Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 9

Han Fei was truly distressed at this moment. Others ping-ponging remarks back and forth, yet allowing him, the bully of the class, to fall to the ground and be stepped on, was unacceptable. What was even more intolerable was that the person stepping on him was acting so arrogantly, much more than he used to be when he beat up others!

Han Fei was a petty person at heart, so he decided he must return today's humiliation double some other day, and he too wanted to step on Ye Xiao to let him know how unpleasant it is to be stepped on!

However, Han Fei now had to face two choices: to give up on Ling Shuya or to persist in pursuing Ling Shuya!

Very few people in the school knew Ling Shuya's background, but Han Fei was one of those who did, which was why he pursued Ling Shuya so fervently!

"What? Still hesitating? Don't tell me Ling Shuya is more important to you than your own life?" Ye Xiao once again pressed the dagger against Han Fei's throat!

The shadow of death loomed again, and Han Fei's body trembled. After all, Han Fei was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old teenager, and when faced with such a perilous choice, he ultimately decided to save his life!

"I...I won't bother Ling Shuya anymore," Han Fei said weakly.

Ye Xiao was satisfied then, walked to the side, and, with a laugh, patted Zhang Xiaojian, who was somewhat stupefied, and said, "Aren't you going to help your boss up? Do you really think the ground is a bed?"

Zhang Xiaojian snapped to his senses and hurriedly went to help Han Fei up!

With Zhang Xiaojian's help, Han Fei got up, eyes fixed on Ye Xiao, his face burning with the greatest humiliation he had ever endured in his life!

Ye Xiao also looked at Han Fei, gave a slight smile, and said, "You must be thinking about revenge now, huh? Haha, don't just think about revenge, it's really not good, because you might not succeed!"

Han Fei turned and walked directly outside the classroom; Liuu Xinlei, Zhang Xiaojian, and Zhao Chi quickly followed along. Just then, they heard Ye Xiao say, "Your dagger!"

Without thinking, Han Fei and the others turned around, but at that very moment, with a 'whoosh,' the dagger nailed itself into the door like a steel nail!

Han Fei and the others were stunned. Having witnessed Ye Xiao's prowess just moments ago, they were no longer surprised. Liuu Xinlei exerted a lot of effort to pull the dagger out, and they all hurriedly left!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ye Xiao, and the complex looks made him feel a bit embarrassed!

Yet, Ye Xiao, acting as if nothing had happened, walked to his seat from the morning and plopped down, then suddenly looked up at Zhan Bo and said, "Zhan Bo, do you have any extracurricular books or something? I'm really not interested in these textbooks!"

The crowd was shocked; this guy was really a boss!

At this moment, Zhan Bo was utterly admiring Ye Xiao, who seemed like a Martial Arts master in his eyes!

Zhan Bo hurried over to Ye Xiao's side, looking for extracurricular books for him!

…

"Shuya, it seems this Ye Xiao is pretty capable. Why not make him your bodyguard? The people who harass you are like flies, and you're quite annoyed, right? It would be better to have him shoo away the flies," Zhou Yuyan said to Ling Shuya cheerfully.

Ling Shuya rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuyan and said, "It's all because you talk too much. If it weren't for you, how could things have escalated to this point? You know Han Fei too; he's not someone easy to provoke!"

Zhou Yuyan said, "Do you really like Han Fei?"

Ling Shuya immediately responded, "Nonsense, how could I possibly like Han Fei? After all, Ye Xiao is the bodyguard hired by my dad. I don't want any conflict between my dad and Han Fei's dad, especially since Han Fei's dad is a government official!"

Zhou Yuyan nodded after hearing Ling Shuya's words, chuckled, and said, "I really didn't think that much, just felt it was quite fun. If there's any trouble with Uncle Ling, I'll just ask my grandfather; though he has retired, he should still be able to handle some things!"

Ling Shuya said, "Let's not think too much about it. Besides, it would be better to lock Ye Xiao up, to keep him from being a pest!"

Of course, Ye Xiao didn't know about Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan's conversation, and at the moment, he was chatting with Zhan Bo.

"Brother Xiao, this 'Great Mage' is a newly released book; it looks good, though it's not yet complete!"

"Really? Is it a fantasy genre?" Ye Xiao asked as he took the book.

Zhan Bo replied, "It's an online game-type book, just something to pass the time!"

Ye Xiao said, "You're right about that."

Zhan Bo handed the book to Ye Xiao, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ye Xiao: "Brother Xiao, I'm a bit worried now."

Ye Xiao, while opening the book, asked, "Worried about Han Fei's revenge?"

Zhan Bo nodded; he had no secrets from Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Military tactics say to confront soldiers with armor and counter water with earth. If he has the ability, let him bring it!"

"Zhan Bo seemed worried when he exclaimed, 'Han Fei's dad is the head of the police station!'"

Ye Xiao replied, "Head of the police station? No big deal, we're taxpayers anyway!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's response, Zhan Bo could only bitterly smile. Was that even sound logic? But, with so many corrupt officials around, why hasn't anyone taken them down?

Ye Xiao soon became engrossed in his book, while Zhan Bo, seeing Ye Xiao fall silent, felt awkward about saying anything more. At the moment, Zhan Bo's biggest concern was the inevitable return of Han Fei!

Before they knew it, over an hour had passed, and the first class was about to begin!

The first class was literature, taught by Su Yun, so she walked into the classroom carrying her textbooks!

Today, the classroom was unusually quiet, which puzzled Su Yun as she entered. However, seeing the seat next to Ye Xiao still empty, she felt very displeased!

Originally focusing on his novel, Ye Xiao noticed Su Yun entering the classroom and his eyes were immediately drawn to her!

Su Yun was still wearing the same professional outfit from the morning. Although Ye Xiao wasn't interested in studying, Su Yun standing at the podium captured his attention for the first time in class!

People say that when one's focus intensifies too much, their mind starts conjuring images of what they desire!

It was a sunny day, and the beautiful Teacher Su Yun was strolling down the street when, suddenly, the heavens opened up, drenching her with a downpour. The street vendors vanished in an instant, and Teacher Su Yun's beige business suit was soaked through. The rain drummed on her head, dripped down to her earlobes, then trickled along her neck before settling in certain captivating places. Teacher Su Yun kept running through the rain until she finally reached the school's entrance, where she saw Ye Xiao also soaked. Their eyes met, and sparks of love flared up, drying the rain in an instant!

"Would you let me be your bride?" Teacher Su Yun asked, her face full of longing and her whole body trembling with wetness as she spoke.

This ignited a surge of desire in Ye Xiao!

"I do!" Ye Xiao shouted his response loudly!

At that moment, the world hushed until the sound of someone's pen dropping on the floor clattered, snapping Ye Xiao out of it, and he realized he was now standing up!

Su Yun stood at the podium, holding chalk, and looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled face, clearly wanting to know what had gotten into him as he suddenly stood up and declared "I do!"

At this point, all the other students in the class were also staring at him!

Ye Xiao then realized he had become too absorbed in his imagination!

Damn, I really have an actor's instinct to delve into a role so quickly!

Su Yun quickly realized the situation and thought Ye Xiao was causing a disturbance in class. Just as she was about to speak, the sound of knocking at the classroom door drew her attention!

At the doorway stood two police officers in uniform!

The presence of police at the school was definitely not a normal occurrence. As the homeroom teacher, Su Yun immediately approached the two officers!

The police officers were taken aback by how charming a teacher could look. They paused for a moment before solemnly saying to Su Yun, "Hello, you must be Teacher Su!"

Su Yun replied, "I am. May I ask what this is about?"

One officer said, "Someone filed a report claiming that a student from Minghai Academy named Ye Xiao has attempted murder. We are here to conduct a routine investigation!"

Attempted murder?

That was no small accusation!

Hearing this, Su Yun immediately responded, "Officer, there must be some mistake. Ye Xiao is a student who just transferred today, and the principal is aware of this. He's just a kid; how could he possibly attempt to murder anyone? Who is the alleged victim?"

"Han Fei!" the officer replied.

Ye Xiao attempting to murder Han Fei?

Su Yun was utterly confused; Ye Xiao and Han Fei might not have even met each other, so how could he possibly attempt to murder Han Fei?

As Su Yun was about to speak, Ye Xiao, who had come over at some point, interrupted her,

"Teacher Su, let me handle this with them," Ye Xiao said with a smile to Su Yun.

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao in surprise; she absolutely didn't believe Ye Xiao could commit murder—Ye Xiao struck her as a boy full of positive energy!

Su Yun said, "Ye Xiao, don't be afraid, you have your teacher here!"

Ye Xiao replied, "Teacher Su, the government is just. If I can return safely, it proves I've been wrongly accused. If I really committed any murder, however, I wouldn't be able to escape the law, so there's no need to worry about me. Officers, let's go."

With a nonchalant expression, Ye Xiao left everyone puzzled. These two officers had many years on the job and had seen countless suspects, but Ye Xiao was perhaps the first person to stay so at ease in such a situation!
