Chapter 84 Ye Xinyi’s Good Intention
After Xiaxiao left, Xiao Bing had not expected Ye Xinyi to be his next visitor.
Xiao Bing had thought that someone from the Ye Family would come by, but he had not expected it to be this woman.
Although Xiao Bing did not hate her, and he had not liked her at first. Xiao Bing tried to make peace with her because of Yezi. So, they did not see each other as an enemy at least, but he still hadn’t expected her arrival.
Xiao Bing was surprised when Ye Xinyi came through the door, “Ye Xinyi?”
Ye Xinyi was holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and some fruit in the other. All of her fellowmen were waiting outside. Seeing that Xiao Bing was surprised, Ye Xinyi spoke with a smile on her face, “What? You weren’t expecting me to come, right?”
“No, I didn’t.” Xiao Bing restored his composure and smiled, “Please sit. It must be a long way down here.”
“Not really.” After finding a place for the flowers, Ye Xinyi set the fruit on the nightstand and sat beside him. “How are you feeling?”
“Much better,” Xiao Bing said while smilingly, “I’m assuming I can leave the hospital in a few days.”
“You should stay for a few more days. Don’t push yourself too hard.” Ye Xinyi gave him a glance of concern. When Xiao Bing fixed his eyes on her, she suddenly lowered her head and almost buried her face in her chest. “Is she being shy?”
Appearing shy, Ye Xinyi spoke, “I always think of your relationship with my sister.”
‘There’s definitely another meaning. What did she come here for? Does she really have other purposes? Could it be that she fell in love with me and that’s why she’s so shy? Well, given my handsome face, that is a possibility.’
Xiao Bing cleared his throat and smiled, “Thanks for the concern. Don’t worry. The condition of my body is pretty good.”
“I’m relieved. So, you’re cool with me and there are no more misunderstandings, right?
“Of course. Bygones and, to be honest, nothing actually happened between us… I just had some problems with the Xie Family. Now that family is gone and it’s all in the past.”
“So… would you be willing to have dinner with me after you leave the hospital if I invite you?”
“Dinner?” Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment. “That won’t be necessary.”
Ye Xinyi looked up as if pleading, “If you are unwilling to come, that means you still haven’t forgiven me.”
“Well…fine, I’ll have dinner with you.”
“I’ll leave you then. Have a good rest.” Then she stood up and elegantly walked out. Her body was seductive and so was her gait. She even cast him a deep glance before she closed the door. Xiao Bing felt there was something wrong with this Ye Xinyi. “Did she really fall in love with me? No, I’m definitely being narcissistic.”
Over the next few days, Xiao Bing’s wounds healed quickly with Xiaoxiao and Yezi taking turns visiting him. They even came together after school. Since they had been spending more time with each other, they had formed a closer relationship. As the expansion was about to reach completion, Xiao Bing could finally leave the hospital.
The entire hospital staff was amazed by the speed of his healing because Xiao Bing had been on the edge of death just a week ago. In that week he had fully healed. Xiao Bing felt that the hospital might keep him for experimental purposes if he stayed any longer.
On the day Xiao Bing was supposed to leave the hospital, both Xiaoxiao and Yezi were unable to come and pick him up because they were taking their mid-terms. So, Bao Lei and Dumbass came and it was these two men that brought him home.
Xiao Bing’s only regret had been leaving the hospital before seeing that nurse again. He heard from the other nurses that she had a cold and was resting at home. Xiao Bing felt it such a pity that he would never see this pretty girl again.
Xiao Bing looked at Dumbass after they had left the hospital. “Let’s go to the noodle house.”
Then he said to Baolei, “Uncle Lei, thank you for keeping me company. I’ll buy you dinner when I have the chance.”
Looking at Xiao Bing, Bao Lei suddenly said, “Do you mind if I ask a question? Have you made progress again?”
“How keen is his observation!” Xiao Bing thought Bao Lei was at least a master of Transforming Strength stage. He did not know whether he was in the primary or the intermediate stage since Xiao Bing had not fought him. But masters of this stage were extremely rare in the whole country. Bao Lei must held a high position in the Ye Family. There were really unnoticed talants in the Ye Family.
Xiao Bing did not lie to Bao Lei, “I just achieved the Transforming Strength stage.”
Surprised, Bao Lei stared at Xiao Bing, “How old are you?”
“Twenty-six.”
“A 26-year-old master of Transforming Strength. You truly are talented in martial arts. The number of masters at this stage in the whole Black province is supposedly less than 10. I’m one of them and Master Hou had five of them, four of which are known as the Four Heavenly Kings, and the other one is Gongben Xinyi, who is the strongest among Master Hou’s fellowmen.
Xiao Bing was surprised, “He’s from R country?”
“Yes. He’s an unfathomable master of the sword. He’s far better than the four Heaven Kings. But, I haven’t seen him in a fight so it’s hard for me to know his real strength.”
Xiao Bing contemplated for a while and found a fact quite surprising, “According to what you said, there are less than 10 masters of the Transforming Strength stage and Master Hou has five of them?”
“Not only five. There is a guy called Qin San the Dark Crow, who is the general of Master Hou’s Crow Troop. He holds the most mysterious force of Master Hou. They are all masters of attacking and assassinating. He must be at the Transforming Strength stage as well.”
Xiao Bing put on a bitter smile, “It seems that all the great martial masters are under his leadership.”
“Basically that’s true. Of course, there are only ten masters of the Transforming Strength stage who are known by others. However, the greatest always hide among the busy streets and there may be other masters of the same stage that we don’t know about. Overall, the number is close.”
Xiao Bing sighed, “Master Hou has half of the great masters in the Black province, which makes him the king of this province’s underground, instead of the small Jiang city.”
“It’s not enough. You will know in the days to come.” Looking at Xiao Bing, Bao Lei said sternly, “I have a question. That night…the horrific power you showed is of what stage? I can’t believe that I can’t tell.”
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, “I don’t know what happened either. I’m still confused.”
“Just as I expected. I should leave. See you next time.”
“Bye!”
While watching Bao Lei as he strode away, Xiao Bing said to Dumbass, “This man is very powerful and I’m inferior to him. Not only is Master Hou’s force unfathomable the Ye Family’s strength is also as deep as the ocean.”
Dumbass scratched his head and asked stupidly, “Where should we go now? The noodle house?”
“Let’s go check on the process.”
Xiao Bing got in a taxi with Dumbass and he paid the driver when they arrived. The walls between the two structures were knocked down and the whole site had greatly changed. The workers were busy working when they walked in.
The foreman gave Xiao Bing a cigarette after he saw him coming. Xiao Bing took it and looked around. The space was at least twice as large as before. Except for the expansion of the hall, there were a few more private rooms. It seemed that the project was about to end.
Xiao Bing lit his and the foreman’s cigarette and asked, “How many days are left?”
“About three days. We are all at full speed as you asked and I can assure you that we haven’t taken any shortcuts. You can check on it.”
“Good,” said Xiao Bing smilingly, “You guys did a pretty good and fast job. I’ll give you the rest of the money if everything is good and I’ll take you to a feast afterward!”
The foreman laughed, “Boss, wait for the completion!”
After he finished checking, Xiao Bing said, “Keeping do your job, I’m leaving now.”
Xiao Bing had rented a small apartment around the noodle house for Dumbass before and Dumbass had been living in it. After walking out of the noodle house, Xiao Bing said, “Dumbass, stop following me around. I’m going home now and you should get some rest.”
“No, ” said Dumbass, “I’m not stupid. Doesn’t that woman want to kill you? What if she still sends men to kill you? I should keep protecting you.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Don’t worry. My body may not have recovered completely, but it’s still hard for them to kill me.”
“You’re still a patient and you should listen to me. I will send you home before I go back.”
“Alright. I don’t want to make it difficult for you.” While Xiao Bing was saying so, a limousine pulled over. Inside was a sexy woman who was wearing a loose t-shirt, loose cropped trousers, and high heels. She was wearing a white mask and big sunglasses, which made it difficult for them to see what she really looked like. But, one could still tell she was beautiful by her shape and elegant temperament. An ugly face wouldn’t be worthy of all that.
When she saw Xiao Bing standing in front of her, she took off her sunglasses instantly and seemed very surprised.
