King of Assassins

Helen was wearing a loose home dress with small floral patterns, her golden hair casually braided into a loose braid. She wasn't even wearing shoes, just barefoot.

None of this could hide her unparalleled beauty, nor conceal the noble temperament that emanated from her bones. Her eyes still sparkled with that kind of happy and joyful glow, making her whole appearance simply dazzling.

Sitting on the sofa, Helen insisted on clinging to Gao Xuan's arm, her small face always pressed against him. It seemed as if she were glued to him.

The combination of their looks was so perfect, it felt like they were truly a match made in heaven. Simply unbeatable.

Unlike other women who would hug Gao Xuan, all of whom would be overshadowed by his looks. When Xiao Ting hugged Gao Xuan, it always gave the impression she was his personal maid.

The more Xiao Wan looked, the more sour she felt, and she regretted it greatly.

With Helen around, Gao Xuan probably wouldn't seek out another woman. If she had known, she would have made a move on Gao Xuan earlier.

No one paid attention to Xiao Wan's slightly resentful gaze, as Xiao Cheng and Xiao Jun were both watching Helen.

This beloved daughter of Hercules was indeed very outstanding.

Not only in appearance and temperament, but more importantly, her cultivation was powerful. Even while sitting there, the Source Power aura emanating from her was as deep as the sea. Both Xiao Jun and Xiao Cheng felt a considerable pressure.

No wonder Hercules was anxious; such an outstanding talent would be a treasure in any family.

Even in the Central Star Realm, Helen was considered the top-tier talent.

However, as outstanding as Helen was, she still seemed slightly weaker when beside Gao Xuan.

Indeed, Gao Xuan seemed to overshadow Helen in every aspect, able to dominate and control this exceptionally outstanding girl.

Coming from a lowly background, the resources available to Gao Xuan were far less compared to Helen. Yet, he was able to rise against the odds and become more exceptional than Helen.

With Helen as a yardstick, only then did Xiao Cheng and others suddenly realize just how strong Gao Xuan was.

No matter their expressions, their true emotional fluctuations could not escape the notice of the Celestial Demon Relic, nor the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

The Xiao Family had varied thoughts, mostly of surprise, envy, and jealousy. However, Xiao Jun was the most composed, with the smallest emotional fluctuations.

Even Gao Xuan couldn't guess what the old man was thinking. However, it was apparent that the old man's emotions towards him were mostly positive.

No matter the reason, the old man would likely choose to support him. It must be said that Xiao Jun had justification for being the patriarch.

Comparatively, Xiao Cheng seemed strong on the outside but weak inside, lacking the confidence to control the overall situation. Therefore, he was always easily influenced by external factors.

The matters concerning Lanting Garden revealed Xiao Cheng's true nature. In terms of decision-making, he was even less capable than Xiao Wan.

Gao Xuan rather liked this old man Xiao Jun. As a patriarch, he was quite competent.

He wasn't afraid of falling out with the Xiao Family, but there was no need for it.

In the past few months, his development with the Xiao Family had been quite successful, and their relationship could be considered harmonious.

If he were to fall out with the Xiao Family now, staying in Taurus would be impossible. His months of hard work would all go to waste.

To participate in the university Sword Dao League, he could only go to the Central Star Realm.

There were many troubles there, too many uncontrollable factors.

The key issue was that there were too many Golden Powerhouses in the Central Star Realm. If something really happened, it would be a significant problem.

Before advancing to Gold, he didn't want to flaunt himself in the Central Star Realm.

The finals of the Sword Dao League were in August, and he had five months. He was confident he could advance to Gold.

As for the troubles from the Xiao Family, Gao Xuan truly didn't mind.

In an environment like Taurus, he could take on any Golden Powerhouse.

Unless it was the most top-tier, peerless Golden Powerhouses. But such figures couldn't be easily summoned by others. The Lin and Wang families, with their status, had no means to contact them.

Unfortunately, if he were to say this, no one would believe him. Gao Xuan couldn't just kill a Golden Sword Saint to prove himself.

He could only manage Helen, showing a stance of mastering the overall situation. As long as the Xiao Family people weren't foolish, they should know he was the most important person.

Xiao Jun, understanding the situation, said to Gao Xuan, "Mr. Hercules and I are good friends. With Helen as your guest, you must take good care of her on my behalf. If you need anything, you can let me know."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Helen. I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Before Gao Xuan finished speaking, Helen, beside him, wanted to make a request but was stopped by Gao Xuan squeezing her small hand.

Yet Xiao Jun noticed this, and with a smile said, "It's not easy for Miss Helen to visit. Staying here might be inconvenient. I have a villa at Golden Bay; I'll gift it to you. You can take Miss Helen there, where the conditions are better..."

After expressing his concern for Helen with a few words, Xiao Jun left with his people.

Back in the car, Xiao Cheng was bewildered, not understanding why they came with such fanfare if they said nothing.

Xiao Jun ignored Xiao Cheng and told Xiao Wan, "You follow Gao Xuan and help him arrange everything."

He emphasized, "You must not let Gao Xuan go astray. If anything happens again with the Lin and Wang families, it will break our bottom line. The major Noble Families won't tolerate us. You must keep an eye on Gao Xuan."

Xiao Wan nodded somewhat bewilderedly. She understood Xiao Jun's intentions but didn't quite grasp his concerns.

After reminding Xiao Wan a few more times, Xiao Cheng hurried to get in the car.

When Gao Xuan saw Xiao Wan return, he wasn't surprised at all.

At critical times, it was reasonable for Xiao Jun to have someone follow him to prevent any rash actions.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "The old man is really generous, giving me his vacation villa."

"You're really lucky; that villa of the old man's is the top-notch one, with a building area of over twenty thousand square meters, three independent villas, and a private twenty-square-kilometer beach..."
