Around seven o'clock, Ye Xiao, who was practicing his martial arts, noticed a car stopping outside. So, he immediately walked out of his room and, as expected, it was Weei Jie arriving!

Weei Jie came in carrying two lunchboxes!

Ye Xiao greeted Weei Jie politely, "Uncle Weei, you're also delivering breakfast in the morning?"

Weei Jie, smiling, placed the lunchboxes on the dining table and said, "Yes, Mr. Ling is worried about the cleanliness of breakfast from outside, so he has been delivering it continuously. Ye Xiao, how did you sleep last night? Ok, I hope!"

Ye Xiao replied, "Very well!"

Afterward, Weei Jie went straight to the kitchen, which puzzled Ye Xiao. They were in the middle of a conversation, why did he go to the kitchen?

But soon, Weei Jie came back and looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Who washed the dishes from yesterday?"

Ye Xiao answered, "Me, why?"

Weei Jie laughed and said, "Nothing, it's just that we have always taken them to the hotel for staff to wash. You don't need to do it in the future!"

Ye Xiao said, "Washing some dishes is just a trifle!"

Listeing to Ye Xiao, Weei Jie couldn't help but nod to himself, thinking that Ye Xiao was indeed a pretty good kid!

Before long, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, who had finished their morning routine, came downstairs!

"Uncle Weei, you're here so early!" Zhou Yuyan said with a smile to Weei Jie!

Ye Xiao had thought that Zhou Yuyan would surely be very shy on seeing him, but to his surprise, Zhou Yuyan wasn't shy at all; in fact, she appeared perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened!

During the meal, Ye Xiao smartly sat on the sofa. Considering what happened the night before, he didn't need to make things awkward for himself. However unexpectedly, Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao and said, "What are you doing sitting so far away during mealtime? Hurry up and eat, then get off to school. I don't want to be delayed because of you!"

Ling Shuya's words couldn't have been clearer. She had already agreed to let Ye Xiao join them for a meal. Not going over would just be asking for trouble.

So, Ye Xiao quickly went over and sat down in an empty seat!

Weei Jie, who was sitting aside, was quite amazed. He hadn't expected Ling Shuya to relent and let Ye Xiao join them for a meal, especially considering she had clearly been unwilling to let Ye Xiao eat with her last night!

The breakfast was quite simple, and Ye Xiao noticed that although Ling Hengyu was very wealthy, Ling Shuya's meals were not at all extravagant; however, they were nutritious and well balanced!

...

Ye Xiao and the others left the villa and took the Mercedes straight to Minghai Academy. Today was Ye Xiao's second day of school, and his mood was still good. Moreover, when he thought about the events of last night and this morning, Ye Xiao frequently laughed; such stories would make anyone laugh!

Sunshine Garden wasn't far from Minghai Academy, so it didn't take long before they were close to Minghai Academy. However, about a hundred meters from Minghai Academy, Ye Xiao suddenly saw at its entrance a person looking around as if waiting for someone. It was none other than Zhao Dapeng!

Ye Xiao immediately said to Weei Jie, who was driving, "Uncle Weei, please pull over to the side of the road for a moment!"

Weei Jie stopped the car and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xiao said, "I just remembered I don't have any stationery for school, I need to buy a notebook and some pens!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Weei Jie thought it made sense. Although it was just a pretense to attend school, one still needed to keep up appearances, so he let Ye Xiao get out of the car. There was a stationery store right across the street!

After getting out of the car, Ye Xiao said to Weei Jie, "Uncle Weei, you go ahead and take Miss Ling and Miss Zhou to school, don't delay their class time!"

"What Miss Zhou, you can just call me Yuyan. Ye Xiao, buy me a pen too, a black one!" Zhou Yuyan said to Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao replied, "No problem!"

Ling Shuya sarcastically said, "Buying stationery, huh? That's not reimbursable!"

Ye Xiao laughed and made his way straight to the stationery store!

Watching Ye Xiao head towards the stationery store, Weei Jie started the car and said to Ling Shuya with a laugh, "Shuya, what do you think Ye Xiao is really up to at the stationery store?"

"Whatever it is, it can't be just for stationery. Maybe he's got his eye on the store owner!" Ling Shuya exclaimed.

Zhou Yuyan looked stunned at this and said to Ling Shuya, "Really? I remember the stationery store's owner being over fifty years old. Ye Xiao's taste is that... peculiar?"

With a mischievous smile, Ling Shuya said, "Well, who can be sure? Everyone has their own preferences!"

Their conversation made Weei Jie, who was driving up front, inwardly cluck his tongue in disbelief. Anyone who rubs these two ladies the wrong way was certainly in for it!

After getting out of the car, Ye Xiao went directly to the stationery store. Of course, he wasn't there just to buy stationery. Since he wasn't the type to regularly attend classes, he didn't need to be overly diligent in his studies. As for homework, Ye Xiao chuckled to himself – that's what apprentices were for!

Ye Xiao had taken Zhan Bo as his student, teaching him the highest-level Internal Cultivation Methods of the Qiu Mountain Sect. If Zhan Bo couldn't even help write Ye Xiao's homework, that would be quite a disrespect to his mentor, right?

When Ye Xiao entered the stationery store, he asked for a good pen and ended up buying a steel pen for 36 yuan. Although it wasn't very high quality, he really didn't know much about pens anyway. Zhou Yuyan had asked him to buy a pen, but she didn't specify what kind, so Ye Xiao just picked one nonchalantly.

After purchasing the steel pen, Ye Xiao walked out of the store just in time to see Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan getting out of their car. Then, Weei Jie drove away.

Ling Shuya glanced over at Ye Xiao, and when she saw him walking towards the school, she pulled Zhou Yuyan to head back to the campus.

Ye Xiao soon arrived at the school gate where Zhao Dapeng also spotted him and hurried over.

"Brother Xiao!" Zhao Dapeng said respectfully as he approached Ye Xiao.

Zhao Dapeng had recently been discharged from the military and still maintained his manners. Plus, Ye Xiao had saved him from prison, granting him a renewed lease on life, so he was deeply grateful to Ye Xiao.

Smiling, Ye Xiao asked Zhao Dapeng, "Dapeng, what brings you out here so early? Any particular reason?"

Zhao Dapeng replied, "Brother Xiao, last night I went to apply for a security job at the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. The 'manager' took a liking to me and wanted me on his team. At first, I was quite pleased, but later in the night I discovered that he was dealing some special drugs. Turns out, a lot of people in the bar were consuming that stuff."

Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Dapeng intently and said, "Is that so?"

"Yeah!"

"And what do you plan to do about it?" Ye Xiao asked.

Zhao Dapeng thought for a moment and said, "Relying on Yang Ming and those cops, I don't think it'll do much good."

"So what then?" Ye Xiao inquired again, "This job..."

Zhao Dapeng said, "I want to continue with the job, but I plan to collect evidence against them in secret."

"But by working there, you are implicating yourself as well," Ye Xiao pointed out.

Zhao Dapeng replied, "Brother Xiao, I understand that. However, now that I've entered this place, I need to become a part of society, and sometimes, in society, things have to be a bit murky."

"You're a thoughtful person. Not bad," Ye Xiao said.

"But, I need Brother Xiao's help!" Zhao Dapeng stated.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed heartily and said, "My help comes with conditions."

"Brother Xiao, no matter where I stand in the future, you will always be my Brother Xiao!" Zhao Dapeng declared.

At those words, Ye Xiao gave a slight smile!
