Chapter 1620 The Past



They were shocked when Xiao Tian said he only started learning martial arts four years ago.

'What?!'

Some of them fell on their butt again.

"Did you really start learning martial arts four years ago?" Wu Lei inquired.

"I'm sure you know what happened to my family and me in the past." Xiao Tian responded, "We were kicked out of the Xiao family, and the Ye family removed us from the family tree, so all I did in the past was study and study." 

Xiao Tian then continued, "That was why I could only start learning martial arts four years ago. Maybe I could have mastered the seventh form if I had not busy developing my company."

He had mastered the secret techniques up to the seventh form in his previous life, so he was confident he could master the seventh form if he had not busy growing his company.

Of course, he did not regret it because being a rich man was his predecessor's dream.

"Haha. I've practiced martial arts for thirty years, but I can only master the secret techniques up to the third form. I'm even still at the high-level master stage. Should I stop learning martial arts today?" 

"Maybe I should also stop practicing martial arts because I can only master the secret techniques up to the second form, and I'm only at the mid-level master stage."

"It seems like I'm not talented in martial arts."

"I have finally realized how bad my talent is." 

"Does that mean he can master all the secret techniques if he trains in martial arts for thirty years like me?"

Some of them laughed in depression when they found out that Xiao Tian could master up to the sixth secret technique in only four years.

Something like this had never happened before. 

Even their late patriarch, one of the best martial artists in China, could only master the sixth secret technique when he was in his forties.

Then didn't this mean Xiao Tian was much better than their late patriarch?

This was the reason why they felt like they were trash and not talented in martial arts because Xiao Tian was like God's son.

"Now it's your time to answer my question. What happened to your martial arts school? And was it really my father's family who destroyed your martial arts school?" Xiao Tian repeated his questions.

"It's like this…." Wu Lei began telling the truth.

In the past, there were three branches of the Moon Sword Martial Arts School; the main, second, and third.

One day, an unknown group suddenly appeared in the main and second branches. The people from that unknown group were powerful.

Even though they lost many people when they fought the main branch, they could easily destroy the second branch.

Wu Lei and the others were from the third branch. They decided to hide from that unknown group when they knew what had happened to the main and second branches.

They were weaker than the people from the main and second branches, so they knew what would happen if they fought that unknown group.

However, the goddess of luck was not on their side. That unknown group appeared in front of them before they could hide. 

Even though Wu Lei and the others managed to escape from that group, but they lost many people in the process.

This was the reason why they only had thirty people now because more than one hundred people died when they tried to run away from that unknown group.

"They wore black clothes and covered their faces when they attacked us, so we still don't know who they are until now." Wu Lei was sad when he said this to Xiao Tian because he remembered his dead brothers and sisters.

Not only Wu Lei but Shangguan Wan'er and the others were also sad. Even though they were not strong, but they lived happily in the past.

"After investigating, we are ninety-nine percent certain that they belong to the Xiao family." Wu Lei uttered, "However, we received some shocking news recently." 

"What is it?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

"We are still not sure about this, but we suspect they were raised by several families, not just the Xiao family." Wu Lei knew about this information last year. 

"A few families? Do you know which families they are?" Xiao Tian threw another question at Wu Lei. 

"No." Wu Lei shook his head.

"Then why did they attack your martial arts school?" this was the question that Xiao Tian wanted to know the most.

"Your father had a close relationship with the patriarch of the main branch. We suspected we got dragged into your father's problem with his brothers and sister." Wu Lei and the others suspected it was because of the inheritance. 

"Does everyone in this village know who you are?" Xiao Tian inquired.

Because they said they were from the Moon Sword Martial Arts School, that meant Wu Lei and the others were not people from Solaris.

This was the reason why he wanted to know whether the villagers knew about this or not.

"They know." Wu Lei responded, "They know everything. They let us live with them because they feel sorry for our situation."

Wu Lei also told Xiao Tian that the previous village head was his close friend. 

When the previous village head died, he asked Wu Lei to become the next village chief and protect his people.

At first, Wu Lei refused because he was not a local. However, he changed his mind when the villagers agreed with the previous village head's decision.

As long as he would protect the villagers and become a good village head, the villagers would not mind it.

This was the reason why he could become the village chief of Solaris village.

"That is the reason why we will protect the villagers even if we have to sacrifice ourselves because they give us a place to live." Wu Lei uttered. 

"That's right." Shangguan Wan'er and the others said in unison.

"Then, my last question. Do you guys hate me?" Xiao Tian inquired.
