Chapter 223: Bitterness

Xue Ling sat on his own time and heard King Jiangling announce the list of final exams.

Uncle entered the final test, which was expected by her, that is, just like in the previous life, the final duel between the witch lord was still her and her uncle.

Reading her name, she stood up and looked at her uncle, who she had expected to be her opponent in the final competition.

Xue Ling smiled at his uncle.

turned his head sideways, and still saw Zeng Yi at a glance.

It's a little far away, and I can't see my face clearly.

The only thing that floated in her ears was the exceptionally clear words, "I'm sorry, I'm late after all." ”

The voice was hoarse and bitter, full of despair and remorse, so that after listening to it once, one could not bear to listen to it a second time.

It echoed in her ears over and over again.

Xue Ling pursed her lips and looked away from it.

My heart was already a little confused.

The list of those who entered the final test had already been passed out, and many people were not surprised by Jiang Mingxu's victory, but Xue Ling's breakthrough into the final test made many people unexpected, because there were almost no bets on Xue Ling to win, so most of the people in the gambling house lost money.

"How could Old Man Qiu lose to the girl of the Xue family, just a little girl, how capable can she be, I didn't mean to admit defeat!"

"How is that possible? If you were replaced, would you deliberately admit defeat? ”

"Naturally not."

There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, even if they are relatives, there is no reason to give them up.

The conversation stopped abruptly.

"Three days later, it's the nephew and uncle who will win, who do you think will win?"

This time, no one dared to pat their chests and say that the head of the Jiang family would win.

"I didn't expect that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and this is not true at all. The girl of the Xue family is inconspicuous, and she doesn't know how she won? I'm afraid that the Xue family's witchcraft is better. ”

However, it was soon said that "the final test in three days will be open and honest, and it is said that the will of the people will be respected, and it will not be known when the time comes." ”

The talk is in full swing below.

And King Jiangling raised his hand, looked at Xue Ling, and smiled very pleased, "I didn't expect Ah Ling to win, even so, the head of the Xue family and the head of the Jiang family entered the final test, and three days later, the new witch master was decided." This final test is different from the past, not only by virtue of strength and ability, but also by conforming to the will of the people. The two heads of the family went back to have a good rest, and after three days, the winner was decided. ”

Xue Ling got up, walked in front of Jiang Mingxu, and called, uncle.

Jiang Mingxu smiled with relief, it was a real joy, "Ah Ling, you really didn't disappoint me, nor did you live up to your father's expectations, but also won glory for the Xue family, three days later, take out your skills, uncle is very happy." ”

Xue Ling said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Jiang Mingxu patted her on the shoulder, "You did a good job today, go ahead, your mother and your grandmother are waiting for you." ”

Xue Ling turned around and saw her mother and grandmother at a glance.

The mother's eyes were full of smiles, and when she looked closely, she had a little tears, "Ah Ling, you did it," she said with a smile, "What I can't do, my daughter has done it, and Ah Niang is proud of you." ”

Mrs. Xue said, "Ah Ling, today is good, do your best in the competition in three days, don't care too much about the victory, you are still young, the road will be wider and wider in the future, just a competition, it doesn't mean anything." ”

Old lady Qiu did not have the distress and discouragement of losing half a point, but she was old, and after a competition, she was a little tired.

At this time, he walked over with a cane, "My sister is eccentric, and she only has a little granddaughter, where do you remember my younger brother." ”

As the head of the family, Old Lady Qiu would only use such a tone when facing Old Lady Xue.

Mrs. Xue Ling said, "Sit down, how can you go back the more you live, and compete for favor like a child." ”

Old lady Qiu smiled heartily, "Ah Ling is not an ordinary child, this girl is better than me." ”

Mrs. Xue said, "A banquet has been set up at home, which can be regarded as a celebration for Ah Ling." ”

Xue Ling shook his head, "Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat, this is just the beginning, the celebration banquet is just enough, we can get together as a family." ”

Jiang Yue was on the side, very much agreed, "That's fine, just listen to Ah Ling and prepare a family banquet." ”

Xue Ling looked at Old Lady Qiu, and said to her grandmother and mother, "I still have some things to ask my uncle and grandfather, I don't know when my uncle and grandfather will have time?" ”

Old Lady Qiu sat for a while, regained some strength, and said, "I have time now, I don't know what Ah Ling wants?" ”

Xue Ling lowered her head and thought, "A-Niang and grandmother should go back first." ”

She went up to help Mrs. Qiu up, "Uncle and grandfather, if your uncle and grandfather feel tired after the competition, I will ask my uncle and grandfather the same next time." ”

Old lady Qiu stopped and laughed, very pleasant, "Old man is stronger, although I am an old bone, I can still hold it, not to mention, Ah Ling has just shown mercy to his subordinates, I know it in my heart." Let's go,"

Out of the witch doctor building, Old Lady Qiu said, "There is a teahouse opposite, how about Ah Ling go with me for a drink?" If you don't have anything important and rarely speak, just talk to me and see if I can help you out. ”

Xue Ling was very grateful, "Thank you, uncle, grandfather, please." ”

The Qiu family ranks third in the family of witch doctors, for this competition, Mrs. Qiu did not report the intention of winning, moreover, at this age, Mrs. Qiu also saw it, if you win, you will win frankly, if you lose, you will lose convincingly.

Originally, Xue Ling was selected by lottery, but he had always felt guilty because of the Qiu family's interference in the selection of the head of the Xue family, and he had already had a heart to give in, but Xue Ling offered to give up the pendant, which surprised him very much.

Therefore, when the competition was competing, he did his best, the phantom incense devoured his mind, and the non-Qiu family head couldn't solve it, Xue Ling was the first person to break the incense, and the speed and strength of Xue Ling's counterattack made him lose convinced.

Refreshments were placed on the table, and Mrs. Qiu was old, but she preferred bitter tea.

Xue Ling drank with him and took a sip gently, feeling the bitterness lingering between his lips and teeth.

She also liked the bitter taste.

Bitterness can make people sober, and after the bitterness fades away, there will be an aftertaste of sweetness.

Just like after the suffering of life, there is always hope.

"The girls in the family like milk tea, but I didn't expect Ah Ling to drink a cup of bitter tea with me." Old Lady Xue sighed with emotion, "You, you really don't look like a little girl of this age, your eyes are as clear as water, but you always give people a feeling of going through the world." ”

Xue Ling put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Bitterness is also a kind of life, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, you always have to experience it." So it's better to be calm. ”
