"There are some things better left unknown!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was indifferent.

"Alright!"

Shangguan Biyue nodded. She knew very well that since Xiao Tianyu didn't want to talk, no matter how she pressed, it would be no use. If he wanted to speak, she wouldn't need to ask at all.

"Biyue, you should head home first. This kind of thing won't happen again!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"I won't!" Shangguan Biyue shook her head, "I'm spending the night here today. I'll tidy up the room for you first!"

With that, Shangguan Biyue walked towards the bedroom in her high heels. After she left the office, a cold glint of ferocity flashed through Xiao Tianyu's dark eyes.

Xiao Tianyu hadn't sought the other party out, but since they had come to him…

"Tianyu, it's getting late, you should get some sleep!" At that moment, a voice came from the bedroom. Xiao Tianyu immediately withdrew his coldness and responded, "Okay!"

With those words, Xiao Tianyu walked towards the bedroom. After washing up, the two lay on the bed together. Shangguan Biyue found a comfortable spot on Xiao Tianyu's chest to rest her head.

Then, Shangguan Biyue looked up, her beautiful eyes glancing at Xiao Tianyu, "Tianyu…"

"Sleep!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"But…"

"Don't you even trust me?" Xiao Tianyu interrupted.

"Alright!" Shangguan Biyue nodded, "Tianyu, hold me!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, wrapping an arm around Shangguan Biyue's shoulder. But Shangguan Biyue was still uneasy, so she spoke up, "Tianyu, aren't you worried they will come again?"

"Don't worry, trust me, as long as I'm here, no one can harm you!"

"I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you, I'm afraid…"

"Trust me, okay?" Xiao Tianyu ran his right hand through Shangguan Biyue's hair, revealing a gentle smile. Shangguan Biyue said no more and, lying in Xiao Tianyu's arms, felt an inexplicable sense of security, and soon fell asleep.

The Ancient Martial World.

The Ancient Martial World is the Martial Arts World of Earth. Although the Ancient Martial World and Martial Combat Realm are similar, there are also significant differences.

The Martial Combat Realm is the Martial Hero World, a world inherited from ancient Huaxia, while the Ancient Martial World is somewhat like the Cultivation World, as long as one has enough martial talent, their future is limitless.

In the Ancient Martial World, martial powerhouses can raise their hand and summon clouds, wave their hand and bring rain. It's incomparable to the Martial Combat Realm.

There is an ancient treaty: people of the Ancient Martial World cannot invade Huaxia, or they will face divine retribution. Especially now, Huaxia has a history of 5,000 years; with dynasty changes and the passage of time, Huaxia's weapons have become known worldwide.

Although people of the Ancient Martial World are powerful, they are not immortals or gods; they are still human. Naturally, they are also wary of powerful nuclear weapons, so the Ancient Martial World has always maintained non-aggression with Huaxia.

Here, martial arts are respected, and as for planes and missiles, no one cares about them; as long as one possesses formidable martial force, they can govern everything.

Of course, the lifestyle here is no different from Huaxia, with countless commoners.

Moreover, currency in circulation in the Ancient Martial World is not the yuan, but Ancient Coins.

The largest denomination of Ancient Coins is 100, and inscribed on it are the words Emperor Star. Emperor Star is the largest academy in the Ancient Martial World, a ten-thousand-year legacy with over 100,000 branches widespread throughout the ancient realm. Almost every populated place has an Emperor Star Academy Branch.

As for the main campus, it's located in the Imperial Capital of the Ancient Martial World. A few years ago, the principal was replaced, but no one knows who the new principal is. To everyone, the new principal is a myth, with rumors suggesting his cultivation has surpassed the Saint Heaven Realm and stepped into the legendary Supreme Ultimate Realm.

There are also rumors that the Supreme Ultimate Realm can reach the heavens, one step away from becoming an immortal. But that's just a rumor; no one knows if it's true. Regardless, the principal is the most mysterious figure in the Ancient Martial World, unseen by anyone.

The martial realms in the Ancient Martial World are as follows: Saint Heaven Realm, Celestial Level, Earth Level Realm, Profound Level Realm, Yellow Level Realm, the five great realms.

Each realm is further divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak.

Ancient Martial World, Fengzhou City.

Fengzhou City is a small city within the vast million miles of the Ancient Martial World. Though a small city, it spans several thousand miles, enduring countless years of time—dating back to ancient times when it already existed.

Today, after the passage of eras, skyscrapers abound here. Even at night, the brightly lit streets are bustling with people.

In Fengzhou City, there are four great families: the Eastern Xiao Family, the Southern Ouyang Family, the Northern Nangong Family, and the Western Zhuge Family.

These four families guard the entirety of Fengzhou City, all equally rooted, and family disciples often clash. However, the high echelons of the family forbid interference in the disciples' conflicts.

Within the estate of the Ouyang Family, one of the four great families.

The Ouyang Family is located in the southern city of Fengzhou. Their estate covers hundreds of thousands of square meters, with countless pavilions, grand and magnificent.

At this moment, within a secret room of the Ouyang Family, a young man sat with thick eyebrows and large eyes, a square face, and a dignified expression. His deep eyes were intimidating, even when sitting there, emanating an intense pressure.

Clearly, this man is accustomed to power.

This man is indeed Ouyang Ba, the clan leader of the Ouyang Family.

He looked at a man dressed in black. This man appeared somewhat pale. If Shangguan Biyue were present, she would recognize him at first glance because this man was the one who had kidnapped her.

"Why did you return empty-handed and injured? What happened?" Ouyang Ba asked.

"There was an expert secretly protecting Shangguan Biyue, so..."

"So you were helpless, right?" Ouyang Ba's voice was powerful, "Do you mean to say you couldn't capture an ordinary person, or did you simply not care about the task at hand?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"Then tell me, what does the person behind Shangguan Biyue look like?"

"I don't know!" the man in black replied, "I didn't see him; it only took a sound wave to injure me. I estimate he is at least an Earth Level Realm expert!"

"Forget it. We'll set this aside for now!" Ouyang Ba waved his hand, "You've been hiding in Huaxia for quite some time. Have you found any trace of Shaojue?"

Ouyang Ba was referring to Ouyang Shaojue, who, at the Celestial Universe International Hotel, had led many Ouyang Family experts to encircle Xiao Tianyu, only to be killed by him on the spot.

Hearing Ouyang Ba's question made it evident he didn't know Ouyang Shaojue was already dead.

"No trace found!" the man in black shook his head, "Moreover, Shenyang and Ouyang Shao's eight guardians have all disappeared. It's very likely..."

"Very likely what?"

"Very likely they met a tragic end!" the man in black said.

"What?"

Ouyang Ba suddenly stood up, a surge of murderous intent sweeping over. Ouyang Shaojue was one of his several sons, quite talented, even considered a dazzling prodigy in the Ouyang Family with great potential to enter Emperor Star Academy for cultivation.
