C289 An Old Acquaintance
In the next few days, a few important guests came to Unfalling City. They were the City Lords of the five strongest powers on the continent! The entire Unfalling City was in a state of anxiety. Many people were afraid that they would be killed if they neglected them. However, these people were not as arrogant as they imagined. Instead, they were all very amiable.
According to Tian Qingtian, "People of their level won't be calculative with you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken this position."
The first to arrive was the City Lord Ju of Stormy City. This was the strongest of the few people who had split up. He was also the most experienced one. However, what shocked Qingtian the most was that this old fellow had actually brought an "acquaintance" with him!
Chrysanthemum was an old man who seemed to be in his sixties. He had a pair of eagle eyebrows. His beard was trimmed very specially, and he looked like a pirate. However, it seemed like there had never been such a style on the continent. The old man looked very fashionable. The most eye-catching thing was that he was carrying a long and thick spear on his back. It was very exaggerated, as if he was carrying a big tree. Those who saw him avoided him from afar, afraid that the big spear would touch him.
This familiar person, Qingtian, followed behind Chrysanthemum obediently, looking like a good baby. It was the powerful scene of the Devil Clan that he had fought in the Fire God Palace!
When he saw Qingtian Jing, he was very excited and immediately shouted, "So it's you! I didn't expect you to become the patriarch!" As he spoke, he ran over to greet Tian Qingtian.
"Hi!" Qingtian didn't expect to meet him here. He was afraid that this fellow would reveal his background. However, before he could react, a loud bang was heard and Jing was sent flying by a large hand behind him. "Bastard! There's no place for you to speak here, stand behind me!" Chrysanthemum's shout echoed throughout the hall. Standing opposite of her, Qingtian hurriedly covered his ears. "Good fellow, this old man must be at least a hundred years old. Why is he so angry!? "
"Lord Patriarch, I'm really sorry. My son is too young and not steady enough." It seemed like this Chrysanthemum was Jing's father. It was really interesting. He had to suffer for having such a father.
"Senior Chrysanthemum, you're welcome. Brother Jing and I had a relationship before. We also know each other." Tian Qingtian quickly explained, because he saw Ju raising her fist again. After all, he had fought with Jing once, so he couldn't just watch her die.
" Oh? This kid still has a chance to meet someone like you? Consider him lucky. " After saying that, he put away his fist. "Lord Patriarch has just taken office, so I brought this kid here to take a look. I've long heard that the Patriarch's strength is outstanding, and he defeated a few elders at such a young age. You're about to become the strongest person in the clan. This old man is very interested in you. That's why I came here to take a look." This old man is a typical simple-minded person who has never had any thoughts. However, he has a group of loyal subordinates, and there are some knowledgeable people among them. In addition, he was an outstanding person in his time, and had once been called the number one person in the clan. He was extremely powerful. Furthermore, he had a fiery temper, but he was actually very careful. No matter what happened, he had to fight first. Who would dare to provoke such a person? However, the old man seemed to have restrained himself a little in recent years. He had become like a paddy that nourished his intelligence.
He thought about the information old patriarch had given him and then looked at the old man in front of him. Qing Tian had a headache. "What's there to talk about with such a person? What kind of strategy does he know? How is he going to tell him what he thinks? Maybe I'll find you to compete in martial arts. Sigh!" Just as Qingtian was feeling vexed, Chrysanthemum spoke up. "I heard that you found a few of us, Patriarch. It seems that you have something important to discuss with us."
"Hm? Hmm? Could it be that this old man has changed his personality?" Seeing Chrysanthemum ask this, Qingtian couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. "Of course, this junior did indeed have an important matter to discuss with you here. Furthermore... This matter concerns the consolation of the continent. I hope that such a highly respected person like you can give more suggestions. "
He saw that the old man was interested in his own matters. Atlas quickly said, "The matter is like this..." However, before he could finish, the old man waved his hand. "Don't tell me about these things. My subordinates will deal with them with you. I came today because I have other matters to discuss with you. "
"Er... it's like that. I thought so. Sigh: "If you have something to say, just say it. Kid, I will definitely be listening." Old bastard, could it be that you're playing with me!? It couldn't be helped. He couldn't afford to offend this old fellow now. Otherwise, he would very likely have one more enemy.
"It's like this, I heard that you're the champion of this year's Rookie Competition. Furthermore, your strength is outstanding, and you easily defeated all of your opponents. You even have a devil pet in your hand. Now, he had become the Patriarch who he trusted! Of course, this was something that everyone in the world knew. My son used to be the champion of this competition, but he was sent out to carry out a mission. He only came back a few days ago. I want you to spar with him and treat it as giving him some pointers... After all, the youngsters nowadays are a bit disappointing, and there aren't many decent ones. I wonder if Lord Patriarch can agree to it." Chrysanthemum directly said it and challenged the Patriarch! This sort of thing seemed to be reasonable in his words.
"This, this is a matter..." Before Qingtian could finish speaking, Jing rushed to speak. This fellow was clearly younger than him, but because he had become the patriarch... But now he could stand on equal footing with his father. He was not willing to give up. "Father! We had once exchanged blows, and it was a draw! "
"Bang! Another sound rang out. This time, it was even more vicious. He directly slammed the scenery against the wall. Looking at the wall that was covered in cracks, Atlas felt his heart ache.
"Bastard! I'm talking to the patriarch here. What right do you have to interrupt? Besides, can you defeat the patriarch with your meager strength? " In fact, the old man had his own thoughts. After hearing about the rise of Qingtian... After being silent for so many years, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. It had been a long time since anyone dared to make a move against him. It was said that the new patriarch was very powerful, and it seemed impossible for him to reach such a level at his age. Therefore, after receiving Qingtian's invitation, he was the first to rush here, hoping to learn from him.
Of course, since he was so old, he naturally could not take the initiative to compete with a child. Thus, he first sent his son over, so that he could train him. In the end, this brat actually didn't know his limits and even said that he could fight to a draw with him! Who was the Great Elder? Although he was not the strongest in the clan for so many years, he could still be considered a number of experts. He was actually taken care of by this brat. Furthermore, it was said that he was not the only one. This newly appointed clan head was challenging the six of them alone! If it was him, he might not have the ability to do so either. Thus, he had to experience it today.
"That, Senior Ju, Jing is indeed speaking the truth. Although I was in a hurry last time, since you have such an idea now... Then I'll gladly accept it. Let's go to the martial arts field." This scene is a bit too pitiful. I should just follow the old man's wishes. Otherwise, I might be beaten into a pig head by him in a while.
"Good, good, good, good. It's still you who knows the big picture, unlike this disappointing son of mine. Let's go now." As he spoke, he went over and pulled down the scenery that was embedded in the wall. "Hurry up, I've got a rare opportunity for you. Hurry up and leave." As he spoke, he dragged Jing like a dead dog. He first walked out.
"Sigh, actually, this old man really loves the scenery, but he really wants to make him improve. His methods are a bit too extreme, and that child also understands this point." old patriarch shook his head and said.
"Sigh, how could this old man want Jing to compete with me? It was obvious that his hands were itching and he had no excuse. He already expected that his son wouldn't be a match for me. At that time, he would be able to fight me properly. He had no choice but to take things one step at a time. Why is there such a person here?" After saying that, Qingtian and old patriarch followed behind them.
Qingtian couldn't tell what the old man was thinking. Who would have thought that someone so old would be so warlike? However, if they didn't follow him, what would the two of them talk about? How would they carry out their plan? However, after fully understanding the old man's situation, Tian Qingtian had shockingly come up with a very good plan. However, the prerequisite was that they had to defeat this old man.
