Master Qi had basically figured out Xiao Changge’s identity.
The other Martial Artists, of course, knew nothing of the Qilin.
After all, that name belonged to a much higher echelon.
Without a certain status, one wouldn’t understand.
“Asura, I’ll leave the rest to you!”
Xiao Changge intended to leave.
Cao Hu hadn’t known much, so Xiao Changge couldn’t be bothered to ask more questions.
“Sir!”
Just then, Master Qi kowtowed and said, “I am willing to follow you!”
“Hm?”
Xiao Changge looked at Master Qi.
“I just killed your boss, and you want to follow me?”
“Our relationship was purely transactional.
Now that he’s dead, I am naturally free to leave!” Master Qi didn’t seem to care much.
There was no emotional attachment to speak of between him and Cao Hu.
Besides, in terms of status, Cao Hu had been his inferior.
“Sir, Cao Hu is now dead.
The Cao family are imperial merchants, after all, and they need someone to take control.
I am willing to serve you!”
Master Qi quickly added.
‘This is a golden opportunity to latch onto someone powerful.’
“Fine.
The Cao family is yours to manage.”
Xiao Changge nodded.
“Thank you, Sir!”
Master Qi quickly kowtowed.
He had successfully latched onto this powerful figure.
Even for a Grandmaster Level figure like him, being able to attach himself to the Qilin was the highest honor.
“Sir, let me escort you back,” Asura said.
“No need.
Your warplane is too conspicuous,” Xiao Changge said, shaking his head.
「Outside the Cao family estate.」
“My god, just who is this Xiao Changge?” the members of the Su family speculated amongst themselves.
To be able to mobilize so many troops…
if he were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t believe it even if you beat them to death.
“Mom, didn’t his grandfather say he was just a beggar?
How is Xiao Changge so formidable?” Su Jiayin admitted that she had misjudged him.
Wang Mei shook her head.
“I…
I don’t know.”
‘That old man back then did seem very ordinary, but for him to casually produce a five-hundred-year-old Celestial Spirit Flower and build the Su family into what it is today…
it’s only natural to think he was anything but simple.’
The members of the Su family all fell silent.
Their previous attitude toward Xiao Changge had been far from good.
Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads.
This was especially true for Su Bingtian.
From the moment he first laid eyes on Xiao Changge, he had never once shown him a pleasant expression.
‘If he decides to hold this against me, I’ll be in huge trouble.’
Just then, the Su family saw Xiao Changge walk out of the Cao family estate.
“Changge, are you alright?” Wang Mei asked with concern.
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Changge was a little surprised to see the Su family.
“What on earth happened inside the Cao estate?
Did you call in these troops?” Su Bingtian asked, still finding it hard to accept.
He just couldn’t believe that Xiao Changge was some big shot.
The other members of the Su family also turned to look at Xiao Changge, desperate to know what had happened inside the estate and whether he had really been the one to call in the troops.
Xiao Changge said nonchalantly, “It was Asura.
When he heard I was going to destroy the Cao family, he decided to come along.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a collective shudder went through the Su family.
‘So it was true!’
Asura!
It really was Asura!
‘Xiao Changge knows Asura?’
‘And they’re on good terms?’
In that moment, the way everyone looked at Xiao Changge changed.
Before, they had thought Xiao Changge was nothing more than a beggar’s grandson, but now, it turned out he could command Asura.
‘What kind of status did that imply?’
But the Su family still found it incredible.
Asura was a Peak War God of the Dragon Country.
If Xiao Changge knew him, then who on earth was he?
It was unimaginable!
But just then, an armored vehicle slowly approached.
Everyone in the Su family saw it.
It was Ye Xiaoyun!
