Chapter 771: Chapter 768: The Lively and Playful Xiao Tian
Zhong Aiguo’s response was a letter, every word of which revealed his partiality towards his son, believing that all the fault was solely caused by Huang Feihu’s son.
For Huang Feihu, who had just felt a sense of imbalance, this was akin to a slap in the face.
He really wanted to know, in the indulgent environment like the one Zhong Aiguo provided, what kind of son would be raised?!
Soon, with the arrival of Xiao Tian, the answer began to unfold...
"Your Huang Family is really thoughtful!" Xiao Tian commented as he walked, speaking to the butler leading the way.
The butler heard the praise and responded without arrogance or subservience, "Our Huang Family naturally pays great attention to hospitality, but it depends on the guest. If it’s an uninvited guest, that’s a different matter!"
Xiao Tian chuckled lightly, not expecting even a butler from the Huang Family to speak such words with hidden meanings, truly living up to the name of the overlord of the Northern Border!
However, unfortunately, this time the Huang Family encountered the invincible Xiao Tian. Never mind if the words contained knives; even if they were bombs, it wouldn’t matter!
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Tian said as if tasting something, casually pointing, "Are those people hidden over there part of the surprise for your honored guests?"
The butler was startled, looking at Xiao Tian, who appeared relaxed and casual, not knowing if he had really spotted them or was merely probing with words, so he said, "You must be joking, where could there be hidden people in broad daylight?"
"Aren’t there?" Xiao Tian feigned surprise, scratching his head, and asked Lin Bingxuan beside him, "Do you see someone over there?"
Lin Bingxuan looked in the direction Xiao Tian pointed and indeed noticed something unusual, somewhat marveling at Xiao Tian’s meticulousness.
In fact, ever since she stepped into the gates of the Huang Family, she had been maintaining utmost caution and vigilance.
However, she focused all her thoughts on being prepared for any sudden events and didn’t pay attention to details like Xiao Tian, so it was natural not to notice.
"Hmm, it does seem like someone’s hiding there!" Lin Bingxuan replied.
These words sent shockwaves through all the experts hidden in the area, who couldn’t help but silently recite three-character classics in their hearts.
This is such a pit!
With your one sentence, we were scared out of our wits, afraid to even take a deep breath, isn’t it?
However, the nightmare for the experts hidden in the shadows had only just begun...
"Look over there, is there also someone?"
"And on the eaves..."
"That one over there, yes, yes, yes, the one hiding in the water, just watch, they won’t be able to hold their breath and will come up!"
Since exposing the first hidden expert, Xiao Tian seemed to get a taste for it, standing still and focusing on pointing out the locations of one expert after another.
However, the butler’s face turned ashen, unable to say a word in defense.
The reason being nothing other than Xiao Tian’s accuracy, which made it impossible to speak against one’s conscience.
Equally astonished was Lin Bingxuan beside Xiao Tian, realizing that in just a few dozen square meters, there were at least a dozen experts hidden in the shadows. If the Huang Family was truly inviting guests with sincere intentions, it would be an insult to intelligence!
Seeing that a minute and a half had passed, but Xiao Tian still staring at the water, the butler finally couldn’t help but speak, "We should head to the reception hall, the Patriarch is waiting to greet you both there!"
Xiao Tian, however, waved his hand, saying, "No rush, no rush. Your Huang Family’s diligently prepared surprises shouldn’t go unappreciated."
"Hey, you cut me off, and I really forgot where I was in the count, so I have to restart now. Who knows, the one down there might set a world record!"
The expert hidden at the lake’s bottom, relying on exceptional hearing, heard these blurred words and immediately felt the world go black, almost drowning as he nearly lost his breath.
What in the world is happening?!
Who said anything about challenging any world record?!
Everything happening in the Huang Family courtyard did not escape the eyes of Patriarch Huang Feihu. Seeing his arrangements exposed in an instant, the anger displayed between his eyebrows seemed almost tangible, the heat evident on his face.
The carefully prepared traps and devices were so easily unraveled by others; this wasn’t just a question of the opponent’s simplicity, but rather a matter of the Huang Family’s dignity!
Facing such a swift show of strength from the opponent, Huang Feihu finally discarded his relaxed attitude and began to take seriously the descendants of the Zhong Family...
"Enough!"
After a shout of anger, Huang Feihu looked at the startled Huang Qisheng and ordered, "Notify all personnel in hiding to stand by on the spot; the original plan is scrapped!"
Huang Qisheng acknowledged and quickly retreated, simultaneously issuing orders while personally going to greet Xiao Tian.
"Isn’t this Young Master Huang Qisheng?"
Upon seeing Huang Qisheng approach with the same enthusiastic smile as at their first meeting, Xiao Tian greeted first, "Quick, quick, quick, it’s been over six minutes, your strongman is impressive!"
Huang Qisheng agonized inwardly but responded with a still-smiling face, "I was somewhat rude last time we met; please forgive me!"
"No hard feelings, no hard feelings!" Xiao Tian replied, "Who doesn’t have their moments of perversity?"
"Uh...you must have misheard!" Huang Qisheng quickly corrected, "I said rudeness just now!"
"Oh, it doesn’t matter what kind it is!" He turned his gaze to Lin Bingxuan beside him, "Right? Lin?"
Lin Bingxuan couldn’t help but giggle, finding this lively Xiao Tian quite nostalgic!
Remembering the first time he was met, he had the same carefree demeanor.
Seeing that he couldn’t best Xiao Tian, Huang Qisheng shifted the topic quickly, "My father has been waiting in the reception hall for a long time; we should go meet him, right?"
With no choice but to say so, Huang Qisheng selectively chose to forget about the underwater hidden expert issue Xiao Tian had mentioned.
"Sure!"
Xiao Tian slightly composed himself and followed Huang Qisheng away from the lake, though he glanced back regretfully, looking quite reluctant to leave.
Witnessing this, the butler felt somewhat deflated; never in these years since he began serving as the chief butler of the Huang Family had he encountered such a troublesome guest.
As he was lost in thought, suddenly the initially calm lake surface began to ripple, with movements growing more intense, as if something were about to break through the water.
In those moments of bewilderment, a black-clad figure floated quietly on the lake’s surface, face down, utterly still, his exposed skin looking terribly pale.
The butler dared not delay, quickly calling on other hidden experts to help rescue him.
As everyone scrambled to rescue this expert, their hearts without exception felt a deep sense of relief...
