"I didn’t do anything; it was my grandpa who said you might encounter all sorts of disasters lately and told you to be careful," Xiaoqian said, tilting her head.
"So it was that old geezer Xu Kong who did it?" Really feel like killing soone, just not sure if I’m a match for that old man, that’s if I can find him at all.
"My grandpa would never do such a thing! You think my grandpa is as shaless as you, turning into an animal led by his lower half at the sight of won? Let tell you, they’re all deadly beauties, be careful or one day you’ll die from it!"
"I’d be happy to! Just tell , did you really not ss with my affairs these past few days?" Ye Tian still didn’t believe it.
"Believe it or not!" Xiaoqian used so kind of technique, and Ye Tian felt what he had grasped turned into a wisp of green smoke, and then Xiaoqian was standing right in front of him.
Ye Tian was really infuriated to death.
The next day, Ye Tian went out, this ti he honestly took Xiaoqian with him, and as soon as he stepped out, he saw the brat he fought with yesterday.
Standing in the sunlight, the kid didn’t look too bad, his hair wasn’t that garishly colored anymore, and though his face still wore a rebellious look, he also seed to have other emotions, too many for Ye Tian to analyze, but he could be sure that the kid wasn’t there to cause him trouble.
"About yesterday... I was too impulsive," even though it sounded like an apology, Ye Tian couldn’t see an ounce of sincerity.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it, don’t put on that ’I was wrong’ face," Ye Tian cut to the chase without nonsense.
"Can you teach ?"
Is this how one asks for a favor? Ye Tian saw the boy’s neck stiffening awkwardly, clearly indicating that by him asking for instruction was doing Ye Tian a favor.
"Can’t." After speaking, Ye Tian pulled Xiaoqian and walked away.
"What must I do for you to agree to teach ?" The young man blocked Ye Tian’s path.
"With people like you, there’s no shortage of people who would fawn over you, why beg to teach you?"
"What do you do? I can give you money!"
"I’m just a cleaner!" Ye Tian shooed the young man aside like a fly and walked away with Xiaoqian.
In fact, Ye Tian had other plans in mind; he now needed his own strength, the type that truly belonged to him, going solo was no longer suitable. However, finding the right candidate wasn’t so easy.
Yesterday, he spotted this youngster, right, that girl ntioned his na was Tianjiao. After all that’s happened with the Li Family, this kid still didn’t know to lay low, Ye Tian didn’t know if it was the privilege of youth or plain ignorance of the imnsity of heaven and earth.
Li Tianjiao had a certain Five Elents attribute, even though Ye Tian didn’t know which one, he always felt it was closely related to the Gang Qi in his body; he wanted to recruit him, plus his background might be beneficial to him.
Ye Tian admitted that he had learned to gauge the situation better now, but how powerful the opponents he faced were was sothing he still didn’t know, hence, he changed his mind early on, not wanting more sacrifices for his own causes.
Li Tianjiao was oblivious to Ye Tian’s thoughts; he decided not to persist any further. He had been proud for so many years, whatever he wanted, he usually got easily, so he gave up.
Xiaoqian didn’t know what was going on, but simply by watching Ye Tian’s expressions, it was quite interesting. One mont he was full of fighting spirit, the next he was crestfallen, like watching a silent movie.
"That person has a certain Five Elents attribute," Xiaoqian said.
"Yes. But I can’t feel what it is?"
"It’s probably Earth." Xiaoqian looked back just in ti to see Li Tianjiao driving off fast as lightning.
"You can feel it?" Ye Tian was surprised.
"What’s so great about this?" Xiaoqian haughtily pouted.
Under the sun, Xiaoqian’s aura radiated a youthful beauty, and the delicate fuzz on her face shimred like a halo.
"What exactly can you do?" Ye Tian blurted out.
"I can’t do anything!" The answer was straightforward.
Ye Tian really did underestimate Li Tianjiao. Although he had a few carefree days, he later reported in daily, and his attitude greatly improved. And towards Xiaoqian...well, of course, opposite sexes attract, so he was nicer to her than to himself.
Now Xiaoqian no longer clings to Ye Tian because she finds she’s happier with Li Tianjiao. As for Ye Tian, he started acting like a worried middle-aged uncle, concerned about this and that. He’s scared that if anything happens to Xiaoqian, Xu Kong might just kill him outright. Most importantly, without Xiaoqian, his life would be in utter misery.
If he walked near a water truck, he’d get splashed; when he went dining, whatever he craved was unavailable; on the street, he’d bump into people; the most infuriating part was that he still received loads of sissy calls... Ye Tian felt like he was going insane. Isn’t he supposed to be a Truth Listener? Shouldn’t he be able to sense what’s happening around him? Why can’t he feel these damn misfortunes coming?
"Ye Tian, you’ll encounter misfortunes even if you don’t step out of your house!" Xiaoqian said worriedly.
"I refuse to believe that."
"Brother Tian, could you please teach ?" Li Tianjiao’s attitude towards Ye Tian improved imnsely, almost to the point of prostrating himself like in ancient tis.
Ye Tian looked at Li Tianjiao, perplexed by his 180-degree attitude shift, then glanced at Xiaoqian and instantly understood.
It was so obvious; this wasn’t about —it was Xiaoqian he was after, wasn’t it? Ah, the allure of a woman.
"Li, can you endure hardship?" Ye Tian suddenly felt a mischievous urge.
"I can!" Li Tianjiao was fundantally a good person, just like many rebellious teens spoiled due to their parents’ lack of discipline,
But Li Tianjiao hadn’t walked down that path for too long, and he didn’t harbor any malicious intentions, just a bit of childish temperant—essentially, just a grown-up brat.
Ye Tian thought he couldn’t take such a brat down such a perilous path, but being nagged by one every day made his already miserable life even worse.
"Being with is dangerous," Ye Tian said gravely.
"I’m not afraid," thought Li Tianjiao, "What danger could a janitor pose?" He’d secretly followed Ye Tian and seen him enter a building with "Sanitation Group" written at the entrance.
"Xiaoqian, please step outside. I have sothing private to discuss with Li."
"Okay."
"All I am is a janitor, and I only know a little bit of fighting techniques. Why on earth are you pestering ?" Ye Tian asked frowningly. His mood was like a rollercoaster—one mont he wanted to develop his own power, the next he felt it’s wrong to sacrifice other lives for such things. He could never forget the tragedy of his teammates.
"I know, but as soon as they learn who my father is..." Li Tianjiao’s face showed sorrow, "they’d all flatter . No one wants to teach sincerely."
"Why bla others? Aren’t you a man?" Ye Tian despised such second-generation kids, who obviously lacked ambition yet blad everyone else for their failings!
"..." Li Tianjiao looked at Ye Tian rather timidly; his expression was genuinely fierce. He had never seen anyone treat him this way before, and he almost wanted to retreat.
"Your father provided you the opportunity, but you don’t use it. You know why others are unwilling to teach you, but have you thought about what you’d do if you learned?"
What would he do? Li Tianjiao truly hadn’t thought about it. He just felt it was prestigious; everything he did was for prestige, for others to look at him with envy.
