With only five minutes left before class ended, Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo, laughing and talking, returned to the classroom. The first two mental methods of the True Yang Skill had been taught to Zhan Bo, and Zhan Bo had memorized them clearly. Ye Xiao also shared some techniques for cultivating Inner Strength, which would be of great help to Zhan Bo, who had already opened his governor and conception vessels. Zhan Bo was expected to master them soon!

This was a self-study session, so there were no teachers in the classroom at the moment. However, it wasn't noisy either because Ling Shuya, the class monitor, was sitting at the teacher's desk!

Ling Shuya was somewhat upset today, and one could even say annoyed. Had it not been for her, Ye Xiao would surely be staying at the Guard Bureau by now. Yet upon his return, he hadn't shown any gratitude, and even spoke to her with a stern face – it was as if he didn't regard her at all!

Ling Shuya had firmly decided that the moment she got a chance, she would definitely expel Ye Xiao. Such a bodyguard was unbearable and infuriating!

However, at that moment, Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo entered the classroom!

When the two appeared at the doorway, everybody was surprised; these two actually returned unscathed from the abandoned building! Although Zhan Bo had some bruises on his face, seemingly without any serious harm.

Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo walked into the classroom and headed straight to their seats. At that time, Han Fei and the others hadn't returned, so Ye Xiao took the seat that Su Yun had arranged for him previously.

"You two, stop right there!" Ling Shuya suddenly shouted from the platform.

Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo stopped immediately and turned to look at Ling Shuya. Ye Xiao was indifferent, but Zhan Bo hurriedly said, "Class monitor, don't be mad, we didn't mean to be late. There's a reason for it, let me explain!"

"Don't explain to me, explain to Teacher Su!" Ling Shuya said sternly, her gaze fixed on Ye Xiao the entire time, completely ignoring Zhan Bo.

Ye Xiao was smart enough to understand what was bothering Ling Shuya and quickly chuckled, "Shuya, don't be angry. You see, Zhan Bo is injured. He's merely a patient now; let him rest!"

Ling Shuya responded, "Am I someone you can address by name? Just wait for Teacher Su, and both of you stand there!"

Ye Xiao was inwardly shocked. An old saying goes, 'Women and villains are hard to raise', and this was so true!

Coincidentally, just as Ling Shuya had burst out, Su Yun walked into the classroom. Class was almost dismissed, and Su Yun had just come to check on them, hearing Ling Shuya's outburst.

Seeing Ling Shuya fuming and red-faced, then looking at Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo, particularly the injury on Zhan Bo's face, Su Yun asked, "Zhan Bo, what happened to your face?"

Zhan Bo replied, "Teacher Su, it's nothing. I just bumped into something."

Su Yun was no fool; she knew this likely had something to do with Han Fei, but since it wasn't serious, she didn't want to delve deeper.

"Shuya, as class monitor, you need to be generous," Su Yun said to Ling Shuya and then turned to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, Shuya is the monitor, and her words also represent mine. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Teacher Su. I will be careful in the future," Ye Xiao replied politely and then turned to Ling Shuya, "Classmate Shuya, I'm really sorry about today. As a monitor and our role model, I believe you will forgive me. Thank you!"

Despite Ling Shuya's rage boiling inside, she didn't dare to act out, partly because Su Yun was there, and partly because she was still the monitor, and doing too much could affect her image.

"Hmph!" Ling Shuya snorted, grabbed her textbook, and walked off the platform to her seat.

Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo then returned to their seats.

Su Yun was quite helpless. Technically, Ling Shuya was being somewhat excessive today, but Su Yun knew about Ling Shuya's background. Li Jianwen had instructed her several times to take good care of Ling Shuya, who normally did not have a princess attitude, but why was she always opposing Ye Xiao, the new student today?

Su Yun wanted to know why, but no one told her, and with too many serious incidents having occurred today, all she could do now was hope that the class's future wouldn't be so troublesome.

It didn't take long before the school bell rang.

At Minghai Academy, some students lived on campus, while others commuted. The boarding students had to attend evening study sessions, but the commuters did not. Because of the extreme disparity in family backgrounds at Minghai Academy, most boarding students were top learners and had mostly tested into the school.

Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo walked out of the academic building with Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan heading straight for the school gates.

"Yuyan, if you keep speaking well of Ye Xiao, we are through!" Ling Shuya fiercely said to Zhou Yuyan walking beside her.

Zhou Yuyan immediately chuckled and replied, "I didn't say anything, okay, fine, I won't say anymore. Have you noticed that he's been following us? Do you think he might also be arranged by your dad to stay in your villa?"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya shuddered and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, don't jinx it, how could that be possible? My dad would never do that. I'm a girl; how could he possibly let a guy live in my villa? It definitely won't happen!"

Despite Ling Shuya's words, she was deeply worried.

As they exited the school gates, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan headed straight for the Mercedes driven by Weei Jie. As Ye Xiao was about to head over there, Zhan Bo pulled him back, saying, "Brother Xiao, look quick, that's the civilian school beauty, Lin Dieying!"

On hearing the words 'civilian school beauty', Ye Xiao immediately looked in the direction pointed out by Zhan Bo; indeed, a tender-looking young girl was walking away from the school. The students around her were dressed very ostentatiously, but she was dressed simply. However, even simple clothes could not hide her stunning appearance.

"Is that Lin Dieying?" Ye Xiao asked.

"Exactly, Brother Xiao, that's Lin Dieying. She looks good, doesn't she?" Zhan Bo said.

Ye Xiao replied, "Indeed, she is quite beautiful, on a par with Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan."

Zhan Bo added, "Lin Dieying was born to the wrong family. If she had been born into riches, she would surely be an admired young lady of a wealthy family."

Ye Xiao said, "That's right, I like it!"

"Brother Xiao, I support you!" Zhan Bo said with a smile.

"You're smiling quite slyly!" Ye Xiao remarked.

"How could that be, if Brother Xiao you could win Lin Dieying's favor, I would definitely bless you," Zhan Bo said. "However, winning over Lin Dieying is not something just anyone can do, at least, I can't!"

Ye Xiao chuckled and did not continue the topic, but instead he said, "Let's go back, I'm leaving too!"

Then, Ye Xiao headed straight for the Mercedes.

However, just as he was about to reach the Mercedes, Ye Xiao spotted someone. He had met this person only once before but clearly knew that he shouldn't be here at this time!

"Brother Xiao!" The man quickly walked up to Ye Xiao, looking at him with a face full of gratitude.

"Did you just get out?" Ye Xiao asked the man.

"Yes!"

This man was none other than Zhao Dapeng, whom Ye Xiao had previously mentioned he would rescue from the police station!

Ye Xiao had only mentioned it to Weei Jie and didn't expect Zhao Dapeng to be rescued so quickly!

It seemed Ye Xiao had to reevaluate the Ling family!

Ye Xiao believed that it definitely wasn't just Weei Jie's power alone; it was Ling Hengyu's influence!

"Dapeng, have you thought about what job you'll do now that you're out?" Ye Xiao asked.

Zhao Dapeng replied, "I really haven't thought about it, but I suppose I could work as a security guard!"

Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile, "I've seen quite a few entertainment spots near the school; you should just pick one and apply. With your abilities, getting a job there won't be a problem!"

Zhao Dapeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Would that involve doing anything illegal?"

"Is Yang Ming doing anything illegal? Am I doing anything illegal by rescuing you? And how are things going? I'm fine, and Yang Ming is still the captain," Ye Xiao retorted without answering directly!

Zhao Dapeng immediately understood Ye Xiao's point and said, "Brother Xiao, I get it, but how can I continue to follow you if I take up that job?"

Ye Xiao said, "You just need to remember, you're one of my people; it's as simple as that!"

Zhao Dapeng nodded and replied, "Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao took out two thousand yuan, the only money he had in his pocket, and handed it to Zhao Dapeng, saying, "Take this and buy some nutritional supplements for your sister!"

"Brother Xiao, how can I accept this?" Zhao Dapeng objected.

"This is an order!" Ye Xiao declared.

Zhao Dapeng was dumbfounded, thinking that such an order was too humane!

With no choice, Zhao Dapeng took the money from Ye Xiao's hand. Ye Xiao said, "Alright, I'm off!"

Zhao Dapeng asked Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, how can I contact you?"

Ye Xiao replied, "I attend classes here regularly, it's easy to find me!"

Then, Ye Xiao got into the Mercedes and rode away!

Though Zhao Dapeng did not know exactly who Ye Xiao was, being able to easily get him out of prison meant he was no ordinary person. Zhao Dapeng was extremely grateful to Ye Xiao; for him, Ye Xiao had granted him a new lease on life. If not for Ye Xiao, Zhao Dapeng might have spent his entire life in prison!

In the car!

"Uncle Weei, thank you!" Ye Xiao said to Weei Jie with a smile.

Weei Jie said, "It's a small thing, but I don't know what relationship you have with him?"

Ye Xiao replied, "No relationship!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Weei Jie was immediately puzzled.

Ye Xiao said, "I won't go into the details with Uncle Weei, but I can only say, this is all to properly protect Miss Ling!"

At that, Ling Shuya sitting in the back seat immediately got upset!

"Who asked you to protect me? Ye Xiao, remember this, we're not done!" Ling Shuya said angrily.

Weei Jie was immediately embarrassed, wondering what exactly was going on between this Miss and Ye Xiao. Why did they seem like arch-enemies?
