Chapter 683

Ill-intentioned provocations

"Forget it, Senior Brother Jianqiang, you don't have to embarrass Senior Brother Jun!" Duan Jianyang, whose eyes were slightly gloomy, understood what Duan Jianqiang meant as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Senior Brother Jun has just broken through the fourth layer, and even his breath is unstable, so how can he supervise the other junior disciples?"

Duan Jianyang deliberately bit the words "unstable breath" very hard, secretly paying attention to Duan Hujun's face, and seeing that a trace of shame quickly appeared on the latter's face, he felt very happy in his heart

What about the eldest grandson of the patriarch of the Jade Dragon Duan clan? It's not as good as their ordinary descendants of the Dali Duan clan!

Duan Jianqiang raised his eyebrows, very "justifiable": "I naturally know this!" But even if Senior Brother Jun has just broken through and lacks comprehension, Senior Brother Cheng has been entering the fourth layer for several years, so he should always have this qualification, right? Is it possible," his narrow eyes deliberately glanced at Duan Hucheng beside him: "Is it difficult, Senior Brother Cheng, you don't want to?" ”

Only then did he say the three words "unwilling", and before Duan Hucheng and Duan Hujun could react, he immediately shook his head: "No!" Senior Brother County, this can't be done! In the future, you have to take over the class of your uncle and ancestor, sometimes, you have to establish your own prestige, no matter how strong the senior brother is, you have to obey the rules of the clan! ”

As soon as the words of this lesson came out, whether it was Duan Hucheng or Duan Hujun, the smile on his face stagnated slightly.

Although he knew that this Duan Jianqiang had bad intentions, he was still a little uncomfortable in the heart of Duan Hujun, who had a slightly lower cultivation.

Finding that the faces of the two of them changed again, a trace of pride flashed in Duan Jianyang's eyes.

Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong, who were sitting in the front row, listened to their ears, and their eyes showed a little satisfaction at the same time.

Duan Haiming's brows furrowed slightly, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, but because of his identity, it was difficult to speak. After all, this is a few juniors talking about.

Duan Jianzhong's smile remained unchanged, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Duan Hujiang, who was sitting in the back row, didn't want his brother and cousin to be provoked by the two villains and hurt their feelings, he scolded secretly in his heart, his mind turned quickly, and he soon had a way to deal with it, and replied very respectfully: "Senior Brother Jianqiang, Senior Brother Jianyang, you are far away in Dali, you usually focus on practicing, and it is normal that you don't know some things!" ”

Set this tone first, and then Duan Hujiang said unhurriedly: "The ancestor has already had a strict training, 'Filial piety comes first!'" "We, the children of the Duan family, martial arts cultivation is important, and we can't leave it behind in terms of medical skills, and we must always think of sharing worries for our elders. ”

"Because my brother was injured internally in his early years, and he was worried about his great-grandfather's chronic illness, all his thoughts were focused on studying medical science and cooperating with several great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and uncles to test medicines, otherwise, he would not have been hovering at the peak of the fourth layer until now, and he would have broken through to the early stage of the fifth layer."

"As for Senior Brother County, he has a heavy responsibility, and he has to take care of the affairs of the clan, and he has to restrain other junior brothers and sisters on his behalf, so his energy is limited, and it is inevitable that he will not take care of it completely."

At this point, Duan Hujiang deliberately sighed softly: "Speaking of which, I still envy Senior Brother Jianqiang and Senior Brother Jianyang, you don't need to go out, you can enjoy the family's resources without leaving home, which is like us, in order to grow, we always have to go to the rivers and lakes to experience and experience, and if we are not careful, we will be injured ......." ”

On the surface, this is to envy the abundant resources of the Duan family in Dali, but in fact, it is to imply that Duan Jianqiang and Duan Jianyang and others are flowers in the greenhouse, and they are cultivated, but they do not have enough experience, and they only dare to be arrogant in front of their own brothers, and do not dare to be arrogant in front of outsiders.

When he mentioned Duan Haiming's injury, it was also a satire that Dali Duan's temperament was too small, knowing that Duan Haiming was seriously injured, but he refused to provide enough medicinal materials to treat Duan Haiming in time, so that he would leave such a difficult old illness and hinder Duan Haiming's cultivation and refinement.

And the part that defended his eldest brother was even more used to ridicule Duan Jianqiang and Duan Jianyang's martial arts qualifications for not being as good as their eldest brother's own eldest brother on the grounds that the eldest brother was injured.

Originally, Duan Hucheng was the youngest, and if he suffered internal injuries, he could raise his cultivation to the peak of the fourth layer, and Duan Jianqiang and Duan Jianyang had the rich medicinal resources of the Duan clan in Dali, and they were still normal people, and they were a few years older than Duan Hucheng, but they only cultivated to the peak of the fourth layer, so what was there to show off?

Duan Jianqiang, Duan Jianyang and other Dali Duan disciples were not stupid, and immediately heard the meaning of Duan Hujiang's words, and suddenly a little annoyance appeared between their eyebrows.

But they couldn't rebuke anything clearly, after all, Duan Hujiang was very smart, and he used an envious tone, not accusation or ridicule.

Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong's faces quickly became a little more gloomy.

On the other hand, Duan Haiming and Duan Jianzhong were very happy, and they also appreciated Duan Hujiang with a flexible mind.

This kind of thing, whether it is Duan Hucheng or Duan Hujun, is not suitable to say, otherwise it will be suspected of boasting and shirking responsibility, and Duan Hujiang, who is a junior brother, stands up at this moment, which is very wonderful.

Luo Han clearly put Duan Hujiang's pretentious envy in his ears, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Sure enough, compared to Senior Brother Cheng's sunshine, sincerity, and heartiness, Senior Brother Jiang's temperament is a little more cloudy, and he has more scheming, and when he needs it, he is also more powerful.

Duan Hujiang can say that Duan Hujun is not incompetent, and immediately sighed slightly with this meaning: "Senior Brother Jiang is right, we are also very envious of Senior Brother Jianqiang and Senior Brother Jianyang, who can practice without distractions. It's just that among our Jade Dragon juniors, few of us have broken through the fourth layer so far, not because they don't usually practice well, nor because their qualifications are dull, but because they have too much to take into account. ”

"It's not just me who has a lot of responsibilities, it's all the senior brothers and brothers, I usually have to take care of our Duan's industry, and I also have to study medical skills, and it is inevitable that my energy will be scattered and my entry will be slow, which is also understandable, but I don't want to be too harsh, after all, our Yulong Duan family has been able to gain a foothold in Lijiang for hundreds of years, relying not only on internal cultivation, but also on medical skills to treat diseases and save people."

Even if he had some knots with Duan Hucheng before, it was within the Jade Dragon Duan Clan, and now that the Dali Duan Clan was so aggressive, he naturally had to focus on the overall situation.

Raising the big hat of curing diseases and saving people, even if it is the son of the Duan family in Dali, no matter how arrogant he is, he has to accept it.

Duan Hucheng didn't speak at this time, just nodded slightly to show support.

Duan Haiming's eyes soon became more smiling.

After all, Duan Hujun is the great-grandson of the elder who has been carefully cultivated by the Council of Elders, and his adaptability is not bad, and he has a certain amount of responsibility, so he did not completely let Duan Hujiang charge ahead; He also spoke more tactfully, neither highlighting himself too much, nor belittling all the juniors and disciples, as a candidate for power, he should have such a magnanimity and overall view.

And Duan Hucheng didn't speak at the moment, in fact, it was the best. Don't be in the limelight if you shouldn't be in the limelight.

However, Duan Jianqiang, a group of disciples of the Dali Duan clan, was not so easy to send away if he was selected to attend the entrance ceremony of the new disciples of the Yulong Duan clan.

Duan Jianqiang's eyes turned, and he smiled fakely: "Senior Brother Jiang didn't refute Senior Brother Jiang's words, it seems that like Senior Brother Jiang, he is very confident in the speed of Senior Brother Cheng breaking through the fifth layer in the short term?" ”

He also deliberately bit the words "in the short term" and "fifth layer" very hard.

Duan Hujun's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a bad premonition about Duan Jianqiang's false smile, and subconsciously looked at Duan Hucheng.

Duan Hucheng felt Duan Hujun's worried gaze, but he smiled confidently.

If it was before, he was naturally not sure in his heart, but after drinking the "jade skin" the night before, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the previous internal injuries had healed overnight, and then he felt the powerful power of heaven and earth when his great-grandfather broke through the innate state, and he had a new understanding, this fifth layer to break through, it is only a matter of one to two years!

With Duan Hucheng's clear instructions, Duan Hujun's heart suddenly became steady, nodded, and calmly faced the ill-intentioned Duan Jianqiang: "That's nature!" ”

"Good!" Duan Jianqiang praised it smugly, and then looked at memories: "I heard that my ancestor of Dali, when attending the full moon wine of the senior brother of the city, once praised the senior brother of the city and the senior brother of Kui in terms of the qualifications of martial arts, and the senior brother of Kui and the senior brother of the city were born in the same year, and now it is the early stage of the fifth layer, and the ancestor even concluded that the senior brother of Kui will enter the middle of the fifth layer in less than a year, then, now that the great ancestor of Haiming has completely recovered from his illness and successfully broken through the innate realm, he dares to ask the senior brother of the city, How long will it take you to break through the fifth layer? Is it a year, or two years, or longer? ”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Duan Haiming and the others who were sitting in the first row, or Duan Hujiang and the others who were sitting in the second row, their faces immediately changed.

No one thought that Duan Jianqiang would actually raise this question at this moment.

When did Duan Huqiang think he would be able to break through to the fifth layer?

No martial artist dares to determine with absolute certainty the time when he will break through to the next realm.

Breakthrough requires not only sufficient accumulation, but also sufficient state of mind.

What's more, the highest record in the past, even if it was the Dali Duan Clan's side, breaking through from the peak of the fourth layer to the early stage of the fifth layer, even if the supply of medicinal materials was timely and the cultivation time was enough, it would really take a year.

Therefore, Duan Jianqiang's question is really a bit heart-wrenching.

And at this moment, if Duan Hucheng's answer is too short, if he doesn't break through by then, he will become a laughing stock, and Dali Duan has even more reason to say that he is arrogant and does not measure his own strength.

But if you talk about the time too long, it will inevitably appear weak.

Duan Hujiang clenched his fist very remorsefully, secretly hating that he shouldn't have acted for a moment, leaving a flaw for the other party, and using it to persecute his beloved eldest brother.

Duan Hujun narrowed his eyes slightly, the anger in his eyes flashed, secretly hating this Jianqiang was really shameless, and he dared to ask such a question.

Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of sarcasm, ready to watch a good 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 layer, how could he break through so quickly?

This is obviously Duan Jianqiang's deliberate setting of problems, deliberately embarrassing the children of the Yulong Duan clan!
