Chapter 33 I Hate You, Sir Knight

id straightforwardly.Xia Tian stared at Yun Qing's pretty face with an expression that showed he could never get tired of looking at her: "Sis Yun Qing, whatever it is, just say it. I'll do my best to...Chapter 1: The Big and Little Beauties

When Xia Tian returned to the flower shop, he didn't see Sun Xinxin around. Only Fang Xiaoru and Wang Jie were there in the store. Now, Wang Jie had become half an employee of the flower shop since no salary was needed to be paid for him.

Afther asking Fang Xiaoru, she told him that Sun Xinxin went out to buy flowers. The small flower shop didn't have much stock of different kinds of fresh flowers, and with twenty-five fragrant lilies used today, there wouldn't be enough left tomorrow, so Sun Xinxin had to replenish the stocks.

"Ah Xia Tian, Wang Jie said you went out to date Liuyunman. Is that true" Fang Xiaoru asked.

"No, I want to cure her," Xia Tian shook his head.

"You can actually treat illnesses too" Fang Xiaoru was somewhat doubtful.

"Of course!" Xia Tian nodded with certainty, "I am the number one divine doctor in the world!"

"Tsks. As if you were a divine doctor of the first rank," Fang Xiaoru snorted sarcastically.

Xia Tian was too lazy to refute her; he was still thinking about Liuyunman's condition. Though it was serious and weird, there was no doubt that she could be cured with his eight extraordinary acupuncture techniques. The problem was that he couldn't perform them yet in their entirety.

Actually, he could only perform the second needle now because his cultivation wasn’t enough, while curing Liuyunman's illness required him to use the third needle at least.

"With my current speed of increasing power, it would take me another three years before I can execute the third acupuncture needle. That means I must first extend Doctor Sister’s life by another three years, but that seems very difficult!" Xia Tian was somewhat troubled; according to a normal pace, Liuyunman might only have three months left to live. He felt confident about letting her live for an extra year, but three years was quite uncertain.

"Should I speed up my training" The thought occurred to Xia Tian. Given his unique constitution and the nature of his cultivation methods, he was essentially in a state of automatic cultivation at all times. There wasn't really anything he could do to make it go faster unless...

Xia Tian shook his head; that possibility was too small to be reliable. He would have to think of another way.

"Honey, the phone's ringing... Honey, the phone's ringing..." The familiar ringtone interrupted Xia Tian's thoughts.

Xia Tian took out his cell and saw an unfamiliar number. Though somewhat puzzled, he still answered: "Hello Who is it"

"Martial Hero! It’s me, Zhao Qingqing!" A voice brimming with excitement came through the line.

"How did you get my phone number" Xia Tian was a bit confused. He didn't seem to have given her his number

"Martial Hero, don’t you remember You left your number behind when you were giving your statement last night! I asked Bingbing and she told me," Zhao Qingqing quickly explained.

“Oh, what do you want” Xia Tian wasn't particularly interested in the beautiful woman who volunteered to be his concubine.

"Martial Hero, I'm at the taekwondo club right now. I told them that you're an incredible expert, but they don’t believe me and think I’m exaggerating! Why don’t you come over and show them Would that work" Zhao Qingqing spoke loudly as if she wanted everyone to hear her, and Xia Tian could indeed hear voices of others in the background.

"No." Xia Tian flatly refused.

"Come on, Martial Hero! They don't think highly of you. How can you just ignore it" Zhao Qingqing started using reverse psychology.

"To quarrel with them would tarnish my image!" Xia Tian didn't agree and hung up the phone乾脆地掛斷了電話.

Zhao Qingqing made several more calls but Xia Tian refused to answer. After a while, he received a text message: "Sir Knight, you disappoint me too much!"

Xia Tian still ignored it.

Soon after, another text arrived: "Sir Knight, take me as your disciple!!!"

Xia Tian did not respond to this one either.

A few minutes later, a third message came in: "Sir Knight, I hate you!!!"

After receiving that text, Zhao Qingqing stopped bothering Xia Tian and he finally got some peace.

Mǎ Xióngbīn was sitting in the chairman's office of the Sky Horse Group but his expression was rather gloomy. After being threatened by Xia Tian last night, he immediately followed what Xia Tian said. However, this didn't mean that he wanted to let it go so easily. Although Xia Tian had mentioned not wanting to kill him, trusting others wasn't as reliable as trusting oneself. Thus, in the morning, Mǎ Xióngbīn began having people look into Xia Tian’s background. Unfortunately, there was still no news by now.

"Brother Ma!" A man in his forties appeared at the door.

"Old Seventh, you're here! Come in quickly!" Mǎ Xióngbīn hurriedly got up to greet him. After Old Seventh entered, he closed the office door.

Handing an cigarette to Lao Qi, Ma Xiongbing lowered his voice and asked, "Have you found out What’s the deal with that kid"

Lao Qi took a hard drag on the cigarette and shook his head. "Boss Ma, this situation is kind of complicated."

"What do you mean by that" The expression on Ma Xiongbing's face changed slightly. "Does he have some big background But I heard from people that he’s just a delivery boy for flowers in a small flower shop."

Ma Xiongbing had received this information from Tian Xiaoya, whom he paid handsomely to spy on Xia Tian and find out more about Xia Chuang. Unfortunately, even with such an expenditure of money, the results were still very limited.

"Boss Ma, it seems as if that kid appeared out of nowhere in Jianghai City only a few days ago. But I found some information about him through a friend who’s a detective," Lao Qi said and shook his head. "Although I’m not sure what background he comes from, if you haven’t got any deep-seated hatred against the guy, then it would be best to stay out of his way."

"Lao Qi, since we’re brothers in this business, there’s no need for me to hide anything from you," Ma Xiongbing said with a sour look. "You know about that slut Tian Xiaoya. I originally wanted to take care of Sun Tianyu, but last night, that kid showed up at my villa and demanded I let Tian Xiaoya go and not provoke Sun Tianyu further, or else he would deal with me instead. It’s kind of a big deal but it’s also not such a big issue if you just ignore him."

“But if there’s an opportunity to get rid of that kid, I’d prefer not to hold back," Ma Xiongbing added.

"If that is the case, Boss Ma, then it would be better for you to swallow your pride and endure it!" Lao Qi said with a bitter smile. "That kid has been causing quite a commotion recently. Su Ziqiang from the Su family was beaten up by him and sent to the hospital unconscious, but he woke up on his own after a few hours. The forensic doctors couldn’t find any signs of injury on him… Boss Ma, if this boy wants to take someone’s life, there might not be enough evidence left behind."

Ma Xiongbing's expression changed again: "Is that true Didn't the Su family do anything about it"

"It’s really strange. The Su family decided not to pursue any legal action against him, and there seems to be some kind of connection between Xia Chuang and the Su family," Lao Qi said as he frowned. "Besides, something big happened at the police station recently. Huang Aiping got sick and threatened his colleagues with a gun, demanding that they get Cold Bingbing married to him on the spot, but who do you think solved this issue"

Lao Qi answered his own question: “It was Xia Chuang again. He had been handcuffed at the time, yet managed to break free from them and take away Huang Aiping's gun when he fired it. Honestly speaking, if I hadn’t received a very convincing report about this incident from my detective friend, I would’ve thought he was lying."

Ma Xiongbing’s expression darkened: "I do believe that kid has some exceptional abilities. Last night in my villa, with his bare hands, he crumpled up a kitchen knife as if it were dough."

"Brother Ma, forget it, she's just a woman."

"Old Seventh, this isn't about a woman, but about face." Ma Xiongbing shook his head. "Most importantly, I'm afraid that kid will still come to kill me someday."

"Brother Ma, you're overthinking it. He has no grudge against you; as long as you don't provoke him, he won't bother you." Old Seventh said with a shake of his head.

"Oh right, Brother Ma," Old Seventh remembered something else. "My friend also told me an unconfirmed piece of news."

"What news" Ma Xiongbing asked in haste.

"Summer is Qiao Xiaoqiao's husband." Old Seventh replied.

"What Which Qiao Xiaoqiao" Ma Xiongbing was stunned.

"That Qiao Xiaoqiao," Old Seventh seemed exasperated. "The reason it can't be confirmed is that the Qiao family doesn't seem to acknowledge it."

Ma Xiongbing was speechless for a moment.

A while later, Ma Xiongbing sighed in frustration: "Forget it, Old Seventh, I'll listen to you and endure!"

Old Seventh nodded. "Brother Ma, then I'll take my leave."

"Alright, next time I'll invite the guys over for a drink." Ma Xiongbing seemed listless.

The Seventh Brother quickly left but felt somewhat uneasy because he could tell that Ma Xiongbing still had some lingering dissatisfaction.

This made the Seventh Brother feel rather nostalgic. Before Ma Xiongbing became successful, he could endure anything, even sending his wife away with his own hands. But now, it was just a mistress, and yet it was so hard for him to accept. It really proved that saying— the more money one has, the bigger their temper.

Summer found himself extremely bored; previously, he could still entertain himself by appreciating beautiful women, but with Sun Xinxin not around now, even his last source of enjoyment had vanished.

"Fatso, do you know anything fun" Summer asked. Fang Xiaoru called Wang Jie "fatso" every day, so everyone else started calling him that too.

Wang Jie smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh, boss, I usually just browse the internet when I'm idle."

"Is browsing the Internet fun" Summer asked.

Wang Jie knew that Summer was completely clueless about computers and didn't find it strange for him to ask such a silly question. "It's okay, you can do many things online: chat, read news, play games..."

"Summer, if you want to go online, you could let Xinxin teach you. She has a computer, right" Fang Xiaoru interjected.

“Really” Summer was genuinely unaware of this.

Fang Xiaoru looked at him with some surprise and said, "Of course she does! I've been to her place before— there's a computer in her room. Hey, aren't you guys sleeping together Have you never entered Xinxin’s bedroom”s smashed against the car window, shattering it into pieces."Aunt Tian, Brother Jie, get out of the car quickly!" Black Three, who was driving, hurriedly opened the door and jumped out. The car couldn...
