Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1284: A Hot Potato



"I'll listen to you!" Xie Jiantao looked at Ye Xiao and said seriously.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your trust. For the next couple of days, you can rest here."

"Okay!" Xie Jiantao quickly replied.

Ye Xiao was also very surprised at the moment and found it amusing. He really didn't expect that on his first day in the Northern Territory, he would encounter the owner of the Dragon Flag and learn such a big secret.

Obviously, he could expose those people's conspiracy right now. However, after a moment's thought, he gave up on the idea because he really didn't know who exactly that force was or what their purpose was. If he rashly exposed it, he might be considered a fool.

After all, who would believe it?

"Mr. Ye!" At this moment, Xie Jiantao looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Xie Jiantao said, "Should I take the Dragon Flag with me? Can I give the Dragon Flag to you?"

Xie Jiantao wasn't stupid. He knew that even though the Dragon Flag was safe in his hands, he also knew it was like a time bomb. A small mistake could blow him to pieces. He didn't want to die; he just wanted to live well.

How could Ye Xiao not understand Xie Jiantao's thoughts? After thinking for a moment, he said, "Most people know that the Dragon Flag is in the hands of an ordinary person, and I think a good number of them know the Dragon Flag is in your hands, Xie Jiantao. So, whether the Dragon Flag is in your hands or not, it is considered to be in your hands."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xie Jiantao originally wanted to hand this hot potato to Ye Xiao but felt somewhat helpless at this moment because he understood this was like a normal male undergoing a secret sex change operation. People who haven't seen him would still think he is male.

And the fact that the Dragon Flag is in Xie Jiantao's hands has spread for a long time. Even if the Dragon Flag is handed over to Ye Xiao, others would still believe it is in Xie Jiantao's hands. No one would doubt this.

As for that force now having lost Xie Jiantao, it doesn't mean that their evil plan won't be implemented. After all, they could completely say Xie Jiantao is now with them, just like those media outlets, fabricating stories at their will without consequences!

"Mr. Ye, do you mean that I should take the Dragon Flag directly to Chu City?" Xie Jiantao asked.

Ye Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "That seems to be the best way, right?"

Xie Jiantao asked, "Won't the Northern Territory be in chaos due to the disappearance of the Dragon Flag?"

"You're overthinking it. Does anyone know you're leaving with the Dragon Flag? The reason why so many martial artists are in the Northern Territory is that they know the Dragon Flag holder, you, are here. The more martial artists there are in the Northern Territory, the more likely they'll assume you're here, while you're actually in Chu City. Doesn't that protect you better?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiantao felt that Ye Xiao made a lot of sense and quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I rely on you for everything."

Ye Xiao didn't respond directly but said, "I'll get you a room soon. Of course, I will also send you away from here as quickly as possible."

"Yes! Yes!" Xie Jiantao hurriedly said.

Later, Ye Xiao called Wangg Yin in, asked him to arrange another room, and suggested Xie Jiantao get some rest.

Originally, Xie Jiantao mentioned getting the Dragon Flag, but Ye Xiao said there was no rush. Since Xie Jiantao had drunk before, he should rest first.

Xie Jiantao found Ye Xiao more peculiar. If it were someone else knowing he was the holder of the Dragon Flag, they would eagerly seize it, but Ye Xiao showed no interest, just a tiny hint of curiosity.

Ye Xiao's attitude left Xie Jiantao speechless, concluding that perhaps it was because Ye Xiao was a government official.

Xie Jiantao went to his room, directly opposite Ye Xiao's room.

"Brother Xiao, should I stay in the same room with Xie Jiantao?" Wangg Yin looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

Ye Xiao leaned on the sofa, grinning, "Why would you want to room with him?"

Wangg Yin said, "Since Xie Jiantao is the owner of the Dragon Flag, who knows what he might do? What if he runs away?"

"If you were him, would you run?" Ye Xiao laughed softly, looking at Wangg Yin, and said, "Right now, anywhere else would be dangerous for him. At least in his mind, staying with me gives him a moment of safety. Do you think he would leave?"

Hearing this, Wangg Yin reckoned Ye Xiao made sense.

Ye Xiao then smiled, saying, "No one knows about Xie Jiantao's presence here, but that doesn't mean no one will ever find out. So, for these two days, avoid going out and investigating until we send Xie Jiantao away!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Wangg Yin nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiao wasn't sure what big events might occur on the Night of the Fire Festival across Yan Country, but he was sure that controlling Xie Jiantao and the Dragon Flag meant indirectly controlling the situation. However, one tricky aspect for Ye Xiao was the lack of knowledge about the mysterious force. Their representative in the Northern Territory was from the Southern Federation, but the Southern Federation had many influences. Who could it be? Also, was that force really from the Southern Federation?

Just like the Rothschild family, their representative in Chu City is An Meihui. Does that mean Rothschild is from the Sina Continent? Clearly, it's unscientific.

After Wangg Yin left the room, Ye Xiao sat back on the sofa and made a phone call to the Jiang Family.

Very quickly, the call was connected!

"Hello, this is the Jiang Family Manor!" the person on the other end said.

"This is Ye Xiao. I need to speak to Mr. Jiang!" Ye Xiao said.

The person on the phone was clearly startled, but someone able to say those words directly and mention Ye Xiao's name was obviously not ordinary.

Not long after, Jiang Wulu's voice came through the phone. Although the call was initially directed to Jiang Wuqi, upon hearing it was Ye Xiao, and knowing Ye Xiao was in the Northern Territory, he assumed the call was mostly for his elder brother and directly transferred it to Jiang Wulu.

"Ye Xiao, are you getting used to the weather in the Northern Territory?" Jiang Wulu said to Ye Xiao with a smile.
