Tang Heng was slightly taken aback upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, and quickly looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Ye?"

"Not much, I'm just asking if you know." Ye Xiao said.

Tang Heng said, "Of course, I know that. Most martial artists are familiar with that name, and it's a very terrifying existence. Unfortunately, it's an enemy of my Yan Country."

"What's your opinion?" Ye Xiao looked at Tang Heng.

Tang Heng asked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Ye?"

"About the Soul Sect, are you willing to become friends?" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Of course, I mean if they were to extend an invitation to you."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Tang Heng's face darkened immediately. He squinted at Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye, could you possibly have a connection with them?"

At that moment, Tang Heng's expression was entirely as if he was looking at an enemy.

Ye Xiao looked at Tang Heng, sighed, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and said, "You don't need to take my words too seriously; I'm just asking."

Tang Heng looked at Ye Xiao, truly not understanding what Ye Xiao meant, because, by the implication of Ye Xiao's words, it was clear that Ye Xiao might be from the Soul Sect. But how could Ye Xiao be from the Soul Sect? And if Ye Xiao was indeed from the Soul Sect, why did Yuan Hui from the Purple Fire Sect hint for him to make friends with Ye Xiao? What does that mean?

Could it be that Yuan Hui also has connections with the Soul Sect?

At that moment, Tang Heng's mind was constantly flooded with whys, but he couldn't figure them out.

Although previously, Tang Heng was very determined to follow Ye Xiao, but if Ye Xiao really belonged to the Soul Sect, then he really needed to think things over thoroughly. Though the people of the Soul Sect and the martial artists of Yan Country were both martial artists, compared to the members of the Purple Fire Sect, it's different, hugely different.

Nineteen years ago, the Ten Great Sects of Yan Country united to oppose the Soul Sect, and it was only when Xiao Lingyun disappeared that the crisis in Yan Country was resolved.

So, to seriously discuss this, the Soul Sect bears grudges with not only the Ten Great Sects of Yan Country but also many smaller sects. And as a disciple of the Purple Fire Sect, Tang Heng naturally harbors some hard-to-release feelings.

"I must know your identity." Tang Heng looked at Ye Xiao and said seriously.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "What if I say I'm from the Soul Sect, does that mean you will no longer want to follow me?"

Tang Heng fell silent immediately; he didn't say no right away, but he also didn't agree either.

Ye Xiao continued to smile cheerfully, staring at Tang Heng with his eyes, and said, "It's okay, I called you out today to speak freely."

Previously, Tang Heng knew that the Soul Sect's influence was great, and they had infiltrated Yan Country's territory nineteen years ago. After Xiao Lingyun's disappearance, the Soul Sect retreated from Yan Country for a while, but now it's different; the Soul Sect's influence is reemerging in some areas of Yan Country, particularly in the Northern Territory.

Especially recently, due to the matter of the Dragon Flag, there were many martial artists in the Northern Territory, and those Soul Sect disciples took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Northern Territory, among which the most were Soul Sect disciples.

Although he knew these people existed, no one really knew who they were. Moreover, Han City had many joint venture companies, making it difficult to distinguish them, as the Soul Sect disciples aren't going to have a sign on their heads showing they are Soul Sect disciples!

Tang Heng listened to Ye Xiao's words, pondered for a while, then looked at Ye Xiao seriously, and said: "You know I'm a disciple of the Purple Fire Sect. If you really are a Soul Sect disciple, I cannot be your enemy, but I also cannot be your subordinate."

"Are you sure?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow with a smile and asked: "You should understand, since I speak so transparently, it means I have made full preparations."

Tang Heng was startled by Ye Xiao's words, and quickly glanced around. Surrounding him were people coming to the bar to play, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

Then Tang Heng thought of something, that he simply couldn't defeat Ye Xiao. If Ye Xiao wanted to act against him, it would only take Ye Xiao alone to handle him.

Tang Heng sighed and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Haha, that depends on your comprehension." Ye Xiao said with a smile.

At that moment, Tang Heng felt somewhat conflicted, because he truly couldn't figure it out. Of course, he hoped Ye Xiao wasn't from the Soul Sect, but he also had no evidence, if Ye Xiao really was from the Soul Sect, he really had no means to deal with it.

Ye Xiao looked at Tang Heng's troubled expression, picked up a bottle of beer from the table, and said with a smile, "Let's drink!"

Tang Heng looked at Ye Xiao, picked up the beer, and started drinking directly, it genuinely seemed like he was drinking it all, but Tang Heng felt even less assured inside.

Soon, Ye Xiao finished the entire bottle.

"What if I indeed am a Soul Sect disciple?" Ye Xiao asked, smiling at Tang Heng.

Tang Heng did not respond immediately but picked up the beer and took a drink.

Soon, he finished that bottle too, placed the beer bottle on the table, and looked up at Ye Xiao, saying, "Mr. Ye, I really want to follow you, but I still have some sense, so I hope we don't become enemies."

Tang Heng finished speaking and stood up to leave.

"Wait!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Tang Heng slowly turned around, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Is there anything else?"

"What if I must become your enemy?" Ye Xiao asked, looking at Tang Heng with a dark tone.

Tang Heng looked at Ye Xiao and said seriously, "I'd rather die an honorable death than live a disgraceful life!"

"What a great saying, 'I'd rather die an honorable death than live a disgraceful life!'" Ye Xiao pointed to the chair that Tang Heng had just been sitting in and said: "Now sit yourself down honestly, I won't let you regret it!"

Tang Heng heard this and became even more puzzled. Clearly, he was truly unable to figure out what Tang Heng meant now.

Just at that moment, Ye Xiao reached his hand inside his clothes.

Seeing Ye Xiao's action, Tang Heng immediately looked defensively at Ye Xiao, obviously suspecting that Ye Xiao had bad intentions.

However, when he saw what Ye Xiao took out from his clothing, he was extremely surprised.

A small red booklet!

Ye Xiao placed the small red booklet on the coffee table, then looked at Tang Heng and said with a smile, "Once you've read this, we can discuss other matters!"

Tang Heng's gaze also locked onto that small red booklet, looking very puzzled, but he still stood up, bent down, and picked up the small red booklet. Yet when he picked it up and had a closer look, his whole person was stunned.
