Illicit Relationship

Xiao Tian still had a calm face when he saw Jin Lan rushing toward him. His hands were even still behind his back.

"What are you doing, young master Xiao? Block or avoid it!"

"You will get hurt if you stay still like that!"

"Why is he only standing like that? Is he scared?"

"But he still has a calm face. It's impossible for frightened person to have a calm face like that."

"Then what is it?"

"I don't know. Just watch it."

The onlookers were startled when they saw Xiao Tian standing without trying to avoid or block Jin Lan's attack.

"Ah, I forgot about it. I should not let him fight Jin Lan because he is too weak for my son." Xiao Zhan forgot that his son was a candidate to be the Ruler like him, so he knew that Jin Lan was not his son's opponent.

"Be careful young master Xiao!" after saying that, Jin Lan threw out his fist.

With his left hand still behind his back, Xiao Tian raised his right arm to block Jin Lan's attack.

Bang!

He blocked Jin Lan's attack with his right index finger.

The entire area turned into a dead silence when they saw him blocking Jin Lan's attack with only one finger.

'One finger?! Young master Xiao is blocking Jin Lan's attack with only one finger?'

They did not expect something like this to happen.

'Don't tell me…'

At this moment, one thing appeared in their minds.

Xiao Tian was someone who was loved by the heavens!

He was a candidate to be the Ruler!

"So, our young master is also a candidate to be the Ruler?" the blue-haired man broke the silence.

"As expected of our master's son, he is sure amazing!"

"This is how it should be. Our young master must be someone special."

"He doesn't deserve to be our young master if he isn't a candidate to be the Ruler." 

"That's right. That's right."

Chatter erupted after the blue-haired man broke the silence.

Jin Lan stopped attacking Xiao Tian and uttered, "It's my lose, young master Xiao."

He was only an ordinary martial artist, so it was impossible to defeat Xiao Tian. That was why he admitted defeat right after finding out the truth.

"Oh? I thought you would keep fighting me." Of course, Xiao Tian knew the reason why Jin Lan immediately admitted defeat.

"I know my limit, young master Xiao." Jin Lan responded, "May I know what stage are you now?"

At this moment, everyone paid attention to Xiao Tian because he wanted to know the answer too.

"I have mastered the fifth stage. I'm trying to master the sixth stage now." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

The onlookers were stunned again.

Genius!

That was the word that appeared in their minds.

All candidates to be the Ruler who had mastered the fifth stage were at least thirty years old.

Most of them were above forty years old, but here, Xiao Tian had mastered the fifth stage in his twenties.

Maybe calling him unparalleled genius was the right word because something like this had never happened before.

Shi Fei, who had earned the title of the most genius martial artist, had only mastered the fifth stage in her thirties.

That meant Xiao Tian was more genius than Shi Fei because he mastered the fifth stage in his twenties.

"That is how it should be since he is our young master." 

"That's right."

"You are right. After all, our young master must be extraordinary person."

"Yes. That's right."

"Our young master is genius."

"You are wrong. He is not genius, but unparalleled genius."

"Ah, right. He is unparalleled genius."

"I know our young master is unparalleled genius from the moment I saw him."

It was his first time coming to their hidden base, but he had won their hearts.

He even did not do anything to achieve it, as if the heavens were helping him.

Xiao Zhan smiled softly when his subordinates praised his son continuously.

'Xueyin, did you hear that? They said our son is unparalleled genius.'

He lifted his head to look at the blue sky.

'Ah, right. She did not want him to be a martial artist. She wanted him to be a successful businessman.'

He remembered his deceased wife's wish.

'But our son is also a genius in business. He is even better than me.'

He was labelled as the God of Wealth in the past because he could turn everything into money.

But he still said his son was better than him.

That meant Xiao Tian was also a God of Wealth like him.

As he was smiling at his son, one of his subordinates walked toward him. 

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhan inquired.

"Master, group A is facing a trouble. They need your help." The blue-haired man responded.

"Go back now. I will be there soon." Xiao Zhan uttered.

Shortly after the blue-haired man left, Xiao Tian returned to Xiao Zhan's side.

"What's wrong, father?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

"Son, I suddenly have an urgent business. I can't accompany you anymore today." Xiao Zhan felt sad when he said this because he wanted to continue to be with his son.

"It's fine." Xiao Tian could understand his position. 

"We will talk again tomorrow." After saying that, Xiao Zhan ordered Silver Fox to accompany Xiao Tian.

Silver Fox took Xiao Tian for a walk around their hidden base. After walking for several minutes, they sat on a long chair under a big tree.

"The view in this place is great!" Xiao Tian was amazed by the view around them.

"Yes. This place is popular because the view in this place is amazing." Silver Fox responded.

"By the way, why do you keep wearing a mask?" he asked curiously.

"All members who are on a mission, wear masks to hide their identities." Silver Fox gave an honest answer. 

"I see." Even though he was curious about her face, he did not ask her to take off her mask. "How long have you been my father's subordinate?"

"Since I was kid." Silver Fox answered instantly.

"What?!" Xiao Tian asked in surprise.
