Wangg Yin was like a reckless calf, charging forward and disrupting the plans of many.

Fu Donglai spoke thoroughly about any potential benefits for himself, but mainly pointed out that Wangg Yin's actions were inappropriate and would have negative consequences in the future.

"Are you done talking?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Wangg Yin, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, didn't know what he meant, so he just nodded and said, "I'm done."

"You want to oppose me." Ye Xiao continued speaking to Wangg Yin with a smile.

"Brother Xiao, I absolutely don't. My loyalty to you, Brother Xiao, is as clear as day and night," Wangg Yin anxiously pledged his allegiance to Ye Xiao.

"Is that so?" Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "Then tell me, why are you so loyal to me? Everyone has their reasons for doing anything."

"I..." Fu Donglai looked at Ye Xiao, sweat appearing on his forehead. The weather was definitely not suitable for sweating, yet Fu Donglai was sweating profusely, as if he was drenched. At this moment, Fu Donglai truly didn't understand why Ye Xiao was suddenly saying these things.

Ye Xiao looked at the very tense Fu Donglai and burst out laughing, saying, "Let me tell you, it's because of power."

"Huh?" Fu Donglai was slightly surprised at Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao's smile widened as he said, "Because of power, yes. If you could knock me down with a single finger, then I doubt I'd be able to leave the Fu Mansion today. Donglai, don't you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

Ye Xiao's words were said leisurely, yet they pierced Fu Donglai's heart like sharp spikes.

Fu Donglai immediately stood up from his chair and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Brother Xiao, Donglai wouldn't dare to do anything against you. For my entire life, I've been your subordinate, Brother Xiao. Just say the word, and I'd die a thousand deaths for you. There's absolutely no way I would ever harbor disloyal thoughts. Brother Xiao, has someone been speaking ill of me to you? Please, don't believe them. My loyalty to you, Brother Xiao, is as evident as the heavens."

Ye Xiao looked at the especially nervous and even fearful Fu Donglai, with a faint smile on his face.

There were three people in the living room at this time, besides Ye Xiao and Fu Donglai, there was another person, who was Fu Donglai's confidant, Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan could absolutely be considered Fu Donglai's strategist.

At this moment, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Quan was also drenched in cold sweat.

What kind of person was Ye Xiao? If a demon is frightening, at least you can see its terrifying face. But Ye Xiao didn't have a terrifying face; he could make you feel fear from within, true fear.

"Mr. Ye, our Mr. Fu would never have second thoughts about you, rest assured of that," Zhang Quan said, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's eyes were fixed on Fu Donglai all the while, and the more he looked, the more Fu Donglai sweated, fearing that Ye Xiao might see through him.

Is Fu Donglai truly that loyal to Ye Xiao? The answer: it's completely nonsense.

No one wants to live under someone else's shadow. For this, Fu Donglai even sacrificed his grandfather, father, and half-brother. However, he didn't expect that this would lead to luring a tiger to chase away the wolves. Each of those bad wolves was eliminated by Fu Donglai either directly or indirectly, but it invited a tiger a hundred times stronger than the wolves.

Ye Xiao is this tiger.

Facing wolves alone, Fu Donglai was no match, let alone a tiger.

He harbored rebellious thoughts but was helpless, which was Fu Donglai's true portrayal now.

Ye Xiao is no fool. He killed Fu Tianjue and Fu Bin and severely injured Fu Hongyi, making him an unredeemable enemy of the Fu family. However, Fu Donglai now treats Ye Xiao as his biggest benefactor daily.

Is this normal?

Obviously not normal, and Fu Donglai's fear is naturally only due to Ye Xiao's power.

Ye Xiao suddenly burst into laughter, fully aware but knowing that if he made it clear, many things would stop being amusing.

Ye Xiao laughed as he stood up from his chair, walked leisurely to Fu Donglai, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "We are brothers, how could I not believe you? I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

"Brother Xiao, please don't make such jokes." Fu Donglai's heart was pounding, in complete overdrive.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Don't think too much. I was just giving an example. Since you aren't going to oppose me, doesn't this prove a point? As long as you have strength, you can behave recklessly. Was Wangg Yin's disturbance that intense? I don't think so. When the forces of the martial world are completely eradicated, that's what I call intense. If it takes three to five years just in Bird City, then tell me, what about the whole Yan Country and even abroad? How long would that take? Should I find a woman now to have a child so my son can finish these tasks?"

Ye Xiao spoke with a smile, but Fu Donglai didn't feel like it was a joke at all.

However, from Ye Xiao's words, Fu Donglai understood. He initially planned to report that Wangg Yin was causing too much trouble to Ye Xiao, hoping Wangg Yin would be withdrawn, allowing him to take over the mess that Wangg Yin had created. But now, Fu Donglai understood that this was all Ye Xiao's intention.

Now it seems like Wangg Yin is causing trouble, but in reality, it's actually Ye Xiao behind it all. It's just that Ye Xiao isn't giving direct orders.

"Brother Xiao, I think Wangg Yin isn't an ordinary person either. It seems he's not bad in martial arts," Fu Donglai tentatively asked.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "He's alright, at least better than you."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fu Donglai's heart suddenly felt like it got hammered.

He thought Wangg Yin was just acting arrogant because Ye Xiao instructed him to. But now from Ye Xiao's words, it turns out that Wangg Yin is actually a skilled martial artist, even stronger than Fu Donglai.

After all, Fu Donglai is nearly at the mid-stage of the Xuan Rank, a genius martial artist.

Could it be that Wangg Yin is at the mid-stage of the Xuan Rank?

There is indeed a difference between being close and actually being at that stage.

Fu Donglai didn't continue to ask because he didn't dare. He feared that if the answer matched his assumption, it would be hard for him to accept it mentally.

"Alright, that's settled then," Ye Xiao said to Fu Donglai with a smile, "Do whatever Wangg Yin says. If he wants money, give him money. If he needs martial artist subordinates, lend him your guards. Of course, if he makes a mess that neither of us can handle, let him clean it up himself."

Survival of the fittest?

This was the thought that flashed through Fu Donglai's mind.

But after this thought, Fu Donglai was surprised. Since Ye Xiao dared to do this, it already spoke volumes about Wangg Yin's strength.

Since Ye Xiao said so, Fu Donglai could only quickly respond, "Yes, Brother Xiao, I'll make sure to do Wangg Yin's logistics work well."

Ye Xiao heard Fu Donglai's response and couldn't help but smile slightly. Sometimes people need a bit of a push.

Then Fu Donglai looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, dealing with the Liu family isn't easy. If Liu Shixun really comes here, and I can't get the old man to show up, what should I do? And right now, my biggest suspicion is that there's an insider here. If there really is one, it's not impossible for Liu Shixun to force a search."

Hearing Fu Donglai's words, Ye Xiao felt the same. Liu Wenzhuo and Fang Chunzhi must not get into trouble, as he already promised Fang Jing.

After much thought, Ye Xiao said to Fu Donglai, "Well, give me a call at the slightest sign of trouble. If it really doesn't work, just stall until I get there. As outsiders see it, the Fu family is still mighty and powerful. Is it that easy to mess with?"

"Okay then!" Fu Donglai nodded and said.

Ye Xiao said, "I'll check on Liu Wenzhuo first, at least so I can say something when that girl asks."

Fu Donglai looked as if he understood well, and then went with Ye Xiao to the backyard, where Liu Wenzhuo was staying.

"Aunt Fang!" Ye Xiao had just reached the door when he saw Fang Chunzhi standing there and greeted her politely.

Fang Chunzhi turned her head when she heard 'Aunt Fang' and immediately walked over upon seeing it was Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao, you're here." Fang Chunzhi spoke and glanced behind Ye Xiao, seeing no one else but Fu Donglai, and her eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

Clearly, Fang Chunzhi thought Ye Xiao had brought Fang Jing.

How could Ye Xiao not see through it? After all, even the best son-in-law can't compare to an ugly daughter.

Ye Xiao smiled and said to Fang Chunzhi, "Aunt Fang, I'm here today for some matters and thought I'd check on you and Uncle Liu."

While Fang Chunzhi was somewhat disappointed, she knew that to return to their previous life of freedom, they needed to rely on Ye Xiao. Moreover, Ye Xiao and Fang Jing seemed to have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so Fang Chunzhi was quite courteous to Ye Xiao.

"Let's go inside," Fang Chunzhi said, and went in with Ye Xiao and Fu Donglai.

As the three of them entered, they saw Liu Wenzhuo sitting on the couch, lost in thought.

It's hard to imagine that the head of the Liu family has ended up in such a state.

"Mr. Ye!" Liu Wenzhuo's eyes, originally dull, lit up with hope upon seeing Ye Xiao, and he immediately stood up.

Ye Xiao smiled and said to Liu Wenzhuo, "Uncle Liu, you seem to be doing much better."

Liu Wenzhuo laughed dryly, looked at Fu Donglai, and then said to Ye Xiao, "It's all thanks to the care at the Fu family, Donglai, I really have to thank you."
