Chapter 315 – Aftermath (2/2)

Sima Household.

Qiu Zhi Jun spoke calmly: “The information we have gathered on Wu Wang Hai is very little, but we managed to find that, roughly 20 years ago, it was suspected that Wu Wang Hai’s spirit general appeared near Southern Cross Constellation.”

“Southern Cross Constellation?” Sima Xiao placed the tidbits into his mouth, and spoke with food in his mouth: “The reach of our people is profound huh. What other leads?”

“None.” Qiu Zhi Jun shook his head.

“Seems like we can only live with it.” Sima Xiao had a face of helplessness.

“The plan that you mentioned about taking the seat of the Patriarch is gone.” Qiu Zhi Jun said: “I have obtained news, that the elders think that the first branch has sacrificed too much, and have decided to complement the first branch, so they will continue to hold the seat.”

“No choice, our foundation is too thin.” Sima Xiao waved his hand, and said unclearly: “But no matter, I have found a good military leader. As long as we build up our army, it doesn’t matter if we have or not have the position of of Patriarch.”

“Who?” Qiu Zhi Jun asked.

“Phoenix Constellation, De Rong who is hailed as Iron Gloves.”

Qiu Zhi Jun was surprised: “You managed to convince him?”

“A few years ago, I heard that his daughter had some weird illness, and all this time I have been looking for a cure for him. My luck was good, and finally found it recently.” Sima Xiao laughed: “Phoenix Constellation does not have any army, and De Rong is not a direct descendant, he spent time as an officer to kill time, and did not have any great goal. To be able to find an army here, how could he not be happy?”

Qiu Zhi Jun nodded his head: “His standards are good. His achievements in his previous army for hire were outstanding from the past. Ever since he left, the army did not last long. But I heard that he is very stubborn, so he was not well received by the higher ups in Phoenix.”

“Which talented person isn’t stubborn?” Sima Xiao laughed: “If I do not even have this much of broad-mindedness, what can I achieve? The army will be handed over to him, give him whatever he wants, I will not ask.”

Qiu Zhi Jun then asked: “Then what about Yang Wu?”

Yang Wu was the person chosen by Sima Xiao previously, and now that he had De Rong, Yang Wu was useless.

Sima Xiao laughed: “Let them compete, the loser will be the subordinate, that is more fair, and no one will disagree.”

“That’s a good idea.” Qiu Zhi Jun judged, and suddenly asked: “Why are you so negative about this? Or should I say, why do you feel that Tang Tian will really affect your plans?”

Sima Xiao’s smiling face became straight: “I do not know. But, to prepare is to be safe, which is never a bad thing.”

He suddenly smiled again: “And, don’t you think these few days have been too quiet?”

Tang Tian had just stepped into the light door, when a black figure suddenly rushed in front of him and abruptly stopped, scaring him.

It was Ya Ya.

Just that……

“Hey, Ya Ya, how did you end up like that?” Tang Tian looked at Ya Ya who was surrounded by smoke, and was stunned.

Ya Ya’s entire body was black, as though it came out from a chimney, and covered with the soot. Only it’s pair of eyes were blinking white.

Ya Ya raised its two small hands, and started to squeak, and simulated a sucking sound from its mouth.

Tang Tian was confused, and after a while, he asked: “You….are you saying you…. Swallowed the entire smoke into your body?”

Ya Ya happily pointed to its belly, and raised its head, showing the face of ‘you better praise me’.

Tang Tian pinched its nose, and with his other hand he smacked Ya Ya’s buttocks, bringing it in front of him.

“So dirty. Let me tell you, you better not climb on me anymore. Ke ke, look at you, like an excavator. Good that you sucked that stupid smoke up, it’s so noisy.” Tang Tian immediately said: “But, let me tell you, little friend, smoking is bad for your body!”

Ya Ya struggled out from Tang Tian who was pinching it’s buttocks.

It squeaked unhappily, its fist banging towards the chest, showing that it was tough and strong.

“Ai ya, you’re so small, don’t think that after being dyed black, you are something else.” Tang Tian laughed out loud, his face full of ridicule.

Ya ya was angry, and formed a half squat position, tensing it’s arms, showing off it’s power.

Tang Tian looked at the flag that was in Ya Ya’s butt, trembling with Ya Ya, which was extremely comical. He squatted down, laughing frantically, and trying to use his finger to wave the little flag around.

Ya Ya’s fell down to the ground due to his control.

Ya Ya became even angrier, ‘deng deng deng’, it walked over, and jumped a couple of times. In the end Tang Tian chased after it even more, waving the small flag in Ya ya’s butt.

Ya Ya immediately held onto the flag, and quickly ran far away before stopping.

At this time Tang Tian played enough, he stood up, and laughed: “Ha ha, ok, I’ll stop here for today, I still have things to do….”

Ya Ya who was spirited shouted a word.

“Huo Yi.”

The black and meaty fist punched outwards.

Tang Tian’s body froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
