Chapter Seventy-Six: Back to School (Fourth Watch)
In the Beijing area, a luxurious manor house with an extremely large area.
Lauris stood with an angry face, and on the couch opposite her was a middle-aged man who looked like her, and this middle-aged man was none other than the current patriarch of the Benson family, Brooke Benson, who was also Lauris's father.
Brooke lifted his forehead, looking very troubled, "Laurith, do you know that the mistake you made this time has seriously affected your brother's status in the clan?" Did you know that today there has been a proposal to disqualify your brother as the heir of the family, and this is the result you want? ”
Lauris's face changed drastically, "What does this have to do with my brother?" Why did they do that? ”
Brooke sighed, "Of course they can do this, they are the patriarchs of my Benson family, and even your father and I have agreed to sit in this position." ”
Lawris naturally knows all the rules of the family, but it is difficult to accept it for a while. She shook her head and said, "No, my brother is now the most outstanding genius in the family, and even if he is accepted as a disciple by that one, even for the sake of that one's face, they will never dare to do this." ”
"Of course they'll look at that one's face," Brooke said in an accentuated tone, a cold glint in his eyes, "or you think I'll be able to talk to you here?" ”
How can he say that he is also the patriarch, how can he easily let others disqualify his son? The reason why he was here was because it was only proposed by someone now, but he did not get the consent of the other clan elders.
But even this was enough for Lauris to understand the importance of this time.
Lauris said indignantly: "This time it was a coincidence, but they can't impose the blame on me, right?" She's just an underage child, and I've also investigated her family, except for her parents, she doesn't have any background at all, how could she ask such a powerful figure to help her? ”
"Whether it's her or not, we don't have the strength to attack her anymore." Brooke's tone was strongly warning, "Lawris, it has now been unanimously decided that you will not be able to use any of the clan's resources for the next three years from today, which means that from tomorrow, you must move out of the house. ”
"Father......" Lauris exclaimed, if she was not allowed to use any of the resources of the clan, how would she live? No, even survival is a problem.
"It's just a small punishment." Brooke stood up and left directly, Lauris has been used to it all these years, and it is time to suffer some hardships, but this hardship should not be eaten by others! That little girl is called Ji Xiao? He remembered.
……
On Monday, in the afternoon ancient martial arts class, Ji Xiao appeared at school as scheduled.
Of course, she had already returned home two days earlier, and then called Ye Zhanpeng, Yuan Mengjun, several friends and the research institute to report her safety. In the morning, I went to work at the research institute, and everyone was very happy to see Ji Xiao, especially Lu Zhi'an, who was sad for Ji Xiao a lot of gray hair during this time.
However, they could find that there had been some kind of change in Ji Xiao's body, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes, but they couldn't say what it was.
Ji Xiao is different, after this incident, Ji Xiao is no longer cowardly and inferior, not because she has more confidence or self-confidence, but because she is now thinking about how to strengthen herself and how to protect her family.
In the afternoon, when he came to the wide practice field, Mu Chiyi had already arrived here early, and when he saw Ji Xiao, the tension and worry in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and the lines on his face softened a lot. Ji Xiao showed an extremely bright smile at Mu Chiyi, ran forward in three or two steps, and shouted respectfully, "Teacher Mu." ”
"Hmm." The corners of Mu Chi's mouth hooked slightly, and he raised his chin at Ji Xiao, "Go, get ready for class." ”
This is the first time Mu Chiyi has shown a smiling face in class, Ji Xiao has seen a lot, but he doesn't feel anything, but it causes others to sigh for a while.
"Brush, brush!" A group of eyes that were either looking, jealous, or hateful shot towards Ji Xiao like knives, and Ji Xiao only felt that his hair was upside down, as if he was suddenly targeted by a large group of monsters.
"Hey, how about a change of position?" Suddenly, a voice rang out in the crowd.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young and beautiful girl with her hands on her waist, looking very aggressive. As for the object of her speech, it was a thin boy, as if taken by the girl's obscenity, it seemed to tremble, giving people a great visual gap.
Needless to say, the boy did not hesitate to change his position, and when the girl stood still in the boy's original position, everyone reacted, and next to her turned out to be Ji Xiao's position.
There's a good show to watch.
Everyone thought that the girl was seeing Ji Xiao and Mu Chiyi "eyebrows", so they wanted to find Ji Xiao's trouble, and looked at Ji Xiao as if they were busy watching a good show, but saw Ji Xiao showing a rather helpless smile at the girl.
Yuan Mengjun has always been low-key in school, coupled with the fact that his grandfather is a martial artist and the principal of the school, Yuan Mengjun is even more low-key in the ancient martial arts class, and he has never let others change positions with threats like today.
Ji Xiao knew very well that Yuan Mengjun wanted to protect her, because this time she almost had an accident, and Yuan Mengjun didn't want to let her solve the trouble by herself like before.
After Ji Xiao stood still, Mu Chiyi soon started the class, still practicing freely, but unlike before, Mu Chiyi allowed first-level martial artists to use the power of the source, and at the same time focused on the application of the power of the source.
So far, there are only about ten people in the class who have cultivated the power of the origin, and it stands to reason that the use of the power of the origin should not be mentioned in the course so early, but except for Ji Xiao, probably no one knows the reason why Mu Chiyi did this.
Once the explanation is complete, it's time for free practice.
Mu Chiyi didn't let Ji Xiao practice with him, and Ji Xiao didn't mention it, it seems that since Han Yunxing came to school last time to make trouble, the two have maintained a tacit understanding to keep their distance.
"Ji Xiao," an unkind voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Xiao, "Let's practice?" ”
is a rather bewitching-looking girl, with light makeup on her face and slightly raised eyeliner, which makes her eyes very attractive.
Ji Xiao recognized this girl, one of the few martial artists in the class who had reached the first level, named Xiang Qing, and she was also the flower of the ancient martial arts department.
Before Ji Xiao could speak, a slender arm suddenly pulled her behind her, and Yuan Mengjun stood in front of her and said to Xiang Qing: "Why don't we practice?" ”
"Okay." Xiang Qing knew that Yuan Mengjun was also a first-level martial artist, but she was not afraid, everyone was a student and about the same age, so she would definitely not be too bad in terms of strength, even if she couldn't beat it, she would never lose.
The two of them decided, and then quickly pulled away, and two obvious origin aura fluctuations were transmitted, one as hot as fire and the other as cold as frost.
