I'm not stupid; how could I not see it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan laughed, reached out and touched Su Yi's head amusedly, and teased: \"You little rascal! You're so smart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! Zhang Liao's martial arts talent is indeed very good; at only 15, he already has the cultivation of the peak of Dark Strength, and the chance of reaching Gang Strength in the future is very high;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also has quite a bit of insight into military strategy and formations; if cultivated well in the future, he will be a great general or even a commander;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, your elder brother's current status is too low, and there is no possibility of recruiting him for the time being; I can only wait for the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi nodded like a little adult: \"Understood!

You have confidence in me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan laughed happily and touched Su Yi's head twice more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He messed up his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi rolled his eyes at Su Xuan indignantly, moved away, and kept some distance from Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next 2 days, Su Xuan wandered around Ma Yi City under the personal guidance of Zhang Liao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they interacted and chatted more, both sides became familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Zhang Liao understood Su Xuan, the more he admired and became curious about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that Su Xuan was proficient in both literature and martial arts, and had unique insights into military strategy, government affairs, and the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Brother Su Boyuan, do you think the Taiping Dao is going to rebel? Is your purchase of warhorses also in preparation for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation, when the topic of the Taiping Dao was brought up, Zhang Liao's expression tightened, and combined with Su Xuan's behavior of purchasing a large number of warhorses, he immediately speculated and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan smiled lightly upon hearing this: \"This is your own speculation; I didn't say anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, mmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liao nodded knowingly; although Su Xuan said so, he had already remembered this favor from Su Xuan in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father wants me to bring glory to our family; perhaps this is a very good opportunity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liao thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he still needed to think carefully about how to do it and how to prepare, and by the way, ask for his father's opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to visiting Ma Yi City, Su Xuan had also sparred with Zhang Liao in martial arts these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were Dark Strength martial artists; although Zhang Liao was at the peak of Dark Strength, he had never won against Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, his realm was higher than Su Xuan's, but in terms of the application of Dark Strength and proficiency in martial arts, he couldn't catch up to Su Xuan even with a whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang, clang, clang!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You sparred with Zhang Liao, observed his spear technique, and gained a lot.
