"Master Yuan Hui!" Tang Heng saw the person before him was Yuan Changsheng, and immediately looked at him with great respect and greeted him.

Yuan Changsheng's expression also once again returned to a cold, stern demeanor, as he looked at Tang Heng and asked, "Are you friends with Ye Xiao?"

Tang Heng replied honestly, "Consider me a friend. Although I want to be friends with Ye Xiao, he doesn't seem to have that intention. Perhaps he needs to test me first."

"Test you?" Yuan Changsheng raised an eyebrow at Tang Heng and said, "Are you trying to be his friend, or his subordinate?"

Tang Heng immediately found himself at a loss for words, as he didn't know Yuan Changsheng's thoughts at the moment. After all, as a disciple of the esteemed Purple Fire Sect, opting to be someone else's right-hand man would greatly upset the elders of the Purple Fire Sect, and would be considered a disgrace to the sect's prestige.

Yuan Changsheng, although aged, was wise and looked at Tang Heng, saying, "Ye Xiao is a man capable of accomplishing great things. Historically, any lord or prince could not reach their achievements without capable leaders and soldiers. Being one's self-call means having a keen insight, foresight, and self-awareness. Being a ruler is a destiny ordained."

Tang Heng listened to Yuan Changsheng's words, and was immediately filled with doubt and bewilderment. He could hardly comprehend why Master Yuan Hui suddenly decided to tell him so much, or what had happened between him and Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao is an extraordinary man. If you follow him, it wouldn't disgrace the Purple Fire Sect." After saying this, Yuan Changsheng headed straight into the Purple Fire Hall.

Tang Heng stood still, somewhat stupefied, evidently still unable to fully process the situation. Yuan Changsheng's words left him scratching his head.

It was only after Yuan Changsheng entered the Purple Fire Hall that Tang Heng finally reacted, murmuring to himself, "Kingship and noble generals!"

Afterwards, Tang Heng directly descended the mountain.

Yuan Changsheng was clearly assisting Ye Xiao. There were things he couldn't speak of too openly, but he knew that as a prominent figure of the Purple Fire Sect, Tang Heng was quite capable, with commendable talent and intuition. Having such a person to assist Ye Xiao in the future would certainly benefit him greatly.

And the words Yuan Changsheng just spoke could be considered as having enlightened Tang Heng.

After Tang Heng left the Purple Fire Sect, he went straight down the mountain and called Ye Xiao.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, Ye Xiao was the one he brought up the mountain, but Yuan Changsheng suddenly took action against Ye Xiao, which made Tang Heng truly fear Ye Xiao would misunderstand.

"Is there something wrong?" Ye Xiao answered the call calmly.

Tang Heng quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry, I didn't know Master Yuan Hui..."

"It doesn't matter; he was just sparring with me, it's no big deal!" Ye Xiao said, "I have a little matter to attend to, so I left first."

"Mr. Ye, please wait, I'm coming down the mountain now. I'll drive you!"

Ye Xiao said, "No need, let's meet another day."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Tang Heng felt his resolve, so he didn't say much further.

Ye Xiao hung up the phone, and after leaving the Purple Fire Peak, he went directly to their current base, the hotel.

In the room, Ye Xiao sat cross-legged, eyes closed, with Nine Yang True Qi coursing through his body. At this moment, Ye Xiao was focusing on cultivating Yang Gang's Golden Body. Although the cultivation of Yang Gang's Golden Body doesn't quickly increase the reserves of inner power true qi, it still improves and slowly refines the true qi to make the inner power true qi more pure. Because the main function of Yang Gang's Golden Body is to strengthen the body, Ye Xiao's physique is gradually being fortified, and his defense is naturally increasing.

Near six o'clock, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone to check, and it showed a call from Zhou Hao.

"Boss!" As soon as the call connected, Zhou Hao said to Ye Xiao, "The person has been safely delivered, and handed over to Mr. Jiang."

Ye Xiao said, "Quite quick; did you arrange for a flight in between?"

"Yes, boss. I was worried that running back nonstop might have some issues, so when we were at the rest area, we got off the car, which continued running straight to Yan Capital City, while Xie Jiantao and I took a plane directly to Bird City!" Zhou Hao said.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao was immediately satisfied. Zhou Hao's approach was effective in mitigating risks.

"Very good."

"Boss, I have a suggestion, if I may ask if it is feasible!" Zhou Hao said.

"Go ahead!" Ye Xiao said.

"Move Wang Luoxin's Seven-colored Lamp group to the Northern Territory, while the Blood Wolf Guards focus on defending Bird City." Zhou Hao proposed, "In terms of combat strength, the Seven-colored Lamp is collectively stronger than the Blood Wolf Guards. Bird City is currently safer than Han City." Zhou Hao said.

Previously, Wang Luoxin had proposed this, but Ye Xiao rejected it, as the Seven-colored Lamp staying in Bird City could effectively protect Xia Mingyue, Jiang Miaoke, and others. But Ye Xiao wasn't sure if they truly needed protection anymore, while Han City undeniably benefitted from the support of the Seven-colored Lamp.

Should the Seven-colored Lamp be moved to Han City? Ye Xiao was somewhat hesitant, contemplating for half a minute before saying, "Alright, let the Seven-colored Lamp go to Han City, and the Blood Wolf Guards all stay on defense."

"Yes, boss!" Zhou Hao replied.

"By the way, only let six members of the Seven-colored Lamp go. Ziyan doesn't need to come, she's a student now." Ye Xiao added.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Alright, I will inform Miss Wang."

After that, Ye Xiao talked with Zhou Hao about some other matters, and then hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao checked the time—it was already past six—and left the hotel.

This place is currently Ye Xiao and his team's base, where Ye Xiao usually stays to cultivate inner strength.

After leaving the hotel, Ye Xiao walked to a large food stall without paying attention to how far he had walked, only noticing more and more people around.

"Brother, what would you like to eat?"

As Ye Xiao sat down, a burly man from the Northern Territory smiled at him and asked.

Evidently, he was the owner of the food stall.

The food stall was one of those with a storefront and a tent outside. Perhaps because it was too cold outside, there were few people sitting outside, and those who were outside were mostly having drinks. Alcohol kept them warm, so they didn't feel cold.

Ye Xiao's current seat was also outside, although the tent's three sides were tightly closed, it was still quite chilly due to the Northern Territory winter!
