”What a talent for courting death.”

Ye Xiu had already noticed Sun Shixin following him but had simply ignored it.

In the courtyard, Qin Qing and the others heard Ye Xiu muttering to himself. ”Who’s courting death?” she asked.

”You’ll know very soon!” Ye Xiu smiled slightly. ”Chloe, bring over the two men who were chasing the Blood Demon.” With that, he entered the villa.

Qin Qing and the others were baffled. They didn’t understand why Ye Xiu, having just returned, would immediately want to see those two men. What’s the use of meeting them if they can’t speak the same language?

Nevertheless, Chloe obeyed the order and brought the two men to the villa.

Upon seeing Ye Xiu, the two men from the Snow Region Forest grew furious. One of them launched into a rant, shouting at Ye Xiu in a fluent torrent of gibberish.

”#@$%...&!#”

Even though Ye Xiu and the others couldn’t understand him, they knew he was cursing.

”Ah, my brothers, my apologies for your suffering. It was all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding,” Ye Xiu chuckled as he stood up to untie the two men from the Snow Region.

Qin Qing and the others were dumbfounded. Since when were they brothers?

The two men from the Snow Region were also puzzled, unable to guess why Ye Xiu’s attitude had changed so drastically.

”Please, have a seat, brothers!” Ye Xiu warmly urged the two men to sit on the sofa, then gestured with his eyes for Qin Qing and the others to leave the room.

Once they had left, Ye Xiu spoke. ”You two can stop pretending. I know you can understand and speak the Xuanse language.”

Pusang’s fluency in the Xuanse language had been quite authentic, which clearly indicated the men from the Snow Region had undergone special language training.

”%$**&...” one of the Snow Region men spouted, pretending he didn’t understand what Ye Xiu was saying.

Still pretending? Not bad actors... Ye Xiu thought to himself, but asked aloud, ”You know Pusang, don’t you?”

The two Snow Region men were taken aback. Their reaction confirmed it: the two men indeed understood the Xuanse language, or they wouldn’t have reacted that way.

”Actually, Pusang and I are brothers,” Ye Xiu said, taking out his phone and showing them a photo of himself with Pusang. In truth, Ye Xiu had invited Pusang to take a photo with him for the sole purpose of entrapping these two men.

”This...”

Seeing the photo, the two men from the Snow Region were utterly dumbfounded. The person next to Ye Xiu in the picture was indeed Pusang. From Pusang’s expression, his eyes, and the way he posed with Ye Xiu, it was obvious that he not only knew Ye Xiu but also shared an unusually close relationship with him.

”You know Pusang? When did you two meet?” one of the Snow Region men asked in fluent Xuanse language.

Heh, so you do understand the Xuanse language!

”I’ve known Pusang for years. We’re not just friends and brothers; we’re comrades-in-arms,” Ye Xiu bluffed with a straight face. To prevent the two men from questioning him, he added, ”Of course, I met Pusang through Meng Yinwan. You know her, right? The elegant beauty who’s undercover at Kristina’s side.”

Now, the two Snow Region men had no more doubts about the relationship between Ye Xiu and Pusang. After all, if they weren’t close, Ye Xiu couldn’t possibly know Meng Yinwan, let alone such a top-secret matter as her being undercover with Kristina.

”So it really was a misunderstanding!” The two men from the Snow Region started to laugh. One of them said, ”My name is Nerut, and this is Polenga. Since you and Pusang are brothers, that makes you our brother, too.”

Ye Xiu then began to chat casually with Nerut and Polenga, cleverly fishing for information. Nerut and Polenga had completely let their guard down, treating Ye Xiu as one of their own and speaking without reservation. In less than half an hour, they had spilled everything.

The Judicator Families were indeed planning to eliminate all First Realm and Second Realm War Gods during the Mist Chant Martial Meeting. At the same time, Ye Xiu learned many other astonishing secrets from the two, the implications of which were chilling to the core.

”Young Master!” Just then, Chloe rushed in. ”Sun Shixin of the Sun Family is here with some people, and there are two unfamiliar women with him.”

He’s really asking for it.

Ye Xiu stood up and said to Nerut and Polenga, ”You two stay in here. I’ll go out and take a look.”

Nerut and Polenga were not happy to hear this. ”Brother Ye, if you’re in trouble, of course we’ll help.”

”Kristina is with Sun Shixin. It wouldn’t be good for her to see you,” Ye Xiu said.

Nerut and Polenga immediately understood what he meant. From their perspective, Ye Xiu was an enemy of the Judicator Families, but Kristina and the families didn’t know this yet. If Kristina saw Ye Xiu with them, his cover would be blown.

”You bastard, get your ass out here!” Sun Shixin’s voice roared from outside.

Ye Xiu walked out to see Sun Shixin standing there with twelve men wielding clubs, swaggering and bellowing. Meanwhile, Kristina and Meng Yinwan stood off to the side, watching the scene unfold with emotionless expressions.

When Meng Yinwan saw Ye Xiu emerge from the house, she was stunned for a moment. She truly hadn’t expected the person Sun Shixin was seeking revenge on to be Ye Xiu.

”That’s him! Beat him to death!” Sun Shixin commanded impatiently the moment he saw Ye Xiu.

At his order, the twelve thugs behind him began rolling their shoulders and swaggering toward Ye Xiu. Their faces were twisted in mocking, playful sneers, as if the twelve of them had him completely cornered.

”Sun Shixin, I truly envy you,” Ye Xiu taunted. ”You’ve evolved to have a brain but choose not to use it, and you even manage to look so carefree and proud about it...”

Seeing that Ye Xiu, instead of cowering and begging for mercy at the sight of his men, was actually mocking him in public, Sun Shixin flew into a rage. ”You still dare to insult me at a time like this?” he bellowed. ”Aim for his face! Smash his mouth in!”

”Right, Young Master Sun.” The twelve thugs raised their clubs and charged toward Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered to deal with such trash himself and was just about to order them to be beaten to a pulp. But at that moment, a well-dressed, middle-aged man jogged over, scolding, ”Shixin, what are you doing?”

Seeing the man, Sun Shixin was bewildered. ”Dad? What are you doing here?”

”You said you were holding a party tonight, so I came to personally invite Divine Doctor Ye,” Sun’s father said. ”What are you doing here?”

Sun Shixin’s mind went blank. He stammered, ”You... you said you’re here to invite Divine Doctor Ye? Ye Xiu lives here?”

”This *is* Divine Doctor Ye!” Sun’s father said, pointing at Ye Xiu.

”What?” Sun Shixin felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. The person he wanted revenge on was actually Ye Xiu?

He reflexively turned to look at Kristina. He had just been boasting about how close he was with Ye Xiu, and now he was eating his words. The humiliation was sudden and sharp.

Now Kristina must think I’m a boastful liar!

Thinking this, Sun Shixin hurried over to Kristina to explain. ”Kristina, listen to me, actually, I...”

”Explain, my ass!” Sun’s father ran up and slapped Sun Shixin across the face. ”How could I have raised such a good-for-nothing son?” he scolded. ”You’ve offended Divine Doctor Ye! Instead of apologizing immediately, you’re wasting time explaining yourself to some woman...”
