Zhao Dapeng nodded immediately after he heard Ye Xiao's words, indicating that he would definitely find out the information Ye Xiao wanted to know as quickly as possible!

Ye Xiao was really beginning to realize just how small this world was. It looked like he needed to be even more cautious from now on. Moreover, he had no idea where those Martial Artists who were after the Heavenly Book were located. Ye Xiao suddenly realized that he had so many things to do. It seemed that quickly improving his strength was absolutely necessary. Ye Xiao decided that he must seriously engage in Dual Cultivation in the near future!

The expression on Ye Xiao's face changed rapidly, and everyone could see the change in his complexion after he received the phone call.

"What's wrong?" Ling Shuya asked Ye Xiao with a puzzled look.

Ye Xiao flashed a slight smile; he didn't plan to tell Ling Shuya about those things because he knew there was no benefit in letting her know.

"It's nothing, let's go. I don't even know if the bank closes at noon!" Ye Xiao glanced at the time—it was already eleven.

"We should still make it in time!" Ling Shuya said.

After leaving Minghai Academy, they immediately headed towards the vicinity of Q Rui. Ye Xiao wasn't very familiar with the bank branches in Minghai City, but luckily, he had two beauties who were quite familiar with Minghai City beside him.

"It's Yan Country Bank. Um, two streets from here, there seems to be a rather large Yan Country Bank branch." Ling Shuya stated.

So, Ye Xiao quickly started up the Q Rui, and under the guidance of Ling Shuya, they soon arrived at the Yan Country Bank branch. At that time, it was a little after eleven, and the place was rather crowded!

Clearly, if he was to line up, it would take at least half an hour before it was Ye Xiao's turn, seeing as he had just received the queue number 1145, and the bank's system had just called number 1119.

That meant there were still 26 people ahead of Ye Xiao, and these 26 people might not complete their bank affairs swiftly. Chit-chatting and asking questions could cause delays.

However, Ye Xiao wasn't in a hurry, especially with two great beauties accompanying him, he knew how many people were envious, jealous, and resentful of his situation!

"Ugh, when will it be our turn, at the end of the world?" Ling Shuya was an impatient person; therefore, she was visibly unhappy when she saw the number in Ye Xiao's hand.

Ye Xiao felt helpless; this was a public place, and though he was quite capable of fighting, it wouldn't be right to act unreasonably. He could easily knock everyone in the place unconscious, but such a clumsy approach was something Ye Xiao would never do!

Ye Xiao looked around at the crowded place and said with a helpless expression, "Let's just wait; there's nothing that can be done about it!"

"Humph, how could that be possible!" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's helpless tone, Ling Shuya immediately said proudly, "This young lady never has to wait in line anywhere. You just wait here a moment; I'll make sure you get your business done quickly!"

"Ah?" Ye Xiao was surprised to hear Ling Shuya's words and quickly said, "Shuya, we are civilized people, please don't do anything uncivilized. Fighting is wrong!"

"When did I say anything about fighting? So nosy!" Ling Shuya didn't appreciate Ye Xiao's concern and immediately walked into the crowd.

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were both so beautiful that they could topple kingdoms and make flowers blush. Beauties of such caliber were bound to attract a lot of attention wherever they went, so when Ling Shuya entered the crowd with a beaming smile, almost everyone turned their eyes towards her. Obviously, they weren't interested in what Ling Shuya was doing; they only knew one thing—if they didn't take another look at such a beautiful girl, they would be punished by the heavens!

"What's she up to?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Yuyan with a puzzled face. He considered himself clever, but at this moment, he genuinely didn't have a clue as to what Ling Shuya was doing. As far as Ye Xiao was concerned, there were only two possibilities to get ahead in line: the first was by force, using martial strength to resolve everything, but that could lead to many unexpected troubles.

The second option was to do it gently, perhaps by asking someone kindhearted to switch numbers with him.

Ye Xiao believed neither of these options was feasible because the first would tarnish Ling Shuya's graceful image, which certainly wasn't something she would want. As for the second, it would involve humbly begging others, and even if they agreed, the proud young miss Ling Shuya would surely not partake in such actions.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, Zhou Yuyan couldn't help but giggle slightly, then looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Do you really not know what she's planning?"

Ye Xiao immediately answered with a clueless tone, "Of course, I don't know, what's up?"

"Have you never heard of the beauty trap?" Zhou Yuyan suddenly whispered to Ye Xiao with a sly laugh.

Ye Xiao was shocked to hear Zhou Yuyan's words and quickly frowned, saying, "Hey, that's not okay! Shuya shouldn't sacrifice herself just for my sake."

"Do you have so little faith in Shuya? Are you that naive to think that Ling Shuya would be at a disadvantage?" Zhou Yuyan gave Ye Xiao a disparaging look.

Ling Shuya was exactly the kind of person Ye Xiao knew her to be, but deep down, Ye Xiao really didn't want Ling Shuya's "beauty trap" to work on someone else, he felt it was a clear insult to Ling Shuya!

However, just at that moment, Ye Xiao noticed Ling Shuya approaching with a face full of smug satisfaction. In less than two minutes, he saw her holding a slip of paper, and that slip of paper was shockingly identical to the queue number he had in his hand!

Ye Xiao hadn't seen any queue number machines where Ling Shuya had just been, so where did Ling Shuya's number come from?

"How did it go?" Ling Shuya walked up to Ye Xiao, spread out the number slip with a proud look on her face.

Ye Xiao immediately took the number slip, looking at the number on it. Upon seeing the number, he was extremely surprised—it was 1120!

This meant that if the system called out again, then the owner of this slip could proceed with their business!

"Where did you get this?" Ye Xiao asked at once.

Ling Shuya replied smugly, "Don't worry about where it came from, the things I want always fall into my lap!"

But just as Ling Shuya was reveling in her triumph, a young man of average looks, slightly overweight, and with the appearance of a homebody, followed her.

"Miss, miss, wait a moment!" The homebody looked towards Ling Shuya as if she was the only person in the world.

Ling Shuya, upon seeing the homebody following her, looked at him in disgust and questioned, "What do you want?"

Seeing Ling Shuya's displeased expression, the homebody, embarrassed and unable to look her in the eye, stammered, "It's… it's like this, the phone number you gave me earlier—I tried calling it, but it's disconnected. Did you get it wrong?"

After hearing what the homebody said, Ye Xiao and Zhou Yuyan exchanged glances. By this point, even a fool could see that Ling Shuya had indeed used her charm, and what was even more lethal was that she had used it on this slightly introverted homebody!

A typical homebody is absolutely helpless against a beauty trap, and so, this homebody had fallen!

Ling Shuya immediately retorted, "Who asked you to call? Just leave, go handle it at another branch."

The homebody couldn't help but look up at Ling Shuya, hurriedly lowered his head again as if he had made some mistake, and quickly said, "Miss, could you please repeat the phone number? I'll follow your instructions!"

Hearing the homebody's words, Ye Xiao and Zhou Yuyan couldn't help but chuckle lightly—the guy was indeed persistent.

At this point, Ling Shuya, seeing Ye Xiao and Zhou Yuyan laughing, immediately felt they were mocking her, but she dared not voice it out, wondering what this was all about!

Earlier, Ling Shuya had indeed employed a little bit of her charm, and coincidentally, queue number 1120 was in the hands of a homebody, which was amusing in itself. This homebody was the kind of guy with no immunity to a beautiful woman, who fantasized about fictional characters at home every day. Today, he had an unexpected encounter with Ling Shuya, an absolutely stunning beauty. He accepted all her suggestions—his only condition was to get her phone number. Ling Shuya promptly and neatly gave him a fake number, which, to no one's surprise, turned out to be disconnected—hence this comical scene unfolded right before their eyes!

Naturally, Ling Shuya wouldn't reveal her actual phone number to this homebody. However, if she didn't, and this guy insisted on getting his queue number ticket back, wouldn't she lose face? After all, she had been quite proud in front of Ye Xiao. If the ticket she secured was taken back, wouldn't that be like slapping her own face?

"Fine, I'll say it once and only once. If you can remember it, then good for you; if not, there's nothing I can do," Ling Shuya declared.

The homebody, overflowing with excitement upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, truly felt like he was on a streak of good luck that day. His goddesses had always emerged from his fantasies, but today, his goddess had appeared in reality—how could the homebody not be thrilled? After all, he was quite confident in his memory!

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely remember it!" the homebody eagerly pledged.

Ling Shuya quickly spat out a phone number in a rapid-fire manner, to the point of being somewhat indistinct.

"Did you get it?" Ling Shuya was sure that the number she uttered was impossible for anyone to catch.

However, the homebody excitedly exclaimed, "Got it, I got it, miss, I will definitely contact you!"

"Don't contact me within the next ten minutes!" Ling Shuya coldly warned the homebody, who claimed to have remembered the number.

The homebody quickly nodded in agreement, then scurried off, but not without taking one lingering, reluctant look back at Ling Shuya.
