The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 701

Li Tai believed he had no chance of losing.

He believed that Xu Tian would never dare to hurt him so blatantly.

The two entered the training ground, and all the students and tutors came to the arena.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Who knows?"

"Don't you know? The prince is a martial arts practitioner, but as for Lord Xu... well, that's another story!"

"How about we make a bet?"

One of the students took out some silver notes.

The others started to jeer as well.

In the end, all the silver notes ended up in Li Tai's hands.

Because they felt that Xu Tian looked gentle and refined, and didn't seem like someone who could win a fight.

However, the result left them speechless.

Xu Tian easily subdued Li Tai.

This one doesn't count!

Li Tai acted like a scoundrel.

They were unwilling to admit that they had lost.

Then, before the referee could even speak, he stabbed Xu Tian.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Xu Tian merely raised the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and then kicked Li Tai to the ground.

Li Tai immediately tilted his head back.

Xu Tian's sword then landed on his neck.

"you lose!"

Xu Tian spoke softly.

Li Tai stood up abruptly and left in anger.

Completely ignoring the shouts from behind, "The prince hasn't apologized yet!"

Because of this incident, Li Tai hated Xu Tian even more.

Now, he hates Xu Tian so much that his teeth itch with rage whenever the name is mentioned.

I wish someone would kill Xu Tian right now.

One day, he invited the King of Chongshan to drink, and during their conversation, they talked about Xu Tian.

"I've heard that you and Xu Tian haven't been getting along lately?"

Li Tai was furious at the mention of Xu Tian.

"That ungrateful wretch, I, the prince, will teach him a lesson one day."

Li Kuan shook his head helplessly.

They were all aware of Li Tai's true nature.

If you can't have it, you have to destroy it.

He picked up a glass of wine and said inscrutably, "You've got it wrong. You should know that everyone wants to win that person over."

"That was your father's muse! And you actually wanted to kill him."

Upon hearing Li Kuan's words, Li Tai couldn't help but frown.

"What muse? That's utterly absurd."

"My father is completely infatuated with him, but I am perfectly clear-headed."

"Treacherous minister and rebellious son."

“He is completely unsuitable to serve as an official in the court. Such a person should be demoted to a commoner.”

“It wouldn’t be too much to kill him now. There are many more people who want him dead than just me.”

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Kuan could only shake his head helplessly.

The Xu Tian he heard was different from the Xu Tian Li Tai spoke of.

"The reason those people wanted to kill him was simply out of jealousy."

"Could it be that you, Prince, are also jealous of Xu Tian?"

“You are a prince, and you have responsibilities that go far beyond just the prince’s residence.”

"Your future needs talents like Xu Tian."

Li Tai never expected Li Kuan to say that to him, Xu Tian.

In your heart, Li Kuan, Xu Tian actually holds such a high position.

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Li Tai was momentarily stunned.

Li Kuan smiled gently.

He believed from the beginning that Xu Tian was a talented person.

A rare talent.

If such a talented person is ruined by Li Tai.

That would truly be a misfortune for the Tang Dynasty.

"What you want is not to kill him, but to win him over and bring him under your wing."

Li Kuan's suggestion that Li Tai win over Xu Tian was something Li Tai never expected.

Although he also wanted to win over Yang Chao.

But now I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
