"What's wrong? Xi'er, that fish is going to be pierced by you. Princess Linda smiled and looked at her sullen daughter sitting on the opposite side of the dining table.

Since her daughter showed such talent, even Princess Linda's own status has been improved, and now Princess Linda's life is extremely comfortable.

"Did you encounter any problems in your cultivation?" Princess Linda asked in a low voice of reassurance.

Shee Austin shook his head slightly,

"There's just one guy...... No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to surpass her......" Ciel said with a sullen bow.

"An invincible opponent?" Princess Linda smiled, "That's not a bad thing, no matter what you do, it's a good thing to have competitors, competition can promote people's progress." ”

The first thing that came to Princess Linda's mind was the other princesses and princesses, because the daughters who had never left the palace had the most contact with the peers who were the other princes and princesses, and the eldest prince of those princes and princesses was sixteen years old, and most of them were older than Xi'er, so although Xi'er was talented, there were still many people who were higher than her.

"Besides, Xi'er is still young, and the cultivation time is still short, I believe that Xi'er will slowly catch up with them in the future." Princess Linda laughed.

"But...... I hate the feeling of being inferior to others. Ciel pursed her lips and continued to poke the fish on the plate that had been broken in two. Is there no way for me to defeat her? ”

"The way to beat your opponent? Yes. Princess Linda laughed.

"Really?" Ciel's eyes lit up, and the chopsticks finally left the poor fish.

"Your great-great-great-great-grandfather, His Majesty the great Austin I, once said, 'Know yourself and know your opponent in a hundred battles' If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand your opponent."

"No one is perfect, everyone will have flaws, there will be things that they are not good at, simply put, it is to find each other's weaknesses......"

"But...... It's not a life-and-death duel, but usually, you still have to play in a dignified way to make progress. Princess Linda guided her young daughter step by step, but unfortunately the daughter in front of her just looked down at the fish in two pieces on the plate in front of her with shining eyes.

"Not good at something? …… Weakness? Ciel muttered to herself.

And then......

"Xiaoxi, who is that?" Student A pointed to the distance and leaked half of his face and secretly looked at Xi'er here.

"Oh, that's my sister, she's just scared of life." Tong Xi smiled warmly.

……

Xi'er followed behind Tong Xi and secretly observed for a long time.

Finally, one day.

It was on the physical fitness test for the promotion of the second grade to the third grade.

"Whew...... Call...... Hu ...... "Although Tong Xi is running, the speed is not much different from walking.

The waist-length hair behind him was tied into a long ponytail and hung down behind him, the bangs on his forehead were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, and his fair cheeks also had a very obvious blush.

With Tong Xi's low body temperature and not like to sweat, the white short-sleeved shirt was half wet with sweat at this time, and the clothes were stuck to the back and even slightly revealed a little light yellow vest inside......

"Come on! Xiaoxi! And half a lap! Holding her hand and walking in front, Wayne, who was half-pulling her, turned her head and encouraged.

In fact, this kind of physical fitness test is not allowed to be pulled, but it depends on whom! This princess Tong Xi came to take the exam, which was already very face-saving.

For Wayne on the side, of course, the invigilator turned a blind eye, originally Tong Xi reached the end far beyond the limit time, and should have scored zero points, but the invigilator still gave five points of "friendship points", and wrote in the comment "Although the physical fitness is poor, the spirit is commendable"......

Well...... There is no such thing as fairness in this world.

Don't look at the other party's holy step father, just that girl will greet the invigilator with a warm smile every morning when she foresees the invigilator, and he is comfortable with the soft "good teacher" call......

Tong Xi, who finally "walked" to the finish line, fell directly into Wayne's arms as soon as his legs became weak.

Xi'er, who was "secretly observing" from a distance, lit up his eyes.

That's it!

……

"Humph! Worthy of my Sheh Austin's admitted, this time, even if you win! Xi'er clasped her hands on her chest and looked down at the smiling Tong Xi in front of her.

"But...... I! Sheh Austin is up to you! Xi'er's right hand pointed directly at Tong Xi in front of him.

"Physical fitness test after three days! Let's fight it out! ”

"The one who loses, call the one who wins, sister!" Ciel said loudly.

"Huh? But Ci'er was originally my sister. Tong Xi's little head tilted slightly.

"Who's your sister! Look at this! I'm obviously bigger than you, okay! Xi'er gestured with her right hand on her chest, and the top of Tong Xi's head was just a head shorter than the other party......

"Besides! You were just born a few days before me! ”

"Xi'er is really persistent about calling this sister......" Tong Xi said with a smile.

"But...... When we were four years old, you said you were going to recite magic spells against me, and you had to designate a fire-based ...... I won, you didn't fulfill your promise to call me sister. ”

"When I was five years old, you said that you wanted to compete with me to see who caught more butterflies in a minute, but I didn't expect those butterflies to fly on me by themselves, and you lost again, so you still don't need to call me sister." Tong Xi crossed his fingers and looked down to count.

"That's because you actually concealed your identity as an elf! Who doesn't know that the elves have a high affinity with non-hierarchical small animals! Ciel interjected dissatisfied.

Tong Xi continued to count, "When I was six years old, that is, when I first entered school, you said that you wanted to compete with me for general course results, and you lost again, or did you not fulfill your promise to call the winning sister...... Tong Xi smiled.

"Hello...... Long-winded! You just say! Than not! Xi'er's face was hot, as if to hide her embarrassment, and her volume unconsciously increased a few degrees.

"Not comparable." Tong Xi shook his head very dryly.

"What! You avoided a fight! What about your glory as a member of the Austin family? Ciel exclaimed.

"But...... I'm not good at that, besides, as a member of the Austin family, you actually pick something that the other party is not good at to challenge, have you forgotten the glory of the family? Tong Xi asked rhetorically.

"Besides, every time you say what you want to compare, and you lose and don't admit it, it's time for me to decide what to compare, right?" Tong Xi guided step by step.

"Good...... All right! Xi'er thought about the other party's words for a moment, and felt that there seemed to be a little bit of truth......

"Say it! Be the eighth princess of the Austin Empire! I'm not going to shy away from war like somebody! Ciel crossed her hands on her hips and straightened her flat chest.

"Next time, in a month's general course quiz, we'll compare who gets the highest score." Tong Xi smiled.

"General course grades? Damn it...... Sure enough, it's something you're good at......"

"How could the people of the Austin family avoid war because of difficulties?" Tong Xi seemed to be talking to himself.

"Humph! How could someone from the Austin family avoid a war because of the difficulties? I accept your challenge! You wait for me! Wait to call my sister! Xi'er swiped her right hand sharply, pointed at Tong Xi's nose and finished speaking, then turned around and returned to her seat.

Wayne looked at the back of Ciel sitting back in her seat,

"Did she forget that when she was seven years old, the year before, she also told you about physical fitness, and then you changed the competition to a general course with the same words? Who doesn't know that you get a perfect score every time you have a general course......"

Tong Xi looked at Xi'er's back and smiled warmly.

"How cute a sister like this is......"
