Chapter 395: Perv

Seeing Su Zi and Su Mu's expressions, Ye Guan furrowed his brows. Did the term

girlfriend

have another meaning? Mu Wanyu had told him that it didn't have any other meaning like the word

boyfriend

.

"Forget it." Su Mu shook his head and said, "Your affairs are your own to handle."

He waved his hand, and the black-robed old man in front of Ye Guan stepped back.

Su Mu smiled at Ye Guan and said, "Regardless, thanks for saving Su Zi."

"It was nothing, Old Master," Ye Guan said with a nod. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Su Mu smiled. "Sure."

Ye Guan nodded once more before turning around to leave.

Su Zi followed after him.

Su Mu watched as Ye Guan left and asked, "What do you think?"

The black-robed old man stared deeply at Ye Guan and remarked, "He is neither too humble nor too assertive. His demeanor is extraordinary, and he is certainly not an ordinary person."

"Someone capable of using a twig to pierce someone else's throat cannot possibly be an ordinary person," Su Mu said.

The black-robed old man fell silent with a solemn expression. Su Mu was right. Ye Guan had done something that an ordinary person couldn't have possibly done. In other words, there was a high chance that he might be a martial artist.

Su Mu shook his head with a smile. "Let them be."

The black-robed old man hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should I investigate his background?"

Su Mu thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No need."

The black-robed old man stared at Su Mu.

Su Mu added, "There's no need so long as he remains without ill intent toward Su Zi"

The black-robed old man nodded slightly and went silent.

...

Su Zi observed Ye Guan with a curious expression. Each and every person who had met her grandfather had been greatly nervous just standing in front of her grandfather, but Ye Guan showed no signs of nervousness.

On the contrary, he exuded composure and an air that seemed to match Su Mu.

Just what kind of person are you?

Su Zi couldn't help but feel intrigued.

Su Zi suddenly recalled something and asked, "Why did you refuse my grandfather's money?"

Ye Guan smiled and answered, "I did not save you for a reward."

Su Zi asked, "Then why?"

Ye Guan replied, "Because I consider you a friend."

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and asked, "A friend?"

Ye Guan nodded and explained, "I think you and Miss Wanyu are kind people."

Su Zi fell silent.

Ye Guan felt Su Zi's gaze on him and scratched his cheek.

"Is there something dirty on my face?" he asked.

Su Zi shook her head.

Ye Guan chuckled and was about to say something when a middle-aged woman walked up to them. The middle-aged woman was wearing a fiery red dress, and her complexion was perfect despite her age.

She appeared extremely prim and proper, but Su Zi frowned upon seeing her.

The middle-aged woman stared alternatingly between Ye Guan and Su Zi before her gaze settled on Ye Guan.

"You're Su Zi's boyfriend?" she asked.

Ye Guan nodded lightly and asked, "And you are?"

Su Zi glanced at Ye Guan but remained silent.

The middle-aged woman frowned and asked, “Where do you work?”

Ye Guan's brows knitted at the question.

Su Zi sounded cold as she chimed in, "Li Mu, his work is none of your business."

However, Li Mu ignored Su Zi and smiled slyly at Ye Guan.

"Chasing after someone out of your league may cost you your life," she said.

Ye Guan stared quietly at Li Mu.

Li Mu then turned to Su Zi and said, "Su Zi, it seems that I have to remind you that Wang Yue won't be too happy to see you around other men."

Su Zi's face instantly turned cold. "That is none of his business."

Li Mu chuckled and then looked at Ye Guan. "Su Zi, good looks aren't enough. A man needs strength and background as well. One should only chase after those on the same level as them; otherwise, one will meet a horrible fate, just like your mother—"

"Li Mu!" Su Zi roared. She glared fiercely at Li Mu with eyes spewing fire. "Speak of my mother again, and I will..."

"What?" Li Mu sneered and asked, "Are you going to hit me? I'm still your stepmother. Hit me, and you'll be in the national news tomorrow, Su Zi. What? You think I can't do something like that? Try me—"

Ye Guan grabbed Li Mu by the throat.

Su Zi stared at Ye Guan with stupefaction. Li Mu was as shocked as Su Zi. She truly didn't expect that Ye Guan would grab her by the throat from out of the blue. Her pupils constricted in horror as Ye Guan tightened his grip on her throat.

Ye Guan stared at Li Mu and said, "Apologize, and I'll let you go. How about that?"

Li Mu was instantly furious, but Ye Guan tightened his grip on Li Mu's throat.

Crack!

Li Mu's neck started creaking beneath Ye Guan's grip. Li Mu's pupils constricted, and the sense of impending doom made her nod furiously.

Ye Guan released her, and the exhausted Li Mu almost collapsed to the ground.

Ye Guan looked down at Li Mu and said, "Now apologize."

"Help!" Li Mu suddenly screamed, "Help!"

Ye Guan decisively grabbed Li Mu's hair and slammed her head to the floor.

A resounding crack echoed, and the floor shattered beneath Li Mu's face. Blood instantly drenched Li Mu's face, shocking the crowd that had gathered in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu had just arrived along with the crowd, and he was in complete shock at the scene that had unfolded before him.

Ye Guan remained unfazed by the chaos he had caused and turned to Li Mu. With an eerie calmness, he said, "Apologize. I'm not demanding your life; I just want you to apologize. Is that too much to ask?"

Li Mu's face was distorted in both pain and fury. She glared hatefully at Ye Guan and screamed, "Someone get him!"

"Don't move!" Su Zi yelled, and the Su Family guards came to a halt. Caught between the two commands, they hesitated until finally rushing toward Su Mu.

Su Mu stared quietly at Ye Guan. Ye Guan raised his hand to strike Li Mu, but Su Zi grabbed his hand and glanced at him, signaling him to stop. Li Mu was a member of the influential Wang Clan, and the consequences of provoking them were dire.

Ye Guan turned toward Su Mu and said, “Old Master Su Mu, you're wise, so why are you keeping a fool like her in the Su Residence? A foolish wife can bring calamity to an entire family. In my hometown, people like her are often scorned, so why is she here?

"I'll spare her life for Miss Su's sake, but she'll have to bear the consequences if she dares to avenge herself."

With that, Ye Guan turned around and left.

Su Zi followed closely behind him.

The black-robed old man next to Su Mu said, "Old Master, I could feel it. That young man was about to kill her just now.”

Su Mu emerged from his contemplation and said, "Investigate his background."

The black-robed old man nodded and left.

Su Mu cast a disgusted gaze on Li Mu groaning on the ground in pain. If it hadn't been for her connection to the Wang Clan, he would have abandoned her long ago.

What an idiot!

...

Ye Guan closed his eyes while walking down the street outside the Su Residence. He tried to circulate the Universe Beholdment Skill, but the spiritual energy of this planet was so scarce that Ye Guan could barely squeeze a few particles of spiritual energy from the air. Regardless, Ye Guan appreciated it.

Su Zi walked up to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan opened his eyes and stared at Su Zi.

Su Zi asked, "Are you angry?"

"That woman was your stepmother?" Ye Guan asked back.

Su Zi nodded with a gloomy expression. "My father met her at the Boundless Club..."

Ye Guan's expression went stiff. He finally understood why she got so angry when he mentioned his desire to go to the Boundless Club. Ye Guan pondered briefly before asking, "Was she the reason you decided to share an apartment with Miss Mu?"

Su Zi nodded and replied, "I don't like to stay there."

"Can you bring me back to the apartment?" asked Ye Guan.

"Yes," Su Zi said and stared at Ye Guan. "I want to go back, too!"

Ye Guan was surprised. "Really?"

Su Zi nodded.

Ye Guan seemed to dislike the idea.

"Someone's out for your life, so I think you should stay here,” Ye Guan said.

"What if..." Su Zi trailed off before suggesting. "What if I hired you as my bodyguard?”

Ye Guan was taken aback. "Your Bodyguard?"

"You still want to go to the Boundless Club, right?" Su Zi asked.

Ye Guan nodded. If the Boundless Master had made the Boundless Club, then there were bound to be some clues. Ye Guan was determined to visit the Boundless Club here and check the facts for himself.

"Do you know how much it costs to become a VIP at the Boundless Club?" Su Zi asked with a smile.

Ye Guan shook his head.

Su Zi raised a finger. "You need to spend at least two million dollars every year."

"You should raise two fingers for that." Ye Guan pointed out.

Su Zi grinned and continued. "And that's just for becoming a regular VIP. You need to spend at least a hundred million a year to become a part of the upper echelons."

A hundred million?

Ye Guan fell silent.

"I'll pay you thirty thousand dollars per month as my bodyguard." Su Zi offered with a smile. "How does that sound?"

Ye Guan was surprised, and he quickly nodded. "That works."

Su Zi's demeanor brightened. She handed over a bundle of money worth thirty thousand dollars and said, "Consider this your first month's salary."

Ye Guan hesitated. Eventually, he accepted the money and said, "All right."

"You've taken the money, so no backsies now, okay?" Su Zi asked with a grin.

"Of course." Ye Guan nodded.

Su Zi chuckled and said, "All right, let's go home."

The two got into Su Zi's car, and they made their way back to Purple County.

Ye Guan was greeted by Mu Wanyu the moment they opened the door. At that moment, Mu Wanyu was wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin. Shockingly, she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

The three froze like statues and stared at each other blankly.

Mu Wanyu gasped. She turned around and ran back to her room.

Ye Guan flushed red from embarrassment.

Su Zi's gaze locked onto Ye Guan, and she asked, "Did you see anything?"

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before replying, "No, I did not see anything."

He wasn't dumb, and he knew what to say to such a question.

Ye Guan looked away, and there was an unspoken tension in the air as Su Zi's gaze remained fixed on Ye Guan.

Just then, Mu Wanyu emerged from her room. Clad in a long nightgown that clung modestly to her figure, her face was as rosy as a ripe apple as she asked, "Why are you guys back so soon?"

"I couldn't get used to staying outside," Ye Guan said with a chuckle.

Mu Wanyu asked, "Hungry?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Let me whip up something for you, then!" Mu Wanyu exclaimed.

Thirty minutes later, the trio sat in front of the dining table.

Mu Wanyu couldn't contain her surprise as she exclaimed, "A bodyguard?"

"Yes." Ye Guan nodded. "Once I've earned enough money, I'm planning on visiting the Boundless Club. If my search there ends up futile, I might have to make my way to Yanjing."

Yanjing! Su Zi and Mu Wanyu both froze at the revelation.

Mu Wanyu grinned and exclaimed, "Perfect! I'm graduating this month, and I've been eyeing a trip to Yanjing. We can be travel buddies by then."

Ye Guan grinned as well and said, "Sounds great!"

Su Zi chimed in, "Count me in!"

Ye Guan turned to Su Zi, and she met his gaze with a faint smile. "We're bidding on a land in Yanjing. The Su Family has also been wanting to make an entrance into the Yanjing market for quite a while now. So, if everything goes swimmingly, I'll have to go there as well!"

Ye Guan chuckled. "That works out perfectly. I guess we'll have each other's company by then."

"Yes," Su Zi replied with a grin.

Mu Wanyu suddenly chimed in, "Are you going to ask for girls once you're at the Boundless Club?"

Ye Guan was taken aback. "Girls?"

"Yes." Mu Wanyu nodded, "I mean, you need to spend first to become a VIP."

Ye Guan was about to speak when he noticed that both women were staring at him without blinking. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well..."

Mu Wanyu glanced at Ye Guan and whispered, "I heard the girls there are not only beautiful, but they're exceedingly bold as well. They know how to entice men..."

Ye Guan chuckled and asked, "Are any of them as beautiful as you two?"

The two women were stunned.

Ye Guan took a bite of his meal and continued. "If they aren't as beautiful as you two, then they won't be able to tempt me!"

The two women chuckled at the same time.

However, Mu Wanyu noticed something in Ye Guan's words and asked, "What if they're more beautiful than us?"

Ye Guan set down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Then I won't resist. I'll let them do as they please."

Mu Wanyu was dumbstruck. She then glared at Ye Guan and said, "Perv!"

Su Zi could only shake her head and laugh.
