Chapter 1226: How Could You Be So Cruel Like This to Me, Lady Lan?

After stepping into Xiao Tian’s room, they immediately lay on the bed.

Xiao Tian’s bed was huge, so they could lay on his bed together. They did not eat dinner or have sex that night because they fell asleep when they watched a movie in his room.

The following morning, Xiao Tian went to the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters after having breakfast with his women. His underlings asked him many questions when they saw him. 

Xiao Tian always visited them if he did not go on a business trip, so they wanted to know why he did not visit them for several days.

Their eyes were filled with fury when Xiao Tian told them the reason why he did not visit them for several days.

“Mu Hou, Chun Hua, I want you two to investigate the Dragon gang.” Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, “Take a few people with you. Remember, be careful.”

“Understood.” Mu Hou and Chun Hua replied in unison.

Xiao Tian then turned his head towards Ren Aoxu. “Junior brother, how is the progress of your martial arts?”

“I’m still at the low-level master stage.” Ren Aoxu wore a sad face when he answered Xiao Tian’s question.

Xiao Tian tapped Ren Aoxu’s shoulders before speaking, “Don’t worry. I’m sure you will break through to the mid-level master stage soon.”

Xiao Tian had to cheer Ren Aoxu because emotion could affect Ren Aoxu’s training and heart. 

If Ren Aoxu’s heart were filled with negative emotion, it would be tough for him to make progress in martial arts.

“Un.” Ren Aoxu nodded his head.

“Have you mastered the second secret technique?” Ren Aoxu still had not mastered the second secret move before Fu Rou attacked him, so he wanted to know about it.

Ren Aoxu did not answer Xiao Tian’s question, and he wore a sad expression again. Xiao Tian had helped him and provided him with facilities for practice, but he did not give good results.

“Alright. From today onwards, I will guide you in your practice until you master the second secret move.” Xiao Tian had promised to help Ren Aoxu master the second secret technique, so he decided to do that.

Ren Aoxu was his junior brother, so he would try his best to make Ren Aoxu stronger. With this, not only could Ren Aoxu protect himself, but he could keep his promise to Ren Aoxu’s master.

“Really?” Ren Aoxu asked happily.

He made a lot of progress when Xiao Tian helped him in the past. 

That was why he was pleased because he believed that he could master the second secret move much faster with Xiao Tian’s guidance.

“Yes.” Xiao Tian nodded his head. “I have to go to Red Flower bar after this. I will guide you in your practice after finishing my business at Red Flower bar.” 

“Alright.” Like before, Ren Aoxu replied happily.

Xiao Tian then looked at his underlings before finally speaking, “We will attack the Dragon gang in a few days, so I want you all to practice hard. If we can defeat the Dragon gang and become the strongest gang in Shanghai, we will be one step closer to our goal.”

“Ooooo!” his underlings shouted happily.

Xiao Tian then looked at Mizu and spoke, “Mizu, I have important task for you.”

Mizu, who was in control of the Shadow gang, replied, “What is it, leader?”

“I want you to investigate all the mid-sized and big gangs in Jiazu district.” Xiao Tian thought it was better to start conquering the weakest district first. “Investigate all the important martial arts schools as well.”

“Understood.” Mizu replied as he bowed slightly.

After that, Xiao Tian went to Red Flower bar to meet Lan Ruoxi. 

—–

Red Flower Bar, Private Room.

Xiao Tian was currently sitting on the couch alone. Lan Ruoxi discussed important business with her partners, so she could not meet him immediately.

*Five minutes…Ten minutes…Fifteen minutes…

It had been fifteen minutes since Xiao Tian was in the private room, but Lan Ruoxi still had not met him.

‘Sigh! Should I go back now?’

Xiao Tian suddenly wanted to return to his gang because Lan Ruoxi seemed busy.

Rather than waiting for her, he thought it would be better to teach Ren Aoxu the second secret technique since he could meet her later.

*Tak…Tak…Tak…

The sound of high heels slamming against the floor reverberated in the private room.

Xiao Tian instantly turned his head toward the source of the sound.

‘Oh, she is here.’

He smiled softly when he saw Lan Ruoxi.

Lan Ruoxi was wearing a purple cheongsam with a blue folding fan in her right hand. Like Xiao Tian, she also smiled when she saw him.

“Young master Xiao, it has been a while since the last time we met. Did you come to my place because you missed me?” Lan Ruoxi immediately teased Xiao Tian after sitting on the opposite side of him.

“You are right.” Xiao Tian played along with her tease. “Lady Lan, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, but you have gotten prettier again. It makes me want to make you mine even more now.”

Lan Ruoxi knew that Xiao Tian would say something like this, so she was not surprised by his words. “Alright, let’s stop the joke. What brings you to my place?”

“Lady Lan, I haven’t seen you for more than a week, so I want to hang out with you.” Xiao Tian lied to her. “How about we go on a date now?”

At this moment, Lan Ruoxi was sure that Xiao Tian was only joking around. “What brings you to my place?”

The corner of Xiao Tian’s lips twitched when she repeated her question. “Lady Lan, I have answered your question, so why are you asking the same question again?”

“Ah, I see. Then I won’t help you if you need my help.” of course, Lan Ruoxi was not serious when she said this.

“How could you be so cruel like this to me, lady Lan? You were not like this before.” Xiao Tian pretended to be sad.

“Hehe.” Lan Ruoxi’s lips curled up into a smile. “So, what is it?”

Xiao Tian began explaining the reason why he came to her place. He asked whether she knew someone who could make special clothes or not.

What he meant by special clothing was clothing that could protect the wearer much better than ordinary clothes or jackets. 

Xiao Tian wanted these special clothes because it could better protect himself and his underlings.

“You mean clothes like army combat uniforms or anti-weapon clothing?” even though Lan Ruoxi was a little surprised by his words, she did not show it on her pretty face.

“Yes. Something like that.” Xiao Tian responded as he nodded his head. “I need it to protect myself and my underlings. With this, I will get one step closer to one of my goals, creating undefeatable underlings.”

Sure, he knew that he had to spend a lot of money to make special clothes like that, but he was fine with it because his underlings were his important asset.

His underlings were his backer, so the stronger his underlings were, the easier it would be for him to achieve his dream.

That was why he was willing to spend a lot of money for his underlings.

Lan Ruoxi touched her chin. “I think I know someone who can help you in this.”

“Who is it?” Xiao Tian asked with sparkling eyes.
