Xiao Zeyan escorted Su Miao.
As they left the office, they passed by the training area of the fighting arena.
The young members, upon seeing Xiao Zeyan and Su Miao walking out together, immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted, "Young Master Xiao, Miss Su."
"Since everyone's here, I have an announcement to make. From now on, Su Miao will be a member of our Yueting," Xiao Zeyan said, unusually serious.
"Miss Su is joining Yueting?" Qin Shou exclaimed with delight.
Just a couple of days ago, Brother Yan had mentioned they might not be able to recruit Miss Su, which had upset him for quite a while.
Miss Su's performance in that match was truly spectacular. Given the chance, he'd love to learn a few moves from her.
Su Miao responded with a cool "Mm," and added, "Please guide me."
She was thinking about the milk tea in her fridge at home, eager to return.
"We should be the ones asking for your guidance, Miss Su," Qin Shou said with a smile, his words clearly flattering.
Bi Lou, who was leaning against the edge of the ring, scoffed coldly, "Guidance? What can she teach us? How to suck up to people?"
He really couldn't understand why Young Master Xiao would bring a woman into Yueting.
If he had to bring someone in, he should at least choose someone who looked the part. Look at her delicate skin – does she look anything like someone who fights in underground arenas?
Young Master Xiao, if you want to chase girls, just do it, but bringing her here is really annoying.
"Bi Lou, what nonsense are you spouting?" Qin Shou immediately retorted.
Bi Lou wasn't there on the day of the match, so he hadn't witnessed Miss Su's brilliant performance in the ring. It was understandable that he didn't believe Miss Su could defeat Joker.
But his words were too harsh.
What did he mean by sucking up? Was he implying that Miss Su got into Yueting by sucking up to Young Master Xiao?
Ridiculous!
He hadn't seen how badly they were beaten by Miss Su that day.
Miss Su earned her place in Yueting entirely on the strength of her fists.
"Nonsense? I don't think so," Bi Lou insisted, clearly disapproving of bringing a 'songbird' here. "Beast, don't tell me you've fallen for her too."
Having a pretty face really does wonders. Not only has she captivated Young Master Xiao, but she's also enchanted everyone else in the club.
If it weren't for her good looks, would these fools keep praising her?
They keep saying how amazing Miss Su is – well, being able to captivate so many men at once is indeed quite impressive.
Qin Shou's face darkened.
Could he not call him "Beast" in front of Miss Su? It was fine in private, but what if Miss Su misunderstood?
Because Qin Shou's name sounded similar to "beast" in Chinese, his close acquaintances often called him that directly.
Moreover, what did Bi Lou mean by saying he had fallen for Miss Su too?
Miss Su was so impressive and such a great fighter – it would be perfectly normal for him to be captivated.
Admiring strength was only human nature.
In any case, he simply respected Miss Su.
Su Miao's expression remained calm, clearly unbothered by Bi Lou's words. "I'll give you five minutes," she said suddenly.
This out-of-the-blue statement left everyone confused.
Seeing their lack of understanding, Su Miao raised an eyebrow and explained, "I'm giving you five minutes. If you can defeat me within that time, I'll accept your insult."
Her tone suddenly changed, growing cold, "However, if you can't beat me in five minutes, I'll smash your dog head in."
A collective gasp echoed through the club.
How arrogant!
But those who had been beaten by Su Miao knew she had the skills to back up her words.
Bi Lou stared at Su Miao in disbelief.
She really dared to say that.
Five minutes?
Who did she think she was looking down on? He could make her bite the dust in one minute.
"It's a deal," he said. Just don't go crying to Young Master Xiao later.
A smile played on Su Miao's red lips as she walked towards the ring. As she moved, she took off her light jacket and tied up her long hair, not using a hair tie but instead twisting it into a bun on top of her head.
She leapt onto the ring with a single flip.
Xiao Zeyan just stood there, watching, without saying a word.
Qin Shou temporarily acted as the referee, and the bell rang.
Su Miao cast a glance and said indifferently, "I'll use only one hand for the first five minutes. Don't say I'm bullying you."
Hearing this, Bi Lou laughed angrily, "No need for that."
Although Bi Lou said it wasn't necessary, Su Miao still kept to her word.
In Bi Lou's eyes, however, Su Miao's actions came across as mockery.
He was thoroughly provoked. Not caring whether Young Master Xiao would be angry, he was determined to take down this 'songbird'.
Bi Lou swung his fist with all his might, but Su Miao dodged to the side, choosing not to block the punch.
She had said she'd give him five minutes, so she would stick to it.
Bi Lou grew more furious and lunged again. Su Miao continued to dodge, and for the entire five minutes, Bi Lou couldn't land a single hit on her.
So much for using only one hand – she hadn't used either.
As soon as the five minutes were up, Su Miao stopped holding back.
In a flash, Su Miao's form blurred as she moved, her fists flying out in rapid succession, flesh meeting flesh with brutal impact.
Her fist connected squarely with Bi Lou's jaw, but hitting her target didn't slow her down for even a second. Her fists continued to rain down.
Su Miao made good on her pre-fight promise – she really did smash his head in.
Two minutes later, Bi Lou lay flat on his back in the middle of the ring, his chest heaving as he gasped for air. As for his face...
Let's just say that Su Miao clearly didn't want him to show his face in public anymore. He really did look a bit like a dog.
As the fight ended, the club fell into stunned silence.
Qin Shou, looking at Bi Lou's miserable state, nervously swallowed.
That was brutal.
As the referee, he had the closest view and could hear everything clearly.
The sound of Miss Su's fists hitting Bi Lou's face was extraordinarily loud. It seemed that Miss Su had been quite merciful to them that day.
He silently thanked Miss Su for sparing their lives.
After the fight, Su Miao turned and leaned against the ropes, a playful and unruly smile on her lips. "How was that, Boss Xiao? Satisfied?"
She was already strikingly beautiful, and this carefree and rebellious posture made her even more attractive, exuding charm from every pore.
Xiao Zeyan raised his hands and applauded, his approval evident without words.
It seemed he was indeed satisfied.
Earlier in the office, he had sent more than one message. While instructing Yan Zhuo to take care of some business, he had also sent a message to Bi Lou.
He had told Bi Lou to come over today without fail, saying he had something to discuss.
Bi Lou was the best fighter in the Yueting Club, second only to Jin Wu.
Bi Lou had a hot temper and little patience, especially when it came to women. If he learned that Su Miao had joined Yueting, he would surely lose his cool.
Things had unfolded exactly as he had anticipated. When he announced Su Miao's joining, Bi Lou immediately showed his disapproval.
He had wanted to test Su Miao.
And now, with this result, he was very satisfied. Su Miao indeed had what it takes.
At the entrance of the Yueting Club.
The car window rolled down, and Su Miao looked up. "Boss Xiao, if you want to test my abilities in the future, you don't need to go to such lengths. Just say it directly."
Since they were partners, it was only natural to assess each other's capabilities.
However, he could have simply spoken directly; there was no need to play such little tricks.
Still, it had been a long time since he'd beaten someone up. Today was a rare opportunity.
Xiao Zeyan laughed awkwardly, "I was just afraid you wouldn't agree, that's all."
She smiled gently.
"Xiao Zeyan, what you've seen now doesn't even amount to one-tenth of my true capabilities," Su Miao tossed out these words as she drove off, leaving behind.
Xiao Zeyan was left with his mouth agape, too shocked to close it.
What did she say?
Not even one-tenth of her capabilities?
She must be joking.
