Chapter 8 [Intimidation]
Tantai Qi's cell phone was quickly found. Ge Xian came to him, reached out and tapped a few drowsy acupuncture points on his body, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, unable to wake up on his own in a short time, and then picked him up with one hand. After testing it with my fingers, I successfully unlocked the phone and entered it.
Ge Xian began to browse quickly and found that most of the information on his mobile phone was very clean. Not only were all social and financial apps locked, but he also maintained the habit of clearing chat records every day, which was almost abnormal.
"As expected of you." Ge Xian glanced at the sleeping partner. With his energy, he could clearly sense Tantai Qi's breathing and heartbeat.
However, there are always exceptions. In a very niche social chat tool, there is still a chat window on the slightly simple and rough interface. Perhaps it was not reserved deliberately by Tantai Qi, but by the other party after he cleared the records. New content has been sent, so the message is displayed as unread.
The two chatted in English. Fortunately, Ge Xian was not bad at English now, so it was easy to understand the content of their chat.
The other party roughly said, "Master Tantai, I'm sorry. The other party's action against Ge Xian failed again. We were all a little careless. Ge Xian is not a helpless person. I'm afraid we have to pay attention to him and can no longer take him lightly." Of."
Then, the other party mentioned that the organization that had sent the professional thugs not only paid double the bounty this time, but also stated that they would kill Ge Xian at all costs to express their apology to their employer and to maintain the underground organization. A reputation.
The identity of the other party made Ge Xian suspicious. He used three English abbreviations "XMJ". Ge Xian tried to spell it out, and his face suddenly showed an incredible look.
"It's her!" Ge Xian suddenly thought of Xu Mengjie. If this is a coincidence, then it is too coincidental. Both of them are the most powerful candidates for the quota of recommended students for the senior year of high school. He suddenly appeared and became the third competitor. This made them feel threatened, which made the two people who were originally eyeing the number of recommended students willing to accept it.
The Xu family where Xu Mengjie lives is also a great existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but the whole thing is dependent on the Tantai family. Ge Xian immediately boldly guessed whether it was Tantai Qi who ordered Xu Mengjie to deal with him?
Because judging from what Xu Mengjie said, it was more like she was acting under orders, and the person who really made the decision was the young master Tantai.
"It is indeed you, but I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded. Someone would threaten your status. Instead of trying to defeat with strength, you would use crooked ways. Is this the method of people from aristocratic families like you?" Thinking of this? , Ge Xian couldn't wait to take out the alloy stick he just got today and give Tantai Qi a stick in his sleep.
He didn't want to go to extremes, and once he did, he and his family would never have peace. Ge Xian forced himself to suppress the violent side of his heart.
Sitting cross-legged in front of Tantai Qi, he began to think about how to solve the crisis at hand. He is already a well-established cultivator. Although the Tantai family is powerful, it is just a mortal family. The further back he goes, the more such opponents will fear him. In other words, as long as he orders his opponents to be extremely afraid of him, he will not dare to If you start, then given time, when you really grow up, then the Tantai family will not be afraid at all.
"Threatening?" Thinking of this, Ge Xian had an idea.
Early the next morning, Tantai Qi woke up on time. He didn't use an alarm clock, but followed his biological clock for more than ten years, almost exactly. On this day, he still exercised step by step and then started to wash and shower. , but when he got dressed and was about to start enjoying breakfast, he was notified by the housekeeper, telling him to go to the front yard immediately, saying that the owner of the manor and his grandfather Tantai Mingxuan wanted to see him.
Tantai Qi is very surprised. Grandpa rarely sees people now, and most of them are arranged in the afternoon. Why is he so anxious early in the morning?
When he came to the front yard of the manor in confusion, he found that not only his grandfather Tantai Mingxuan, but also his father Tantaiyu, mother Nangongyun, uncle Tantaiao and several uncles were there. The expressions on these people's faces It all seemed extremely unnatural at the moment.
"grandfather!"
"Mom and Dad!"
"Uncle, uncles!"
Tantai Qi saluted in turn, but found that there was something unusual today. Unlike normal days, as long as he saluted obediently, these elders would look kindly on him, but now his face looked gloomy, which was very strange.
After a while, Tantai Mingxuan coughed and stood up with a cane. Although the old man was over eighty years old, his body was still very strong. He was also a martial arts expert in his youth and had a good physique.
"Qi'er, who have you offended recently?" Tantai Mingxuan came to him and asked.
Although Tantai Qi was surprised in her heart, she didn't see anything strange on her face. She shook her head and said, "No, grandpa, why do you ask such a question? My grandson is a role model for his peers in school. He is deeply loved by his teachers and classmates and has never had any grudges."
The Tantai family has been passed down for thousands of years. In daily communication, family members tend to speak in a formal manner, which is similar to the ancients. However, in the eyes of many big families, it is a symbol of nobility.
"You lied!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Tantai Qi denied it, several uncles opened their mouths and scolded him.
Immediately afterwards, uncle Tantai Aoye said angrily: "Second brother, look at your son, how stubborn he is. He has done something wrong and still ignores it. It seems that he will only admit it when someone in my Tantai family is dead."
"Brother, why did you say that? Let me ask this little beast carefully." Tantaiyu's face showed anger, and he saw his sleeves shaking. He was about to step forward, but was held back by his wife Nangongyun.
"Master, don't embarrass the child. He probably really doesn't know anything about it," Nangong Yun begged.
"It's already this time, why are you still protecting this traitor? He doesn't want to offend others, so why do others treat us like this? Are we already full?" Tantaiyu became even more angry.
Boom!
The crutch in Tantai Mingxuan's hand fell heavily to the ground, making a dull sound that made Tantaiyu and others instantly speechless.
"Everyone, be quiet. I haven't finished speaking yet. How can you be so flustered? I think the older you traitors get, the more you live like a dog." Tantai Mingxuan glared at the few. The useless son cursed, and Tantai Ao, Tantai Yu and others immediately did not dare to talk back, and Nangong Yun also lowered her head in grievance.
Tantai Qi became more and more confused. What happened? Why did his grandparents and parents seem to think that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended? He really had no impression.
"Qi'er, tell grandpa honestly, have you offended anyone recently? No matter who it is or what his identity is, you have to tell the truth, otherwise grandpa won't be able to protect you." Tantai Mingxuan turned around and said, Looking at him seriously.
This time, Tantai Qi finally dared not deny it. He thought hard and finally nodded and said: "Grandpa, these days, it's just that one of my classmates is too outstanding and threatens Xu Mengjie and I's recommended student quota, so I let him Xu Mengjie sold the price and taught the other party a lesson, but there was nothing else. Moreover, that classmate’s family background was very ordinary, his parents were ordinary salary earners, and he didn’t have any powerful relatives. Don’t you often teach your grandchildren? Some Hidden dangers must be eradicated at the earliest stage to prevent them from growing up. Grandpa, did your grandson do something wrong?"
Tantai Mingxuan's chest rose and fell, and finally he slapped Tantai Qi, causing the grandson's cheeks to swell.
At this time, the couple Tantaiyu and Nangongyun immediately pleaded for their son, while Tantaiao and other brothers watched the excitement.
"Alas...it's my fault. It was my fault in teaching that made him offend someone he shouldn't have offended. It's my fault." Tantai Mingxuan turned around tremblingly and walked towards his seat. Tantaiyu and others immediately stepped forward. He helped her, but he pushed her away with one hand.
Good guy, despite his age, his strength is amazing. With such a casual push, Tantai Ao and others staggered in a large area, which gave the illusion of being extremely weak.
"Sigh... Look at you, you are in such a mess. Although our family has already had enough food and clothing, and can even be said to be living a Chinese life, if we encounter a disaster, I am afraid it will still be destroyed. This is what I am most worried about. Yes, have you forgotten why our ancestors lived in seclusion here?" Tantai Mingxuan knocked on the ground again, and the blue tiles on the floor were marked by the cane.
Tantai Qi covered her swollen face, with the ice pack given by Nangong Yun in her hand. While applying cold compress, she listened to Tantai Mingxuan tell about the accident that happened last night.
It turned out that an expert came to Tantai's house last night. For some reason, because Tantai Qi had offended him, he sent all the important people of Tantai's house to him, mainly the people in front of him, including Tantai Mingxuan. The heads of the family, as well as several powerful figures in the direct line, including Tantai Ao, Tantai Yu, Nangong Yun and others, cut off small bunches of hair and then quietly placed them in front of everyone's bed. A note was left.
The content of the note is as follows, saying: Today, Tantai Qi offended my disciple and wanted to harm him. I wanted to kill everyone in your family to vent his anger. However, God has the virtue of good health, and I have already washed my hands in the golden basin, so I only took a bunch of hair from your neck as a punishment. If there is another time, I will borrow a hair from the neck for use. Don't say that I didn't predict what I said. ——Taoist Zixu
After reading the note, Tantai Qi couldn't help complaining: "Grandpa, if this is a trick played by my classmate, wouldn't it be a huge loss of face?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt convinced and looked at Tantai Mingxuan.
Unexpectedly, Tantai Mingxuan glanced at everyone as if they were fools, and then said with an enigmatic expression: "You know nothing about this world."
The next words caused a huge change in Tantai Qi's outlook. He had never thought that there was an unimaginable unknown world outside the world he was in, and he seemed to have offended the people from People of that world.
"You all come with me. All visitors are declined today. Qi'er will not leave the manor until there is no explanation for this matter." After saying that, Tantai Mingxuan stood up and walked towards the ancestral home. Although Tantai Qi was unwilling to do so, she He didn't dare to disobey, and at the same time, he secretly swore that if he found out that all the pranks last night were caused by Ge Xian, he would definitely destroy his family.
