Chapter 781 778: What Kind of Family Is This?!
After the old man left, only Huang Feihu and his son, along with Xiao Tian and the others, were left in the hall. At this moment, this patriarch who had just lost face cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly and said, "May I ask, what are you going to do with it?"After speaking, as if afraid of being misunderstood by Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan, he added, "To be honest, although this pendant is an heirloom of the Huang family and is quite mystical, it has long been sitting in the loft all these years, with its symbolic significance far outweighing its practical use!"
Xiao Tian took the box from Huang Feihu's hand and said, "Before answering your question, please answer one of mine first."
Huang Feihu's face turned solemn: "Please go ahead!"
"Did your Huang family not know that this pendant has another half?!" Xiao Tian looked at Huang Feihu with some suspicion, wondering how the royal family at the Northern Border could not know about something even Qin Shaoyuan knew?!
Moreover, with that old man present, it's impossible not to notice some clues!
However, upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Huang Feihu seemed shocked and exclaimed, "Another half?!"
Xiao Tian was left speechless. What kind of people are this family?!
Old people not behaving like old people, neglecting even their descendants, holding a self-destructive mentality.
In fact, upon hearing the old man's evaluation of Huang Shangtian earlier, Xiao Tian wanted to say, "If you know you'll die anyway, why bother to argue?"
But since it wasn't his concern, and since he came for the family heirloom and not to help Huang Shangtian, he didn't push the matter.
However, upon hearing Huang Feihu's exclamation, Xiao Tian felt a sense of frustration and asked, "Young Master Qin must have told you I showed him the photo of the other half of the pendant, right?"
Huang Feihu was momentarily stumped, his face turned bright red, and he smiled awkwardly, saying, "I forgot, I forgot, a momentary oversight. Please continue!"
"I won't elaborate on the pendant. If you've learned anything about me in the past few days, you should know something." Xiao Tian said sternly, "Earlier, I obtained a treasure on Kunlun Mountain."
"Mm, I did hear about that!" Huang Feihu asked uncertainly, "Are you saying there's a connection between this pendant and the treasure you obtained earlier?"
Xiao Tian didn't explain further, directly taking out the miniature Five Elements crystal given to him by Ghost Face and reaching out to Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu looked at the crystal in Xiao Tian's hand with suspicion, but upon taking it, he was shocked, "This, this, this is..."
"This is a part of the energy I obtained from that treasure." Xiao Tian said directly, "Currently, the extraction speed is very limited, so I need to borrow your family's pendant to extract more energy."
Seeing Huang Feihu so stunned that he couldn't speak, Xiao Tian continued, "As I said earlier, the exchange is not without reason; it's to give your family a portion of the energy."
Huang Feihu's face turned solemn, "If this is truly the case, I can decide to give you the pendant!"
Finally, making a correct decision, Huang Feihu realized that although the pendant was exceptionally precious, it was just a decoration in the Huang family's hands.
This way, they can gain the energy Xiao Tian mentioned and also improve relations with him; it's truly a win-win situation.
As the patriarch, Huang Feihu's strength and insight were extraordinary. Judging from the energy earlier, if Xiao Tian gave the family some energy, they could train numerous top masters.
For the Huang family at present, every bit of strength was invaluable. Once the old man passed away, the unprotected Huang family would no longer be a mighty lion but rather a lamb to be slaughtered!
Once things were finalized, Huang Shangtian and Huang Xiadi both thought it was ridiculously obvious. If Xiao Tian had stated his intentions from the start, the family might have offered the pendant long ago, avoiding all this drama!
After obtaining the other half of the Huang family's pendant, Lin Bingxuan immediately said, "Since that's settled, we'll take our leave now!"
Huang Feihu was a bit surprised, "In such a hurry, why not stay a few more days and enjoy yourselves, let us show some hospitality?"
Lin Bingxuan smiled and politely declined, "Thank you, Master Huang, but this matter is of great importance, and we must hurry back. We'll come to visit when we have time."
"Alright!" Huang Feihu, seeing they wouldn't stay, said, "I'll arrange for someone to take you to the airport."
"Thank you!" Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan both thanked and then quickly turned and left.
Just as they walked out of the hall, Huang Xiadi chased after them with a teary expression, "Wait, wait, aren't you forgetting something?"
Xiao Tian turned back, puzzled, and seeing Lin Bingxuan equally confused, asked, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Xiao Tian had seemingly forgotten about him and Huang Shangtian, Huang Xiadi hurriedly said, "Didn't you say you poisoned us? Could you help us get rid of it?"
"Oh!" Xiao Tian laughed, realizing, "Did you really think I poisoned you?"
After speaking, he pulled Lin Bingxuan and left, Huang Shangtian quickly catching up, saying, "Let me see you off!"
Huang Feihu looked at his sons, then at the departing Xiao Tian, and couldn't help but lament the huge disparity; why were his sons so incapable?!
...
"Alright, you can head back!" Xiao Tian, somewhat helplessly, looked at Huang Shangtian, who insisted on seeing him to the airport, thinking this man was quite peculiar.
Had Xiao Tian not stopped him, Huang Shangtian might have bought a ticket to follow them to Shanghai.
Huang Shangtian, a bit reluctantly, looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Once you've extracted the energy, give me a call, and I'll come to pick it up myself to avoid troubling you again!"
Xiao Tian was momentarily stumped, thinking he hadn't said he'd deliver it personally, right?
But fearing Huang Shangtian's persistence, Xiao Tian casually replied, "Alright, we'll talk about it then."
"Don't mention it again!" Huang Shangtian insisted, "Make sure to contact me!"
Lin Bingxuan immediately said, "Alright, alright, we'll call you then." She finished speaking, pulling Xiao Tian to leave hastily.
Finally rid of Huang Shangtian, Xiao Tian noticed Lin Bingxuan looking at him with an inexplicable, strange expression and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me like that?!"
Lin Bingxuan looked bewildered, "What's wrong? I really admire you!"
Xiao Tian was dumbfounded, "That's admiration?!"
"Of course it is!" Lin Bingxuan said matter-of-factly, "Not only admiration but also some respect."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian felt even more puzzled.
