"Of course, of course, we will definitely heed Young Master Xu's teachings!"
All the instructors responded in unison, each showing the utmost respect.
Xu Hao didn't fuss over the matter any longer, which was the greatest mercy they could expect from him.
"You can train the new recruits and punish them if necessary, but don't go overboard."
Xu Hao nodded, uttered these words, and then drove off with Anna.
Watching the fading figures of Xu Hao and his companion, the head of the squad said coldly, "Did you all hear that? Behave yourselves, do good work, and perhaps Young Master Xu will show leniency, persuading Mr. Liu to rescind our serious demerits!"
Seeing the instructors acting so compliantly, the new recruits couldn't help but laugh.
These days, they had endured quite the oppression from these people. Were there any reasonable instructors?
But mostly, they were the kind who would bully you unscrupulously, given the slightest bit of power. Seeing them behaving like good grandsons now, which of the new recruits wouldn't be pleased?
However, not long after leaving the school grounds, Xu Hao suddenly frowned slightly and whispered, "Someone is following us."
"What? Is it those instructors? They wouldn't be trying to secretly harm us, would they?" Anna was not scared but rather somewhat excited. With those people's skills, even a sneak attack wouldn't be enough to defeat Xu Hao.
"No, it doesn't seem like the person means any harm."
Xu Hao thought for a moment, drove into a secluded corner, and stopped the car. Then he called out to the person behind, "Come out, friend."
"Hahaha! Young Master Xu truly has remarkable courage and insight!"
After a hearty laugh, a short but robust-looking old man appeared seemingly out of nowhere at the entrance to the alley.
Xu Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and he became slightly cautious; the old man turned out to be a strong practitioner at the Middle Stage of Transformation Level!
Observing the man's attire, Xu Hao asked, "A person from the Tang Sect?"
Without moving closer, the old man stood in place and said, "Initially, I planned to have someone else come inform Young Master Xu. But I thought that would lack sincerity, so I came myself."
Seeing that Xu Hao showed no fear of him, the old man was also secretly surprised. He understood Xu Hao could discern his strength, but his fearlessness indicated he had something to rely on.
The old man didn't believe Xu Hao was relying solely on his own strength; the gap between a Half step Grandmaster and the middle stage of Grandmaster level was too vast!
"Inform me of what?" Xu Hao asked with a slight frown.
"Your girlfriend's classmates, Qi Heng and Wang Wei, are planning to hire us from the Tang Sect to deal with you," the old man said.
Help us out by reading on *.
"Those two? With their capabilities, how would they know how to contact the Tang Sect?" Xu Hao said with suspicion.
The Tang Sect certainly wasn't a public assassin organization, and those who knew how to contact the Tang Sect had to be powerful and prominent individuals.
Qi Heng might sound important as the eldest son of the Qi Family, but in reality, he was nothing more than a member of a very minor clan. Without his aunt marrying into the Cao Family, the Qi Family would be insignificant.
The old man chuckled, "They naturally don't know, but they must have learned through the Cao Family's eldest son, Cao An. We in the Tang Sect take money to eliminate calamities for others, but this particular job, we dare not accept."
Xu Hao said with a cold laugh, "Your Tang Sect hasn't hesitated to send assassins after me recently, even Tang Jing, the son of Tang Clan's Great Elder, has been involved with my enemy Wang Zihao."
"Young Master Xu, you've misunderstood. The Great Elder of the Tang Sect doesn't represent the Tang Sect. The only one who represents the Tang Sect is the Sect Leader and his lineage. Tang Jing, the son of the Great Elder, is no longer part of the Tang Sect," the old man explained with a smile.
"Where did Tang Jing go?"
"That, I'm afraid I cannot disclose, as even I don't know where exactly he has gone. However, he and Wang Zihao disappeared together. Recently, Wang Zihao has resurfaced, suspected of being the demon successor. Young Master Xu, you should be very careful; if his identity as the demon successor is true, you will face endless trouble," the old man advised earnestly, clasping his fist.
"The Demonic Blade Successor, what kind of status is that really? Why do I feel that you all are extremely wary when mentioning it?" Xu Hao inquired.
"This... cannot be said, must not be said, talking about it brings disaster. I've not lived enough and certainly don't wish to die so soon!" the old man said, shaking his head and sighing.
Xu Hao felt a chill in his heart; merely the title made the strong practitioner at the Middle Stage of Transformation Level so wary!
Although unsure if the old man was pretending, this was enough to indicate just how terrifying things like Demonic Blade and Blade Demon could be!
"Well, let's not discuss this further. Who did Qi Heng hire from your sect?"
"Merely someone at the Mastery Period. After all, he's from our Tang Sect, and I do not want him to die in vain, so I came here myself."
"Just someone at the Mastery Period? Who are those two minor characters looking down on? Someone at the Mastery Period wouldn't even be enough to clean my brother's teeth!" Anna said contemptuously.
The old man was at a loss for words. After all, Qi Heng and Wang Wei were just ordinary people; how could they know Xu Hao's power was so formidable?
