Chapter 258 Late Night Party

"This kid is really cunning!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Li Jianming's eyes.

He nodded gently and patted Chu Tian's shoulder: "What a pity, it seems... there is no master-disciple relationship between you and me."

There was a hint of disappointment in Li Jianming's sigh.

"Hehe!"

Chu Tian laughed dryly to himself.

Even though Li Jianming sighed repeatedly at this moment, I'm afraid he won't give up easily!

After all, the inheritance of the first dean Gongsun Tai is too tempting!

Chu Tian will definitely hand over the entire "Illusionary Dream Secret" in person in the future, but definitely not now!

"By the way, there is something I may need your help with!"

Suddenly, Li Jianming spoke in a deep voice.

"Ask me for help?"

Chu Tian was obviously stunned and showed a suspicious look.

Li Jianming is the dean of Tianji College, with a noble status, and is even recognized as the second best player in Wuyan Country. It is said that his strength is second only to the current emperor.

And he himself was just a small half-step spirit vein realm warrior, with limited ability, how could he help Li Jianming!

"This guy probably hasn't given up, and he is probably trying to test me again!"

After a breath, Chu Tian secretly speculated in his heart.

"This favor is very simple for you, that is, to be my disciple for a day and fulfill a promise made ten years ago for me!"

After a few breaths of silence, Li Jianming slowly said.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Tian stared at Li Jianming with puzzled expression on his face.

At the same time, he was secretly alert in his heart.

Li Jianming was smart and could be called a shrewd person, so he had to be on guard.

Li Jianming saw the hidden vigilance in Chu Tian's eyes, and couldn't help but chuckled, and then slowly spoke.

Chu Tian pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

It turned out that ten years ago!

Li Jianming once fought a battle with Xue Yuan, a famous spirit vein realm strongman in Wuyan Country, and Li Jianming defeated his opponent.

Xue Yuan was belligerent and refused to accept the defeat, so the two fought again and Xue Yuan still lost.

Xue Yuan finally realized that he might never be able to defeat Li Jianming in this life.

So the two secretly made an agreement, that is, each of them would spend ten years to train a disciple!

Ten years later, their respective disciples would fight at the agreed time and place, and the winner could get the spoils promised by the loser!

"Dean, do you want me to pretend to be your disciple and fight for you?"

Chu Tian frowned and asked.

"Haha, you can say that!"

Li Jianming smiled bitterly and nodded.

Chu Tian couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this.

Seeing how Li Jianming valued it, Chu Tian could imagine that the disciple Xue Yuan accepted must be a rare genius!

Xue Yuan had cultivated him for ten years, and maybe the other party's current cultivation might have broken through to the spiritual vein realm!

Not long ago, although Chu Tian defeated Xie Linghai, a martial artist who had achieved minor spiritual success, by crossing a major realm, it should be noted that Xie Linghai had just broken through not long ago, and his realm was not yet stable. In addition, Xie Linghai was old and weak, and his strength was obviously not as good as that of young people of the same level.

"What can I get?"

Chu Tian asked directly.

When Li Jianming heard this, he immediately showed his joy: "Haha, no matter whether you win or lose, you can get a mid-level heavenly martial arts!"

"Okay, deal!"

Chu Tian nodded.

Although Chu Tian believed that the mid-level heavenly martial arts mentioned by Li Jianming was what he deserved, after all, Li Jianming had helped him many times before, and now he could take this opportunity to repay all the favors he owed before.

"Take a few days' rest first, and I'll pick you up when the time comes!"

Li Jianming said, and turned to leave.

Chu Tian watched Li Jianming leave, then fell headfirst on the bed and fell asleep.

After a few breaths,

"Sly kid!"

Li Jianming stood in the air, his eyes narrowed, staring at the attic not far away, with a helpless smile on his lips.

Then, he jumped up, turned into a long green rainbow, and rushed away.

...

The Xie family in the capital was gloomy.

Almost every member of the Xie family had a strong look of anger and unwillingness on their faces.

In just one day, the Xie family lost a martial artist in the spirit vein realm and six martial artists in the half-step spirit vein realm. The loss was extremely huge!

The most important thing is that these martial artists lost by the Xie family were directly killed by Chu Tian in front of everyone!

After this battle, the Xie family not only suffered huge losses, but also lost its dignity and influence.

Among the many nobles in the capital, the Xie family even became a joke!

In the family ancestral hall.

Xie Linghai's body lay quietly on the ground, covered with a layer of white cloth.

Xie Lingxi and another elder of the Xie family in the Spiritual Vein Realm stood near the corpse, their gloomy faces full of murderous intent.

"Lingyun, go out later and secretly invite the clan leaders of the major nobles in the city who have a good relationship with my Xie family to gather in the family secret room tonight!"

After a few breaths, Xie Lingxi looked at the person next to him and said in a deep voice.

The elder of the Spiritual Vein Realm named Xie Lingyun frowned and replied in a low voice: "After this incident, the strength of my Xie family has been greatly damaged. I am afraid that some people may not come!"

"It doesn't matter, as many as can come, as many as can be!"

Xie Lingxi said.

Xie Lingyun nodded and turned to leave.

Time passed and night gradually fell.

Late at night, there were dark clouds in the sky, drifting with the wind, blocking the bright moonlight from time to time.

In an underground secret room deep in the Xie Mansion.

Several moonstones inlaid on the walls emitted bursts of white light, and the entire secret room was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.

Xie Lingxi and Xie Lingyun were sitting on the main seats. There were also some people sitting on the seats on the left and right sides, but there were still many empty chairs that no one was taking.

"Clan Chief Xie, you secretly summoned everyone to have a late-night gathering. What's going on?"

One person spoke in confusion.

"Now is an extraordinary period. The spies sent by the royal family are very active. It is best to have as few gatherings as possible!"

Another person spoke, with a hint of worry in his words.

"Yes, if the royal family discovers it, I'm afraid the Xie family will be in trouble. You must know that the Xie family's current strength is obviously not as good as before, and we don't want to be implicated."

An old man with short hair took the opportunity to speak coldly, seemingly disdainfully.

"Haha, Patriarch Zheng is overly worried. Although the strength of my Xie family has temporarily declined, it will not take long, at most three months, to fully recover, even beyond what it was before!"

Xie Lingxi smiled confidently.

"Oh?" The short-haired old man frowned, his face full of suspicion, and then he smiled disdainfully, "Haha, within three months, the Xie family has completely recovered its strength, even beyond before. How is this possible? Patriarch Xie is trying to kill all of us. Are you an idiot?"

Bang bang!

Hearing the other party's sarcasm, Xie Lingxi was not angry, smiled slightly, and patted her hands lightly.

After a breath, a vague figure stepped out of the darkness.

After everyone present saw this blurry figure, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they all stood up immediately.
