Chapter 2171 - 2160: Tao Yuantong (Third Update)

Lucky?

Still should feel lucky!

Tao Shuxing couldn’t help but be stunned.

But then he whispered, "Grandfather... there’s no need for you to kneel! This Mr. Lin, I now understand his identity!"

"You understand? Then why didn’t you just kill this evil beast with one palm strike just now!"

Tao Anjie glared at Tao Shuxing and scolded, "Do you realize, if I had come a few steps later, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even have your life!"

"Grandfather! Mr. Lin is... the leader of the Superpower Group at the National Security Headquarters, a very terrifying authority! But you... even so, there’s no need to kneel!"

Tao Shuxing was slightly taken aback and then said, "Now I am also the deputy leader of the division’s Superpower Group, so Leader Lin might at least consider this and might not make things difficult!"

What!

Leader of the Superpower Group at National Security Headquarters!

Tao Anjie stared wide-eyed at Tao Shuxing in astonishment, "Mr. Lin has this identity as well?"

"Grandfather... you didn’t know? Could it be..."

Tao Shuxing was also surprised.

He thought that Tao Anjie was scared by this identity of Lin Tian.

That’s why he was extremely confused.

But it seems... Lin Tian has another identity!

At this moment.

Lii Ze returned.

His expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened!

Without a word, he silently stood beside Tao Anjie again.

"First, call someone to throw Zeng Xiong and the others out of the Tao family, so we don’t lose face!"

Tao Anjie coldly said to Tao Shuxing.

Though puzzled, Tao Shuxing made the call to have Zeng Xiong and the others dragged away without further inquiry.

Once everyone else had left.

Tao Anjie solemnly said to Tao Shuxing, "Remember one thing, my grandson. Even if you can’t ingratiate yourself with Mr. Lin, you must not offend him even one bit! This time, Tao Shujing and the others offended him multiple times. If Mr. Lin is enraged, our Tao family won’t escape calamity!"

"Is it... that serious?"

Tao Shuxing asked tremulously, perplexed.

"The leader of the Superpower Group at National Security, do you think that would even get Mr. Lin’s attention? Likely, it was Miss Gu Wanyin who asked Mr. Lin to take the position!"

Tao Anjie sighed, shaking his head, he earnestly advised Tao Shuxing, "You do not need to know about Mr. Lin’s other identity. But understand this, to destroy our Tao family, Mr. Lin would only need the flick of a finger! Not just our family, even the National Security itself, if Mr. Lin desires, he could eliminate it all by himself!"

Hiss~

Tao Shuxing was taken aback, stepping back in horror, drawing in a sharp breath.

Exactly what identity!

Or what sort of strength!

At this moment, Tao Shuxing couldn’t imagine it.

Simultaneously, he vaguely thought of a certain possibility!

Yet, perhaps because of the fear in his heart, or as if it were taboo, he dared not speak.

"Mr. Lin came over because I asked him to cure Tongtong, and he personally came over, yet we did not welcome him properly, already trembling with fear!"

Tao Anjie sighed again, "And Miss Su Yuan, it seems she is also Mr. Lin’s friend! Tao Shujing, that beast... he really has a death wish!"

Tao Shuxing shivered all over, quickly lowering his head, not daring to utter a word.

"Now that you’re back, rest well, then practice diligently! Even being a Level 4 Superpower User, you’re still too weak! In the world of the strong, you don’t qualify to enter!"

Tao Anjie solemnly said to Tao Shuxing again, "I will go with Mr. Lii to check on Tongtong!"

Tao Shuxing respectfully saw off his grandfather and Lii Ze.

Once no one was around, he turned to Lu Hong and asked, "What is the true strength of Luu Guanghe?"

"Sixth-level Superpower! In general circumstances, he could crush and kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster easily!"

Lu Hong pondered for a while before he said, "Because two years ago, Lu Hong killed a nefarious Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

Whew~

Hearing this, Tao Shuxing gritted his teeth, showing an unyielding expression on his face.

Now, he was merely a Level 4 Superpower User.

The gap to Level 6 was like an endless chasm!

Despite just being two levels apart, the actual combat power differed vastly!

Besides, advancing from Level 4 to Level 5 was extremely challenging!

As for himself now.

He could almost defeat an average Martial Arts Master!

Yet, if he faced a Martial Arts Grandmaster... like Lii Ze accompanying Tao Anjie, the opponent might kill him in an instant!

And how powerful was that Sixth-level Superpower User Luu Guanghe?

Yet... he was directly killed at the National Security Headquarters!

Thinking of this, Tao Shuxing couldn’t help but gulp, asking Lu Hong again: "At the time... how long did Leader Lin and Luu Guanghe fight fiercely?"

"Fight fiercely?"

Lu Hong opened his mouth, stunned.

Tao Shuxing nodded, saying: "Yes! Shouldn’t the people from the Superpower Group have witnessed the situation firsthand at the time! How much more do you know?"

"Vice Group Leader Tao, it’s my fault for not explaining it clearly to you!"

Lu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "I’ve also heard about the situation. There was no fierce battle; Luu Guanghe was... directly killed in one move by Leader Lin! A Sixth-level Superpower User, reportedly defeated like a chick, with no power to fight back, and instantly killed without any chance!"

"At first... I had also offended Leader Lin and was very afraid, so I obtained quota for training at the branch overnight, leaving the headquarters! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the chance to deal with you!"

After hearing this.

Tao Shuxing fell silent.

He said nothing, shook his head at Lu Hong, and turned to leave.

Meanwhile.

In the deepest spots of Wangtai Mountain Water Bay.

A villa in the best location by the water bay.

All around were lush, vibrant greenery, like a patch of ancient forest.

If you didn’t know.

You might think this was an ancient forest.

Along a winding small stone path between the forest, one could find the villa by the lakeside, concealed by the woods.

Lin Tian followed Su Yuan all the way here.

They stood at the entrance of the villa garden.

At this moment, in the garden of the villa, a little girl who looked about nine years old was busily tidying up the flowers and plants in the garden.

She even turned around occasionally to move the rockery in the garden for cleaning.

Yes, moving the rockery!

The garden was large, at least half the size of a football field!

Inside were at least five or six rockeries, with different flowers and vines planted beside them.

The rockeries were at least the size of two or three water tanks.

But this little girl, with her tender little hands, just hugged them and moved several rockeries away.

Moreover, she did this without breaking a sweat or losing her breath, walking leisurely!

As if she wasn’t moving a rockery weighing thousands of pounds, but merely a ball of cotton!

"Is she Tao Yuantong?"

At the entrance of the garden, Lin Tian was stunned by the little girl’s actions, and asked Su Yuan in astonishment.

"Surprising, right? When I brought her home, she was tidying this large garden too, moving the rockeries back and forth like this! I was scared too!"

Su Yuan nodded and said to Lin Tian: "But you shouldn’t be fooled by this... Every time Tongtong falls into weakness, she suffers greatly, feels cold all over, and is weak and powerless! But when she has energy, she still feels lost, so she has to keep busy and exercising, to dispense her energy!"
