When others heard the middle-aged woman from the Zhang Family saying that there are hundreds of thousand gold coins, tens of pills, one scroll, and two High-Grade Spirit Rank Swords and thousands of spirit stones in the spatial ring of Ye Xiao, they were surprised to the extreme.

"What? Are you for real?"

"Thousands of spirit stones? Just who is this brat?"

"He must be the young master of some big family from the First Grade Kingdom or maybe, he is someone from the imperial city of the Grand Xia Empire!"

All of them started talking among themselves.

"It does not matter who he is, what matters here is what is he doing here? How does he come here? And the most important, if he does not take the Golden Brick then who stole it?" The First Elder of the Wang Family said in low voice. Hearing him, all of them once again became silent.

Since the middle-aged lady from the Zhang Family did not mention anything about the Golden Brick after searching through the contents in Ye Xiao's spatial ring, they understood that the Golden Brick was not there and Ye Xiao did not steal it.

Then again, the question was if Ye Xiao did not steal the Golden Brick then who was the one to steal it?

All six Martial Emperor Realm martial artists looked at the members of their families but on the face of every member of their families, they could clearly see confusion written on it.

It means that every people, who were present here, did not know where the Golden Brick has gone to or who took it?

"Maybe, this brat has hidden the Golden Brick somewhere here and wanted to escape first so that even if he was caught, we would be unable to find anything and when we will leave from here, he will come here once again and take away the Golden Brick!" Ma Bao looked at unconscious Ye Xiao and said in hatred. He hated Ye Xiao because Ye Xiao did not give him face.

"Maybe or maybe not!" The middle-aged lady of the Zhang Family said.

"What do you mean?" The Second Elder of the Ma Family asked coldly.

"We can not say anything clearly right now. My suggestion is that we should take him with us. He is very weak right now and his condition is also serious. It looks like he has used his spirit energy above his limit." The middle-aged lady smiled at the Second Elder of the Ma Family and gave him a reply.

When she said this, a scene suddenly appeared in Ma Bao's mind. He suddenly remembered that just as he was about to cut the neck of Ye Xiao, a very terrifying aura erupted out from Ye Xiao's body, and only because of that aura, he lost his consciousness and was sent flying.

"Ma Bao, it was you who inured him, right?" The middle-aged lady looked at Ma Bao and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"I did not." Ma Bao directly refused to admit it.

"Ma Bao, he is seriously injured and you also said previously that you came here and stopped this little boy from escaping after hearing the commotion caused by this boy and Zhang Yan!" The middle-aged lady said but this time, there was no smile on her face.

Zhang Yan was the name of the big brother of Zhang San who was also the burly man who told Ye Xiao to stop when he was just about to enter the dark tunnel and escape from this place.

"I did attack him but my attack did not even touch him. You can ask anyone who was here at that time." Ma Bao also did not step back but replied coldly.

When other five Martial Emperor Realm experts looked at other people who were here previously after hearing what Ma Bao said, they saw all those people nodding their heads including Zhang Yan.

Their meaning was clear. This also proved that what Ma Bao said was true.

But again, the question was how does Ye Xiao become like this? He suffered greatly and he was in a very week condition right now.

Ma Bao suddenly said, "I remembered that just as I was about to cut this brat's neck, a very terrifying aura erupted from his body. Because of that aura, I was sent flying and lost my consciousness."

"Are you sure about this?" This time, it was the Second Elder of the Ma Family who said this because they all also fainted but it was due to a different reason. This different reason was the terrifying thunderstorm, the shadow of the dragon, and the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, I am sure about this." Ma Bao immediately nodded his head. That scene was still clear in his mind. How can he not be sure?

"This..." These experts started to look at each other.

"Maybe, he used a secret technique to stimulate out his potential so that he can fight against Ma Bao. And If this is the case, it also explains why this brat is in this condition" The younger brother of the current patriarch of the Wang family said after thinking for a while.

"Maybe!" The First Elder of the Wang Family also nodded his head and agreed with the younger brother of his patriarch.

"But how can a brat like him have a secret technique?" It was Ma Bao who said this.

"If he can have thousands of spirit stones on him then why can he not have a Secret Technique. As I said before, maybe, this brat belongs to a big family of either a Grade One Country or the imperial city of the Grand Xia Empire." The middle-aged lady of the Zhang Family said.

"Ok, let's stop this!" The First Elder of the Wang Family said. After hearing him, the middle-aged lady snorted at Ma Bao and started to look in a different direction. The First Elder of the Ma Family continued, "No matter who this boy is, it has nothing to do with us. What matters is whether this boy stole the Golden Brick or not."

"Yes!" Others nodded their heads.

"What we need to do now is to take this brat with us and heal him. When he wakes up, it will be time to interrogate him. At that time, not only we find out whether he took the Golden Brick or not, we may also find out where does he came from. If he is really from the first-grade country or the imperial city of the Grand Xia Empire, we can try to build a relationship between us and this boy's family through him." The First Elder of the Wang Family again said.

"Yes, we will do as the First Elder said, but... but this boy will not go to any family to recuperate." The Second Elder of the Ma Family said.

The middle-aged man and woman from the Zhang Family also nodded their heads and agreed with the Second Elder of the Ma Family for the first time.

"But if that is the case, then where will we keep him?" Asked the middle-aged man.

"The Phoenix Restaurant. We will keep him on the third floor of the Phoenix Restaurant. There he can also recover from his injuries much faster." The Second Elder of the Ma Family said and no one objected to him this time. They also agreed with him.

No one wanted to let other families obtain the benefit. Because of this, they decided to let Ye Xiao heal on the third floor of the Phoenix Restaurant.

After everything was decided, all of them once again searched this entire area for the Golden Brick one last time. After not finding it, they disappointedly walked out from this place via the dark tunnel and started to go back to the Southwood City while taking Ye Xiao with them.

....

"Knock! Knock!"

On the second floor of the Phoenix Restaurant, in a big room, a middle-aged man was playing with a girl when he heard a knock on the room's gate.

"Who is it that dared to disturb me at this time?" The middle-aged man erupted with anger as he stood up, leaving a nude girl on the bed. He opened the door and saw a man about the age of 29 or 30 standing in front of him.

He said in anger, "Didn't I said before that no one is allowed to disturb me?"

That boy trembled in fear but in the next moment, he calmed himself down and said, "Manager Ma, there are seven guests here. They want to go to the third floor of our Phoenix Restaurant."

"Seven guests? Who are they?" After hearing him, manager Ma asked in confusion.

Seven guests who came at once and wanted to go to the third floor, there definitely is something going on.

Manager Ma thought in his heart.
