Chapter 16 Shaded by the Great Elder
The first rays of sunlight in the morning slowly rose from the eastern sky, and the golden yellow light shone directly on a huge field located in the center of Xiao Mansion.
This is the central square of the Xiao family, and generally speaking, it is only used for the family competition once every three years and the coming-of-age ceremony once a year.
But early this morning, the people set up the place, and two forging tables were placed in the center of the field, each with an iron ingot the size of a watermelon and several forging hammers.
At the suggestion of the Great Elder, this place became the place where Xiao Yao and Xiao Hua competed.
After breakfast, the central square, which is rarely visited on weekdays, is crowded with people, and the noise seems to be more popular than that of the vegetable market.
"The patriarch has arrived!"
A low and serious voice suddenly floated slowly above the square, and the surrounding noise suddenly became much quieter.
As everyone's eyes focused on one place, Xiao Dingtian's figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
The smiling eyes swept down the square, and occasionally, the gaze would stop somewhere, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes.
After he sat down in the center, his fingers habitually bent, and he gently tapped the armrest of the chair a few times, and then murmured meaningfully:
"Almost all the Xiao family members in Yewu City have arrived, and even the few retreat elders have come out, you ...... Obviously came to see me make a fool of myself? The Xiao family, a little centrifuged? Even the little guy Xue Boling didn't take me very seriously, it seems that I am indeed as Qingfeng and Qingwu brothers said back then...... It's so merciful!"
In a whisper, Great Elder Xiao Haotian appeared between the two forging tables in the square, and a dry cough suddenly spit out from his mouth, immediately suppressing the noise of the entire square.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Dingtian's pupils shrank suddenly, and then they opened, and two terrifying cold lights suddenly shot out from them, but they were like meteors flashing in the night sky, fleeting.
As the square fell silent, Xiao Hua jumped from below in a blue suit, jumped onto the stage, with a confident smile on his face, and waved his hand to the place where many teenagers gathered in the west.
Suddenly, applause, shouts, and screams rang out one after another from that side, and it seemed that he still had a lot of prestige among the younger generation of the Xiao family.
However, this sound did not last long before it stopped abruptly, and the entire square fell into silence all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes suddenly shifted from Xiao Hua's body to the east stand, and their eyes flashed with a slight heat at the same time.
Even Xiao Dingtian, Xiao Haotian and others looked over, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time: Why is she here?
There are many kinds of beauty in women, but there is one of them that will make you forget the passage of time, and you are willing to stay in that moment forever, just to watch her quietly, and can't bear to disturb her tranquility!
At this time, the girl who appeared in the east stand was such a beauty.
She looked sixteen or seventeen years old, but her warrior suit was only blue and white: white clothes, white trousers, and a blue ribbon around her waist, outlining her slender waist and elevated breasts, which led people to rise to infinite reverie;
The whole person stands there like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, delicate, elegant, exuding a detached temperament, at a glance, it will be unforgettable!
At the place where everyone's eyes converged, the girl sat down quietly alone, her calm and immature pretty face did not change the slightest because of everyone's attention.
"Fifth brother is here!"
Suddenly, among the young people in the West Stand, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn from the girl's body to the center of the stand.
There, Xiao Yao, who was dressed in a black power suit, walked slowly up the steps with steady steps under the gaze of the strange eyes around him.
When he walked up, he stopped, with a vague smile on his face, his expression was calm but full of confidence, which made many of the elders who were secretly observing admired in their hearts!
Xiao Yao's right arm was raised high and waved at everyone, but there were few responders.
However, Xiao Yao didn't care, his eyes without any emotion scanned around, and when he moved to the girl's face, his eyeballs instantly froze, staring at her without blinking, and a small red flame suddenly flashed from it.
The four eyes were facing each other, and the two beams of gaze were intertwined in mid-air, and a small green flame suddenly appeared in the girl's deep eyes, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the red flame in Xiao Yao's eyes also disappeared at this moment.
"Xiao Yao?"
Xiao Qingya's cherry lips squirmed slightly, Xiao Yao's name couldn't help but murmur, and then, her pretty face couldn't help but flush a touch of crimson, and her eyes were lowered, lest someone see this shy appearance at this time.
"This guy's soul power seems to be much stronger than before? The most surprising thing is that there is actually a kind of spiritual fire in his body? It seems that this former genius boy of the Xiao family is really worth my attention!"
When she was muttering to herself there, Xiao Yao didn't look away because she lowered her head, and still stared at her.
However, his brows were slightly furrowed, and from her body, Xiao Yao inexplicably felt a very familiar aura. This breath made him feel very close.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yao was not a womanizer, and after a few seconds, he also lowered his head and asked himself in great surprise: "How can there be a blue fire in the eyes of the little elder? Why does this blue fire make me feel very familiar? Is it my delusion?"
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he let out a long breath of air, stabilized his emotions, and moved his gaze to the face of the patriarch Xiao Dingtian, whose eyes were full of resentment.
Unlike Xiao Qingfeng, Xiao Yao never concealed his dissatisfaction with this grandfather who only had family in his eyes and no family affection.
Feeling that Xiao Yao was looking at him with resentful eyes, Xiao Dingtian's eyes first became extremely complicated, but then, it changed several colors, and finally it became cold, and a flame of anger emerged from it, although it was fleeting, Xiao Yao still keenly captured it.
"Angry?"
He snorted coldly in his heart, and a resolute look surged on Xiao Yao's resolute face, "I just want to divorce Xue Rongrong, what can you do if you don't agree? What Dad and Sixth Uncle can do, I can do too." I can't let my dad suffer the humiliation of being humiliated by the woman who took the initiative to come to the door to repent of the marriage because of me!
"Boy, you yourself were accidentally plotted, then don't blame me for using you as a pawn. In order for the family to be able to obtain greater benefits, I have to wronged you. However, if you are allowed to enter the spiritual pool to cultivate, even if it is a compensation for the debt that my grandfather owes to your father and son. ”
With a decision in his heart, Xiao Dingtian slowly stood up, with a trademark nasty smile on his face.
The smiling eyes swept around the square, and the whisperers all stopped, staring at the patriarch with a serious expression, and there was an indescribable reverence in their eyes!
"Yes, everyone still recognizes me as a patriarch. ”
Xiao Dingtian nodded with satisfaction, and then, he cleared his throat and said unhurriedly: "Since Xiao Yao is here, let's start!"
Seeing that he said something salty and indifferent, he sat down, Xiao Haotian's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of resentment, but he regained his calm in the blink of an eye.
His gaze shifted slightly, and he swept the faces of Xiao Yao and Xiao Hua, and he said expressionlessly and in a serious tone: "Everything is ready for you, there is no objection, then let's take it all!"
Xiao Hua glanced at Xiao Yao, who had a calm face, and said contemptuously: "Old Five, you pick first!"
"Then I'd be better to be respectful than to be smart. Xiao Yao smiled slightly, and was not polite to him, and directly dodged into the forging table closest to him.
"Pretend to be calm. ”
Xiao Hua's face did not change, and he swore and said: "Old Five, you are destined to be a loser today!"
"I will also give you this sentence!"
"I'd like to see how you win me. ”
His forging level is the highest among the younger generation of the family, and besides, during this time, his grandfather Xiao Haotian has given him special training, which has improved his forging level very much.
Therefore, after listening to Xiao Yao's words, Xiao Hua sneered, his face was disapproving, his lips raised a contemptuous arc, he stopped speaking, and walked quickly into another forging platform.
Seeing that the two of them were ready, the yin owl's eyes glanced at Xiao Yao, and Xiao Hao shouted loudly: "The forging competition has officially begun!"
Suddenly, Xiao Hua and Xiao Yao lit the charcoal fire almost at the same time, pulled the bellows, and began the preparations before forging.
When the red flame turned blue, Xiao Yao clamped the iron ingot with a clamp and placed it in the center of the charcoal fire, and continued to pull the bellows to raise the temperature of the flame.
Under the action of high temperature, although the iron ingot was burned red, it continued to make a "crackling" sound like fried broad beans.
"I'm grass!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yaohu's body, who was pulling the bellows, trembled, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Hua. Seeing that there was no special change in the iron ingots on his charcoal fire, Xiao Yao moved his gaze to the face of Xiao Haotian, the Great Elder who returned to the stands.
"Old bastard, how dare you scare me?"
Xiao Yao's face instantly turned cold to the extreme, and the red flames jumped up again in the black pupils that contracted into pinholes, like a beast staring at its prey, staring at Xiao Haotian with awe-inspiring killing intent......
