Xiao Yao asked the reason why he was not allowed to mention the old man's name, and the old man sighed: "At the beginning, my master accepted thirty-two apprentices, and only one of me was promoted to the ninth rank, and now, I only accept one apprentice from you, think about it, if you let others know the relationship between you and me......"

Xiao Yao couldn't help but hold his breath, yes, just now I felt that I had a powerful master covering, and I could walk sideways in the future, now look, it seems very dangerous to have a ninth-order master as a master! Maybe one day someone will be yin.

There are many brothers, and if you kill one and others, the enemy can't kill all of his brothers, and it doesn't make sense to kill one or two. Now the master is just him, a lone apprentice, and killing him is equivalent to cutting off the future of the Xiao family! I don't know how many people will take the risk to kill him.

The old man patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and whispered, "You can be safer if you don't know my name." ”

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't speak, he was really speechless.

"Why doesn't the master charge more?" Xiao Yao thought about it and asked.

The old man said: "I am only responsible for your grandfather, I can not be responsible for the Xiao family, this is what I agreed with your grandfather when I came to the Xiao family's old house." ”

"But why did you take me as an apprentice?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"Inheritance is a responsibility, but also a shackle, I have to find an inheritor for the Xiao family, this is my promise when I was promoted, you better not die too early, when you reach the ninth order, you must also find an inheritor." The old man looked at Xiao Yao, but his eyes couldn't hide the love in his heart.

Xiao Yao's eyes rolled and said, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely find a few more people to practice the original scriptures." ”

The old man's expression froze, and he said, "You have to think clearly." ”

"What do you think?"

"Only the five major families have this kind of cultivation method, and each family lists them as the foundation of the family, and each family is extremely cautious in selecting practitioners, and generally only selects people with the same surname." The old man reminded.

Xiao Yao thought for a while and said: "People with the same surname may not all be loyal to the family, and people with foreign surnames may not necessarily have different aspirations. One more person cultivates, and one more person shares the risk for me, isn't it? ”

"You can do it yourself, in your grandfather's words, you can do anything." The old man smiled and said indifferently.

Xiao Yao grinned, noncommittal, but scolded his grandfather in his heart, this accidentally made his grandfather put it again, he got such a big benefit, if one day he really became a ninth-order martial artist, would he still take care of the Xiao family? Do you still want to find an inheritor for the Xiao family?

I originally wanted to draw a clear line with the Xiao family, why do I feel that I am getting more and more unclear now?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao squinted his eyes slightly and asked the master, "What if I don't want to cultivate inheritors for the Xiao family?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can do it yourself." ”

Xiao Yao glanced at the old man without scruples, why is this sentence again? But immediately, Xiao Yao was stunned, but he quickly figured out the reason, he was originally the descendant of the Xiao family, and his relatives were the Xiao family.

As for those collateral branches, if they are willing to cling, of course Xiao Yao is also willing to co-opt, if they don't look down on Xiao Yao, then they will leave voluntarily.

Xiao Yao is here, and Xiao's family is here. Where he is, the Xiao family is there.

Grandpa gave him the Genetic Research Institute, gave him the Yuan Tianjing, and gave him a ninth-order martial artist's master, enough, what was not given to him, grandpa couldn't look down on it, and he Xiao Yao couldn't look down on it either.

Is this all that grandpa has in store for him? Or are these just part of the story? Grandpa seemed to have calculated exactly what he needed, and he couldn't refuse everything he had prepared.

He suddenly felt powerless again, he wanted to live himself, he wanted to leave the Xiao family, but where could he go? Wherever he is, the Xiao family will follow.

Xiao Yao sighed and asked the master: "The old mansion has been destroyed like this, what are your plans in the future?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "I'll go to see an old friend, it's a month at the fastest, two or three months at the slow, and I'll come back to pick you up in three months at most, and I'll take you for another ride." ”

In Xiao Quan's small courtyard, he was lying in a transparent glassware, his whole body was soaked in a light blue medicinal liquid, his whole body muscles were tense, and the extreme pain made the muscles on his face twitch uncontrollably, but he clenched his teeth and didn't snort.

He still had the coin between his fingers, but his hands were shaking, and he couldn't turn it over anymore.

It took a long time for the painful expression on his face to soothe a little.

"Master." A girl in her twenties appears in front of the glassware.

"Say."

"That hacker group has hidden all traces, and we can't trace any clues about him."

Xiao listened expressionlessly, stood up from the glassware, dressed as if no one was around, and did not speak.

"Could it be the power of the Dark Forest?" Xiao Quan muttered softly.

The girl just listened, didn't speak, she knew too well that Xiao Quan didn't need their reminders when he was thinking about the problem, and he didn't need their opinions.

"Or maybe it's the Qin family's artificial intelligence?" Xiao Quan's brows stretched a little, as if he had caught something, but he didn't seem to have caught it.

After muttering to himself, he turned to the woman beside him, picked up the woman's chin with his right index finger, and asked softly, "Xia Yu, how many years have you been with me?" ”

"Thirteen years." Xia Yu's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Quan.

"Look at me." Xiao Quan said softly.

Xia Yu obediently looked at Xiao Quan's eyes, those eyes were very cold, so cold that there was no temperature, so cold that no one dared to look directly at him.

"I want you to check, use all the strength of your subordinates to check......" Xiao Quan stopped halfway through speaking.

Xia Yu waited silently.

"Do you know what to look for?" Xiao Quan asked suddenly.

Xia Yu was stunned, trembling with fright, and stammered speechless.

Xiao Quan gently rubbed Xia Yu's cheek and said, "Go and find out what stage the Qin family's artificial intelligence has developed, and whether it can use artificial intelligence to invade our weapon system." ”

"Understood." Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief in the face of such a perverted leader.

"Go ahead!" Xiao Quan took his hand away from Xia Yu's face.

Xia Yu left Xiao Quan's house in a panic, and his whole body was a little stiff.

Gently closing the door behind him, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Outside the door, a woman about her age was still waiting.

"How's the mood of the host?" The woman asked suddenly.

Xia Yu was so frightened that a spirit spirit shuddered, and then he saw the woman waiting beside him.

"You dead autumn shadow, you scared me to death. Xia Yu sneered.

"Ask you! What about the mood of the host. The woman named Autumn Shadow asked again.

"Be careful, the master is in a bad mood." Xia Yu whispered, for fear that the loud voice would be heard by Xiao Quan in the house.

Autumn Shadow took a deep breath and gathered her emotions before knocking softly on the door.

Qiu Ying walked into the room, and didn't dare to come out, standing about two meters in front of Xiao's body, quietly waiting for Xiao Quan to ask.

"Come and sit." Xiao Quan pointed to his thigh.

Autumn Shadow walked over with ease, sat on Xiao's lap, and obediently wrapped her arms around his neck.

Xiao Quan's hand reached in from the hem of Qiu Ying's blouse, gently stroked her back, and said, "Check it out for me, who Xiao Yao has seen since he came back from North America, who he has talked to, and what he has said, I want to know everything." ”

"Okay." Autumn Shadow replied.

"Do you know what I want you to do?" Xiao Quan asked.

"I don't know." Qiu Ying never guessed Xiao Quan's intentions, she just did what Xiao Quan commanded.

"Give me a list, it's a death list, and I want you to kill me one by one." Xiao Quan whispered vicious words.

"Understood." Autumn Shadow agreed.

"You can go, yes, help me call Zou Tian over." Xiao Quan patted Qiu Ying lightly on the back and said.

"Understood." Autumn Shadow finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran out of the room.

Not long after, Zou Tian also came to the house.

Zou Tian's face was still a little pale, and it would take at least a week of recuperation for a large area of blood vessels in his body to fully recover, and he was already lucky to be alive.

"Still alive?" Xiao Quan asked lightly.

Zou Tian's hairs stood up all over his body, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Alive." Zou Tian lowered his head.

"I remember you told me that you were a sixth-order martial artist, I was not wrong, right?" Xiao Quan asked.

"Yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, you can still sublimate your strength and reach the seventh order."

"Yes." Zou Tian obediently admitted.

"That Lin Hua is a fifth-order, I'm not wrong, right?"

"Yes."

"But you lost to him, and you almost died, am I right?"

"Yes." Zou Tian's head was almost buried in his chest. His superpower is strength, which can make him stronger, punch faster, and be stronger, but Lin Hua's superpower is gravity, and under the ever-changing gravity, his superpower can't play its due effect at all.

After he activated his superpowers, his body density could increase by six times, so his weight also increased by six times, but this increased weight also had to bear gravity in front of Lin Hua's superpowers.

In this way, his superpowers were completely killed, and he was completely useless in front of Lin Hua. It can even become a burden.

But he didn't dare to complain to Xiao Quan, or even explain.

What he didn't dare to say was that although all this was a disadvantage, it was not enough for him to lose, what really made him willing to lose the battle by self-harm was the white light on Lin Hua's fingertips, which was a symbol of status and a token.

In Xiao Quan's original plan, Zou Tian should be able to defeat Lin Hua, so that Xiao Quan himself doesn't have to make a move, and only Zou Tian can smooth everything out.

But Zou Tian lost, which disrupted Xiao Quan's plan and injured him.

Xiao Quan looked at Zou Tian's right hand, where only the wrist was left, and there was still a hand.

"Go to the company and get a bionic hand, A-class." Xiao Quan said lightly.

Zou Tian blinked, he didn't know what to say for a while, he messed up Xiao Quan's plan, Xiao Quan didn't punish him, and asked him to install the company's most advanced mechanical limbs, which made him not know how to answer for a while, and he didn't even know if Xiao Quan said the opposite.
