Three days later, Qiao Anping signed for Zheng Dao's release and watched as she and Vigilante A left Sky Gardens one after the other.
In the office, Qiao Anping watched as they left.
"Everything about this hero is good, but he's still not human. With this dragon's appetite, we won't be able to have a meal with him in the future, let alone have a drink. What a shame, "he sighed, not caring about the huge bill. Instead, it was a shame that he could not really have a meal with Vigilante A.
"Alright, Uncle, with that kind of appetite, we can't handle it no matter how rich we are. I did some calculations, even if we're insiders, this is still part of our business. The academy won't charge us according to the market price, we might have to ask you to pay half of it. That would be a bill of more than 70 million. I realized that every time Vigilante A helps us, we have to pay a lot, "Qiao Zijiang pouted.
Qiao Anping laughed, "Alright, alright, I know I've caused you a lot of trouble this time. But even though you're the Zhuge of the Qiao family, and you've always thought that you're smarter than me and Zishan combined, it's a shame that you're still not as generous as us. "
Qiao Zijiang wanted to vomit blood, 'You two are so generous, you'll spend it all sooner or later.'
Qiao Anping lectured again, "Don't be upset, your grandfather told me before he left that money is just a worldly possession. As long as you make a real friend, you'll get it all back. On the other hand, if you make a bad friend, you'll lose it all in one night. If we make friends with Vigilante A, our family won't have to worry for a thousand years. "
Qiao Zijiang could not refute that. Her uncle was able to become the deputy director of the Academy of Special Training at the age of 40. Being generous and making friends was one of the reasons, but being able to discern which friends to befriend was the main reason.
That's right, Vigilante A's true form was a dragon, and he could live for at least a thousand years. With his personality, would he not help if his family was in danger? That was impossible.
Qiao Zijiang nodded, "That's true, but how are you so sure that he's a good friend, Uncle?"
She had always been curious about this point. Her uncle seemed to be very generous, but among the friends he made, none of them were just there to make up the numbers or to do evil.
It was just like how Elder Ancestor Bai used to be kind and amiable, but her uncle told her that he could not see through him. It was hard to tell whether he was good or evil, so it was better for her and her brother to have less contact with him. However, this point of view could only be used to get along with others and choose friends. It could not be put on the table to criticize the other party.
She relied on her outstanding intelligence to analyze a person's character in detail and become a good judge of character. How could her uncle be so accurate?
Hearing this, Qiao Anping laughed again. "I knew you would be confused. I don't have Zijiang's brain. The reason I judged that he was worth befriending was because he acted like a glutton, yet he said that he had never forced Fang Ning, the Divine Chef, to cook for him.
Secondly, with his strength, you and Hai Lan were whispering to each other, afraid that he would eat too much and offend others. If I could hear you and Hai Lan whispering to each other, afraid that he would eat too much, I'm sure he could hear it too.
I, Thirteen, followed your grandfather to the overseas battlefield. After thirty years of hard work, I've reached the pinnacle of murderous martial arts. No one in this world can compare to me. "
At this point, Qiao Anping's face was full of pride, but Qiao Zijiang's expression was calm and did not show any signs of admiration. He was disappointed. He knew that he had boasted too much in front of the two juniors. Zishan was an honest man and always believed in him. Every time he heard it, he would show an expression of admiration. However, Zijiang was smart enough to see through him and was immune to it.
He had no choice but to continue, "Because of this, I will be able to detect anyone who shows even the slightest bit of murderous intent in front of me. Vigilante A is more than a hundred times stronger than you and Hai Lan. If it was any other powerhouse, they would more or less show a hint of displeasure or even murderous intent after hearing what you said. However, when he heard what you said, he did not show any of it. This is enough to prove that he is an upright person. Even when facing people who are far inferior to him, he treats them equally. "
Qiao Zijiang started nodding. So it was related to the core technique that her uncle cultivated. That was why her uncle had such a strong ability to judge people.
Uncle's method of judging people would definitely hurt a lot of people. After all, it was not so easy to judge whether a person was good or evil. However, one thing was for sure. As long as her uncle truly recognized a friend, they would definitely be people with kindness in their hearts. They would never do anything evil.
Seeing Qiao Zijiang show a hint of admiration, Qiao Anping was greatly comforted and laughed.
As he laughed, he thought to himself, 'After eating with Vigilante A, I was called over by Hai Lan to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. It's troublesome, but at least I can take out some of the analysis that wasn't quite right and use it to shock this talented niece of mine. At least I've earned back some face today.'
However, the facts proved that he had been overthinking …
Qiao Zijiang then felt that something was wrong. She immediately asked doubtfully, "But brother said before that Vigilante A cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness and had even reached the End Realm long ago. This information was submitted a long time ago. Not to mention the small matter that Aunt Lan and I talked about, even if he encountered a bigger problem, he would be as calm as an ancient well. Why would he have any anger or killing intent? Not to mention that uncle could sense it. His Path of Ruthlessness is the natural nemesis of uncle's killing intent sensing method. "
Qiao Anping was stunned when he heard this. He touched his head and could no longer laugh, "Oh, so that's how it is. Actually, of course uncle knew about this. Everything I said just now was to test whether you could understand it or not, Zijiang. Now that I see it, you are indeed our daughter Zhuge. Your mind is so clear and useful. Of course uncle has a real way to see if Vigilante A is a person worth befriending. "
Qiao Zijiang slanted her eyes and tilted her head. She had a look of disbelief on her face. Her meaning was clear: Your brain is obviously as bad as brother's. You're at a loss for words now, aren't you? How could you have a real way?
Qiao Anping saw that he was pretending to be defeated in front of his niece, so he could only tell the truth, "Alright, alright. The first part was what I really thought before, but the anger and killing intent after that were all made up. But when I looked at other people, I really did see them that way.
It's just that when I looked at this guy who practiced the Path of Ruthlessness, I really couldn't sense his anger or killing intent at that time. So this time, I was purely relying on my intuition. When I heard him say that he never forced Fang Ning, the Divine Chef, to cook, I felt that he was a person worth befriending. Because that would be too easy to verify, he wouldn't lie like that. "
Qiao Zijiang nodded. This was her uncle's personality. His analysis just now was so clear, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with it. He was trying to pretend in front of her again. When she was young, she knew little and was often fooled by him, but now she could tell that he was lying.
Although she thought that way, Qiao Zijiang naturally wouldn't care about it.
With her clever mind, she naturally knew that her uncle was a person who was heroic in front of others, but never arrogant. Why did he always like to find opportunities to establish a high and mighty image in front of her and her brother?
He always wanted the two of them to see him as a powerful and resourceful person.
That was because he wanted the two of them to live in peace and freedom, without any worries.
But he wouldn't know that even if he lost all his strength, his body bent, lying on the bed unable to move, unable to say a word … In her and her brother's hearts, he would always be a mountain when he stood up, and a mountain when he fell.
Qiao Zijiang naturally wanted to smooth things over for her uncle. She wasn't as straightforward as her brother, so she asked again, "Since you know that he practiced the Path of Ruthlessness, why did you still have that intuition? When I heard from my brother, whenever I heard about the Path of Ruthlessness, I felt a little scared. I always felt that he didn't even recognize his own family. "
When Qiao Anping heard this, he immediately patted her head and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? Others might be afraid, but the Qiao family doesn't have to be afraid. There's nothing scary about the Path of Ruthlessness. How could there be feelings in the movement of the sun and moon? Do they make people feel afraid? No, because they all have their own rules. When it comes to living beings, it's the rules. Because Vigilante A practiced the Path of Ruthlessness, his own rules are as stable as the movement of the sun and moon, and won't change because of external factors.
His rules are very simple, which is to not bully the weak and innocent, and only to punish sinners. Of course, you can't use this to purposely provoke him. So as long as the Qiao family follows the teachings of our ancestors and doesn't do evil, we will never have any conflicts with him. Instead, we will have a strong ally. "
Qiao Zijiang smiled, "So that's how you deduced it. You're an uncle after all, and your talent in cultivation is high. No wonder you can become one of the seven leaders of the Truth Department at the age of forty. When it comes to cultivation, no matter how smart your niece is, I still can't catch up to you. "
Hearing this, Qiao Anping smiled in satisfaction, "Haha, you're not bad yourself, Zijiang. Although you're still lacking compared to me and Zishan, the Qiao family's cultivation inheritance can be passed down by the two of us. You should focus on learning other things, you can't always go out and risk your life. Why don't you become a teacher in the academy? Now that we're expanding our enrollment, we're still short on manpower, so this place is more important. "
Qiao Zijiang heard that her uncle was going to talk about letting her stay at home, so she immediately changed the topic, "Vigilante A is done. What about the other powerhouses? Uncle, take this chance to tell me about them. "
Speaking of this, Qiao Anping's expression calmed down. After a while, he sighed and said, "The other powerhouses, it's not as easy to get along with them as it is to get along with Vigilante A. From Vigilante A's trajectory, it can be seen that he only knows how to kill bad guys to earn money. He never has any thoughts of scheming, and he doesn't have any grand goal of dominating. He's a loner. If you meet him, it doesn't matter even if you don't greet him. "
Qiao Zijiang nodded, "This has been confirmed repeatedly, or else everyone wouldn't be so comfortable with a powerhouse like him hanging around outside."
