is Xia Mingyue. I don't know if you know me, maybe not, because I'm too insignificant. But your grandson, Zhao Pu, knows me because he took a liking to me, even wanted to bully me. If it weren't for Ye Xiao, he would definitely have succeeded because I'm a weak girl unable to resist."

Zhao Guangyi's face became increasingly ugly as he listened to Xia Mingyue's words, glaring at her, he said, "You need to be responsible for your words, giving up your reputation for Ye Xiao is not worth it."

"No, it's not about worth. My grandfather, father, mother, and all my relatives taught me first to be a person of conscience. I feel I haven't done enough, but today, I can assure you that every word I said is true. Ye Xiao only acted against Zhao Pu because Zhao Pu almost committed a heinous act against me. To put it simply, he was acting on behalf of justice!" Xia Mingyue said seriously.

"Haha, what a righteous act that is!" Zhao Guangyi said angrily, "What right does he have to act on behalf of justice? I think he's just a clown. Regardless, aren't you perfectly fine now?"

"Brother Zhao!" Jiang Wuqi couldn't hold it in any longer. After all, Xia Mingyue was his granddaughter, his only granddaughter.

Zhao Guangyi was so dismissive of Xia Mingyue, clearly showing no face to the Jiang Family.

Zhao Guangyi looked at Jiang Wuqi.

Jiang Wuqi said, "Brother Zhao, let's just let this matter rest, for my sake."

Zhao Guangyi looked at Jiang Wuqi and then at Ye Xiao, who was also looking at him at this moment.

He so wanted to kill Ye Xiao, but he knew himself that with Jiang Wuqi here, it would hardly happen today.

"You can protect him for a while, but can you protect him for a lifetime?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Jiang Wuqi and said, "Today, I'm giving you face, but if I meet him again in the future, don't blame me for not giving you face, old Zhao."

As soon as Zhao Guangyi finished speaking, he lightly jumped with his foot and immediately retreated more than ten meters, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few steps.

Jiang Wuqi watched Zhao Guangyi leave and couldn't help but sigh lightly. Indeed, he could protect Ye Xiao for a while, but could he protect him for a lifetime?

Jiang Wuqi truly didn't understand Ye Xiao's actual strength, so he also believed that Ye Xiao was unlikely to be a match for Zhao Guangyi. After all, Zhao Guangyi's strength was similar to his, both Earth Rank experts.

"Thank you, Mingyue!" Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue, smiling slightly.

Xia Mingyue felt a little embarrassed at this point. She looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Don't be too happy, I just don't want to lose a driver."

"I'm the company's vice president now," Ye Xiao immediately said.

"Who said a vice president can't also be the company driver?" Xia Mingyue snorted.

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "It's whatever, my car's already been destroyed by them."

When Ye Xiao mentioned this, Xia Mingyue, Jiang Miaoke, Fang Jing, and the others present finally noticed a car destroyed in the distance. The car had already been completely wrecked, leaving only a broken frame.

"Is that the Audi a8?" Fang Jing asked, surprised, looking at the frame.

Ye Xiao nodded with a smile.

Jiang Miaoke immediately said, "We should have Zhao Guangyi compensate for it."

"Coco, don't be rude!" Jiang Wuqi looked at Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke stuck out her tongue, and said no more.

Ye Xiao walked up to Jiang Wuqi, looking at him gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Jiang, for today."

"Don't take it to heart, are you hurt?" Jiang Wuqi asked Ye Xiao with concern.

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Ye Xiao knew that Jiang Wuqi wasn't looking for a few words of thanks, so he didn't bother with pleasantries.

At this moment, Jiang Zhongzheng walked up to Ye Xiao, smiled, and said, "Ye Xiao, not bad. You managed to hold on until we arrived."

Ye Xiao grinned and said, "Maybe Zhao Guangyi thought I was too weak and wanted to kill me slowly."

"That's possible too!" Jiang Zhongzheng said, "But, today's matter is over. Ye Xiao, you can't be like this again in the future. If we were five minutes late today, you'd be lying here forever. I know what kind of person Zhao Guangyi is better than you."

Jiang Wuqi then said to Ye Xiao, "Yes, and in the future, you can't meet Zhao Guangyi alone. His strength is not as simple as you think. Even though you are regarded as an exceptional talent, no matter how strong a Xuan Rank is, it's impossible to fight against an Earth Rank. This is a solid rule. Moreover, this matter is not over; Zhao Guangyi will certainly look for another opportunity to strike at you. You must be extremely careful from now on."

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I will certainly remember."

In Jiang Wuqi's eyes, Ye Xiao was merely a talented martial artist, but a talent no more than nineteen years old — no matter how extraordinary — could not oppose an Earth Rank expert.

Of course, Jiang Wuqi did not know that Ye Xiao cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which is from the legendary Heavenly Book. Not only that, but he also possesses the Mad God Skill, an ancient forbidden cultivation technique. All of this destined Ye Xiao to be an anomaly.

"Grandpa, let's not talk here anymore, Ye Xiao is injured. Let's go bandage him first." Jiang Miaoke saw Jiang Wuqi and Ye Xiao couldn't stop talking, and immediately couldn't help but say to Jiang Wuqi.

Jiang Wuqi chuckled and said, "Ah, getting old means I talk too much. Okay, okay, let's go bandage up first."

"Ye Xiao, let's get in the car and leave this place!" Jiang Miaoke said as she pulled Ye Xiao towards their car.

Ye Xiao looked at the corpses of the Divine Snake Eight Demons on the ground, then said to Jiang Wuqi, "Grandpa Jiang, these are the Divine Snake Eight Demons from Beihai Country. How should we deal with these bodies?"

"Isn't cremation popular now?" Jiang Wuqi didn't even glance at the bodies of the Divine Snake Eight Demons and said flatly, "Zhongzheng, deal with it. Don't leave any traces."

Jiang Zhongzheng immediately nodded and agreed.

Jiang Wuqi then said to Ye Xiao, "You all go ahead, Ye Xiao hasn't had lunch yet, find a place to fill your stomach first."

So, Ye Xiao and the three women headed towards the cars parked in the distance.

Ye Xiao reached the middle of the two cars, hesitating about which car to get into, when Jiang Miaoke pulled him into one.

Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng watched as the Porsche and BMW x6 slowly drove away.

An amused smile appeared on Jiang Wuqi's face, and he murmured, "This boy, just like his father. Sigh, let's hope the road ahead isn't too thorny."

"Father, who exactly is Ye Xiao's father?" Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Jiang Wuqi. He had been taking extra care of Ye Xiao as per his father's instructions, but who was Ye Xiao's father that warranted such protection from the Jiang family?

Jiang Wuqi chuckled, turned towards the Flowing Sand River, and said, "He was a miraculous young man, a peerless martial arts genius."

"But there isn't a super strong person with the surname Ye in the Yan Country. Even if there was, it wouldn't be described as miraculous," Jiang Zhongzheng became even more puzzled.

Jiang Wuqi laughed heartily and said, "Who said a son must have his father's surname? Perhaps, due to certain events, some accidents, it's possible to bear the mother's surname. Don't think too much about it; the Jiang family received great kindness from that man."

"Father, could the person you're talking about be..." Jiang Zhongzheng, who was about forty, could recall some events from two or three decades ago, so he thought of that person at this moment, filled with shock.

Jiang Wuqi smiled and said, "Since the battle of the Palmetto Ocean, dozens of top experts vanished, and he disappeared too. However, I believe that in this world, the only one who could kill him is himself."

"Could he still be alive?" Jiang Zhongzheng said in surprise.

Jiang Wuqi replied, "Perhaps. Anyway, whether he's alive or not, we must take good care of this Crown Prince. Otherwise, the Jiang family won't be able to hold its head high in front of him."

"Crown Prince? Haha, if he's his son, he is indeed a Crown Prince. Father, I'll certainly pay more attention to Ye Xiao and make sure to eliminate any potential enemies he has in advance," Jiang Zhongzheng said.

Jiang Wuqi shook his head and said, "No need. What we should do is make sure Ye Xiao doesn't die. A child should experience more, and a bit of hardship is nothing. Compared to his father, his life now is like that of an immortal."

If Ye Xiao were here and heard Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng refer to him as the Crown Prince, he would certainly be very surprised and would surely keep digging for answers until he found out who his father was.

Like father, like son. Who was Ye Xiao's father? He was a man full of miracles, just like Ye Xiao, who feared nothing, even more arrogant than Ye Xiao himself.
