The trio soon finished their meal.

Mu Wanyu stood up with the dishes and said, "I'll go wash the dishes!"

"Let me help you," said Ye Guan with a smile.

He stood up to follow her, but Mu Wanyu replied, "No need!"

"Really, let me help you," Ye Guan insisted.

Mu Wanyu revealed a faint smile and didn't refuse this time. Meanwhile, Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and became even more curious about him. Just what kind of man was Ye Guan?

He had a gentle demeanor, and he always acted like a gentleman. However, he would become extremely terrifying once angry. She could still remember how Ye Guan looked when he was angry back at the Su Residence.

Su Zi was convinced that Ye Guan would have killed Li Mu if she hadn't stopped him.

Su Zi broke out into a smile while staring at Ye Guan washing the dishes.

Ye Guan was an enigmatic man, but one thing was for sure: he was a good man.

The night deepened, and Ye Guan was lying on the sofa as he circulated the Universe Beholdment Skill. He was getting but a few particles of spiritual energy every cycle, but it was better than nothing.

Ye Guan’s dantian now had a tiny amount of profound energy, enough for him to control his sword using profound energy. Ye Guan could control his sword telekinetically, but his attack range would be too short. On the other hand, his attack range would be at least a hundred meters using profound energy.

Just then, Ye Guan’s eyes flung open.

He could hear fighting downstairs.

Someone's here. Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. Su Zi wasn't living with her family, so Su Mu had to have sent people to protect her in the shadows.

Su Zi walked out of her room in her pajamas. Clearly, she could also hear the commotion nearby. She walked up to Ye Guan's side, and Ye Guan stared at the door.

Footsteps echoed just outside the door.

Su Zi's face changed instantly, and she instinctively grabbed Ye Guan's hand.

Ye Guan picked up the blanket next to him and draped it over Su Zi. "It's cold; be careful not to catch a cold!"

Su Zi was stunned, and a strange feeling gripped her heart as she stared at Ye Guan.

"Stay there," Ye Guan said. He stood up and was about to walk up to the door when Su Zi grabbed him and whispered, "Be careful..."

Ye Guan responded with a light smile. He went to the dining table and grabbed a bunch of chopsticks. Ye Guan walked up to the door. He then kicked it open and rushed outside.

Blood-curdling screams echoed just then, making Su Zi grip the hem of the blanket tightly. Her eyes flashed in a mixture of concern and nervousness. Five corpses were in front of Ye Guan, and each of them had a chopstick sticking out of their glabella.

A mysterious figure in black was standing just a few steps away from Ye Guan. Their eyes were fixated on Ye Guan, and their voice sounded raspy as they asked, " Are you a martial artist?"

Ye Guan stared at the mysterious figure, but he didn't respond to the latter.

The mysterious figure asked, "I'm from the Southern Mo Family. You?"

Ye Guan calmly responded, "I come from the Guanxuan Reliance[1] Club, and the Yang Family.”

The mysterious figure frowned. The Yang Family wasn't one of the prestigious ancient martial families, and the Guanxuan Reliance Club also didn't sound like it was anything of significance.

The mysterious figure raised their right hand. A slight breeze swept past them, and their clothes fluttered. Just as their clothes fluttered in the wind, they lunged forward and swung their fist toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was shocked. He deduced that the mysterious figure had to be a man, and he was stronger than the average person. Ye Guan sidestepped the oncoming attack. The punch missed, but Ye Guan's chopstick struck true, piercing the man's throat.

Squelch!

The man in black collapsed with his eyes wide open. Ye Guan looted the fallen assailant and found a thumb-sized stone. Ye Guan was stunned upon seeing the stone. The stone contained spiritual energy, so it had to be a spirit stone!

Ye Guan was overjoyed, but his expression quickly changed into that of a frown.

The spirit stone contained a laughable amount of spiritual energy.

Why is the spiritual energy here so thin? Ye Guan wondered to himself as a hint of frustration made his forehead crease. He put the spirit stone away and proceeded to search the bodies, finding over ten thousand Huaxian dollars.

Just then, the door swung open, and Su Zi rushed toward Ye Guan.

She grabbed Ye Guan's hand, and her voice was trembling as she asked, "A-a-are you okay?"

Ye Guan smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine."

Su Zi sighed in relief, but her eyes constricted upon seeing the corpses, and she started vomiting.

Ye Guan patted Su Zi's back gently and handed her a tissue. She accepted it and muttered, "Thank you."

Ye Guan nodded and said, "You should come with me."

The two found more corpses, and they saw a young man standing next to a parked car. There was an old man behind the young man.

Su Zi's face turned cold."That's Li Zichen—the eldest son of the Li Family!"

Ye Guan frowned.

"You're here?" Li Zichen saw them and grinned. He made a throat-slitting gesture and exclaimed, "Prepare to die!"

Hearing that, Ye Guan rushed toward Li Zichen.

The old man behind Li Zichen frowned. He lunged forward and swung his fist toward Ye Guan. However, the air let loose a piercing cry as a chopstick streaked across the air and pierced the old man's fist before plunging into his neck.

A grotesque noise echoed along with a spurting noise reminiscent of a deflating tire.

The old man's eyes were wide open as he collapsed to the ground. Ye Guan then rushed toward Li Zichen and grabbed the latter by his throat before slamming him to the ground.

"Ah! Aaaaah!" Li Zichen let out a terrified and pained scream.

Ye Guan stared at the terrified Li Zichen and sneered, "What did you say just now? Prepare to die?"

Li Zichen trembled and stammered, "Y-y-you... I'm from the Li family. Touch me, and the consequences will be—"

Ye Guan promptly silenced him with a kick to the face.

"AAAAAAAH!" Li Zichen screamed like a pig in a slaughterhouse.

Turning to Su Zi, Ye Guan said, "Close your eyes."

Su Zi stared at Ye Guan and refused. "No!"

"Close your eyes." Ye Guan insisted.

Su Zi shook her head stubbornly.

Ye Guan sighed helplessly. "Alright."

He took out a chopstick from his pocket and slashed Li Zichen's throat.

A grotesque noise echoed as Li Zichen's head rolled away. His blood created a pool of crimson on the ground, but Ye Guan remained indifferent despite the gory scene.

An enemy had to be dealt with decisively. He disliked leaving loose ends that could bite him back in the future. In his mind, his enemies had to be eliminated completely to make sure that he wouldn't have to deal with them again in the future.

Su Zi looked as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. Ye Guan tossed the chopstick to the ground. He looked around and found two spirit stones. The spirit stones weren't of decent quality, and they contained only a meager amount of spiritual energy.

Ye Guan pocketed the spirit stones and walked up to Su Zi.

Su Zi was instantly pallid, and she instinctively retreated while staring at Ye Guan with fear in her eyes.

Ye Guan was taken aback. Eventually, he turned around and headed upstairs.

Su Mu finally arrived at the scene with his men. Su Mu froze upon seeing Li Zichen's corpse. He stared at Su Zi and was about to start asking questions when Su Zi turned around and rushed upstairs.

Ye Guan washed his hands and collapsed on the sofa. He was about to go to sleep when Su Zi approached him. His eyes were half-closed, and he was silent. Su Zi tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Ye Guan still didn't say anything. Su Zi started panicking upon seeing Ye Guan's silence, and she hurriedly explained, "I'm not afraid of you. It was just my first time seeing corpses, and I... please don't be angry at me."

Ye Guan shook his head slightly and said, "Miss Su, I'm not angry. Your reaction is normal. I can only say that we're from two different worlds."

Su Zi's expression stiffened, and her breathing felt stifled. Tears welled up in her eyes, and they silently fell down her cheeks.

“You gave me money, so I will ensure your safety this month. After that, I will leave, and we probably won't see each other again."

Ye Guan was just a passerby, and he would leave once he was done with his business here. Honestly, he was a bit annoyed with Su Zi. He had killed for her sake, but she had looked at him as if he were a villain.

Su Zi remained frozen, but her heart was pounding madly against her chest. She wanted to say something, but the door to Mu Wanyu's room suddenly opened. Mu Wanyu looked at Su Zi on the sofa with a puzzled expression.

"Su Zi?" she asked.

Su Zi lowered her head slightly. "Wanyu."

Mu Wanyu asked, "What were you two talking about?" fr(e)enovelkiss

Su Zi shook her head and changed the subject. "Why are you awake?"

"I heard some commotion, so I got up to take a look..." Mu Wanyu replied.

"You two should rest," Ye Guan chimed in.

Mu Wanyu stared alternatingly between Ye Guan and Su Zi.

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and whispered, "I'm sorry."

With that, she got up and returned to her own room.

Mu Wanyu hesitated for a moment before walking over to Ye Guan.

She tugged on his sleeve and asked, "Did you two quarrel?"

Ye Guan turned to look at Mu Wanyu and smiled. "Go and sleep."

Mu Wanyu whispered, "She was crying."

Ye Guan was silent.

"Let me ask you a question, and you have to answer honestly, okay?" said Mu Wanyu.

Ye Guan cast a curious gaze at Mu Wanyu. "What's the question?"

Mu Wanyu stared intently at Ye Guan and asked, "Do you... like Su Zi?"

Ye Guan was momentarily stunned. "Why do you ask?"

"I mean, you were willing to sacrifice your life just to save her..." Mu Wanyu muttered.

"I'm willing to do the same to you," Ye Guan said.

Mu Wanyu was astonished. It took her a moment to compose herself.

"Really?" Mu Wanyu asked, "Would you take a bullet for me?"

Ye Guan chuckled. "I'd take a cannonball for you."

Mu Wanyu blinked, and then she smiled sweetly before asking, "If... and I mean if! If you had to choose between Su Zi and me, who would you choose to be your—"

Ye Guan was puzzled, and he asked, "Choose to be my what?"

"Your girlfriend..." Mu Wanyu muttered, and her voice was so soft it sounded like a mosquito's droning. Her face flushed instantly, and her heart pounded madly against her chest.

Ye Guan laughed and exclaimed, "I'd choose you two!"

Mu Wanyu was taken aback, and then she glared at him.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" she exclaimed. She then turned around and started walking away, but she soon came to a halt. Seemingly dissatisfied with her outburst, she walked back to Ye Guan and gave him a kick. "In your dreams!"

Finally, Mu Wanyu rushed to her room, leaving a perplexed Ye Guan behind. Is it a sin to have multiple girlfriends[2] here?

1. the word used here is 靠山, which might be a reference to how Ye Guan is the king of relying on others lol ?

2. I think Ye Guan still has no idea what it means LOL ?
