Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 7

What Zhan Bo said was spot on—Minghai Academy was indeed very large, and the beauties of Minghai Academy were truly numerous. Although not every one of them was a peerless beauty like Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Su Yun, they could at least be considered "small jades of the family," and if Ye Xiao hadn't already been out and about, he would definitely have been bewildered by the atmosphere of Minghai!

Of course, Ye Xiao was also someone with strong self-control.

"Our school has seven Campus Belles, and I've already told you about the top three. They are the objects of affection for all the males in the entire school, but honestly, there probably aren't many people in the whole school who have the capability to truly win them over. It's said that, whether it's Ling Shuya or Zhou Yuyan or Teacher Su Yun, their family backgrounds are all very strong. What exactly those backgrounds are, nobody really knows. So, compared to them, the only person we can even think about is Lin Dieying, the 'Commoner Campus Belle' of the school!"

"Commoner Campus Belle? What's that supposed to mean?" Ye Xiao asked while eating, looking at Zhan Bo inquisitively.

Zhan Bo explained like a master, "The term 'Commoner Campus Belle' naturally refers to someone without a family background, born to ordinary folks. It's said that both of Lin Dieying's parents are laid-off workers. Lin Dieying really shouldn't have been able to attend Minghai Academy, but not only is she beautiful like a painting, she's also very smart. She was even the top female scorer on last year's exam, ranked within the top three in the province! In my opinion, Lin Dieying's strength should qualify her for a top three position among the Campus Belles, but maybe due to her family background, she's been ranked fourth. However, despite being fourth, she's actually the Campus Belle chased by the most men in the entire school!"

It wasn't surprising that Lin Dieying was the most pursued Campus Belle. Not to mention Teacher Su Yun, just take Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan for example—although Ye Xiao didn't know Zhou Yuyan's family background, the noble air that Zhou Yuyan naturally exuded was something that couldn't be faked. So, Ye Xiao was certain that Zhou Yuyan, like Ling Shuya, must also be a young lady from a wealthy family. Such young ladies, due to their upbringing, often had a certain degree of willfulness and aloofness, making it difficult for anyone to get close to them. Meanwhile, Lin Dieying, being the 'Commoner Campus Belle', was much more approachable, and the pressure on her suitors wasn't as great.

Ye Xiao chuckled, then suddenly asked Zhan Bo, "Who is Han Fei?"

Zhan Bo, who had been enthusiastically speaking, fell silent upon hearing Ye Xiao suddenly bring up Han Fei and looked at Ye Xiao, asking, "Why do you ask about him?"

"Just curious," he answered casually.

Zhan Bo said, "Ye Xiao, we've been chatting for a while now, and I think you can see we're both straightforward. Let me just tell you this—about Han Fei, it's better if you ask less. Moreover, if you continue to sit in the seat Teacher Su Yun assigned to you, I'm afraid it might bring you trouble."

"You mean Han Fei? He has a lot of power?" Ye Xiao continued with a calm smile.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhan Bo burst out laughing and said, "Han Fei's influence is definitely not small. Just the fact that his dad is the top dog at the police station—would you dare to mess with him? Ah, I really want to change my seat now; I truly don't want to be too close to Han Fei's seat!"

Zhan Bo's face grew more troubled as he spoke.

Ye Xiao, being clever, quickly understood Zhan Bo's implication and chuckled, "From what you're saying, it sounds like Han Fei is quite domineering."

Zhan Bo glanced around, then said, "Let me tell you this—Minghai Academy has seven Campus Belles, but there's also another title: the 'Seven Overlords of Minghai', and Han Fei is one of them. Can't you infer something from what I'm telling you now?"

Ye Xiao smiled and asked, "What's the relationship between Ling Shuya and Han Fei?"

"They have no relationship, but Han Fei has been relentless in his pursuit of Ling Shuya. However, for some reason, with Han Fei's family background, he doesn't dare to pressure Ling Shuya in the slightest. Of course, Han Fei has also said that if anyone in Minghai Academy dares to harbor improper thoughts about Ling Shuya, he would wipe them out," said Zhan Bo, clearly still frightened by the thought.

Ye Xiao asked, "Has he actually wiped anyone out?"

Zhan Bo responded, "Once, there was this nerdy guy with great academic results, probably got dumb from studying too much, and he boldly went to confess his feelings to Ling Shuya. The result was that Han Fei beat him into a severe disability right there and then, and since then, no one has dared to even think about expressing their feelings to Ling Shuya. Ah, Ye Xiao, why are you asking about all this?"

Ye Xiao laughed and commented, "Nothing much, just asking casually. The food here at school is really not bad, almost compares with what they serve in restaurants outside!"

Zhan Bo said proudly, "That's right! Minghai Academy is a place for nurturing talent, so of course, we give the best to those with talent!"

The two of them continued to chat about other things, though it was all idle talk. To avoid arousing Zhan Bo's suspicions, Ye Xiao didn't continue to press on about Han Fei. But even with that brief conversation, Ye Xiao understood that Han Fei was someone not to be trifled with. It looked like he needed to think about how to handle the situation because if he didn't teach Han Fei a lesson, he could end up being expelled by Ling Shuya using this as a pretext, which would be an utter injustice. Of course, being expelled wasn't something to regret; Ye Xiao wasn't relying on this money to get married, but then he might never find out who his biological parents were!

Minghai Academy was a semi-closed school, with student dormitories available for those who wanted to stay on-campus, as well as the option to go home. Those living in the dormitories could return there to rest at noon, while those without a room could only head to their classrooms. Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo were both among those without a dormitory, so they headed straight back to the classroom after eating!

Just as Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo were arriving at the classroom door, they heard someone seemingly talking to Ling Shuya:

"Shuya, I truly hope you can become my girlfriend. Please, just give me a chance!"

"Fei, just leave me alone and get lost!" Those were the words of Ling Shuya!

Ye Xiao stood at the door and heard everything clearly, which couldn't help but make him feel frustrated. Ling Shuya was so domineering; did she still need a bodyguard?

As Ling Shuya's bodyguard, the time to protect his employer had finally come, so Ye Xiao decided to take a few steps into the classroom!

"Ye Xiao, come quick, someone is bullying Shuya!" Zhou Yuyan, who was sitting next to Ling Shuya and happily playing with a tablet, apparently noticed Ye Xiao without even lifting her head and called out loudly!

At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ye Xiao, who had just entered the room.

"Damn it, kid, you dare to come into our class. Seems like it really is true: No need to break a sweat to find what comes easily. Little Jian, Zhao Chi, grab him for me!" The boy standing next to Han Fei shouted loudly.

At this time, Ye Xiao also noticed the teenager standing next to Han Fei. He seemed very serious, and on second thought, wasn't this the same boy he had encountered in the office building, among the few who wanted to trouble him, when he first arrived? What was he doing here?

Liuu Xinlei was extremely annoyed that Ye Xiao had escaped from their hands within an hour. But now that Ye Xiao had reappeared, if he didn't put Ye Xiao down, where would Liuu Xinlei's face go?

Zhang Xiaojian, Zhao Chi, and two other boys he hadn't seen before immediately started walking towards Ye Xiao!

A faint smile was on Ye Xiao's face, a smile that was filled with contempt for the posturing young men in front of him!

Ye Xiao was ready to teach Han Fei a lesson, and at the same time, to take the others down a notch as well!

However, just as he was about to act, Zhan Bo standing next to him immediately stepped forward, laughing with a smirk at Han Fei, "Hehe, Brother Fei, Ye Xiao seems to be a new student who doesn't know any better, offending Brother Fei and Brother Lei. I'll apologize on his behalf!"

"Apologize?" Han Fei gave a cold laugh, but before he could finish speaking, he slapped Zhan Bo across the face. Instantly, Zhan Bo's nose started bleeding—it was clear that the slap was not light!

However, after that slap, Han Fei didn't stop there; he followed up with a kick towards Zhan Bo!

But as the leg swung out, it stopped mid-air. Everyone was startled because normally, Zhan Bo would have been kicked yet another time, and it seemed like it was going to be a heavy one!

At this moment, Han Fei froze, as if his foot was supposed to naturally connect with Zhan Bo, but it just stopped abruptly!

Han Fei slowly looked up, only to see a sunny and handsome smiling face. The owner of that smile was holding onto his leg with one hand.

"Who gave you the permission to bully my friend!" After saying this, Ye Xiao suddenly flipped Han Fei to the ground with a swift motion, and not only did Han Fei fall, but he also fell in a very embarrassing way!

With Han Fei on the ground, everyone was stunned, including Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan who were hoping for a spectacle. They were both quite surprised, as none of them expected that Ye Xiao would actually take action without any sign!

Ye Xiao looked at Zhan Bo and said, "Zhan Bo, are you alright?"

Zhan Bo didn't speak, but shook his head.

Ye Xiao then looked at Han Fei, who was being helped up by Liuu Xinlei and his men. All of them were fuming with anger, especially Han Fei, who was the most astonished at the moment. Since he had come of age, Han Fei had always bullied others and had never been bullied himself. But now, in front of Ling Shuya, this new student had flipped Han Fei to the ground—an unprecedented event!

"Damn, you dare to hit me! I don't think you want to exist anymore. Come on, I'll make sure you're crippled today!" Han Fei shouted angrily!

Following Han Fei's order, Liuu Xinlei charged at Ye Xiao first, throwing punches, but Ye Xiao easily swiped him aside!

Zhang Xiaojian, Zhao Chi, and the others also reached out, but Ye Xiao quickly targeted various parts of their bodies, instantly eliciting cries of pain. Ye Xiao then looked at Han Fei and pointing at Zhan Bo said, "Apologize to him!"

What?

The entire room was shocked again; this was the first time anyone had dared to ask Han Fei to apologize to someone. Even Han Fei felt like he had encountered a madman at this moment. Dressed like a laborer, how could he be so formidable? Who in the world was he?
