illicit relationship

Xiao Tian still had not said anything and only stared at Crystal.

Lan Ruoxi said it was dangerous to tell everyone that he had gained insight about battle instinct because they would know he was a candidate for the Ruler.

Lan Ruoxi had told him that there would be a high chance that they would try to kill him if they found out that he had gained insight about battle instinct when he was still at the mid-level master stage.

Sure, it could be said that Xiao Tian was nearly invincible against martial artists at the master stage. But he was nothing to martial artists at the grandmaster stage, especially for the mid-level grandmaster stage or the high-level grandmaster stage.

For this reason, Lan Ruoxi told him to hide it until he was strong enough to protect himself. This was what made Xiao Tian unable to say anything to Crystal.

"Crystal, this is…" Xiao Tian had no idea what to say to Crystal. "Hmmm. This is very important to me because almost all martial artist in China will try to kill me if they know about this."

Xiao Tian dared to use battle instinct against martial artists at the master stage because most of them had no idea what battle instinct was.

Yes. The possibility of them knowing about battle instinct was only one percent because they would only learn about it when they broke through to the grandmaster stage.

And in this world, not all martial artists could break through to the grandmaster stage. Even some martial artists at the grandmaster stage would not gain insight about battle instinct.

"Try to kill you?" his words much surprised her.

'Just what is it? He even said all martial artists in China would kill him if they knew about his secret.'

Crystal was getting more curious, but she decided not to ask more questions because she did not want to make Xiao Tian feel uncomfortable.

'I will ask master later. Maybe she knows something about this.'

Since her master had been in the world of martial artist for a long time, there was a possibility that she knew about it.

"Yes." Xiao Tian replied as he nodded his head. "I can't tell anyone about this because I'm still weak now. But I promise I will tell you about my secret after I'm strong enough to protect myself and people I care about."

"All right. I will wait for that day." Crystal replied.

'Does that mean he can reveal his secret once he is strong enough to protect himself?! What kind of secret is he hiding?'

She added in her mind.

Crystal rose to her feet and turned her head towards Xiao Tian. "Let's return to the hotel now."

"All right." Xiao Tian responded.

Qing Family Mansion, Family Room.

"Xiulan, how could you make a mistake like this? This is not like you." Qing Yuhan sighed after saying that.

His daughter usually never acted recklessly and always thought first before doing something. But sometimes, she behaved differently when it was related to her friends.

"I'm sorry, father." Qing Xiulan apologized to her father.

"Do you know your actions almost ruined my friendship with Xiao Tian's father?" Qing Yuhan raised his voice a little. "If something like this happens again, I will forbid you to meet that Wenxin anymore."

Qing Xiulan didn't say a word because she was afraid that her father would get angrier later.

Qing Yuhan shifted his gaze from Qing Xiulan to Qing Feng. "Feng, take Xiulan's bodyguards to the hospital now. Once they recover, fire them immediately."

At first, Qing Yuhan wanted to fire Qing Xiulan's bodyguards instantly, but he changed his mind because it could ruin the good reputation of the Qing family.

"Father, I met Miss Silver Fox earlier." Qing Feng uttered.

"Did she say something to you?" usually, Silver Fox would not appear if Xiao Tian was not in a life and death situation, so Qing Yuhan was a little surprised.

"She said uncle Xiao will come to our house tonight." Qing Feng replied. "Uncle Xiao wants to discuss that."

"Discuss that? All right. We will wait for him later." actually, Qing Yuhan wanted to meet Xiao Tian's father immediately, but he could not do that because he didn't know where Xiao Tian's father was.

All he knew was that Xiao Tian's father lived in Beijing, but he didn't know where Xiao Tian's father was.

Qing Yuhan looked at his daughter and spoke, "Xiulan, you have to apologize to uncle Xiao later."

"I understand, father." Qing Xiulan replied.

"Hmmm? Did something happen earlier?" Lan Ruoxi asked curiously as she stared at Xiao Tian.

Currently, Xiao Tian, Lan Ruoxi, Crystal and Yu Shi were sitting on the couch in his room.

"Someone caused trouble to Yuji hospital last night and that crazy officer and her family slandered me as the mastermind." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "It really pissed me off."

His words much surprised Yu Shi and Crystal. Like Xiao Tian, they also had no idea about it.

"How could they do that to you? They were the ones who did not keep their promise and they still dared to slander you?!" Yu Shi was still furious because Yi Yuan broke his promise out of the blue.

"So, what happened after that?" Lan Ruoxi asked curiously.

"It's like this…." Xiao Tian began to tell them about what had just happened to him and Crystal.

He didn't hide a single thing because they needed to know about it; especially, Yu Shi.

"You are really something, young master Xiao." Lan Ruoxi said after Xiao Tian finished telling everything. "You even dared to break the arms of Qing Xiulan's bodyguards. Amazing! As expected of young master Xiao, you are really not afraid of anything."

Lan Ruoxi still behaved normally because she was sure the Qing family would not do anything to him.

Yu Shi shifted her gaze from Xiao Tian to Crystal. "Crystal, he even broke the arms of Qing Xiulan's bodyguards for you. You should reward him because he has avenged you."

"Reward?" Crystal said in surprise.

"Yes reward! How about you go to your room with Xiao Tian now and give me a grandson later?" Yu Shi revealed her true intention.

"Master, stop it!" Crystal said.

The corner of Xiao Tian's lips twitched after hearing Yu Shi's words.

'This old woman is really something!'

He didn't expect Yu Shi to be so straightforward like that.

As for Lan Ruoxi, she only giggled. She knew that Yu Shi wanted Xiao Tian to be Crystal's husband, so she was not surprised by Yu Shi's words.

After talking for another thirty minutes, they prepared themselves before going to the airport. Xiao Tian knew that the Yi family still had a problem, but he didn't care about it.

He would search for information on the internet later. If the Yi family still dared to cause trouble for him, Xiao Tian would take all his underlings and destroy the Yi family.

Yi family was only a middle-class family, so it was nothing in his eyes because he had destroyed an upper-class family before.

'Come and bite me if you dare. I will show you who am I later.'

Xiao Tian said in his head.
