Chapter 869 - Lian Xun

As Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi were talking, the elder was shocked by their words.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

'What?! Young lady? Little guy?'

The elder found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

Lan Ruoxi was much older than Xiao Tian, but Xiao Tian still called her young lady. It was as if Xiao Tian saw Lan Ruoxi as a teenager.

Sure, Lan Ruoxi was still young, but from her appearance, anyone could tell that she was a mature lady, not a young lady.

And not only Xiao Tian but the way Lan Ruoxi addressed Xiao Tian was also weird. She called Xiao Tian by the nickname little guy.

It was as if Xiao Tian was someone less than twelve years old. And what made him confused was that Lan Ruoxi and Xiao Tian were fine with the nickname.

'What is this? Do they have a close relationship?'

The elder suddenly wanted to know the relationship between Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi.

'And what did he say earlier? Anger aura? Can he feel it?'

The elder intentionally emitted an aura of anger before.

'Wait! Could he really feel my aura earlier? Or was it just a coincidence?'

The elder knew that only a martial artist who had gained insight about battle instinct could sense the aura from another person's body.

And in order to gain insight about battle instinct, they had to be at least a martial artist at the grandmaster stage.

However, the elder knew that there was no way Xiao Tian was a martial artist at the grandmaster stage because he was still very young.

The elder was sure that Xiao Tian was still at the master stage. But he had no idea whether Xiao Tian was at the low, mid, or high level.

'Don't tell me.'

The elder suddenly recalled something important. Yes. He remembered that some martial artists gained insight about battle instinct when they were still at the master stage.

And they were all called candidates for Ruler. Even if they didn't end up as the Ruler, they would become extremely powerful martial artists.

However, the elder still found out about it. When Lan Ruoxi assured Xiao Tian that nothing bad would happen to her, he decided to return to the elder's home.

"It seems like he is worried about you." the elder uttered,

"Well, we've known each other for about two years so we're pretty close." Lan Ruoxi gave an honest answer.

"Pretty close, huh?" the elder was not surprised by Lan Ruoxi's words because he could tell from Xiao Tian's behavior that Lan Ruoxi was important to Xiao Tian.

Currently, Lan Ruoxi and the elder were in front of the waterfall.

The elder then turned around and spoke, "You, ungrateful disciple! So, you finally remember your master after ten years?!"

Lan Ruoxi instantly cupped her hands and answered, "Master, please forgive me. I have a reason why I haven't visited you for the past five years."

Yes, the elder who was standing in front of Lan Ruoxi was none other than her master. His name was Lian Xun.

"A reason? What is it?" Lian Xun inquired, "Don't tell me. It's because you don't want to see my old face anymore."

"I'm sorry, master. I can't tell you the reason." Lan Ruoxi answered.

"Sigh." Lian Xun could only sigh. "Now let me ask a different question. Why are you friends with him?"

"Him? Do you mean, young master Xiao?" Lan Ruoxi inquired.

"Yes." Lian Xun actually knew who Xiao Tian was. "You know that he is the abandoned child, right?"

"I know." Of course, Lan Ruoxi knew about it.

"If you know about it, then why are you still friends with him? You know how dangerous it is to be his friend, right?" Lian Xun wanted to know the reason why Lan Ruoxi was still friends with Xiao Tian.

"Master, I will be honest with you." Lan Ruoxi spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "The reason why I decided to be friends with him is that I hope he can help my parents later."

Lian Xun could only sigh again after hearing her words. Of course, he knew what had happened to her parents.

"What is so special about him?" Lian Xun inquired.

"He reached mid-level master stage in just two years." Lan Ruoxi stated.

"Two years?!" her words much surprised Lian Xun

"And there's one more thing that makes him special." Lan Rouoxi uttered,

"What is it?" Lian Xun asked again.

"He gained insight about battle instinct when he was still at the mid-level master stage." Like before, Lan Ruoxi told him the truth.

"What?" Lian Xun was surprised again.
