Ye Xiao spent the entire morning in the classroom seriously reading books, yet these weren't the books he was supposed to read. He hadn't listened to a single word the teacher said!

After school at noon, Ye Xiao didn't shamelessly go find Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan to have lunch together because Ling Shuya disliked people knowing she had bodyguards. Therefore, Ye Xiao could only do what other students did, things that students are supposed to do!

He still had lunch with Zhan Bo!

"Brother Xiao, that 'True Yang Skill' you gave me is really good. I practiced it for a full six hours last night, until 4 am before I slept. I thought I would definitely feel sleepy today, but surprisingly, I wasn't tired at all, and felt even more energized than usual. Moreover, during the last hour yesterday, I felt as if there was True Qi flowing within my body, faint yet discernible, but very little!" Zhan Bo whispered to Ye Xiao with a smile!

Ye Xiao said, "Your governor and conception vessels have completely opened. Cultivating 'Inner Strength' naturally comes as easily as channeling water to its course. Don't rush; you just need to practice diligently. Given some time, your 'Inner Strength' will rapidly improve. Right now, you've only cultivated 'Inner Strength' and haven't learned any Martial Arts. As long as you persist in practicing six hours every day, after a month, I'll teach you some Martial Arts. Then you'll naturally understand the wonders of this 'Inner Strength!'"

Zhan Bo excitedly said, "Brother Xiao, does that mean, with Martial Arts, I can unleash the power of 'Inner Strength'?"

"Exactly!" Ye Xiao said!

Zhan Bo immediately laughed, "Hehe, when that time comes, I must teach those who bullied me a lesson, hm!"

Ye Xiao just smiled slightly and said, "If others don't offend me, I won't offend them, but if others offend me..."

"Return it double!" Zhan Bo immediately responded.

Ye Xiao shook his head!

Zhan Bo, puzzled, said, "Isn't that what they say?"

Ye Xiao replied, "Our Qiu Mountain Sect's principle is, if someone offends me, return it tenfold!"

Zhan Bo was very surprised and said, "Brother Xiao, I understand now. I won't use Martial Arts to bully others arbitrarily, but I also won't let others bully me. Oh right, Brother Xiao, I have a question!"

Ye Xiao, while eating, said, "Go ahead!"

Zhan Bo asked, "Your Martial Arts are so powerful, why do you still need to attend school? You should be out making your mark on society!"

Ye Xiao responded, "Making a mark? Haha, that's not difficult. However, right now, I have more important things to do, which you also need to do!"

"What thing?"

"Now that you're a member of the Qiu Mountain Sect, there's no need to keep secrets from you. The reason I'm in this school is to ensure the safety of Ling Shuya, and besides cultivating and studying, you also need to help me protect Ling Shuya. Until Ling Shuya leaves the school, I don't want any mishaps befalling her!" Ye Xiao seriously told Zhan Bo!

Zhan Bo burst out laughing and said, "Brother Xiao, if you like Ling Shuya, just say you like her, why beat around the bush? And all this about protecting her, I think you just want to attract a few beauties. Brother Xiao, rest assured, as your disciple, the woman you like is naturally considered my mistress, and the heavy responsibility of protecting the mistress falls on me, Zhan Bo!"

Ye Xiao suddenly chuckled bitterly. How could this kid think in such a direction? However, upon reconsideration, since Zhan Bo thought this way, let him think so. After all, there's no need for too many people to know his own goals!

Ye Xiao responded, "As for the reason, don't worry about it. Just focus on protecting her!"

Zhan Bo replied, "Okay, no problem. But Brother Xiao, have you thought about this issue? Like today, you were off campus for several minutes and what if at that moment, I'm not in school either? What if someone harms Ling Shuya then?"

Ye Xiao answered, "I've thought about this problem. Hence, I plan to convert the people around us to our side!"

Zhan Bo immediately laughed, "Brother Xiao, how is that possible? Many people in school come from powerful backgrounds, and they probably won't be willing to help, not to mention many are like Han Fei."

"Why not? Do you not want to retaliate against those who bullied you? This is also an opportunity. Don't worry about the consequences; I'll take care of them!" Ye Xiao explained!

Seeing Ye Xiao's confident demeanor, although Zhan Bo was somewhat hesitant, thinking about himself possibly becoming a high-level Martial Artist in the future who needn't fear any so-called tyrants, he immediately nodded and told Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I'll follow your lead!"

Ye Xiao said, "Weii Yang seems pretty good, you can pull him in with us!"

"Did you teach him too?" Zhan Bo asked, puzzled!

Ye Xiao explained, "No, I didn't. And don't always think about using Martial Arts to fight others; that's not right. Using Martial Arts against ordinary people, you could easily cripple them, and that's not what I want!"

Zhan Bo chuckled and scratching his head said, "Brother Xiao, I'll remember that!"

After dinner!

Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo walked out of the cafeteria and happened to see Weii Yang and two other classmates changing into basketball jerseys. Weii Yang saw Ye Xiao and immediately greeted him with a smile, saying, "Brother Xiao, going to play basketball, are you coming?"

Before Ye Xiao could speak, Zhan Bo said, "Weii Yang, come here, I need to talk to you!"

Weii Yang looked at Zhan Bo and said, "What could you possibly want with me? The guys from Class Seven insist on challenging our class. If you want to be a substitute, go change into your jersey!"

After speaking, Weii Yang headed straight to the basketball court with his two companions!

Zhan Bo, seeing how Weii Yang had disrespected him, fumed, "This kid, showing no respect and even wanting me to be a substitute. Brother Xiao, I think we shouldn't bother with him, Weii Yang will probably not listen anyway!"

Ye Xiao didn't respond to Zhan Bo's comment but said instead, "Since we're free anyway, let's go watch the game at the basketball court!"

"Weii Yang's basketball skills are very mediocre, not worth watching!" Zhan Bo said!

Ye Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go, who knows, in the future, you might end up as brothers who live and die together!"

Live and die together?

Zhan Bo thought Ye Xiao's words were somewhat severe, but since Ye Xiao was both his big brother and his master, he agreed with whatever Ye Xiao said whether right or wrong!

When Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo arrived at the court, the game hadn't started yet, but both class teams were ready, and the area around the basketball court was filled with students, with many pretty female students in front, including Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan who were also there, shouting encouragement like 'Go Class One!'

Although Weii Yang wasn't good at studying, he was skilled at playing basketball. However, he really shouldn't have been the team captain today, but Han Fei, the usual captain of Class One's basketball team, was nowhere to be found!

Thus, Weii Yang had no choice but to step up!

At that moment, students around the field were cheering for their own classes!

The ten players were about to start their confrontation!

"Weii Yang? Haha, why are you leading the team today? Where's your boss, Han Fei? Tell him to come out; I don't want to win too easily today!" Class Seven's team leader, Zhang Liang, laughed loudly at Weii Yang!

Weii Yang gave a cold smile and said, "To deal with your Class Seven, our ordinary members will suffice!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's face darkened, and he coldly said, "Weii Yang, listen good today. If your Class One loses, then from now on, the flowers of Class One are free for our Class Seven brothers to pick!"

Upon hearing this, Weii Yang's face changed, and the students from Class Seven burst out laughing!

The meaning of Zhang Liang's words was clear to anyone with a normal way of thinking!

"This Zhang Liang is really detestable, saying such disgusting things!" Zhou Yuyan told Ling Shuya nearby.

Ling Shuya said, "Weii Yang's skills are okay; there shouldn't be a problem!"

Zhou Yuyan pointed towards the resting area of Class Seven and said, "That's what I thought before too, but did you notice there's an extra person in Class Seven's rest area?"

Ling Shuya immediately looked over to Class Seven's rest area, and saw a clean-looking young man changing his shoes!

Recognizing him, Ling Shuya was slightly shocked and said, "Chen Ming?"

Zhou Yuyan said, "Yes, Chen Ming. Although his basketball skills aren't great, his mere presence on the court will definitely make Weii Yang and the others somewhat fearful!"

"Who is he? Why would they be afraid of him?" Suddenly, Ye Xiao appeared next to Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan!

"Ah! How did you get here, appearing like a ghost!" Zhou Yuyan exclaimed, clutching her chest.

Ye Xiao said, "I just got here. Who were you talking about just now? He seems like a decent young man!"

Zhou Yuyan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and immediately said, "What do you know, judging by appearances can be misleading!"
