Wang Ruyan raised her hand, effortlessly catching the incoming sniper bullet as if it were child's play.

"Tenth Senior Sister, you?"

Ye Beichen was somewhat surprised. Tenth Senior Sister was just like him!

Catching a sniper bullet.

How was this possible?

"What, only you're allowed to be a Martial Grandmaster, and I can't be one?" Wang Ruyan smiled sweetly, looking at Ye Beichen.

"Uh..."

Ye Beichen could hardly believe it.

At this moment, the two snipers below were even more shocked than Ye Beichen.

After seeing the billion-dollar bounty on the Heaven Kill Forum, they wanted to kill Ye Beichen to claim the reward.

But they never expected that both Ye Beichen and Wang Ruyan were Martial Grandmasters.

"Damn it! Let's go."

One of the ace snipers shouted, abandoning his sniper rifle and disappearing into the night like a rabbit.

The other one also turned and left, heading in the opposite direction.

They knew that once Ye Beichen and Wang Ruyan landed, they would immediately hunt them down.

By splitting up, one of them might have a slim chance of survival!

At about a hundred meters above the lake, Ye Beichen looked at Wang Ruyan: "Tenth Senior Sister, be careful. I'm going after them."

After saying this, Ye Beichen unfastened his parachute and plummeted toward the lake.

A hundred meters high, for an ordinary person, hitting the water would be no different from hitting concrete.

But Ye Beichen jumped straight down, and when he was about five meters from the water, a surge of True Qi erupted from his body, allowing him to land gently on the surface.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Beichen sped off, chasing after one of the snipers.

Wang Ruyan watched everything from the air, unable to help but say, "Junior Brother's strength is becoming more terrifying. Could he have reached that level?"

The first sniper was fast, leaving the Long Lake area and dashing across the road outside.

"Damn it! He's coming!"

The first sniper glanced back and saw Ye Beichen emerging from the woods on the opposite side of the road, about to charge out: "This guy, no wonder there's a billion-dollar bounty on his head."

"Such a terrifying figure, even for a twenty billion bounty, how many people in the Dragon Nation could take him on?"

Without time to think, the first sniper turned and ran.

"As long as I get into the crowd, I'll be safe!"

"I don't believe he can find me, Scorpion, in a crowd!" Scorpion remained calm; he was an ace sniper and an ace assassin.

Even if the assassination failed, he could blend into the crowd at the fastest speed.

Once he became an ordinary person, he didn't believe Ye Beichen could catch him.

"Great, there's a night market ahead." Scorpion chuckled, darting into a dark corner.

When Ye Beichen arrived, all that was left on the ground was a jacket.

"Escaped?"

Ye Beichen frowned, looking toward the night market ahead, and sneered, "Do you think you can get away?"

He walked into the night market with his hands behind his back, looking like an ordinary college student.

At this moment, in a corner of the night market, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Qian were each holding a bowl of stinky tofu.

Both wore short shorts, accentuating their hourglass figures.

Their long legs were on full display.

Many guys in the night market couldn't help but look over.

Someone even approached with a polite smile, "Young lady, can I have your contact information?"

"I have a boyfriend."

Xia Ruoxue replied coolly.

The guy smiled awkwardly and left sensibly.

Sun Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Ruoxue, what are you doing? That guy was so handsome."

"Why did you say you have a boyfriend?"

"Everyone knows, you're Xia Ruoxue, the beautiful single for twenty-three years."

Xia Ruoxue laughed, "Being a single aristocrat is great."

"You, you're just stubborn. Why do you put yourself through this? In college, so many handsome seniors chased you, and you rejected them all, saying you had a boyfriend. What a waste." Sun Qian complained.

Xia Ruoxue's looks were impeccable!

Sun Qian was also a beauty, and when she walked alone on the street, people would ask for her contact information!

But when she was with Xia Ruoxue, no one asked her; they all asked Xia Ruoxue!

Even in college, talent scouts approached, inviting Xia Ruoxue to debut in a girl group!

But she refused them all!

"Those who chase me aren't sincere." Xia Ruoxue gently shook her head.

Sun Qian said irritably, "Are you still thinking about that high school classmate of yours?"

"Didn't you say before that his family suffered a tragedy, like they were wiped out?"

"Maybe he's long dead."

"Sun Qian, stop talking nonsense!" Xia Ruoxue's eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face turning cold, her tone growing stern.

Sun Qian was startled, quickly explaining, "My dear Ruoxue, I was just joking."

"Why are you so serious? Fine, I apologize."

"Today, I'll treat you to spicy crayfish, okay?"

Xia Ruoxue frowned, then her eyes shifted, spotting a familiar figure in the crowd.

Is it him?

Xia Ruoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she shook off Sun Qian!

Even tossing her stinky tofu into a nearby trash can!

She jogged toward that familiar silhouette!

"Ruoxue, what's up? I said something wrong, I'm sorry, don't be mad." Sun Qian, still clueless, also tossed her stinky tofu and hurried to catch up.

'Is it him?'

'Is it really him?'

'The silhouette is so similar! Even after five years, it's still the same!'

'Is it really him?' Xia Ruoxue followed behind, her heart pounding like a deer, thumping wildly.

She took a deep breath, quickening her pace, about to tap the person's shoulder.

Suddenly, the person turned around sharply.

Ye Beichen's face showed a hint of surprise; he had sensed someone following him, thinking it was an assassin trying to ambush him!

Just as he was about to turn and catch the person off guard, he realized it was a girl!

"Ye Beichen, it's really you!"

Xia Ruoxue trembled with excitement.

"You are... Xia Ruoxue?" Ye Beichen was taken aback, recognizing the girl in front of him.

His high school deskmate!

"Yes... it's me." Xia Ruoxue suddenly didn't know where to put her hands and feet, her pretty face flushed red.

"Ruoxue, Ruoxue!"

Sun Qian panted heavily, her chest heaving as she reached the two of them: "You... you... whew... why did you run?"

"I'm exhausted!"

"I just said something wrong, at worst I'll take it back."

"The person you're thinking about might not be dead."

"Even though his parents and brother were killed, his body wasn't found, right?"

"What if he's still alive and well?" Sun Qian finished in one breath.

Ye Beichen was a bit surprised; was the person this girl talked about him?

Xia Ruoxue's face turned even redder, and she stomped on Sun Qian's foot: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What person I'm thinking about!"

"What?" Sun Qian looked adorably confused.

"Oh, stop talking."

Xia Ruoxue's face was shyly flushed, stomping her feet in place!

Sun Qian suddenly understood; Xia Ruoxue, who remained calm even in front of Zhonghai University's most outstanding seniors, had never lost her composure!

But today, Xia Ruoxue was different.

In front of this man, she was like a little girl!

Sun Qian, being smart, immediately guessed Ye Beichen's identity and exclaimed, "Ah, you're the man our Ruoxue has been pining for?"
