Chapter 874: Too arrogant!

After the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xu Tian stopped and turned to Zhou Lao Si and the Second Elder.

"You two can just send me here. In a while, I'll go up by myself."

"Sir, this mountain road is difficult to walk, and accidents may occur. Let us send you to the entrance of the villa." Zhou Lao Si was worried.

"No need, I'll go up myself." Xu Tian shook his head.

"But..." Zhou Lao Si was very depressed.

They had already arrived here, yet the leader wouldn't let them go up. Then what was the use of them accompanying him?

Was it just to be his driver?

"No need to say more, I'll go up myself." Xu Tian brought Zhou Lao Si and the others along just because he was worried about any accidents along the way.

Now that he had arrived at the territory of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa, naturally there was nothing to worry about.

"Alright then, we'll go back first. Sir, you must be careful in everything!"

Zhou Lao Si and the Second Elder said goodbye to Xu Tian reluctantly.

But the old man who came with them didn't leave.

Members participating in the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa test had to bring a family member or friend to accompany them; this was considered an unwritten rule.

After all, bounty hunters belonged to a high-risk profession, and if things went wrong, they could die in a foreign land.

Therefore, the villa needed to register the family situation of the students to prevent being unable to contact their families if someone died in a mission.

Xu Tian looked at the old man and asked.

"Old man, what is your surname?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..." The old man waved his hands repeatedly. "My surname is Zhang. Sir, if you don't mind, just call me Old Zhang."

"Then I'll call you Uncle Zhang." Xu Tian thought slightly. "By the way, we still have to confirm our identities..."

"How about this: to the outside world, you are my uncle, and I am your nephew. What do you think?"

"No, no... how dare I be your elder, Sir... This won't do..."

"Old Zhang, I think you should also be clear about the rules of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. If you go up with me, you have to impersonate my family. At your age, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to call each other brothers, right?" Xu Tian said.

"I..." Old Zhang didn't dare to call the Wolf King brother, so he waved his hands repeatedly. "I wouldn't dare to call you brother. Then I..."

"Don't worry, it's just a form of address; don't have any psychological burden." Xu Tian patted Old Zhang on the shoulder. "You escort me to Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa to go undercover. After I go back, I will give you a great merit."

"Thank you, Sir..." Old Zhang hesitated for a moment and could only nod.

Immediately after, Xu Tian and Old Zhang walked toward the top of the mountain together.

Along the way, they could see many young people who had come to participate in the enrollment test like Xu Tian. They hadn't walked for long when they heard a voice with a bit of contempt behind them.

"Old Zhang! Isn't that Old Zhang!"

Old Zhang's footsteps paused. He turned to look in the direction behind him, then whispered an explanation to Xu Tian.

"Sir, that person is a high-level member of a family next to our territory."

"Hmm, I know." Xu Tian nodded slightly.

Between their words, that high-level member had already brought two young men and women and caught up.

"Old Zhang, who is this beside you?" The high-level member looked at Xu Tian with eagle-like eyes, with exploration in his eyes.

"This is my nephew." Old Zhang introduced according to Xu Tian's previous instructions.

"Nephew?" The high-level member shrugged somewhat surprised. "You actually have a nephew, but the genes of your Zhang family are not good. The next generation is also as timid as you, unable to be on the stage."

This tone, which was obviously contemptuous and sarcastic, made Old Zhang's face sink. But because he was traveling with Xu Tian and didn't want to cause trouble, he endured it and didn't say much.

But the other party was still relentless: "I say, Old Zhang, you wouldn't be thinking of bringing your nephew to participate in the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa enrollment test, would you? If so, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. With your nephew's qualifications, he is basically cannon fodder. If things go wrong, he will lose his life, and then your Zhang family will have no successors."

"You don't need to worry about my Zhang family's affairs." Old Zhang replied coldly.

"You really don't know what's good for you! I'm doing this for your own good." The high-level member looked proud. "You are mediocre and have no attainments in martial arts. How good can your nephew be?"

"This is Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. The bounty hunters cultivated inside are the elite of the elite. Even if it were easy to pass, rather than being eliminated in the preliminary test and losing face, it's better to leave early."

"Even if he is lucky enough to pass, with his demeanor, he definitely won't be able to complete the mission. If he doesn't make money and loses his life, wouldn't it be a loss that outweighs the gain?"

"By the way, aren't you in the Azure Wolf Hall? Why don't you arrange for him to be a handyman? Although there is no future, at least someone will protect him, and he won't starve to death... Hahahaha..."

The high-level member's laughter was harsh, and the two young people beside him also looked at Xu Tian with sarcasm.

Such a loser with an ugly appearance actually dared to covet entering Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa—why didn't he go look in a mirror!

"People should have self-knowledge. Old Zhang, you had better take care of yourselves." The high-level member proudly introduced the young people beside him. "Look, this is my nephew and niece. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, but their strength is also among the best in the younger generation."

"Hmm, indeed very good." Old Zhang nodded perfunctorily.

"Uncle Zhang." The young man and woman spoke at the same time.

"Hmm, hello." Old Zhang responded.

"Alright, greetings are over. We need to hurry on our way." After the high-level member said this, he took the lead and walked forward with the young man.

The proud young man beside him laughed as he walked: "The world has changed. Any cat or dog dares to come to test for Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. But he is just an ugly loser. Who gave him the confidence to come and lose face?"

"Isn't that so? Did you see his clothes just now? Street stall goods without even a brand. I guess they aren't even worth fifty yuan. And those shoes, I don't know which year's antique they are. Walking on the same road as such a person is really unlucky!" The young woman beside him was also full of disgust.

Moreover, the voices of these two people were very loud, allowing Xu Tian and Old Zhang behind them to hear clearly.

Old Zhang said angrily: "Sir, these people are too arrogant, actually daring to slander you like this!"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Tian didn't care. He had heard enough slander, and what were these two people in front of him?

He was just an ordinary student about to participate in the test now, so there was no need to argue with such people who only knew how to be sarcastic.

"Let's hurry on our way."

"Yes." Old Zhang thought to himself that this Wolf King leader's temper was quite good, and he didn't seem as terrifying as rumored in the outside world.

And from the beginning of their meeting, Xu Tian's attitude had always been gentle and polite, which made Old Zhang, who was very nervous about following the Wolf King on a mission for the first time, gradually relax. ===== CHAPTER 875 =====
