Chapter 31: Zhao Ling'er's Gamble
Xiao Yizheng was sleeping in a daze, and was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door, opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly thought of something very important, that is, the alchemy competition with Situ Tianyu was held today.
"Young master, Miss Su came to you and said that there was an emergency!" Qin'er's little Lori voice came from outside the door.
"Got it, what's the hurry?" Xiao Yi muttered, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he wasn't too anxious, the trial pill was just a trivial matter in his eyes.
The Situ family made this matter known to everyone, and invited the city lord of Qingyun City to testify, just to make Xiao Yi make a fool of himself in public and lose the face of the Xiao family.
However, I don't know who made a fool of myself this time?
Xiao Yi tossed for a while before he came out of the room, and at this time, Su Yiyue, who had been waiting in the living room for a long time, was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Goddess Su Yiyue wore a light green dress today, which looked quite smart and beautiful.
Xiao Chengtian asked her to call Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi, a bastard, was grinding, and when he saw Xiao Yi appear, he was angry: "When is it, it's still grinding, is it a man, Uncle Xiao is in a hurry!"
"Hehe, if it's a man, you'll know later!" Xiao Yi snorted, smiled obscenely, and laughed.
When Su Yiyue heard this, she couldn't help but blush, and she didn't have time to talk to Xiao Yi right now, so she pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve and pulled it out.
"The people from the three major families have arrived, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion have also come, so I'm sending you!" Su Yiyue's tone was a little angry, this guy is really heartless, and it would be impossible to ask so many people to wait for him!
"What's the matter with me?" Xiao Yi followed behind Su Yiyue, walking gracefully, a word that was none of his business, almost fainted Su Yiyue, today's protagonist is him, he actually said that it was none of his business, I really don't know how to say that he is good.
"Today is the trial pill between you and Situ Tianyu, why is it none of your business?" Su Yiyue pursed her lips, and she was speechless at the person in front of her.
"The alchemy competition was originally just a competition between juniors, the Situ family made this matter known to everyone, and invited people from the City Lord's Mansion, just to make me ugly in front of everyone and make such a big scene, if I don't show up, I will see how the Situ family will end? Now it's also the Situ family's urgency, what's the matter with me?" Xiao Yi raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully.
"Forehead......" Su Yiyue was obviously stunned, it seems that what this bastard said is quite reasonable, this Situ family was originally planning this, but she didn't think of this: "Then do you still want to go?"
"Why don't you go, the three shops of the Situ family that sell pills are the fragrant dumplings that everyone wants, since the Situ family has sent them to the door, I won't accept them, so I can't say it." So, not only to go, but also to hurry up......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yi didn't say a word, quickened his pace, and walked towards the martial arts arena in the center of Qingyun City. Su Yiyue felt that she couldn't see through this guy more and more, he was the one who said just now that he was not in a hurry, and now he is the one who is in a hurry, how can there be such a person in this world.
Su Yiyue was speechless in her heart, so she had to keep up with Xiao Yi's footsteps.
There were already a lot of onlookers gathered around the martial arts arena in the center of Qingyun City at this moment, and the stands were young talents and clansmen from the three major families, most of whom were holding to see Xiao Yi make a fool of himself.
"Hey, who do you think will win today's contest?"
"Cut, do you still have to guess? If the waste young master of the Xiao family can win, I'll cut off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on!"
"Haha...... I also think so, I don't know what the young master of the Xiao family is crazy about, and he actually wants to compete with Situ Tianyu to try the alchemy pill, see how he makes a fool of himself in front of the city lord!"
Although there were many onlookers gathered in the martial arts arena in the center of Qingyun City, most of them were not optimistic about Xiao Yi, and they came here just to see Xiao Yi's jokes.
On the stand on the side of the martial arts arena, a girl in a red dress looked quite conspicuous, frowning as she listened to everyone's discussions, with a look of displeasure.
A white-clothed young man beside him seemed to see the change in the girl's expression, and said meaningfully: "Does the third sister think that Brother Xiao Yi will win?"
"Or else?" replied the girl in red, with a hint of indifference on her beautiful face.
"Forehead......" The young man in white froze for a moment, what's wrong with his unruly sister today, how does it feel weird, I like to join in the fun at other times, why do you look cold today?
The girl in red also stopped talking, she knew a lot about Xiao Yi's details, this seemingly unscrupulous waste young master was actually deeply hidden, Situ Tianyu and the Situ family were probably going to lose blood luck.
In the center of the stands, a middle-aged man in simple clothes sat in the center of the audience, and on both sides sat the head of the Xiao family and the head of the Situ family, one of the three major families in Qingyun City, which shows that the identity of the middle-aged man is not ordinary.
The middle-aged man is none other than Nie Tianyun, the city lord of Qingyun City, and the city lord's mansion is a transcendent existence in Qingyun City, mainly dealing with the affairs of ordinary people, and generally does not participate in the battle between the three major families.
Powerful and low-key, this is the impression given by the City Lord's Mansion.
"Xiao family master, what's the matter with your son Xiao Yi, you must know that the Nie City Lord has a lot of opportunities, and he has to wait for a yellow-haired boy, what kind of system will it become?" Situ Yaori saw that Xiao Yi had not appeared for a long time, and his heart was also anxious, and he complained to Xiao Chengtian.
"It's okay, the city lord is also idle, just take a look at the young people to learn!" Nie Tianyun was very cheerful, waved his hand, and said that he didn't mind.
Xiao Chengtian didn't pay attention to Situ Yaori's words, but smiled at Nie Yuntian, to be honest, he was actually in a good mood today, and there was no other reason, it was because Xiao Yi gave him the pill, which allowed him to easily break through the barrier of the peak of the Nine Rank Martial Arts and break through to the realm of the Martial Sect.
When this news is spoken, there is no doubt that the entire Qingyun City will be shaken, but where is Xiao Chengtian the kind of person who has never seen the world, his joy and anger are invisible, and now is the sensitive juncture of the Situ family's theft.
What the hell is this kid doing, he hasn't come here for so long? Xiao Chengtian frowned, and he was also a little anxious.
At this time, a girl in red walked over, saw Xiao Chengtian at a glance, smiled, and said, "Uncle Xiao is good! Why hasn't Xiao Yi come yet?"
"Huh...... It should be soon!" Xiao Chengtian smiled bitterly, he was just in a hurry, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Miss Ling'er!" At this time, a rather excited voice sounded, it was Situ Tianyu, who was standing beside Situ Yaori and had not spoken.
Situ Tianyu has always been a loyal suitor of Zhao Linger, and when he saw Zhao Ling'er coming over at this moment, he hurriedly came over to say hello.
Zhao Ling'er frowned when she heard this, she couldn't tell why, she had an inexplicable disgust for the person in front of her, if the conditions permitted, Zhao Ling'er didn't mind rushing up and smacking this guy.
"What, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ling'er stroked the green silk in front of her forehead, and said expressionlessly, to be honest, she didn't want to pay attention to Situ Tianyu, but because of the friendship between the two families, she dealt with it perfunctorily.
"I didn't expect Miss Zhao to come to the next stage, it's really an honor to be here!" The smile on Situ Tianyu's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum blooming, according to Situ Yaori's meaning, the Situ family and the Zhao family both intend to marry, and soon the Situ family will propose to the Zhao family, Situ Tianyu has already regarded Zhao Ling'er as a forbidden child in his heart.
"Young Master Situ I'm afraid I'm mistaken, I'm not here to support you, I'm here to support Xiao Yi's field!" Zhao Ling'er's pretty face was slightly cold, and her words were amazing, listening to Situ Tianyu's ears, it obviously made him stunned, she was honest, she was indeed here to support Xiao Yi's field.
What happened the day before yesterday made Zhao Ling'er's opinion of Xiao Yi change dramatically, and she came here today just to see what other powerful means this strange Xiao Yi has.
"Huh...... Miss Ling'er, is this joking with Zaixia? Just by that Xiao Yi, she wants to win me in alchemy, isn't it a joke?" Situ Tianyu was a little displeased, sneered, and said confidently, his tone full of disdain for Xiao Yi.
"Really, why do I think Xiao Yiying is a little bigger?" Zhao Ling'er said without being salty or indifferent, obviously deliberately provoking Situ Tianyu, don't ask her why she did this, just seeing a person who doesn't like it is in a bad mood, and it is also a thing to make yourself feel good.
"Hmph...... Miss Ling'er also doesn't look at me Situ Tianyu too much, if I win, will Miss Zhao dare to take the matter of the marriage between the two families?" Although Situ Tianyu was dissatisfied, his mind was still sober, and he was thinking about it at this time.
"Why don't you dare? If you can win Xiao Yi, what about the family affairs of the two families?" Zhao Ling'er pouted, what was Situ Tianyu thinking in his heart, how could Zhao Ling'er not know, since you want to design it for me, you must be mentally prepared to be designed by me.
Zhao Ling'er is almost 100% sure in her heart that Xiao Yi will definitely have the ability to win this competition, and she will definitely do her best to win this competition.
Because this competition involves the important interests of the two families, they lost three shops selling ammunition, and Zuichun Mansion was also burned by Xiao Yiyi, if the Situ family gained nothing in this competition, then the Situ family may no longer be called the first family in Qingyun City.
The Situ family can't afford to lose, and the Xiao family can't afford to lose either, this alchemy competition that seems to be just a competition between juniors actually hides a mystery, and its final result even affects the status of the two major families in Qingyun City, which is already the power pattern of Qingyun City.
"Haha...... I believe that Tianyu can win Xiao Yi, since the two of you want to make this bet, how about I come to be a witness?" A loud laugh came, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walked over, the middle-aged man was full of red face, slightly rich, but not majestic.
This person is Zhao Feng, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ling'er's father. Hearing the conversation between Zhao Linger and Situ Tianyu, Zhao Feng also had a plan, so he simply pushed the boat down.
This baby daughter of his, who is stubborn by nature, is reluctant to marry the Situ family, Zhao Feng has no way to take her, the marriage of children has always been the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, but unfortunately his daughter is such an exception, no one can control her.
When I encountered this matter today, I just had a good time, but it was a matter of my own, the Situ family was powerful, and only by walking together with the Situ family could the Zhao family have a better foothold in Qingyun City.
"Huh...... If my father is willing, then of course it is the best!" Zhao Ling'er chuckled, Situ Tianyu was stunned for a moment, but he was secretly happy in his heart, I have to say that this is also a matter of her heart!
