After entering August, the weather in Haidu became extremely hot. Haidu was not among the four hottest furnace cities of the Han and Tang dynasties, but in fact, when it came to the degree of heat, the citizens of Haidu agreed that not being on the list was a disgrace to Haidu's scorching heat.
This is a city located on the coast in the middle of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It experienced the colonial era in its early years. The buildings in the city incorporate the characteristics of Western architecture to some extent. However, as the Han and Tang Dynasties gradually entered the world's mainstream countries, and after further modernization, these buildings
Things gradually disappeared among tall buildings.
The place where Kaito Martial Arts is located is an early Western-style building. As a historical relic, it has been renovated many times and is still standing today.
Cheng Zhe and Chen Tongren were sitting in a small office, each holding a cigarette. Together with the visitors opposite, the three old smokers were puffing away. The room, which was about ten meters in size, could hardly be seen.
Not clear about things.
"Grandmaster Xiao, I have invited you many times," Chen Tongren was the first to break the silence: "I know you are busy and have been procrastinating for a long time. I hope you understand that it is not that we keep urging, we also have difficulties."
What is difficult to guess about this difficulty is simply the pressure from martial arts. But some time ago, it was just a notice and not very tight. It is probably that people in the martial arts world are not fully prepared yet. Now, Xiao Kaitian is thinking
Now it's time for a showdown.
He spread his hands indifferently: "I'm the only one to say sorry. After all, I want to be an entrepreneur more than a master."
Of course it is a good thing to be an entrepreneur, but no matter how good it is to be able to compare with martial arts cultivators, apart from anything else, just as the realm increases, the life span can also be increased invisibly. At the level of a grandmaster, if you live for a year, you will still be as good as a six-year-old.
Same as a seventy-year-old person.
Cheng Zhe and Chen Tongren have been fighting for most of their lives, and they are still at the peak of their realm. It would be a lie to say they are not jealous, but they dare not offend the person in front of them.
Cheng Zhe smiled bitterly: "Master Xiao is really joking. Okay, I invite you here today because there are two things that the martial arts association wants to inform you about."
"Please tell me." Xiao Kaitian didn't mean to embarrass the two of them. In fact, speaking of it, Haidu Martial Arts Club was still okay with him. Later, he even asked Yan Xuan and Lin Dandan to do hard labor in Qingtang World.
"A matter involving diplomacy and the martial arts community of the island country. In response to the Kirigakure Santo incident raised by us, the Takeda family requested intervention. They will come over in the near future and may come to find you then."
Cheng Zhe stared at Xiao Kaitian's expression through the thick smoke: "What the meeting means is that this matter is Grandmaster Xiao's personal issue after all. I hope you can resolve it privately with the Takeda family."
"After all, the martial arts associations of two countries are involved, and the World Martial Arts Federation has also intervened to mediate. Our position in the Han and Tang Dynasties is a bit embarrassing."
This was to completely throw the blame away. It was said to be a personal matter, but in fact it was just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Xiao Kaitian didn't care. He also wanted to ask the Takeda family about the matter of the Kirigakure Three.
"Another thing is that after you met and communicated with the Takeda family, the three bureaus of Yinshan, Changbai, and Kunlun jointly held an investigation meeting regarding the Ceylon incident between you and Bai Kou. You must cooperate to participate. The specific location will be announced at that time.
inform you."
The highlight finally came. Xiao Kaitian put out the cigarette butt and leaned forward slightly: "Investigation meeting? It won't be the Hongmen Banquet."
"Ahem!" Cheng Zhe suddenly choked on the smoke and coughed. He blushed: "How is that possible?"
"I was just in case. I recently heard that the Tianshan Party had issued a ban on me." Xiao Kaitian frowned: "Actually, this is really a misunderstanding. Everyone knows that Bai Kou and I are just ordinary friends.
, there is no big deal.”
"Actually, we are not familiar with each other. We just met by chance. It's just that I admire Grandmaster Bai's character very much. I accidentally learned that Grandmaster Bai was detained by the sect. I felt sorry for him. I happened to pass by by chance and stopped by to meet him. That's all.
Making such a big noise."
"This makes me feel very disappointed in the martial arts world. Although I, Xiao Kaitian, have not made any achievements since I joined the martial arts association, it is really disappointing to be accused of such a big crime just for a visit and consultation."
"I'm very worried that my participation in this investigation meeting will cause more serious consequences. I think the martial arts community must make a commitment to me in advance."
This is a man from a mixed society. He has made great achievements in corporate public relations. It is said that he is the best young entrepreneur in Haidu this year. Cheng Zhe can't help but swallow his bitter taste. He and Chen Tong are martial arts practitioners.
People in this world are all simple and simple, and they are no match for Xiao Kaitian and his like in terms of talking and talking.
Balabala said so much, but all she meant was that I just don't believe you. You have to issue a letter of guarantee, otherwise I won't go.
If Xiao Kaitian really doesn't want to participate in this investigation meeting, the martial arts world really has no choice but to name the challenge. Just kidding, in terms of strength, he is a grandmaster. It is said that he has killed wanderers. Who is willing to go?
In terms of social status, this guy is a new business wizard in Haidu. The projects in his hands are all kinds of dazzling. If you think about it, you know that the money in your pocket is measured in tons. In addition, he has a close relationship with the country's military. You can kill him in private.
Okay, who has the courage?
Thinking about it, this guy is a thorn in the side, and extremely troublesome. He is simply a cancer in the martial arts world.
"Since Grandmaster Xiao has such concerns, we also understand." Cheng Zhe wondered what was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to follow his words: "We will report the matter, but my opinion is definitely just a general investigation.
Yes, just asking for advice."
Xiao Kaitian crossed his legs with satisfaction. He took out the red Marlboro and divided it between the two of them. The two took it hesitantly.
"I am still used to smoking my own cigarettes. Although they are not expensive, people are very strange. Habits represent a guide for certain actions. Everything will become a routine based on my own experience."
Xiao Kaitian smiled and ordered for the two of them. Now that he was in a higher level than the two of them, this was to give him face. Cheng Zhe and Chen Tongren looked at each other and silently accepted.
"Actually, I really just think that if you do your own thing, there may inevitably be some incompatibility," Xiao Kaitian exhaled a breath of smoke: "I hope that the two of you can continue to support the whole world in the future."
There was something mysterious in these words. What Xiao Kaitian was looking for was not himself, but the whole world. And since this company was in Haidu, the two of them seemed to have caught something in their hearts.
In fact, the positions of the two of them were not high, and they could not see through future events. However, combined with the decision of the Martial Arts Association and the information disclosed internally, they felt a little unsure. They suddenly felt that no matter what Xiao Kaitian was, no matter how serious his thoughts were,
, at least you won’t dig a hole for yourself.
What I said just now sounds a bit like asking for help.
"I understand." Cheng Zhe made a statement: "Grandmaster Xiao, to be honest, I admire you very much."
