There are still three full days before this year's Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition, so Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and Chen Ze were not in a hurry after confirming the news.
For Qin Tian, in fact, he has always consciously maintained his state, so that he can enter combat status as soon as possible no matter what happens or emergencies arise.
And no matter what kind of opponent he faces, Qin Tian can exert his strongest strength.
So Qin Tian doesn't have to worry about anything in this regard, and there's no need to be anxious.
The most important thing for Qin Tian in the next three days is to ensure that the news of his participation in the Jiangnan Competition is not leaked.
In particular, the people in Shemen must not know about the cooperation between him and Li Jiangtao. Once the people in Shemen get the news in advance, it will not cause Qin Tian and Li Jinrui to fail in their previous preparations.
But it will definitely make Shemen prepare before the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference begins, so as to target them.
Even if Qin Tian wins the final victory, he will definitely have to work harder, and some accidents may even occur in the process.
Qin Tian has always been a person who pursues safety. If he can win the final victory and achieve his goal steadily, Qin Tian will definitely not take risks.
Unless the ratio between risk and return is really too great, Qin Tian may take risks and do something more radical.
Therefore, for the people of the security office and the Li family, the matter of Qin Tian's cooperation with the Li family was directly classified as top secret. No one except the top leaders of both parties could know this information.
Qin Tian didn't have anything too important to do during these three days, and he had enough time to do what he wanted to do every day.
Of course, Qin Tian did not waste these three days. Instead, he walked around various places in the city every day, especially after dressing up and entering Linjiang District to familiarize himself with the environment.
By the way, I asked passers-by about the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament. Most of the people who were able to come to Haicheng and enter Linjiang District at this time came for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament.
Although the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament is aimed at the various powerful forces and families in the Jiangnan region, ordinary people can also come to watch the tournament.
This is a grand event. As long as you can come to the venue of the tournament during the beginning of the tournament and pay a ticket fee, you can watch it live.
Therefore, many people who know about the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament will come over at this time to watch the showdown between the strong ones.
Because the ticket price is extremely high and cannot be afforded by ordinary people, the people who can come here are all people with very good financial strength, at least in the middle class or above of society.
In these three days, Qin Tian traveled almost throughout Linjiang District, and because Qin Tian concealed his identity very well, no one knew that Qin Tian was here.
It's possible that Qin Tian would meet members of the Snake Sect on the road, but of course no one would recognize him on the road.
Unknowingly, three days passed so quickly, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference was finally about to officially begin.
Two days before the bigu competition started, Qin Tian could already feel the undercurrent in Linjiang District, although no fights were allowed at the competition site except on the ring.
But after all, the major families and forces came here to compete for the interests of the Jiangnan region and to divide the cake for the next year.
Therefore, a lot of friction often breaks out between competitors and even enemies. In addition to not fighting over taboos in public places, there are often verbal conflicts and insults, or slight physical friction.
This caused the temperature in the entire Linjiang District to rise slightly, and everyone could feel it. Once the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament was held, it would definitely become quite exciting and intense.
Moreover, the competition between major families and forces may be much more intense this year than in previous years.
…
On the morning of the third day, Li Jinrui knocked on Qin Tian's door early.
"Mr. Qin, this year's Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition is about to begin. We will set off when you are ready."
"The people from the Li family are also preparing to join you and enter Linjiang District together."
Hearing Li Jinrui's voice outside, Qin Tian quickly packed himself up, then opened the door and said to Li Jinrui.
"You go to the restaurant to have dinner with Xiao Chen first. I'll clean up and be right back."
Li Jinrui nodded and then took his apprentice Chen Ze to the restaurant to have breakfast.
This is a five-star luxury hotel, so unlimited breakfast is served every morning, and even meals are provided at noon and evening.
Except for Qin Tian and Li Jinrui who had dinner here when they first came here and were unfamiliar with the place, they usually went to other places in Haicheng to eat out.
After all, after finally coming to Haicheng, of course I wanted to taste the local food here.
Soon after, Qin Tian also came to the restaurant to meet Li Jinrui and Chen Ze. The three of them had breakfast while chatting about the upcoming Jiangnan martial arts competition.
"Mr. Qin, Director Lin called me this morning. He said that people suspected of having a snake sect have begun to take action for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference."
"And the masters they invited should also come from major sects in the ancient martial arts world. I hope you can prepare in advance after getting this information, but don't be careless."
After hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Haha, are you a master in the ancient martial arts world? Then I want to see what kind of strength the other party has. I have to say that after hearing this news from you, I suddenly became a little eager to give it a try."
Li Jinrui was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed like Qin Tian. After all, he and Qin Tian were already very familiar old friends, and he knew very well how powerful Qin Tian was.
Not to mention the experts in the ancient martial arts world, even if the Shemen could invite those old monsters who had been living in seclusion for many years, they would probably not be Qin Tian's opponent at all.
Qin Tian's strength has long been beyond the scope of ordinary people, and can even be said to be almost the same as the supernatural abilities in TV and movies.
It can be said that as long as the thugs found by the Shemen do not have superhuman strength or any ability in fantasy cultivation, they will not be Qin Tian's opponent at all.
But for Qin Tian, although he was confident in his own strength, the Waterloo he encountered when he wanted to capture Lord Ye last time still made Qin Tian worried.
Until now, a long time has passed since that incident, but Qin Tian still hasn't figured out why Master Ye was able to block his full attack.
Moreover, when he fought Master Ye, he clearly didn't feel any special aura on his body, but he was able to stand up to himself.
This gave Qin Tian a vague feeling of uneasiness. Qin Tian could not tell where this feeling came from, nor could he predict what would happen in the future.
But this feeling made Qin Tian extremely vigilant. The next Jiangnan martial arts competition was about to begin. Even though Qin Tian looked very relaxed on the surface, he seemed to be indifferent to everything.
But only Qin Tian himself knows that it is impossible for him to underestimate his opponent, and he will go all out in every subsequent battle.
A few people were chatting about the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition while eating breakfast. After eating, Li Jinrui received a message from Lin Qingyun.
"Old Li, the Li family has sent someone to pick you up at the door of the hotel. When will you go out? After all, we are only on an equal partnership. I think it is better not to neglect them too much."
"And after all, I invited the people from the Li family. It's a bit embarrassing for me to do this to save my face."
After hearing this, Li Jinrui immediately replied.
"Mr. Qin and I will go out right away. Please let them wait for a few more minutes."
After ending the call, Li Jinrui spoke to Qin Tian very seriously.
"Mr. Qin, the car sent by the Ye family has parked in front of the hotel. Let's go there quickly. We've almost finished breakfast."
Qin Tian nodded without saying anything. He simply wiped his mouth and walked out of the hotel with Li Jinrui and Chen Ze.
Sure enough, as soon as the three of them walked out of the door, they saw a luxury car parked on the street in front of them. The driver inside was sitting in the driver's seat wearing a crisp suit and sunglasses, which gave people a rather majestic feeling.
As soon as Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and others arrived in front of the car, Li Jiangtao got out of the passenger seat and greeted Qin Tian and others with a smile.
"Mr. Qin and Mr. Li, you are finally here. I haven't heard any news from you in the past few days. I can't help but beat the drum in my heart."
After hearing this, Li Jinrui said jokingly.
"What's wrong, Mr. Li, are you still worried that Mr. Qin and I will be afraid of the Snake Gate and suddenly run away?"
Li Jiangtao quickly shook his head and continued.
"Of course not. Of course I believe it is impossible for Mr. Qin to do such a thing. However, we have only known each other for a short time. It is normal for me to be a little worried."
"Okay, you two, let's hurry up and head to the official site of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament. Although the Martial Arts Tournament will most likely not officially start until noon or afternoon, this is a grand event after all."
"Even the pre-dinner desserts and warm-up activities before the official start of the tournament are very interesting. There are some ways to play that you two may also be very interested in."
After all, Chen Ze is Li Jinrui's apprentice, and he is also the youngest among them in age, so Li Jiangtao slightly ignored Chen Ze when he spoke.
Of course, Chen Ze would not feel any dissatisfaction in his heart. It could be said that Chen Ze, who worked beside Qin Tian and his master, was already familiar with this feeling.
Whether you are performing tasks or doing anything outside, as long as you communicate and cooperate with others, the other party will often treat you as a little transparent or a follower.
Chen Ze also knows that he is inferior to Qin Tian and Li Jinrui in terms of ability and appearance, so he has always been very clear about his position and identity, and will not do anything to embarrass everyone.
Several people quickly got into the car, and then the car drove directly towards Linjiang District, quickly heading to the venue of this Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference.
While in the car, Li Jiangtao kept sharing some of the intelligence and news he had recently obtained with Qin Tian and Li Jinrui.
"The competition in the Jiangnan Tournament this time should be much more intense than in previous years. Because the economy in the Jiangnan region has not been very good in recent years, everyone's strength has declined."
"But the harder the economy gets, the more everyone has to fight for the cake that is not very big in the first place."
"The competitiveness of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament has actually been rising steadily in recent years, but it should reach a new peak this year, so Mr. Qin, you must be fully prepared."
"The arena battle in this Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition is very fierce and cruel. Only when one of the parties voluntarily admits defeat will the competition officially end."
"But if you don't say these three words, I admit defeat, then it will be acquiesced that the game will continue until the two sides decide the winner and end the meeting, and the condition for this end is that one of the people on the field dies!"
"So Mr. Qin, if you lose to your opponent in a ring battle, don't be too showy. You must surrender in time and admit defeat. Otherwise, you may not even have the chance to admit defeat when facing someone who is too powerful or ruthless. No."
"In the past, people like this would appear in every Jiangnan martial arts competition, and every time there would be many people who were too late to admit defeat or were too arrogant, causing their own lives to stay here."
"Mr. Qin, you are the hero of our hometown and a partner of our Li family, so you must retreat in time when necessary."
Although Li Jiangtao's words seemed to undermine his own ambition and enhance the prestige of others, Qin Tian also knew that this was a kind reminder from Li Jiangtao.
After all, people have died in the ring in the past, and Li Jiangtao said this because he didn't want to make the same mistakes as those people.
So Qin Tian smiled softly and nodded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, if it comes to a time when I am invincible, I will definitely surrender and withdraw as soon as possible."
"And I believe that once I appear in the Snake Sect's sight, they will definitely regard me as a thorn in their side and send out the most powerful thugs to kill me!"
"I will never let them succeed. As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood to keep the green hills. If they really have the ability to threaten my life, then I will withdraw."
After Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Jinrui and Li Jiangtao, who were standing beside him, both nodded in relief.
Although Li Jinrui has considerable confidence in Qin Tian's strength, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition is after all a grand event in the entire Jiangnan region, and it is unknown how many strong men and geniuses will emerge.
Even though Li Jiangtao knew that Qin Tian was very powerful, he couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart. (End of chapter)
