Martial Arts Master in the City

Su Yun gazed at the sky with a sigh, overwhelmed by what happened yesterday. Though she didn't witness it firsthand, just knowing that Huo Wensong's muscles and bones were shattered completely by Ye Xiao was enough to prove the immense anger within Ye Xiao's heart.

Su Yun could imagine this. To be enraged for the sake of a beloved woman, regardless of the type of man, none would be willing to let the woman they like be coveted by another, or nearly taken away.

Su Yun knew Ye Xiao's character—repaying every favor and grudge. If someone did him the slightest kindness, he'd return it generously, like an ocean. However, if someone crossed his bottom line, killing them would be no joke.

Yet, Ye Xiao didn't kill Huo Wensong. What did this mean? It meant Ye Xiao still left a way out for the Su family.

Actually, even if Ye Xiao had killed Huo Wensong yesterday with a single strike, it would have ended everything; nobody knew about Su Yun and Ye Xiao's relationship. Even Nanny Zhang was nowhere to be found now.

Ye Xiao understood Su Yun's mindset and didn't wish any matter to affect the Su family.

Though Ye Xiao's actions were dangerous, he managed to stop just enough. Yet, because of this, Su Yun worried even more for Ye Xiao, knowing that he had now offended the entire Linghuo Sect.

What kind of force was the Linghuo Sect? As a daughter of the Su family, she had heard of it, and as a Martial Artist, she couldn't possibly not know. It was a force second only to the top ten sects of Yan Country, with far more strength than ordinary people could imagine.

In the daytime today, Ye Xiao even said he was coming to the Su family.

What kind of place was the Su family? It was a subsidiary family of the Linghuo Sect, and who's to say there weren't any spies from the Linghuo Sect in the Su family? However, the day passed without hearing of anyone coming to the Su family.

At this moment, Su Yun felt both relieved and worried.

"Ye Xiao, where are you now? Are you... are you okay?" Su Yun was very distressed as she gazed at the sky.

Previously, Su Yun was always very worried about the entire Su family. As a daughter of the Su family, she fundamentally hoped nothing unexpected would happen to the Su family. But since yesterday, Su Yun started to feel some regret.

Especially when Su Hualin came today, Su Yun regretted it even more.

At the same time, Su Yun was deeply afraid!

Su Yun was completely terrified that because of her, if Ye Xiao couldn't safely leave the Northern Territory, what would she do?

"And you? Alone watching the stars, are you okay?"

This wasn't said by Su Yun.

Precisely because it wasn't said by Su Yun, she was really startled. She hadn't expected that apart from her, there would be other sounds in the villa. After all, she had already dismissed all the servants.

However, after the initial shock, Su Yun suddenly felt a rush of excitement because she unmistakably heard Ye Xiao's voice. Yes, it was Ye Xiao!

Su Yun immediately turned around.

At the door frame inside the room stood a man with a frivolous demeanor and a smile on his face, his clear eyes gazing at her.

"Ye... Ye Xiao!" Su Yun couldn't believe her eyes. She hadn't anticipated that this man would actually be Ye Xiao.

In fact, this person was none other than Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao truly could not wait any longer.

He was already staying in the Su Mansion but couldn't openly go to see Su Yun.

Of course, Ye Xiao could have ignored everything and come directly to Su Yun's villa, regardless of others' opinions. But in the end, Ye Xiao still chose not to come openly. It wasn't that he was afraid, but that he couldn't afford to.

Ye Xiao was very confident in his abilities. He believed that even if discovered by the enemy, he could still leave unscathed. However, he didn't want to do this.

He didn't want to make Su Yun sad, nor did he want Su Yun's family to perish.

Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun with a smile, equally filled with excitement. He had thought of many ways to meet Su Yun, but never imagined this one.

"Yunyun, are you well?" Ye Xiao said gently.

It was only then that Su Yun realized the person in front of her was indeed Ye Xiao. It wasn't an illusion but reality.

"Ye Xiao, is it really you?" Su Yun walked towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, smiling, looked at Su Yun and said, "It's me, of course, it's me. Yunyun, did you miss me?"

Su Yun came up to Ye Xiao, saying nothing, and simply embraced Ye Xiao, crying.

She cried silently.

Ye Xiao could feel it, which made his heart ache even more.

Ye Xiao said nothing more, simply holding Su Yun in his arms, quietly listening to her weeping.

After a full five minutes, Su Yun finally lifted her head, looking at Ye Xiao with tear-filled eyes.

"Why did you come?" Su Yun said to Ye Xiao, "Why didn't you leave Han City, leave the Northern Territory?"

"How could I bear to leave you?" Ye Xiao said.

One sentence!

A sentence that touched the heart!

Su Yun's tears flowed.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have harbored grudges against such a monstrosity like the Linghuo Sect." Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao, guilt-ridden.

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't say that, and besides, we'll still be neighbors in the future."

Su Yun, hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "Ye Xiao, do you live near the Su family?"

"No, I live inside the Su family!" Ye Xiao said.

Su Yun said, "How is that possible? Did my father agree to let you live in the Su family?"

"Yes," Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Your father finally changed his tune."

"Are you saying the Su family wants to break ties with the Linghuo Sect?" Su Yun asked in confusion.

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and said, "You could say that."

"Ah?" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? You know my grandfather is an elder of the Linghuo Sect. They absolutely can't betray the Linghuo Sect."

"Yes, they couldn't before, but now they will!"

Su Yun said, "This morning, my father said you told him you're with the government. Is that true?"

"Yes!"

"No wonder my father is willing to help you," Su Yun said. "But is this really the intention of your superiors?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Are you afraid I'll drag the Su family down?"

Su Yun immediately shook her head and said, "No, Ye Xiao, I'm afraid you're playing with fire, that you might burn yourself. The strength of the Linghuo Sect is far greater than you imagine."

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile and said, "Perhaps. But, whether it is or isn't, I won't change my mind."

Su Yun stopped speaking, lowering her head.

Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun, and seeing her worried expression, Weiwei felt heartache. He reached out to pull Su Yun into his embrace, saying, "Rest assured, I will be fine, the Su family will be fine, and everyone will be fine."
