Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 271 Caught in the Act


Su Yun emerged from the bedroom, having actually heard the conversation of the people outside. It wasn't that the room was poorly insulated, but as a Martial Artist, her hearing was very acute, especially now that Su Yun's meridians had just recovered!

However, although she had heard their conversation, Su Yun pretended as if she hadn't and walked out of the bedroom. Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, Shen Qiuyu, and Lan Lan all turned their gaze toward Su Yun.

Feeling uncomfortable under the scrutiny of the five people, Su Yun immediately changed the subject upon seeing the dishes on the coffee table and asked, "Did Ye Xiao make all of these?"

Hearing Su Yun's words, Ye Xiao quickly responded, "Sister Su, I made all of these. Everyone should also wash your hands, let's get ready to eat, I'm starving!"

Ling Shuya and the other women looked at each other before hurrying off to the washroom!

Seeing them heading to the washroom, Ye Xiao immediately turned to Su Yun, who had now come over to the couch, and asked seriously, "How are you feeling?"

Understanding what Ye Xiao meant, Su Yun glanced at Ling Shuya and the others who hadn't yet come out of the washroom, then she told Ye Xiao, "The Heart Cleansing Pill really works, my meridians are almost fully healed now!"

Hearing Su Yun's words, Ye Xiao was instantly thrilled; in the future, Su Yun wouldn't need to take medicine anymore. He immediately approached Su Yun, took her wrist, and said, "Let me check!"

Although Su Yun didn't know exactly what level of Martial Artist Ye Xiao was, she did know one thing for certain—Ye Xiao was definitely strong. Therefore, when Ye Xiao grabbed her wrist, Su Yun didn't react at all, because at that moment, there was not a hint of impropriety in Ye Xiao's eyes!

Ye Xiao took Su Yun's wrist and began to channel a trace of Nine Yang True Qi to examine her meridians. As the Nine Yang True Qi entered her wrist and then her body, he immediately found that Su Yun's meridians were indeed fully healed, and there was even a small amount of Inner Power True Qi slowly flowing inside her. What surprised Ye Xiao was that the Inner Power True Qi flowing within Su Yun was of the Fire Element, and it was extremely vigorous at that!

"Ye Xiao, what are you doing? You're openly harassing Sister Su in the living room!" A sharp voice came from the washroom door!

Ye Xiao, who was intent on examining Su Yun's meridians, jumped at the sudden shout. Hearing the voice, he was instantly beset with a headache!

Su Yun also looked up at the speaker—who else could it be but Ling Shuya?

As soon as Ling Shuya finished washing her hands, she hurried out of the washroom, only to see Ye Xiao grabbing Su Yun's wrist, not letting go, and facing Su Yun, who was looking down—it was impossible to discern her expression. But Ling Shuya felt that Su Yun must have been coerced again!

Suddenly, Ling Shuya felt that Ye Xiao was utterly unforgivable, having previously forced Su Yun, and now, he was shamelessly taking advantage in the living room as if no one else were there!

Now, Ling Shuya absolutely suspected that Ye Xiao was relying on his strength as a Martial Artist to coerce Su Yun!

With this thought, words like 'shameless' and 'vulgar' began to flood Ling Shuya's mind!

Ye Xiao turned to look at the furious Ling Shuya, and because of Ling Shuya's accusations, Zhou Yuyan, Shen Qiuyu, and Lan Lan all hurried out of the washroom, only to see that Ye Xiao's hand was still holding Su Yun's wrist!

Shen Qiuyu immediately frowned and asked Ye Xiao, "What are you doing?"

Unlike her previous joking demeanor, Qiuyu's face was stern, her expression one of rebuke toward Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao didn't take offense to Qiuyu's scolding but rather explained, "Miss Shen, you've misunderstood, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's explanation, Qiuyu grew even angrier and retorted, "Didn't do anything? Where is your hand now?"

Ye Xiao, surprised by Qiuyu's words, immediately looked at his hand; not expecting what he saw, and indeed, he was startled to find that he was still holding Su Yun's wrist!

Ye Xiao quickly let go and said at once, "Sister Su wasn't feeling well, so, I was checking her pulse!"

If Ye Xiao had mentioned checking her pulse earlier, there probably wouldn't have been any misunderstanding. But now, caught 'red-handed', to say he was checking her pulse—who would believe that!

"Excuses, always excuses!" Zhou Yuyan next to Qiuyu glared at Ye Xiao and said, "I always thought you were only flirtatious with your words, I never imagined you could be so vile!"

Ye Xiao felt truly at a loss for words and said, "Sometimes what you see with your eyes isn't necessarily the truth!"

"We believe our eyes, Sister Su, call the police if you must!" Ling Shuya said indignantly!

Su Yun was no fool and quickly understood what Ling Shuya and the others were implying. She hastily said, "You've all really misunderstood, Ye Xiao didn't do what you think!"

Lan Lan glared at Ye Xiao and remarked, "Ye Xiao, I've really misjudged you. Look at Sister Su, she's even worried about you being arrested by the police at this point. Ye Xiao, you need to reflect!"

Listening to their remarks, Ye Xiao knew that no matter how he explained, he wouldn't be able to shake off the label of a lecher, so he simply sat down on the couch, closed his eyes, and adopted an attitude of indifference to the events unfolding around him!

Seeing Ye Xiao closing his eyes as if a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, the ladies became even more convinced of their previous conjecture, and they started to judge Ye Xiao's moral character as if he had committed the greatest sin in the world!

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao sitting with his eyes closed and felt very upset in her heart. Wasn't this the same as Ye Xiao taking the blame for something? Moreover, what was more important was that it was about her!

"You've misunderstood!" Su Yun looked at Ling Shuya and the others, then turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I think it's better to tell them the truth."

When Ye Xiao heard Su Yun's words, he immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Have you decided?"

"I can't let you be misunderstood because of me," Su Yun sighed.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "It's fine; don't worry about it."

Although Ye Xiao said this, how could Su Yun not care? If it hadn't been for Ye Xiao, her meridians would surely still be damaged. It was because of Ye Xiao that her meridians were able to recover!

Su Yun, although not sure about the exact price of the Heart Cleansing Pill, was certain of one thing: it was immensely valuable. Most importantly, sometimes that thing wasn't even available for purchase, no matter how much money one had!

Su Yun said, "Go ahead, I trust they won't tell anyone."

Ye Xiao chuckled upon hearing Su Yun's words and said, "Forget it; let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat instead, otherwise, the food will get cold and won't taste as good."

In reality, Su Yun wanted to reveal the matters related to martial artists, which would have been fine because Shen Qiuyu, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan were now martial artists. However, Lan Lan wasn't one, and at least until she became a martial artist, she shouldn't know about these things. Sometimes, the less you know, the safer you are!

Seeing Ye Xiao still not allowing her to speak, Su Yun frowned slightly.

Ling Shuya and the others, watching the conversation between Ye Xiao and Su Yun, felt quite puzzled and began to doubt their previous suspicions. However, how to explain the torn clothes and underwear?

Ling Shuya and others were genuinely baffled!

Ye Xiao looked at Ling Shuya and the others and said, "You all think too much. I can only say that things are not as you imagine. Eating comes first right now."

Although Ling Shuya and the other ladies still wanted to discuss the topic, after all, if their guess was correct, Su Yun was the victim. To continue would be a great blow to Su Yun.

Everyone sat down around the tea table. At this moment, because of the recent events, all of them sat with their heads down, and no one spoke. Seeing this, Ye Xiao felt a bit helpless. What was going on?

Faced with his own cooking, if there wasn't even a single person speaking up, it was an insult to his dishes!

"Come and have some soup!" Ye Xiao reached out and opened the lid of the pot, which contained a meat soup whose name he couldn't even recall, and suddenly, a rich aroma wafted out from the pot!

Immediately, everyone was surprised.

"It smells so good!" Several girls couldn't help but exclaim, and then even Su Yun looked up at Ye Xiao, clearly very skeptical whether the soup was really made by Ye Xiao.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion. "The aroma is nice, isn't it? Can't you smell it?"

Zhou Yuyan said, "We smell the soup, but are you sure you made it?"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ye Xiao immediately swore, "I swear, every dish on the table was made by me, including the soup!"

At Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Yuyan's face showed surprise, and she looked at the others!

Ling Shuya scooped up a spoonful, then poured it into a small bowl, and tasted it lightly, her expression changing instantly.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuyan quickly asked, "Is it awful?"

Ling Shuya didn't pay any attention to Zhou Yuyan but turned directly to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, is this really a soup you made?"

Ye Xiao, seeing Ling Shuya's surprise, felt secretly pleased, guessing what she was going to say next.

Ye Xiao replied, "Yes, any problem?"

Sure enough, after Ye Xiao spoke, Ling Shuya said with great surprise, "It's… it's delicious. This is the best meat soup I have ever had. It doesn't have even a hint of greasiness, and it's almost like a vegetarian soup. If it weren't for the slight meaty taste, it would be hard to tell what kind of soup it is!"
