Chapter 1717 Lian Xun Meets Xiao Tian

As Xiao Tian was talking with his father, Xiao Deng Jiang discussed their plan with his brothers.

“Let’s go to the Zhao family tomorrow.” Xiao Deng Jiang wanted to make the Zhao family their ally.

“Brother, we should make the Xing family our ally too.” Xiao Yimu added.

“I agreed.” Xiao Jianhao responded, “Even though the Xing family is not as powerful as the Zhao family, they have great influence in China.”

“Alright. We will go to the Xing family after visiting the Zhao family.” Xiao Deng Jiang responded.

“Un.” Xiao Yimu and Xiao Jianhao nodded their heads.

Ru village, Lian Xun’s House.

Lian Xun was sitting on a wooden bench under a tree. Anyone who saw him would think he was enjoying the beautiful morning in his yard.

However, they would be surprised if they knew what he had in mind because he was not enjoying the beautiful atmosphere in front of him, but he was thinking about how to save Lan Ruoxi and her mother.

He no longer wanted to see his disciple suffer, so he tried his best to save them. ‘Should I meet Xiao Tian’s father?’

Xiao Zhan often met Xiao Tian lately, so he could meet Xiao Zhan by following Xiao Tian or coming to his house.

‘Even though the possibility of him helping my disciple is small, I have to try it first.’

With that idea in mind, he left his house. —-

Xiao Zhan and the others were walking toward their car. After talking with Xiao Tian, they immediately left.

On their way to the Solaris village, they suddenly saw a great place to rest, so they decided to take a rest first.

“Xiao Zhan, you need more powerful people if you want to attack the Xiao family because I’m sure they have hired some skilled martial artists.” Wan Shun spoke abruptly.

“I’m looking fo-” Xiao Zhan stopped his words halfway when he saw Lian Xun floating in the sky.

“Lian Xun?” Wan Shun was startled when he saw Lian Xun.

Of course, he knew who Lian Xun was because Lian Xun was someone he acknowledged as a strong and talented martial artist.

“Whoa! A grandpa in Immortal Stage appears before us.” Wan Ying’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lian Xun.

“Senior Wan?” like Wan Shun, Lian Xun was also shocked.

Even though Xiao Zhan had never met or talked with Lian Xun before, he knew who Lian Xun was.

After landing on the ground safely, Lian Xun cupped his hands and greeted Wan Shun. “Long time no see, senior Wan.”

“Long time no see, Xun.” Wan Shun responded, “As I expected, you are indeed a talented martial artist. When did you break through to the seventh stage?”

“Five years ago.” Lian Xun gave an honest answer.

“I see. So, what makes you come to us?” Wan Shun asked curiously.

“I came to meet Xiao Zhan, senior.” After saying that, Lian Xun looked at Xiao Zhan. “Xiao Zhan, can we talk now?”

“Sure.” Even though he was startled, but Xiao Zhan did not show it on his face.

They then went to a restaurant that had private rooms.

After sitting on the chairs, Lian Xun told Xiao Zhan why he decided to meet him. He said he wanted to save Lan Ruoxi and her mother.

He also told Xiao Zhan about the complicated relationship between Xiao Tian, his disciple, and the Xiao family.

“What?! The Xiao Family took advantage of her situation to make her their tool?” Wu Lei was surprised and angry at the same time.

He knew the Xiao family was cruel, but now he knew they were crueler than he thought. They even took advantage of Lan Ruoxi’s situation.

“Xiao Zhan, I apologize because my disciple has caused trouble to you, your son, or your family.” Lian Xun uttered, “She did that because she had no other choice. I hope you can forgive her.”

Xiao Zhan could not blame Lan Ruoxi after learning about her situation.

‘But how should I explain this to my son later?’

He wanted to help Lian Xun, but he was afraid that it would ruin his relationship with his son.

“Elder Xun, I can help you.” Xiao Zhan told Lian Xun that he also had Ru Gou’s medical books.

“Really?” Lian Xun asked happily.

“But…” Xiao Zhan did not know how to explain it to his son later.

“But what?” Lian Xun inquired.

“I don’t think my son will agree with this.” Xiao Zhan did not want his relationship with Xiao Tian to be ruined because he could talk and spend time with his son after waiting almost twenty years.

“I see.” Lian Xun understood Xiao Zhan’s situation.

“Then why don’t you go and meet Xiao Tian now?” Wan Shun uttered.

“It seems like I have to do that.” Lian Xun knew that it was the only way to save Lan Ruoxi and her mother. “Then I will go meet your son now.”

He wasted no time and flew to Xiao Tian’s house. Every second was important to him, so he decided to meet Xiao Tian immediately.

After Lian Xun disappeared into the distance, Wan Shun uttered, “Xiao Zhan, why don’t you recruit him? I’m sure he also hates the Xiao family because they have made his disciples suffer.”

“You can ask him to help you destroy the Xiao family as a condition to treat Lan Ruoxi’s mother later.” Wu Lei agreed with Wan Shun’s words.

However, Xiao Zhan had a different thought.

“No. If I try to take advantage of the situation, then what is the difference between the Xiao family and me?” Xiao Zhan felt bad for Lian Xun and Lan Ruoxi, so he would not try to take advantage of the situation.

“Even though it’s a pity, but I like your answer.” Wan Shun tapped Xiao Zhan’s right shoulder. ‘I hope everything goes smoothly for you, Lian Xun.’

Xiao Tian’s Mansion, Backyard.

Xiao Tian was currently trying to master the seventh stage in the backyard. The weather was not hot, and the sky was blue, so he decided to practice martial arts.

‘I have to master the seventh stage as quickly as possible.’

With that idea in mind, he walked closer to the pool.

There was one reason why he decided to stand on the water.

It was for his safety!

It would try to make a pair of wings on his back so he would fall to the water if he failed.

But before he could do that, he noticed Lian Xun floating in the sky.

‘Lian Xun?’

He did not behave politely like usual because he was Lan Ruoxi’s master.

After landing on the ground, Lian Xun uttered, “Xiao Tian, can we talk?”

Instead of answering his question, Xiao Tian inquired, “Is it related to Lan Ruoxi?”

“Yes.” Lian Xun gave an honest answer. “Or, more precisely, it’s related to her mother.”

Xiao Tian did not say anything and only stared at Lian Xun.

“If you agree, I will tell you everything about my disciple and her mother later.” Lian Xun would try his best to make Xiao Tian agree to talk with him.

“Alright. Follow me.” Xiao Tian then walked toward the stone chairs. After sitting on the stone chairs, Lian Xun said, “I will tell you everything now.”
