Martial Arts Master in the City

"But..." Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao's smiling face, not quite sure what to say.

"Don't think too much, women worrying too much can age prematurely," Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Jiang Miaoke. "Besides, you're so pretty, how can I let those beasts bully you? Can't you tell I'm the hero who draws his sword to help when he sees injustice?"

Jiang Miaoke blushed when she heard Ye Xiao's words, but soon she looked at Ye Xiao again and said, "The Feng family is quite powerful. Although Feng Hai and Feng Yang haven't practiced martial arts yet, if they find someone to deal with you, it won't be that simple."

Ye Xiao sighed, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, it's fine. Don't you trust my abilities? For now, think about how to get the debt back."

Jiang Miaoke nodded slightly.

But just at that moment, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

"That fast?" Jiang Miaoke immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "There won't be any changes, right?"

Ye Xiao took out his phone, looked at it, but said, "It's not Liang Junlei's call."

"Oh?" Jiang Miaoke was immediately a bit puzzled.

Ye Xiao said to Jiang Miaoke, "You stay here first, I'll step aside to take this call."

"So secretive, is there something shady?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao disdainfully.

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile but didn't explain. Instead, he walked about over ten meters away from Jiang Miaoke, stopped, and then answered the call.

"I thought you weren't going to answer my call."

As soon as the call connected, An Meihui's slightly resentful voice came through.

Ye Xiao laughed immediately.

"How could I not? I always answer Sister An's calls," Ye Xiao said very obediently.

"Sweet talker," An Meihui said.

Ye Xiao said, "Just average. Sister An probably misses me, right?"

"Who misses you? Don't flatter yourself. I'm calling for business," An Meihui immediately denied and said, "Do you have time now?"

Ye Xiao certainly knew why An Meihui was calling, it's just that he was now accompanying Jiang Miaoke and the others for some fun, and it seemed hard to get away.

Ye Xiao said, "I have a bit of matter here, so I might not have time now."

An Meihui frowned upon hearing Ye Xiao's words; this was the second invitation.

Moreover, Ye Xiao knew who was coming and what it was for, and this repeated refusal left An Meihui somewhat puzzled.

"Ye Xiao, at least meet him; it would be very beneficial for you," An Meihui said, "Besides, he needs your help now, which makes it easier to build rapport."

"Why must I build rapport with him?" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "He's not a beauty."

"This..." An Meihui was speechless hearing Ye Xiao's words and said, "Give me some face, will you? Plus, if you meet him, it will be more convenient in the future when you need certain herbs."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao thought it seemed to have some advantages and said, "How about this, it's two-oh-five now; I'll contact you at four."

"That's a promise," An Meihui said immediately.

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile and said, "Of course, I always keep my word."

As for Ye Xiao's so-called keeping his word, An Meihui wasn't convinced at all, but since Ye Xiao had said so, she naturally didn't say anything more.

"Alright, I'll wait for your call," An Meihui said.

"OK!" Ye Xiao hung up the call immediately.

Ye Xiao's eyes lifted slightly, looking at the azure sky, and he couldn't help but smile gently—Rothschild, Red Shield Trading Company, Martial Sect!

Just then, Li Siqi and Lan Lan had changed into their clothes, not overly dressed up, just in casual outfits.

"Ready?" Li Siqi looked at Ye Xiao walking over.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Quite energetic."

"What?" Li Siqi was a bit puzzled hearing Ye Xiao's sudden comment.

"Your outfits look quite energetic; just don't buy clothes too tight next time," Ye Xiao advised.

Li Siqi was stunned by Ye Xiao's words, evidently not understanding what he meant for a while. But just then, Jiang Miaoke walked over to Li Siqi and whispered a few words. Subsequently, Li Siqi looked at her chest.

Because the clothes weren't very loose, it made her chest seem a bit tight.

Li Siqi immediately understood what Ye Xiao meant earlier, but at that moment, Ye Xiao had already gotten into the driver's seat of Jiang Miaoke's Porsche.

"Scoundrel!" Li Siqi gritted through her teeth.

Standing next to them, Lan Lan gave a slight smile and looked over at Ye Xiao sitting in the car, her gaze a bit complex.

"Where to now?" Li Siqi asked Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke shook her head, "Waiting for the call, probably in about ten minutes, and it's already been five or six minutes, so it should be soon."

Just as Jiang Miaoke finished speaking, Ye Xiao's phone rang.

Ye Xiao picked up the phone and saw that the call was from an unknown number.

Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled, but he still answered the call.

"Who is this?" Ye Xiao asked.

"This is Feng Hai!" The person on the phone stated his name.

Ye Xiao was a bit surprised to hear "Feng Hai". After all, why would this guy call him?

"So it's Mr. Feng, hello. I wonder what brings you to call me out of the blue," Ye Xiao said with a chuckle.

Feng Hai was displeased hearing Ye Xiao's cheerful tone. As an enemy, Feng Hai wished Ye Xiao's daily life was distressing, but unfortunately, things didn't go his way.

"Looks like Brother Ye is quite happy," Feng Hai replied with an intentionally flat tone.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Of course I'm happy, I'm on a date with Coco. How could I not be happy? Anyone would be thrilled to date such a beautiful woman, right, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Hai, who had been relatively calm, turned grim upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

"Ye Xiao, you'll find out what happens when you get close to Coco," Feng Hai's voice grew icy.

"You didn't call just to threaten me, did you? You should know I'm not afraid of your threats, don't you think?" Ye Xiao continued to chuckle. "Of course, if Coco wants to date someone like you, I wouldn't stop her. Unfortunately for you, she's into a poor guy like me."

Feng Hai felt stifled inside, but he wasn't just anyone. While still angry, he suddenly started laughing.

"Ye Xiao, I didn't call today to engage in idle chat. I'm covering Liang Junlei's debt," Feng Hai said.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright then, I'll give you my account number to transfer the money."

"Sorry, my account hasn't been set up for online banking, so you'll have to come and fetch it yourself. Of course, if you're scared, you can just not come," Feng Hai taunted on purpose.

Ye Xiao said, "Well, I guess I have to go, otherwise you'd think I'm a coward."

Feng Hai sneered, "Come or not, it's up to you, but if you don't, I simply won't be able to give you the money."

"You set the time and place," Ye Xiao said.

"Lotus District. Call me when you get there, and I'll tell you where exactly, after all, it's a hundred billion Northern Federation Coins. We can't exactly just hand it over on the street," Feng Hai sneered.

"Alright!" Ye Xiao said.

"I'll be waiting for you!" Feng Hai said.

Ye Xiao said, "I will definitely come."

"Good, I'll wait for you!" Feng Hai's voice carried a hint of smugness at the end.

The call ended.

The smile on Ye Xiao's face grew broader.

"Ye Xiao, what's going on? Was it a call from Feng Hai?" Jiang Miaoke asked worriedly, looking at Ye Xiao. "Where is he planning to take you?"

Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "Lotus District."

"Lotus District? The Feng family isn't there," Li Siqi immediately said.

Jiang Miaoke also asked, "Feng Hai called you. What does he want? Doesn't want to give the money?"

Ye Xiao immediately laughed, "Why wouldn't he? He's more than happy to hand over a hundred billion Northern Federation Coins."

Jiang Miaoke was surprised and said, "What do you mean he's happy to give it? Does Feng Hai really want to pay up?"

"That's right."

"Huh?" Ye Xiao was taken aback by Jiang Miaoke's words and said, "Has he lost his mind? Why would he want to give you money?"

"He's not crazy, and he doesn't really plan to give me the money," Ye Xiao said.

Jiang Miaoke was even more puzzled after hearing this and said, "If he's not crazy and doesn't plan to give you the money, why invite you to Lotus District?"

At this moment, Lan Lan said, "Could it be that Feng Hai has something bad planned for Ye Xiao?"

Hearing Lan Lan's words, Jiang Miaoke immediately said, "Right, that's definitely it. Ye Xiao, you absolutely shouldn't go. It's definitely a trap."

Ye Xiao smiled nonchalantly, "But if I don't go, I'll lose out on those hundred billion Northern Federation Coins, so I have to go."

Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao very seriously and said, "Ye Xiao, you absolutely cannot go. You forgot? They've set up a group to deal with you. If you go now, they'll be waiting to target you today."

"What do you mean?" Li Siqi curiously asked, "How do you know Feng Hai has a group set up?"

Jiang Miaoke said, "Feng Hai has someone close to him feeding us information. He texted about it, but I didn't expect Feng Hai to act so quickly..."

Li Siqi immediately said, "An informant? Is that reliable?"

"Whether it's reliable or not, I don't know, but since Feng Hai insists you go, there must be a plot," Jiang Miaoke said.

Clearly, Jiang Miaoke wasn't wrong. This very well might be a trap, just waiting for Ye Xiao to fall into it.
