After the ordeal at Northern Manor, Su Xiaoxiao now realised that there was a hidden master, who was about her age and was living downstairs.
The apartment below Su Xiaoxiaoâs unit was rented out some time ago. As Lil Bei was responsible for protecting Su Xiaoxiao every day, he was familiar with the entire neighbourhood. Su Xiaoxiaoâs neighbour was a retired veteran. His family went to the South for a holiday after the veteran retired. Before Xiao Bing arrived in Jiang City, they had already moved out. A farmer was living below Su Xiaoxiao and had a good son. He just bought them a new apartment, so they wanted to rent this apartment out. Lil Bei took the opportunity to rent it.
Knowing that Lil Bei was living by himself and was her saviour, Su Xiaoxiao let him follow her whenever she left the campus. Lil Bei would always ferry her to and from school. Some of her good friends were curious and asked Su Xiaoxiao about her relationship with the shy handsome boy in private.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the room, kneeling by the desk and pursing her lips. Her mind was in a whirl.
Lil Bei was sitting in the room, reading a magazine. Lil Bei would usually leave when Xiaoxiao was about to turn in. Although he appeared rather outgoing, he rarely talked. He always appeared shy especially when Su Xiaoxiao was talking to him. Su Xiaoxiao couldnât comprehend that such a shy boy was a master who had killed many bad guys and protected her that night.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly walked out of the room and looked at Lil Bei, who was reading the magazine. She said, âLil Bei, tell me stories about Xiao Bing when he was in the army.â
Lil Bei put down the magazine. When he met Su Xiaoxiaoâs gaze, his face suddenly became hot. He smiled shyly yet brightly. He said, âI thought I have told you all about it.â â
âI want to listen to it now.â
Lil Bei wasnât good at rejecting people. He agreed and said, âThe army has strict regulations. There arenât many stories that I can share with you. What else do you want to hear?â
Su Xiaoxiao asked, âDoes Xiao Bing ever had a girlfriend?â
âEr⌠â Lil Bei shook his head.
âDoes⌠he ever had a lover?â
This question stumped Lil Bei. He hesitated and didnât answer.
âHe must have one⌠What does his lover do?â
Lil Bei scratched his head and seemed conflicted.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed, âRest assured. Everyone has their own past. I just want to know. Just tell me.â
âNo⌠I donât know which lover you are referring to.â
Su Xiaoxiao had no response.
Xiao Bing was hospitalised, but he didnât know that Lil Bei had betrayed him. After hanging up the call, Xiao Bing started thinking. This call could temporarily delay Master Hou. Otherwise, given his current strength and power, it would be difficult to deal with the furious Master Hou.
Without mentioning the rest, Master Hou still had three heavenly kings. The northern region was the smallest out of the four major regions in Jiang City. The other three heavenly kings had thousands of people and an unknown number of masters. Furthermore, Master Hou also had an unknown number of hidden masters.
Xiao Bing suddenly remembered. According to Bao Lei, Master Houâs Four Heavenly Kings were in the transforming strength stage. Xiao Bing had experienced the Peony Fairyâs prowess. Although she died in the hands of Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing admittedly won by sheer luck. He didnât know whether the other three kings were stronger or weaker than the Peony Fairy.
Master Hou also had a Black Crow Army. The leader of the Black Crow Army, Qin San, who was nicknamed âBlack Crowâ, was in the transforming strength stage.
He was inferior to Master Houâs Miyamoto Shinji, who was the most mysterious master from R country. According to the Bao Lei, the strength of Miyamoto Shinji was unfathomable and even he couldnât fathom Miyamoto Shinjiâs power.
Bao Lei was also in the transforming strength stage. If he was unable to fathom the personâs power, the person must be extremely strong.
There were so many cities in the whole of H Province. There were less than ten known masters who were in the transforming strength stage. Master Hou had five of them. Although the Peony Fairy was dead, he still had four strong masters, who were in the transforming strength stage. Hence, Xiao Bing had to first appease Master Hou.
Damn it. First was Xie Lun. Then was the Peony Fairy. Now I have to deal with Master Hou. He should be my last adversary.
Different situations call for different actions. Xiao Bing grasped Master Houâs character. As Master Hou was now seeking for talents, he wanted to use this opportunity to delay Master Hou. He could then slowly find a good strategy.
While Xiao Bing was in distress, Ye Tianming had already told Ye Bancheng about Xiao Bing, who almost met with a car accident after leaving Northern Manor. The reason why Xiao Bing told Ye Tianming was to let him know that Ye Xinyi was about to fall out with him. Hence, he couldnât be careless.
Apart from the accident, Ye Tianming told Ye Bancheng about his first encounter with Xiao Bing and the assassination.
Ye Banchengâs mouth twitched. He spoke with difficulty. He said, âWhat, what do you mean⌠You mean, itâs all⌠your⌠elder sisterâs⌠doing?â
Ye Tianming didnât say anything. Ye Bancheng was a smart person. Even though he couldnât get out of bed now and perhaps his thinking was slower than the average person, Ye Bancheng could still understand.
Sure enough, Ye Bancheng sighed and said, âDonât, donât let her.â
Ye Tianming said, âBut, is Father letting us kill each other? I canât do such a thing.â
There was a hint of gratitude in Ye Banchengâs eyes. He said, âNo⌠Itâs okay⌠The board of directors, the board of directors will⌠support you.â
Ye Tianming sighed and whispered, âAs far as I know, my elder sister has started to deal with the directors.â
âWh-what!â Ye Bancheng trembled continuously as he was very agitated. Liu Piaopiao hurried over and comforted Ye Bancheng. Ye Bancheng stared at Ye Tianming and said angrily, âSay.â
Ye Tianming said hurriedly, âFather, donât be too agitated.â
âSay!â
Ye Tianming smiled bitterly and said, âI have just gotten the news that my elder sister had colluded with East Heaven King. They have sent a large number of masters to capture all the directors. They are now at a villa in the suburbs. They are probably going to intimidate them and force them to transfer their shares!â
âPresumptuous⌠Your sister is too⌠presumptuous.â Ye Bancheng was initially indebted to her. However, he was extremely angry now. In his life, he couldnât tolerate others disobeying his will. Even though he was now immobile and had lost the ability to take care of himself, it was difficult for him to change his strong personality immediately. Furthermore, Ye Xinyiâs action was no different from a rebellion!
Ye Tianming said, âFather, Iâm unsure whether to say this. My elder sister and I are from the Ye Family. Hence, it doesnât matter who becomes the chairperson. Since my elder sister likes authority, why not let her be the chairwomanâŚâ
âWhat a mess⌠what a messâŚâ Ye Bancheng began to gasp for his breath. Liu Piaopiao hurriedly stroked Ye Banchengâs chest. Ye Tianming also hurriedly over and persuaded Ye Bancheng to calm down repeatedly.
Ye Bancheng finally caught his breath, but he was still wheezing. At the same time, he said, âNo⌠donât let your elder sister⌠be the chairperson⌠You are more benevolent than her⌠If you become⌠the sisters, sisters, sisters⌠will lead a good life⌠You will take care ofâŚâ
âIf she becomes⌠she is too ambitious⌠and too unscrupulous⌠Quickly go⌠and save the directors.â
Ye Tianming smiled bitterly and said, âEven if I listen to Father, I canât call the police. After all, we should not wash our dirty linen in public. Secondly, I donât know when my elder sister colluded with East Heaven King. Furthermore, my elder sister has Uncle Li as her backing⌠In the entire Ye Family, only Uncle Lei is stronger than Uncle Li. I am afraid that if I send someone over, I may not be able to save them.â
Ye Banchengâs hand trembled as he pointed at the door. He said, âSend, send Bao Lei, Bao Lei over⌠Kill⌠the people who stops.â
Ye Tianming was still hesitating. Ye Bancheng stared at him and said, âQuickly⌠goâŚâ
Ye Tianming sighed. He bowed respectfully and said, âAlright.â
When he bowed, Ye Tianmingâs gaze was somewhat strange.
Bao Lei left with Ye Tianming, as per Ye Banchengâs instructions. Two bodyguards, who were brought over by Ye Tianming, were left at the door, ensuring the safety of Ye Bancheng. Liu Piaopiao messaged Ye Bancheng. While massaging, she said softly, âBancheng. Donât think too much. I believe that things will be over sooner or later. After Tianming becomes the chairman, the siblings will live together peacefully.â
âI also, also hope so.â Ye Bancheng grabbed Liu Piaopiaoâs smooth tender fingers with his wrinkled hands. He spoke with difficulty. He said, âPiaopiao⌠itâs hard on⌠you.â
Liu Piaopiao laughed and said, âBancheng, donât say that. Iâm your woman!â
âNo⌠If, if one day⌠I pass away⌠you should remarry.â
âBanchengâŚâ
âListen, listen to me⌠if you want, want to, you need not⌠stay by me⌠everyday⌠Go and find a good man⌠and remarry.â
Liu Piaopiaoâs eyes reddened.
âI donât want to hold you back⌠You are still⌠young⌠I donât, donât want you⌠to suffer.â

Liu Piaopiao shook her head as her tears flowed down. âBancheng, I let you down. Donât say anymoreâŚâ
âListen to me. I have, have prepared⌠a sum of money⌠for you⌠There is a bank card⌠in your drawer⌠Itâs your account⌠fifty million dollars. You can withdraw it on the day of our marriage.â
Liu Piaopiao couldnât help but cry. This charming woman suddenly lied on Ye Bancheng and started to cry uncontrollably. She shed tears of emotion, tears of self-reproach and tears of regret.
