Chapter 1063: Chapter 1059: The Black-Clad Woman Blocking the Road

"Such a pretty and noble little princess, keen on following me wholeheartedly—I’m delighted! How could I refuse?" Xiao Tian said with a smile.

This statement was half true and half intended to be heard by the middle-aged man.

Xiao Tian most disliked being manipulated, especially seeing someone so confident, thinking they’ve figured him out—he finds it utterly repugnant.

This time, the middle-aged man had the misfortune of walking right into chaos, a bit of self-inflicted suffering.

Of course, speaking of which, if Xiao Tian truly didn’t want to bring Ozawa Miwa from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn’t agree at all.

Ultimately, the middle-aged man underestimated Xiao Tian’s resilience, assuming that even if he agreed, Xiao Tian would definitely refuse.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words, Ozawa Miwa was both surprised and delighted, mixed with a bit of sweetness, like the joy of receiving candy in childhood!

However, her face was flushed, and she lowered her head, asking in a barely audible voice, "Brother Xiao Tian, is what you said just now true?"

"It’s true!" Xiao Tian responded without hesitation, then continued, "We have your father to thank for making this happen; without his consent, we wouldn’t achieve our wish!"

"Mm, mm!" Ozawa Miwa nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned to the middle-aged man, bowing happily: "Thank you, Father Emperor, for making this possible!"

"Ma... Making possible?" The middle-aged man murmured in a daze, then suddenly widened his eyes, realizing what had just happened.

Suddenly, his gaze at Xiao Tian turned fierce, and his facial expression gradually transformed into a snarl, showing teeth like a beast whose prey had been stolen!

Xiao Tian understood that the provocation of the middle-aged man was about enough, otherwise recklessly pushing forward could have a reverse effect.

Despite making the middle-aged man suffer in his territory, Xiao Tian didn’t forget the absolute disparity in strength between them. Never mind not being recovered; even at full strength, he’s nowhere near an opponent for him!

Moreover, this is the middle-aged man’s territory; if he forces him to tear off the façade, it will be extremely detrimental to him!

"You talk first; I’ll take my leave." Xiao Tian spoke to bid farewell, knowing he could only help Ozawa Miwa this far. As for the outcome, it’s beyond his control.

Seeing Xiao Tian turning to leave, the little princess, like a frightened rabbit, couldn’t care about shyness and reservation, grabbing his sleeve urgently: "Brother Xiao Tian, where are you going?"

Xiao Tian chuckled softly, replied: "I’m going out for a walk; I’ll be back soon."

After confirming Xiao Tian wasn’t fooling her, Ozawa Miwa let go, but her demeanor was unmistakably one of "reluctant farewell," leaving the middle-aged man feeling stifled, unable to go up or down, as if about to explode!

...

After leaving the small yard, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but sigh.

He certainly didn’t leave for a "walk" as he said but had other intentions. Yet, the more he pondered, the heavier his heart felt.

After adjusting his mood, Xiao Tian turned and headed in a direction.

"Stop!"

Outside a courtyard, similar to the previous one, a young woman in dark clothes blocked his path coldly.

"Who are you?" Xiao Tian frowned, sizing up the white-toothed woman, vaguely guessing her identity from her behavior.

The woman’s face remained unchanged, snapping coldly, "My master instructed, no visitors!"

Xiao Tian’s expression changed, not due to the woman’s attitude, but a sudden worry for Kojima Minako.

"Can I speak with your master from outside, without going in?" Xiao Tian compromised.

"No!" The woman refused decisively.

Xiao Tian took a deep breath, understanding her hostility, compromised again: "Then, let me tell you; please pass along a message."

Finally, the woman’s cold expression softened, brows furrowed, glancing askance at Xiao Tian: "You’re so thick-skinned, saying my master sees no one, yet won’t leave, asking me to send a message. Why should I help you?"

At this point, Xiao Tian couldn’t suppress his anger, repeated concessions failed to thaw her stance, stirring his ire.

He could comprehend her animosity but comprehending doesn’t mean agreeing!

If Kojima Minako were here, regardless of how she scolded him, even hitting him; Xiao Tian would pay it no mind.

But being troubled by an irrelevant outsider, this, Xiao Tian truly couldn’t abide!

...

"I’ll come again next time." Xiao Tian remarked calmly, then prepared to leave.

In the next instant, Xiao Tian casually struck his side, revealing a silver needle gleaming coldly, then suddenly turned and threw it...

The woman in dark clothes never imagined Xiao Tian’s sudden counterstrike, momentarily caught off guard. Fortunately, as someone experienced, she twisted her torso swiftly, hands steadying herself to narrowly dodge the projectile.

Xiao Tian blinked, equally astonished by the woman’s reflexes, then fled hastily!

Jokes aside, given his current strength, he couldn’t defeat her; failing the ambush, not escaping promptly meant awaiting retaliation?

"Bold!" The woman stood, clapped her pale hands—not applauding Xiao Tian, but dusting off.

Seeing Xiao Tian fleeing like a rabbit, she squinted, then utilized her body technique, arrowing towards him, intending to seize and beat him!

The woman was skilled, understanding Xiao Tian’s intent wasn’t lethal but to obstruct her True Qi momentarily, allowing escape.

Yet ultimately, her reaction was quicker...

...

About a quarter-hour later, Xiao Tian reappeared outside the small courtyard, absent of the woman in dark clothes blocking the way.

After some thought, Xiao Tian decided against entering, stating outside: "This time, I’m here to bid farewell. Trust me; within a year, I promise to heal your legs!"

He waited outside for a while after speaking but received no response...
