The hall was in disarray, the west wing silent. Everyone looked at Ye Qiu with shock and fear.

"Oh ho?" At this moment, Wu Xiaokai, pulling up his pants, came down from the second floor.

He had been working for over three hours.

Quite capable!

Walking downstairs, he glanced at Ye Qiu, confirming he was unharmed, and breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing the disheveled state of the hall, his expression changed slightly.

He walked up to Ye Qiu and lowered his voice, "Brother Ye, did you just beat up half of South Capital!"

Those people were all disciples of great clans and Noble Families, practically controlling half of South Capital.

"I beat up great clans on purpose!" Ye Qiu said indifferently. If he didn't make a move, wouldn't these people still look for trouble?

Wu Xiaokai gave a wry smile and said, "The one in purple, his older brother is Chu Qianqiu."

"Is he famous?"

Wu Xiaokai blinked in surprise, "You don't know?"

Ye Qiu shook his head.

Wu Xiaokai explained, "He's the Chu family's Young Master, the Academy's top student!"

Ye Qiu's eyes flickered slightly.

What does 'top student' mean?

The head of the Ten Core, the leader among students, number one on the South Province Ranking!

The universally acknowledged number one prodigy in South Province!

"Let's go quickly." Wu Xiaokai grabbed Ye Qiu and headed for the exit of Listening Wind Tower.

It was better to return to the Academy. Here, if that number one prodigy came, they wouldn't be able to handle it!

"Ye Qiu, my brother will absolutely not let you go, absolutely not..." The purple-clothed man, whose face was no longer recognizable, roared furiously, "I will definitely get you, definitely!"

Ye Qiu, who had already walked far away, paused upon hearing this voice, then he abruptly turned around.

The moment the purple-clothed man struggled to get up, Ye Qiu reappeared and delivered a kick.

BANG--

The purple-clothed man's eyes widened, his face turned red, and then he clamped his legs together. The next moment, he started bleeding.

It's broken!

Absolutely broken!

Ye Qiu didn't even look back. He turned and left, coming to Wu Xiaokai's side and saying, "Let's go, home to sleep."

Wu Xiaokai was stunned again and followed, "Brother Ye, you're really not scared?"

"I'm not even afraid of Lu Li, why would I be afraid of him?"

Ye Qiu snorted. In his heart, Lu Li was the biggest threat, the most ferocious one!

Moreover, he knew very well that even if he hadn't made a move, they wouldn't have let him off.

Since that was the case, why not take a little more interest?

It was all the same in the end!

The two left Listening Wind Tower. Just as Wu Xiaokai was about to speak, he was stunned by the figure in front of them.

Dressed in a white dress, tall and slender, the woman was bathed in the hazy moonlight, looking calmly in their direction.

Lu Li!

Wu Xiaokai froze, then glanced sideways at Ye Qiu, who also stiffened, his fists clenching slightly beneath his sleeves.

Didn't this girl plant a tracker on me?

How does she always find me so accurately!

"Was it fun?" After a moment of silence, Lu Li's voice rang out, clear and light.

Ye Qiu remained silent.

Wu Xiaokai's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "Uh, sister-in-law, we were just here for a drink, nothing else, really!"

Lu Li ignored him, her gaze fixed on Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu, on the other hand, stood on guard, ready to run at any moment!

He remembered the time he went to a brothel in Nanshan and was caught by Lu Li, who chased him with a sword for three days and three nights.

Even now, thinking about it made him furious.

However, this time Lu Li didn't make a move, nor did she show any particular reaction.

After a brief moment of eye contact, she said, "Let's go home."

Ye Qiu shook his head, "You go back, I'm going to Wu Xiaokai's place tonight."

What if she tries to chop me in the middle of the night?

Lu Li's gaze shifted slightly, looking towards Wu Xiaokai, and she asked, "Do you have room at your place?"

Wu Xiaokai thought it over and then asked, "Is there, or isn't there?"

Bang--

As soon as his voice fell, he was sent flying. Lu Li stood where he had been and asked, "What about now?"

Wu Xiaokai got up from the ground, baring his teeth as he rubbed his chest, then decisively and resolutely shook his head repeatedly.

Lu Li looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "Can we go home now?"

Ye Qiu's expression was very, very grim. "No!"

Bang--

Lu Li flashed again, and Wu Xiaokai was sent flying for the second time.

His bones felt like they were going to break.

He was completely bewildered.

What did I do?

Ye Qiu clenched his fist.

Just as he was about to speak, Wu Xiaokai quickly got up and grabbed Ye Qiu's hand. "Brother, I'm begging you, don't say it!"

Ye Qiu said, "Don't be afraid!"

Wu Xiaokai said, "Brother, it really hurts!"

Ye Qiu glanced at him. "Even though you brought me here, don't worry, I absolutely won't drag you down!"

Wu Xiaokai: "..."

Slap--

He was sent flying for the third time.

He got up, baring his teeth, and didn't even look back. He just ran, at his absolute limit!

Even a Body Cultivator couldn't handle a strong woman!

And your schemes are just too deep.

I'm an honest kid from the mountains, I really can't deal with you guys!

"Let's go." Lu Li turned and strode forward. Ye Qiu paused for a moment before following.

He kept a close eye on the woman, or more accurately, on her sword.

Fortunately, Lu Li didn't make any unusual moves all the way back to Green Moon Mountain, not even saying a word.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't say anything either. When they reached the summit, he went straight back to his room.

Lu Li followed him in and asked, "Was it really that fun there?"

Ye Qiu remained silent.

Lu Li asked, "Are they more beautiful than me?"

Ye Qiu looked up slightly.

Lu Li asked, "What are you after?"

Ye Qiu said, "I was just curious about the courtesans there."

Lu Li fell silent. The next moment, she turned and left directly.

Ye Qiu instinctively wanted to say, I didn't do anything, I didn't even see a single courtesan... but the words caught in his throat, and he wisely swallowed them back.
