Chapter 31: Xiao Yuanyuan
After the heroic girl won, the disciples in the courtyard outside the Xiao family below, especially those male brothers, whistled wildly one by one, but the result was a roll of the girl's eyes.
This girl Lao Tan also knows, like Xiao Ao, she is a popular figure in the outer courtyard, but unlike Xiao Ao, Xiao Ao is famous for his rampant and domineering, and people rely on strength.
The girl's name is Xiao Yuanyuan, she is only 15 years old this year, but her cultivation has a third-level qi refining, and her qualifications are rare among the children of the outer courtyard, and it is not impossible to enter the inner courtyard in time.
After Xiao Yuanyuan won, Xiaobi continued, like today's Shanmen Xiaobi, after learning that he could get a precious Imperial Sword Sect recommendation quota, the number of participants reached an unprecedented number.
Although the four corners of the ring were held at the same time, due to the large number of people, it was necessary to go through multiple knockout matches to select the final four.
At this time, the people of the four major families, accompanied by Xiao Hao, the head of the Xiao family, were judging the children of the Xiao family who were competing in the ring.
"Master Xiao, your outer courtyard disciples don't seem to be very strong, as a monk, they don't even use magic weapons?" The head of the Nangong family couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the two people facing each other in the Nanjiao ring were fighting with mortal weapons.
Hearing this, Xiao Hao frowned, most of the children in the outer courtyard were lowly and numerous, and their Xiao family did not have the financial resources to issue a magic weapon to each of them, but this situation should be the same in the other four major families, this Nangong family master deliberately said this kind of thing, it was obviously a thorn.
Knowing that the head of the Nangong family wanted to see himself make a fool of himself, Xiao Hao still held back his anger and patiently explained: "The master of the Nangong family smiled, the disciples of the outer courtyard who participated in this year's Xiaobi are generally below the third level of qi refining, and their ability is not enough to drive magic weapons, so they can only use some mortal iron in the process of Xiaobi. ”
The head of the Nangong family obviously didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he disdained Xiao Hao's explanation, and still teased: "The head of the Xiao family is joking, right?" The cultivation of these little ghosts is only three levels of qi refining? With such conditions, it may be difficult to meet the requirements of the Emperor Extreme Sword Sect to recruit people, so the head of the Xiao family is not afraid of wasting that precious recommendation place? ”
Not only the head of the Nangong family, but even the head of the Mo family at this time also quipped: "If this is really the case? Isn't the head of the Xiao family empty of people and money? ”
The two of them were very sarcastic, Xiao Hao was even more angry in his heart, and then looked at Chu Tiancheng, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth and not saying a word, he was even more unhappy in his heart.
Anyone can laugh at him, but Chu Tiancheng can't, Xiao Hao and the head of the Chu family were enemies of each other because of something when he was young, and they have been secretly competing with each other for many years. In order to surpass Chu Tiancheng and the Chu family, Xiao Hao has spent countless energy cultivating his children over the years.
Fortunately, the second daughter, Xiao Qingyan, lived up to her expectations, not only was she favored by the Imperial Sword Sect's Jian Xin Zhenren as a closed disciple, but also built a Dao foundation in just ten years, adding a lot of aura to their Xiao family.
Every time he thought of this, Xiao Hao couldn't help but feel confident again, and immediately laughed at the words of the two heads of the Nangong family and the Mo family, and said in his heart, you can laugh, when our Xiao family monarchs the entire Chiyun City, they won't be able to laugh.
The four of them walked around the venue and soon came to the ring in the east, during which the two heads of the Nangong family and the Mo family still commented on the children of the Xiao family who competed in the ring, and all kinds of ugly words emerged one after another.
Although Xiao Hao had been pretending not to hear, these words were sometimes too harsh, and his face gradually became not very good-looking.
Only Chu Tiancheng, the head of the Chu family, just smiled and didn't speak the whole time, and his appearance was light and breezy to make people look unfathomable.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of shouting in the east ring surrounded by layers of crowds, and then a child of the Xiao family who participated in the small competition flew out, and coincidentally fell heavily in front of several family owners.
A group of Xiao family disciples who were in charge of logistics ran over to help the injured person up, and with it, there was also a disciple of the inner courtyard who was responsible for the referee's work, and when he came down, he saw his own family master, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Xiao Hao: "I have seen the family master." ”
The rest of the people also saluted, and Xiao Hao waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The injured Xiao family disciple had already been carried down, but just now Xiao Hao glanced at it and saw that his skin was covered with a layer of frost, and his whole body was shivering from the cold, and he knew at a glance that he had been knocked down by a spell or magic weapon.
"Report to the master, this person lost in the competition, and we will treat him immediately." The underwear kid who acted as the referee said truthfully.
"Oh?" Xiao Hao nodded, and then his eyes fell on the ring, only to see that the winning party in the competition was still standing there, holding a blue gourd in his hand.
This son was tall and handsome, Xiao Hao had a good impression of him at a glance, so he secretly observed this son's cultivation, and the result surprised him.
"There are actually juniors with this kind of cultivation in the outer courtyard?" Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then asked the referee, "What is the name of this son?" ”
"His name is Zhao Han." The referee hurriedly replied.
"Zhao Han? Not surnamed Xiao? When Xiao Hao heard this answer, a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, but he soon felt that it didn't matter.
Although this Shanmen Xiaobi is open to the outer courtyard, it is not limited to the children of the Xiao family to participate, although this Zhao Han is a person with a foreign surname, but in the final analysis, he is still a member of their Xiao family, and with his cultivation, it is more than enough to win this Shanmen Xiaobi.
Xiao Hao was overjoyed when he thought of this, and then secretly glanced at the two heads of the Nangong family and the Mo family with the rest of his eyes, and when he saw that they didn't dare to judge Zhao Han, the smile on his face was even stronger.
"Qi refining seventh layer, congratulations to the Xiao family master, it seems that the younger generation of the Xiao family is really talented, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Suddenly remembering the voice of Chu Tiancheng, the head of the Chu family, Xiao Hao looked back, and saw the other party looking at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but reply: "The head of the Chu family smiled, just cultivating is not enough, and the juniors of our Xiao family still need to exercise a lot to become successful." ”
Although Xiao Hao's words were polite, when facing Chu Tiancheng, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, after all, it was extremely difficult for a seventh-layer qi refining to appear among the younger generation, and Zhao Han's timely appearance at least allowed him to earn back some face in front of Chu Tiancheng.
Others don't know that at this moment, in Xiao Hao's mind, Zhao Han has become the most powerful candidate for the championship of this Shanmen Xiaobi.
……
On the other hand.
On the west side of the venue, Lao Tan stepped into the ring for the second time, and his opponents were still those disciples of the Xiao family's outer courtyard, and his cultivation was the same as Xiao Bei before, and he was the third layer of qi refining.
Although the opponent finally used a fire bullet talisman as a means of attack, Lao Tan still took the initiative, and easily defeated the opponent on the premise of hiding his strength by virtue of his cultivation advantage.
The Shanmen competition is in full swing, time has passed an hour in the blink of an eye, after several rounds of competition, the four rings are almost to the last game, as long as this one is played, the list of the final four will be released.
Lao Tan passed all the way in the ring in the west, successfully defeated all his opponents, and finally faced the heroic girl - Xiao Yuanyuan.
