Block or avoid it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will get hurt if you stay still like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is he only standing like that? Is he scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he still has a calm face. It's impossible for frightened person to have a calm face like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. Just watch it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers were startled when they saw Xiao Tian standing without trying to avoid or block Jin Lan's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I forgot about it. I should not let him fight Jin Lan because he is too weak for my son.\" Xiao Zhan forgot that his son was a candidate to be the Ruler like him, so he knew that Jin Lan was not his son's opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful young master Xiao!\" after saying that, Jin Lan threw out his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his left hand still behind his back, Xiao Tian raised his right arm to block Jin Lan's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blocked Jin Lan's attack with his right index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area turned into a dead silence when they saw him blocking Jin Lan's attack with only one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One finger?! Young master Xiao is blocking Jin Lan's attack with only one finger?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not expect something like this to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Don't tell me…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, one thing appeared in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian was someone who was loved by the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a candidate to be the Ruler!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, our young master is also a candidate to be the Ruler?\" the blue-haired man broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of our master's son, he is sure amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is how it should be.

That was why he admitted defeat right after finding out the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? I thought you would keep fighting me.\" Of course, Xiao Tian knew the reason why Jin Lan immediately admitted defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know my limit, young master Xiao.\" Jin Lan responded, \"May I know what stage are you now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone paid attention to Xiao Tian because he wanted to know the answer too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have mastered the fifth stage.

After all, our young master must be extraordinary person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our young master is genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are wrong. He is not genius, but unparalleled genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, right. He is unparalleled genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know our young master is unparalleled genius from the moment I saw him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first time coming to their hidden base, but he had won their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even did not do anything to achieve it, as if the heavens were helping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhan smiled softly when his subordinates praised his son continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Xueyin, did you hear that? They said our son is unparalleled genius.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head to look at the blue sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah, right. She did not want him to be a martial artist. She wanted him to be a successful businessman.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered his deceased wife's wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But our son is also a genius in business. He is even better than me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was labelled as the God of Wealth in the past because he could turn everything into money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still said his son was better than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant Xiao Tian was also a God of Wealth like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was smiling at his son, one of his subordinates walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Xiao Zhan inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, group A is facing a trouble. They need your help.\" The blue-haired man responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back now. I will be there soon.\" Xiao Zhan uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the blue-haired man left, Xiao Tian returned to Xiao Zhan's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, father?\" Xiao Tian asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Son, I suddenly have an urgent business. I can't accompany you anymore today.\" Xiao Zhan felt sad when he said this because he wanted to continue to be with his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine.\" Xiao Tian could understand his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will talk again tomorrow.\" After saying that, Xiao Zhan ordered Silver Fox to accompany Xiao Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver Fox took Xiao Tian for a walk around their hidden base. After walking for several minutes, they sat on a long chair under a big tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The view in this place is great!\" Xiao Tian was amazed by the view around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. This place is popular because the view in this place is amazing.\" Silver Fox responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, why do you keep wearing a mask?\" he asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All members who are on a mission, wear masks to hide their identities.\" Silver Fox gave an honest answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Even though he was curious about her face, he did not ask her to take off her mask. \"How long have you been my father's subordinate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I was kid.\" Silver Fox answered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Xiao Tian asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T16:28:07.489Z",1,"novelbin.me","f05896b6ecdb2287f59d41fc4a896ef027f99ebc7222bf3a418dbd7f5e97b4f6","illicit-relationship-chapter-1691","illicit-relationship-chapter-1689",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
