Zhuang Huayang is a middle-aged widowed man. His son is the chief of staff of a major group army in the northern war zone, with the rank of major general. His daughter-in-law also works in the military system and is a major in the General Logistics Department. She is out in the field all year round, so the villa located in the center of the Sky Academy is, on weekdays,
Zhuang Huayang is alone most of the time, except for his granddaughter Qin Ke, who also works at Sky Academy, who occasionally comes to stay for a few days.
Therefore, the old man concentrated all his residence and office space in the villa, and this became the place where several staff members who served Zhuang Huayang worked.
There are two secretaries, an assistant, a driver and a chef, two strict housekeeping staff and a gardener. Although there are not many people, at least there is some life in the huge villa, so that the elderly will not be overwhelmed.
Zhuang Huayang was too lonely and lonely.
It was the first time for Li Tianlan to come to this villa in Zhuang Huayang.
Looking at the flowers and bamboo forests around the villa that had nothing to do with Iron Blood's strength, he couldn't help but smile and said softly: "The principal is in such a good mood."
"As I get older, I don't like to fight and kill, and my children are not around me. Apart from dealing with official duties every day, I only have these flowers, plants and fish to keep me company."
Zhuang Huayang passed by the pool and pointed into the pool. The drizzle fell from high altitude into the pool, causing ripples and spreading throughout the pool. Large fishes surged in the wrinkled water, clear and blurry, and the artistic conception was extraordinary.
Li Tianlan took a look at the fish swimming in the pond with great interest. The fish were brightly colored and moved gracefully. Some of them were large, and they were indeed worthy of the word "fat". He touched his chin and said casually: "Principal,
Is this thing edible? Can I add another dish for you tonight? I’m good at cooking fish."
"Even if you can eat them, you can't catch them. If you know that Teacher Qin will fight you to the death, these are her treasures. If I forget to feed them, they will ignore me for several days."
Zhuang Huayang smiled angrily, passing by the pool and entering the villa first.
Teacher Qin?
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, remembering the cold face of Qin Ke, deputy director of the Education Department, and shook his head slightly. He didn't expect that iceberg beauty to have such a soft mind.
The two entered the villa one after another and went straight to the third floor. Zhuang Huayang entered a spacious but extremely simple office. He looked at the time and said calmly: "There is a lounge here, which is where I usually meditate. I promise
No one will disturb you, you can recover from your injuries there, and you can come here if you need a breakthrough in the future."
Li Tianlan hummed and opened the box in his hand. In the box, the entire set of immortality potions was still activated. The purple liquid was surging slightly in the container. There were about two hours before it could be taken.
Li Tianlan closed the box and waited quietly. To a certain extent, his path to invincibility was now contained inside the box in front of him.
"Do you want to meditate to adjust your state first?"
Zhuang Huayang asked.
Li Tianlan shook his head, said no, and suddenly said: "Have you made an appointment?"
Zhuang Huayang nodded, but before he could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The old principal was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "Come in."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Ke, the deputy director of the Teaching Office of Sky Academy, walked into the office. Following her, there was a shadow.
Erratic, silent, forbearing.
This is the second time Li Tianlan has seen Jie, who is now the number one assassin in Central Continent, and even the number one assassin in the Dark World.
But even though he knew his identity and strength, Li Tianlan couldn't help but fall on Qin Ke at first sight.
It's not because Qin Ke is too beautiful. In terms of appearance, the mature and indifferent Director Qin is naturally the best choice. But after Qin Weibai, it is difficult for Li Tianlan to be surprised by her pure appearance. The first time he falls on her,
It's entirely because the existence of tribulation is too easy to be ignored.
He is obviously the top assassin and killer, and the most dangerous source. Everyone can feel the danger and sharpness under his silent surface, but they just can't notice him.
This feeling was absurd and weird, and the instinctive danger stimulated Li Tianlan's skin, and even made his hair stand on end for a while.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, stood up and called Teacher Qin. He looked at Jie and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call him.
Situ Cangyue's sister is her father's student, and Situ Cangyue was her father's confidante back then.
Just these three people, the seniority is a little confused. Looking at Jie now, Li Tianlan just feels that it is inappropriate to call him anything.
Uncle? Or brother?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and finally he said in a dry tone: "Hello, teacher."
"Master Li said back then that he was taking a disciple on behalf of his master, which can be regarded as taking on a disciple on behalf of his father. So he always asked me to call him senior brother. Back then, I was not qualified to call him senior brother, but now I ask you to call me senior uncle.
It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
Li Tianlan was slightly stunned. The Master Li Jie was talking about was naturally his father. If his father accepted apprentices as his master, then based on seniority, Jie could be said to be the student of his grandfather Li Honghe. In this way, seniority is logical.
He nodded, bowed slightly to Jie, and said in a respectful tone, "Uncle."
"You're good."
Jie still wore a mask. The silver mask covered his entire face, but his silent eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance. He took a deep look at Li Tianlan and continued: "Master Li, you can rest in peace."
Close your eyes?
Li Tianlan straightened up slightly, shook his head, and said calmly: "The great revenge has not been avenged, and I have been wronged. How can I rest in peace?"
Even though Qin Ke, who had already learned Li Tianlan's identity from his grandfather, was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart when he heard Li Tianlan's calm but sharp words.
How can you rest in peace if you have not avenged your great revenge and suffered injustice?
This may seem like a simple sentence, but no matter whether it succeeds or fails in the future, the Central Continent Special Warfare System is destined to experience a bloody storm.
"When you grow up, you will have revenge and redress grievances."
Jie's tone was calm and hoarse. He bowed slightly to Li Tianlan and expressed his attitude in the clearest way for the first time: "Sighing City will become the sharpest weapon in the hands of the young city lord, but if you ask for something, you will get it.
.”
This is the second time Li Tianlan has heard similar words. The first time was in the Dongcheng family.
His heart beat fiercely, his blood surged, and his face even turned red.
Perhaps his father never thought that in the years after his death, the students he once taught would grow into the sharpest and most mysterious assassins in the dark world, nor did he think that his confidante would become the city of sighs famous in the dark world.
City Lord.
And all of this will be his help in the future.
"Thanks."
Li Tianlan spoke softly, with a calm tone that was firm enough to penetrate stone: "This day will not be too far away."
Zhuang Huayang and Qin Ke, who watched all this with their own eyes, had complicated expressions in their eyes.
In the entire office, perhaps he was the only one who knew what he was witnessing at this moment.
In the office of the principal of Sky Academy, the two men bowed to each other this time, which represented the first transfer of power in the City of Sighs. It also proved that after many years of indifference to the world, the City of Sighs entered the city for the first time.
Middle-earth is full of ups and downs, swords and intrigues.
The trend is roaring forward.
Zhuang Huayang was honored to witness all this with his own eyes, and felt as if he was as small as an ant in front of the general trend.
Qin Ke, another bystander, obviously didn't feel this way. The moment Jie bent down slightly, the deputy director of the Teaching Office of Sky Academy subconsciously wanted to step forward and help him, but Zhuang Huayang cruelly stopped him.
After giving him a fierce glare, she stood there unwillingly. Although she didn't move, her eyes looking at Li Tianlan were once again full of anger.
Entering the realm of thunder at the age of thirty-one.
Qin Ke can be said to be a famous genius in the entire Central Continent special warfare system. Ever since she came into contact with martial arts, the person she admired the most was the invincible strongman Situ Cangyue, who was also a woman.
But what she admires most is not the Sword Emperor and God of War of Central Continent.
But calamity!
This is not a surprising thing. There are countless assassins and killers in the entire dark world who have the same idea as Qin Ke.
The Sword King is truly invincible.
The God of War is indeed powerful.
But for countless killers and assassins, Zed is the true faith and the pioneer.
At the age of twenty-six, he reached the Thunderous Killing Realm. Since then, he has been making great progress, trying to go straight from the Qi Control Realm to the Invincible Realm. He created his own nine-character mantra that is comparable to the Dao Lingkong Temple. For hundreds of years, Jie has been recognized as the most talented.
The most courageous assassin.
Among the nine-character mantra that only belongs to him, there are two unique skills that represent two completely different paths to the invincible realm. For such a person, you may not recognize him and regard him as a madman, but you cannot help but admire him.
Once such a character enters the invincible realm, even without fierce soldiers, he can be ranked at the top of the God List, surpassing his sister Situ Cangyue. If his road is not too bumpy, I am afraid that countless people in the dark world have already started
I emulate his martial arts.
As one of Jie's admirers, Qin Ke was unwilling to see his idol bow his head for whatever reason.
"Young City Master, you don't have to be polite."
Jie straightened up and said calmly: "There is no need to rush to break through. You are now in the air control realm. After you recover from your injury, I will share with you all I have learned in my life without reservation. I hope you can use it in the most perfect state."
Breaking through the Qi Control realm, your path is not the path of invincibility, but the path of genius."
Li Tianlan grabbed the box containing the immortality series potions and looked at Zhuang Huayang without saying anything.
Zhuang Huayang pointed in the direction of the lounge without saying a word.
Li Tianlan completely gave up on his plan to break through the Qi Control Realm and went straight to the lounge without hesitation.
The decoration in the lounge is simpler, with only a single bed and a meditation blanket.
Li Tianlan sat on the blanket, smelling the scent in the air that made people calm and enter a meditative state more quickly, and his whole person became more and more emptier.
In the office, Zed stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside the window, which once again turned into an inconspicuous shadow.
Time passed slowly in silence.
The three people in the office said nothing, each with their own thoughts.
"The light wind and flowing clouds will leave the city recently."
After a long silence, Jie suddenly said: "One is going to Youzhou, and the other is coming to Huating."
Light wind and flowing clouds.
The two top assassins known as the Twin Walls of the City of Sighs went down the mountain not to carry out a mission, but to go to the two most important cities in Central Continent respectively.
what does that mean?
Zhuang Huayang subconsciously tensed up his body.
He knew very well that Jie said this because he wanted the academy to give the City of Sighs a certain degree of support.
This kind of support is something the academic community is happy to give.
But the meaning behind this matter...
"are you ready?"
Zhuang Huayang said in a deep voice.
When Sigh City left the Northeast and re-entered the world many years later, their conflicts with Kunlun City, Beihai Wang Family, and even some wealthy families in the special operations group would immediately become extremely acute. Such a move was too aggressive.
"I know you want to help pave the way for Tianlan, but are you too impatient now?"
Zhuang Huayang looked at Jie who remained silent and asked again.
"Now is the right time."
Zed's voice was calm and indifferent.
Zhuang Huayang remained silent.
The City of Sighs is completely different from the Academy.
Sigh City and Li Tianlan have completely identical positions, which is why they acted so resolutely.
But the academic faction wooed Li Tianlan for political and profit reasons.
At this stage, Li Tianlan has shown his potential, and the academy is also willing to do some things for his future, such as protecting his safety and giving him time to grow. However, some things are too sensitive after all, such as Li Tianlan's identity and his past career.
Treason case.
The academic faction is willing to protect Li Tianlan, which is completely different from the academic faction going to war with Kunlun City for Li Tianlan.
Even if Li Tianlan enters the invincible realm in the future, it is impossible for the academic faction to fully antagonize Kunlun City for him, or even suppress them, unless Kunlun City is really at the end of its rope.
To put it simply, no matter how much support the academic faction gives to Li Tianlan, it is still limited. No matter what happens in the future, the academic faction has a way out.
But the City of Sighs is completely different.
Taking advantage of Li Tianlan's growth period, Sigh City directly began to pave the way for him, making it clear that he and Li Tianlan would advance and retreat together.
Unless Li Tianlan's identity is never exposed, and his relationship with Sigh City is never exposed, otherwise if Li Tianlan fails in the future, the entire Sigh City will disappear because of Li Tianlan's failure.
Zhuang Huayang asked if he was ready, but he actually asked if Sigh City had really thought about it.
And Jie's answer explained everything.
The academics do not have such courage, because they do not have such a position at all. They did not win over Li Tianlan to go to war with Kunlun City. From the beginning, they were only for profit, and they will do so in the future.
"This matter involves too much. If we fail in the future..."
"Then it's a failure."
Before Zhuang Huayang could finish his sentence, Jie interrupted him directly, his tone becoming calmer and firmer.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at Qin Ke and asked: "Director Qin, are you willing to join Sighing City?"
Zhuang Huayang's face changed drastically. Before he could speak, Qin Ke was already ecstatic and said without hesitation: "I am willing to follow His Majesty the Hidden God."
"I'm not following His Majesty the Hidden God."
Jie corrected Qin Ke seriously: "I am following the young city lord."
Qin Ke hesitated for a moment, but nodded. Her eyes turned to the direction of the lounge and she remained silent.
The person he would follow from now on, the person he would follow along with Zed, was currently inside, recovering from his injuries.
A descendant of the Li family?
Thinking of his terrifying potential, Qin Ke's eyes were in a trance.
If Li Tianlan can graduate with first place in both colleges and establish his own power, when his identity is exposed and the entire city of Sigh comes under Li Tianlan's command, how big of a storm will be caused in the entire Central Continent?
Behind that storm, is the genius officially rising, or is the god of war completely coming to an end?
Qin Ke pursed his red lips tightly.
Faintly, the storm was getting closer and closer.
at the same time.
In the lounge.
Li Tianlan, who was meditating, opened his eyes and opened the box in front of him.
Inside the box, the entire set of immortality has been fully activated.
The purple liquid of the Eternal Life II is undulating slightly, constantly flashing with endless vitality, magnificent and gorgeous.
Li Tianlan looked calm, subconsciously touched his white hair, and held the vessel containing the Second Generation of Eternal Life with his other hand.
This is what will heal his injury.
This is something that even makes his potential even better.
Li Tianlan's eyes were deep and peaceful, as if there was a road reflected in front of him, between reality and illusion.
There are blood and bones on that road, there is glory and forbearance, there are laughter and sad songs, and there are heavy rains and snows.
It is full of thorns, yet extremely flat.
It has everything but no escape route.
You can only go forward, you can only go up.
The wide road continued to stretch before his eyes, as if it had reached the end of the sky.
Li Tianlan unscrewed the container in his hand and poured the purple liquid in the container directly into his mouth.
