Chapter 1227: Is This His Secret Technique?

“I only know three families that can help you in this matter.” Lan Ruoxi spoke and paused for a second before she continued, “Li family and Qing family.”

Xiao Tian touched his chin with his right hand. “Li family and Qing family?”

A few months ago, he had a conflict with Qing Xiulan, so he was sure that the Qing family would not help him.

‘Even though I have a good relationship with Li Wen, but I’m not sure if he is willing to help me in this matter.’

His relationship with Li Wen was only limited to business relationships, and it was because of Yun Xin Er.

“Lady Lan, you said three families, right? So, who is the last family that can help me in this matter?” Lan Ruoxi only told him two out of three families, so Xiao Tian wanted to know the last family that could help him.

“It’s your father’s family, the Xiao family.” Lan Ruoxi did not tell him immediately because she knew the relationship between Xiao Tian and the Xiao family.

She was sure that Xiao Tian would not ask the Xiao family to help him because he hated the Xiao family to the bone.

They kicked him and his family out of the Xiao family a few years ago. For this reason, his mother and aunt had a hard time in the past.

And what Lan Ruoxi had guessed was right because Xiao Tian instantly said he would not ask the Xiao family to help him.

*Sigh…

Xiao Tian could only sigh when Lan Ruoxi only gave him the choices he could not take.

“I will put this idea on hold for now.” Xiao Tian decided to put his idea on hold because no one could help him for now.

After talking with Lan Ruoxi for several minutes, Xiao Tian returned to the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters because he wanted to guide Ren Aoxu to practice the second secret technique.

——

Blue Ice Lotus Gang Headquarters, Front Yard.

Xiao Tian was currently guiding Ren Aoxu in mastering the second secret move.

“Junior brother, you did it wrong. Watch my footsteps and hands carefully.” After saying that, Xiao Tian began to demonstrate the second secret technique.

Ren Aoxu paid attention to Xiao Tian carefully. However, he still could not understand it well because he could not look at Xiao Tian’s footsteps and hand at the same time.

When Xiao Tian saw Ren Aoxu’s expression, he knew that Ren Aoxu still did not get it, so he decided to demonstrate the second secret technique again and slow down his movements.

Ren Aoxu followed Xiao Tian’s movements from behind. Even though Xiao Tian had slowed down his movements, but it was still too fast for Ren Aoxu.

Ren Aoxu kept failing to synchronize his footsteps and attacks.

At this moment, a few of Xiao Tian’s underlings stood not far from them because they were interested in what Xiao Tian was doing.

“Whoa, so cool!”

“As expected of our leader, he is really strong.”

“Is this his secret technique?”

“Ah! I have seen this move a few times before!”

Xiao Tian had used his secret technique a few times in front of his underlings, so all of them knew about it.

“Leader, can you also teach us this secret move?” one of his underlings inquired.

He was also a swordsman, so he wanted to learn Xiao Tian’s secret technique too.

“I want to learn it too.”

“Me too.”

“Leader, please teach us too.”

“Yes, leader. Please teach us too.”

One by one, Xiao Tian’s underlings, who used swords or blades, asked him to teach them too.

Xiao Tian instantly turned around and replied, “No!”

“Why? Why did you refuse to teach us?” they were sad when Xiao Tian refused their wish without thinking twice.

“Because you are my underlings, not the disciples of my martial arts school.” Xiao Tian told them the reason why he refused to teach them his secret techniques.

“Then, I want to be the disciple of your martial arts school, leader.” One of his underlings responded instantly.

“Me too. I want to become the disciple of your martial arts school.”

“I want to join too.”

“Me too.”

“Met too.”

They wanted to be the disciple of Moon Sword Martial Arts School for the sake of learning their secret techniques.

They even did not realize that Xiao Tian was disappointed by their words. 

“Oh! So you want to betray me, huh?” Xiao Tian took his wooden sword before swinging it a few times. “Are you asking for a beating?”

“Leader, what do you mean by that? We only want to learn your secret moves, not betray you.” one of his underlings responded instantly.

“She is right. We only want to learn your secret moves.” Another member added.

“Is that so? Then I will give you one chance.” Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, “If you can defeat me, I will teach you my secret techniques.”

There were ten people who wanted to learn his secret techniques. 

Three of them were martial artists at the high-level master stage, while the others were martial artists at the mid-level master stage.

Xiao Tian’s underlings exchanged a glance with each other.

‘We have to beat him?’

They knew how strong Xiao Tian was, so they were not sure if they could defeat him or not.

When Xiao Tian saw their expressions, he said again, “So how is it? I don’t mind if all of you attack me at the same time.”

These ten people nodded their heads before finally answering, “We agreed.”

Xiao Tian’s lips curled up into a grin. He was in his prime condition, so he was sure that he could defeat them later.

He was even sure that he could defeat an ordinary martial artist at the low-level grandmaster stage at his prime condition.

“Hey, look! Our leader is going to spar with them.”

“Whoa! One versus ten?!”

“How long do you think it will take for him to beat them?” 

“Six minutes!”

“Five minutes!”

“Three minutes.”

“I bet, two minutes! Who dares to bet with me?” 

“Sure. I will bet with you.”

“Me too.”

Of course, Xiao Tian’s underlings were sure he would win the fight later because they knew how strong he was.

When he became their leader, he was only at the low-level master stage, but he had broken through to the high-level master stage in just two years.

They had never heard of anyone progressing so quickly in martial arts like their leader.

This was the reason why they believed that they could become the strongest gang in Shanghai later because their leader was an extraordinary martial artist.

Not only that, but their leader also treated them well. He was even willing to spend a lot of his money for the sake of making them stronger.

With an amazing leader like Xiao Tian, it was only a matter of time before they would become the strongest gang in Shanghai.

No, there was even a probability that they would become the strongest gang in China in the future.

“I won’t show mercy this time, so don’t blame me later.” Xiao Tian swung his wooden sword before finally walking closer to them.

“We also have no intention of holding back, so don’t blame us if we injure you later.” one of his underlings uttered.

“Sure.” Xiao Tian responded, “Alright. Let’s start this.”
