Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Wutian Is Captured

Huh?

Teacher?

Han Biwei froze again.

Qin Tianxuan took her hand and had her sit down.

Han Biwei shyly pulled her hand back. "Don’t do that."

Qin Tianxuan was speechless. "So I can’t even hold your hand now?"

"It’s not that. It’s Niannian. She keeps nagging me to get together with you, and I’m afraid she’ll get the wrong idea if she sees this."

Qin Tianxuan didn’t press the issue.

He pointed to the letter on the table. "Don’t tell anyone about this letter. To be honest, besides you, no one knows I even have a teacher!"

Ah. Han Biwei suddenly felt a small thrill of excitement.

’This is a secret between me and Qin Tianxuan,’ she thought. ’No one else knows.’

"But how did you meet this teacher? And why does no one else know about him?"

Recalling the past, Qin Tianxuan was filled with emotion. "Back then, the Chu Family refused to take my mother and me in. After she passed away, I became a stray. That was when I met my teacher. He taught me everything I know, but he made me swear never to tell anyone. In fact, I still don’t even know his name. I just call him Teacher."

Later, Qin Tianxuan joined the army and shot to fame in his first battle. He went through many trials and tribulations after that, but he rarely had the chance to see his mysterious teacher again.

They only corresponded occasionally through letters.

He had thought about buying his teacher a computer and a phone so they could stay in regular contact.

But his teacher flatly refused.

After so many years, he had finally received another letter from him.

Qin Tianxuan stood up. "I must go see the people from the Celestial Secret Platform and the Earth Supervision Department immediately."

Before he could leave, a sudden commotion erupted outside.

"The Celestial Secret Platform is on official business! Is your Northern Domain Battle Department trying to rebel? Shit! If you don’t get out of my way, I’ll fucking get physical!"

The shouting outside grew more chaotic.

But they could only hear a man with an Imperial Capital accent yelling furiously. Qin Tianxuan’s men were completely silent.

Han Biwei shot to her feet. "What’s happening? Why can’t I hear Prince or the others?"

Qin Tianxuan’s expression didn’t change. "My men don’t waste time arguing. They just act."

Sure enough, the sharp CRACK of a slap echoed from outside.

It was followed by a shriek. "You dare hit me? Who... who the fuck are you?"

"I am Prince of the God of Wealth Hall! I’m warning you, this is Mr. Qin’s courtyard. You’d better watch your damn mouth!"

Outside Frost Plum Courtyard, two groups of people faced off.

Prince, Lingsu, and their group looked outnumbered. Facing them was a full squadron of men who had arrived in twelve armored combat vehicles.

The leader was a young man with slick, greasy hair. He wore a black trench coat, and on its sleeve was a fearsome character for "Dragon."

Subordinates of the Celestial Secret Platform are also known as Dragon Platform Guards!

This young man was the Guard Captain, a man of extraordinary status.

But right now, he was clutching his face, where a deep, red handprint was already forming.

After being suddenly slapped by Prince, this incredibly powerful Steward Long of the Dragon Platform was utterly enraged.

He roared, "Take this brat back with us! Lock him in an interrogation room! I’m going to fucking teach him a lesson!"

The men behind him all frowned.

"Steward Long, the Chief’s order was for us to ’invite’ Qin Tianxuan to a meeting. This man, Prince, is Mr. Qin’s subordinate. This isn’t a good idea, is it?"

The subordinate’s words were very clear: the Grand Chief of the Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall had used the word "invite"!

But Steward Long flew into a rage. "I don’t care what Qin Tianxuan’s status is! His subordinate hit me, which is a slap in the face to everyone on the Dragon Platform! Are you defying my orders?"

The Dragon Platform Guards all straightened up, their black trench coats fluttering. "We wouldn’t dare!"

They closed in on Prince.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Lingsu and the others shielded Prince, while all around the courtyard, the hidden Night Emperor’s Guard revealed themselves.

The power dynamic on the scene shifted instantly!

Only then did the men from the Dragon Platform realize they were completely surrounded by figures.

Just as the stalemate set in, an SUV suddenly roared onto the scene.

The door opened, and out stepped none other than War Venerable Wutian!

"Big Brother Wutian, what are you doing here?" Prince and the others hurried over to greet him. "Weren’t you on guard duty in the Northern Domain?"

Wutian’s face was grim. "Listen to me. I received solid intelligence in the Northern Domain. The one who has come to Su City is the Grand Chief of the Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall—the top-level magnate known as Huang Tian!"

Ah!

The subordinates of the Five Palaces and Nine Armies were all stunned!

The Grand Chief of the Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall... that old man came in person?

"They’re trying to take Prince away. What do we do?" Lingsu asked anxiously.

A glint flashed in Wutian’s eyes. "Don’t be rash. If we make a move here, we’ll be in the wrong. They’ll use our resistance as a pretext to target Mr. Qin directly! Remember, no matter what we do, Mr. Qin is the one who ultimately faces the punishment!"

At that, Prince took a step forward. "Big Brother, I’ll go with them!"

Wutian’s gaze was sharp. "No. As your big brother, it’s my duty to handle this!"

With that, he threw off his jacket and, ignoring the dust from his long journey, walked up to Steward Long.

"I’ll go back with you. The Celestial Secret Platform can do whatever it wants with me!"

"Who are you?" Steward Long asked, rubbing his furious-looking face.

"I’m their big brother!" Wutian replied calmly.

"Great! I was looking to arrest a leader anyway. Take him away!" Steward Long sneered. "I’ll kill you all one by one later. First, I’ll let you experience the power of my Celestial Secret Platform."

Wutian was led into one of the vehicles. Steward Long turned, lit a cigarette, and then threw an invitation card onto the ground. "Our Grand Chief wants to see Qin Tianxuan. Take this invitation and go meet him. Remember, he only has half an hour!"

He lifted his foot, ground the invitation card under his heel, and even twisted his shoe on it for good measure. Finally, he spat a thick glob of phlegm on it before leading his men away with swaggering arrogance.
