Xujia Martial Arts Hall.

Several people were walking and chatting there, led by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed in black, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a resolute face, and a faint iron-blooded killing aura exuded from his body.

"Brother Xu Hai, this time the family is in a big competition, it is estimated that only you can compete with Xu Hong for the leader. The boy who spoke seemed to adore the boy in black and complimented.

Xu Hai said lightly: "I was seven years old under the master Dugu old man, more than eight years with him to wander around, went to the Tiandang Mountain Range to kill brute beasts, followed the dart team through the darts, once in the Black Dragon Mountain and the Black Dragon Village bandits bloody battle for a day and night, at that time, I used to kill the small leader of the bandits in the early stage of the Qi Martial Realm with the cultivation of the peak of the Fan Martial Realm. Later, he followed his master to the Liuyan Desert, and after three months of hiking, hunger, thirst and extreme heat, he finally broke through to the Qiwu Realm in a desperate situation. ”

"Hmph, isn't it great to have experienced? You will never know the difference between the two until you fight Brother Hong. Not far away, three or four more people came over, and Ye Xumei, who was dressed in a red dress, looked at Xu Hai provocatively.

Xu Hai glanced at Xu Mei: "It is true that he is very powerful, and the cultivation of the Qi Martial Realm Quadruple has a great advantage, but for me, who has experienced many tribulations, it is not invincible." ”

"On the contrary, it's you, Xu Mei, the qualifications measured at the beginning are far higher than mine, and now what kind of cultivation are you, you only know how to follow the flames, and it is difficult to make a difference in your life!"

"You! Brother Hong's control of the Xu family is the general trend. Xu Meijiao laughed, pointed at Xu Hai and said, "When the time comes, you can continue to follow your master to the end of the world, but what about your father and your sister." ”

"They've sued me for their choice, and I'm sure they won't regret it. ”

Xu Hai said that Xu Mei was speechless, and took people away angrily.

Waiting for Xu Mei and her party to leave, the young man next to Xu Hai said: "Brother Xu Hai, I support you, then Xu Hong is nothing great." ”

Xu Hai shook his head, "No, seriously, Xu Hong's strength is far beyond me, but if a martial artist knows that he will fail, he will not work hard, how can he improve?

"By the way, has there been any new powerful person in the Xu family recently. Xu Hai asked.

"The first three should be Brother Xu Hai, Xu Hong, and then Xu Mei just now. ”

"What about Xu Chen?"

The Xu family disciples around him all showed strange looks in their eyes: "Xu Chen, his temperament has changed a lot, but in terms of cultivation, he is still a waste, at most it is only the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!"

"Alas, everyone has different opportunities, if I had been sticking to the Xu family back then, I would have cultivated this now. ”

"How is it possible, that guy is nothing but the godson of the head of the family, and he can be compared with Brother Xu Hai. ”

"Being able to cultivate to the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm shows that he has put in a lot of hard work, and the qualifications he measured at that time were the worst. When Xu Hai talked about Xu Chen, he remembered the stubborn young boy back then, and said softly in his heart, in fact, we are all the same kind of people.

......

It was getting dark, a few oil lamps were lit, and the lobby was bright.

The family dinner began.

Although it was a dinner party, it was actually a test for children who had reached the age of fifteen, and only when they reached the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm could they be eligible to participate in the family competition ten days later.

At the same time, all the children of the martial arts realm above the seventh level have a chance to enter the family martial arts pavilion.

It's a beautiful place!

If you can't reach the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, you will be deprived of your right of residence and assigned to the family property service.

Therefore, the family dinner is generally called - the last supper, which is really a few joys and a few sorrows!

The head of the family, Xu Qingyang, landed in the center of the hall, and then dozens of tables were scattered around.

Now there are more than a dozen disciples sitting around the main table, all of whom are disciples of the family, Xu Hai and Xu Xiaoqian are impressively listed.

Unlike in the past, the second table was full, and there was a steady stream of people joining.

Xu Xiaoqian looked at the children of the family who surrounded her on weekdays and now turned against each other, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, "These wall grass!"

Xu Hai raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "Why did Xu Hong gather so many people?"

"Haha! Everyone is here, let's get started!" The crowd automatically lined up, and a burly middle-aged man walked over, he was wearing a purple brocade robe, with wide sleeves, and a lively tiger embroidered on his chest, which was seven points similar to Xu Qingyang's head of the family's tiger suit!

"How is it possible? Young Master Xu Chen obviously hasn't come over yet. Why did he announce the start?" a disciple beside Xu Qingyang glared angrily, and was interrupted by Xu Qingyang waving his hand.

Great Elder Shi Shiran walked to Xu Qingyang's side and sat down, he completely ignored the angry gazes of the people around him, a pair of tiger eyes glared at him, the crowd in that place even had to breathe still, for fear of provoking his attention, and now he could be said to be complacent.

Next to the Great Elder, Xu Hong and Xu Mei followed them, both looking down at everyone with arrogant expressions.

"It seems that the third child really secretly took refuge in Xu Qingba's old horseman!"

Xu Mei standing next to the Great Elder is proof of this, Xu Qingyang also has a trace of loss in his eyes, he and the Third Elder Xu Qingming are brothers of the same mother, and they are betrayed at this moment, and they are very uncomfortable!

Bell!

With the three bells that rang to mark the beginning of the family dinner, everyone in the hall stood in solemnity.

At the table, the teenagers and girls who were about to wait for the trial were standing nervously, some of them usually looked excellent, but their faces were not much nervous, while some of them were average or low-talented, and they were hesitant and apprehensive.

Xu Qingyang looked at the people with different faces with a calm face, and sighed softly in his heart, Chen'er, can you pass this level?

"Family Master, the time has come, why hasn't Xu Chen arrived yet?" beside Xu Qingyang, the third elder frowned and asked.

Xu Qingyang glanced at him coldly, and said in a flat tone: "Let's start when the time comes, why do the three elders have to wait for him to come?"

Choked by Xu Qingyang, the third elder looked a little ugly and turned his head, but the great elder snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you to open the back door to him, use the family's resources to buy pills, and spend them on him, but in the end, he still failed to reach the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, that's all, the qualification is innate, and no one can force it." But he was too scared to appear at the moment, and he became a turtle with a shrunken head. Xu Qingyang, what is the feeling in your heart at the moment?"

Sure enough, the Great Elder's words caused a riot, and a month ago, there were rumors that Xu Qingyang had embezzled all the resources in the clan privately and used them to buy pills to cultivate Xu Chen. At that time, not many people believed it, but later this matter became more and more popular, and even justified, no one from the head of the family came out to clarify, and Xu Chen's waste material was just right 'missing', and the matter became boiling.

In the end, it was even more alarming that Elder Taishang personally went out of the customs and directly took over Xu Qingyang's family head Yin Xin, so that the matter was temporarily calmed down.

The people around Xu Qingyang were all worried, although they knew very well about Xu Qingyang's fairness, they were afraid that he would lose his square inch because of family affection at a critical moment and make a big mistake for a while.

"Haha! If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" Xu Qingyang laughed freely, "My Xu Qingyang's contributions to the family in the past 20 years, everyone sees it, when did I, Xu Xu, seek personal gain?"

"Oh? Xu Qingba's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid that only after the family dinner, Elder Taishang's personal investigation is enough to convince everyone. ”

The corners of Xu Qingyang's eyes jumped, but he didn't speak again, he already knew what Elder Taishang meant.

In the Xu family, if there is no serious matter, it is generally discussed by the family elders, and finally the head of the family makes a decision, and in the past few decades, due to Xu Qingyang's outstanding contributions, most of them are decided by him alone.

But there is only one exception, and that is the crisis to the life and death of the family!

Xu Qingyang's heart was gloomy, the Xu family was still too weak to completely ignore the threat of the Seven Rank Sect. Although Chen'er had only made a three-year appointment with the Extreme Sword Sect, the Extreme Sword Sect did not deliberately make it difficult.

Elder Taishang obeyed Xu Qingba's wishes, and was eager to remove their father and son from the Xu family, this is to completely dissociate themselves from the relationship!

But Xu Qingyang still can't hate it in his heart, and he doesn't want the Xu family's thousand-year-old foundation to be ruined.

Just when Xu Qingyang was troubled, the atmosphere in the field was slightly riotous.

At this time, a clear voice came into the room: "What are you doing in a daze? Eat to your heart's content! How embarrassed so many people are waiting for me!"

With a turn of his eyes, at the door of the hall, a determined figure was coming slowly, and his calm pace did not seem to have stopped because of too many gazes.

Squinting slightly at the faint mockery on the young man's face in the distance, Xu Qingyang's heart was full of troubles, and he breathed a sigh of relief......
