Ye Xiaobai said it would take at most half an hour, it's already been over twenty minutes, yet he hasn't shown up and his phone is turned off.
Tang Rao felt that sothing was not quite right.
Of course, he still insisted on waiting for thirty minutes.
At the thirtieth minute, Tang Rao tried calling Ye Xiaobai's phone again, it was still turned off.
Although Tang Rao hadn't interacted much with Ye Xiaobai, they had spent ti together in a detention room before, and he knew a bit about Ye Xiaobai's character.
This guy definitely wouldn't stand him up without a good reason; it's very likely that sothing has happened.
"Alright, brother is going to check on you." Tang Rao got out of the car, locked the door, and then headed towards the Ye Family Mansion.
Of course, Tang Rao couldn't just stroll in; he was stopped by the security at the gate.
"I am Tang Rao, the son of Bai Yushu, here to see Ye Xiaobai," Tang Rao said to the security guard, clearly stating his purpose at this mont.
Both security guards were slightly startled; they could work for the Ye Family's security, so they were sowhat aware of these prestigious families.
Bai Yushu is from the Bai Family, and the Bai Family's strength is on par with the Ye Family.
"Please wait a mont, I'll check," said the security imdiately.
Tang Rao didn't say anything else and waited for the security to confirm.
In about half a minute, the security guard ca out from the security room.
"Mr. Tang, you may enter now," the security guard opened the gate for Tang Rao and said.
"Alright, thanks," Tang Rao said to the security guard and stepped into the Ye Family Mansion.
The courtyard indeed seed bigger than that of the Bai Family, and it looked like it had been renovated recently, very flamboyantly.
"Young Master Tang, please co this way," said a person who ca to greet Tang Rao as soon as he entered.
It was a middle-aged man, around forty, clean-shaven, with a pair of rimless glasses, looking very refined.
"I'm here to see Ye Xiaobai, where is he?" Tang Rao asked.
"Third Young Master is in the back yard, at the martial arts training area. Young Master Tang, just follow ," the refined middle-aged man said softly.
Tang Rao raised his eyebrows, a martial arts training area in the backyard? What is Ye Xiaobai up to?
However, Tang Rao didn't ask further and followed the man towards the martial arts training area in the backyard.
Upon reaching the training area, Tang Rao imdiately spotted Ye Xiaobai on the ground.
Yes... on the ground.
At this mont, he was lying on the ground, looking miserable, with his clothes in tatters. He also had nurous wounds all over his body, not deep, but definitely enough to trouble Ye Xiaobai quite a bit.
"Xiao Bai, is that all you've got? It seems you haven't improved much recently. Alright, I'll take that spot then, big brother," said a guy standing next to Ye Xiaobai, of about the sa age.
He was holding a longsword in his hand, with a silver blade and a cyan handle, which looked very sharp.
Most likely, those wounds on Ye Xiaobai ca from this sword.
Tang Rao searched through his mories; this person should be Ye Xiaobai's second brother, Ye Feihu.
"Ah tsk tsk, so miserable," Tang Rao walked over to Ye Xiaobai, squatted down, and knocked on Ye Xiaobai's head.
Ye Xiaobai looked up, his tender white face also had sword marks.
"Ouch man, look at this leopard-face, it's really hilariously festive. Xiao Bai, if this is your way to welco , I'm quite flattered!" Tang Rao said to Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
"Tang Rao, have you no humanity! Look at now!" Ye Xiaobai looked miserable, but he was actually not seriously hurt.
After all, this is an internal sparring within the Ye Family.
Nearby, there are elder mbers of the Ye Family watching.
"Stop playing dead, look what I brought for you." Tang Rao took out a bag, which contained a cup of milk tea he bought on the way here.
"Original flavor, with extra pearls." Tang Rao said with a smile.
Ye Xiaobai saw the milk tea, swiftly got up from the ground, snatched the milk tea from Tang Rao's hand, and took a big gulp.
"Ah..." Ye Xiaobai was like an old smoker taking a puff, looking utterly thrilled.
Tang Rao has always found it hard to understand Ye Xiaobai's penchant for drinking pearl milk tea.
That milk tea, it doesn't taste good at all.
And those pearls, they're like soft plastic.
"Tang Rao, I feel like I'm going to fall in love with you." Ye Xiaobai, holding the pearl milk tea, said seriously.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Speaking of which, your Ye Family is competing for spots in the exchange eting, right?" Tang Rao asked.
"Exactly." Ye Xiaobai nodded, "Ah, what an exchange eting, it's just too barbaric. What's the point in all this fighting and killing, I don't even want to participate."
"Don't act tough, you got beaten up like this, obviously you're not qualified to participate." Tang Rao said.
"I... I haven't admitted defeat yet, okay? I was losing on purpose." Ye Xiaobai argued with a sullen face.
Tang Rao gave Ye Xiaobai a thumbs up: "Losing on purpose to the point of getting beaten up like a dog, I truly admire you, man."
Ye Xiaobai: "..."
"Even if I could participate, it wouldn't be of any use, you know? The first match is between our Ye Family and the Bai Family, and it seems you were also signed up to participate?" Ye Xiaobai said.
With Tang Rao around, Ye Xiaobai didn't think the Ye Family had any chance of winning.
Tang Rao, this guy, is a total freak!
Even Lu He could be swiftly beaten into submission by him, not to ntion those few people from the Ye Family, they would just be trampled.
"Has the grouping been decided?" Tang Rao was sowhat surprised, no one had told him that.
"Yes, it was decided this afternoon. The first round is Ye Family versus Bai Family in a three-on-three team battle for ten minutes. After ten minutes, whoever is still on the platform can advance to the next round. Of course, in the team battle, at least two people must be eliminated. If all six are still present at the end, both families will decide to eliminate one person." Ye Xiaobai explained, throwing up his hands.
Tang Rao nodded, so that's how the rules for the first round go.
...
"Is that Xiao Rao? Do you still rember Uncle Ye?" At this mont, a burly man ca over, smiling broadly at Tang Rao.
Ye Qing, Ye Xiaobai's father, the Family Head of this generation of the Ye Family.
In his mory, Ye Qing seed to have a good relationship with his cheap dad, Tang Renwang.
"How could I not rember..." Tang Rao nodded.
"I heard you recently opened your Qi Mansion, let congratulate you." Ye Qing said with a smile.
Tang Rao was indifferent, congratulations didn't have any practical effect. If you really cared, you'd better give sothing high-end.
"Xiao Bai, since you and Tang Rao are friends, why don't you go aside and have a good chat. As for the spot in this competition, you might as well give it up." Ye Qing said to Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai's strength indeed isn't comparable to the other three, there's nothing to argue about.
Ye Xiaobai pouted, though he verbally expressed disinterest in participating, this guy still had so desire.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought with Ye Feihu.
"Speaking of which, isn't the first fight a three-on-three brawl between Ye Family and Bai Family? Give Xiao Bai a spot to participate, otherwise, I'll just take down all your Ye Family mbers." Tang Rao looked at Ye Qing, suddenly saying with a smile.
