Chapter 31: Xiao Family Skills

Ling Tian then giggled before saying seriously, “I have another request for teacher.”

Seeing Ling Tian all serious, Mr. Qin did not dare to delay before replying, “Speak.”

Ling Tian then said, “I want to get all the information you know about the Xiao.” family

Mr Qin then exclaimed, “The Xiao family? Your future wife is from the Xiao family?” In his heart, he thought about why he didn't know about this.

Ling Tian then sighed while nodding, “Furthermore, she is the only little princess of the Xiao family. I heard that girl is named Xiao YanXue and is also five years old this.”

Mr Qin then did not know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, “You are both the same age and you called her ‘girl’? You really like to brag.”

Ling Tian then giggled and asked, “What does Mister know about the Xiao family?”

Mr. Qin then replied with a proud smile, “In relation to the Xiao family, I am the right person for you to ask. Although I dare not say that I know everything about the Xiao family, I know at least most of it. This old man and the head of the Xiao family had been good friends for many years. ”

Ling Tian became interested as he walked up to Master Qin's back and massaged him lightly. At the same time, he said, “Then, will Sir tell me about it?”

Master Qin twirled his beard in satisfaction and said, “Mmm, since you are so devoted, your teacher will explain to you the matter of the Xiao.” family

Ling Tian nodded and started listening carefully.

“The Xiao family has a very special existence throughout the continent. This family was no weaker than the six great families in the world today. But the Xiao family was able to distance themselves from the royal family but received the benefits of all the different nations. In addition, the Xiao family's wealth was publicly recognized as the first in the world. Moreover, it is known to the public that their wealth is slowly being amassed through the means of ordinary business and the hard work of many generations. ”

As Ling Tian listened to this, he could not help but sneer in his heart. Full lie! This was the thought in Ling Tian's heart. Being able to be the first in the world without resorting to cheating? This was something Ling Tian would never believe! Even on the earth where he lived in his previous life, it was also impossible for one to reach such heights just through honest means! Not to mention, this place that was still in a state of war with great chaos everywhere.

However, Ling Tian did not say anything and quietly listened to what Master Qin said.

“... The head of the Xiao family is called Xiao FengHan, great with skill and strategy. In the past, he roamed the entire continent and was the life-and-death brother of your grandfather, Ling Zhan. Due to the fact that your grandfather has saved his life many times, the two are very close. The marriage you planned before may be the work of both of them. ”

“The Xiao family has begun to change its main affairs 30 years ago from civilian industry to the military. From then on, the Xiao family specialized in matters of armor and weapons. Since then the Xiao family established its position as the richest family in the world! ”

“The wealth of the Xiao family can be easily explained by one point. Currently, there were seven kingdoms on the continent. From the weapons in Star Falling Empire, Heaven’s Blessing Empire, Burning Phoenix Empire, and our own empire, at least half of them were purchased from the Xiao family! As for the other three kingdoms, there were at least 30 percent bought from the Xiao family. ”

Money cannot solve anything; this phrase does have its own logic! But if the amount of wealth reaches a stage where everyone in the world thinks it scary, then money is able to solve everything! There is nothing that cannot be solved with such wealth!

Thinking of this, Ling Tian began to think of the ideas in his head. It seems like the Xiao family must have contributed a lot for the Ling family to have the current standings! With such a powerful alliance as in-laws, it was no wonder that the Ling family could still remain standing despite the difficulties.

However, the Xiao family was indeed very brave. They actually dared to give up on all the other businesses and specialized in the affairs of armor and weapons, which was a huge taboo in an industry! You should know, this industry is something that every kingdom craves. If one of the seven kingdoms in the continent were to absorb the Xiao family, they would definitely have the ability to unify the entire continent! Such an attraction was something that no kingdom would be able to resist!

Since Ling Tian was able to realize this fact, then everyone should be able to as well. But why is it such that no country has moved until now?

With the delicate balance of power in the continent at the moment, every small movement would definitely create a huge storm. As long as one side showed signs of threat, all the other kingdoms would definitely gather to suppress that kingdom. However, this was not the main reason the different kingdoms remained silent! Uniting continents is the dream of every ruler! To unify the continents, there would definitely be risks involved. But if they were able to eat the entire Xiao family in a short period of time, the benefits they would obtain would be far more valuable than the risks they took.

If that was the case, there was only one reason left: The Xiao Family must have a powerful military force that no one else knew to protect the safety of the Xiao family!

As he thought about it, Ling Tian could not help but ask doubtfully, “A piece of meat that is so fat, there is no way that no one wants a piece of it right?”

Mr. Qin then nodded his head in agreement, “Of course there are many people who want some of them. You should know, there were 11 kingdoms on this continent 25 years ago. But now, there are only seven left. The four kingdoms that disappeared were the ones who wanted this piece of meat. ”

Ling Tian took another cold breath, “Destroying four countries? Since the Xiao family possessed such strength, why didn't they unify the continent themselves?”

Master Qin nodded his head in response, “It is not that they do not want to unite the continent. That was because they were already the target of many powerhouses! If they took any action, it would also be their end. Even the four kingdoms since then have not formed an alliance to attack together. Instead, they fought individually. The Xiao family only survived against a single wave of attacks from them. After that, the other countries attacked together to destroy them. From this point alone, it could be seen that while the Xiao family had the ability to protect itself, it was still far from unifying the continent. ”

“In addition, it is said that the first leader of the Xiao family, Xiao ChengYun, is a heavenly reincarnation. He was proficient in divination with many strange abilities. Before he died, he had done a prophecy for the Xiao family and left an will: If the Xiao family continues its business, the foundation of the Xiao family will not perish. But if it had the ambition to unify the continent, the entire family would definitely be wiped out! ”

Ling Tian then sneered and laughed, “Heavenly reincarnation? Ancestral will? A prophecy? What joke! Sir, do you really believe that?”

Mr. Qin replied with a bitter laugh, “It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. In fact, it would not affect the current state of the continent even if no one on the continent believed it. But the key was that the Xiao Family had always followed this wish.In addition, the Xiao family had always conducted their business peacefully without any of the Xiao family being government officials of any country. They were always very peaceful, guarding their wills of the ancestors. Thus, regardless of how the various nations coveted the Xiao family, they were extremely cautious of them, maintaining this fragile state. ”

In regards to what Master Qin said, Ling Tian sneered in disdain! He then said, “I am sure that every kingdom must be eyeing the Xiao family with envy and waiting for an opportunity! As for the Xiao family, they had also not given up on unifying the continent! It was just that all the preparations had been made.it was made in secret! As for the military strength of the Xiao family, it was definitely not weaker than any empire! There was only one reason why there was no movement whatsoever: all powerhouses needed justifiable reasons! In other words, they are waiting for an opportunity! ”

Master Qin's face changed as he asked, “You, how did you conclude that?”

Ling Tian slightly smiled, her beautiful face exuding a sweet smile. But in Master Qin's eyes, it was filled with a bone-chilling chill! He could not resist trembling for a moment!
