Chapter 779: Chapter 776: Speaking in Half Sentences

Although half of it doesn’t sound like much, it is already enough to allow the Huang Family’s hospital guards to regain their mobility, and run their True Qi to repair their injuries on their own.

Xiao Tian was confident that he had only encountered a handful of people with such capabilities, never expecting the Huang Family to hide such a nearly invincible trump card!

In an instant, Xiao Tian finally understood how the Huang Family, having struggled multiple times on the brink of life and death, had managed to climb back to the peak step by step and become the overlord of the Northern Border.

As soon as he regained mobility, Xiao Tian immediately ran to Lin Bingxuan’s side and asked with concern, ”Are you alright?”

Lin Bingxuan forced a smile, indicating she wasn’t in any major trouble, but the seriousness between her brows remained undiminished.

”Regarding the purpose of you two young friends coming here, I already know. However, I have a question for you.” The elderly voice, calm as an undisturbed pool, asked, ”After seeing me, do you still plan to seize the heirloom of my Huang Family?”

Lin Bingxuan was about to respond, but Xiao Tian intercepted her, saying, ”That depends on what you do next.”

”Oh?” The elder paused before speaking, ”Let’s hear it.”

Xiao Tian stepped forward, half shielding Lin Bingxuan behind him, his gaze steady and fearless as he matched the elder’s eyes, saying aloud, ”If you keep us here today, there’s nothing more to say, but if you let us leave...”

”And?” the elder pressed.

”I can guarantee that within three days, you will obediently hand over what I want!” Having said that, Xiao Tian held up a finger, ”Besides, let me correct your word choice, we are borrowing, not seizing!”

Those words instantly caused a stir in the hall.

”Isn’t this person too shameless?”

”He injured so many of us, and almost tore the roof off, and this can still be considered borrowing?!”

”Having the audacity to spout such nonsense with a straight face, this talent would be wasted if not used to become a corrupt official!”

Hearing the family’s discussions around him, a trace of displeasure crossed the elder’s otherwise unchanging gaze, followed by a light cough that rendered the hall silent once more.

”You... have utterly disappointed me!” The elder spoke slowly, then suddenly queried, ”If I hadn’t appeared, would you still dare to speak so recklessly?!”

That single sentence caused most of the Huang Family’s hospital guards to lower their heads in embarrassment, and a few others were too afraid to make a sound lest they catch the elder’s attention.

Yet, Xiao Tian responded for them, ”Your question is indeed a bit redundant. People are only reckless in environments without consequences. If you hadn’t appeared, unless Huang Feihu defeated me, no one would dare to face the repercussions of provoking me!”

The elder did not speak, neither admitting nor denying Xiao Tian’s words, and only after a moment did he say, ”From what you’ve just said, it seems I must keep you here today?!”

Xiao Tian sneered, ”Even without my words, you would have done what you intended to do anyway. Would my saying that I won’t set sights on your Huang Family’s heirloom anymore convince you to let us leave?!”

This time, the elder remained silent for a long time before saying, ”You’re right, I was indeed being foolish to ask such a redundant question.”

Upon hearing this, the four father and son members of the Huang Family including Huang Feihu were all taken aback. Since when did this old man become so agreeable?!

After a long silence, the elder withdrew his distant gaze and said blandly, ”Enough, then let me decide to lend you the family heirloom!”

”Wh-what?!”

”Did I hear that wrong?!”

”This change is too sudden, without any prelude!”

Before everyone could react from their shock, the elder’s authoritative voice rang out, ”Feihu!”

Feeling a chill in his heart, Huang Feihu promptly stepped forward and cupped his hands, ”Seventh Uncle!”

”I’m deciding to lend the family heirloom to this young friend. Do you have any objections?” The elder asked perfunctorily, anyone could tell he was just going through the motions and not truly seeking Huang Feihu’s opinion.

”It’s all up to Seventh Uncle’s judgment!” Huang Feihu responded, cupping his hands. Were it not for this elder’s timely appearance, his very survival would still be uncertain, let alone refusing his decision.

However, Huang Feihu’s response did not satisfy the elder, who instead scolded him, ”What do you mean by leaving it to me to decide, are you or aren’t you the Patriarch?!”

Cold sweat broke out on Huang Feihu’s forehead as he hurriedly explained, ”I misspoke.”

After speaking, he gave the elder no chance to capitalize on the situation, and promptly cupped his hands again, ”I will go fetch the family heirloom at once.” With that, he vanished without a trace.

”You wouldn’t be doing this out of the goodness of your heart, would you?” Xiao Tian asked rather ungratefully, ”Speak your terms, if they are acceptable, I will agree.”

The elder seemed especially satisfied with Xiao Tian’s straightforwardness and insight, and after waving everyone except Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan out of the hall and closing the doors, he said, ”Indeed! I do have a personal matter I need your help with.”

”Please, speak!” Xiao Tian said bluntly.

The elder sighed, his gaze turning distant again before he finally spoke in a dreamy tone, ”I watched your battle with Huang Feihu just now, and you have such skill at a young age. Impressive!”

Xiao Tian chuckled, ”Yet at your age, you can suppress a crowd of strong men with a mere gesture. Isn’t that even more impressive!”

Hearing the compliment, the elder waved dismissively, ”There are plenty out there stronger than I am, but the chances of them intersecting with us are slim!”

The elder’s modest words caused Xiao Tian’s gaze to change repeatedly, compelling him to ask, ”What specifically do you mean by unlikely to intersect?”

”Telling you now is pointless, once your ability reaches a certain level, you will naturally encounter those people.” The elder then let a fervor flash in his gaze, ”Then you’ll experience what it means to face true power!”

Unmoved by the elder’s answer, Xiao Tian’s brows furrowed, ”So the terms you plan to propose aren’t meant to be immediately fulfilled?”

”Clever!” The elder smiled faintly, ”Though there’s no need to worry excessively, since I myself am unsure whether you can meet my conditions!”

”Of course, it’s not that I doubt you can reach that level.” The elder added, ”In fact, I’ve already seen the potential in you, however...”

”However what?” Not receiving a continuation for a long time, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but ask, growing irritated internally. It was infuriating for someone to either say nothing or only say half the story!

”Never mind, never mind, let’s not bring up old stories!” The elder shook his head and sighed, making one wish to go up and give him a heavy punch.
