The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 54. The Hu Family Leader
"Lin Tian, become my disciple so that you can face all of them!!!" he said loudly and firmly while pointing at Lin Tian's face.
Lin Tian who was treated like that was only able to open his mouth wide so astonished and surprised.
"Wait..be a student? Why suddenly?" asked Lin Tian with a wave.
"Of course to train you to be much stronger. Also you can be a conversation partner to me in this quiet place." replied the grandfather steady.
Lin Tian was still dumbfounded at the statement just now. He really still could not accept this reality. "Being student? I'm in a hurry!!" the real Inner Lin Tian felt disapproving of Zhang Hongli's words
"But Mr-"
"No but-but, now rest and tomorrow we start training!!" zhang Hongli's orders without waiting for Lin Tian to finish his words.
"Huh.." only a sigh came out of the young man's mouth.
...****************...
The next day, early in the morning, even when the sun had yet to shine on the place, Lin Tian and Zhang Hongli were already ready to start training.
"Before you start practicing, you better wear this shirt. This is my robe of pride when I was young, because you are my disciple, so now this robe is yours. Take it!" zhang Hongli said as he thrust out a robe that was as pure white as the robe he was currently wearing.
"Thank you teacher" said Lin Tian who had changed his nickname to Zhang Hongli to "teacher".
The robe was pure white, made from a very fine and soft silk fabric. Inside the fold was also a black underwear. The underwear was presumably also made of silk thread.
"Listen son, the clothes are made of silk. But not from a silkworm!! The robe came from a silkworm that lived on the mountain peaks of the heaven wall. Which is where if the silk fabric is made from caterpillars, the clothes produced will be cold and soft and smooth" said Zhang hongli explained.
"Also the black underwear, made of silk cloth taken from the south coast silkworm. Which is where the shirt has a warming nature when the weather is cold. So, the outer robe and underwear that if worn together, will be able to warm when cold and able to cool when hot" he continued.
Great, thought Lin Tian. He had no idea he would get such a special gift. So he quickly replaced his torn robe here and there with a new robe.
As soon as Zhang Hongli's gifting robe was already attached to his body, Lin Tian appeared much more dashing and handsome.
"Hm.great, that fits you perfectly." Zhang Hongli commented.
"Alright, since you already have a high foundation of silat, then I will directly teach you the techniques of my savings. My moves are not just any style, these are the moves of my creation that raised my name in the past when young. So, you should be happy with this."
"Good teacher!!"
"Then listen carefully, since you are using a sword, then the first skill I will teach you is the 'Lotus Flower Petals', which requires sharpness and incredible speed."
After that Zhang Hongli explained how to play the skill. This grandfather practiced the movements of the Lotus Flower Petals using only his bare hands.
Indeed, this style is not a technique that requires the user to use a sword, but the user of this style must be proficient in processing power in becoming sharp like a sword or even stronger.
Although Zhang Hongli played this style with only his bare hands, but Lin Tian felt how every move from this old geezer was sharp and dangerous. Every movement always leads to death.
From then on Lin Tian stayed silent in the Red Forest with his teacher to deepen his martial arts.
...****************...
Meanwhile in the Xiao family, more precisely in the garden behind the residence of the Xiao family leader. Standing an all-white haired young man with red eyes pupils was glaring towards the sky.
His face imagined nothing. It had been a quarter of an hour for this young man to stand there.
This young man was none other than Hu Tao, the new Hu family leader. Today, he was making a visit to the Xiao family to tighten the strings of their brotherhood.
But it was all impossible, her mother had gone for all eternity and could never come back.
"Hey Hu Tao, what are you doing?" asked a beautiful girl who under her eyes was a small mole.
"Oh Xiao Lian, I'm here just to take a look" Hu Tao replied, smiling at the newly arrived girl. Yes, that girl is Xiao Lian, the daughter of Xiao Li.
"Oh so." Xiao Lian briefly replied and then sat down on a chair to the left where Hu Tao was standing.
Silent. Only that was capable of describing their current situation and condition. The two young people were at a loss about to start a conversation from where it made the two feel awkward.
"Hey.." call Xiao Lian suddenly.
"Yes?"
The girl then turned her head to look at the face of the albino young man, then said, "You said that the one who has helped you is Lin Tian right? How did he get there? How strong is he really?"
Hu Tao did not immediately reply and just looked at the face of the ayu fixedly. Lau he smiled ignorantly and said.
"Hoho...how did he get there? According to his confession, he had a debt of gratitude to this Xiao family, which was why he had to repay him. And how strong is he? I think she is strong enough to protect a beautiful miss like you." Hu Tao replied glancing at the girl to find out her reaction.
Suddenly, Xiao Lian's white face turned a dead red, then she turned her gaze and said. The tone is ketus, "Hmph!! He's not who I am, why protect me?"
"Hahaha.." Hu Tao's laughter exploded as he left from there.
During the day, Hu Tao and his entourage had gathered in the front yard of the Xiao family residence. They were about to say goodbye to Xiao Li's family to return to the Hu family.
"Master Xiao, thank you for your kindness all along. Thank you also for forgiving our family's mistakes, so that until now we can still be friends with this Xiao family." said Hu Tao while giving a salute followed by thirty of his men.
"Ahh.don't be so sir. We are indeed friends since long ago, do not hesitate." said Xiao Li while bowing his body as well.
"Alright then, I represent the Hu family group, want to say goodbye to you to go home" Hu Tao said.
"Be careful on the road. Right now the Black faction Alliance is incessantly committing crimes here and there to raise a name" Xiao Li warned.
"Okay sir, thank you for the advice."
Afterwards, the entourage of the Hu family led by Hu Tao left Stone City to return to their territory.

"Trongs"
"Your bastards!! How dare you attack in such a fraudulent manner!!!" terika Hu Tao was full of anger.
"Hik hik, ouh.hey is handsome. Tonight, aren't we gonna have fun? Your father was great, and he never refused our invitation either. Hihi, you want a handsome boy, hm?" said the woman flirtatiously and flirting.
"Ihh...What sister are you talking about? How could this brat be able to withstand our charm? Isn't that right, sweetie?" also said the woman next to him while winking one eye with a friendly.
"Bajingaaannn...mat!!!" back Hu Tao snapped hatefully.
