Chapter 712: The Wind Rises
After a whole day of competition, the elimination continued, and the competition was reduced from more than 300 members to more than 50 now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and after tonight, tomorrow will be the real quarterfinals and semi-finals. The day after tomorrow, it is the pinnacle of the showdown.
Who can compete with King Zhou Yan, is it Hua Xuan, who ranked second in the last session, or Ye Shusheng, who ranked third?
In fact, few people know that no matter who is the person who fights against King Zhou Yan in the end, King Zhou Yan will find one person to fight, and that is Xiao Dong.
This is also where Xiao Dong is very depressed, to say that he ran into King Zhou Yan or Ye Shusheng, it was nothing, but if he still had to fight with King Zhou Yan, it was really self-inflicted. The top three masters on the list of rivers and mountains, all of them have to take his turn, and it is strange that he is not depressed.
But if it were for someone else, it would be glorious. It is such a thing to be so valued by the top three masters on the list.
After Xiao Dong advanced to the competition, he felt bored, so he did not continue to stay at the venue. His interest is only in the final competition, and these small fights in the early stage, he really doesn't have that nature to watch, and it is better to sleep at home comfortably.
However, Xiao He and the others were not so calm, after all, they were all teenagers, for this unprecedented feast, they naturally didn't want to miss it, in addition to watching the lively accidents, they also followed Hua Xuan and Lao Huang around the old people. Not to mention, Xiao He's strength is not good, but there are really few people who can compare to him in terms of mouth skills.
In just a few days, he successfully fooled five or six masters and joined Hua Xuan's mysterious incident investigation department, which made Hua Xuan feel relieved.
At this time, on the eaves behind an ancient house, an old figure was standing on it with his waist bent, he stared at Xiao Dong who was leaving in the distance, and said to himself: "Little guy, count yourself lucky, if it weren't for the fact that the old body didn't want to reveal his whereabouts and gave birth to too many branches, he would have done you a long time ago." But it doesn't matter, at the end of the day, you're my ...... too. β
Xiao Dong, who was driving, sneezed twice in a row, and immediately scolded secretly, which thing that doesn't have long eyes, scolding Lao Tzu behind his back. He had a strange feeling that someone was watching him in some dark corner. But he couldn't detect what the specific situation was, he just had this intuition in his heart.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Xiao Dong shook his head, feeling that he was a little suspicious because he had met that strange old man.
Before going home, Xiao Dong went to the military region, although he took the initiative to step down and was no longer the commander-in-chief of the military region, but he was still very comfortable entering the military region. He found Erniu, called out the Tianyan, checked it, and there was no problem, so he went back to the Xiao family's compound.
Xiao Dong went to check Tianyan, naturally wanting to take a look at Ye Lanbing's situation.
After Ye Lanbing went back, he stayed at home, with no other whereabouts, but he couldn't see any tricks.
Xiao Dong really wanted to find out what Ye Lanbing was doing, but Ye Lanbing obviously didn't want to say it, and deliberately concealed Xiao Dong, so Xiao Dong didn't plan to expose it, but wanted to wait until he had enough things to figure out what was going on, and then go to Ye Lanbing.
After all, this matter is too weird, and when he comes into contact with that man with Ye Lanbing, people can't catch it. Maybe Ye Lanbing has some hardships, but it is not necessarily that when the time comes, it will be unfavorable.
It was with these factors in mind that Xiao Dong chose to wait and see, but for the sake of the child in his belly, Xiao Dong still asked Erniu to send several members of the ace army to guard the villa to avoid any accidents.
When they returned to the Xiao family's compound, except for Xiao He and the three of them, the rest of them all came back.
As soon as Xiao Zhentian saw him, he breathed out of his nostrils, snorted, and was too lazy to speak.
"Dongzi is back, it's been hard for the past two days, sit down and eat. Xu Qingle beckoned to Xiao Dong, she has always doted on Xiao Dong, so she naturally felt sorry for him.
Xiao Long also opened his mouth and said: "Dongzi has performed very well in the past two days, if nothing happens, he should be able to fight to the end, and compete with King Zhou Yan or Hua Shenyi, do you have the confidence to win the top position?"
"Uncle, if you want to say that the third and second I still have some hope, the top of the list will be exempted. Xiao Dong said with a smile, "King Zhou Yan is a member of the three major sects, where do I have the strength to deal with it?"
"It's also said, in short, no matter what, it is also quite a high honor for you to have the top two and top three rankings. Xiao Long exclaimed.
"Hmph, no matter what, everyone only recognizes the first, who will know what the second and third, useless is useless, what are you doing with so many excuses?" Xiao Zhentian seemed to be holding his stomach, deliberately looking for Xiao Dong's stubble, and scolded angrily.
Xiao Dong is also unhappy, he is divorced, he is already depressed enough, do you even have to go out and don't go home at night?
So he pursed his lips and choked up: "I'm useless, grandpa, why didn't you make the list in the first place?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Zhentian didn't come to the same place, patted the table and scolded, "You tell me again?!"
"Old man, you can dissipate your anger, Dongzi has not felt well recently, don't keep targeting him. Xu Qing stood up and comforted.
"Yes, I believe that Dongzi knows what to do and knows how to measure. Divorced, he didn't feel good. Xiao Long followed and comforted.
"Feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Zhentian glared at him and said, "If you don't feel good, you won't be able to go home at night, and when you participate in the competition, you will go outside to be merry and happy? If you let the people of the Lan family know, what will you think of my Xiao family?
"Face and face, you care about face, when, can you think about your own family!" Xiao Dong was irritable for a while, and he also became angry, "I'm going out to be happy, so what's the matter? I'm single, I'm single, don't I even have this bit of freedom? I'm divorced from Xiying, and I have nothing to do with the Lan family." What am I going to do? Do I have to get their approval? What's more, people have their own business, and they will stare at you 24 hours a day? Isn't it too serious about yourself?"
"Dongzi, shut up!" Xiao Long scolded, "How do you talk to grandpa?!"
"I ...... Ah!" Xiao Dong was actually quick to talk for a while, and he didn't mean to ridicule or target Xiao Zhentian, but the words had already been spoken, and as soon as he wanted to apologize and explain, a Buddha lotus smashed his head and face, and directly let him fly out of the hall.
The person who made the shot was naturally Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei said: "Grandpa, this kid is too disrespectful, I'll teach him a good lesson." β
"Hey, forget it, it's me who can't teach, or maybe it's me who has a problem. Xiao Zhentian sighed and said.
"Grandpa, for so many years, you have always been alone in carrying all the things of the Xiao family, so you habitually spread everything on yourself. But there is one thing you may forget, that is, me, Dongzi and Xiao He, we are no longer children, we are all grown up, we can share the responsibility for the family, and even become the pillar, your current age, is the time to take care of your life and enjoy the joy of family, many things, we have our own judgment and will, move forward and mix, and there will be no good results. Xiao Mei opened her mouth and said, "Grandpa, my granddaughter is a little rushed, don't worry about it." β
Xiao Zhentian took a deep breath and said: "Actually, I also have a problem, it's not good to say, this family was brought up by me, and I am used to being arbitrary, and now the burden of the family is in your hands, I am really a little uncomfortable, I am wrong." Go and see Dongzi, he's been irritable enough lately, and being turned back has made him angry. β
"How dare he?" Xiao Mei said disapprerovingly.
In the dead of night, on the plane tree in the Xiao family's compound, a figure was lying on the branch extension.
Xiao Dong pillowed his head in one hand and a cigarette in the other, lazily looking at the scenery on the horizon.
A slight breeze hit his ears, making Xiao Dong subconsciously raise his eyelids. The next moment, another shadow sat in front of the same branch as him, shaking his legs.
"Dongzi, you really don't have a lot of courage, even grandpa dares to scold?" Xiao Mei raised her willow eyebrows and asked.
"I knew you were going to come and scold me. Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said, "Didn't I say that it was fast, and I didn't stop the car all of a sudden." What, grandpa is still angry? It's a big deal that I'm going to apologize to him tomorrow. β
"Grandpa is not so stingy, you just need to pay attention to it yourself in the future, even if there is something wrong with grandpa, you shouldn't say that about the elders. Xiao Mei said.
"I understand, it's just a momentary irritation. Xiao Dong said.
Xiao Mei stretched out a Qianqian jade hand, gently stroked Xiao Dong's hair a few times, and said, "Sister, I didn't hurt you just now." β
"I'm not beaten with iron, can it not hurt?" Xiao Dong said angrily.
"Give you some color, have you also opened a dyeing workshop?" Xiao Mei was about to throw it over, but when she was close, the slap lightly stuck to Xiao Dong's cheek, half hugged him, leaned on the trunk behind him, and suddenly smiled bitterly, and said, "Our sister and brother are really hard-working people, they were all abandoned by others, what's the matter, are you thinking about the shadow again?"
"I didn't. Xiao Dong pursed his lips, simply pillowed his head on Xiao Mei's lap, and said, "I'm looking at the scenery in the distance." β
Xiao Mei took a breath lightly, looked into the distance, and said: "That is one of the most prosperous scenery in Kyoto, in our location, you can have a panoramic view, how many people spend their lives can't stand on this tree." This plane tree is hundreds of years old, right?"
"I heard it was. Xiao Dong said, anyway, I remember that when I was a child in this compound, there was this sycamore, and after so many years, there has been no change. β
"Time is fleeting, things are people, things are not changing, isn't it good?" Xiao Mei looked into the distance with a little confusion in her eyes, and said, "Think about our previous life, comfortable, beautiful, naΓ―ve, I don't know how long this kind of life can last......." β
When Xiao Dong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, raised his head and said, "Sister, I always think that you are talking strangely today, is there something going to happen?" Or are you leaving?"
"Fool, I said I would always protect you, how can I leave. Xiao Mei laughed, and then said, "It's just that I feel that the breath of Kyoto has been a little depressing and weird recently, and I don't know what caused it, which makes me feel a little irritable and uneasy in my heart, so I sighed two sentences." β
"It's not because of the Jiangshan List Competition, which has attracted countless masters to come, I also feel this atmosphere. Xiao Dong was stunned, and suddenly said, "No, with your strength, my sister, you have already exceeded the scope of a martial artist, how can you feel depressed? Could it be that in Kyoto, there are more powerful masters hidden?"
"That's where I wondered. Xiao Mei said, "I have the same feeling in the past few days, that is, when I pass through certain places, I will feel inexplicable heart palpitations, but when I chase after it and want to figure it out, there is nothing, which is really a bit incomprehensible." β
