"Forget it, Senior Brother Jianqiang, you don't have to embarrass Junior Brother Jun!" Duan Jianyang, who had a slightly sinister look in his eyes, understood Duan Jianqiang's meaning as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly persuaded him hypocritically: "Junior Brother Jun has just broken through the fourth level not long ago.
, even the breath is not stable, how can you supervise other junior brothers?"
Duan Jianyang deliberately emphasized the words "unstable breath" and secretly paid attention to Duan Hujun's face. Seeing a hint of embarrassment quickly appear on the latter's face, he felt very happy in his heart.
So what about the eldest grandson of the Yulong Duan clan? He’s not as good as the ordinary direct descendants of their Dali Duan clan!
Duan Jianqiang raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Of course I know this! But even if Junior Brother Jun has just broken through and lacks understanding, Junior Brother Cheng has already entered the fourth level for several years. He should have this
Qualifications? Is it possible?" His narrow eyes deliberately glanced at Duan Hucheng beside him: "Is it possible, Junior Brother Cheng, that you don't want to?"
Just after he said the word "unwilling", before Duan Hucheng and Duan Hjun could react, he immediately shook his head: "No! Junior Brother Jun, this is not okay! You will have to take over from your loyal master uncle in the future.
Ban, sometimes you have to establish your own prestige, no matter how strong Junior Brother Cheng is, you still have to obey the rules of the clan!"
As soon as these words of instruction were spoken, the smiles on both Duan Hucheng and Duan Huxun's faces faltered slightly.
Although he knew that Duan Jianqiang had bad intentions, Duan Hujun, who had a slightly lower cultivation level, still felt a little uncomfortable hearing these words.
When he noticed that the faces of the two people had changed again, Duan Jianyang's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of pride.
Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong, who were sitting in the front row, listened, with a bit of satisfaction in their eyes.
Duan Haiming frowned slightly, feeling secretly annoyed, but due to his status, he couldn't speak out. After all, this was a discussion among a few juniors.
Duan Jianzhong's smile remained unchanged, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Duan Hujiang, who was sitting with him in the back row, didn't want his brother and cousin to be instigated by two villains and hurt their feelings. He cursed in his heart and his mind was racing. He quickly came up with a way to deal with it and replied in a very respectful manner: "Jianqiang
Senior brother, senior brother Jianyang, you are far away in Dali and usually focus on practicing. It is normal that you don’t know some things!"
After setting this tone first, Duan Hujiang said calmly: "Our ancestors have long had strict teachings, 'Filial piety is the first priority!' For us Duan family members, martial arts training is important, and medical skills should not be left behind, let alone
You should always think of sharing the worries of your elders."
"Because my brother suffered internal injuries in his early years and was worried about Grandpa Zeng's chronic illness, all his thoughts were focused on studying medicine and cooperating with several grandfathers, uncles and uncles to test the medicine. Otherwise, he would not have been here until now.
We are still lingering on the peak of the fourth level, and we have already broken through to the early stage of the fifth level.”
"As for Senior Brother Jun, he has a heavy responsibility. He has to take care of the affairs within the clan and restrain other junior brothers and sisters. He has limited energy and it is inevitable that he will not take care of everything."
Speaking of this, Duan Hujiang deliberately sighed softly: "Speaking of which, I still envy Senior Brother Jianqiang and Senior Brother Jianyang. They can enjoy the family's resources without leaving home.
Like us, in order to grow up, we always have to go to the arena to experience and practice. If we are not careful, we will get injured..."
On the surface, this is envy of the Duan family in Dali for their abundant resources. In fact, it is an insinuation that Duan Jianqiang, Duan Jianyang and others are just flowers in the greenhouse. They have reached the level of cultivation, but do not have enough experience. They only dare to show off in front of their brothers.
Prestige, dare not be arrogant in front of outsiders.
Mentioning Duan Haiming's injury also satirizes the Dali Duan family for being too petty. They knew that Duan Haiming was seriously injured, but refused to provide enough medicinal materials to treat Duan Haiming in time, which was why he was left in such trouble.
The old illness hindered Duan Haiming's improvement in cultivation.
And the part where he defended his eldest brother used the reason that his eldest brother was injured to ridicule Duan Jianqiang and Duan Jianyang for not being as good as their eldest brother in martial arts.
Originally, Duan Hucheng was the youngest and even after suffering internal injuries, he was able to raise his cultivation level to the peak of the fourth level. However, Duan Jianqiang and Duan Jianyang were sitting on the rich medicinal material resources of the Duan family in Dali, and they were still normal people and better than Duan Hucheng.
You are still a few years older, but you have only reached the peak of the fourth level. What is there to show off?
Duan Jianqiang, Duan Jianyang and other disciples of the Duan family in Dali were not stupid. They immediately heard the implication of Duan Hujiang's words, and suddenly there was a bit of anger on their brows.
But they couldn't reprimand him explicitly. After all, Duan Hujiang was very smart and used an envious tone instead of accusing or ridiculing.
Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong's faces soon became more gloomy.
On the other hand, Duan Haiming and Duan Jianzhong were very happy, and they also admired the flexible mind of Duan Hujiang.
This kind of thing is not appropriate for Duan Hucheng or Duan Huchun to say, otherwise it will be suspected of boasting and shirking responsibility. However, as a junior brother, Duan Hujiang stepped forward at this moment, which is wonderful.
Luo Han clearly heard Duan Hujiang's pretentious envy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Sure enough, compared to Senior Brother Cheng's sunshine, sincerity, and cheerfulness, Senior Brother Jiang's temperament is a bit more sinister, more scheming, and more talkative when needed.
Duan Hujiang could say that Duan Hujun was not incompetent. He immediately used these words to sigh slightly: "Junior brother Jiang is right, we also envy senior brothers Jianqiang and Jianyang, who can practice without any distractions.
.It’s just that few of our Jade Dragon juniors have broken through to the fourth level so far. It’s not because they don’t practice hard, nor because they have dull qualifications, but because they have to take care of too many things.”
"Not only do I have to take on multiple responsibilities, but also all the senior brothers and sisters have to take care of the management of our Duan family's properties and also practice medical skills. It is inevitable that our energy will be scattered, and our progress will be slow, which is also due to circumstances.
It's excusable, but I don't want to be too harsh. After all, our Yulong Duan family has been able to establish a foothold in Lijiang for hundreds of years, not only because of our internal strength, but also because of our medical skills in treating diseases and saving people."
Even if he had some quarrel with Duan Hucheng in the past, it was within the Yulong Duan clan. Now that the Duan clan in Dali is so aggressive, he naturally has to put the overall situation first.
Even if the descendants of the Duan family in Dali were arrogant, they had no choice but to accept the offer of treating illnesses and saving lives.
Duan Hucheng did not speak at this time, but nodded slightly to show support.
Duan Haiming's eyes soon became more smiling.
After all, Duan Hujun is the eldest great-grandson who has been carefully cultivated by the Presbyterian Church. His adaptability is pretty good and he has a certain sense of responsibility. He does not completely let Duan Hujiang charge ahead. His speech is also relatively tactful, neither highlighting himself too much nor
Disparaging all the junior fellow students, as a candidate for power, one should have such magnanimity and a view of the overall situation.
It is actually best for Duan Hucheng not to speak at this moment. Don't make the limelight when you don't deserve it.
However, it is not easy for Duan Jianqiang and other disciples of the Dali Duan clan to be chosen to attend the initiation ceremony of the new disciples of the Yulong Duan clan.
Duan Jianqiang turned his eyes and smiled hypocritically: "Junior Brother Jun did not refute Junior Brother Jiang's words. It seems that, like Junior Brother Jiang, he is very confident in Junior Brother Cheng's speed of breaking through the fifth level in a short period of time?"
He also deliberately emphasized the words "short term" and "fifth level" very strongly.
Duan Hujun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Duan Jianqiang's fake smile, he suddenly had a bad feeling and subconsciously looked at Duan Hucheng.
Duan Hucheng felt Duan Huchun's worried eyes, but smiled confidently.
If it were before, he would naturally not be sure. However, after drinking "Jade Skin" the night before yesterday, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his previous internal injuries had healed overnight, and then he felt the powerful world when Grandpa Zeng broke through his innateness.
With such momentum, he had a new understanding. It would only take one to two years to break through the fifth level!
With Duan Hucheng's clear instructions, Duan Hucheng suddenly felt at ease. He nodded and calmly faced the ill-intentioned Duan Jianqiang: "That's natural!"
"Very good!" Duan Jianqiang praised hypocritically, and then looked back in memory: "I heard that my ancestor in Dali once praised the qualifications of Junior Brother Cheng and Junior Brother Kui in practicing martial arts when attending Junior Brother Cheng's full-moon banquet.
The above are comparable, and Junior Brother Kui and Junior Brother Cheng were born in the same year, and are now in the early stage of the fifth level. The ancestor even concluded that Junior Brother Kui will enter the middle stage of the fifth level in less than a year. So, now Hai Ming
Since Master Zeng has completely recovered from his chronic illness and has successfully broken through the innate realm, I would like to ask Junior Brother Cheng, how long will it take for you to break through the fifth level? Is it one year, two years, or more?"
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Duan Haiming and others sitting in the first row, or Duan Hujiang and others sitting with them in the second row, their faces immediately changed.
No one expected that Duan Jianqiang would raise this question at this moment.
When did Duan Huqiang think he could break through to the fifth level?
No warrior dares to determine with absolute certainty when he will break through to the next level.
Breakthrough requires not only enough accumulation, but also enough state of mind.
What's more, the previous highest record, even for the Duan clan in Dali, was that it would take a year to break through from the peak of the fourth level to the early stage of the fifth level, even if the medicinal materials were supplied in time and the training time was sufficient.
Therefore, Duan Jianqiang’s question is indeed a bit heartbreaking.
At this moment, if Duan Hucheng's answer is too short, if there is no breakthrough by then, it will become a laughing stock. Duan of Dali will have more reason to say that he is arrogant and does not know his own abilities.
But if you say the time is too long, it will appear to be weak.
Duan Hujiang clenched his fists with regret, secretly regretting that he should not have allowed himself to be angry and left a loophole for the other party to use to force his beloved eldest brother.
Duan Hujun narrowed his eyes slightly, the anger in his eyes flashed away, secretly hating that Duan Jianqiang was so shameless that he dared to ask such a question.
Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, ready to watch the show.
Duan Haiming and Duan Jianzhong's pupils shrank sharply at the same time.
Duan Hucheng had just broken through to the peak of the fourth level, how could he break through again so quickly?
This was clearly Duan Jianqiang's deliberate attempt to create a difficult situation and deliberately embarrass the Yulong Duan clan's disciples!
