Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Surveillance Screen

"What’s going on? It looks like Miss Fei’Er knows that Ye Xing guy?"

"There’s definitely something going on between them!" "Haha, a secret romance!"

The film crew in the private room joked around.

"What? What nonsense are you all talking about!" Murong Feifei said, annoyed and embarrassed. "I’ve only met him once before. Including today, this is only the second time!"

"Oh, a one-night stand!" "And with masks, too."

"Hey, that’s going a little too far. Don’t be a bad influence on Fei’Er."

"Haha, Miss Fei’Er, hurry up and tell us! If you don’t, we might just let our imaginations run wild and start spouting nonsense!"

"Hehe, hurry and satisfy our burning curiosity."

The members of the film crew in the private room instantly turned into a pack of gossips, their curiosity burning brightly. Since her debut, Murong Feifei had been involved in very few scandals—in fact, almost none at all, which was extremely rare in the entertainment industry. Now, hearing the slightest hint of something, everyone was incredibly curious and eager to get to the bottom of it.

"It’s really nothing," Murong Feifei said. "One day I was crossing the street and almost got hit by a truck, and Ye Xing saved me."

"Haha, he saved your life! Is Miss Fei’Er planning to repay him by dedicating herself to him?"

"Right, I think I heard Miss Fei’Er call Ye Xing a liar from outside the door. Why was that?"

The film crew members asked.

"You guys have no idea, that guy is the worst. I was so grateful to him at the time. I wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him, so I specifically asked for his name. But he—" Murong Feifei’s beautiful eyes flashed with annoyance as she gritted her teeth. "He actually told me his name was Lei Feng! And I actually believed him back then. It was only after thinking it over that I realized something was off. He’s just a liar."

"Hahaha, Miss Fei’Er, you’re so naive!"

"Hehe, Ye Xing, you’re shameless. How could you trick someone like that?"

Ye Xing was suddenly embarrassed. He threw up his hands and said, "I wasn’t thinking that far ahead. I never expected to run into her again. Besides, it was just something I did on the fly. All this thanking back and forth is such a hassle. By the way, Miss Feifei, that habit of yours of looking at your phone in the middle of the road is really bad. Have you broken it yet?"

"I have! I was scared to death last time. How could I possibly dare to do it again?" Murong Feifei said.

"Miss Fei’Er, why do you go out without bodyguards? It’s really too dangerous. You were nearly in a car accident. If anything had happened to you, how would I explain it to Mr. Murong?" Director Zhang Yilin said with a serious expression. "You can’t do this again, understand?"

"Mm, I know. I was really just going out for a walk," Murong Feifei said.

"Alright, as long as Miss Fei’Er is okay, that’s all that matters. Come on, everyone, let’s eat! The food is getting cold."

"Right, Ye Xing saved Miss Fei’Er. As a member of the crew, I have to thank Ye Xing. Come on, Ye Xing, let me toast you!"

"Okay, sure!" Ye Xing immediately raised his glass and downed it in one go.

"I’m part of the crew too! Come on, I’ll toast Ye Xing as well!"

"I’ll toast Ye Xing too!"

Suddenly, the crew members started taking turns toasting Ye Xing.

’So these guys are trying to get me drunk, huh? Fine, I’ll play along. Let’s see who gets drunk first!’ Ye Xing’s expression was odd, and the corner of his mouth curled into a mischievous smile. He quickly began to return their toasts one by one.

Round after round, glass after glass of beer went down. The actors who had wanted to get Ye Xing drunk were now all completely smashed, dizzy and slurring their words.

These guys challenging Ye Xing to a drinking contest were just asking to get plastered. How could they possibly be a match for him? The moment the alcohol entered his stomach, Ye Xing could immediately circulate his qi to evaporate it. So, while they were all passed out drunk, Ye Xing wasn’t even slightly tipsy.

After the banquet ended, Ye Xing immediately got into his Porsche, left Fu City, and sped toward Luoxian County.

On the smooth, winding highway, the Porsche sped along, overtaking car after car.

"RING RING RING, you are my little, little apple, like the sky..."

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

Ye Xing immediately took the phone out of his pocket, swiped the screen, and answered the call.

"Hey! Old Fourth, what are you calling me for? I’ve already left Fu City. I’m almost at Luoxian County!"

"Hey! Old Third, you’re in big trouble!" Zheng Yiming said frantically over the phone.

"Uh, what? What kind of big trouble?" Ye Xing asked, confused.

"Do you remember that Old Li from this morning?" Zheng Yiming said.

"What about him? Did something happen to Old Li?"

"Nothing happened to him! Far from it!" Zheng Yiming’s voice was thrilled. "Just a few hours ago, Old Li went with the ambulance crew to the hospital for a check-up, and guess what? All of his illnesses are completely gone."

"Er, isn’t that a good thing?" Ye Xing said. "What kind of trouble could that be?"

"That’s exactly the problem! Do you know what kind of illnesses Old Li had? Coronary heart disease and a myocardial infarction—he had a very serious heart condition that the city’s central hospital couldn’t cure after a long time. On top of that, he had pneumonia and cervical spondylosis. That spondylosis was degenerative, which should be nearly impossible to recover from. But they’re all fucking gone! Old Third, your medical skills are simply heaven-defying!" Zheng Yiming’s tone was ecstatic. "There are a ton of reporters at my clinic right now wanting to do interviews. Old Third, do you want to be famous? If you do, get over here now! This shit is going to be all over the news and in the papers!"

"I don’t have time. If you want to be in the papers, you go ahead. By the way, your clinic is famous now, isn’t that a good thing?" Ye Xing chuckled.

"Holy shit, you’re really not coming? By the way, Old Third, when did your medical skills get so good? How come I never knew?"

"They’re alright, I guess. I just used a bit of acupuncture. Maybe I had an exceptional performance. It was a total fluke. Anyway, I’m driving right now, so it’s not convenient to talk. That’s all, I’m hanging up now." Ye Xing immediately hung up the phone.

After returning to Luoxian County, Ye Xing was invited to have dinner with Frank, Wu Qiang, and some others. By the time he returned to Bilin Village, it was already six in the evening.

"WOOF WOOF!" "WOOF WOOF!"

After returning to his ancestral home, little Erhei was overjoyed. He scampered on his short little legs directly into the kitchen, grabbed a rag with his mouth, and started cleaning.

"Haha, Erhei, there are Qi Nourishing Pills and Demon Beast Meat in the fridge. I’m leaving the ancestral home in your care. I need to make a trip to the Martial Arts Continent." After giving little Erhei a few instructions, Ye Xing went to the old well in the backyard, passed through the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate, and returned to the cave on White Cloud Mountain in the Martial Arts Continent.

The cave passage was somewhat dim, but this didn’t affect Ye Xing’s ability to walk. As a Martial Artist of the Martial Arts Third Realm, his eyesight was naturally far superior to that of an ordinary person. Even in the dim light, he could still make out the path. Thus, without even bothering to turn on a flashlight, Ye Xing walked straight down the passage and arrived in the Training Room.

He activated the bookshelf mechanism to cover the secret passage again, then checked the surveillance video.

There were numerous surveillance monitors in the Training Room, which monitored the entire forest and mountain paths of White Cloud Mountain. Therefore, whenever he returned to the Training Room, Ye Xing had a habit of glancing at the monitor screens to get up to date on the latest situation on White Cloud Mountain.

Today was no exception. Ye Xing’s gaze swept over the surveillance monitors.

However, when his eyes fell on one of the monitor screens, his expression changed drastically. He stared intently at the screen, his expression becoming extremely tense.
