Martial Arts Master in the City

"Alright, I want to see how Ouyang Hua explains this to me." Although Dongfang Qiming understood that Ye Xiao might have been acting in self-defense, he was still someone of status, whereas Ye Xiao was just a member of the Flame Dragon Team. So he had to give himself a way out.

So, Dongfang Qiming directly hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao, however, seemed indifferent and casually handed the phone to Chu Dai beside him.

"Your boss has quite a temper!" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Chu Dai.

At this moment, Chu Dai and everyone else except Zuo Fei were stunned by Ye Xiao's words. Does this guy have a screw loose? To actually dare tell Dongfang Qiming that he killed Liuyue, it meant that Ye Xiao would be in big trouble. No matter what, Liuyue was dead now, and the murderer was indeed Ye Xiao.

Even if there was some misunderstanding, this issue had to be addressed after being arrested.

Moreover, so far, there had basically been no one who killed someone from the same team and remained unscathed.

In fact, up to now, people who usually turned against their own team members were never caught at all.

Members of the Flame Dragon Team, randomly picked, were not ordinary people, with many tactics at their disposal. If they had the ability to kill, they naturally had the ability to deal with the aftermath.

But Ye Xiao, on the other hand, even though Zuo Fei had already said they could avoid mentioning Liuyue's death for now, Ye Xiao went and confessed himself.

Zuo Fei and Ouyang Hua didn't know what to say either and soon hung up the call as well.

Zuo Fei actually heard the conversation between Ye Xiao and Dongfang Qiming just now. Although he didn't show any surprise on his face, internally, he was greatly astonished.

"You confessed to our boss?" Zuo Fei walked up to Ye Xiao and handed him the phone.

Ye Xiao shrugged, smiled, and said, "Yes."

"You're still a rookie." Zuo Fei looked at Ye Xiao, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and said, "If you can find the secret that compelled Liuyue to kill you, you might still have a chance."

"Haha, listening to you, it seems like you want to help me?" Ye Xiao looked at Zuo Fei with a smile and said, "Have you started considering me a friend?"

"We all serve Yan Country, so we should be friends. I just don't want to become enemies with someone who is loyal to Yan Country." Zuo Fei looked at Ye Xiao, appearing very serious at this moment. Clearly, he wasn't joking or trying to get close to Ye Xiao, but was just stating something that a Flame Dragon Team member should say.

Ye Xiao suddenly couldn't help but smile.

Since joining the Flame Dragon Team, this was the first person who made him feel the true value of the team. Even in Ouyang Hua, what Ye Xiao saw was mostly desire for gain, but in Zuo Fei, Ye Xiao saw only an indomitable spirit.

Ye Xiao said, "I am a Yan Country person."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Fei was first taken aback, then said, "We need to take Liuyue's body away."

"Alright!" Ye Xiao said.

"Also, thank you for not acting against your comrades." Zuo Fei said to Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Zuo Fei's words, Ye Xiao turned his gaze to Tan Luo. At this moment, Tan Luo was also looking at Ye Xiao.

When Tan Luo looked at Ye Xiao now, there was no longer that arrogant demeanor. Instead, there was admiration, the kind shown towards a master.

"Save your fists for the enemies." Ye Xiao said calmly to Tan Luo.

Tan Luo looked at Ye Xiao but did not speak.

Then, Zuo Fei and the other five prepared to leave!

"Wait a minute!" Ye Xiao suddenly said.

Zuo Fei and the others immediately looked at Ye Xiao.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Dai looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Do any of your teammates happen to be women? I mean, those who came here today."

"Just the six of us!" Chu Dai said.

"Oh!" Ye Xiao said, "Alright, you guys can go ahead."

Zuo Fei, Chu Dai, and the others found Ye Xiao's words somewhat strange, but since they weren't too familiar with him, they didn't say much and left directly, taking Liuyue's body with them.

At this moment, everyone else had left, and only Ye Xiao remained in the entire warehouse.

Ye Xiao walked casually to where Feng Hai had died, his mind involuntarily thinking.

Who exactly was that person? To be able to take Feng Hai's body from here, was this person a friend or foe? Why would they do this? Or, is this person from the Feng family?

Ye Xiao thought quickly, but after a long while, he couldn't figure anything out.

Ye Xiao believed that he would definitely meet this person, or rather, this person would come to him.

Afterward, Ye Xiao left Lotus Driving School, holding an umbrella.

At this moment, it was already close to ten o'clock. Since Lotus Driving School was located in the wilderness, it was quite eerie. Plus, there were no lights around, so it was pitch black. Fortunately, Ye Xiao's vision was good enough for him to walk normally.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao's phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it; the screen displayed "Ouyang Hua."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and then answered the call directly.

"Ye Xiao, what's going on with you?" Ouyang Hua's voice immediately came from the phone, sounding like Ye Xiao owed him two pounds of soybeans.

"What now?" Although Ye Xiao knew why Ouyang Hua was calling, he pretended to be oblivious.

"You don't know what's going on?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's feigned ignorance, Ouyang Hua immediately said, "Tell me, did you kill Dongfang Qiming's subordinate?"

"You're talking about Liuyue? Yeah, I killed him," Ye Xiao replied casually.

"What?" When Ouyang Hua heard Ye Xiao's words, it was as if Ye Xiao hadn't killed a member of the Flame Dragon Team but a wild chicken on the roadside; he immediately burst with anger, "Are you out of your mind? I can cover you for killing someone, but don't you realize you killed someone from the Flame Dragon Team? That's internal conflict, don't you know?"

"Internal conflict?" Ye Xiao laughed upon hearing this. "It was self-defense. If someone uses a Forbidden Curse Martial Skill on you, you'd fight to the death, too, wouldn't you?"

"Forbidden Curse Martial Skill?" Ouyang Hua was intrigued by Ye Xiao's mention of the Forbidden Curse and asked, "What Forbidden Curse Martial Skill?"

"As far as I know, the first rule among the three taboos of the Flame Dragon Team is: anyone hiding a Forbidden Curse Martial Skill deserves to die. Am I wrong?" Ye Xiao said.

"That's correct," Ouyang Hua agreed.

"So, it has nothing to do with me." Ye Xiao stated.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xiao explained, "Firstly, without considering self-defense, Liuyue was already guilty of a capital offense. He knew Forbidden Curse Martial Skills, meaning he hid them."

Ouyang Hua said seriously, "He truly knew Forbidden Curse Martial Skills?"

"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to kill him. If he didn't, he wouldn't have been a threat to me," Ye Xiao responded with a smile.

Ouyang Hua replied, "I can't believe he actually knew Forbidden Curse Martial Skills. What a surprise. Fine, since he's dead, he's dead. Ye Xiao, as your team leader, I can cover for you. But can you not be so reckless next time? It was Dongfang Qiming, after all. I might not care about him, but you should. Also, if you kill someone, you can tell me, but don't tell others. Do you realize how passive that makes me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao understood that Ouyang Hua wasn't blaming him.

"I get it. I'll be more restrained from now on. Will that do? But there's something I need you to be honest with me about," Ye Xiao said to Ouyang Hua.

Ouyang Hua replied, "Go on, what is it?"

"Do you know something about Liuyue?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ouyang Hua remained silent for five seconds.

However, those five seconds already gave Ye Xiao an answer.

"A month ago, I received intel that Liuyue had cooperative relations with the Beihai Country Sang Group," Ouyang Hua said.

"So, you mean Liuyue betrayed the Flame Dragon Team?" Ye Xiao asked.

"There's no definitive evidence yet. We originally intended to gather evidence on him, but perhaps Liuyue knew you were from Team Z and that you destroyed the Mountain Wolf Team's base in Minghai City. That's why he wanted to eliminate you. After all, your presence in Bird City was a threat to him," Ouyang Hua explained.

"Seems like the guilty are always apprehensive. Honestly, I wasn't planning to get involved in too much," Ye Xiao said.

"Ye Xiao, always remember, you are a part of the Flame Dragon Team," Ouyang Hua asserted.

"Don't give me that excuse. What benefits have I even gained since joining the Flame Dragon Team? I warn you, don't push me, or I'll do something you won't be pleased with," Ye Xiao retorted.

Ouyang Hua had no means to deal with Ye Xiao. Unlike others who passed numerous tests, Ye Xiao was recruited directly by Ouyang Hua.

However, Ouyang Hua still believed in his judgment.

"But you're a Yan Country person, and you should do whatever is within your capability for Yan Country," Ouyang Hua said.

"Nonsense!" Ye Xiao was furious, "Is this what you call 'within my capability'? You know Liuyue's abilities, plus he knew Forbidden Curse Martial Skills. Did you know I almost died? I'm telling you, the next time something happens, tell me in advance. Otherwise, if I die, I won't even know how I died. And don't tell me I have to sacrifice everything just because I'm from Yan Country. It's nonsense."

"Enough already. I'm still your superior," Ouyang Hua, listening to Ye Xiao's venting, was not angry but smiled, "You say the Flame Dragon Team's identity isn't beneficial to you, but you should know if it weren't for that status, your subordinates wreaking havoc in Bird City's Jinling District could have gotten the Guard Bureau to sweep them out."
