Lian Xun found it hard to believe what he was hearing.
Sure, he had heard some martial artists who gained insight about battle instinct when they were still at the master stage, but he had never heard of someone reaching the mid-level master stage in just two years.
‘I understand now! Reaching the mid-level master stage in just two years and gaining insight about battle instinct while he was still at the mid-level master stage was nearly impossible to achieve. That abandoned son is indeed a genius among geniuses.’
Lian Xun thought being friends with Xiao Tian was not a bad idea.
‘Not only that, he can even become a successful person at a young age. It seems like the Xiao and Ye families make a big mistake, especially the Ye family. I’m sure they are starting to regret their decision now.’
He knew who Xiao Tian was because he was dragged into their family conflict a few years ago.
Even though Lan Ruoxi would face danger later, but it was worth it. “Your choice is not bad!”
“That’s why I want you to make a sword for him.” Lan Ruoxi uttered, “Master, please make a good sword, a suitable sword for him.”
Lian Xun stared at Lan Ruoxi in the eyes and inquired, “You know what will happen to us if they learn about our relationship with Xiao Tian, right? If he dies, we will follow him for sure.”
“I know.” Lan Ruoxi answered instantly. “Master, he is also building a strong army right now. And not only that, but the Devil Queen also supports him.”
“Devil Queen?” Lian Xun said in surprise. “Didn’t she say she would resign from the underworld?”
Of course, Lian Xun knew who Devil Queen was because she was the only woman who shook the whole of Shanghai alone.
Not only was she incredibly strong, but even her underlings were also powerful. She was the first woman who stood at the top and on par with many top martial artists at the grandmaster stage.
“How can he get her support?” Lian Xun wanted to know what Xiao Tian had done that he managed to gain the support of the Devil Queen.
In the past, countless families wanted to recruit her to be their protector, but she refused. So, he wanted to know how could a nobody and an abandoned son like Xiao Tian have the support of the Devil Queen?
She even refused when countless rich and famous families tried to recruit her. This almost made no sense.
“To be honest, he has no idea that a powerful martial artist is supporting him.” Lan Ruoxi gave an honest answer.
Lian Xun didn’t get her words. “What do you mean by that?”
“The Devil Queen is one of his women and pretending to be an ordinary woman.” Lan Ruoxi told him the truth.
“Cough!” Lian Xun almost vomited blood after hearing her words. “One of his women?”
“Yes.” Lan Ruoxi answered as she nodded her head. “And she let him to be the leader of the Blue Ice Lotus gang.”
“I see.” Lian Xun touched his chin. “All right. I will make a sword for him.”
“Thank you, master.” Lan Ruoxi was pleased after hearing his words because with this, their efforts were not in vain.
“By the way, what is your relationship with him?” Lian Xun asked curiously, “The way you two call each other is even unique. Hehe.”
“You are already old, so you don’t need to know about it.” After saying that, Lan Ruoxi walked towards his house.
When Lian Xun saw Lan Ruoxi’s back, he could only sigh.
At this moment, Lan Ruoxi’s body slowly became smaller in his eyes until finally, the cheerful little Ruoxi was the only thing in his eyes.
Yes. He remembered the cheerful Lan Ruoxi when she was still a little. Now that little girl had grown up and changed completely.
‘The weight in her shoulders is too heavy. I really miss seeing her cheerful behavior and smile. Sigh. The world is so cruel to her.’
After sighing, Lian Xun walked towards his house.
When Xiao Tian saw Lan Ruoxi walking towards him, he rushed with a worried face, “Young lady, did he do something to you?”
“No. He did nothing to me.” At first, Lan Ruoxi wanted to say the opposite, but she changed her mind because she didn’t want Xiao Tian to misunderstand her master.
She was afraid that Xiao Tian would take her joke seriously. That was why she decided not to tease him because the consequences could be fatal.
“Really?” Xiao Tian wanted to make sure that she was telling the truth.
“Yes.” Lan Ruoxi answered as she nodded his head.
“He didn’t threaten you, right?” Xiao Tian asked again.
“I didn’t do anything to her.” Lian Xun’s words rang out from behind Lan Ruoxi. “And why do you think I want to do something bad to her? Do I look like a bad person?”
“Because she is a pretty lady with a sexy body.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. “Anyone would instantly fall in love with her if they saw her. That’s why I want to make sure you didn’t do anything bad to her.”
“Do you think every man is a playboy like you?” Lian Xun inquired, “Sigh. You came to my house to ask for my help, and here, you are behaving rudely to me. Don’t you want me to make a sword for you? You should treat me nicely, not the opposite like this.”
If it were not for Lan Ruoxi, Lian Xun would have changed his mind because Xiao Tian kept treating him badly.
Lian Xun didn’t know why Xiao Tian had so much luck. First, he was talented in martial arts. Second, he could become a successful person in a short amount of time. Third, his disciple was treating him nicely. And last, the Devil Queen was even supporting him.
“Of course, I still want it, but I don’t want you to do something bad to her.” Xiao Tian behaved like a boyfriend who wanted to protect his lover.
When Lian Xun saw Xiao Tian’s act, he uttered, “You two don’t even have a special relationship, so why are you behaving like her lover?”
“Because she will be mine in the future.” Xiao Tian was sure that he would be able to beat Lan Ruoxi in the future. That was why he dared to say something like that.
Lan Ruoxi giggled after hearing his remarks.
‘Hehe. How could he be so sure I would be his lover in the future?’
She was amazed by his shamelessness.
After shifting his gaze from Lan Ruoxi to Xiao Tian, Lian Xun inquired, “Did she say it? Why are you so sure he will be yours in the future?”
“Because she said she would be mine if I could defeat her in a fight.” Xiao Tian told Lian Xun the reason why he dared to say something like that.
“Hahaha.” Lian Xun could not help but burst into waves of laughter. “You? Defeat her? Did I hear it right? Hahaha.”
Xiao Tian was unhappy with Lian Xun’s words.
‘Damn! This old man is underestimating me!’
If Xiao Tian were stronger than Lian Xun, he would have been hit Lian Xun’s head at that time.
