25 Xiao ZhanQi Tian wondered in his heart, "Why didn't the dean come?"
Logically speaking, since he was a student of Notting College, shouldn't outsiders who wanted to see him go through the dean? From this, it can be seen that Xiao Chenyu's father was probably a person who didn't like to beat around the bush.
"Hello, Lord City Lord." Qi Tian bowed slightly.
"Dad, this is Qi Tian." Xiao Chenyu's voice trembled a little. The person in front of him frightened him to the extreme.
The man nodded slightly, then stretched out his broad palm and patted the seat next to him, "Come and sit down."
Qi Tian sat on his left.
Xiao Chenyu's father is named Xiao Zhan, the lord of Notting City and also the strongest person in Notting City.
Qi Tian didn't know his exact strength, but he most likely hadn't broken through to the Soul King level.
"I heard from Xiaoyu that you saved his life!"
After sitting down, Xiao Zhan's heavy voice sounded again.
"My Lord City Lord, I was just passing by and happened to see that scene." Qi Tian did not dare to take credit for it.
He was not familiar with the person in front of him, and most importantly, he did not know why the other party came to see him. If he said something wrong, he might cause trouble for the dean.
Xiao Zhan picked up the wine glass in front of him and filled it up. "Xiao Yu is not strong enough. He took the initiative to pick a fight but couldn't beat others. This is his own problem."
"But Xiaoyu is my son. If someone dares to harm his life in Notting City, it would be a slap in my face!"
Qi Tian didn't respond, feeling a little uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan suddenly changed the subject and said, "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since you saved Xiaoyu's life, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me if you have any problems in the future."
"Lord City Lord, I just did what I should do. Xiao Chenyu and I are classmates, and it is our duty to help each other. I have never thought of asking for anything." Qi Tian said hurriedly.
He didn't want to have too much contact with these nobles now.
After all, in the eyes of the nobles, he had no weight at all and could even be discarded at will.
There was no sign of joy or anger on Xiao Zhan's face. Seeing that his glass was empty, Xiao Chenyu hurriedly refilled it for him.
"Brother Su has told me about your talent. You are quite good. I intend to have you join my family. If you agree, you will be Xiaoyu's elder brother in the future. He must ask for your opinion on what he wants to do in the future."
"Of course, you will get a corresponding quota of the family's resources every month."
Qi Tian laughed dryly in his heart, this was clearly an attempt to adopt a godson.
With the plans he had for the future in mind, he could not cut off his own hands and feet now and confine himself to the small city of Nottingham.
In Douluo Continent, a person can only join one family or force at most. Even if they agree to withdraw, they will be accused of being disloyal and unjust.
Notting City is just the starting point of Qi Tian's career as a soul master. He cannot trap himself here for the rest of his life.
[Triggering event, Xiao Zhan's recruitment. ]
[Choice 1, accept the offer; reward: increase strength attribute by 20 points]
[Choice 2, refuse the offer and receive a dummy as a substitute]
Seeing the subtitles appearing in his mind, Qi Tian did not speak in a hurry.
Of course you have to refuse, but the question is how to say it so as not to get yourself into trouble.
"Is there anything you can't hide?" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask when he saw that the other party didn't answer.
Qi Tian thought for a moment and said, "Lord City Lord, how can a sparrow have the ambition to become a swan? Joining your family will indeed guarantee my cultivation, but in the long run, I will lose the motivation to move forward. So I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation."
"Hahaha." Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Brother Su, I didn't misjudge you. Never mind, I just mentioned it casually. With a talent like yours, the three major sects will definitely be vying for you."
At the beginning, Xiao Zhan didn't have the intention to recruit Qi Tian.
Once Qi Tian's talent is revealed, there will definitely be many forces coming to snatch him away. Xiao Zhan has been in the spirit master world for so long, so naturally he doesn't want to get into trouble.
As for whether he has other thoughts, I'm afraid only he himself knows.
"The Tiandou Empire needs talents. After you graduate from Notting College, I can recommend a good place for you."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a dummy to serve as a death substitute. It has been delivered to the host's soul guide.]
Xiao Zhan waved his hand and corrected him, "I have been friends with your dean for twenty years. From now on, you can call me Uncle Xiao. Xiaoyu will graduate in one year. If you have any questions during this year, you can go to Xiaoyu. If you have any questions later, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to find me."
He is a man of character. Qi Tian felt a little fond of Xiao Zhan. At least he never looked down on his background.
"Brother Qitian, please give me your guidance in the future." Xiao Chenyu said hurriedly.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they started eating.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Zhan waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Chenyu should have more contact with Qi Tian.
Outside the cafeteria, Qi Tian asked curiously: "Uncle Xiao, have you ever thought about causing trouble for Tang San?"
Xiao Chenyu shook his head, and said with lingering fear: "My father would not embarrass Tang San for such a thing. Before you came, my father told me that the spirit master world is very bloody, and without sufficient strength, you will be eaten up quickly. Losing to Tang San, at least my life is still there. If it were in the spirit master world, I would probably have died long ago."
"Hey~ I will graduate next year. With my talent, I am afraid the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy will not accept me. By then, I will most likely leave the family and go out to explore the world for a few years. I hope I can come back after you graduate."
"But Qi Tian, I heard from my family that there are records of soul masters with full innate soul power on the mainland. After six years in the junior soul master academy, they can probably cultivate to around level 26. You can keep this standard as a reference and try not to fall behind."
Qi Tian smiled and nodded, saying no more.
Xiao Chenyu was telling the truth. In the world of soul masters, if you don't have the strength of a Soul Master, you won't know when an arrow will pierce your heart when you are out there wandering around.
Qi Tian looked through the system panel in his mind.
The dummy rewarded by the system looks good.
When facing difficulties, as long as he takes out the dummy, it will immediately transform into his appearance. And he will also be randomly teleported a distance away.
This is a rare life-saving item.
After Qi Tian left, Su Changqing entered the cafeteria private room.
He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, let me tell you, Xiaotian has his own ideas. Joining your family will indeed help him in the short term, but after ten years, your family will become a burden to him. Life is long, and ten years is just a blink of an eye. It is normal that he will not agree to your recruitment, so don't be discouraged."
Xiao Zhan poured another glass of wine and said with a wry smile: "If he joins my family, our family will surely soar in the future."
Su Changqing rolled his eyes: "Oh? Then in the future, will your family be named Xiao or Qi?"
Xiao Zhan was a little stunned, then waved his hand, "No more talking, no more talking, let's have a drink together."
