Chapter 1: The Floating Boy
The sea of clouds realm, the white floating country, the national capital Fujing.
The sky has just dawned, the streets are deserted, and the vast majority of people are still asleep......
Whew!
On the corner of the street, the boy ran with a heavy load, his viscera was strong and his breath was long.
Before I knew it, I was sweating profusely.
The boy was born with clear eyebrows, a thin body, and a pair of dark eyes with a maturity far beyond his peers.
"The General's Mansion should pay me today, and when I get the money, I have to buy medicine for my grandfather first, it's been raining lately, and my leg may hurt a lot......"
The boy muttered to himself as he ran, thinking about the day's plan.
His name is Jiang Xuan, a native of Fujing, who lives with his elderly grandfather and lives in his ancestral house.
Because of his special family background, Jiang Xuan was sensible very early, and relied on part-time work to support him and his grandfather.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan, while exercising in the morning, rushed to the general's mansion in the south of the city, ready to start his first job of the day.
He turned a corner and entered the alley he usually passed.
But in the alley, which is usually rarely crowded, today there were unexpectedly five or six people standing, blocking the passage.
Jiang Xuan stopped, looked at the familiar face of the leader of the man, and his face sank.
"Li Kun, what do you mean by this?"
Li Kun, who was blocking the road, was wearing a brocade robe, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, looking a little feminine.
He and Jiang Xuan are both students of the Changfeng Martial Academy, the two are usually completely unfamiliar, and they don't even have any contact, they just met a few days ago, and they broke up unhappily.
"Jiang Xuan, I gave you a few days to think about it, your ancestral house, to sell it or not?"
Li Kun said slowly, and the few big men who followed him were all born with a tiger's back, Kong Wu was powerful, and he looked at Jiang Xuan with an unkind face at the moment.
Jiang Xuan laughed angrily when he heard this.
"What's the matter? I rejected it a few days ago, and now I plan to buy and sell it by force? Why didn't your father Li Zhenyue come by himself and send you here to threaten me, not afraid of ruining your Li family's family name?"
"My father has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to take care of a little person like you. I'm just worrying about my father, I hope you can understand. ”
Li Kun's brows furrowed slightly.
"In your area, everyone else has already sold their houses to our Li family, and only you and your grandfather insist on not selling. Your ancestral house is in tatters, you can't protect it from cold in winter and rain in summer, why hold on to it, the conditions offered by our Li family are not bad. ”
"As I said, my grandfather had a deep affection for his ancestral home, which cannot be measured by money. If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, do you think I'll be scared if you go to great lengths to lead a bunch of people to block my way today?"
Jiang Xuan's voice was firm, the qi and blood in his body were surging, and his eyes were vigilantly staring at the enemy in front of him.
Li Kun saw that Jiang Xuan's words were the same as those of the previous days, and there was no tone of discussion at all, and his face became a little gloomy at the moment.
"You're not afraid that I'll kill you here? With your fourfold cultivation, you don't know how you'll die then!"
"There are a lot of you, I really can't win, but I can escape, if I escape, I will definitely try my best to publicize the good things your Li family has done!"
Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
The cultivation of Baifu Country is very strong, especially the children born in Fujing, as soon as they reach the age, they will be sent to the martial arts academy by their parents like Jackie Chan to cultivate.
Jiang Xuan entered the martial arts academy at the age of ten, and his grades have always been very good, but now he is only fifteen years old, and he is already an acquired fourfold martial artist, only one step away from becoming a respected martial artist.
But Li Kun is also excellent in the academy, and his cultivation is the same as that of the acquired quadruple.
And the Li family is wealthy in Fujing, and the resources that Li Kun has are not comparable to him.
If he fights with him, he has little chance of victory.
Coupled with the thugs of the Li family who came with Li Kun, if they stepped forward together regardless of their faces, Jiang Xuan would definitely not have a glimmer of hope.
It's early in the morning, and this alley is very remote, so if Li Kun really has murderous intentions, it is indeed possible to be unaware.
Jiang Xuan knew this, but when he thought of his grandfather's feelings for the ancestral house, he didn't allow himself to back down even a little.
The Li family is a well-known family in Fujing, so they naturally cherish their reputation, and he threatens Li Kun to spread the matter widely, which can more or less make him jealous.
"Toast and don't eat and drink! You have to understand that with you, a small servant feeding horses in the General's Mansion, you can't compete with a towering tree like my Li family!"
"The more you resist, the worse your fate will be. You can think clearly, there is hope for the ancestral house to be gone, and if you die, your crippled grandfather will have no one to take care of you. ”
Li Kun threatened viciously.
Jiang Xuan's eyes were almost bursting with anger, but he knew that it was useless to say more, so his body slowly retreated.
"There's a piece of news you may not know. ”
Li Kun's eyes rolled and his mouth sneered.
"My Li family has always had a good relationship with Lieutenant Liu, who is responsible for managing the affairs of Fujing, I went to Lieutenant Liu's mansion two days ago, and Lieutenant Liu has promised that if I can get the top ten at the graduation ceremony of the Martial Arts Academy next month, he will promise to do me a small favor. ”
When Jiang Xuan heard this, his face changed suddenly.
"You should understand what I mean, right? You can still resist now, but what about when a letter from the government comes down?
"If you know each other, I can hand it over by myself, I can still not worry about you, otherwise I will offend my Li family, not only will you not be able to keep the house, but I am afraid that your future life will be quite bleak!"
Li Kun made his words clear, and the threat was undisguised, and when Jiang Xuan heard this, the anger in his heart soared.
Collusion between officials and businessmen has existed since ancient times!
I didn't expect this to happen to me today!
His heart was extremely angry, but Jiang Xuan still quickly calmed down.
It is an indisputable fact that the other party is wealthy, and what he wants to think about is how to keep his grandfather's house.
"The top ten in the graduation ceremony will be eligible for the entry assessment of the Star Picking Sect. And if you step into the Star Picking Sect, even the government will not dare to offend, as long as I also achieve the top ten results, I don't believe that Lieutenant Liu, I will help you with this little favor!"
"Don't be stupid, although you are the descendant of the Li family, but your eldest brother is the eldest son, then Lieutenant Liu will not do much for you. Your desire to get your father's approval by buying my ancestral house is doomed to fail!"
Jiang Xuan said quickly, every sentence was like a knife, hitting the point.
Li Kun's thoughts in his heart were exposed, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
He so enthusiastically interfered in the acquisition of the Jiang family's ancestral mansion in order to get his father's approval.
The Jiang family's ancestral home is located in a downtown area, and the Li family plans to build a bustling street in that area.
But the Jiang family, who was stuck in the critical position, refused to give up, which brought the whole project to a halt.
Li Kun's father, Li Zhenyue, had a headache about this, but it was not easy to do anything under his own identity.
Li Kun sniffed out the opportunity to win his father's approval, so he wanted to force Jiang Xuan to comply.
"Just because you also want to get the top ten in the ceremony, it's a fool's dream!"
Li Kun came back to his senses, and a chill surged in his eyes.
"The graduation ceremony is not the same as the usual martial arts academy assessment! Usually, the famous families are too lazy to compete with poor children like you, for fear of falling prices, but the graduation ceremony is different, at that time, all the famous families in the martial arts academy will go all out, think about the resources and advantages we have, you, the so-called top student, will only become a foil!"
Li Kunman was disdainful.
"Whether it's a foil or not, I'll know when the time comes, and I'll definitely beat you at the graduation ceremony!"
Jiang Xuan was categorical, and his belief in his heart was unshakable.
Li Kun's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and it seemed that the trick of intimidation would not work.
It is impossible for him to really make a move on Jiang Xuan here, otherwise the matter will spread and tarnish the reputation of his Li family, not only will he not be able to get his father's approval, but he will be severely punished.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I want to see how you struggle, and when the graduation ceremony comes, I will definitely beat you like a dead dog! And when I finish in the top ten, you and your grandfather will be ready to roll up and leave! At that time, the compensation promised by my Li family will not be so good!"
Li Kun put down the cruel words, then turned around and waved his hand, leaving with a group of thugs from the Li family.
Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had not done anything drastic, and at the same time, his face was calm.
He has been cornered by the other party, and only by achieving good results at that graduation ceremony can he avoid bad things from happening.
Top 10 in the Graduation Ceremony!
He's got to break in!
Can't let grandpa's ancestral home be taken away!
Jiang Xuan clenched his fists and swore secretly.
