He walked into the villa bravely and saw that Qiao Jingtian had already tied his apron and walked towards the kitchen.
"Sit anywhere and I'll cook."
Xu Tian sat on the sofa.
Good, at least I don't want him to cook.
Xu Tian had never experienced the experience of a grown man going to another grown man's house for dinner in his entire life.
In order to save his life, he could only try his best to overcome the awkwardness in his heart.
After all, on Wuji Island, no one can offend this ancestor.
There was a noise in the kitchen. Xu Tian was bored, so he got up and walked around the living room.
There is a retro photo frame on the low cabinet under the TV.
"The people on Wuji Island like to put up photo frames so much." Xu Tian picked up the photo frame and looked at it, and found that it was a stunning-looking young woman. "Don't look at this kid who is usually like an ice cube, but he can actually put a woman on it."
Pictures of friends are displayed at home.”
Such behavior is not consistent with Xu Tian's understanding of Qiao Jingtian, but it is not his turn as an outsider to express any opinions.
He put the picture frame back to its original position, looked around the living room and then sat back on the sofa.
"It's time to eat."
Twenty minutes later, Qiao Jingtian poked his head out of the kitchen and called Xu Tian over.
Xu Tian walked into the restaurant and saw two bowls of steaming instant noodles placed neatly on the dining table.
Xu Tian:……
This was his first time seeing someone take the initiative to invite someone to his home to eat instant noodles.
And just making instant noodles, Qiao Jingtian actually spent more than 20 minutes!
"What? You don't like instant noodles?" Qiao Jingtian looked over with a cold face.
Xu Tian even felt that as long as he nodded, blood would immediately splatter on the spot.
"I love eating." Xu Tian silently sat opposite Qiao Jingtian and looked down at the instant noodle bucket.
This kid is reluctant to add any ham sausage.
But eating instant noodles is better than following Zhong Yu and others to eat live octopus, and this instant noodles has a taste he has never tasted before.
Xu Tian picked up the plastic fork, took a mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How does it taste?" Qiao Jingtian stopped.
"Yeah, it's quite delicious." Xu Tian shifted his gaze to the instant noodles in front of him, deliberately ignoring the ice-skate-like gaze.
Qiao Jingtian didn't say anything else. The two of them just sat in the empty restaurant and ate noodles. The only sound they could hear was the sound of noodles being sucked.
In a blink of an eye, the bowl of noodles was almost finished. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Xu Tian took the initiative and asked.
"Mr. Qiao, is the photo in the frame your girlfriend?"
Qiao Jingtian looked at him speechlessly: "That's my mother."
"Cough... cough cough cough..." Xu Tian almost choked to death, "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, my mother is gone." When it came to his mother, Qiao Jingtian's iceberg aura that kept strangers away from him was somewhat restrained. He recalled, "Although I can't remember it clearly, you have
The feeling she gave me was very similar to her."
Similar?
Xu Tian was slightly startled.
Could it be that he was talking about that day at the Stone Gambling Hall when he tried to get those men in black to let Qiao Jingtian go?
After Qiao Jingtian said this, he stopped talking. Seeing that the atmosphere around him became awkward again, Xu Tian had to find a topic again.
"You should be familiar with Wuji Island, right?"
"For example?" Qiao Jingtian asked.
"Well, for example, Canglang Palace."
Xu Tian silently observed the changes in the expression of the man opposite him, but unfortunately he saw nothing.
"I remember that the leader of Canglang Palace gave you a nickname, which is the one you hate the most..."
Qiao Jingtian frowned slightly when he heard this, showing a thoughtful expression.
"You mean the one named Ding Yi? There seems to be such a person, but I have no dealings with him."
Xu Tian:……
Wolf King Ding Yi deliberately tried to provoke Qiao Jingtian, and even spread such an unpleasant nickname throughout Wuji Island. In the end, in Qiao Jingtian's eyes, Ding Yi's existence was just "there seems to be this person."
If the real Wolf King knew about it, he would probably faint from anger.
"Mr. Qiao, have you ever heard of the organization Thorns?" Xu Tian took a sip of the cold instant noodle soup.
"Yeah." Qiao Jingtian nodded, "You are a small businessman, but you actually know about the gang organization on Wuji Island?"
"Who doesn't know about big gangs like Canglang Palace and Thorns? And as a businessman like me who often deals with people, it wouldn't hurt to know more about gossip, right?"
"You do know how to do business." Qiao Jingtian said with rare certainty.
"The organization Thorns is considered quite powerful on Wuji Island."
When Xu Tian heard this, he silently lit a candle for the Wolf King in his heart again.
They are both dark forces, and Thorns can be recognized by Qiao Jingtian as a good person, while Canglang Palace and Wolf King are just symbols in Qiao Jingtian's eyes, or they are not even symbols, and they can't be found directly.
"Mr. Qiao, do you know anything about the Emperor of Thorns?" Anyway, he would have to deal with the Wuji Martial Arts Association to formulate a plan to attack Thorns, so he might as well take this opportunity to get to know the Emperor of Thorns.
"I don't know him, but I've heard some news about him." Qiao Jingtian said.
"How is this person's strength? Compared with the leader of Canglang Palace, is there a big gap?" Xu Tian asked.
"Well...the gap between the two..." Qiao Jingtian thought for a moment, "They can't be compared together at all."
Xu Tian:……
He now felt that the Wolf King was like an unlucky child.
He causes trouble everywhere, but in fact, his strength is just that of a scumbag. He can do whatever he wants in front of ordinary forces and families, but once he encounters a tough opponent, he will stop immediately.
"Do you think the Emperor of Thorns is very powerful?" Xu Tian spoke again.
"That's right, I've heard of him."
Xu Tian sighed, if Qiao Jingtian can recognize him, it is estimated that this mysterious Emperor of Thorns is indeed very strong.
He knew that the old guys from the Wuji Martial Arts Association had absolutely no good intentions when they asked Canglang Palace to deal with the thorns.
If he succeeds, the Wuji Martial Arts Association will be able to solve a major problem without having to step in.
If he fails and Canglang Palace's vitality is severely damaged, he can still reap the power of the fishing net.
Even if it can't inflict serious damage to Thorns, it can at least significantly reduce the strength of Canglang Palace.
These cunning things!
"These dark forces are not accessible to ordinary people like you." Seeing Xu Tian's thoughtful expression, Qiao Jingtian said again, "You are a businessman, there is no need to deal with them."
"Yeah." Although the words didn't sound very nice, Qiao Jingtian also meant well, so Xu Tian didn't say much.
Originally, Xu Tian did not want to be involved with the dark forces. If he was not forced to bear the identity of Wolf King Ding Yi, he would not even want to stay in Canglang Hall.
But in order to find Tang Bingyan's whereabouts, he can only temporarily take over the identity of the Wolf King.
"Mr. Qiao, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to create your own gang, right?"
