Martial Arts Master in the City

Ye Xiao washed a whole plastic bag of red dates until they were clean, placed them on a fruit platter, and then with one hand holding the platter and the other holding a large red date, he laughed heartily and said, "These are quite sweet, where did you buy them? The seller must have been a beautiful young lady."

"What kind of logic is that?" Fang Jing, sitting on the sofa, said with a puzzled expression.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Only a beautiful young lady could sell such sweet red dates, like the luscious little cherries!"

Listening to Ye Xiao's nonsensical talk, Fang Jing's face turned instantly red as she glared at him and said, "Can you be serious for once?"

"Is there a need? You are all my future wives. Do I really need to pretend to be pure in front of my wives?" Ye Xiao laughed cheekily, "Ming Yue, wife, isn't that right?"

At this moment, Xia Mingyue walked out from the bedroom, clearly having changed into a set of comfortable home silk pajamas. After all, she was wearing professional attire before, which is quite uncomfortable to wear at home.

"Who's your wife, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and then said.

"Hehe, have you ever thought about becoming a couple with your own teacher?" Ye Xiao suddenly said with a grin.

Xia Mingyue immediately responded, "Ye Xiao, what are you talking about? Stop spouting nonsense."

"Where am I spouting nonsense? Right now, I'm your teacher, so what do you think? Want to learn?" Ye Xiao laughed, "I'll give you a choice, either call me 'teacher' or 'husband', make your choice."

"Ye Xiao, don't go too far!" Xia Mingyue immediately glared at him.

Ye Xiao plopped down on the sofa, took a bite of the red date and said, "You guys are going to learn the Martial Arts Secret Manual from me, so you should at least show some gesture."

"You..." Xia Mingyue glared at Ye Xiao.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao wore a smug look, feeling pretty full of himself.

Right now, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing genuinely wanted to cultivate martial arts, but, unfortunately, the key to practicing martial arts lay in Ye Xiao's hands.

Compromise or not?

The two were genuinely at a loss.

"Let's discuss this!" At that moment, Fang Jing, who was sitting on the sofa, picked up a red date and came beside Xia Mingyue, talking to Ye Xiao before pulling Xia Mingyue into the bedroom.

Ye Xiao didn't mind; after all, if he didn't take advantage of the situation now, it wouldn't be his style. At this moment, Ye Xiao was eagerly anticipating how the two would address him when they returned.

Husband?

That would be the best, then they must always be ready for the husband's favor.

Teacher?

That wouldn't be so bad either; it'd indirectly prove the legitimacy of Ye Xiao's claim of a teacher-student romance.

Ye Xiao leisurely ate the red date in his hand, feeling more pleased the more he looked at it. As for the time getting late and starting to feel a bit sleepy, those were minor issues. He was really looking forward to it now.

But just at that moment, his phone untimely rang.

Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled. Who could be calling at this time?

Upon looking at the display, the name was Li Sitong!

Ye Xiao felt a bit peculiar. At this hour, a call from Li Sitong didn't seem to make sense, but when a beauty calls, how can one not answer?

Picking up the call, Ye Xiao lazily said, "Who is this, disturbing my good dreams so late, isn't that annoying?"

The voice on the other end, Li Sitong, hearing Ye Xiao sound as if he was sleeping, said, "Are you asleep? Sorry to disturb you."

This girl was quite polite.

Ye Xiao smiled and then, with a normal voice, said, "Go ahead, say what you need, even if a beauty calls during sleep time, sleep can't continue."

"I need a little help!" Li Sitong seemed a bit hesitant.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "This doesn't seem like the style of Li Sitong, just say what's on your mind as long as it's not borrowing money, I can promise anything."

Of course, Ye Xiao was joking; he didn't really think Li Sitong would borrow money.

"I... um, it's about borrowing money." Li Sitong, after hearing Ye Xiao's words, seemed more hesitant, but eventually said it out.

When Ye Xiao heard this, he was a bit surprised. Li Sitong was not poor, so borrowing money seemed strange.

"You're joking, right?" Ye Xiao said with a laugh, "Really borrowing money?"

"Lend or not." Li Sitong cleared her throat and then said.

Ye Xiao said, "Lend, of course, tomorrow I'll find you, after all, we work in the same building."

Hearing this, Li Sitong immediately said, "I need it now."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled. Borrowing money so late? And in such a hurry.

"If... if it's inconvenient, never mind." Li Sitong said.

"What's going on?" Ye Xiao keenly sensed that this wasn't an ordinary borrowing request; something must be up.

Li Sitong hesitated a bit and said, "I'm at Sky Building, if possible, please come quickly."

"Sky Building?" Ye Xiao asked, "Which district?"

"Jinling District."

"Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible!" Ye Xiao said.

The call ended!

At that moment, Ye Xiao held the phone, pondering why he forgot to ask what Sky Building was.

It was then that Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing came over.

"Are you leaving?" Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao.

"Well..." Ye Xiao was at a bit of a loss for explanation. They had just agreed that he would teach them, and now leaving seemed a bit...

"Stop hesitating." Xia Mingyue nonchalantly said, "If you want to go, just go, who knows which beauty might be waiting for you."

Then, Fang Jing said, "I just heard you say Sky Building?"

"Yes, do you know this place?" Ye Xiao immediately looked at Fang Jing, after all, if he was going, he should know what Sky Building is first.

Fang Jing said, "It's a well-known KTV in Jinling District, quite large. Who called you?"

"Li Sitong, Li Siqi's cousin, asking to borrow money!"

"Borrow money?" Xia Mingyue immediately quipped, "Li Siqi should have plenty of money, are you two that close? Doesn't feel like it's your turn for borrowing."

"I thought the same, but she did mention it, and it seems urgent." Ye Xiao said.

KTV! Urgent!

Those two phrases combined certainly don't hint at anything good.

At this, Xia Mingyue went to her bag, took out her car key, and tossed it to Ye Xiao, saying, "Next time when we practice martial arts, don't make things difficult for us."
