In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly two months.
Xiao family, there are only two days until the Xiao family competition.
The disciples of the Xiao family under the age of twenty are all working hard and making their final efforts. Especially the disciples of the Ji generation and the Xiang generation. These two generations of disciples are the main force in the year-end competition, and everyone must also
For those who participate, the final ranking is related to the family treatment they can receive in the first half of next year.
This is not only a matter of appearance, but also has substantial benefits. Especially for those who can rank in the top ten of each generation, the treatment they enjoy is absolutely superb. Unfortunately, Chen Hao, who was originally qualified to enjoy it, did not
Just enjoy it.
As early as ten days ago, all the disciples no longer concentrated on practicing, and all practiced on their own, making their final efforts for the upcoming family competition.
…
Xiao family, in Mr. Xiao's room.
"Old Ancestor, will something happen to my junior brother? There will be a family competition in two days, why aren't you back yet?" After Xiao Jiyan completed her training under the protection of Mr. Xiao, she looked at Mr. Xiao, a little bit
asked worriedly.
Although Xiao Jiyan is young and relatively innocent, she now understands that Chen Hao was more or less suppressed by Xiao Jihan because of herself. This makes her feel somewhat guilty. Although she has long known that Mr. Xiao would not
Watching Chen Hao die in a life-and-death battle with Xiao Jihan ultimately put a lot of pressure on the current Chen Hao.
Otherwise, Chen Hao would not have decided to undergo the training that is only possible at the warrior level when he was first promoted to a martial arts disciple.
This was completely forced by Xiao Jihan...
But now, Chen Hao has been away for four months. This has never happened before among the Xiao family disciples. Even for training, it usually takes at most ten and a half days before returning to the family for supplies. At least he needs to adjust.
After a period of time, he would set off again. But Chen Hao never came back even once.
If anything happens to Chen Hao, Xiao Jiyan will feel very guilty.
"Don't mention that kid..." Mr. Xiao, who was originally calm, suddenly became angry when he heard Xiao Jiyan's words. He blew his beard and glared, seemingly very angry...
Xiao Jiyan stuck out her tongue. She was not surprised. Xiao Jiyan had seen Mr. Xiao like this several times.
Of course, Mr. Xiao would only behave like this when she mentioned Chen Hao. Although Xiao Jiyan didn't know what was going on specifically, she knew that it must be related to Chen Hao. She could vaguely guess it.
At first, when Chen Hao strongly requested to go to the Moyun Mountains for training, Mr. Xiao originally refused to agree. Later, he was entangled and had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Chen Hao.
However, when Chen Hao left, Mr. Xiao followed. After all, Chen Hao was the most talented disciple that Mr. Xiao had encountered in decades. He did not want Chen Hao to die in the extremely dangerous Moyun Mountains.
,Secret protection is necessary.
But what surprised Xiao Jiyan was that just three days later, Mr. Xiao came back alone with a depressed look. From then on, whenever Xiao Jiyan asked Chen Hao, Mr. Xiao would blow his beard and glare, and even his old face would turn red...
…
When we first met, Xiao Jiyan was surprised and shocked, but after seeing her more often, she got used to it.
"Old Ancestor, aren't we worried about your precious disciple... Is he really going to be okay? There are only two days left... Isn't it possible that my junior brother doesn't dare to come back?"
"Don't dare? He dares even my ancestor... You don't need to worry about him. Before the competition, that brat will definitely come back..."
"Ancestor, how can you be so sure? Let's talk to Yan'er..."
"That kid is just a pervert. Say whatever you want...Okay, there are still two days left. You don't have to come here anymore. You can prepare yourself...Go, go..."
"Oh..." Xiao Jiyan pouted, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly turned her head and said to Mr. Xiao: "Old ancestor, you must have lost your junior brother, right?"
"Nonsense! It's nothing... Ancestor, I am a master at the level of Emperor Wu. Are you missing him? I just don't want to worry about this kid... Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly..." Mr. Xiao was hurt by the words, and his face turned red.
Pretending to be angry and wanting to teach Xiao Jiyan a lesson, she said.
It’s really shameful that I, a master at the level of Emperor Martial Arts, let a small martial arts disciple sneak away with low eyelids. It’s just a matter of running away. He also left messages threatening to give up training and other reasons to ask Mr. Xiao not to do it again.
Follow...
"Giggle..." Xiao Jiyan chuckled and ran out of the house quickly.
After walking out of the house, Xiao Jiyan frowned and said to herself: "I must have guessed it right... But why isn't my ancestor worried? The younger brother is really powerful. It is so difficult to get started with "Secret of Immortality".
I was promoted to the ninth-level martial arts disciple in just a few months, which is several times faster than I did before. I don’t know where I am now... I only have two days left... Senior Brother Ji Han..."
Thinking of Xiao Jihan, Xiao Jiyan slowly frowned.
Xiao Jihan has always had a very good image in her mind, and he is also a senior brother that she respects, likes and even admires. Especially Xiao Jihan treats her better than her own brother, and his pampering and care in every possible way makes her psychologically aware of him.
They are very dependent on each other. Xiao Jihan has been in the Xiao family for three years. During these three years, the relationship between the two has been as close as brother and sister.
However, because of Chen Hao, she had a slight estrangement from Xiao Jihan...
Originally, she wanted to ask Xiao Jihan face to face, but Xiao Jihan didn't give her a chance and went into seclusion directly.
On one side is her senior brother who dotes on her in every possible way and is closer than her own brother, and on the other is her younger junior brother who is very fond of her and has unlimited potential. If the two can live in peace, it is naturally what Xiao Jiyan would like to see the most.
But now we have to fight a life and death battle...
Fortunately, Mr. Xiao spoke up and asked the family leader Xiao Ding to mediate, so a life-and-death battle between the two of them should not happen.
"Two months ago, the Sixth Elder reported that Senior Brother Ji Han had been promoted to a first-level martial artist. It's been another two months. I heard that Senior Brother Ji Han's family sent him a fifth-level elixir. With his talent, maybe...
...It’s possible for a third-grade martial artist to be a martial artist... How could the junior brother be his opponent..." Xiao Jiyan frowned slightly, lowered her head, and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion while thinking about her thoughts.
Fifth-level elixirs, even if tempered by a fifth-level martial artist, have astonishing effects. For first-level martial artists, the effect is naturally better. Even with the Xiao family's background, the number of fifth-level elixirs is quite limited.
…
"Ji Yan!"
Just when Xiao Jiyan walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, a gentle and elegant voice, with a hint of joy and pride, suddenly sounded.
Xiao Jihan, who was dressed in white as snow, with a face like a crown jade, and a proud face, appeared in front of Xiao Jiyan with a faint smile. He stared at Xiao Jiyan, who had not seen him for nearly half a year and was even more beautiful.
Her smile became more like a spring breeze, without any concealment of the admiration and love in her eyes.
Apparently, this guy has been waiting at the door for some time.
"We haven't seen you for half a year, Ji Yan, you have become more beautiful..." Xiao Jihan stretched out his hand out of habit, wanting to pat Xiao Jiyan's little head lovingly.
However, Xiao Jiyan, who seemed surprised when she saw Xiao Jihan's sudden appearance, stared back with big eyes, quickly took two steps back, and said: "Senior Brother Jihan..."
"What's wrong? You don't recognize senior brother anymore?" Xiao Jihan smiled slightly, slowly took back his hand that was frozen in the air, and said: "In the past six months, in order for the family to avenge its shame in the Yunzhou Martial Arts Association, senior brother has been in seclusion.
Kuxiu, please don’t misunderstand that senior brother has been alienated from you during this period. No, senior brother has just come out of isolation and came to see you. Look, what is this?"
Xiao Jihan said, taking out an exquisite jewelry box from his arms, with a faint smile on his face, and shook it towards Xiao Jiyan. In the past, Xiao Jiyan would have happily snatched it from Xiao Jihan's hand, but
This time, Xiao Jiyan seemed not to see the gift in Xiao Jihan's hand, and stared at Xiao Jihan with strange eyes.
"Ji Yan... what's wrong with you? Are you really angry? Senior brother really didn't lie to you. He is indeed in retreat. Except for the sixth elder, he has never seen anyone in the past six months. You see...
"Xiao Jihan said.
As he spoke, the aura around his body suddenly changed astonishingly.
boom……
The majestic energy fluctuations emanated from Xiao Jihan in an instant, and his whole body condensed into a fiery red body-protecting aura in an instant. He was dressed in a white shirt without wind, and his long hair was fluttering. The majestic energy
The powerful aura instantly attracted the Xiao family disciples who were passing by. They all stopped in shock and stared at Xiao Jihan, who was standing proudly, with eyes full of envy, jealousy and admiration.
…
"Martial Master...Senior Brother Ji Han has really stepped into the realm of a martial artist. This fluctuation of energy and color... I'm afraid he is a third-grade martial artist, right?"
"Yes, it's so powerful... Xiao Xianghao, that ignorant guy, is dead..."
"That's for sure. He might have died a long time ago. It's been four months since that kid went to the Moyun Mountains for training alone, and he hasn't come back yet..."
"That's not necessarily true. I do think that the boy is more likely to escape. He might have gone to some mountain nook and dared not come out."
"It's possible! If I were him... maybe I would really do this. It would be better to live than die..."
…
"Fourth-grade...fourth-grade martial artist?"
Xiao Jiyan's eyes widened and she said in shock. The fiery red body-protecting aura condensed by Yuan Li is definitely not something that a first- to third-grade martial artist can achieve. Xiao Jiyan naturally knows this better than ordinary Xiao family disciples.
.From the first to the third level, the color is only light red at most, and the third level is the thickest, but it can never reach this color like burning flames. Only the Yuanli above the fourth level martial artist can have this color.
Xiao Jihan listened to the discussion of the people around him, and then saw the shock on Xiao Jiyan's beautiful little face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a smile, and his voice was filled with a hint of arrogance that could not be concealed, and he said: "No, it's the fifth grade
