Volume 1 Chapter 356 Xuanwu
If all this was Qiao Changming forcing Fatty Qiao to grow and transform, then this is too crazy.
He totally disregarded the cost. As long as Fatty Qiao could transform and grow into a qualified head of the family, he would sacrifice anyone, even Qiao Changming's own life.
Li Tian was really shocked, and almost heartbroken. At this moment, his hatred for Qiao Changming instantly decreased by more than half.
When the dust settled, Fatty Qiao officially became the head of the Qiao family.
Whether it was his intention or not, he became the head of the Qiao family with great intimidation, a superior who could make the person in charge lower his head and dare not look him in the face with just a glance, and he was no longer the carefree young master who was unruly and lived a life of lying down all day long.
"Brother, do you think that old man deliberately arranged all this?"
On top of the high wall, Fatty Qiao put his hands behind his back and spoke as he looked at the Qiao family staff who were cleaning up the battlefield below.
Li Tian was standing next to them.
He did not call Li Tian "Lao Li" but used the title of sworn brother. This was a change in his state of mind, becoming more formal and solemn.
Li Tian: "You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
Fatty Qiao closed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes: "I should have thought that he did it on purpose. He was not so unkind before. The last time you came, he suddenly gave you the order to kill and asked me to be a spectator. I should have thought that he was forcing me."
"So what if you thought about it? Can you pretend nothing happened?" Li Tian asked back.
Fatty Qiao was stunned.
Yes, Lao Fo died right under his nose, his head was trampled to pieces. He still remembered Lao Fo's headless body and the image of his only remaining arm twitching and struggling. That image was unforgettable. How could he act as if nothing had happened?
And his brother.
If his brother wasn't strong and abnormal enough, he would have become a useless person, and even sooner or later, he would have been killed by Qiao Chenyu.
This was pure hatred. Every day on the cliff, he wished he could kill the old immortal with his own hands.
"That old immortal is too vicious!" said Fatty Qiao.
Li Tian patted his shoulder and said, "He's dead now. It doesn't matter whether he was cruel or not. Just remember him. From now on, you are the head of the Qiao family. The burden on your shoulders is heavy."
"Brother, what are your plans? Are you going back to the coast?" Fatty Qiao asked.
He knew very well that Li Tian came to Beijing to resolve the pressure that the Qiao family brought to Binhai.
Now that he is in charge, he naturally will not covet Binhai. In other words, Li Tianlai’s purpose of coming to Beijing has been achieved.
Li Tian shook his head: "I won't go back yet. I'll help you consolidate your position. Didn't you say that a branch of the West City is preparing to bring people to the capital to find you and ask for punishment? If I leave, how are you going to calm them down?"
"Yes, under the guise of launching a war to hold someone accountable, they just want to sit on the seat of the head of the family. That branch has been coveting the position of the head of the family for a long time. Now that such a good opportunity has appeared, how can they let it go?" Fatty Qiao frowned.
"Don't worry, they can't cause any trouble with me here." Li Tian said.
"I'm afraid they will join forces with the Shen family in southern Guangdong or the Chi family in Miaojiang." Fatty Qiao has his own concerns.
"It's no big deal." Li Tian said.
Fatty Qiao was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumb: "Big brother is so domineering!"
Li Tian: “…”
In fact, there is another reason for not going back to Binhai, and that is Part A.
Wen Guoliang tried his best to recommend him to Department A. Now, he has handed in a high-scoring paper, and the acceptance document from Department A is probably on the way to him.
He really didn't want to join and go back to Binhai to be his own king. How could he be willing to accept such restraints and shackles?
However, he may not be able to choose not to join just because he wants to.
Department A can destroy a super family overnight, which shows that there are many experts in Department A.
He is indeed very strong now, but that does not mean he is invincible. There may be one or two masters in Division A who can suppress him.
People keep climbing up, and slowly, they start to lose control of themselves.
As for Gu Ruoxi, he will have a good talk with her.
Since you have registered your marriage and are husband and wife, you should act like a couple instead of being cold to him every day.
If we continue like this, there is no need to live together. It is better for us to live our own lives so that we don't have to see each other and feel untroubled.
"Yes, yes. Even the four guards of the Qiao family were defeated by you. The A Department needs young people like you."
At this moment, an old voice sounded, and no one could tell from which direction it came. It was like a kind of Sanskrit sound from outer space, filling the world and carrying a chilling aura.
All the Qiao family staff below raised their heads and looked around blankly.
Li Tian and Fatty Qiao's faces changed slightly. The person coming here must be a monster-level master from Division A.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
A figure with his hands behind his back rushed in from a large door below. Wherever he passed, he created countless illusory shadows, making it impossible to see his face clearly. But what was certain was that he was just walking, but his movement speed was astonishing, as if he could shrink the ground to an inch, and each step could cover a distance of dozens of meters.
Li Tian felt a flash before his eyes, and when he focused his eyes, a skinny old man suddenly stood in front of him, squinting his cloudy eyes and looking at him with a smile.
The old man had white hair and beard, his face was full of wrinkles from years of hardship, and he was wearing a simple Zhongshan suit.
He looks ordinary, but no one would think he is ordinary. The way he just walked, which was as quick as an inch, makes people feel awe from the bottom of their souls.
Li Tian swallowed his saliva and looked at the old man warily. The old man gave him an invisible sense of oppression.
The master's keen senses made him very sure that the old man was very strong. As for how strong he was, to be honest, he didn't want to try. The fact that he didn't want to try was enough to show that the old man's strength was unfathomable.
Damn, mention the devil and he will appear. This is definitely a heavyweight figure in Department A!
Li Tian couldn't help cursing in his heart. The higher he stood, the more he couldn't control himself. What she said was absolutely true. He felt that his dream of living a carefree and happy life seemed to be fading.
"Who are you?" Li Tian asked.
"I have forgotten my real name. Now I only remember my nickname, Xuanwu." The old man looked at Li Tian gently with his cloudy eyes.
Xuanwu?
Li Tian frowned. In that case, Division A also includes Suzaku, Azure Dragon and White Tiger.
Fatty Qiao asked directly, "Are there also Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger?"
“Yes, there is.”
The old man nodded and sighed, "However, they all failed to survive the butcher knife of time. They have returned to dust and earth."
Li Tian heaved a sigh of relief. This was great. If there were three other old monsters like the old man in front of him, he would feel that he would be suffocated by the invisible pressure.
