The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 102

Soon, night quietly descended.

Xu Tian leaned against the edge of his bed, closed his eyes slightly, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

In fact, he is a light sleeper, so he will pay attention to any slight noise.

I was feeling hazy, like I was about to dream, when suddenly there was a faint noise outside.

His eyes snapped open, but his movements remained exactly the same as before.

Some sounds become clearer as night goes on.

Therefore, he easily heard the approaching footsteps outside.

He didn't move, remaining in the same position, and then felt the person outside getting closer and closer to him.

A short while later, Xu Tian suddenly stood up.

The man who had almost reached his bedside was so frightened that he staggered back.

This person was Fang Xuanling's personal bodyguard, and he came here to murder Xu Tian.

I thought I had made my footsteps quiet enough to sneak in unnoticed, but who knew I would be discovered so quickly!

Upon realizing their actions had been discovered, the man immediately drew a stick from his waist and struck at Xu Tian!

"Ridiculous." Xu Tian quickly stood up.

He dodged to the right, avoiding the blow of the stick, and then said with a grim face, "Who sent you?"

The man in black did not answer a word.

This person's provocations are really exciting these days; they're not subtle at all.

He then jumped onto the bedside cabinet, stood on it, and landed behind his personal guard.

Clearly, the man was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground by Xu Tian the moment he turned around.

"Who sent you? How dare you be so arrogant and even barge into my room?"

Xu Tian's last move sent that person sprawling face-first into the dirt.

When the man turned around and stood up, he was immediately put with a dagger around his neck.

"What? You barged in in the middle of the night and actually think you can leave alive?"

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Xu Tian looked at the person in front of him with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Of course, the immediate priority isn't to kill people; the most important thing is to pry them out of their mouths to find out who's behind this.

It must be getting a bit boring that they keep coming to cause trouble for me.

Moreover, they always operate in the shadows. What kind of hero are they? They're only fit to use these underhanded tactics.

"I advise you to quickly reveal who's behind you, otherwise I will absolutely not let you off the hook."

"And I'm especially curious about what you intend to do to me this time? Kill me?"

Xu Tian glanced curiously at the person he was stepping on and casually asked.

"Don't tell me you have a grudge against me. I'm the kind of person who never seeks revenge!"

Xu Tian looked down at the person he had caught and stomped on him again.

In a situation where he is the victim, he will absolutely not give others a chance to say anything else.

I'd like to see who this person is who's been plotting against me from behind all this time.

"I am not sure!"

The man in black was aware of the situation, but being loyal to Fang Xuanling, he naturally couldn't reveal Fang Xuanling's name.

"Just want to teach me a lesson? Then I'd like to hear who arranged this. You didn't come here on your own, did you? Don't say that, I don't believe you."

Xu Tian said calmly, his tone already revealing a hint of coldness.
