The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 459 Xiao Tian Ce's Invitation
Liu Yu's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "You mean, how am I not dead?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant."
Liu Yu quickly denied it, even though that was exactly what she meant.
"How did you escape from those four S-class ability users?"
Gongzi asked with a curious expression.
"Who's this?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Gongzi, too lazy to respond to his question.
"Mr. Chen, this is Gongzi, the Bei Jing Jun Shen's (Northern Border Army God) right-hand man."
Liu Yu introduced.
Only then did Chen Xiao turn his gaze to Xiao Tian Ce's face.
He had heard Xiao Tian Ce's name and deeds countless times, but today was the first time he had truly seen him.
Upon seeing him, he was indeed as rumored, possessing the qualities of a dragon and a tiger.
His domineering aura was exposed, yet his spirit was hidden within, possessing the demeanor of a great general.
With this, Chen Xiao had already met three of the four great masters of the Tian Bang (Heavenly Ranking).
Compared to Xiao Tian Ce, the other two were far below him in both strength and aura.
"Chen Xiao, hello. My name is Xiao Zhan, I've long admired your name."
Xiao Tian Ce extended his hand towards Chen Xiao, his smile warm and without the slightest hint of insincerity.
Just as Liu Yu had said, although Chen Xiao had tattooed his son's face, Xiao Tian Ce didn't seem to mind.
"Bei Jing Jun Shen (Northern Border Army God), I've long admired you."
Chen Xiao also extended his hand, and the two shook hands lightly.
After the handshake, Xiao Tian Ce couldn't wait to ask, "I heard that Mr. Chen was ambushed by four S-class ability users by the river. I wonder how Chen Xiao resolved the crisis?"
"Just four bugs, not much of a crisis. I just killed them all."
Chen Xiao said casually.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.
Four S-class ability users were killed by Chen Xiao? Was he bragging?
Although they knew that Chen Xiao was strong, it was a bit of an exaggeration to fight four S-class ability users and kill them all.
After hearing this, Gongzi suddenly laughed and patted Xiao Tian Ce on the shoulder, saying, "Hahahaha, Jun Shen (Army God), the younger generation is to be feared! It seems that your position as the number one powerhouse in Hua Guo (China) is in danger..."
Speaking of which, he suddenly changed the subject, "But then again, four S-class ability users, although strong, don't seem to pose much of a threat to you... I'm really looking forward to you two fighting!"
Gongzi's words clearly had a hint of instigation.
He seemed to be praising Chen Xiao, but he also raised Xiao Tian Ce to the same height, opposing him.
However, Xiao Tian Ce didn't fall for his trick at all, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "My great Hua Guo (China) is full of talent. What number one powerhouse is just a false name. I wish there were more great capable people and heroes like Mr. Chen who are willing to serve the country!"
Gongzi curled his lips and rolled his eyes, saying, "Okay, you have a big picture, you have foresight, okay!"
Xiao Tian Ce shook his head with a wry smile. He was also quite helpless with Gongzi.
Gongzi's strength was indeed strong, but sometimes his personality of fearing that the world would not be in chaos was very speechless.
Xiao Tian Ce simply pretended not to hear Gongzi's words and turned to Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Chen is indeed worthy of his reputation. I was worrying too much and underestimated Mr. Chen's strength."
Chen Xiao smiled, noncommittal.
At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, was Hades, the King of the Underworld, also killed by you..."
"What?!"
As soon as Liu Yu said this, Gongzi and Xiao Tian Ce were shocked at the same time.
"Hades, the King of the Underworld, is here too?"
Gongzi shouted out in disbelief.
Chen Xiao said indifferently, "Is the meaning of 'killed them all' difficult to understand?"
Although it was a bit stinky, everyone understood that this sentence meant that Chen Xiao had really killed Hades, the King of the Underworld.
Xiao Tian Ce's face was solemn. He had fought against Hades, the King of the Underworld, and knew his strength very well.
For him, it was not difficult to defeat Hades, the King of the Underworld, but if Hades, the King of the Underworld, wanted to escape, he would be helpless.
This made him realize that he thought he had already overestimated Chen Xiao enough, but Chen Xiao's strength was still much higher than he had imagined.
"Mr. Chen, can I have a word with you in private?"
Xiao Tian Ce asked tentatively.
Chen Xiao saw that the crisis had been resolved, and the next step was to clean up the battlefield, which had nothing to do with him, so he nodded in agreement.
The two came to another room, and Xiao Tian Ce said straight to the point, "Mr. Chen, you have a good skill. Why not take advantage of your youth to join the army and serve the country? I believe that with your ability, you will soon be able to make achievements and become famous all over the world!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and asked with a playful expression, "Jun Shen (Army God) Xiao, you invited me here, could it be that you want to invite me to join the Tian Ce (Heavenly Strategy) Army?"
Xiao Tian Ce nodded, "Mr. Chen is indeed very intelligent. That's exactly what I mean."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Chen Xiao refused without even thinking, "I was born and raised here. It is my duty to serve the country, but joining the Tian Ce (Heavenly Strategy) Army is not for me. That's not my ambition."
Xiao Tian Ce was a little regretful when he heard this, and sighed, "If that's the case, then I won't force it."
"How is your son doing lately?"
The sentence Chen Xiao asked suddenly had a bit of a provocative taste.
As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, and Xiao Tian Ce is the Bei Jing Jun Shen (Northern Border Army God), definitely not a good person.
His son's face was tattooed, which was definitely a great humiliation for him.
It would have been fine if Chen Xiao hadn't said anything, but Chen Xiao took the initiative to mention it. Wasn't this poking at a sore spot?
However, to Chen Xiao's surprise, Xiao Tian Ce was not angry at all, but instead looked ashamed.
"I am ashamed to say that I have devoted all my energy to the army and neglected the discipline of my son. If it wasn't for the last incident, I would still be kept in the dark and would not know that he has gone astray. In that regard, I should thank Mr. Chen."
Xiao Tian Ce said sincerely, not a false platitude, which made Chen Xiao admire him.
Then Xiao Tian Ce smiled slightly, "But he has now been brought by my side, and the experience in the army has made him grow a lot. I believe that when Mr. Chen sees him again, he will definitely look at him with new eyes."
Whether Chen Xiao will look at Xiao Li with new eyes is unknown, but he really looked at Xiao Tian Ce with new eyes.
This is indeed a righteous hero! A pillar of the country!
Chen Xiao's heart was stirred, but on the surface he remained calm and said lightly, "If you have time, Jun Shen (Army God) can let your son come to see me. I can help him remove the tattoo on his face."
Xiao Tian Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, but before he could thank him, he heard Chen Xiao say, "If Jun Shen (Army God) needs my help in the future, just let me know!"
