Third floor!

This isn't a KTV private room, but a place where Li Wu and his people usually hang out. At the moment, it's in a room resembling an office.

Ye Xiao sat on a massage chair with a cigarette between his fingers. By now, only half of it remained.

At this moment, Yan Luo, Wu Shengchang, Wangg Yin, and Li Wu were all standing in the room, while others simply were not qualified to enter.

"Can we stop doing illegal and unethical things?" Ye Xiao suddenly said.

After Ye Xiao said this, all four of them were taken aback.

"Huh?"

Of all here, Li Wu was the most surprised. He really couldn't understand that as a gangland force, if they didn't engage in illegal activities, how could they survive in the future?

However, here and now, he dared not speak up.

Yan Luo looked at Ye Xiao, sighed, and said, "Brother Xiao, we'll definitely avoid such things in the future."

"That's right. Right now, Jinling District is your territory, but the higher-ups only need to say the word, and you all will crumble. Whatever society, whatever clubs, they'll all be finished. That's putting it big. On a smaller scale? Fake alcohol, do you drink it? Probably not. But if someone dies from drinking fake alcohol here, what happens? First, this Sky Building will have to shut down. Don't think you're so arrogant and cool," Ye Xiao said, looking at Yan Luo.

In fact, these words were also meant for the others present to hear.

Ye Xiao looked at Yan Luo and the others. Clearly, they didn't quite agree with Ye Xiao's perspective. After all, gangland forces are supposed to be dark and evil.

But now, what Ye Xiao was saying didn't sound like gangland forces at all.

"Do you think I'm just full and having nonsensical thoughts? Saying something ridiculous?" Ye Xiao flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Have you ever thought that you might one day stand at the top of all gangland forces in Chu City, or even in Yan Country? But how can you achieve that? Having more people? More money? More ruthlessness? That's all nonsense!" Ye Xiao said, "Not disturbing the public, that is the pivot."

"Not disturbing the public?" Li Wu couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao and said, "Boss, we are ganglanders!"

"So? Do ganglanders have to be vicious outlaws?" Ye Xiao looked at Li Wu and said, "If you are a top official in Yan Country, and you see two gangland forces fighting, one is a traditional gangland force, and the other rules a territory with a very low crime rate, with relatively high public safety and moral standards. Now tell me, when forced to choose one, which one would you let survive, and which one would you let perish?"

"Well..." Hearing this, Li Wu suddenly started to understand.

"Brother Xiao, we've gotten a bit swelled up." At this time, Yan Luo looked at Ye Xiao and spoke very sincerely.

Ye Xiao looked at Yan Luo, sighed slightly, then extinguished the cigarette on the table, stood up, and said with a smile, "What happened today should serve as a lesson."

"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Yan Luo, Wu Shengchang, and the others immediately nodded and said.

Ye Xiao nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Remember what I said, you are not ordinary thugs. You are the nobility of this world. Remember, true nobility will never bully the weak."

Yan Luo and the others nodded in agreement.

Then, Ye Xiao added, "Brother Six, Li Wu, you two go out first. I have something to talk about with Yan Luo."

"Yes!" Wu Shengchang and Li Wu quickly nodded in agreement. Li Wu then promptly retreated, while Wu Shengchang seemed a bit envious of the conversation Ye Xiao planned to have with Yan Luo. However, Yan Luo was indeed more capable now, and that inscrutable Wangg Yin also followed Yan Luo's lead after listening to Ye Xiao's command.

So now, Wu Shengchang could only become the second-in-command in Jinling District.

The difference between being second-in-command and first-in-command is absolutely significant.

Nevertheless, Wu Shengchang wasn't someone who didn't know gratitude. He understood that moving forward, every step would surely lead to success.

Wu Shengchang saluted Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, I'll be waiting outside."

Ye Xiao nodded slightly.

Ye Xiao did not have much fondness for Wu Shengchang. After all, Wu Shengchang was just a hooligan by nature, capable though he might be, he was still gangland at heart.

When Wu Shengchang left and closed the door, Ye Xiao turned to look at Yan Luo.

Seeing Ye Xiao look at him, Yan Luo immediately felt a bit fearful and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, go ahead and punish me."

"You're different from Wu Shengchang and the others, and you know that," Ye Xiao said, looking at Yan Luo.

Yan Luo hung his head, looking somewhat ashamed.

"Brother Xiao, I've let you down," Yan Luo said.

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "Originally, you could have lived a stable life like an ordinary person. It's partly because of me that you took this path. To others, it might seem glamorous, but you should be able to feel it's not like that at all. Danger is everywhere. If you want to quit, I can allow it now and won't force you."

"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? My life is yours. Brother Xiao, it's me who hasn't done well. I promise this kind of thing will never happen again. I will definitely create a gangland order that Brother Xiao will be satisfied with."

"No, not me. It should satisfy the people of Yan Country. Have you forgotten? I belong to a special organization in Yan Country, so I hope for peace in Yan Country," Ye Xiao said.

"Brother Xiao, I'm a retired soldier. I also have the responsibility to protect Yan Country's peace."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Good, very good. I trust you."

A simple sentence, and Yan Luo immediately felt a warm current flow through his heart, making him feel very comfortable and cozy.

"Is your mom doing better?" Ye Xiao asked.

Yan Luo replied, "Yeah, she's just resting quietly now. Actually, she's basically recovered, but Doctor Han said she should stay in the hospital for a few more days."

Ye Xiao, of course, knew that the Doctor Han Yan Luo mentioned was Han Ruoxi. He secretly smiled in his heart. That girl is indeed quite good, although sometimes she gives him trouble. But, one must admit, for patients, she's truly a good doctor.

Ye Xiao said, "I actually wanted to visit your mom during this period. I'll go over when I'm free."

Yan Luo knew Ye Xiao was sincere, and this was one of the reasons Yan Luo trusted Ye Xiao the most; Ye Xiao would never joke about family.

Yan Luo said, "Brother Xiao, honestly, my mom misses you. She always says working with you would surely lead to a bright future."

"Work?"

Yan Luo chuckled, saying, "I told my mom I'm working at your friend's company. Oh, right, I told her that Wangg Yin is my boss."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao, hearing Yan Luo's words, immediately smiled and said to Wangg Yin, "Now you've become Boss Wangg."

Wangg Yin gave a faint smile and said, "Just playing the role temporarily."

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "Yan Luo did well. Don't let your mom know what you're doing now; otherwise, she'll surely worry. In the future, over time, when the company is established, then as company presidents or something, you can openly tell your family."

Yan Luo said, "Brother Xiao, I understand."

Ye Xiao then asked, "By the way, the Martial Arts Heart Method I gave you, how's your practice going?"

Yan Luo replied, "I'm not sure, but I've been practicing every day."

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Then run the heart method now and let me see."

Yan Luo immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to run the Qiu Mountain Positive Yang Skill.

At this moment, Wangg Yin was right by his side, watching Yan Luo as he started running the heart method. He was instantly surprised; he really hadn't expected Yan Luo to actually know a heart method. All this time, he'd thought Yan Luo was just an ordinary person.

"This..." Wangg Yin, surprised, looked at Yan Luo.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "What? Surprised?"

Wangg Yin laughed and said, "Yeah, I'm indeed a bit surprised. I always thought Yan Luo was just an ordinary person."

Just then, as Yan Luo was running the heart method, he said, "Brother Xiao told me before that practicing the heart method needs to be kept secret, so I didn't say anything."

Wangg Yin then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, this Positive Yang Heart Method seems like it's from the Qiu Mountain Sect."

"That's right, it indeed is the Qiu Mountain Positive Yang Skill!" Ye Xiao said.

Wangg Yin was even more puzzled and said, "But, as far as I know, this Qiu Mountain Positive Yang Skill is the Qiu Mountain Sect's exclusive heart method, never taught to outsiders."

"Exactly, which is why Yan Luo is nominally my apprentice," Ye Xiao said.

"Ah?" Wangg Yin, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately laughed.

Ye Xiao said, "What? Can't I be someone else's master?"

"Brother Xiao's skills are extraordinary, just a bit young," Wangg Yin honestly remarked without holding back.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Can't help it, blame it on being a genius."

Wangg Yin was suddenly at a loss for words.

But, undeniably, this was indeed true.

In the Cold Moon Sect, Wangg Yin was definitely a genius. But compared to Ye Xiao, it was as if he had no face to meet the Jiangdong elders.

Ye Xiao wasn't just any genius; he was a prodigy, truly a prodigy, and a prodigy among prodigies.

Ye Xiao smiled and looked at Yan Luo, reaching out his hand and stopping about five centimeters above Yan Luo's head. At the same time, a surge of Nine Yang True Qi gently covered it.

Yan Luo suddenly felt a warm sensation passing from above his head, and in a blink, it spread throughout his entire body.

In about ten seconds, that warm sensation disappeared, and Yan Luo slowly stopped running the heart method, lifting his head to look at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's face showed a smile.

"Not bad!" Ye Xiao said.

Yan Luo looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, what's so not bad about it?"

"You'll soon be able to cultivate True Qi," Ye Xiao said.
