Where did Ye Xiao go?
This was the only thought Fang Jing had at the moment.
However, what Fang Jing saw was Bai Jia, who had left earlier, returning with four men who clearly didn't look like good people.
Just now, when Bai Jia came over, Fang Jing was engrossed in playing League of Legends. She was genuinely absorbed in it and really didn't notice Bai Jia and his thugs coming over.
"Darling, are you okay?" This voice wasn't coming from Ye Xiao's mouth, so who else would be saying it?
Upon hearing this, everyone present finally noticed Ye Xiao's presence. It turned out that Ye Xiao, out of nowhere, was already by Xia Mingyue's side, with one arm around Xia Mingyue's waist, preventing her from falling to the ground in embarrassment.
Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao, who was currently holding her waist with his arm, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't surprised. She initially thought Ye Xiao was engrossed in playing the game, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was aware of everything happening.
"I'm okay!" Xia Mingyue's voice was very soft, but Ye Xiao heard it.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly, helped Xia Mingyue up, and said, "As long as you're okay, it's good. I said before, anyone who dares to bully my wife will never need a wife in his lifetime."
"Ye Xiao, watch your words!" Xia Mingyue cautioned Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband want?"
Ye Xiao then shifted his gaze to the strongman who had just pushed Xia Mingyue, and then turned his eyes to Bai Jia.
At this moment, Bai Jia was truly surprised. He was astonished that he hadn't seen how Ye Xiao came out of his seat at all.
"Big brother wastrel, are these few impolite guys the ones you found?" Ye Xiao looked at Bai Jia and said unceremoniously.
The four thugs Bai Jia brought were immediately infuriated upon hearing this. It was clear that Ye Xiao didn't regard them at all, and with so many people watching, how could they maintain their reputation in the future?
"Damn, kid, do you really see yourself as Lord Guan?" The strongman who had pushed Xia Mingyue immediately pointed at Ye Xiao and cursed roughly.
Ye Xiao sneered and said, "I'm not Lord Guan, but as long as I'm your grandpa, it's enough."
"You dare say you're my grandpa?" The strongman was instantly infuriated, immediately walked towards Ye Xiao, and lifted his leg to kick Ye Xiao. But as soon as his leg left the ground, Ye Xiao's foot kicked his calf. With that kick, the strongman's upper body immediately lunged towards Ye Xiao. Xia Mingyue was startled, but Ye Xiao grabbed the strongman's face with one hand and pushed, causing the man to stagger several steps back, his legs giving way, and he fell directly to the ground. Ye Xiao's kick wasn't light at all.
The scuffle between the strongman and Ye Xiao wasn't clearly seen by the others, but they all clearly saw the strongman fall to the ground in a messy heap.
"Damn!" The other three thugs were immediately furious. Initially, in their view, as long as they stood there, Ye Xiao should immediately surrender or fall to his knees begging for mercy.
But in reality, none of what they expected happened.
"How dare you fight back!" one of them, seemingly the leader, glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn't even look at that man. Instead, he pulled out a chair for Xia Mingyue to sit down and said to her, "Ming Yue, sit here and watch how your man teaches these street hooligans a lesson."
To this, Xia Mingyue strangely nodded, without any sign of objection, even with a smile on her face—an expression of eager anticipation.
Ye Xiao then looked at Bai Jia and the other men.
"Want to fight, do you? I see the area between the competitive and regular zones is quite spacious. Let's fight there. But let me tell you, if any of you want to fight me today, and I cripple you, don't say I caused you trouble," Ye Xiao said coldly, looking at Bai Jia and the others.
Ye Xiao was really a bit angry now. What kind of joke is this? Oh, if it's a fight, it's a fight, but why push Xia Mingyue?
Ye Xiao had a very significant trait: he was extremely protective of his wife. To what extent? Let me put it this way: if someone caused his wife any grievance, he would definitely make that person eat coal dust from the ground. If others dared to physically touch his wife, sorry, it was serious.
Now, at this very moment, it was one of those serious situations.
When Bai Jia and the four men heard Ye Xiao's words, including the onlookers, they couldn't help but inwardly laugh.
Even if you can fight, there's no need to be so arrogant, right? Besides, it's one versus five, which is an inherently uneven matchup. Moreover, Ye Xiao's thin and frail appearance gave the impression of being weak, yet such arrogant words came out of his mouth.
At this moment, Bai Jia laughed loudly and said, "This is what you said. If we cripple you, don't hold any grudges."
Ye Xiao looked at Bai Jia and boasted, "If you can cripple me, I'll kneel before you for life."
"Haha, everyone heard it, this guy said that if I cripple him, he'll kneel to me for life. To make sure he keeps his word, I decide to cripple his legs." Bai Jia laughed heartily.
At this moment, the manager who was beaten by Bai Jia saw the situation and instantly became more afraid. If someone causes trouble by fighting here, his boss might demote and cut his pay, or even fire him. But if someone dies here, there's no option but to be fired immediately. So, to get the situation under control quickly, he ran to a concealed spot and hurriedly called for help.
Meanwhile, Bai Jia and his thugs came to the place Ye Xiao mentioned. Indeed, there was a large space over three meters in width and length between the regular area and the competitive area, which was also the biggest empty space in this internet café.
"Get him!" Seeing Ye Xiao approaching, Bai Jia shouted loudly to his thugs.
Instantly, except for the strong man, Bai Jia and the other three men charged at Ye Xiao, and punches and kicks flew towards Ye Xiao.
At this moment, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing stood not far away, watching intently at their man, Ye Xiao!
"Ye Xiao will definitely win!" Fang Jing said to Xia Mingyue. But although she sounded like she was speaking to Xia Mingyue, she was actually reassuring herself because she was also quite worried about Ye Xiao.
Just like Xia Mingyue previously said about the relationship between Shangguan Jinhong and Li Xunhuan, one should never be blindly overconfident. Being too blindly overconfident means that when one loses everything, it would be unacceptable.
However, Fang Jing's worry was clearly unnecessary. Who is Ye Xiao? A martial artist at the peak of Xuan Rank even in an ordinary state. Facing some small-time thugs, it's simply a piece of cake.
Of course, Ye Xiao also didn't want the people present to know he wasn't an ordinary person because of a fight.
So, when fighting these ordinary people, he not only didn't use any Inner Power True Qi but also restrained 90% of his strength, making it appear that Ye Xiao was just slightly more skilled than these thugs.
However, being just a bit more skilled was enough, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Jia and his thugs were all lying on the ground.
Ye Xiao stood in front of Bai Jia, looking at Bai Jia whose eyes were filled with surprise.
Bai Jia, seeing Ye Xiao towering over him, instantly felt extremely scared and quickly said, "You... what do you want? If you dare to do anything to me, you'll surely be in trouble."
Ye Xiao then shifted his gaze away from Bai Jia and looked towards the leader of the thugs.
Bai Jia, seeing this, felt his anxious heart finally settle down.
In his view, Ye Xiao must have been frightened by his words.
But Ye Xiao's next words were a big shock to Bai Jia.
Ye Xiao pointed at the leader of the thugs and said, "You, go cripple Bai Jia for me, I don't want to touch someone as useless as Bai Jia anymore."
The man was shocked upon hearing Ye Xiao's words and hurriedly said, "Mister, I failed to see Mount Taishan, but I really can't..."
"Alright, I won't make it difficult for you!" Ye Xiao said expressionlessly, "Since you want to protect him, you'll have to suffer some minor punishment."
Upon hearing this, the man was puzzled, but before he could react, Ye Xiao's foot stamped down on the man's ankle. There was a cracking sound, followed by a scream, as the man's ankle bones completely shattered. Without receiving high-level treatment, these feet were as good as useless.
Ah?
Ye Xiao's action astounded everyone and shocked them as well. They didn't expect Ye Xiao to be so ruthless.
Ye Xiao didn't stop because of others' opinions. Instead, he looked at another man with green-dyed hair and said, "Cripple Bai Jia for me."
"Ah?" Green Hair was surprised again, but given the precedent set by his leader, he was truly hesitant.
"Good, very loyal, but..."
Ye Xiao was about to speak, and Green Hair, fearing he would be crippled, quickly said, "I'll go, I'll go!"
Green Hair stood up and hurriedly walked towards Bai Jia.
Green Hair stood in front of Bai Jia, looked at Bai Jia's terrified eyes, then looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Need my help?"
Seeing Ye Xiao's smile, Green Hair was even more scared, heart ached, and he immediately started beating Bai Jia fiercely. As a thug, he naturally knew how to cripple someone. So, soon Bai Jia's legs were crippled.
