248: Chapter 248 Benefactor!

"Holy crap!"

The Young Woman stood there, watching Ye Xiaojing run toward Ye Qing, her eyes widening in shock—she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing!

"Just a moment ago, you said looks didn't matter, and that strength was the most important thing!"

"Your behavior right now doesn't seem as innocent as what you claimed!"

"Could it be that you can tell someone's strength just by looking at their face?!"

In an instant, the Young Woman began to grumble in her heart.

However, she still felt that Ye Xiaojing was acting a bit unusual, so she stood to the side and observed her movements.

"Why does this feel so strange!"

On the other side, Ye Qing noticed Ye Xiaojing running toward him.

What was this girl running over to him for?

Just as Ye Qing was feeling puzzled, Ye Xiaojing had already arrived in front of him.

"Benefactor!"

"Hm?!" Ye Qing was left looking confused after hearing this address.

Behind them, the other Young Woman, who had originally thought this was the beginning of a sweet romance, had also walked over, prepared to listen to their conversation. However, the moment Ye Xiaojing spoke, she was left speechless!

"What kind of address is that? This is too bizarre. Good grief. What the heck is a 'benefactor'?"

"Who are you?" Ye Qing asked, looking at Ye Xiaojing.

Ye Xiaojing: "..."

She didn't know what to say. However, on the day her Benefactor had breached the Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters and rescued many people, she had been in quite a disheveled state—completely different from how she looked now—so it was normal that her Benefactor didn't recognize her.

"Benefactor, did you breach the Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters back then? Did you wipe out the entire Demon Spirit Guard all by yourself?"

"Hmm, that does sound like something that happened." Ye Qing thought for a moment and nodded.

"Back then, you also rescued me. I was one of the people being held by the Demon Spirit Guard." As Ye Xiaojing spoke, her face filled with excitement, as if she had returned to the moment Ye Qing told her to leave.

Behind them, the other Young Woman listened to Ye Xiaojing's words, and her body stiffened! Good grief! So that's what happened!

Ye Xiaojing had told her about this story before. It was this person who, single-handedly with his Spirit Weapon, had wiped out the entire Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters!

According to Ye Xiaojing's original words, when she and the other imprisoned Young Women emerged from the underground, all they saw before them were severed limbs and broken bodies!

Although she hadn't seen what methods Ye Qing used to slaughter them, they must have been terrifying. Of course, such methods were letting those thugs off easy.

Her words made Ye Qing recall it; it did seem like that had happened! "I remember now." "So you're from the Magic City."

"Yes. Back then, I went to Jinling Barrier to take care of some business, but I ended up being captured by the Demon Spirit Guard. I was imprisoned and tortured. If it weren't for you, I would probably be nothing but bones by now."

As Ye Xiaojing spoke, she still felt a lingering fear regarding the days she was imprisoned by the Demon Spirit Guard.

"Benefactor, why have you come to the Magic City?" "I was invited here to stay for a few days."

As Ye Qing spoke, Ye Xiaojing's eyes lit up upon hearing this. So Ye Qing was going to stay in the Magic City for a while. This was perfect.

"Benefactor, are you busy with anything right now? If you don't have anything to do, why don't you come to my house? My family is holding a grand banquet today. How about it?"

Ye Xiaojing said this with an expectant expression on her face. After all, since returning, she had thought about going to Jinling Barrier several times to repay Ye Qing for his kindness, but having been bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years; she hadn't dared to go out easily, dragging it out until today. The guilt in her heart had only grown stronger.

But meeting Ye Qing in the Magic City was truly a heaven-sent opportunity. If she didn't invite him now, when would she?

"Sure, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll go over and mooch a meal off you."

"Benefactor, how can you say that? I haven't even asked for your name yet." "Ye Qing."

Ye Qing?! Why did that name feel somewhat familiar? However, Ye Xiaojing shook her head and then led Ye Qing away toward the distance.

Behind them, the other Young Woman also followed. She looked at the two in front, and a maternal smile immediately appeared on her face. Would something sweet happen between these two because of this? It was hard to say. It really was hard to say.

A while later, they arrived at the Ye residence. The Ye family estate was not small at all.

"Your family's estate is quite substantial in the Magic City." At Ye Qing's words, Ye Xiaojing waved her hand, just about to be modest.

Beside them, the other Young Woman interjected, "That's true. Xiaojing's family has Town General Rank Powerful Experts. In the Magic City, although there are many Powerful Experts, a Town General Rank can still hold their own."

Town General Rank. Ye Qing sighed. As expected, the level of the Barrier makes a difference, and the treatment received is also different.

Only Town General Rank Powerful Experts in the Magic City could live in a place like this. But in a second-tier Barrier, a Town General Rank Powerful Expert is already the ceiling-level existence; they are already the City Lord. They can have as much space as they want.

"Let's go, let's go inside." Ye Xiaojing led the way, bringing the two of them inside.

Inside, the Ye family members saw Ye Xiaojing return. Then, their gazes turned toward Ye Qing. This... who is this? How come Xiaojing went out and brought back a young man they'd never seen before? How strange.

They walked over and looked at him. "Xiaojing, who is this?"

"Uncle, this is my Benefactor! Ye Qing!"

"Hm?!" The words left the uncle stunned. What kind of address was that? The few figures walking over behind him were equally stunned, and they also looked toward Ye Qing. What did "Benefactor" mean?

After Ye Xiaojing explained, they understood! This was the youth who had rescued Xiaojing back then!

They looked at Ye Qing. According to what Xiaojing had said back then, this person had wiped out the entire Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters and completely eradicated the Demon Spirit Guard. There were Grandmaster Rank Powerful Experts within the Demon Spirit Guard.

For this youth to be able to do this, he must at least be at the Grandmaster Rank. To reach the Grandmaster Rank at such a young age? They were horrified in their hearts.

After all, Ye Qing was not from the Magic City. In the Magic City, reaching the Grandmaster Rank at this age wouldn't be surprising. But in a second-tier Barrier like the Jinling Barrier, having such talent was a different story!

In the future, he might even reach the Town General Rank or even the Marquis Realm! These thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, but they quickly suppressed them.

Regardless, this youth was Xiaojing's benefactor, so they had to treat him well today.

The uncle smiled and looked at Ye Qing. "Ye Qing, please, come in. Sit down and have a cup of tea first. I'll go get the old master. You rescued Xiaojing, so you are our family's benefactor. Xiaojing, take him to the living room quickly and serve him good tea."
