Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Enemy

The Zhao family, a huge shili standing in the imperial city, among all the families in the entire Dayu Empire, the Zhao family is undoubtedly ranked first, and over the years, even the royal family has maintained a little politeness to the Zhao family.

Today, is undoubtedly the most lively day of the Zhao family in the past few years, because today, the Zhao family's five-year martial arts competition is about to kick off, this clan competition, to all the young people of the Zhao family to provide a platform to display their talents, but also for the Zhao family to select outstanding talents to lay the foundation, through this clan competition, the Zhao family will select some outstanding talents from the branch into the imperial city Zhao family headquarters, the strong will even be directly absorbed as the core members, and once they become the core members of the Zhao family, the status of the entire Zhao family is naturally soaring。

The martial arts arena in the backyard of the Zhao family was already crowded at this time, and when you looked up, there were hundreds of them, just like that, there were still people pouring in, so you can see that the Zhao family's huge size is not for nothing.

The crowd on the martial arts arena was surging, and the noise filled the sky above the martial arts arena, and the whole scene was full of voices.

All the young people had excitement on their faces, today was a day to witness their strength, and perhaps for those branch members, it was also a day to change their fate, so in the excitement, it was not difficult for some people to see that there was still a trace of nervousness.

This Zhao family competition is specially set for young people under the age of twenty, as long as the strength reaches the level of martial artists or above, they can participate, of course, if they are not willing to take this risk, they can also give up.

When Zhao Xiaoyi pulled Zhao Ling'er to the Zhao family's martial arts arena, it was already crowded with people, and as soon as he stepped into the martial arts arena, a wave of Lang rushed towards him, which made Zhao Xiaoyi frown slightly.

"Let's go, sister. After Zhao Xiaoyi's footsteps paused outside the martial arts arena, he pulled Zhao Ling'er towards the crowd.

"Wait a minute, it seems to be the Third Elder. Zhao Xiaoyi was just about to squeeze in, but Zhao Ling'er pulled him down at this time, stretched out his slender hand and pointed to the other side of the crowd.

Looking at Zhao Ling'er's fingers, Zhao Xiaoyi saw that on the other side of the crowd, an old man about fifty or sixty years old was giving guidance to several young people with a smile.

"Is this the Third Elder!" staring at the old figure, Zhao Xiaoyi muttered, he had always heard Zhao Ling'er say that the Third Elder was their benefactor, and it was the first time he had seen it.

"Let's go, go over and say hello to the third elder first. Zhao Ling'er raised a slight smile on her face, and then pulled Zhao Xiaoyi over there.

It was only a few steps away, and the two of them quickly came to the third elder, and the three elders naturally noticed them, just looking at Zhao Xiaoyi and Zhao Ling'er looking at themselves with such eyes, the three elders were slightly stunned, "You?"

"Third Elder, I'm Ling'er!" Before the Third Elder finished speaking, Zhao Ling'er shouted with a smile.

"Ling'er?" The third elder's eyes narrowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and then followed, the faint pair of eyes widened, "Ling'er, are you Zhao Cheng's child?"

"Well, it's me! This is Xiao Yi, don't you remember, Third Elder?" Seeing that the Third Elder thought about it, a rare bright smile rose on the corner of Zhao Ling'er's mouth.

"Haha, it's really you, I can't imagine that you haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you have grown so big that even an old man like me can't recognize it. The third elder's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two of them carefully, and there was love between his eyebrows, this kind of affection, as if a grandfather saw his own grandson.

"I've seen the three elders!" Zhao Xiaoyi clasped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully at this time, Zhao Ling'er had told him before that the three elders were their benefactors, so Zhao Xiaoyi had nothing to do with him.

"Hehe, this is Xiao Yi, right! You have all transformed into a big guy, Ling'er, you have also become a big girl, I really don't know how happy Zhao Cheng is to see the two of you grow up like this!" The third elder patted Zhao Xiaoyi's arm, and when he saw Zhao Xiaoyi, he seemed to see Zhao Cheng back then.

Zhao Cheng is Zhao Xiaoyi's father, after Zhao Cheng entered the Zhao family with his own strength and became a core member, he had a very good relationship with the three elders, and it was precisely because of the three elders that he was able to save the lives of Zhao Ling'er's two siblings.

"Are you also coming back to participate in the clan competition this time?" After a pause, the third elder asked again.

"Well, I received an invitation three months ago, and I came with my sister. Zhao Xiaoyi nodded and said.

"Your father also stood out from the branch back then, and the results at that time were very staggering, young man, tiger father has no dog son, I believe that you will definitely not be weaker than your father. The eyes of the three elders flashed with a soft light, Zhao Xiaoyi's current strength he could naturally see, although it was not very prominent, but Zhao Xiaoyi was completely relying on his own efforts, and he could have such an achievement before the age of twenty, and if he cultivated more in the future, it would not be impossible to reach the level of a martial king.

"Well, the kid will definitely live up to the expectations of the three elders. Zhao Xiaoyi nodded, he didn't know what the Third Elder thought, but with his current talent, it was not difficult to reach the Martial King and surpass his father.

"I don't know if it's right or wrong for you to come back this time, this time is too busy, I neglected you two, although so many years have passed, but I don't know if he will be jealous of the two of you. The smile on the third elder's face gradually retracted, and he sighed slightly at this time.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyi frowned slightly, Zhao Ling'er had told him before that his father was killed by the Zhao family, but he didn't mention who it was, and now Zhao Xiaoyi doesn't know who killed his nominal father, "Third Elder, who was the person who killed my father in the first place?"

The third elder was slightly stunned, and glanced at Zhao Ling'er, although Zhao Xiaoyi and Zhao Ling'er were not big at that time, but Zhao Ling'er was already sensible, and Zhao Ling'er, the person who killed Zhao Cheng, naturally knew, but he didn't expect Zhao Ling'er to never tell Zhao Xiaoyi, but now that he has come to the Zhao family, the third elder also needs to remind him, and he is also very careful in his actions," The one who killed your father was the Four Elders, and in order to compete for the position of the Four Elders, he designed to eradicate the stumbling block of your father, but I want to remind you, even if you know, but before you have that strength, don't be rash, in the Zhao family, there are some people you can't touch yet. ”

"Fourth Elder!" Zhao Xiaoyi didn't have much idea about this Zhao family, but just remembered the person of the Fourth Elder in his mind, "Don't worry, Third Elder, I know how to measure." "Now that he knows who the other party is, this Qiu Zhao Xiaoyi naturally can't help but report it, but as the third elder said, now is not the time, he doesn't have that strength for the time being.

"Well, that's the best, okay, the time is almost up, you go to the contestant area and wait! Wait for you to come out, I'll pick you up, but remember, if you feel that the other party is strong, you'd better stay out of the way, don't be a bird, no matter what, life is the most important, your sister follows me, you can rest assured." The third elder nodded, he looked at the middle of the martial arts arena, and then said.

Zhao Xiaoyi nodded, and then looked at Zhao Ling'er, "I'll go, sister." ”

Zhao Ling'er's face was a little unnatural, her beautiful eyes flashed, faintly misty, she took a step forward, and hugged Zhao Xiaoyi with her arms outstretched, "Remember the words of the third elder, there are many masters of the Zhao family, if you encounter an invincible, don't be reckless, you are the only hope for my sister to live, my sister is waiting for you outside." ”

How many times did Zhao Xiaoyi feel moved by this sister who cared for him like a mother, he patted Zhao Ling'er on the back and nodded, "Don't worry, sister, I will come back safely." ”

After a few simple sighs, Zhao Xiaoyi looked at the three elders and Zhao Ling'er, and then turned around and walked towards the middle of the martial arts arena.
