After leaving the café, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a pent-up breath.

He wasn’t familiar with the Su family from Suzhou, but having someone in the family at the heart of the power hierarchy almost certainly meant they were from a wealthy clan.

With her protection, those from Shu Mountain would probably tread more carefully around Mei Hanqing.

After all, the Su family was not ordinary. If they targeted Mei Hanqing, the Su family would surely be displeased.

So, having Jian Yunong secretly protect Mei Hanqing, Ye Xunhuan felt quite at ease!

After parting ways with Jian Yunong, Ye Xunhuan didn’t wander around but went straight back to Huangtu Group. He couldn’t help but feel a headache at the thought of having to send off Dragon Ancestor Bodhi tonight, and also needing to take Mei Hanqing to meet Jian Yunong.

He was only one person, absolutely unable to split himself in two, and he had to handle this matter thoroughly.

Not long after Ye Xunhuan returned to Huangtu Group, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, having received the news, came in directly from outside.

Ye Xunhuan was not at all surprised by Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s visit; it was as if he’d expected it.

"What did the Dragon Head of Hidden Dragon want to talk to you about?" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi asked straightforwardly.

"Nothing much, just some idle chit-chat!" Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly, "Told me to tone it down, or Hidden Dragon would take action against me!"

"Didn’t they say anything else?"

"No!" Ye Xunhuan replied softly, "Just that I’ve been making too much noise lately. Otherwise, why would they come to talk to me about this?"

"But can you really blame me?" Ye Xunhuan said, somewhat annoyed, "If they hadn’t provoked me first, would I go looking for trouble with them?"

"That’s hard to say!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi said in a tone neither light nor heavy, "Every place you, the Marshal, have been to, has hardly ever been peaceful!"

Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was damn true!

"Well, no worries. As the Marshal, at most, they’ll just give you a verbal warning, and not necessarily get serious with you!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi said softly, "But it’s still better for you to behave. You once told me that not only Hidden Dragon is in Huaxia, but there are also ancient martial arts masters from other sects!"

Ye Xunhuan smirked sheepishly, not expecting that something he once told Dragon Ancestor Bodhi would now be thrown back at him.

"You don’t need to worry about this side. When are you leaving tonight?"

"Are you really going to send me off?" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi stared at Ye Xunhuan with wide, unblinking eyes, seeming to doubt whether he meant what he said about sending her off.

After understanding the underlying meaning in Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s words, a wave of frustration hit Ye Xunhuan. Did he look like a liar?

"Am I the kind of person who doesn’t keep his word?"

"Yes!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi stated very seriously, "You personally promised me before that you would go to Xumi Mountain to find me, but you never did..."

"Wasn’t I just too busy then?"

"And what about the gift you were going to give me for my birthday?"

"I happened to be occupied with something that day..."

"So, you see, you’ve always been one to break promises!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi huffed, "And also, I don’t need you to send me this time. It’s better to not keep false hope and be disappointed!"

"This time I will definitely keep my word. But what time are you leaving tonight?" Ye Xunhuan said solemnly, "If I’m lying to you this time, may I give birth to a child without a little... you know..."

Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s delicate nose twitched uncontrollably.

At this moment, she really wanted to throttle Ye Xunhuan, that bastard. A child without a little... what if it’s a daughter?

"If you had a daughter with a... that would be the strange thing..."

"Rest assured, I will definitely see you off!" Ye Xunhuan repeated his earlier words: "But when exactly are you leaving?"

"If you treat me to dinner after work and stay with me, then you’ll know!" Dragon Ancestor Bodhi deliberately played coy: "Alright, I’ll get going and busy myself!"

Before her voice even faded, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi had already left Ye Xunhuan’s office.

Watching the figure of Dragon Ancestor Bodhi departing, Ye Xunhuan let out a helpless groan in his heart.

Earlier at the cafe, Ye Xunhuan had also promised Jian Yunong to bring Mei Hanqing to meet her and have a meal together, but now Dragon Ancestor Bodhi also wanted him to treat her to a meal, and damn it, to accompany her until she left!

But in this world, there was only one Ye Xunhuan - he was completely unable to split himself into two!

Maybe reschedule with Jian Yunong for another day?

Time flew by quickly, just like a white steed flashing past a gap.

When it was time to leave work, Ye Xunhuan went straight to Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s office to find her.

This woman had traveled thousands of miles to find him, and even gave him some help. It would be completely unreasonable not to go and see her off.

Upon reaching Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s office, Ye Xunhuan directly pushed the door and entered.

After walking into the office, Ye Xunhuan was startled to discover that there was not a single person inside the office– it was completely empty!

This caused Ye Xunhuan’s brows to furrow slightly.

Where was Dragon Ancestor Bodhi? How come she wasn’t in the office?

Could it be that this woman had already left?

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan picked up his phone and dialed Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s number, only to be notified that Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s phone had been turned off!

With a slight sigh, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but wryly smile: "This woman actually really left without saying a word!"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t believe that Dragon Ancestor Bodhi had run into trouble, after all, this woman was no easy target.

With Dragon Ancestor Bodhi gone, and Ye Xunhuan not knowing her whereabouts, he had no choice but to contact Mei Hanqing; to follow through with his previous arrangement with Jian Yunong and take Mei Hanqing out to dine with her!

Just as Ye Xunhuan was preparing to contact Mei Hanqing, people from Shu Mountain also arrived at Jiangzhong City.

This time, it was the Supreme Elder from Shu Mountain – Yuan Ming!

As the Supreme Elder of Shu Mountain, Yuan Ming’s strength was profound, almost reaching a transformative realm, definitely stronger than Ku Rong and Ku Qiang by more than just a margin.

Otherwise, he would never have attained the position of Supreme Elder.

Yuan Ming was a silver-haired elder, but his complexion was ruddy, giving people the impression of an immortal aura.

This time, Yuan Ming descended from Shu Mountain for two reasons: one was to kill Ye Xunhuan and regain their reputation, and the second was to take the Taiji Seal from Ye Xunhuan’s hands, and he was determined to do so.

Of course, he also wanted to see for himself how powerful the ten lords of the underworld really were!

As soon as Yuan Ming stepped out of the airport, the chief of the Hidden Dragons had already received the news and furthermore, the chief had already sent people to find Yuan Ming, hoping to invite him over for a good chat!

And all of this, Yuan Ming was completely unaware of.

After leaving the airport, Yuan Ming hailed a taxi and disappeared without a trace.

But one thing is for certain, he would definitely go to find Ye Xunhuan!
