Chapter 244: The Trial Arrives

Chen Xiaoxiao's emotions became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and her volume increased quite a bit.

"Xiaoxiao!"

Gu Beicheng also raised his volume: "You should know what should be said and what shouldn't be said."

"Gu Xiansheng, aren't you angry at all?"

The veins on Chen Xiaoxiao's neck were fully exposed, and she still actively stood up for Gu Beicheng: "And I'm not talking nonsense; which of the things I just said isn't true?"

"Xu Tian is just a slacker and a little hoodlum; how is he worthy of being compared to you?"

"If he really publicly announces later that he is the Tang family son-in-law, that would be the biggest joke, and even the reputation of the entire Tang family would be affected!"

"Gu Xiansheng, I know you have a good temper, but you can't keep indulging this kind of clown to provoke you; the more you retreat, the more he will take advantage."

"You should give him a warning to show who is the man qualified to stand by the Young Lady's side!"

With Chen Xiaoxiao starting, the other captains nodded in agreement.

"Commander Chen is right, Gu Xiansheng, please think of a way; we can't let that pretty boy Xu Tian run wild anymore."

"We Tang family Dark Guards are all one in a thousand, selected for the purpose of protecting Tang Zong's safety and carrying out secret missions, but ever since Xu Tian came, Tang Zong has used us as ordinary bodyguards, letting us escort a pretty boy to the bar for fun. If this gets out, we'll be laughed at by the Dark Guards of other families!"

"And that pretty boy is restless, stimulated at the bar, and beat up Commander Chen and the others. What do we Dark Guards count for to him? Toys to be played with at will?"

"Enough."

Gu Beicheng immediately interrupted them when he saw these people getting more and more excessive: "Bingyan is your family head, you cannot have complaints about her."

Immediately after, he deliberately reminded Chen Xiaoxiao.

"Especially you, Xiaoxiao, I know you were removed from your post by Yanyan and are unconvinced, but there is a very good opportunity right now for you to prove yourself."

"As long as you regain the Commander position in the upcoming trial, I believe Yanyan will still reuse you as before."

"Don't say complaints like the ones just now in the future; if Yanyan really hears them, I'm afraid even I won't be able to plead for you."

"But..." Chen Xiaoxiao was extremely aggrieved.

"There are no buts."

Gu Beicheng didn't give her a chance to argue, his tone firm: "I will always support Bingyan's decision."

The squad captains present saw that even if Gu Beicheng was aggrieved himself, he still wanted to protect Tang Bingyan, and the anger in their hearts toward Xu Tian grew even more intense, but they didn't say anything more in front of Gu Beicheng.

Chen Xiaoxiao, however, looked at Qiao Mu as if she had made up her mind.

"Qiao Mu, you must perform well in the upcoming trial, defeat Bai Lu, and take the position of first squad captain!"

"You have been specially trained by Gu Xiansheng for so long, don't let down my expectations of you."

"That kid Bai Lu has already defected to Xu Tian's side, and I reckon the Dark Guards under him are the same, so we absolutely cannot let him have the chance to buy people's hearts again; we must reorganize the first squad!"

Qiao Mu immediately guaranteed confidently upon hearing this: "Commander Chen, I will definitely defeat Bai Lu; that kid has no real ability."

"Not bad, you have ambition!"

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction. "As for that kid Bai Lu, I will also find a way to drive him out of the Tang family!"

"He really thinks he can step up step by step and replace my position by sucking up to Xu Tian? It's simply wishful thinking!"

"I'm quite curious, what progress you can actually have after being trained by that piece of trash for a few days!"

Just when Chen Xiaoxiao and several Dark Guard captains were having a meeting, Bai Lu and Little Bean Sprout were taking a class in the training field of the Martial Arts Hall.

"Ah!"

"Slap..."

It was less like taking a class and more like the two of them taking turns getting beaten.

In just half an hour, Bai Lu was beaten black and blue, gasping for breath, while Little Bean Sprout was a bit better than him, presumably because Xu Tian showed mercy seeing he was too short.

"Teacher, let's rest for a while, we can't hold on anymore!"

Kicked off the high platform by Xu Tian once again, Bai Lu finally couldn't help but raise the white flag and surrender.

"Is it this exciting just after starting class?"

"You're tired?"

Xu Tian, standing on the high platform, didn't change his expression or pant, and was somewhat puzzled to see Bai Lu and the others sweating profusely: "This is just the end of the warm-up."

Bai Lu & Little Bean Sprout: "..."

They were about to die of exhaustion, and you actually call this a warm-up?

"Teacher Xu, of course we can't compare to you."

Bai Lu ran to the shelf at the door and brought back three bottles of water, throwing one to Xu Tian.

He once again had a profound understanding of Xu Tian's heaven-defying strength.

Such a dialogue was repeated almost every day.

Seeing that they had been taking combat classes with Xu Tian for half a month, they were still "trained" by Xu Tian to a miserable state every time.

Compared to the expressions of these two, who were like frost-bitten eggplants, Xu Tian was in high spirits.

He had recently developed a strong interest in combat techniques, especially after discovering he could defeat Bai Lu without any effort.

Just like a novice driver who had just received a driver's license, he felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't spar with others every day.

It just so happened that Bai Lu and Little Bean Sprout gave him the opportunity.

The original one-hour training every day was extended to three hours by Xu Tian; now, after the morning run, Xu Tian would call the two to the Martial Arts Hall training field and wouldn't let them go back until lunch time.

Of course, although Bai Lu and Little Bean Sprout were still in the stage of being crushed by Xu Tian, they had improved by more than just a little bit compared to when they first started class.

Ten minutes later, Bai Lu finished the whole bottle of water and jumped back onto the high platform.

"I've rested, we can start!"

"Make your move." Xu Tian stood in place calmly with his hands behind his back.

Bai Lu gave a loud shout and rushed over with a punch.

This time he was full of confidence, wanting to last five rounds in Xu Tian's hands.

In fact, whether it was him or Little Bean Sprout, neither of them hoped to beat Xu Tian anymore.

During this period, their goal was to last a few more rounds in Xu Tian's hands, and they had been secretly competing.

Currently, Bai Lu was still better, lasting three rounds during yesterday's class.

Facing Bai Lu's offensive, Xu Tian didn't counterattack, only dodging with his hands behind his back, but suddenly threw a punch at the end of the third round.

With a "bang."

Bai Lu took a solid punch, and his body flew off the high platform.

"Teacher Xu! Can't you show a little mercy!"

He wailed while clutching his face on the ground below the platform.

It seems that wanting to last five rounds is still too early.

Time passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial. ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
