Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 77: No One Believes the Truth


Around 8:30 PM, Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya left Su Yun's house!

"Sister Su's cooking is really good, we should definitely visit her place more often!" Ling Shuya said somewhat wistfully to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Sister Su is also alone in Minghai City, why don't we find some time to have her stay at your villa? The villa is huge and empty anyway, and on occasion, she could cook us a meal. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Sister Su is alone in Minghai City? How do you know that?" Ling Shuya suddenly looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously and said, "You're not starting to have any ideas about Sister Su, are you? Let me tell you, Sister Su is the kind of woman who is pure and chaste. If you dare harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward Sister Su, see what I will do to you!"

Ye Xiao immediately looked earnest, he was just being kind, but he knew there was no use explaining to Ling Shuya. Regardless of how he explained, Ling Shuya would never think he was right!

The two slowly descended the stairs, then reached the front of Ye Xiao's Qirui car outside the residential building. Just as Ye Xiao was about to open the car door, Ling Shuya suddenly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Hey!"

Ye Xiao looked up at Ling Shuya, discovering that she was looking at him!

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled. Could it be she wanted to go home at this hour? He still needed to go to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, as Zhao Dapeng and Wang Qing were probably waiting there!

Seeing that Ye Xiao was looking at her, Ling Shuya immediately diverted her gaze and said, "Nothing!"

Ye Xiao was even more puzzled. What was going on with Ling Shuya? Why was she hesitating in her speech? Anyway, he didn't think much of it and just got into the car!

After closing the car door, Ye Xiao skillfully started the car and headed straight for the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. He spoke to Ling Shuya, "I'm heading to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. You stay in the car for a bit. I'll be right back!"

"Alone?" Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao.

"Yep!" Ye Xiao responded.

"That's not very safe. You're my bodyguard, after all. And your skills have improved. I should be your employer!" Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao unhappily.

Ye Xiao didn't care much about the other things Ling Shuya said but her mention of safety immediately made him also feel it might be unsafe, considering the Qirui was very fragile!

So Ye Xiao said, "Then stay in the bar for a bit. I'll be back quickly!"

"How come you're handling things at a bar? You don't have some sort of dirty secret, do you? Spill it!"

Ye Xiao thought to himself, "I'm here primarily because of you, treating this as if I'm catching a thief!"

However, Ye Xiao naturally didn't say his thoughts out loud, but said to Ling Shuya, "Of course not, I'm just meeting a friend at the bar!"

Ling Shuya just uttered an 'Oh' and then said, "Ye Xiao, can you tell me what those red things on you were today?"

Upon hearing Ling Shuya mention the blood stains again, Ye Xiao quickly smiled and said, "Didn't I say? That's just red ink!"

"Are you taking me for a fool? Who sprays themselves with red ink? Do you think red ink costs nothing?" Ling Shuya glanced at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You'd better not ask about this. Knowing too much isn't good for you!"

"What are you saying? What if you committed a crime? You are my subordinate right now, and I need to know whether my subordinate has a criminal record. Otherwise, how could I feel safe?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I killed someone before, and that was the blood they spit out. Is that good enough?"

Ye Xiao was telling the truth, but how could Ling Shuya believe that? She immediately assumed Ye Xiao was just fooling her, and said angrily, "Ye Xiao, can you just answer what I ask you? Why don't you say you destroyed the planet? Do you really think you're a Super Saiyan?"

Ye Xiao looked even more innocent and said, "I'm telling the truth!"

"If I believe you, I'd be the biggest fool in the world. If you don't want to say it, then don't, but why tell such a pointless lie?" Ling Shuya said with a frown, "Just get out of the car already!"

Ye Xiao felt helpless. This woman's mind was truly hard to grasp. He was clearly telling the truth, yet she still thought he was brushing her off!

They got out of the car and walked into the bar, one in front of the other, with Ling Shuya naturally walking ahead. Ling Shuya would definitely not allow Ye Xiao, her subordinate, to walk in front of her!

Ling Shuya's skin was like creamy jade and her bright eyes and white teeth complemented her stunning beauty. Upon her entrance to the bar, countless gazes immediately converged on her, each one fervently tracing the contours of her shapely figure!

A beauty is always popular in any era, hence, many rakish men wanted to approach Ling Shuya as soon as she appeared.

"Hey, beautiful, what would you like to drink? It's on me!" a drunkard with fiery red-dyed hair said as he approached Ling Shuya, the redness of his face almost reflective, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets as he greedily ogled her!

"Get lost!" Ling Shuya was in a bad mood at that moment, and the drunkard was out of luck!

The drunkard, far from being angry, chuckled and patted his chest proudly, saying, "I am rich, you name it—three thousand or five thousand. As long as I'm happy tonight, no matter how much it costs, I'm willing to spend!"

'Snap!'

A crisp sound resonated on the drunkard's face, naturally delivered by Ling Shuya. After slapping him, Ling Shuya proceeded into the bar, her actions declaring to everyone that if one wished to pluck a thorny rose, they must be ready to endure the pain!

The slap brought some sobriety to the drunkard's mind, but he immediately became enraged!

"You filthy woman, how dare you hit me?" the drunkard shouted furiously, and stormed forward to grab Ling Shuya!

But just as he staggered forward a couple of steps, suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder!

Out of instinct, the drunkard turned his head to see a young man, not very old, of average height and somewhat skinny!

If it had been a burly and robust man, perhaps the drunkard would have been intimidated, but the man before him seemed so weak that a breeze might knock him over. Capitalizing on his drunken bravado, the drunkard cursed, "Damn it, who told you to touch me, do you f***ing want to play the hero saving the... the beauty? Shit, I'm going to beat you into a pulp first today!"

While cursing, he swung his fist directly at the young man!

The young man was none other than Ye Xiao, and as Ling Shuya's bodyguard, how could he allow anyone to lay a hand on Ling Shuya? Not to mention this man was a scoundrel—a veritable parasite of society—thus, Ye Xiao felt compelled to step in and root out the troublemaker!

The drunkard's punch was fierce, and it quickly aimed at Ye Xiao's face; however, just as it was about to reach him, suddenly, Ye Xiao's seemingly limp arms shot up like lightning and grabbed the drunkard's fist!

"Brother, coming to the bar is for fun and enjoyment, not for fighting!" Ye Xiao spoke as he slightly increased the strength in his grip, causing the man to immediately start howling in pain. His cries attracted the attention of the bar's bouncers!

"What's going on? Stop making trouble!" a stern-faced young man walked over with a dark expression.

Ye Xiao released the drunkard's fist, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "If you don't want trouble, then take care of this customer!"

With that, Ye Xiao walked directly toward Ling Shuya. Clearly, in this mixed and chaotic place, sticking close to Ling Shuya was the safest option for both of them. Just like earlier, who knew what might have happened if Ye Xiao hadn't been with Ling Shuya?

Seeing Ye Xiao's daring attitude, the young man glared at the drunkard and said, "What's the matter with you? Can't keep your eyes off a beautiful woman?"

"Brother Biao, this guy is obviously here to cause trouble in the bar. Who knows, maybe he'll provoke someone else later. Aren't you going to do something about it?", the previously drunken man, now fully sober, felt his hand throbbing painfully as if clamped in a vise!

Upon hearing the drunkard's words, Zhang Biao looked back at Ye Xiao, thinking to himself that this was really lawless, considering this was his territory!

With that thought, Zhang Biao strode towards Ye Xiao, covering the ground in a few rapid steps and then swung his foot directly at Ye Xiao!

How could Ye Xiao not be aware of Zhang Biao's incoming kick? In fact, he had sensed Zhang Biao approaching him from the beginning, but had deliberately feigned ignorance. Now, as Zhang Biao suddenly kicked at him, Ye Xiao swiftly spun around and delivered a sweeping leg kick!

Zhang Biao was instantly kicked to a nearby bar table. The table was not made of sturdy material, and as Zhang's Biao's body crashed onto it, only a crashing sound was heard as the table broke into pieces, startling several people who were drinking there to instinctively stand up!

Zhang Biao was a minor boss at the bar, usually, he was the one teaching others a lesson, but today, surprisingly, he was the one being taught, and painfully so!

The other bouncers in the bar immediately advanced, surrounding Ye Xiao!

"Stop!" A stern, resounding voice came through, causing the advancing bouncers to instantly halt and look bewilderedly at the speaker, but as they recognized him, surprise registered on their faces, and they quickly bowed their heads in unison, "Brother Wang!"

The person who had arrived was none other than Wang Qing, accompanied by Zhao Dapeng!

Wang Qing glanced at Zhang Biao, who was in agonizing pain on the floor, and snorted coldly, saying, "What are you doing here? Are you here to incite trouble? Your main job here is to ensure the safety of the customers. Where does it say you should attack them? Don't you all know that the customer is king?"

"But, they beat up Brother Biao!" a lackey immediately exclaimed in surprise!
