"I forgot to tell you that young master Xiao also gained insight about battle instinct yesterday." Lan Ruoxi spoke normally as if gaining battle instinct was an easy thing.


    "So this is the reason why you said Xiao Tian would not lose the fight earlier?" Zhao Chen suddenly remembered Lan Ruoxi''s words. "Did he gain insight about battle instinct when he broke through to the mid-level master stage?"


    "Yes." Lan Ruoxi gave an honest answer.


    "I didn''t expect him to gain insight about battle instinct as well." Zhao Chen thought Xiao Tian only broke through to the mid-level master stage, but he was wrong.


    "Me too." Lan Ruoxi uttered, "I was also startled when I saw it yesterday."


    Now the fight between Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng was equal again. None of them had the upper hand.


    Zhao Sheng was shocked when Xiao Tian suddenly could fight him equally. Because he was in the battle instinct mode, he was sure that Xiao Tian had gained insight about battle instinct too.


    Even though he could not defeat Xiao Tian, he was pleased because, with this, he had a rival again.


    Previously, he thought Xiao Tian would not be his opponent anymore because he had gained insight about battle instinct. He didn''t expect that Xiao Tian would gain insight too.


    "Alright. Let''s stop now." because Zhao Sheng knew that none of them would win the fight, he decided to stop.


    Because Zhao Sheng said so, Xiao Tian instantly stopped attacking Zhao Sheng.


    At this moment, Zhao Xun wore a displeased expression


    ''He is also a candidate to be a Ruler.''


    Zhao Xun clenched his left hand.


    When Zhao Sheng gained insight about battle instinct, he was thrilled because, with this, there was a high possibility that Zhao Sheng would be the Ruler.


    If Zhao Sheng had managed to achieve that, the Zhao family would have regained their former glory when Zhao Zhi was still alive.


    Now that he knew that Xiao Tian also had a high possibility to be the Ruler, he suddenly felt uneasy.


    Sure, Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng were friends, but still, it was something more important than friends because it was rted to the future of the Zhao family.


    Zhao Sheng walked towards Xiao Tian before speaking, "Damn it! I thought I was stronger than you earlier. I didn''t expect you to gain insight about battle instinct too. As expected of my friend, we are indeed meant to be friends. Haha."


    At this moment, Xiao Tian was pleased.


    ''So, that feeling is called battle instinct. That means I also used battle instinct when I was dodging the arrows yesterday.''


    Xiao Tian suddenly remembered the time when he was trying to break through to the mid-level master stage.


    ''I have to remember that feeling and master it. It will help me greatly in a fightter.''


    Xiao Tian realized that he still hadn''t mastered battle instinct and could only use it for seven seconds, so it was almost useless to use it against an opponent who was much stronger than him because it was impossible to defeat them in seven seconds. At most, he could only injury them.


    ''Hmmf?''


    Xiao Tian instantly turned his head towards Zhao Xun.


    At this moment, Zhao Xun forgot to control himself, and as a result, an angry aura came out of his body.


    Not only Xiao Tian, who was looking at Zhao Xun, but Lan Ruoxi, Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Chen were also staring at him.


    "Father, don''t you dare have bad intentions towards Xiao Tian. He''s my friend, so I won''t forgive you if you do something bad to him." Zhao Sheng had a bad rtionship with his father, so he defended Xiao Tian.


    "Zhao Xun!" Zhao Chen could understand why Zhao Xun suddenly had an aura of anger.


    But releasing that aura in front of his grandson was a bad choice because he knew how close Zhao Sheng was to Xiao Tian.


    *Huis…


    An aura of anger instantly disappeared from Zhao Xun''s body.


    However, he didn''t apologize and only turned his head to the other side. Of course, he knew that his behavior was rude, but he didn''t show the slightest care about it because he did it for the sake of the Zhao family.


    At this moment, Xiao Tian''s smartphone suddenly rang. This made Xiao Tian happy. Since he didn''t want to be rude to Zhao Chen, Xiao Tian spoke, "Excuse me, Elder Zhao, I want to pick up the phone first."


    "Alright." Zhao Chen responded.


    "Liang Jun, what''s wrong?" Xiao Tian asked after picking up the phone.


    "Sir, there are some documents that require your signature quickly. Can you sign it today?" Liang Jun went straight to the point.


    "I will go to thepany now." the reason why he decided to go to the Eternal Beautypany immediately was that he didn''t want to be around Zhao Xun for a long time.


    So, he was going to use this excuse to leave the Zhao family home quickly. Of course, he was furious when he found out that Zhao Xun had bad intentions towards him earlier, but he could not do anything about it and could only treat it like nothing happened.


    Zhao Sheng was his best friend, and Zhao Sheng had helped him many times, so he could not be angry at Zhao Xun because he didn''t want to ruin his friendship with Zhao Sheng.


    "Alright. I will prepare the documents now." Actually, Liang Jun was startled by Xiao Tian''s words.


    He knew that his boss was a busy person because he knew who Xiao Tian was. Not only did he own twopanies and one restaurant, but he was also a gang leader, so he had many things to do every day.


    After hanging up the phone, Xiao Tian walked towards Zhao Chen. "Elder Zhao, my subordinate informed me that there are some documents that require my signature right now, so I can''t stay longer."


    "Oh! What a pity." Zhao Chen responded. "Earlier, I wanted to have lunch with you, but since you''re busy, we''ll do that another time."


    "Eh! You want to leave now?" Zhao Sheng was sad after hearing Xiao Tian''s words because he still wanted to hang out with Xiao Tian.


    "Yes." Xiao Tian responded as he nodded his head. "Let''s hang out tomorrow."


    "Good." Zhao Sheng spoke, "Let''s meet at big sister Ruoxi''s ce tomorrow."


    "All right." Xiao Tian responded.


    Because Xiao Tian wanted to leave, Lan Ruoxi immediately spoke, "Elder Zhao, I have to go back too. There is something I have to do."


    "Eh! You too, big sister Ruoxi?" Zhao Sheng became even sadder when he found out that Lan Ruoxi also wanted to leave. "Can''t you stay here a little longer?"


    "Brat, she is a busy person, not like you." after saying that, Zhao Chen turned his head towards Lan Ruoxi. "Alright."


    After that, Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi left.


    -----


    "Sir, these are the documents that require your signature." Liang Jun said after cing the documents on Xiao Tian''s desk.


    "Good job, Liang Jun. You really helped me earlier." Xiao Tian responded.


    Liang Jun had no idea as to why Xiao Tian suddenly said something like that. He remembered that he didn''t do anything earlier. "A..ah. Thank you, sir."


    After Xiao Tian finished his work, heid down on the couch.


    ''Just who paid the assassin to kill me?''
