Chapter 583 Gradually Transformed
From this moment on, Li Xuan had already entered into the role, and as the person who proved Li Xuan's identity, Liu Bo naturally would not make any mistakes. He knew how to play this play well. Li Xuan put away his smile and nodded to Liu Bo expressionlessly.
"lead the way."
Liu Bo nodded secretly in appreciation. He took Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua into the largest villa in the manor. From the outside, the villa did not seem very big, but once inside, they suddenly realized that the space here was indeed very large, with gorgeous decorations and spotless appearance. The whole villa exuded nobility. Li Xuan did not show any surprise at the magnificence in front of him. His eyes were as calm as still water, and he followed Liu Bo silently.
The three of them stopped in front of a big door on the second floor. Liu Bo pushed with both hands and the door of the Jin family meeting room was opened. Then Liu Bo stood aside respectfully with his head slightly lowered. This was the posture of a servant. Although he actually had more power and status than many members of the Jin family in the meeting room, he was still a servant of the Jin family. The old man who had lived for most of his life naturally understood this truth.
Li Xuan did not hesitate and walked straight in. Jin Chenghua followed closely behind him with a cold expression. His current identity was Li Xuan's follower. What caught Li Xuan's eyes were twenty people, young and old, men and women. The oldest was probably around fifty years old, and the youngest was probably fifteen or sixteen years old. Li Xuan glanced at everyone present with an expressionless face. Most of them were a little nervous, while a few showed disdain and contempt.
There were two people who did not attend this family meeting. One was Jin Chenghua's second grandfather, who was the most senior person in the family, and the other was Jin Chenghua's father, who was unable to attend due to serious illness.
In the quiet conference room, someone caught Li Xuan's attention. In such an occasion, no one dared to act rashly, but the young man was looking at Li Xuan with narrowed eyes, holding a cigarette in his hand. There was obvious doubt and confusion in his eyes. Behind him, a sturdy man in his thirties stood upright. Li Xuan thought that this man should be the young man's bodyguard, the only bodyguard among so many people in the conference room!
Li Xuan naturally recognized who the young man was, Jin Chenghua's younger brother, Jin Chengtai! He was the mastermind who sent people to kill Jin Chenghua and set up an ambush on the road just now. Li Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes met with Jin Chengtai's. He temporarily put Jin Chengtai aside. Etiquette in a big family is very important. No matter what you do behind the scenes, you must at least put on a well-educated appearance on the surface. This is the so-called face.
Li Xuan walked up to the elders and greeted them one by one, uncle, aunt, all the elders greeted one by one, neither humble nor arrogant. As for the young people of the same generation, he didn't need to pay attention to them at all, because among them, Jin Chenghua was the eldest brother. All of Li Xuan's actions were seen by Liu Boru who was standing beside him. He had already looked at this young man with a new eye. Compared with the arrogance when they first met, he now seemed more hidden, especially after seeing his terrifying skills, he thought that such a strong man could be so humble to greet so many people who actually had no relationship with him. This kind of mind and courage is not something that ordinary people can have.
People in this world can be divided into two categories. Of course, it is not as superficial as men and women, but the strong and the weak!
Where there are weak people, there must be strong people, but strong people are often arrogant because of their talents. Only those who can hide their talents are truly strong. In Liu Bo's eyes, Li Xuan has great potential. If he is well cultivated, he will become a great man in the future.
After Li Xuan greeted all the elders, everyone present had a preliminary impression of Li Xuan. It was unknown whether it was good or bad, praise or criticism, but judging from the expressions on their faces, Li Xuan's behavior at least did not give those who wanted to find trouble with him a handle, and those who wanted to take advantage of the situation had no way to start. In fact, the elders who supported Jin Chengtai had discussed with each other and planned to exclude him on the first day Jin Chenghua came back with the excuse of disrespecting the elders, but now Li Xuan's behavior left them no room to rage.
After greeting him, Li Xuan walked straight to Jin Chengtai. Jin Chengtai was still twitching his eyes and didn't even look up at Li Xuan. Li Xuan was not angry either. He looked down at Jin Chengtai's handsome face and smiled, "Second brother, big brother is back. Don't you welcome him?"
Jin Chengtai smiled contemptuously and said nothing. At this time, the sturdy man behind him sneered coldly: "Who knows if he is an actor invited back from outside? He dares to say that he is the eldest young master without his identity confirmed. It's ridiculous!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes still stayed on Jin Chengtai's face, wanting to see his reaction. Jin Chengtai's scornful expression turned into a playful smile. A girl around 20 years old beside Jin Chengtai sneered and said something disdainfully.
"You have a pretty face, but you are such a coward, a complete jellyfish."
Li Xuan turned his eyes to the girl, Jin Chengxi, Jin Chenghua's sister, and Jin Chengtai's sister. The smile on Li Xuan's face became more and more intense.
"Third sister, I can forgive you once, but next time, don't blame your brother for being ruthless."
Just as he finished speaking, Jin Chengxi, who was planning to ridicule Li Xuan, saw an incredible scene. The whole audience, including all the members of the Jin family present, was shocked!
Snapped!
A loud slap was delivered mercilessly. Just after Li Xuan said that warning to Jin Chengxi, he moved instantly. With huge power, he swung his right hand back and accurately hit the face of the rude and sturdy bodyguard. The bodyguard didn't react at all. Although he was always on guard against Li Xuan, he flew out after smelling a hint of danger. After a slap in the face, he was hit by the force and flew out sideways. He hit the wall about three meters behind him at an incredible speed, and there was another loud noise.
boom!
The sturdy man hit the wall and fell to the floor, unconscious, blood already flowing out of his mouth, half of his face was in everyone's sight, it was horrible, not the usual redness and swelling from being slapped, half of his face looked more shocking as if a layer of skin had been scraped off, the blood flowing out was like thousands of fine threads. Jin Chengtai gritted his teeth, stood up, pointed at Li Xuan and said angrily: "You!"
Li Xuan rubbed his right hand, still smiling, and glanced at the unconscious man on the ground. Li Xuan said coldly: "Servants should behave like servants. You don't know any rules at all!"
"If my people don't know the rules, I will teach them myself. It's not your turn to manage them." Jin Chengtai looked at Li Xuan with hatred and said through gritted teeth.
"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Dad is now bedridden. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Naturally, I have the right to take care of your affairs. Don't you want to stay in the Jin family? If you leave the Jin family, I will certainly not care about your affairs anymore." Li Xuan replied playfully.
"You!" Jin Chengtai was speechless. After all, seniority is still very important in the family. He accidentally glanced at Jin Chenghua standing not far behind Li Xuan and snorted coldly, "Brother, if your people don't know the rules, do I have the right to teach them a lesson? After all, we are all servants of the Jin family. It doesn't matter who teaches us, right?"
Li Xuan shrugged and said indifferently: "You can manage it if you want. I don't mind. However, I still want to remind you that when beating a dog, you still have to look at the owner. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if you fail to beat the dog and get bitten instead."
Jin Chengtai glanced at the sturdy man on the ground, and then thought that Li Xuan's followers might be even more powerful, so he had to compromise, but he was still very angry. Jin Chenghua secretly wiped his cold sweat. He was really afraid that he would fall into Jin Chengtai's hands. If that happened, his life might be over at any time. Liu Bo, who had been paying attention to everything happening in the conference room, appreciated Li Xuan even more. At the same time, he observed Jin Chenghua's expression and was relieved when he saw that he did not show any dissatisfaction or fear.
Liu Bo was worried that Jin Chenghua would be unhappy because Li Xuan compared him to a dog, but he was slightly satisfied when he saw that Jin Chenghua was calm and cautious. If he didn't even have this kind of broad mind, then he would not be qualified to inherit the Jin family.
Li Xuan then glanced at everyone present and said casually, "I don't think there's anything else to say. Everyone here already knows one thing. I, Jin Chenghua, am back! If there's nothing else, I'll go visit my father first."
Li Xuan left leisurely amid the complicated gazes of the crowd. Everyone was shocked by Li Xuan's performance. Many people showed worried and angry expressions, while some showed playful expressions. Only one person was full of curiosity about Li Xuan, Jin Chengxi.
As night fell, the various high-end sports cars parked in the Jin family manor made a roar and then left. The family members who came to welcome Jin Chenghua's return left with different thoughts after seeing the eldest young master who had been away from home for sixteen years.
Behind the manor was an open grassland, and beyond the grassland was a forest, with a pleasant view. After Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua came to the manor under the guidance of Liu Bo, everything was visible in this open space. Li Xuan saw a young girl pushing a middle-aged man in a wheelchair.
As he got closer, Li Xuan saw the face of the middle-aged man, Jin Chenghua's father, Jin Zhengyong! At this time, his expression was dull and his eyes were scattered. It was obvious that he was paralyzed and mentally unclear. Li Xuan said sincerely, "Dad, Chenghua is back." Kneeling in front of Jin Zhengyong, Li Xuan showed no emotion. After a moment of sadness, Li Xuan stood up and waved to Jin Chenghua. When Jin Chenghua walked in front of him, Li Xuan said in an imperative tone, "Come and help my father with body massage every day in the future, understand?"
Jin Chenghua nodded respectfully like a servant. After Li Xuan finished his instructions, he turned his gaze to the woman who had been looking at him with curiosity. Li Xuan smiled and nodded at her as a greeting, and the girl returned a sweet smile to Li Xuan.
"How about we go over there?" Li Xuan suggested to the girl. The girl looked at Jin Zhengyong who was seriously ill hesitantly, and Li Xuan said something to dispel her doubts.
"My men will look after Dad."
Jin Chenghua and Liu Bo watched Li Xuan and the girl leave. Liu Bo said calmly, "This young man has a promising future. You must not have any conflicts with him in the future. If you can't be friends, don't be enemies. Even if you have to keep your distance, don't offend him."
Jin Chenghua knelt in front of Jin Zhengyong and massaged his numb limbs. Jin Chenghua looked serious, without raising his head, as if talking to himself.
"I had already made up my mind when I first met him. His smile and his weakness were all poison to deceive the enemy."
Liu Bo nodded silently.
Li Xuan and the girl walked side by side in the woods. He knew who the girl was. She was Jin Chenghua's fiancée before he was born. It was a marriage arranged at birth. Back then, Jin Zhengyong and another powerful family in Shengdu made an agreement that the next generations of the two families would become brothers and sisters or husband and wife. More than 20 years have passed, and that family has declined, but the marriage agreement is still there. The girl next to Li Xuan is Jin Chenghua's fiancée, He Jie.
"You shouldn't have come back. Chengtai won't let you go." He Jie's face showed deep worry.
Li Xuan's expression remained calm. "I must come back. This is where I have my career and my people."
Facing Li Xuan's expression, He Jie avoided his gaze and said softly, "You are completely different from when you were a child. At that time, you were introverted and lonely, and you didn't even have the courage to talk to others. But now, oh, I really don't know what to say."
Li Xuan stopped and turned He Jie around. He said affectionately, "He Jie, for sixteen years, besides my mother, the only person I cared about was you. When I was a child, you ignored me. I knew why, because I had nothing. But now it's different. I'm back. Everything in the Jin family belongs to me, and you belong to me too. It was destined from the moment we were born."
He Jie stared at Li Xuan's eyes full of love. She was a little dazed. After finally coming to her senses, she glanced at Li Xuan's handsome face, turned her head away, and said in a trembling voice: "So you only came back for the family business. In your heart, I am not as good as the Jin family's business."
"No, He Jie, I inherit the Jin family only so that I can have the qualification to have you. For you, even if I give up the heir and give up everything in the Jin family, what does it matter? I, Jin Chenghua, only want to be He Jie in this life!" Li Xuan vowed affectionately.
He Jie broke free from Li Xuan's hand, turned around, took a deep breath, and said in panic: "I, you, why are you saying this, I'm just a girl from an ordinary family."
Li Xuan hugged He Jie from behind and murmured in her ear: "You are the whole world to me. Without you, what use is there for me to have the Jin family? He Jie, don't you understand my heart?"
He Jie's whole body trembled, and then she softened in Li Xuan's arms. She warmed up and said weakly: "Chenghua, you, you let me go first."
Li Xuan really let her go as she said. He Jie breathed a sigh of relief after getting out of Li Xuan's arms. But as soon as she turned around, Li Xuan's body was already close to her. His handsome face quickly approached her. She opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it...
There was only one tall figure walking slowly in the quiet woods. Li Xuan, dressed in white, strolled in the woods with great interest. He touched his lips and smiled, "Not bad, it seems you are not a virgin anymore, He Jie, haha, interesting."
Looking at the sky, the remaining light was about to disappear, Li Xuan walked out of the woods and returned to Jin Chenghua, only to find that Jin Zhengyong was gone, probably pushed back to the room by the servants. Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua walked towards the villa one after the other, with Liu Bo leading the way.
"You have no objection to me touching her, right? You'd better tell me the truth. I don't want there to be any grudge between you and me." Li Xuan said as he walked, as if talking to himself.
Jin Chenghua, who was following closely behind Li Xuan, said in a low and cold voice: "I don't mind if you die of fun, it's up to you." He will never forget the scene when He Jie and other children of the Jin family privately called him a "bastard". This kind of hatred is the most deep-rooted, because his childhood was given to him by them!
After getting the answer, Li Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. This was interesting. If you play this game with emotion, there will be no winner. After reading He Jie's information, Li Xuan began to think about how to use this chess piece. As the daughter of a declining family, the shackles of fate she carries are so heavy. The Jin family is her only chance, so she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal. As for whether her choice is Jin Chengtai or Jin Chenghua, Li Xuan has already made up his mind.
Under the guidance of Liu Bo, Li Xuan checked his room, and then after having dinner together, Liu Bo took Li Xuan to meet a man, Jin Chenghua's second grandfather!
A remote attic in the Jin Family Manor is full of natural atmosphere, with all kinds of artificially planted flowers and plants everywhere. The attic is regarded as a forbidden place for ordinary members of the Jin Family, because there lives a person in the attic, the oldest and most senior person in the Jin Family. Maybe he likes quietness, or maybe it is because the old man in his sixties is incompatible with modern people. The old man who does not see guests all year round has become a mysterious existence in the Jin Family. Ordinary people may know of his existence, but it is difficult to really see or understand him.
Uncle Liu brought Jin Chenghua and Li Xuan to the attic. The quiet attic exuded a mysterious atmosphere, just like the legendary old man of the Jin family who conquered the world in the past. The pioneers of entrepreneurship are always out of reach. Uncle Liu stopped in front of the attic and said calmly: "The second master is waiting for you inside."
"We?" Li Xuan stopped and asked.
Liu Bo nodded. "He doesn't know your identities yet, but I think he should be able to guess."
Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua showed an expression of understanding, and then walked into the attic together, while Liu Bo stayed outside the attic waiting for them.
Entering the attic, a burst of floral fragrance filled the air. The attic was also planted with flowers and plants. An old man with a slightly frail figure had his back to Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua. Judging from his movements, he was probably pruning branches. Hearing the footsteps, the old man continued to move, still concentrating on pruning the potted plants in front of him. He said without turning his head, "Since you are here, sit down."
The old and slightly hoarse voice reached the ears of Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua, and the two sat on the chairs as told. Although it was not as comfortable as the sofa, they still sat quietly and humbly. Li Xuan observed the old man's back with a faint look. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of demeanor such a dying old man had in the past. He could not see or feel the so-called majestic aura of a superior. He preferred to think that this old man was an authentic gardener.
Half an hour passed, and the old man still focused on the flowers and plants, while Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua closed their eyes and waited for the old man. Suddenly, Li Xuan felt a strange feeling in his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot towards the stairs of the attic. Li Xuan said coldly: "Come out."
Confused, Jin Chenghua looked at Li Xuan in confusion, while the old man finally turned around with a kind smile on his face. "Young man, you are really not simple. Tian Ci, come out."
Li Xuan was still staring at the staircase of the attic. A man walked out from the darkness there. He was dressed in a white robe that covered his tall body. He had a half-silver mask on his face that covered his lips. His flowing hair covered his left eye, and he looked unfathomable.
When Li Xuan saw the mask, he immediately thought of the 'Ghost Mask'. However, for the time being, it would take three days for 'him' to control these things. Now, he wanted to have a fight to see how big the gap was between himself and his former self.
The old man walked up to Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua and sat down, then he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. The old man looked indifferent, and after looking at Li Xuan, he looked at the man he called Tianci.
"He is my bodyguard." Tian Ci walked behind the old man and stood there without saying anything. Li Xuan took a deep breath to calm down. When he felt Tian Ci's presence just now, he had a desire to fight. It was like he had met an equally matched opponent and was eager to fight.
Li Xuan said to the old man with an expectant look: "Before we have a formal conversation, I have a request that I hope you can agree to."
The old man put down his handkerchief and looked at Li Xuan. "What's your request?"
"I hope to have a competition with your bodyguard and stop at the right time." Li Xuan said seriously.
The old man turned his gaze to Tian Ci behind him, asking him what he meant with his eyes. Tian Ci nodded calmly. He was as graceful as a gentleman, but his identity was a bodyguard. No matter what, he was not an ordinary bodyguard.
"Okay." The old man agreed to Li Xuan's request. After receiving a satisfactory answer, Li Xuan straightened his face and waited for the old man's questions. After all, it was the old man who asked them to come here.
"I've heard about what happened this afternoon. It's okay for young people to be a little crazy and impulsive. If they act calm and introverted at the age of 20, then life will be less fun. After all, only through tempering can one become a great person. However, whether you are crazy or arrogant, there must be a bottom line. Lack of self-awareness is the act of fools." The old man looked at Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua calmly. From the strength displayed by Li Xuan's slap this afternoon and the ambush they encountered on the way here, the old man was 100% sure that the man in front of him who was the eldest son of the Jin family was definitely not Jin Chenghua, so the follower must be Jin Chenghua.
Li Xuan touched his nose, still cynical and indifferent. "Bottom line? Haha, I can touch other people's bottom line, but others, never think of finding out my bottom line."
Jin Chenghua, who was silent on the side, said in a deep voice: "We certainly have self-knowledge. We know our opponents and ourselves, but whether our opponents understand us is the key point."
The old man shook his head in self-mockery, and turned his gaze to Jin Chenghua, with a bit of sadness on his face. "Rival? Half-brothers are actually rivals? Where is the love between brothers and the friendship between brothers? Why don't you think about it carefully? Without the Jin Chengtai of today, there would be no Jin Chenghua who has returned strongly today! He can ignore the love between brothers, but you can't, because you are the eldest grandson of the Jin family! You can do whatever it takes to seize the position of the head of the family, and you can also destroy your conscience and morality, but there is one thing you can't abandon, and that is human nature!"
Jin Chenghua was silent. The old man had clearly stated that he was the real Jin Chenghua, and his words were not without reason. Without the aggressive Jin Chengtai, he would not have such a strong desire for revenge. But if the position of the head of the family fell into Jin Chengtai's hands, how would he treat him? Now it was just the beginning, and he sent people to kill him one after another. What about the future? As the day of deciding the head of the family approaches, the competition will become more intense and cruel.
"Old man, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Xuan interrupted. He felt that the old man would not say these words to Jin Chenghua for no reason. He must have his reasons.
The old man calmed himself down. Maybe he was a little excited just now. He should have taken everything lightly, but he was always worried about the future of the Jin family. The Jin family was built by him and his brother. In his lifetime, he could not watch the Jin family decline, absolutely not!
"Chenghua, back then, my elder brother was very dissatisfied with your father and mother's secret engagement abroad. It was for this reason that you and your mother went abroad at first and then went to Qindu to avoid being seen. However, all this may be a good thing for you. If you grow up in glory and wealth, you will not cherish it. Things that you should have will only seem insignificant, and things that you cannot get are the most precious. Therefore, I once privately expressed to Uncle Liu that I would support you, but this requires your own efforts. Now, I just want to ask you a question."
Jin Chenghua waited for the old man's question with a serious expression.
"If you become the new head of the Jin family, what will happen to your brother Jin Chengtai?" The old man asked this question very seriously.
Jin Chenghua closed his eyes and thought for a moment before opening them. "He will have a comfortable environment and continue to be a dandy. Even if he is a dandy for his whole life, the Jin family will have no complaints. His life is supported by the Jin family." Jin Chenghua knew that Jin Chengtai would still be the second young master of the Jin family. He could squander everything in the Jin family. Even if he got into trouble, the Jin family would stand up for him. But he couldn't be in charge of the Jin family. No matter how extravagant Jin Chengtai was, it was just a drop in the bucket for the Jin family.
The answer obviously satisfied the old man. He nodded and said, "Brothers are blood thicker than water. Broken bones are still connected by tendons. I don't want you to be too ruthless. Remember your promise today!"
Jin Chenghua stood up and bowed respectfully. Li Xuan also stood up and said with a smile: "Old man, it's time to lend me your bodyguard for a while."
The old man smiled for the first time, and he turned around and said to Tian Ci, "Let's go to where you usually train." Tian Ci nodded and walked out the door. Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua said goodbye to the old man politely and followed him out.
As soon as he left the attic, Li Xuan looked at Tian Ci who was leading the way in the distance. Without even turning his head, he said, "Is what you just said true? Spare his life?"
Jin Chenghua's expression became extremely cold and his smile was grim after he left the attic.
"I won't kill him, but many people die in accidents every day!"
Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua followed Tian Ci to his training ground, a spacious and bright gym, but there were no various fitness equipment inside. The whole room was empty, and there were many signs of impact and cracks on the floor and walls.
Li Xuan walked to the center of the venue and observed it. Then he looked at Tian Ci and asked, "Is this where you train?"
Tian Ci, dressed in gorgeous clothes, nodded calmly. He walked to the opposite side of Li Xuan, and the two stood five meters apart. The silver-white mask exuded a hint of coldness, and Tian Ci's voice was ethereal. "You are very strong."
He looked at Tian Ci with great interest. This man always gave Li Xuan a strange feeling, unpredictable, especially the mask he wore that concealed his face, making him even more mysterious.
"Can you take off the mask and let me see what you look like?" Li Xuan felt that this request was a bit excessive, but he still asked. Everyone is very curious, and Li Xuan is no exception. He wanted to see what kind of man is hidden under the silver mask.
Tian Ci's eyes did not waver at all. He said calmly, "No, unless you have the ability to reveal it yourself."
After stretching his muscles, Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Then I'll give it a try." Tian Ci was still standing upright. Bodyguards like him would always adjust their bodies to the best condition and did not need to do any warm-up exercises. Otherwise, how could they face emergencies?
After finishing the warm-up exercise, Li Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealed a confident look. With a loud shout, Li Xuan's figure drew a trail of afterimages and attacked Tian Ci. Li Xuan clenched his right fist and punched Tian Ci, but Tian Ci still did not move. Just when Li Xuan's fist was about to hit Tian Ci's face, Tian Ci instantly leaned back, fell backwards, put his hands on the ground and pushed himself up, and kicked his legs upwards, aiming at Li Xuan's jaw.
He is still so elegant and gentlemanly.
Li Xuan smiled slightly, and due to inertia, he could no longer retreat. He instantly retracted his right hand to block his chin, just in time to block Tianci's fatal kick, and at the same moment, his left hand grabbed the ankle of Tianci's other foot. Li Xuan stomped his right foot, turned his body, grabbed Tianci's ankle with his left hand and swung it hard. Tianci was thrown out by Li Xuan at an incredibly fast speed. Tianci's body left a white shadow in the air and rushed towards the wall. Just when Jin Chenghua, who was watching the fight, thought that Tianci would definitely be seriously injured by the huge impact force, Tianci made a move in the air that made him dumbfounded.
Just when Tianci was about to hit the wall, he did a half flip in the air. Tianci, who was originally rushing towards the wall headfirst, miraculously stepped on the wall with both feet. Li Xuan's swing was so powerful that just when Tianci's feet stepped on the wall, a cracking sound was heard, and the wall was left with another crack by Tianci's kick. In an instant, Tianci bent his legs with the force of Li Xuan's swing, and then stretched them out with force. He attacked Li Xuan, and the situation was completely reversed.
All this happened in just a few seconds, in a flash. Li Xuan did not expect that Tianci could leverage the force in this way. He was stunned in astonishment. Tianci flipped half a circle in the air, hit Li Xuan's chest, and then landed steadily.
Li Xuan was knocked away by the sudden kick, and his body flew backwards and hit the wall behind him.
boom!
Li Xuan got up from the ground and dusted himself off, smiling, as if he was satisfied with Tian Ci's attack. Li Xuan moved his joints again and walked in front of Tian Ci with ease. Li Xuan smiled and said, "Not bad, you didn't disappoint me."
Tian Ci still spoke calmly. "I told you, you are very strong."
With a slight smile, Li Xuan waved to Tian Ci, and the two of them fell into a new round of fighting. After a tentative round of fighting, both of them became more involved, and their contempt was gone, especially Li Xuan. He carefully observed all of Tian Ci's movements during the fight. Tian Ci's skills were gorgeous and practical, and his posture was elegant. It was definitely a perfect textbook. Li Xuan absorbed all of Tian Ci's advantages in actual combat. His terrifying learning ability was also the biggest feature of Li Xuan after his body was transformed.
Two white shadows appeared and disappeared in the middle of the field, which made Jin Chenghua, who was watching the battle, very depressed. It was not because he could not see the battle situation clearly that he felt depressed. He was a little annoyed and thought: People can be strong, but they cannot be perverted! But there were indeed two perverted and inhuman guys fighting in front of him. If ordinary people saw it, they might think it was a movie scene fast-forwarded several times, but Jin Chenghua, who knew all this clearly, was helpless.
After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, the competition entered the final stage. The two men in a stalemate were sweating on their foreheads and breathing rapidly. Panting, Li Xuan rushed towards Tianci again and kicked Tianci's head with a roundhouse kick. Tianci blocked Li Xuan's kick with his left hand. Li Xuan then retracted his legs and made another feint. Tianci had already entered the instinctive fighting state and took a defensive posture again, but Li Xuan was not interested in this. He instantly took the mask on Tianci's face with his right hand. When Tianci noticed it, he was already half a step too late. Li Xuan pressed the edge of the mask with one hand. As long as Li Xuan flipped over, the mask would fall off.
Tian Ci held down Li Xuan's right hand with one hand, and the two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them moved. Li Xuan smiled slightly, let go of his hand and took a step back.
Tian Ci seemed to want to express his gratitude and nodded slightly. The competition ended just like that.
Li Xuan and Tian Ci bowed politely.
The relaxed Li Xuan walked to Tian Ci and said with a smile: "Your friend should be about the same strength as you." The traces of fighting left in the training ground were obviously not done by one person, so the person who trained with Tian Ci here must be someone else. In addition, when Li Xuan was in the attic, he clearly felt the presence of someone in the dark, so he made a clear deduction.
Tian Ci, who had been calm all along, finally changed, with a look of surprise in his eyes. Li Xuan smiled slightly, ignoring Tian Ci's questioning look, and Li Xuan and Jin Chenghua left the training ground.
Tian Ci walked gracefully back to the attic. In the hall, Jin Chenghua's second grandfather was enjoying a cup of tea. Behind him, a man in black clothes, which was exactly the opposite of Tian Ci's white clothes, stood beside him. He also wore a half silver mask on his face. The old man glanced at Tian Ci indifferently and saw that he had no scars on his body. The old man asked, "How is it?"
"Very strong, I can't figure out his strength." Tian Ci spoke in a calm voice but revealed a fact that amazed the old man.
"How much strength did you use?" The old man looked serious.
"Fifty percent."
Facing Tian Ci's answer, the old man shook his head with some emotion and sighed: "He is really not a simple person who can force you to use 50% of your strength, Jin Chenghua. Is he really your friend or does he harbor evil intentions? It is a taboo to conspire with a tiger!" The old man's worry is not unreasonable. If Li Xuan intends to take advantage of the situation to usurp power, the Jin family's foundation for many years will fall into the hands of outsiders. For Li Xuan, doing this is not easy, but it is not difficult either, as long as he is willing to plan carefully. However, this all depends on whether he intends to get involved in the Jin family.
The old man was silent for a moment and then said, "Is it difficult to kill him?"
Tian Ci closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at the man in black behind the old man. "With Di Ci and the combined strength of the two of us, we only have a 20% chance of killing him, unless we transfer other members from the organization. However, there is no guarantee of victory."
The old man was really surprised. "How strong is he?"
"I'm not sure." Tian Ci spoke his inner thoughts truthfully. Although he didn't know how strong Li Xuan was, Tian Ci had a hunch that no one could defeat Li Xuan!
The old man looked solemn and ordered, "Pay attention to his movements. If he is found to be doing anything bad to the Jin family, I am willing to hire the entire assassin list organization to deal with him, no matter how much money it costs. You know, the strength of the assassin list created by Zhang Wufeng is completely different from the original assassin list. It won't be difficult to find someone on this list and kill him instantly."
Tian Ci nodded. Although the Tianfeng Killer List was a real-name list, and even the creators were known, the people on it were very mysterious. No one knew who they were, but their strength was absolutely unquestionable. And these people would also serve the major families and forces. As long as there was enough money, they could be hired. Tian Ci and the man in black, Di Ci, were both top ten masters in the outer ranks of the Tianfeng organization. Tian Ci ranked fourth and Di Ci ranked ninth. Although they were only in the outer ranks, they were much stronger than the killer Wang Nan on the previous killer list.
Of course, the cost of the invitation is also very high.
……
On the way back to the villa, Jin Chenghua asked Li Xuan with interest: "Did you lose?"
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head. "Don't think that I can't hit him, but he can always hit me. In fact, he didn't gain any advantage. But this guy is quite strong. It's no problem for him to kill ordinary people in seconds."
Jin Chenghua was a little puzzled. "So who is stronger between you and him?"
Li Xuan thought about it and shook his head. "I don't know, but you should know in a few days."
Jin Chenghua stopped asking questions, and the two walked towards the villa. Li Xuan secretly admired Tian Ci in his heart. Tian Ci was indeed not simple enough to force him to use 30% of his strength.
