Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Battle with Baili Xiao

Please go lie in the hospital for a few days!

After these words dropped, the atmosphere between the two immediately became somewhat tense.

The one in the pink shirt still wore a smile, looking at Ye Xuan as if greeting an old friend long unseen. One couldn’t even tell that his words implied he intended to beat Ye Xuan until he was crippled.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes immediately narrowed, and he responded coolly, "Now, that’s a truly special request."

"To tell you the truth, I really appreciate you as a person; I actually don’t want you to have to lie in the hospital. But I don’t have a choice."

The one in the pink-inch shirt helplessly spread his hands, saying, "There’s a Young Master among the employers who hired me to teach you a lesson! I really didn’t want to come because your strength is formidable, and I’m not sure if I can win against you. But now I cannot defy his orders! So, I can only fulfill the task on his behalf, and have a chat with you."

"But see, I’m someone who appreciates the strong, and I’d rather be your friend! Therefore, if I must, I don’t want to hurt you. I was thinking, how about we strike a deal, could you please go to the hospital and lie down? Even if it’s just for show, that way I wouldn’t have to lift a finger, and could still complete the Young Master’s task."

Listening to the other party, Ye Xuan’s brows immediately furrowed.

He was speechless inside. Was this guy here to cause trouble or to make jokes?

This was the first time he had ever heard such an absurd request—to go lie down in a hospital by himself!

Damn, does he think I’m that desperate?

"So what you mean is, you want me to play along and fool your employer?" Ye Xuan asked him.

"Bingo! That’s one way to see it." The man in the pink shirt snapped his fingers.

"Alright, your request has left me speechless."

Ye Xuan shook his head, then said with a smile, "However, I have a request too, one that would prevent you from hurting anyone and perfectly resolve this matter."

"Oh, what request? Tell me!" The one in the pink shirt asked with curiosity.

"Quite simple, you go to the hospital yourself and pretend you’ve been injured by me. That way, once your employer sees you, he wouldn’t blame you, and wouldn’t that solve the issue quite satisfactorily?"

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved with a playful intent as he spoke teasingly.

"Hmm, that indeed sounds like a good solution."

Rubbing his chin, the man in the pink shirt thought it over seriously, then shook his head and said with a wide smile, "No go, that method is nice, but I’m not going to take it because I really hate the smell of hospitals. It makes me feel like a lab rat trapped in a laboratory, so I’m not going to go lie down in a hospital."

"Is that so? As it happens, I also loathe staying in hospitals, so I’m afraid I can’t satisfy your request either," said Ye Xuan calmly.

"Hehe, you’re unwilling to lie in a hospital, I’m unwilling to lie in a hospital, does that mean there’s nothing to talk about between us?" The man in the pink inch-shirt said with a grin.

"Nothing to talk about."

"What a pity, we can’t become friends then. It looks like I’ll have to do it myself and send you to the hospital."

The man in the pink shirt squinted with a smile, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"No, you’re mistaken, I’ll be the one sending you to the hospital."

Ye Xuan pointed at his own nose and then at the other man, correcting him.

"Haha, I appreciate you, so let’s see the truth in a fight!" The man in the pink shirt laughed loudly.

"A fair fight it is!"

Ye Xuan succinctly responded with four words.

"What a hassle."

The man in the pink shirt shook his head and sighed. Then he began unbuttoning his shirt, took it off, and revealed his muscular torso underneath.

His shirt was thrown into the car, he tilted his neck, making a ’crack crack’ sound of bones rubbing against each other, smiled slightly, "It’s been a good while since I had a fight, now is a good time to get a workout! Otherwise, I’d start to rust."

Having said that, he flexed his hands and feet, then walked bare-chested towards Ye Xuan.

His muscles were not exaggerated, having a streamlined shape, with every muscle line distinct and clear, resembling a human statue full of artistic beauty.

However, what caught Ye Xuan’s attention was not the man’s muscles, but the blood-colored maple leaf tattoo on his chest.

"Baili?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze flickered; a couple of syllables fell from his lips.

From that blood-colored maple leaf tattoo, he had already deduced the man’s identity!

"You actually recognize me? Heh, that’s really an honor."

A smile spread across Baili Xiao’s face, but unlike the previous instances, though he was ostensibly smiling, his eyes were filled with wariness.

"You are from the Baili Family?" Ye Xuan inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"That’s correct!"

Baili Xiao nodded his head, openly admitting his origins.

However, his heart grew more heavy by the moment; the opponent had uncovered his identity and background without any prior knowledge, even knowing that he came from the Baili Family revealed many issues!

The more important point was that after Ye Xuan recognized his identity, he showed no surprise at all, indicating that he was not afraid of him! It seemed that even his powerful family background could not intimidate the other man.

This alone made him extremely cautious; he did not believe that Ye Xuan was someone who would carelessly ignore danger.

Although he had already highly estimated Ye Xuan’s capabilities, it seemed he had still underestimated him!

"Members of the Baili Family hold a preeminent position in Yan Country, enjoying the glory of the ancestors, a station of high regard, since when did they stoop to being someone else’s lapdog?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, his words tinged with a hint of disdain.

"I need to correct you on that, it’s not being a lapdog, just a partner!" Baili Xiao said, peering intently at Ye Xuan, his face stern as he explained. "Due to some unavoidable reasons, I am temporarily taking orders from him. It’s a partnership; we were equals before, OK?"

"Heh, no matter how much you explain, you’re still taking orders from someone else. Has the Baili Family really fallen so low?" Ye Xuan’s smile was indifferent, his mockery dripping with scorn.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s mocking tone, Baili Xiao, who had maintained a smiling face until now, darkened in expression, resembling an enraged lion as he roared at Ye Xuan, "You may say what you will about me, but I won’t allow you to insult my family!"

"Isn’t that the case, though? Generations of Baili heroes, and now fallen to being someone else’s lapdog—is what I said wrong?" Ye Xuan countered.

"Shut up! I told you we’re not lapdogs; someone like you is simply not qualified to judge the Baili Family!"

Baili Xiao’s eyes blazed red as he bellowed furiously.

As the words fell, he could no longer contain himself. Like a cannonball being shot out, he surged towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened, and he barked, "Miaochan, fall back!"

Seeing the conflict unfold, Lu Miaochan knew her presence there was futile. She promptly retreated to the side to avoid getting in Ye Xuan’s way.

Whoosh!

Simultaneously, Baili Xiao’s speed was incredibly fast, like a blur sweeping by; in the blink of an eye, he closed in to half a meter in front of Ye Xuan.

His clenched fists brought forth a fierce wind, and with a thunderous force, they smashed towards Ye Xuan!

The fight was about to ignite.
