Back in the family, Xia Hao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people, and he disappeared for more than ten days, and only then did he appear, which also made many people see Xia Hao, whispering, all kinds of discussions, and speculations.

The voices of these mediocre people are louder than the chirping of cicadas, and Xia Hao is too lazy to listen to a word.

It's just the buzzing of flies.

"Huh?" When passing by the family martial arts arena, Xia Hao suddenly stopped slightly and looked over.

I saw that on the martial arts field, a young girl was holding a spear in her hand and was practicing hard and practicing marksmanship.

The girl's delicate body, combined with a large gun more than two meters long, presents a unique contrast.

The girl's sweat was like beads, soaked through her hair, her lips were tightened, and she practiced her marksmanship over and over again.

This girl is none other than Yuan Rushi.

Yuan Rushi, who practiced marksmanship, was more stubborn and persistent than her quiet and shy on weekdays, and her snow-white forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, still gritting her teeth, refusing to relax and slack.

"This little girl, she has cultivated so hard, is she thinking of fighting for me?" Looking at Yuan Rushi, who was practicing hard, Xia Hao touched his nose, and a slightly strange expression appeared on his face.

As an emperor in his previous life, Xia Hao had seen too many people and too many things, and when he saw Yuan Rushi like this, how could he not guess her thoughts. Yuan Rushi cultivated so hard, and she didn't want to be in the upcoming battle between Xia Hao and Xiao Qiang, if something happened, she would be able to better protect Xia Hao, and even replace Xia Hao when necessary.

Xia Hao was slightly moved in his heart.

It's really hard to have this heart for Yuan Rushi.

"Hmph, Yuan Rushi, Xia Hao is almost finished, are you still practicing guns here? Why don't you hurry up and look at your little fiancé, if he can't think about it, you won't be a little widow, hehe!" At this moment, a scathing and mean voice suddenly sounded, and I saw a woman, with four or five companions, appear on the martial arts arena and taunt Yuan Rushi.

The woman is fifteen or sixteen years old, tall, with a goose-egg-like face, quite a bit of posture, but her slightly narrow eyes and arrogant look make her face full of snarky and snobbish.

"Xia Qiong. Seeing this woman, Xia Hao frowned, his eyes slightly cold.

This woman named Xia Qiong is also a member of the Xia family, she is the daughter of Uncle Xia Hao, her qualifications are good, and her realm cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Fire Realm, but her character is not very good. Once, when Xia Longxing was still in the family, this Xia Qiong was extremely affectionate to Xia Hao, as if she was a confidant sister. However, when Xia Longxing was injured and the Great Elder rose up, she faced Xia Hao as if she was a different person, cold as ice, and even extremely ridiculed.

Today, Xia Qiong is Xiao Qiang's loyal admirer.

It's just that if she knew that Xiao Qiang coveted Yuan Rushi's beauty, I don't know how she would feel.

Not only Xia Qiong, but also Uncle Xia Hao's family. As members of the Xia family, they should have supported Xia Longxing, however, seeing that the Great Elder was powerful, and Xia Longxing's situation was getting worse day by day, they actually chose to take refuge in the Great Elder, which was shameful for such a character.

"Xia Qiong, what are you talking about? How can you say it, Xia Hao is also your cousin, you are so sneering, is there still a trace of family affection in your eyes?" Yuan Rushi raised her eyebrows, pointed the spear in her hand at Xia Qiong, and snorted coldly.

On weekdays, Yuan Rushi has a quiet personality and rarely fights with others, but when it comes to Xia Hao, she can't stand it.

"A waste, you can't say it?I don't want to be said by others, don't be so wasteful if you have the ability!" Xia Qiong raised her eyebrows at the corners of her mouth, looked at Yuan Rushi, and sneered: "What, you're not convinced?"

"Naturally, I'm not convinced!"

Yuan Rushi's body trembled with anger, he drank in his mouth, stepped out, vibrated the spear with both hands, and the body of the spear swirled around a ring of energy, like a dragon, and stabbed Xia Qiong.

"Self-inflicted humiliation. ”

Xia Qiong snorted coldly in his mouth, stimulated the sword martial spirit, waved his hands, and two short swords more than a foot long appeared in his hands, wrapped in a narrow sword light, facing Yuan Rushi, galloping away.

The flames splashed, and the two collided.

A figure was shocked and fell backwards, its delicate body swayed, and the spear in its hand was propped up on the ground to stabilize its figure.

Yuan Rushi's sideburns were scattered, and a pale look appeared on her face.

Her Heavenly Lotus physique had not awakened, and her current realm cultivation was only the fourth level of the Fire Realm, and she was not Xia Qiong's opponent.

Xia Qiong stood with a sword, looked at Yuan Rushi with contempt in her eyes, and said with a smile: "You also want to learn from Xia Hao's waste, don't measure yourself, and bring humiliation on yourself." Just rely on you, and if you practice for another hundred years, you will not be my opponent. You, like Xia Hao, are useless waste. ”

Yuan Rushi held the gun tightly, her knuckles turned white because of the force, her body trembled slightly, and she was unwilling in her heart, but the reality made her feel powerless.

"Who said that she is not as good as you. ”

A voice rang out.

Xia Qiong, Yuan Rushi and others were stunned and looked over.

Xia Hao walked slowly with his hands behind his back and appeared on the martial arts arena.

"It turned out to be our young patriarch. Looking at Xia Hao, Xia Qiong's eyebrows were lightly raised, her eyebrows were full of contempt, and she sneered: "What, you're not convinced?"

Xia Hao said lightly: "Since you are so confident and feel that you are not as good as you for a hundred years of practicing poetry, then, do you dare to make an appointment with her to fight?"

"Another appointment?" Xia Qiong laughed, and her companions behind her also laughed, "Our young patriarch, shouldn't it be that he is addicted to making an appointment with a war, not only making an appointment with himself, but also making an appointment with others for Yuan Rushi, is this a new trick to bring humiliation on himself this year?"

"What kind of battle method?" Xia Qiong asked with a sneer.

Xia Hao said: "It's very simple, just fifteen days later, in this martial arts arena, before the battle between me and Xiao Qiang, the two of you will fight. If you lose, you kneel down in front of the whole clan and apologize to Rushi for today's events, and for the ridicule and mean words of the past. ”

"Xia Hao......" Yuan Rushi pulled the corner of Xia Hao's clothes, looked hesitant, and stopped talking.

She didn't expect that Xia Hao would start an appointment with Xia Qiong for her.

For Xia Hao, she was not afraid to fight with Xia Qiong.

But in Yuan Rushi's heart, she really didn't have the confidence to defeat Xia Qiong.

It's okay if she is humiliated, but if she loses this covenant battle, Xia Hao, who initiated the covenant battle for her, will inevitably become the target of public criticism, ridiculed by everyone, humiliated and criticized.

Xia Hao gently held Yuan Rushi's soft boneless palm.

"Rest assured. You are a phoenix bird destined to soar in the sky, and they ......" Xia Hao stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Qiong and the others, pointed to their noses, pointed over one by one, and said: "These people are just noisy and pompous sparrows, how can they compare with you?
