Chapter 928
Any high-level bounty hunter who understood the bounty task market understood the gold content of these two tasks of Xu Tian.
Gong Changming looked at Xu Tian with a gloomy gaze; this kid actually made him lose face in public and even compared his disciple to him!
Hu Xiaofeng noticed the change in Gong Changming's face, gritted his teeth in unwillingness, and immediately walked up to Xu Tian with big strides, saying coldly.
"Junior, don't look at how ordinary you look, but you do have some skills. I'm very curious about your true strength, please give me some pointers!"
A high-level bounty hunter challenging a fourth-level newcomer.
This was clearly a provocation.
The crowd around showed expressions of watching a good show, but Qiao Yuqing took the initiative to stand out and block in front of Xu Tian.
"He is still a newcomer and has no experience; I'll fight you!"
Xu Tian looked at the woman blocking in front of him, his eyes warming up.
Although this Qiao Yuqing was usually more indifferent, she was also sincerely protecting her fellow disciples.
"You are Hu Xiaofeng?" Xu Tian didn't agree to the other party's request, nor did he directly refuse.
"It is I!" He didn't intend to give up, but instead said to Xu Tian provocatively, "What kind of skill is it to hide behind a woman? Why, are you afraid to compete with me?"
"You, a special-level bounty hunter, taking the initiative to challenge a fourth-level bounty hunter who has just entered the industry? You really aren't afraid of losing face for your master's sect, or is it that..."
Xu Tian's gaze paused, landing on Gong Changming, who had a gloomy face not far away, and said loudly.
"Are all the people in your sect this shameless?"
As soon as Xu Tian finished speaking, many high-level bounty hunters around burst into laughter.
A special-level bounty hunter taking the initiative to challenge a fourth-level newcomer was indeed quite shameless.
"You..." Hu Xiaofeng's face was extremely ugly, and he almost squeezed a few words out of his teeth, "I'm just seeing that you have no experience and want to give you some pointers. Don't be ungrateful!"
"Oh? Then should I thank you?" Xu Tian sneered. "My master is Elder Su, a high-level official of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. Who do you think you are to teach me?"
"As a newcomer, it's best to be cautious in your words and actions, otherwise it's easy to bring disaster upon yourself," Hu Xiaofeng forcibly suppressed his anger.
"I've just brought it upon myself," Xu Tian yawned indifferently.
"Originally, handing in tasks was a happy thing, but I ended up meeting something that doesn't understand human language and insists on dragging me to a duel. How unlucky."
"Kid, you are too arrogant!" Gong Changming pressed on Hu Xiaofeng's shoulder, pressing him down, his gaze scanning Xu Tian like a poisonous snake.
"My disciple is not for you to teach," Elder Su also stepped forward, confronting Gong Changming, "At least he is open and honest, and won't be thick-skinned enough to bully the small with the big."
"Master, being thick-skinned is their specialty, so should we learn it too?" Xu Tian pretended to be ignorant and asked suspiciously.
"That's not necessary," Elder Su pondered for a moment and actually answered seriously, "You can't learn their skill."
"Oh, since I can't learn it, then I won't learn it. Anyway, I won't need it."
Others nearby saw Elder Su and Xu Tian, master and disciple, singing in harmony, wanting to laugh but not daring to, their faces twisted.
They didn't dare to offend Gong Changming openly.
However, many fourth-level bounty hunters were also clicking their tongues because of Xu Tian's behavior. A newcomer who had just entered the villa dared to be so arrogant; if it weren't for Elder Su, he would probably be a corpse by now.
"Don't know what's good for you!" Gong Changming was usually high and mighty, and others had always been subservient to him; no one had ever dared to be so rude. He flashed to Xu Tian's front in an instant, and the aura around him became wild and ferocious.
And at the same time, Elder Su stepped aside and just happened to block beside Xu Tian. The auras released by the two elders collided, causing undercurrents to surge across the entire square, with a strong sense of dark clouds pressing down on the city.
"Gong Changming, Xu Tian is my disciple. If you dare to touch a hair on his head, I will kill all the disciples under your sect. I mean what I say!" Elder Su's voice was gloomy. "Go back and warn those disciples of yours; from this moment on, if anything happens to my disciple, they will be the first to die!"
"Presumptuous!" Gong Changming twisted his eyebrows and glared at Elder Su, "Let's see who dares!"
"If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and do it," Elder Su sneered, not retreating half a step.
"Alright, everyone is from Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa, what can't be said nicely?" A high-level official stood out to mediate. "If you keep making such a scene, you'll alarm the Tang family's mountain villa Master."
"Let's go."
(Continued from above)
Gong Changming glared at Elder Su unconvinced, then his gaze, like a poisonous snake, fell on Xu Tian again, finally snorted coldly, turned around, and took Hu Xiaofeng and others away.
Hu Xiaofeng walked two steps, turned his head to look at Xu Tian, and said loudly.
"Xu Tian, in a few days, it will be the villa's internal martial arts competition. I will come to challenge you again then."
Xu Tian shrugged indifferently, his expression as relaxed as ever, seemingly not taking his words to heart.
After Gong Changming, Hu Xiaofeng, and others left, other high-level officials who heard the news also left the square one after another.
Wu Wannian ran to Xu Tian with a nod and a bow.
"Hahaha, I made a mistake. I saw you weren't in the villa and mistakenly thought you fled privately. Who would have thought you went out to complete a task? This is all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, everyone is happy! I'll go explain it clearly to the people from the Inspection Department!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Xu Tian a chance to speak, and immediately pulled his nephew Wu Qiankun and ran away as if fleeing.
Xu Tian didn't take these two clowns to heart. He completed the task verification at the verification office and accumulated the corresponding experience points.
"Xu Tian, come with me." Elder Su didn't leave. After Xu Tian verified the task, he waved to him not far away.
"Master." Xu Tian thought that this old man was his mentor, and couldn't help but feel a bit emotional about the magic of fate.
Afterwards, Xu Tian followed Elder Su back to his villa.
Elder Su led him into the living room and said seriously.
"Xu Tian, you are very talented in martial arts, but you don't need to participate in the martial arts competition in two days. I will refuse for you. The disciples under Gong Changming will definitely take this opportunity to retaliate against you. If you don't participate, they won't have a chance."
"Yes, Master."
Xu Tian nodded in agreement.
"Next, I want to teach you a set of techniques. You must study it well," Elder Su said with his hands behind his back. "When your senior brother Mufeng learned this set of techniques, it took him half a year to become familiar with it. As for you... I hope you will be diligent, study and practice seriously, and try to understand it within two years."
Xu Tian's mouth twitched when he heard this. He had only used half a year to learn this set of techniques before. Now learning it again, even without his previous memories, it wouldn't take two years.
