The night was as desolate as water!

When Ye Xunhuan returned to the villa, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

However, Qiu Ruoxi, Olivia, and Madam Wang had not yet rested; the three women were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Qiu Ruoxi looked visibly tired, nodding off now and then, but she still managed to resist the drowsiness in her heart, fighting to keep her eyelids open, watching TV listlessly.

As soon as Ye Xunhuan walked in from outside, Qiu Ruoxi's fatigue seemed to vanish, and she suddenly became much more spirited.

Noticing Ye Xunhuan's slightly disheveled appearance, Qiu Ruoxi furrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "What have you been doing? Why are you so dirty, and even your clothes are torn?"

Earlier, Ye Xunhuan had battled with Xuan Shuangzi and Qi Tiansheng. Although he ultimately defeated them, he didn't escape unscathed, and he looked quite battered, with multiple tears in his clothes.

As soon as Qiu Ruoxi spoke, Olivia and Madam Wang immediately turned their gaze toward Ye Xunhuan.

Noticing Ye Xunhuan's rather pale complexion, Olivia immediately spoke up, "Did you fight someone?"

Although Ye Xunhuan had killed Xuan Shuangzi and Qi Tiansheng, there was still a faint murderous aura and a very faint scent of blood about him.

Such things wouldn't be perceptible to anyone who hadn't danced on the scythe's edge of death regularly.

And Olivia, who not only often danced on the scythe's edge but also belonged to the Blood Clan, had an acute sense far beyond that of ordinary people when it came to the scent of blood!

Upon hearing Olivia's words, Qiu Ruoxi's heart was suddenly struck.

She had seen Ye Xunhuan in action before, and while such scenes couldn't be described as earth-shattering, they were like an explosive bomb in their intensity.

What kind of situation did he encounter?

Is he hurt?

In an instant, Qiu Ruoxi's heart leapt to her throat.

Ye Xunhuan had long since known it would be impossible to hide from Olivia. Now that Olivia had pointed it out, Ye Xunhuan wasn't surprised in the least, chuckling lightly, "I'll go take a bath first, then I'll talk about it!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan headed straight upstairs.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan refrain from saying more, Olivia, though somewhat suspicious, didn't press the issue, deciding instead to ask Ye Xunhuan later.

Olivia was well aware of Ye Xunhuan's capabilities.

But now, someone had managed to leave Ye Xunhuan in such a disheveled and exhausted state, suggesting they were no simple opponent.

Upon reaching the upper floor, Ye Xunhuan retrieved a pair of shorts and entered the bathroom.

Generally, the speed at which a man showers is comparable to how quickly a woman undresses, so Ye Xunhuan's shower was quick, and he soon emerged from the bathroom.

Just as Ye Xunhuan stepped out of the bedroom, he saw Olivia and Qiu Ruoxi!

Upon seeing them, Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "What are you two up to?"

At this moment, as Ye Xunhuan emerged from the bathroom, Qiu Ruoxi and Olivia fixed their eyes on him, with an air of conducting an inquisition.

"You fought someone!" Olivia stated bluntly, "The opponent was very strong, and you nearly exhausted your Inner Strength..."

"I swear you must be part bloodhound!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Olivia's words, somewhat irritated.

Olivia ignored Ye Xunhuan's comment and continued to question, "Who did you fight that pushed you to such an extent?"

Beside her, Qiu Ruoxi watched Ye Xunhuan seriously, waiting anxiously for his response, as if she feared missing a single word he might say.

Ye Xunhuan glanced at Olivia, then at Qiu Ruoxi, and after a brief pause, he said, "I ran into a fool on the way back who tried to block my path, so I sparred with him!"

"Just sparring?"

"Alright, I admit, it was a life-and-death struggle!" Ye Xunhuan conceded with a sigh.

"Who was it that forced you into such a state?"

Ye Xunhuan thought for a moment before speaking, "My wife has seen him, it was Qi Tiansheng, from an ancient martial arts family in Huaxia!"

"Qi Tiansheng?" Olivia was taken aback, "What the hell?"

Meanwhile, the image of that elegant man immediately surfaced in Qiu Ruoxi's mind.

Previously, Qiu Ruoxi had suspected that the other party might cause trouble for Ye Xunhuan because of Dongfang Shu, but she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"Did you kill him?" Qiu Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Yes, he wanted to kill me, but I didn't want to die, so I had to kill him!"

Regarding Qi Tiansheng's death, Ye Xunhuan didn't believe it could be kept a secret. Just as Xuan Shuangzi had mentioned before, the Qi family knew Qi Tiansheng came here.

In Jiangzhong City, the only person capable of killing Qi Tiansheng seemed to be Ye Xunhuan alone.

When news of Qi Tiansheng's death spreads, the Qi family will surely come looking for Ye Xunhuan, and then Ye Xunhuan won't be able to hide it even if he wants to.

"Did you leave any evidence?" Qiu Ruoxi asked worriedly.

Before Ye Xunhuan could answer, Olivia interjected, "What could he possibly leave behind? This guy is excellent at covering his tracks; if he doesn't want it, it'll be a cold case!"

Seeing Olivia speak with such certainty, Qiu Ruoxi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging a few more words with Qiu Ruoxi and Olivia, Olivia left Qiu Ruoxi's bedroom.

However, on her way out, Olivia called Ye Xunhuan to step out as well.

Once outside the bedroom, Olivia and Ye Xunhuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window upstairs.

Standing by the window, Olivia slowly opened her mouth, "It couldn't have been just Qi Tiansheng, right?"

Ye Xunhuan gave a wry smile, "Seems I can't hide anything from you!"

"It's not that you can't hide it from me; it's that I know your strength!" Olivia said with full seriousness, "Even if Qi Tiansheng were strong, how strong could he possibly be?"

"The Celestial Realm is already the limit; beyond that, the guardians wouldn't allow them to roam freely here, and each person's movements would have to be recorded with the guardians!"

Olivia, being part of the Blood Clan, had a long life and had spent time in Huaxia, so she knew more about the guardians' matters and rules than Ye Xunhuan did.

"One person in the Celestial Realm couldn't push you to such a state!" Olivia said with certainty, "There must have been others, right?"

"Olivia, if I killed a guardian, what would happen?" Ye Xunhuan asked quietly.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Olivia's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and indescribable shock!
