Chapter 440: Chapter 0439 Cloud Guild Visitors (Second Update)_1
“Okay, this has become our love’s promised place.”
Ye Xiong saw Yang Xiaoqiao’s beautiful hands resting on the table and couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to hold them.
Yang Xiaoqiao thought about pulling away, but she didn’t, shyly lowering her head.
Just as Ye Xiong was about to grasp Yang Xiaoqiao’s hand, the phone rang inappropriately.
Ye Xiong was very disappointed, thinking it was a call from Yang Xinyi, but unexpectedly, it was He Mengji calling.
“Excuse me, I need to take this call,” Ye Xiong said as he walked aside to answer.
...
“Little Mengji, calling me late at night—couldn’t sleep because you’re thinking of me?” Ye Xiong asked with a laugh.
He Mengji was already numb to Ye Xiong’s shameless opening lines and went straight to the point: “Ever heard of the Cloud Guild?”
“Heard of it, it’s a big gang in the southeast provinces with considerable power, and its boss is Zhao Wuji.”
Having been with the Dragon Group, Ye Xiong was quite clear about Huaxia’s forces.
“We received news that half an hour ago, a master from the Cloud Guild entered Jiangnan, not sure if it’s related to us.”
“Entered in secret?”
“Yes, it so happens one of our team members has seen an Envoy of theirs, so they recognized them.”
Ye Xiong’s brows furrowed—had the Cloud Guild also been bought by the Beast Organization to come after him?
“The masters from the Cloud Guild are not weak, so tell everyone to be careful,” he said.
After ending the call, Ye Xiong returned to his seat, a bit uneasy, worrying about the safety of Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning. It seemed like tonight’s date was going to be ruined.
He didn’t want to do something with Yang Xiaoqiao and end up letting something happen to Xinyi and Tang Ning.
“Has something happened?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked curiously.
“No,” Ye Xiong replied.

“Did she call?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked subconsciously.
Naturally, she was referring to Yang Xinyi.
“No, it’s work-related,” he said.
Ye Xiong’s hand slowly moved again, ready to hold Yang Xiaoqiao’s hand.
Yang Xiaoqiao shyly lowered her head again.
Just at that moment, a loud bang came from downstairs, as if something had fallen over.
“There’s going to be a fight, all unrelated people get out now, don’t blame us for accidental injuries,” a booming voice from downstairs commanded, thunderous, indicating how strong the speaker’s projection was.
The people upstairs were so scared they immediately stood up and surged downstairs.
I bought a watch last year, Ye Xiong’s stomach was burning with anger.
He was about to hold a beauty’s hand when someone came to cause trouble; he felt like chopping someone.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaoqiao, in her nervousness, took the initiative to grab his hand, urgently saying, “Something seems to have happened, let’s go quickly.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Ye Xiong said, holding her hand tightly.
Only then did Yang Xinyi remember that Ye Xiong was a military hand with extraordinary skills, and she immediately relaxed.
She had witnessed Ye Xiong’s prowess firsthand; ordinary people were simply no match for him.
Hand in hand, they walked downstairs.
Downstairs, the guests were already scared off. The landlady stood in the middle, facing a man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall and looked extremely fierce.
“Guo Furong, I didn’t expect to find you hiding here. Where is Chi Long?” the burly man asked.
“How would I know where he is?” the landlady retorted.
“Bullshit, Chi Long betrayed the guild for you. Do you really think he would abandon you?”
The burly man picked up a table and violently smashed it against the wall, where it instantly shattered into pieces.
“If you dare not tell me his whereabouts, I’ll burn down your bar with a single fire,” he threatened.
“Every debt has its debtor, every wrong its victim. If you have an issue, go find him directly. Don’t come looking for me. I’ve already told you, I have no connection with him anymore,” the landlady said angrily.
“Being offered a toast and not drinking leads to a forfeit. Since you refuse, I have no choice but to capture you. I don’t believe Chi Long won’t show up,” he declared.
After the burly man spoke, his massive hand, like a meditating cushion, reached out to grab the landlady.
Ye Xiong was about to make a move when suddenly, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside, as if someone was engaging in combat.
“I told you, finding you would surely lead to finding Chi Long,” the burly man said before leaving.
Outside the bar, there were three more people—two were fighting a long-haired man, and another man was watching the battle.
The burly man approached the observer and asked indifferently, “Right Protector, should I join in?”
The onlooker gave a slight nod and said, “You should join them, the two of them cannot defeat Chi Long, and even with you, victory isn’t guaranteed.”
After hearing this, the burly man felt extremely discontented but charged out to fight alongside the other two men against the long-haired man.
Ye Xiong stood aside, watching the four men fight, and felt inwardly shocked.
The strength of these three men was not weak, even stronger than the average member of the Dragon Group. The three of them surrounding the long-haired man and yet he was not at a disadvantage, which showed that the long-haired man’s strength was incredibly formidable.
The long-haired man moved his hands rapidly, creating layers of hand shadows that dazzled the onlookers.
In Ye Xiong’s mind, a name flashed like a bolt of lightning.
Cloud Guild’s Left Protector Chi Long. The burly man had mentioned this name just now; it seemed the long-haired man was indeed Cloud Guild’s Left Protector Chi Long.
It was rumored that Chi Long had trained to have incredibly fast hands from a young age, faster than those of the average person. Now it appeared to be true.
Recalling the phone call from He Mengji earlier, saying that someone from the Cloud Guild had entered Jiangnan, Ye Xiong realized that it was not to deal with him, but rather to capture a traitor.
Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief; his date tonight could continue.
“What’s so interesting about a fight? Let’s go upstairs and continue our date,” he suggested.
Ye Xiong, holding Yang Xiaoqiao’s tender hand, prepared to head back into the bar.
Yang Xiaoqiao didn’t seem too interested in the skirmish and nodded in agreement. The two of them were about to re-enter their private world.
“I’m sorry, but we are not doing business tonight. Please take this drink on the house and leave,” the landlady Guo Furong said with a dim expression on her face, her eyes conveying worry as she looked outside at the long-haired man.
Ye Xiong remembered what the burly man had said earlier: Chi Long fled the Cloud Guild for the landlady.
It seemed that the relationship between the two was far from ordinary!
“Landlady, why haven’t you called the police? If this continues, your dear one will be in trouble,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
“Nonsense, he’s not my loved one at all,” Guo Furong replied with an eye roll, clearly displeased.
“Words might fool people, but eyes don’t lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my girlfriend if she can tell or not,” Ye Xiong pinched Yang Xiaoqiao’s hand.
“Landlady, you really do seem to care about him,” Yang Xiaoqiao agreed.
Guo Furong looked back at the bar with a reluctant sigh, “I thought I could find a place to live peacefully. Now it seems I have to move again.”
“What, you’re moving?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked anxiously.
She had finally found a comfortable and quiet bar to visit on the weekend. She had even planned with Ye Xiong to make it their special spot, and now their plans were dashed so soon.
“Landlady, you can’t move away,” Ye Xiong stated firmly.
