"I only told you these things because I drank a little bit tonight because I felt a little depressed. Your mouth really isn't good. How dare you curse me!" Zhao Gang said angrily.
"Lordmaster, with this body of yours, you must have a long life of a hundred …" Cough cough, it's two hundred years old! " Xu Taiping quickly corrected himself.
"Two hundred years old. I don't dare to think about it. My old man might be able to live for two hundred years, but I won't be able to. " Zhao Jin shook his head and said.
"Your father lived to the age of two hundred … Isn't this a joke? Didn't the Old Ancestor lose his youth because of you? " Xu Taiping laughed.
"Who said he was gone?" Zhao Gang asked.
Xu Taiping froze for a moment, then looked at Zhao Gang in disbelief, "You mean … Old Ancestor … Still alive? "
"I don't know if he's still alive or not, but last year, I received a letter from him. He was in Europe then, and had his own life." Zhao Jin said.
"Last year … Was it really last year? "Old gramps, is it really the Old Ancestor, Zhao Tie-zhu?" Xu Taiping asked excitedly.
"Yes, he is different from me. He had faked his death decades ago and left the Zhao Family. Every few years, he would write to me to prove that he is still alive." Zhao Jin said.
"Isn't that too scary? If he's still alive, wouldn't he be a hundred and fifty years old?" Xu Taiping said in shock.
"More or less, but you have to know, humans, theoretically speaking, have a lifespan of 160 years. The current technology is so advanced, and those who have lived past 100 years are more numerous than ever. Those who have lived before, those who have lived past 112 years, can basically live up to 123 years. It's normal for him to be like that." Zhao Jin said.
"Normal... This … You guys are way beyond my understanding. " Xu Taiping said with a sigh. Originally, he had thought that Zhao Gang was quite miraculous, but now he had heard about something even more magical. Zhao Tianzhu was actually still alive.
These two could be said to be living fossils.
He left the Zhao Family to avoid being treated as an old monster by others, and also to avoid being disturbed by the secular world. If he stayed outside alone, he might find a new friend, a new lover, and start a new life.
No matter what, this life was better than being offered up like an old monster in the Zhao Family.
"I admire this old man's character, but I can't learn it. To start over in another place requires a great deal of courage." Zhao Jin said.
"Will that old man still return?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Who knows? Last time, he said in his letter that he might never see us again in this lifetime." Zhao Jin said.
"Sigh!" Xu Taiping sighed. It would be great if he could see the founder of the Zhao Family with his own eyes.
The reason why the Zhao Family was the Tian Family of China was because the Zhao Family had produced two great families.
Of the two heads of the family, one was called Zhao Tie-zhu and the other was named Zhao Tie-zhu. Zhao Tie-zhu was Zhao Tie-zhu's son.
Zhao Tie-zhu had single-handedly taken over the Zhao Family's foundation. Before Zhao Tie-zhu, the Zhao Family was only one of the Four Great Clans in the capital. In Zhao Tie-zhu's hands, the Zhao Family became the strongest one among the Four Great Clans.
With the foundation laid by Zhao Tie-zhu, there was then the Zhao Jia-wei, which was established by Zhao Gang.
Xu Taiping had already seen Zhao Gang's money. If he could see the rest of Zhao Tianzhu, then Xu Taiping wouldn't die without any regrets. It would definitely be worth it for the rest of his life.
"One more thing." Zhao Jin said.
"What else is there?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Investigate your father's death, if you can." That's your dad, so... I want you to investigate it yourself. I've been suppressing this matter to wait for you. "
"The cause of my father's death …" Xu Taiping's pupils shrank, and then he said, "We'll see."
"I'm going to bed. I'll see you again when I get the chance!" Zhao Jin waved to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping nodded and turned to leave.
The night passed in silence.
The next day, Xu Taiping did not rush home.
Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door to Xu Taiping's room.
The person was wearing the uniform of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
"Mr. Xu, the president invites you to go to the Martial Arts Hall for a chat." As he said that, he took out a plate that represented the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
"Martial Arts Club? "What is it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's a theme club set up by our Chinese Martial Arts Association. It's mainly responsible for receiving members of the Chinese Martial Arts Association." The person said.
"Why is Zhao Qingshan looking for me?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't know about that." The person said with a smile.
Xu Taiping thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying this, Xu Taiping went back to his room, changed his clothes, and followed him out of the hotel, towards the so-called Martial Arts Competition Hall.
The location of the Martial Arts School was very good, just around the border from the Forbidden City.
It was hard to describe the location with an inch of land. It was said that one couldn't even buy a four-sided courtyard with one billion yuan. The Martial Arts Competition was in a four-sided courtyard at the side of the Forbidden City, and it was also a big courtyard.
"This place isn't cheap, is it?" Xu Taiping walked behind a waiter and asked.
"The rent alone is about twenty million a year." The waiter explained.
"Twenty million... One million yuan a month, that's still okay! " Xu Taiping nodded.
After passing through a courtyard, Xu Taiping was brought into a small courtyard.
At this moment, there were already many people in the small courtyard.
Zhao Qingshan, Zhang Yuande, Yu Guan Hong, Grandmaster Dan Xin, Grandmaster Wu Chen and Chen Lingyun.
The six people from the highest level of the Chinese Martial Arts Association were all here.
Zhang Yuande looked much better than yesterday, while the others all had different expressions. Some had smiles on their faces while others were frowning.
"What business do you have with me?" Xu Taiping walked to the middle of them all and asked with a smile.
"Sect Leader Zhang, you tell me." Zhao Qingshan said.
"En!" Zhang Yuande nodded, then looked at Xu Taiping and said with a serious face, "Should I call you Xu Taiping, or Li Xunhuan?"
"Oh?" Xu Taiping smiled and asked, "Sect Leader Zhang, what do you mean by that?"
At that time, we were already suspecting that you were related to Li Xunhuan. The day before yesterday, at Old Master Zhao's birthday banquet, you used your flesh to block the attack of the attacker, and at that time, you used the large success iron cloth shirt. Regardless of whether it was the throwing dagger skill or the iron cloth shirt, they were both things that Li Xunhuan excelled in the most. We believe that you are the Li Xunhuan who shone so brilliantly at the summit of Mount Hua the other day. Zhang Yuande said seriously.
"Hahaha, so smart. You even know about this?" He did not deny everything Zhang Yuande said, but he did not admit it either. In fact, the day before yesterday, when he used the iron shirt, Xu Taiping thought that the Chinese Martial Arts Association would recognize him, but in that moment of desperation, he did not have the time to care about this. And today, the purpose of the invitation from the Chinese Martial Arts Association, Xu Taiping had already roughly known, so he did not deny Zhang De's words.
"Although we don't walk in the martial arts world often, that doesn't mean we don't have brains." Zhang Yuande said.
"So now that you all think I'm Li Xunhuan, let me ask you a question. Is it really that important if I'm not Li Xunhuan?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's really not important." Zhao Qingshan slightly smiled and said, "We just want to confirm this matter, that's all."
"I even thought that if all of you confirmed that I was Li Xunhuan, then you would hunt me down throughout the world!" Xu Taiping glanced at Zhang Yuande with a smile.
"Why are they chasing you all over the world? You are a member of our Chinese martial arts association, how can we chase and kill you? " Zhao Qingshan shook his head.
"Not necessarily." Xu Taiping glanced at Zhang Yuande with a faint smile.
"Although you tried to slander my Wudang Sect that day, the grievances and grievances of our Wudang Sect have long been wiped clean. Our Wudang Sect, on the other hand, is a sect with a broad heart, for what you have done to the Wudang Sect, we can let bygones be bygones!" Zhang Yuande said.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Zhang!" Xu Taiping clasped his fists and said.
"Xu Taiping, if you really are Li Xunhuan, you can brazenly admit that we don't have any conflicts with her. I believe that even if you appear in front of us like Li Xunhuan, we won't say anything!" Yu Guan Hong said.
"Li Xunhuan is Li Xunhuan, I'm me." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "No matter which one is in front of you, you just need to remember, I'm very powerful, and that's enough! Tell me your purpose for coming today. It's not possible that you all gathered together just to say that I'm Li Xunhuan, right? "
"Today's purpose? Didn't I say before? Today, my goal is to recommend you to become a member of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Zhao Qingshan said.
"Become a committee member? This is no problem! " Xu Taiping agreed. For Xu Taiping, the Hua Xia Martial Arts Association might not be as strong as the Zhao Family, but it was still very strong and the committee member was the middle and upper management of the China Martial Arts Association. If he became a committee member, then he would be like a fish in water in the China Martial Arts Association.
"Haha, I don't think you will reject the position of a member of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. After all, such a member represents too many things!" Yu Guan Hong said with a smile. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
