Xiao Ye Fengciro’s sword is too fast, you can’t see him draw his sword with the naked eye.

Only then did Xu Xiangbei understand why President Huang showed a knowing smile when he saw Xu Xiangbei sign the life-and-death contract.

Signing that life-and-death contract was more like crossing out his name in the Book of Life and Death.

Mr. Thomas introduced, "Xiao Ye Fengciro belongs to Japan’s One-Cut school. His sword technique is called One-Cut Slash. It’s said that he has never had to use a second cut."

Xu Xiangbei felt the pressure multiplied; Xiao Ye Fengciro is the strongest enemy he has ever seen.

He clicked on the video behind, a duel video of Xiao Ye Fengciro from last year.

This time Xiao Ye Fengciro’s opponent was changed to a samurai from Huaxia,

and just like in the previous video, Xiao Ye Fengciro kept kneeling there, then with a flash of cold light, that Huaxia samurai also clutched his throat, fell down with a face full of hatred.

Xu Xiangbei played the two videos over and over, trying to find some pattern until he screamed on the twelfth watch, "So that’s it."

Thomas asked doubtfully, "Dr. Xu, what’s wrong? Is there something off?"

Xu Xiangbei’s expression was grave: "Normal people don’t have that speed. I’ve found his eyes are closed, which makes sense—it’s not the eyes, but the brain that makes his strike so fast."

Thomas patted Xu Xiangbei on the shoulder, "This duel is a challenge for you. Xiao Ye Fengciro is a master, but he is also a mortal, with weaknesses. I believe you’ll find a way to deal with him. It’s late, I’ll take my leave."

After seeing Thomas off, Xu Xiangbei called Ouyang Yude, smiling as he asked, "Brother Ouyang, are you home?"

On the other end of the line, Ouyang Yude’s deep voice said, "Brother Xu Xiangbei, what’s up?"

"I want to visit you, discuss the Four Fly Iron Gall."

Ouyang Yude laughed, "Sure, that’s a good thing. When are you coming? I get off work at five, come at six for dinner, call Jiahui to see if she’s free to join us."

Xu Xiangbei smiled, "Alright, it’s settled then."

Xu Xiangbei returned to the private room to find Ouyang Jiahui’s table in disarray, full of fruit peels. She shook her pomelo explosion hair: "I ate too much at lunch, gained at least two pounds of fat, can’t have dinner tonight."

Xiao Lin laughed without showing her teeth, no matter how she smiled, she was like an elegant lily: "I haven’t eaten for the past two days, only fruits, also need to lose weight."

Xu Xiangbei smirked, "Dear niece, I’m afraid you can’t skip dinner, your dad asked you to go home with me for dinner."

Ouyang Jiahui looked surprised, in disbelief, and quickly called her dad. After the call, she looked aggrieved.

"Brother Xu is a big liar, my dad wouldn’t ask me home for no reason. What’s going on, explain yourself or I won’t go home to dinner."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "I have a martial arts question to discuss with your dad. Since I’m going to your house, you should accompany me, drive me there, it’s inconvenient to catch a taxi at night."

Ouyang Jiahui pouted reluctantly, "Who says it’s inconvenient, there’s Didi ride-hailing. You just want me to be the driver; I have a date tonight with a tall, handsome guy."

"Tall, handsome guy? You mean me? Haha, with such a handsome guy as me before you, do you still fancy anyone else?"

"Shameless, you are not a tall, handsome guy."

Xu Xiangbei jokingly coaxed, "Dear sister, don’t you want to live in the new villa? It’s bigger and roomier than your apartment, with full Euro-style renovation, no need to worry about elevator breakdowns."

Speaking of which, it caught Ouyang Jiahui’s eye, she slyly smiled, "Alright, haven’t been home in days, might as well check today, but I have a condition, if you buy a new villa, I want to move in with my friend Xiao Lin, and rent shouldn’t be more than my current apartment, do you agree?"

"Of course, even if you bring your mom and dad, I wouldn’t mind."

Hearing about Xu Xiangbei’s villa plan, Ouyang Jiahui decided to move in, Xiao Lin looked hopeful: "The apartment elevator often breaks, other places rent high, if Brother Xu gets a villa here, moving together sounds wonderful."

Ouyang Jiahui asked Xiao Lin, "Are you going to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Sure, going together, it’s boring going back to the apartment alone."

"Let Zhou Ping make a serving of beef and seafood balls, Dad hasn’t had Uncle Zhou’s meatballs in ages, let’s treat him and Grandpa tonight."

The three drove Ouyang Jiahui’s car back to the Ouyang family’s villa. Her mom, Dongfang Yelan, was in Italy, only Dad Ouyang Yude and Grandpa were home.

"Dad, Grandpa, I brought Uncle Zhou’s Emperor’s Pavilion beef and seafood balls for you."

Ouyang Yude was glad his daughter thought of him, "The house has lots of dishes, but haven’t had Lao Zhou’s meatballs in ages, Jiahui, let’s eat together."

"No, Xiao Lin and I won’t eat tonight, just fruits."

Knowing girls’ nighttime dieting habits, Dad didn’t insist, "Alright, as you wish, there are apples, watermelons, bananas in the kitchen, take whatever you want."

Since Xu Xiangbei cured Grandpa’s eyes last time, his vision improved a lot, recognizing Xu Xiangbei at once as the doctor who treated him.

Grandpa warmly held Xu Xiangbei’s hand, "Dr. Xu, hello, we meet again."

Xu Xiangbei politely chatted with Grandpa, "Hello, Grandpa, how’s your health lately?"

After dinner, Xu Xiangbei and Ouyang Yude went into the study.

Ouyang Yude questioned Xu Xiangbei curiously, "Why suddenly interested in Four Fly Iron Gall, what’s going on?"

Xu Xiangbei showed Ouyang Yude the video of Xiao Ye Fengciro: "I’m dueling this guy, I don’t use weapons, only Four Fly Iron Gall. I’m unclear on some details, please guide me."

Seeing Xiao Ye Fengciro’s lightning-fast sword, Ouyang Yude yanked out cold sweat, seriously, "This is truly a formidable enemy, are you certain about dueling him?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xu Xiangbei’s expression was resolute, "Yes, this duel is not just about myself, but many people’s destinies."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s determination, Ouyang Yude nodded, "Come with me to the small woods."
