Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 185 He is a Master


Ye Xiao's expression changed in an instant when he heard the woman speak, and he glanced at Lan Lan. However, Lan Lan remained silent, apparently consenting by default!

About five seconds later, Lan Lan even nodded her head!

This further confirmed Ye Xiao's suspicions.

Was Lan Lan crazy? These people clearly looked like experienced racers, and what was this Weihang Club that justified paying such a price just to join?

Spend three days? Ye Xiao didn't believe it merely involved keeping them company at meals or drinks; the most crucial aspect was likely keeping them company in bed!

Ye Xiao suddenly raised his hand and smiled, saying, "Everyone, could you allow Lan Lan and me to exchange a few words?"

"Of course, you'd better say whatever needs to be said!" the woman laughed haughtily, speaking with arrogance.

Ye Xiao pulled Lan Lan aside and looked at her with some concern, saying, "You guys aren't just joking, right? Are you sure about this?"

"I'm not that foolish. I just wanted to test my driving skills today to see if they're good enough to thrash them all. If not... and if they dare to force me," Lan Lan said with a sly smile watching Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback and then said, "You didn't ask me to come just to face them in a fight if it came to that, did you?"

Lan Lan immediately giggled and nodded her head, saying, "Ye Xiao, you're so clever!"

Ye Xiao suddenly felt helpless and said, "How good are your driving skills, really?"

So Lan Lan had called him over to be her bodyguard; damn it, a bodyguard again! How had he ended up being everyone's bodyguard?

Lan Lan said, "It's okay, I guess. The car has just been modified, and I'm not sure about its performance."

"You had a deal, and it wouldn't be right for me to intervene and fight them. So, I've decided not to help. If the police get involved, wouldn't I be implicated?" Ye Xiao said sincerely.

Lan Lan said, "Ye Xiao, please, you surely won't stand by and watch those people ruin me, right? If they really... hmph, I'd rather die!"

Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan and then at Xu Ming and the others, and said to Lan Lan, "You need to give me a good reason at the very least!"

After thinking for a moment, Lan Lan immediately said with a teasing smile, "If I really lose to them today, and you help me out, at worst, I could agree to your marriage proposal. I've already let you take such advantage of me, you can't possibly refuse to help me now, can you?"

Ye Xiao broke out in a cold sweat and immediately responded, "How do I not feel at all like I'm taking advantage? All I feel is that I've been manipulated!"

"Manipulated?" Lan Lan looked at Ye Xiao with a wronged expression and said, "Are you talking about me? How could you bear to say that about me, a kind-hearted and beautiful girl?"

"Alright, alright, no need for that pitiful act. I'm telling you, I'm only helping you this one time. If something like this ever happens again, don't come to me. I can't afford to lose face; it's one thing if you don't keep your word, but another to get into fights!" Ye Xiao said with indignation.

Ye Xiao always felt like he was a thoroughly good guy. It was just that he had never formally studied. If he had, his family would probably have a mountain of awards!

Hearing Ye Xiao's promise, Lan Lan immediately giggled and said to him, "Don't worry, just this once. I promise, after you help me this time, you can make an excessive request of me – any request, really!"

As Lan Lan spoke, her eyes flirted provocatively, full of charm. What was this girl up to? Temptation?

This guy, Ye Xiao, had no immunity to beautiful women. Although he had felt earlier that Lan Lan had tricked him, seeing her seductive expression now made his heart itch uncontrollably.

"This is what you've said – my request might not be something just anyone could accept!" Ye Xiao's gaze scanned Lan Lan's body like a scanner.

He had never really taken a good look at Lan Lan before. The girl had developed quite wonderfully; describing her with an angel's face and a devil's body couldn't be more apt. Previously, Ye Xiao had always been mixed up with Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, Su Yun, the Song sisters, and Guan Xiaonan, and he had been somewhat resistant to letting another woman get involved. But today, observing Lan Lan closely, he found she was genuinely beautiful and, in some respects, definitely not inferior to the other beauties!

"What are you staring at?" Lan Lan suddenly asked, interrupting Ye Xiao's thoughts.

Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan and smiled slightly, saying, "Nothing much, just casually looking. I need to see which parts of you are worth making an excessive request for!"

Lan Lan was briefly taken aback by Ye Xiao's words, then smiled at him and said, "So, what's your conclusion?"

"Average," Ye Xiao said deliberately!

"Hey, Ye Xiao, what are you saying? I may not be a beauty like Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, but at least I'm not ugly, am I? You're indirectly insulting me!"

Ye Xiao immediately apologized with a smile, "Of course not, of course not!"

Just then, Xu Ming, Ren Yi, and others, seeing Ye Xiao and Lan Lan chatting and laughing as if no one else was around, were very annoyed, especially Xu Ming, who rarely found people who didn't take him seriously!

Xu Ming looked at the redhead and said, "Zhao Xin, ask Lan Lan if she still wants to race or not."

Zhao Xin glanced at Xu Ming, knowing he had his eye on Lan Lan; otherwise, Lan Lan simply applying to join the Weihang Club wouldn't have led Xu Ming to impose any additional conditions. Normally, joining the Weihang Club involved only two options: acceptance or rejection, no other strings attached!

Zhao Xin had a crush on Xu Ming—and this was well-known—so she felt some irritation on hearing Xu Ming's words. But as much as she was irked, Xu Ming's commands had to be obeyed because if he were displeased, he could expel her from the Weihang Club at any time!

Though Weihang Club's branch in Minghai City was small, it still wasn't a club just anyone could join. Driving skill was the main criterion, and family background came next. While these were the official terms, everyone knew that Weihang Club was more than just a simple racing club!

Zhao Xin's irritation was taken out entirely on Lan Lan!

"Lan Lan, do you still want to race or not? Let me tell you, we've still got a lot of things to do!" Zhao Xin said coldly.

Lan Lan glanced at Zhao Xin and then said, "Of course I want to race!"

"Good," Zhao Xin replied. "Then you'll race against me!"

Lan Lan immediately shook her head, "I want to race against the strongest driver here!"

Zhao Xin was fuming upon hearing Lan Lan's words. What did she mean by that? Was her driving really that bad? And besides, the best driver here was Xu Ming. As the leader of Weihang Club's Minghai branch, Xu Ming's driving skills were formidable. If he wasn't undefeated in Minghai City, the provincial Weihang Club wouldn't have appointed him as the branch leader!

It wasn't just Zhao Xin who was surprised by Lan Lan's statement; everyone else was too, and they all burst into laughter.

"This chick must be out of her mind!" Ye Xiao was utterly puzzled by Lan Lan's words but quickly understood her angle. She wasn't foolish at all—in fact, her mind was sharp. She was simply throwing caution to the wind; if she won against the strongest, it would prove her ability, but if she lost, people would expect her to fulfill her promise, and that's when Lan Lan would bring him into the game.

Win or lose, there was no downside for Lan Lan at all.

"You might as well race against Zhao Xin. If you win against her, I might consider racing with you," said Xu Ming with a smile. "This guy is your boyfriend, right? I know my earlier condition was a bit harsh, but I can be flexible too. If you think you can't win, your boyfriend can take your place. If you guys win, I'll make an exception and let you both join the Minghai branch of the Weihang Club!"

"I can race just fine on my own. He's a pro; he shouldn't race lightly!" Lan Lan knew from Ye Xiao that he didn't drive fast, so, at this point, she thought that if Ye Xiao really raced, they'd just lose faster, so she would definitely not let him.

A pro, of course, wouldn't race casually.

"Ha, a pro?" Xu Ming laughed upon hearing Lan Lan's words. "Really a pro? I'm quite interested in playing a couple of rounds with a pro. Same as before, as long as you can win, even if this pro takes the wheel for the whole race, it's okay with me!"

Lan Lan's expression turned sour; the comment was clearly a bit insulting.

"Enough talk, where are we racing?" Lan Lan said, annoyed.

Xu Ming glanced at Ye Xiao and then climbed into his Lamborghini.

Zhao Xin, meanwhile, looked at Lan Lan, and stole a glance at Ye Xiao.

"You know where Minghai City's racetrack is, right? Let's head there. If you don't know the way, you can follow my car," Zhao Xin said with a smug smile.

Lan Lan was visibly annoyed and got into her BMW X6 immediately.

Ye Xiao got into the car too.

"Why are you so angry?" Ye Xiao said. "Didn't he say it? As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if we both drive together!"

Lan Lan shot Ye Xiao a disgruntled look, "Do you think that joke is funny?"

Ye Xiao understood. Lan Lan was not confident in his driving skills, or rather, she didn't believe he could race at all!

Starting the car, Lan Lan quickly chased after Xu Ming, Zhao Xin, and the others.

Seeing the serious look on Lan Lan's face, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile. Although she had brought him along, she still didn't want to lose!
