"What's the matter? Why aren't you back so late? You said that as your bodyguard, he doesn't protect you at all times. What if you are in danger?" The second aunt looked worried.
Ling Xuewei said calmly, "Second Aunt, I am in the Ling Mansion now. Do you think I will be in danger at home?"
A simple sentence made Liu Ruyi choked and speechless.
Liu Ruyi's face darkened, and she took a deep breath to calm down a little.
She couldn't get angry with Ling Xuewei today. They came to discuss with Ling Xuewei.
Liu Ruyi hypnotized herself, then continued with a smile.
"Weier, don't think my aunt is talkative. You are still young now, and sometimes you can't tell the difference between good and bad. After all, your guard is an outsider and cannot be compared to the ones in our house. Why don't you let your mother select a few strong martial artists for you?
Guards, let them protect you and save your father from worrying, what do you think?"
Ling Xuewei sneered in her heart.
These people haven't given up yet?
She put all her plans on those around her.
"Yes! Wei'er!" Ling Xiao also said, "An outsider is an outsider after all. If you let a stranger follow you, your father will never worry! What if he has any ill intentions towards you?"
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly, "Thank you for your concern, father. I think Yifeng is very good and very loyal to me, and I am very satisfied with it. As for father's guard, you can use it yourself, I won't occupy it."
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Weier, you don't listen to your father's words, do you? No matter how loyal your guard is to you, he is still not from the Ling family! How can you appoint such a person? You'd better find someone else
Resign him as soon as possible when you have the opportunity, and my father will arrange a new guard for you!"
Because he was not from the Ling family, he could not be driven by the Ling family. This was probably what made Ling Xiao unhappy.
Ling Xuewei sneered in her heart.
This is a plan to use force, right?
Do you really think she, Ling Xuewei, is going to do this?
"Father, if you want to fire my guard, then please go and tell him. I won't fire him!"
Ling Xuewei said coldly.
Ling Xiao's expression turned cold, "What do you mean?"
"I didn't want Yifeng to leave in the first place." Ling Xuewei said lightly, "Since this is my father's decision, it is natural that my father should go and tell him."
As long as you have the ability to persuade him!
Ling Xuewei added silently in her heart.
Seeing a great master in the Ling Mansion, but this great master cannot be used by the Ling Mansion.
The eyes of these people in the Ling Mansion may have turned red like rabbits.
Seeing that they couldn't win over each other, they decided to drive Xiao Yifeng away, and everyone broke up.
"Ling Xuewei! Don't be too presumptuous!!" Ling Xiao got up and slapped the table in anger.
If he had the courage to communicate with Xiao Yifeng, he wouldn't need to beat around the bush to find Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei shrugged casually, "What father and daughter said is the truth. If you want Yifeng to leave, you should tell him yourself."
"Pah——!"
Ling Xiao slammed the table again.
"Naughty girl! Now that your wings have become stronger, you don't take me seriously anymore! Look at your appearance now. Do you still have any trace of your original well-behaved appearance?"
"What did father say?" Ling Xuewei looked at Ling Xiao innocently, "My guard is loyal to me. I dismissed him for no reason. It cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally. But it is up to father to say that he left on his own.
, then I have no choice."
"How dare you talk back!! This is what I teach you on weekdays?!" Ling Xiao listened to Xia Yiqing's reasoning, and her hands were trembling with anger.
"Okay, sir, the third girl is still young, so don't get angry with her. What should you do if your anger breaks out?" Liu Ruyi quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
Ling Xiao sat down angrily, calmed down, and said, "Let's not talk about the guards for now. I came to you today because I have another thing to talk about."
Everyone in the Ling family sat upright and looked at the main seat.
"The annual Four Nations Competition is about to begin. Last year, although many people from our Ling Mansion participated, most of them were ranked among the top 100 due to lack of strength, and we lost a lot of people as a result."
Ling Xiao said from the main seat.
"So this time, I want to prepare a trial within the family in advance. The top five will be able to represent the Ling family in the Four Nations Competition."
"Father, you said you want to hold a trial?" Ling Xuesi asked.
"Yes, for the sake of the family, I think it is better to screen out capable people in advance to participate in the Four Nations Competition, so as to save a lot of people from being embarrassed!"
The decision made by Ling Xiao left no room for discussion at all.
"Ling Fu, I will leave this matter to you and decide on the candidates to participate in the trial. The trial will begin tomorrow afternoon, and I will be there in person!"
Ling Fu bowed, "Yes, sir."
Ling Xiao glanced around below, and then his eyes stopped on Ling Xuewei.
"Except for Wei'er, everyone here must participate in tomorrow's trial, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone present knows that Ling Xuewei is a useless person whose spiritual veins have been destroyed!
It was expected that she would not participate.
Everyone looked at Ling Xuewei with gloating eyes.
In times like this before, Ling Xuewei was always arrogant, and she was the only one who had similar success in competitions.
Now Ling Xuewei can't even participate in the competition, things have really changed.
Thinking about it, she feels very unhappy now, right?
There are many people in the Ling family who dislike Ling Xuewei. At this time, there are always people who like to come out and say some weird words.
"It's such a pity for the third sister. I still remember the last time my sister participated in the Four Nations Competition. She also stood out in the competition and became a blockbuster. But this time I'm afraid..."
"What's such a pity? Third sister doesn't have to take part in the trial. Isn't this a joy and a relief?"
"That's right! In the future, these trials and competitions will not have any share in the Third Sister's favor!"
"It's also very good to be a person who can eat at home."
…
Ling Xuesi also showed regret on her face, and she pretended to comfort Ling Xuewei.
"Please rest assured, sister. This time, I will definitely win glory for the Ling family and get a good ranking. Just wait and see, sister!"
Although Ling Xuesi looked very humble, the pride in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Everyone was watching Ling Xuewei's joke and took every opportunity to crush Ling Xuewei to death without mercy.
However, Ling Xuewei's next words caused the smiles on the faces of everyone present at Ling Mansion to disappear.
"Who said I won't take part in the trial?"
Everyone present was stunned, and the inner hall instantly exploded.
"Why do you still want to participate in the trial?"
"Is it possible that you still want to pass the trial and win the qualification to participate in the Four Nations Competition?"
"Stop being embarrassed!"
"You should just embroider at home honestly!"
…
Ling Xuewei was allowed not to participate in the trial, and everyone ridiculed her. Ling Xuewei decided to participate in the trial, but everyone still refused to let her go.
Ling Xuewei never expected to hear good words from this group of people.
She just asked calmly.
"Didn't my father say that as long as you are a disciple of Ling Mansion, you can participate in the trial? Why can't I participate?"
Everyone looked at each other, and they suddenly realized that Ling Xuewei was not joking with them when she said she wanted to participate in the trial.
Then there was a burst of laughter in the hall!
"Hahaha! You useless person still wants to participate in the Four Nations Competition? Are you kidding?!"
"That's right! You don't even know how much you can do, and you just talk nonsense! How stupid!"
"Father, you must not let her compete! Otherwise, it will be our Ling family's face that will be lost!"
"That's right..."
…
"Shut up!"
Ling Xiao was so noisy that his head hurt, and the hall immediately fell silent with a loud shout.
"Weier, do you really want to participate in the trial?"
Ling Xuewei nodded, "Of course it's true. I have the qualifications to ask to participate in the trial. Father, you can't deprive me of my rights!"
Ling Xiao looked disapproving.
This trial is for the subsequent competition between the four nations.
Since Ling Xuewei said she wanted to participate in the trial, her goal was very clear, which was the Four Kingdoms Competition.
"Don't be ridiculous! You can't even use your spiritual energy to participate in some four-nation competition?! Just stay at home! Don't go out and embarrass me!"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
Ling Xuewei seemed to have expected this kind of reaction. She said slowly, "Father, since the trial only takes the top five, what does it matter if you ask me to give it a try?"
"Are you sure? Let's first say that tomorrow's trial will be very harsh, and as a father, I will never show favoritism. Do you understand?"
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly, "That's natural."
"Okay, as a father I can promise you, but you must promise me one condition."
"Father, please speak."
"If you fail the test tomorrow, the guards around you must leave Ling Mansion, and they must obey your father's orders in everything from now on. Do you understand?"
It seems that Ling Xiao will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Ling Xuewei was not surprised that he would make this request, she had expected it.
"Okay, I agree."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with pride, "Okay! This matter is settled! Ling Fu, add the third lady's name! Everyone will gather in the main courtyard at noon tomorrow!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked away!
Other people in the hall also left one after another, but the looks they looked at when they left were full of ridicule.
Because none of them believed that Ling Xuewei would really pass the trial.
Ling Xuewei didn't stop, got up and left.
However, not long after he left the main hall, he was blocked by Ling Yanfeng and others in the outer courtyard.
In addition to the people in the second bedroom, there are also those in the third and fourth bedrooms. There are more than a dozen people in the group, all the masters of the Ling family, big and small.
I am deliberately stuck here at this moment, thinking with my toes that nothing good will happen.
Although Ling Yanfeng was fined and grounded, due to Ling Xiao's summons today, everyone had to attend, so he was released again.
"What's the matter?" Ling Xuewei said coldly.
"Who is this! Isn't she my good third sister? Where are you going? Take your brothers with you..."
