Chapter 1064: Chapter 1060: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Xiao Tian’s face revealed a hint of a bitter smile, and then he took out something resembling a notebook from his bosom. It was a Heart Method he had copied from the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, and it was, to date, the most advanced Heart Method he could offer.

After gently placing it down, Xiao Tian turned around and walked away...

Of course, he was unaware that once he left, the tightly closed door slowly opened, revealing Kojima Minako, whose face showed a complex expression.

Even more unbeknownst to him was that Kojima Minako would achieve great heights with this Heart Method in the future!

Shortly after Xiao Tian left, the silhouette of a woman in black appeared in the courtyard. Upon seeing the notebook-like item outside the door, a look of anger appeared on her face uncontrollably.

"Master, it is my incompetence to have fallen for that boy’s trick!" the black-clad woman said with irrepressible anger, her head lowered deeply, a stance of facing punishment for wrongdoing.

Kojima Minako, however, showed no significant emotional fluctuation. She already knew the woman in black couldn’t stop Xiao Tian, so after a long silence, she spoke, "Bring the thing outside in."

"Yes!"

The black-clad woman agreed, went outside, and picked up the notebook left by Xiao Tian, almost wishing to tear it to shreds or burn it to ashes.

But, since it was something Kojima Minako wanted, she dared not disobey, and even less dared to vent her anger, so she respectfully handed it over with both hands.

Kojima Minako flipped through two pages, casually glancing at the content on the notebook. The calligraphy was vigorous and swift, giving an impression of sharpness; where the strokes lifted, it was like a weapon unsheathed, revealing its edge unabashedly!

However, just from this casual glance, Kojima Minako’s eyes widened. It wasn’t the excellence of Xiao Tian’s writing that surprised her to this extent, but the content written on it...

Although she couldn’t utilize True Qi at the moment, she was a master far stronger than Xiao Tian, with insightful vision. She immediately realized it was a Heart Method, and a rather exceptional one at that!

She quickly flipped to the first page and only read the first two lines, immediately closing the notebook, taking a deep breath as both of her eyes shut tightly...

At this moment, she truly felt, for the first time, that she couldn’t completely see through Xiao Tian. Such a valuable item given to her, if it was purely for apology, then this apology was somewhat excessive.

But if it wasn’t purely for an apology, then... what was it for?

Thinking so, Kojima Minako forcibly interrupted her own thoughts.

...

Though Xiao Tian knew any Heart Method from the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion would naturally be extraordinary, he didn’t anticipate achieving such a significant impact. At least when Kojima Minako saw the Heart Method, the gloom within her was immediately dispelled, replaced by a rekindling hope and an indefinable complexity.

However, he remained oblivious to all of this.

Retracing his steps back, Xiao Tian caught sight of Ozawa Miwa standing just outside the small courtyard, appearing rather down. Her eyes were noticeably red, as if she had recently cried!

As he saw Ozawa Miwa, she lifted her head, and their eyes met. The princess’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she swiftly advanced toward him with her long legs.

Xiao Tian smelled a waft of sweet fragrance approaching, followed by a soft sensation in front of him as a pair of gentle little hands wrapped around his waist.

"Brother Xiao Tian, I... I thought you wouldn’t come back!" Ozawa Miwa pressed her cheek against Xiao Tian’s chest, rubbing lightly while revealing a relieved smile.

"Do I have so little credibility in your heart?" Xiao Tian asked with a laugh, his previously heavy feelings significantly improved.

Ozawa Miwa’s face reddened as she stammered, "No, not really, I, I..." Yet she couldn’t articulate the reason.

Xiao Tian understood, or from the details he could see, that Ozawa Miwa’s tears at the moment were likely not caused by him.

But judging by her demeanor, the middle-aged man should have chosen to agree or was compelled to compromise!

In this case, it was Xiao Tian’s turn to be surprised. Why would he agree so easily? Does he not care about the public opinion?

...

Coinciding with this moment, several members of the Zhong Family had quietly arrived, among them was a woman with a fiery figure and long brown hair. The woman wore a mask, and even around her neck was wrapped with a checkered scarf, carrying a black backpack on her back... she was Adison Claire.

Seeing so many people surround them, Ozawa Miwa’s face flushed with heat, and she let out a startled cry, burying her head against Xiao Tian’s chest, not daring to look up at the Zhong Family’s masters.

Seeing the princess in such a state, several people laughed out loud and started whispering among themselves.

Only two people remained unaffected, not joining in...

The leader, upon witnessing such ill-fated conduct from his subordinates, felt an immediate urge to sigh with his hand on his forehead, thinking, "What kind of people am I leading!"

With a silent determination, he resolved to put these unruly scoundrels back in line once they reached Huaxia!

As for the other person, it was the backpack-carrying Adison Claire...

Having deeply glanced at Xiao Tian, she withdrew her gaze from him, taking off the backpack from her back, and casually handed it to a nearby master before preparing to leave the crowd.

This movement naturally didn’t escape Xiao Tian’s eyes, and after soothing the shy princess, he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Wait a moment, aren’t you coming with me to Huaxia?"

Adison Claire paused her steps, glanced at Xiao Tian, then at Ozawa Miwa behind him, shaking her head, "No, I feel like you don’t seem as committed to the Water Drop Organization issue as I thought."

While speaking, she seemed intentionally or perhaps casually to let her gaze fall on Ozawa Miwa, albeit briefly—too brief to catch anyone’s attention.

However, Xiao Tian felt that Adison Claire’s earlier look contained deeper meaning, like she was implying something to him.

In truth, for an organization constantly wanting to kill him, how could Xiao Tian not be attentive?

Adison Claire wasn’t childish, knowing real concern is not about constantly bringing it up but perhaps silently keeping it in mind!

After a brief consideration, Xiao Tian spoke, "I think you might have misunderstood. Regarding the Water Drop Organization, I am determined to eradicate them, therefore, I need your help!"

After a moment of silence, Adison Claire hesitated for a while, not giving a verbal response, but turned back halfway, returning to the crowd.

In her heart, she couldn’t help but be surprised, wondering why she just said those words? What was she about to do?

Subsequently, she also felt secretly relieved, grateful for Xiao Tian stopping her, otherwise, she truly would have regretted it immensely.
