Martial Arts Master in the City

"Could they be trying to ensure that Martial Artists have no worries?" Ye Xiao thought to himself, somewhat surprised, "This is probably to attract Martial Artists as much as possible."

"But why choose the safest place? For Yan Country, the safest place would be dangerous for foreigners, wouldn't it?" Xie Jiantao said, "I really can't understand this point."

Yeah, given they want to destroy the Martial Arts World of Yan Country, why place the competition in the safest area of Central Chu?

Suddenly, Ye Xiao understood, finally understood.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily.

Seeing Ye Xiao suddenly laugh, Xie Jiantao found it strange. Clearly, he didn't know what Ye Xiao was laughing about or what was funny.

Seeing Xie Jiantao's confusion, Ye Xiao said, "This force is definitely strong, and I think among the Martial Artists heading to Chu City, there must be their insiders, working from the inside and the outside."

Still confused, Xie Jiantao didn't want to understand anymore because he just wanted to live well now. If he could continue living peacefully, even a bit poorer would be acceptable.

"Could you help me leave the Northern Territory?" Xie Jiantao expressed his thoughts.

"You want to leave the Northern Territory?" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Your business is all there, isn't it a pity to leave now?"

"I've thought it through during this time. Compared to life, money is insignificant. If you could help me, I could give you Dragon Flag and most of my assets. Of course, if you could get me out of the country, even better, I could change my name!" Xie Jiantao looked at Ye Xiao sincerely.

Ye Xiao said, "Mr. Xie, you're overthinking it. Our Yan Country is vast and rich, so there's no need to leave. Also, if you leave the country, wouldn't you be afraid of encountering their main forces? At that time, who could save you? I can get you out, but the place I can send you is still Chu City."

"What?" Upon hearing, Xie Jiantao said, "How can that work, Mr. Ye, you promised to protect me."

After speaking, Xie Jiantao felt a bit powerless. He had known Ye Xiao for less than an hour yet placed all hope on Ye Xiao. Obviously, for the always savvy Xie Jiantao, this felt unreliable.

Yet, Xie Jiantao was truly helpless now. Imagine, Xie Jiantao was like a drowning person who was desperate, and upon seeing a straw, this once desperate heart reignited a yearning for life.

Thus, Ye Xiao became his only hope, his saving straw.

Ye Xiao smiled, picked up the brewed Iron Goddess from the tea table, gently blew on it, though it was still steaming, sipped and looked at Xie Jiantao saying, "Mr. Xie, how's this Iron Goddess?"

Xie Jiantao never expected Ye Xiao to suddenly say such a thing. Looking at the tea, if it were before, he could comment eloquently, but now Xie Jiantao couldn't say anything, as he had no mood at all.

"Mr. Ye, you wouldn't be fooling me, would you?" Xie Jiantao looked at Ye Xiao, despite saying this, his expression was filled with helplessness.

Indeed, even if Ye Xiao deceived him, he still felt helpless.

Watching the anxious Xie Jiantao, Ye Xiao said, "Mr. Xie indeed seems quite anxious. Don't worry, I've already told you, the place I can send you is Chu City. Naturally, since I send you to Chu City, I'll be responsible for your safety. I have no interest in your assets, so you better keep them. As for Dragon Flag, I'm interested, but only out of curiosity. So, if I could look at it, that would be enough. I don't believe in nonsense that holding Dragon Flag would allow commanding the world."

"So, what exactly do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Xie Jiantao looked at Ye Xiao, he really couldn't figure out Ye Xiao's intentions. After all, if Ye Xiao wanted Dragon Flag, he could devise a perfect plan and trick him, but Ye Xiao didn't do that.

Ye Xiao put down the teacup, knowing that right now, Xie Jiantao didn't fully trust him. So, he smiled and took out a small red booklet from his clothes.

For those who don't know, just one glance might think it was some sort of technician certificate.

Ye Xiao placed the red booklet on the coffee table, saying, "You can take a look first!"

Xie Jiantao didn't know what it was, but seeing it had Yan Country written on it, a bit strange but curious, he picked up the booklet and slowly opened it!

After less than ten seconds, Xie Jiantao looked up at Ye Xiao in surprise, saying, "You're with the government?"

"We're all with the government, but I protect the country," Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Now, do you trust me?"

Of course, Xie Jiantao wanted to tell the government, after all, the conspiracy surrounding the Dragon Flag competition affected the country.

So, Xie Jiantao had told a deputy mayor about it.

The deputy mayor was like a fool, even said Xie Jiantao hadn't woken up.

In this society, people aware of Martial Artists are few. It's even more difficult for a city-level leader to know about Martial Artist matters.

Xie Jiantao said, "I believe you!"

Now, Xie Jiantao felt Ye Xiao must be with the government, and meeting government people was what he hoped for most because he believed only the government could save him.

Ye Xiao said, "If you trust me, follow my plan. I can promise you won't die, and the future will be even better. As the ancients say, when heaven assigns a great task to someone, it first tests their spirit and muscles, so such is life. Suffering precedes sweetness. You can take the present as life's test for you, the future is always bright, at least starting from New Year's Day, your life will improve."

Xie Jiantao finally saw the light. Before, he didn't know when these days of hiding would end. Hearing Ye Xiao's words now, he finally felt he was seeing the dawn, at least having a target date, that's very good.
