Ming Shixiong was startled. "Why are we going to Tiger Roar Hall?"
"If we let the Xue Family and the disciples of Tiger Roar Hall know that Ye Xiu killed Xue Wanchun, they’ll stop at nothing to get their revenge," Ming Yue said.
"Even Xue Wanchun couldn’t take a single blow from Ye Xiu. That ragtag bunch from Tiger Roar Hall stands no chance of killing him," Ming Shixiong countered.
"Even the greatest martial artist fears a simple knife. A spear in the open is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is difficult to guard against. Killing isn’t always about superior strength. Car accidents, poison, bombs, snipers... I’m sure the disciples of Tiger Roar Hall can think of countless ways to kill Ye Xiu," Ming Yue said viciously.
Ming Shixiong’s eyes lit up. "Let’s go. To Tiger Roar Hall."
Tiger Roar Hall was an Ancient Martial Sect masquerading as a bodyguard company.
By the ti Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong arrived, they saw several large, canopied trucks parked inside. A cold-faced young man was directing a group of n loading people onto the trucks. All those being loaded had bruised and swollen faces; it was clear they were seriously injured.
"You two are late," Mo Luo said to Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong, his face expressionless.
Stared at by Mo Luo’s snake-like eyes, the pair nearly collapsed from fear.
Ming Yue mustered her courage and asked, "Who are you? Where are the disciples of Tiger Roar Hall?"
"You don’t have the right to know who I am," Mo Luo said indifferently. "As for the Xue Family, the disciples of Tiger Roar Hall, and all their families, they are about to be transported to the City of Asura to work in the mines."
What? Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong’s faces turned ashen.
They had co to Tiger Roar Hall specifically to stir up trouble, hoping to use its power to kill Ye Xiu. But it seed Ye Xiu’s people were one step ahead; they were already loading the mbers of Tiger Roar Hall onto the trucks.
My god! Ye Xiu is so ruthless! Killing a man and wiping out his entire family... He isn’t giving his enemies any chance to make a coback!
"Um, could you tell what kind of mines they’re being sent to in the City of Asura?" Ming Yue asked with a strange curiosity, despite her overwhelming fear and knowing how stupid the question was. She really wanted to know what kind of life awaited those Ye Xiu sent to the City of Asura.
"Mr. Ye has several gold mines, a few diamond mines, and dozens of other rare tal mines in the City of Asura. They are very short on labor right now." The corner of Mo Luo’s mouth twisted into a bloodthirsty sneer as he asked, "Would you two like to go?"
Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong were stunned. Wasn’t Ye Xiu supposed to have founded a slaughterhouse company during his ten years abroad? How does he also have so many mines?
"Are you saying we might also be sent to the City of Asura to mine?" Ming Yue asked.
"Only Mr. Ye can decide your ultimate fate," Mo Luo said coldly. "I advise you to stop causing trouble. All your resistance is futile and will only drag more people down. If Mr. Ye does decide to send you to the City of Asura, the people you dragged down with you will probably eat you alive."
Hearing this, Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong collapsed onto the ground, utterly terrified. At that mont, they suddenly felt that simply waiting to be killed would be more comfortable. If Ye Xiu really sent them to the mines, they couldn’t even begin to imagine the horrors they would face.
Dying from disease? Being killed by others? Or growing old and dying in a sunless mine?
"Let’s go!" Mustering strength from an unknown source, Ming Yue suddenly scrambled to her feet, pulled Ming Shixiong up, and started running.
"You’re not thinking of fleeing abroad, are you?" Mo Luo called out after them.
Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong, who were running wildly, abruptly stopped.
"Mr. Ye already knows you withdrew cash from the bank, transferred the Ming Corporation’s funds to the Shui Yun City branch, and even chartered a plane," Mo Luo said. "I’d advise you not to waste your effort. It will only hasten your deaths, or get you sent to the City of Asura."
Ming Yue and Ming Shixiong exchanged a look of complete despair.
He’s right. Her plan had been to rush ho with Ming Shixiong, pack their things, and escape to Shui Yun City. She had thought that if the Ming Family fled abroad, they would be beyond Ye Xiu’s reach. She never expected that Ye Xiu already knew everything they had secretly arranged.
It’s over. All the Ming Family can do now is wait for Ye Xiu’s judgnt.

After Ye Xiu and Murong left Guihe Mansion, they didn’t imdiately return to Shenghe dical College but went to a shopping mall instead.
"What are you dragging here for?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I risked my life to accompany you to that dangerous banquet. Don’t you think you owe a shopping trip to calm my nerves?" Murong replied.
"You saw I made a little money and now you’re trying to rip off, aren’t you?" Ye Xiu teased.
"You call that a little money? That was over a hundred billion," Murong retorted.
Ye Xiu chuckled. "Alright, alright. What do you want to buy?"
"Let’s just browse first." Murong shrugged, then changed the subject. "Did you know from the start that I’m from the Mu Family of Han Yun?"
Earlier in the private room, when she had revealed her identity, she had paid close attention to Ye Xiu’s expression. She expected him to be surprised or perhaps delighted, but he didn’t seem surprised at all.
"I knew the mont I first saw you," Ye Xiu said.
"Have you t before?" Murong asked.
"No," Ye Xiu shook his head.
"Then how did you know I was from the Mu Family at a glance?" she asked curiously.
Ye Xiu hesitated for a mont before saying, "Every generation of the Mu Family has soone with the hereditary Yin Poison Body. Your deanor is as cold as frost, and your eyes carry a natural killing intent. With my dical skills, it wasn’t hard to discern your constitution and connect it to the Mu Family of Han Yun."
Murong stared in shock at Ye Xiu’s profile, amazed by his calm explanation. "The Yin Poison Body isn’t known to the outside world, yet you recognized it instantly. Have you t soone from the Mu Family with a Yin Poison Body before?"
"I have," Ye Xiu nodded. "And I’ve even cured soone with the Yin Poison Body, though he wasn’t from the Mu Family."
"Yeah, right. Keep bragging," Murong scoffed, instantly disbelieving him. "First of all, globally, only the Mu Family produces one person with the hereditary Yin Poison Body each generation. Secondly, the Yin Poison Body is incurable. For millennia, the Mu Family has tried everything, seeking renowned doctors from every country, but none could cure it. And you think you can?"
Ye Xiu chuckled. "If I were you, I’d pretend to believe , even if I didn’t, and let give it a try."
"So you just want to use as a guinea pig to study the Yin Poison Body," Murong said, as if she had seen right through him.
"Ever since you t , has your body felt warr?" Ye Xiu asked.
Murong was taken aback. "How did you know?"
"The Yin Poison Body sounds quite malevolent, but it’s really just a special type of blood disease," Ye Xiu explained. "After a person with the Yin Poison Body is born, the Yin Cold Poison in their blood increases with age. This causes their blood temperature to drop continuously, and their circulation to slow down more and more, until eventually, the blood freezes solid.
"Therefore, the first step to treating the Yin Poison Body is to speed up blood circulation to generate body heat. Only the heat generated by the body itself can eliminate the Yin Cold Poison.
"Since you’ve t , you’ve gotten angry at quite a bit. That anger has accelerated your blood flow, which is why your body naturally feels warr."
