Chapter 1775  Let’s Just Fight Them Openly

Xiao Tian turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'Mrs. Qiao Zexi?'

Even though he was shocked, he did not show it on his face.

"Hello, Mrs Qiao." Like usual, he showed his soft smile as he said.

After they sat on the chairs, Qiao Zexi uttered, "Young master Xiao, I heard you have mastered the seventh stage. Is that true?"

She did not bring Lan Ruoxi into the conversation first because Xiao Tian would have known her real intention if she had done that.

"Yes. I mastered it several days ago." He did not praise himself like usual because he was not talking with his women.

"Then we will depend on you to destroy the Xiao family later." Unlike Xiao Tian, Qiao Zexi was only an ordinary martial artist.

However, she was a powerful martial artist because she was already at the Grandmaster stage.

"I will do my best in the upcoming war." Xiao Tian knew the reason why Qiao Zexi joined his father's group.

"Ah, by the way. This is one of my most skilled subordinates. Her name is Black Tigress." Qiao Zexi introduced Lan Ruoxi to Xiao Tian. "She is wearing a mask because the Xiao family did something bad to her face in the past."

Xiao Tian instantly shifted his gaze from Qiao Zexi to Lan Ruoxi.

"Hello." He still had no idea that Black Tigress was Lan Ruoxi.

"Hello." Lan Ruoxi responded.

The trio continued talking.

Even though Lan Ruoxi talked with him using her fake identity, she was still happy because it had been a long time since the last time Xiao Tian acted warmly to her.

Sure, Xiao Tian had never yelled or cursed her, but his eyes were filled with coldness when they met.

That was why she was delighted because there was no coldness in his eyes when he chatted to her.

As the trio was chatting happily, Yukina suddenly appeared.

"Handsome…" even though Yukina was hiding her identity, the way she called him was still the same.

Xiao Tian was the most beautiful human she had ever met, so she always called him handsome because he refused to be addressed as beautiful.

Lan Ruoxi and Qiao Zexi instantly looked at Yukina.

'His new bodyguard?'

They knew who Yukina was because Xiao Zhan introduced her to everyone in the previous meeting.

Of course, Xiao Zhan introduced her using her fake identity because he still did not know her real identity.

And as if Xiao Tian was her lover, Yukina instantly sat next to him and embraced his right arm.

Lan Ruoxi was suddenly jealous of Yukina.

She always wanted to hug his arms, but she could not do that because Xiao Tian was still angry at her.

'My love…'

She could not express her feelings and only stared at him.

Qiao Zexi instantly looked at Lan Ruoxi.

'What a pitiful girl! She loves him, but she can't express it.'

She felt sorry for Lan Ruoxi.

Xiao Tian looked at Yukina and inquired, "Why are you here? Weren't you with Crystal earlier?"

"Your father is talking with her." Yukina responded, "Handsome, I found a good place earlier. That place has an amazing view. Let's go there."

Xiao Tian returned his attention to Qiao Zexi. "Mrs. Qiao Zexi, I want to take my new bodyguard for a walk around this place. Let's talk again next time."

"Alright." Qiao Zexi responded.

And with that, Xiao Tian and Yukina left.

"Young master Xiao is really popular. Even his new bodyguard is already in love with him." Qiao Zexi believed Yukina was in love with Xiao Tian because it could be seen from her behavior.

"He is indeed a popular person." Lan Ruoxi already knew about this because Xiao Tian was always surrounded by beautiful women.

"Alright. I will go meet Mister Xiao Zhan first. I have something to say to him." Qiao Zexi rose to her feet after saying that.

Lan Ruoxi did not follow her and kept sitting on a chair.

'My love…'

She looked in the direction where Xiao Tian and Yukina had left.

Xiao Family House, Living Room.

Xiao Deng Jiang was currently with his daughter, brothers, and subordinates. They were in the living room because he wanted to hear reports from his subordinates.

His subordinates had found Xiao Zhan's hidden base, so he wanted to hear the report in detail directly.

"So, their hidden base is located in the forest between two mountains, huh?" Xiao Deng Jiang finally knew why he could not find Xiao Zhan's hidden base in the past.

"That's right, master." His subordinate responded, "Their hidden base is closely guarded by his subordinates. Some of his subordinates even patrol the surrounding forest twice a day."

"We can't set traps if they patrol around the forest every day." Xiao Deng Jiang had the intention to set a trap earlier.

"Father, you have hired five powerful martial artists. We even have many subordinates and experimental beasts. Why do we have to use small tricks like traps? Just attack them directly." Xiao Yaling believed they would not lose to Xiao Zhan and his subordinates.

"That's right, brother." Xiao Yimu agreed with Xiao Yaling's words. "All the martial artists we recruit are ranked in the top twenty of the global ranking. Even the first place and third place are on our side now. Just attack them openly."

"I agreed, brother." Xiao Jianhao added. "Everything is useless in front of absolute power. We are destined to win the war."

"Alright. We will check the surrounding area first." Xiao Deng Jiang uttered, "If there are no hidden traps, we will attack them immediately."

"Alright." Xiao Yimu and the others agreed.

Li Family House, Living Room.

Li Mei was currently talking with her subordinate over the phone. Her subordinate had important information, so he called her immediately.

"So, they have found Xiao Zhan's hidden base, huh?" she was happy with the good news.

"That's right, Miss." Her subordinate uttered, "Based on the Xiao family personality, I'm sure they will attack Xiao Zhan in a few days."

"What about Xiao Zhan's side? Are they ready for war?" she inquired. "Yes. They are ready for war." he responded.

"Alright. Keep monitoring them." She hung up the phone after that.

'Xiao Zhan, Xiao Tian. I have finished preparing everything, too. Hurry up and fight, so that I can take advantage of the situation later.'

Her lips curled up into a grin.

----

Hidden Base, Living Room.

Xiao Zhan was currently talking with Qiao Zexi and the others. Unlike before, they did not talk about the Xiao family this time.

They talked about other things like business and family. That was why the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

"Brother Zhan, your son seems to be very popular like you when we were at university. Haha." Qing Yuhan laughed after saying that.

"Haha." Xiao Zhan also laughed. "It seems like brother Zhan will have a big family in the future." Like before, Qing Yuhan laughed again.

"I just met young master Xiao. And I can tell his new bodyguard is in love with him too." Qiao Zexi added.

"I also know about this." Xiao Zhan responded, "When we met for the first time, she even slipped her tongue and called me father-in-law. Haha."

"Haha." Qiao Zexi and the others laughed.

As they were laughing happily, one of Xiao Zhan's subordinates entered the living room.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhan inquired.

"Master, the Xiao family has found this place." His subordinate responded.
