Just now, the young masters of these two top noble families were so arrogant, as if this place was their family's backyard.
But now, they have all been made sullen and withdrawn by Xu Hao.
Actually, Qi Qingfeng himself was a bit confused until now. The person he was following turned out to be the incredibly powerful Xu Hao.
The na Xu Hao was already very well-known to him; he was a decisively ferocious strongman, and his title as the King of Assassins was not unjustified.
Now, Qi Qingfeng was instead thankful that he was following Xu Hao. With Xu Hao's strength, he surely wouldn't lose to people from these two top-tier families.
Zu Zizhan suddenly turned his head to look at ng Xiangwen, snorting coldly, "The ngzi Family people are indeed cunning. No wonder you didn't directly show your stance or make a move against Xu Hao earlier. You probably knew it was him from the mont he entered the blockade line, but you never said anything, just to set up us two families, right?"
ng Xiangwen slightly shook his head and said, "You've wronged on this, I didn't know he was Xu Hao. I just felt this person wasn't easy to deal with. I'm such a timid person, why would I take a risk? So I just gave up on dealing with him. At that ti, I even kindly reminded you, but unfortunately, you all ignored my advice. There was nothing I could do."
ng Xiangwen would never admit that he had known it was Xu Hao all along; otherwise, there would be huge trouble. He didn't want to make enemies with Xu Hao, nor did he want people to think he was in cahoots with him.
This is precisely the Doctrine of the an from Confucius and ncius.
"Hmph! Don't mind him, the ngzi Family people all like to take the middle road." Bai Zhan snorted coldly.
Xu Hao urged, "Zu Zizhan, surely you're not thinking of breaking your promise, are you? Doesn't the promise of the eldest young master of the Zu Family count for anything?"
"Of course it counts!"
With eyes full of resentnt, Zu Zizhan knelt down in front of Xu Hao and, after shouting "Master!" quickly stood up again.
Everyone was full of astonishnt, Zu Zizhan actually did it.
Xu Hao laughed, "Not bad, not bad. Co, co, co, since you called Master, I should give you a little gift..."
Xu Hao rummaged a bit and took off the bracelet on his hand.
Zu Zizhan's eyes instantly lit up with scorching excitent, and Bai Zhan directly said, "The Tang Sect's treasure, the bracelet of a thousand changes and myriad transformations—this is a treasure! If Xu Hao gives this to you, then your kneeling was worth it."
To kneel and receive a treasure, Bai Zhan wanted to kneel down as well.
Hearing Bai Zhan say this, Xu Hao laughed, "Bai Zhan, if you kneel once, I'll give you this Fourth-grade Lower-tier Talisman."
Seeing the talisman in Xu Hao's hand, Bai Zhan's heart instantly blazed with desire.
If kneeling could really get him a Fourth-grade Lower-Tier Talisman, then he'd be profiting!
Although they were heirs of top-tier families, the larger the family, the more they understood the importance of being vigilant in peace, and the stricter they were in controlling resources.
If they could obtain such treasures for nothing, temporarily losing a bit of dignity wouldn't be a big deal, would it?
Even though a man kneels before no gold, in these tis of scarce cultivation resources, what does a bit of humiliation matter?
Back in the day, even Han Xin suffered the humiliation of crawling between people's legs but later beca a powerful commander, didn't he?
Bai Zhan's heart beca instantly resolute, and he directly said, "Fine, I'll kneel and call you Master, and you'll give that Fourth-grade Lower-tier Talisman!"
"As it should be!" Xu Hao smiled softly.
"Thud!"
Bai Zhan knelt down for a mont and then quickly got up.
Xu Hao as promised gave the two items to the two, and they were both imnsely delighted.
ng Xiangwen and the others were sowhat surprised that Xu Hao actually gave them the items—wasn't he nurturing his own enemies this way?
But in the next mont, Xu Hao smiled and said, "Now that I've given each of you a gift, shouldn't you two also give sothing in return?"
Bai Zhan and Zu Zizhan exchanged a glance, each took out a Second-Level magic artifact from their pockets, and said to Xu Hao, "This is our gift to you; we are poor and of course cannot be as generous as you."
"Oh? The items I just gave you are quite valuable, aren't they? Now, you two are no longer so poor. When it's ti to show respect to a senior, isn't it expected to offer your best treasures? I understand the love for the young, but don't you two understand respecting the elderly?" Xu Hao said blandly.
ng Xiangwen imdiately chuckled, "I was wondering why sothing felt off, Xu Hao isn't the kind of generous person to his enemies; how could he possibly nurture his own enemies? It turns out you were just toying with them all along!"
"Xu Hao, how shaless of you!" Bai Zhan imdiately roared in anger.
"What? Are you not planning to pay respect to the elder? Then I will have to take action myself." Xu Hao slowly drew the Fengyi Sword.
Seeing the Fengyi Sword in Xu Hao's hand, Zu Zizhan snorted coldly, "What is your relationship with the Tuoba Family? Why is their Ancestral Sword in your hand? Did you steal it?"
