Chapter 1081 - 1077: Abnormality and Contradiction

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1077: Abnormality and Contradiction

Until the gates of the Qian Family estate slowly closed, the Zhong Family experts, along with Ozawa Miwa and Adison Claire, still felt a sense of unreality, as if they had just experienced a thrilling dream.

"Brother Xiao Tian... did they... just let us leave so easily?" The little princess blinked her big eyes, looking at Xiao Tian and asked, her long eyelashes fluttering, making her look exceptionally charming.

Xiao Tian patted Ozawa Miwa’s little head and smiled, responding with a question: "What else? Do you really think the Qian Family could host us for a banquet?"

Startled by Xiao Tian’s gesture, Ozawa Miwa blushed and said, "No, it’s just... it feels a bit too abnormal, not according to common sense."

"Oh?" Xiao Tian showed a very interested expression and asked with a smile, "Then tell me, which parts are abnormal and which parts are not according to common sense?"

Hearing this, everyone had black lines on their faces, inwardly grumbling: "You have the nerve to ask what’s abnormal? Everything is abnormal, isn’t it?"

Just like a certain young master who returned to behaving properly, recalling the impeccable performance just now left everyone so amazed that they couldn’t speak, feeling at a loss for words.

Yet Ozawa Miwa answered very seriously: "Look, you hit the son of Patriarch Qian, but he didn’t seem that furious, which is very abnormal; when a fight was imminent, he ordered us to leave, which doesn’t follow common logic, does it?"

Adison Claire and several Zhong Family experts, upon hearing the little princess’s reply, all nodded slowly, clearly puzzled and confused about this matter.

Xiao Tian glanced over everyone, couldn’t help but smile while holding his forehead, considering that these people are intelligent, they shouldn’t fail to comprehend these issues, but at the moment he had to provide an explanation.

"You should know, things are divided into major and minor matters, and as the leader of a family, the primary task is to develop one’s power and tread over competitors; thus, Qian Gaochang getting hit naturally becomes a minor issue."

"Even if Patriarch Qian doesn’t think that way, his status forces him to set aside personal grievances and view the situation from a macro perspective." Xiao Tian said lightly: "Once you understand this, you won’t find it abnormal."

"Actually, if you think back, when I showed disregard for their supposed leverage and was about to leave, Patriarch Qian did mention Qian Gaochang’s matter."

"As for why it wasn’t emphasized later..." Xiao Tian paused briefly and said, "In my view, he was hesitating, thinking that if I didn’t care about the fatal leverage, Qian Gaochang’s matter was even less significant; even if mentioned, it was insignificant for me."

Though everyone wasn’t sure if Xiao Tian’s psychological assessment of Patriarch Qian was correct, they were all stunned, surprised to find that even in such a situation, his mind remained clear and unimpressed by the Qian Family.

"What Xiao Tian said, why does it sound so much like psychological tactics?" Ozawa Miwa tilted her little head, seemingly enlightened.

"You’re not wrong. Most negotiations are psychological battles, but I don’t have as many concerns as him, reducing interference, allowing me to press the advantage step by step." Xiao Tian said, "Although you seemed to be walking on the edge of danger, I knew he didn’t dare do anything to us."

After speaking, he couldn’t help but add: "Even if the worst happens and we end up fighting, do you think I’d be afraid of a bunch of weaklings?"

Listening to their young master boastfully, with "arrogant words," several Zhong Family experts exchanged glances, each with a crooked smile: You really dare to say, if the Qian Family’s experts are weaklings, then aren’t we even less than that?

After all, it was that group of weaklings, you mentioned, that almost wiped us out just now!

The little princess heard Xiao Tian’s bold words, her beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle like little stars, holding her small hands against her chest, her face full of admiration, sincerely said: "Brother Xiao Tian, you looked so handsome just now!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but smile even more proudly, smugly saying: "Naturally!"

However, Adison Claire watched Xiao Tian smiling widely, and showed apparent displeasure, speaking coldly: "I remember you just said you didn’t have as many concerns as Patriarch Qian, that’s why you could plan step by step to the end?"

Saying this, she added a cold laugh and said, "It seems you didn’t care about us at all, not even a bit, did you..."

Xiao Tian was taken aback, and his smile faded. He wasn’t sure why Adison Claire suddenly questioned him, but he braced himself to explain: "I definitely considered that; I wouldn’t recklessly act on things I’m unsure of."

Adison Claire remained unswayed, still spoke coldly: "Just like you taking the royal little princess back to Huaxia?"

"Uh..." Xiao Tian was at a loss for words, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Realizing the atmosphere was off, Ozawa Miwa quickly intervened to ease the situation: "Alright, alright, Brother Xiao Tian, you haven’t answered my second question yet,"

Xiao Tian immediately returned a grateful look and pondered: "What was the second question again... Oh, Patriarch Qian letting us leave didn’t follow common sense, is that it?"

"Yes, yes!" The little princess nodded eagerly, awaiting his explanation with an expectant face.

Adison Claire, seeing the topic return to normal, also set aside her previous inexplicable displeasure, perked up her ears, equally awaiting Xiao Tian’s explanation, though not as obviously as Ozawa Miwa.

"This point is easy to explain." Xiao Tian looked at Ozawa Miwa, seriously said: "The only leverage the Qian Family could use against us is me bringing you back to Huaxia, but I’ve already had the Wu Family release the news ahead of them, so what threat could he pose to me?"

"One Qian Family young master, Qian Gaochang, is far from needing to be killed." Xiao Tian smiled confidently: "Moreover, I didn’t really kill Qian Gaochang, so they can’t really do anything about me... Don’t forget, I’m the young master of the Zhong Family, the nephew of the Xiao Family Patriarch; if the Qian Family wants to act against me, heh..."

Xiao Tian didn’t say more, but the disdain in his "heh" was unmistakably revealed.

After hearing these explanations, all the lingering doubts in everyone’s hearts were cleared, but they gained a new appreciation for Xiao Tian’s quick wit!

"Young master, while that’s true, we should leave here as soon as possible, in case the Qian Family sets an ambush for revenge halfway through, it would really be terrible." A Zhong Family expert reminded.
