"I pull my fist back so that the next punch will be more powerful," Gao Peng muttered to himself, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
Ji Hanwu nodded appreciatively. It seemed like his grandson was quite intelligent.
"Originally, I wanted to look for you directly after returning to the mainland, but something happened. I was afraid of bringing danger to you, so I didn't come looking for you," Ji Hanwu said seriously to Gao Peng.
"I understand. Uncle Liu … told me that you had something to do and couldn't come looking for me for the time being." Gao Peng nodded.
"At the beginning of the Cataclysm, I was trapped on an island and only returned to the mainland after a year. At that time, the Southern Sky Group had already changed. My return made some people panic, and some people hated me to the core. They wanted me dead day and night, but they couldn't kill me. But you were different. At that time, you couldn't sign a Blood Contract, so you were a completely ordinary person. I couldn't take care of you in all aspects. "Ji Hanwu sighed. "I couldn't let anything happen to your safety."
"After all … you're the only family I have left in this world."
"Then now, about your group …" Gao Peng hesitated for a moment. "If there's a need, maybe I can help you. I have a lot of experience in cultivating Familiars."
Ji Hanwu smiled and waved his hand. "The group's affairs are almost done. Only a few small shrimps are still struggling. They can't make any waves."
Ji Hanwu spoke very calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"I came this time to see you." Ji Hanwu carefully observed Gao Peng. It was completely different from what he saw in the video. It was more real, and there was a kind of throbbing that came from the depths of his heart.
After a moment of silence, Ji Hanwu sighed. "You've grown taller."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gestured. "I remember that you were only this tall back then. Now you're almost as tall as my ear."
Gao Peng nodded. Grandpa was indeed very tall.
He was 1.9 meters tall, which was considered extremely tall in his grandfather's era.
"Just a while ago, someone tried to disqualify you from the competition," Ji Hanwu said.
Gao Peng was not surprised because someone had already talked to him before he returned to the hotel.
Although they didn't chat very happily.
"I know you rejected him, but if he wants to take away your right to compete, he won't just use words to persuade you. He's just trying peaceful means before resorting to force."
"What kind of strategy?"
"First, they will ruin your reputation. The girl who invited you to dinner outside the hotel was ordered by that person. Then, something will happen between you and that girl. Then, the girl will frame you for rape."
"After that, I'll add fuel to the fire. You're just a good kid with no background. You won't be able to defend yourself no matter how hard you try. I'm afraid you'll never be able to take off this hat on your head."
Gao Peng was silent. After his reputation was ruined, there were many ways to deal with him.
He didn't need his grandfather to tell him that.
"Then how are you going to deal with him?" Ji Hanwu smiled.
"Who is he?"
"The mayor of Jinling Base City, Han Mingyuan."
"…" Gao Peng's teeth hurt. How was he going to take revenge on such a big shot?
"I hope that you can take revenge on your own. If there's a need, Grandpa will do his best to help you. Actually, it's good to have a motivation to spur you on. "
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa." Gao Peng nodded.
Gao Peng never thought of himself as a generous person. If someone plotted against him, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
Han Mingyuan. Gao Peng indicated that he would remember this name.
"Also, I hope that you can give up on the Alliance Youth Monster Trainer Conference." Ji Hanwu said to Gao Peng. "This has nothing to do with that Han guy. It's just a simple opinion of your grandfather."
Gao Peng was a little puzzled.
"It's only been three years since the Cataclysm. Actually, the gap between everyone isn't that big. Age doesn't give anyone the slightest advantage. Whether it's 30, 40, or 50 years old, everyone is standing on the same starting line. Why do you have to be petty and pursue the title of the strongest youth monster trainer? Wouldn't it be better to remove the word 'youth'? "
Gao Peng was stunned. "The strongest … monster trainer?"
"Yes, the strongest monster trainer." Ji Hanwu nodded approvingly. "A man should be ambitious!"
These words gave Gao Peng a different feeling in his heart.
In a trance, a door opened in the depths of his mind.
The word "ambition" had always been used as a derogatory term, but it also contained a layer of mystery.
Ji Hanwu stood up and walked to Gao Peng's side. He patted Gao Peng's shoulder, signalling for Gao Peng to stand up. He looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the reinforced concrete pipes. "Times have changed. This is the best time for ambitious people. Although the Alliance is currently in control of the overall situation, it's only temporary. Sooner or later, a bigger conflict will erupt.
Tell me, when a person can drive a familiar to destroy mountains and overturn rivers and seas, would he still be willing to be ordinary? Would he be satisfied with his current status? A person's desire is proportional to his ability. "Ji Hanwu smiled.
"Maybe there are strong people who are willing to maintain order, but everything in the world is divided into yin and yang. There will definitely be many people who want to destroy order."
Gao Peng was silent. He suddenly didn't dare to imagine that day in the future.
"So, work hard to make yourself stronger. Participating in this kind of competition is just a waste of time," Ji Hanwu encouraged.
"Grandpa, then … then do you want to maintain order or …"
"Of course it's to protect you," Ji Hanwu said firmly.
Gao Peng's heart warmed.
"Grandpa, then I'll withdraw from the competition," Gao Peng suddenly said.
Ji Hanwu nodded happily. "Okay, Grandpa supports you."
After a pause, Ji Hanwu said seriously, "Grandpa has also prepared a small gift for you. In three months, when the competition begins, I will recommend you to participate in the competition as a referee."
"??!" Gao Peng was stunned.
"But it's not without conditions. I can get this recommendation for you, but whether or not you can get it depends on your hard work in the next three months. If you're too weak, you can't afford to lose face." Ji Hanwu laughed loudly. At the same time, he gave himself a thumbs up.
Just now, he had thought of this idea to motivate his grandson. He knew that although his grandson had been successfully persuaded, he was still a little unhappy.
So, the well-intentioned old man had specially come up with this idea to motivate his grandson.
Gao Peng had to admit that he was really tempted.
Participating in this kind of competition was indeed meaningless, but being a referee was very interesting …
Thinking about it, when the competition started and they saw their original teammate suddenly become a referee, those candidates would definitely be very happy.
