Qian Yu worked hard and finally arrived at Xia's house with Qianqiong. The grandeur and luxury of the Xia family's mansion are by no means comparable to his family of thousands and thousands. However, the sect is not as orderly as imagined, and even a little chaotic. You can clearly feel the scattered atmosphere.

At that time, the head of the Xia family was no longer Xia Yan, but Xia Huan. Xia Huan is a man of wine and meat. He has been on the throne for almost eight years, and in the past eight years, he has been slack in cultivation and lazy in management, holding the treasure of the Xia family, sitting and eating empty. Xia Lang slandered and sacrificed, coaxing him physically and mentally happy and lawless.

Qianyu and Qianqiong sent people under the fence and did not get too much kindness. It's just because of the title of Sword Saint Qianfeng that he helped his orphans. And because Xia Yan's death of Ling Chi was insulting to the sect, the disciples of the Xia family also had some dislike for the son of a friend who insulted the former head of the sect.

The two settled in the Xia family, so they changed the surnames of the Xia family and became Xia Yu and Xia Qiong. The two went to the Jade Gate to cultivate, and they depended on each other for their lives, although the days were cool and not bitter, after all, the Xia family had a rich background, and the disciples' food and clothing were always good.

spent five years in the Xia family peacefully, and the relationship between the two teenagers became more and more harmonious. Xia Qiong has a high level of talent, and it is not a problem to learn swordsmanship formations, which is quite appreciated by the teacher of Yumen, and also attracts the envy of many classmates, and slowly his heart is higher. On the other hand, Xia Yu, as the son of the Sword Saint Qianfeng, is not so good. With mediocre qualifications, he is often ignored, and Mu Mu's appearance makes people want to bully.

Sometimes he was maliciously targeted and didn't know it, Xia Qiong drove away the bully for him, and turned his head to blame him for being too simple. Xia Yu slowly lowered his head, faceless to face the boy who once needed his protection.

This kind of thing happened repeatedly, and Xia Yu tried his best to reduce his sense of existence. And Xia Qiong's outstanding performance made him high-spirited, full of confidence wherever he went, and was the focus of everyone. He turned his head to look at Xia Yu who was hiding in the corner, but a sense of superiority rose in his heart while being pitiful.

Once in Qianjia, Qianyu was the existence of the stars holding the moon, and he Qianqiong was just an unpopular relative. Now that their positions were reversed, he felt that it was a bad feeling.

Gradually, he looked down on this ordinary cousin.

Although Xia Yu was a little wooden, he knew Xia Qiong's thoughts well. Now Xia Qiong is in full swing, and he is just a nobody, he can't affect Xia Qiong's future.

The two were estranged, intentionally or unintentionally, tacitly.

Once, Xia Yu was pushed to the lake and beaten up because he accidentally interfered with a senior brother's moves. That senior brother is notoriously tyrannical and has a very deep kung fu, and people usually take a detour when they see him.

Coincidentally, Xia Qiong and a group of people passed by and encountered this scene. He paused, hesitating. The people around him persuaded him to leave quickly, not to be angry. He was pushed and pushed back, but his pace was restrained by Xia Yu's gaze. He gritted his teeth, secretly recited the trick, and came up with a formation to sneak attack the irascible senior brother, pushing him into the river, and taking this opportunity to save Xia Yu who was dying.

The irascible senior brother didn't know the nature of the water, and he was fluttering in the lake, and Xia Qiong's side face entered his eagle eyes when the water splashed, and then a dangerous light flashed under his eyes.

Xia Qiong took Xia Yu back to bed, Xia Yu lay on the bed in a daze, trembling and lying trembling until the second half of the night before regaining consciousness and waking up.

Xia Qiong frowned slightly, pouted slightly, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at him.

"Are you stupid? Aren't you going to fight back? Don't you know that they always do it to you because they see you as a bully?"

Xia Yu saw that he was angry and accused himself, instead of being angry, he apologized obediently: "I'm sorry." I know, I'll fight back next time. He stretched out his bruised hand and tugged at his sleeve, his eyes full of smiles.

He thought to himself, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Xia Qiong's excellence has made many people blush, and he can't let people use this to find trouble with Xia Qiong because of himself.

Xia Qiong and Xia Yu became close again, and the two were inseparable for a while, and Yumen changed. Xia Huan didn't know which doorman heard the saying of the three religions and nine streams, dividing people by class, absolute rank has absolute power. He thought to himself that he was the head of the Xia family, and such a rule was really in line with his supreme position, so he immediately implemented it. This is the beginning of the seven-color rank.

Yumen conducted a month-long placement test for 10,000 students. Xia Yu's qualifications are mediocre and he enrolled late, where is the opponent of those older senior brothers. The Purple Belt has the largest number of disciples, and he is one of them.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiong, who has always been touted, only ended up with a green belt. He is still young, and the former division commander valued him because he was a person with higher talent among his peers, but now that he is divided into ranks, he naturally can't compete with the accumulation of age. It's just that it's not so outstanding all of a sudden.

The restriction of rank has a great impact on the progress and intensity of cultivation, the strong are becoming more and more lean, and the weak are becoming more and more mediocre, and the polarization is serious.

As soon as Xia Qiong's aura faded and the absolute hierarchy system, the violent senior brother who was quite restrained in his work in the past naturally took strong and continuous revenge on Xia Qiong's previous actions.

Let's not say that Xia Qiong's strength is invincible, and besides, this rule is here, and he must not resist the senior brother of the orange belt. He has anger in his heart, but he has nowhere to vent.

Once, the brutal senior brother was in a bad mood, and rushed into Xia Qiong's bed with great strides, and dragged him out of the gate without saying much, and took him to the lake again. He never used spiritual power to deal with Xia Qiong, he was born with a broken palm, his strength was extremely great, and it was extremely painful to beat people. Xia Qiong was slapped with gold stars in her eyes, and her head was dizzy. He bit his lower lip so hard that he refused to make a sound, and his eyes were full of anger that wanted to burn him to death.

Seeing the disbelief in his eyes, the brutal senior brother raised his hand and rushed towards his chest with a palm full of spiritual power. didn't hit, and was replaced by Xia Yu who rushed over.

Xia Yu immediately spat a mouthful of blood on the arm of the brutal senior brother. The cruel senior brother let go in disgust, kicked the two of them to the ground, and pointed at Xia Qiong before leaving: "I will make you regret saving him! ”

Xia Yu covered his chest, regardless of his injury, he went to see Xia Qiong first. Xia Qiong gritted her teeth, and the wetness in her eyes just refused to flow. Xia Yu was even more worried when he saw that he didn't say a word, and he comforted: "If you want to cry, cry out, I will protect you." ”

Xia Qiong suddenly had an indifferent and cruel look at her, and shouted hysterically: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could I be bullied by that kind of scum! Just you, still protect me? Get away!" He pushed Xia Yu away and stumbled away.

Xia Yu lowered his head weakly, tears snapped and stayed, he secretly clenched his fists, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were firm. He was determined to make himself strong in order to protect Xia Qiong.

He practiced without sleeping or eating, and if he couldn't enter the cultivation ground during the day, he would go again at night; if he couldn't go up the Ten Thousand Swords Tower, he would sneak in. He firmly believes and is determined that only when he becomes strong can he and Xia Qiong be safe and reconciled.

A year later, he took part in the reconstitution for the first time with the sword his father had left him. The reorganization was regraded once in June, and it was a good opportunity for him.

Reorganization matches have always been divided into two levels, and this time the first level is to go to the cave to get the lantern for the light. It doesn't sound difficult, but under every light there are many mechanisms, once touched, the danger is unimaginable, and out of 10,000 contestants, only 5,000 lights are available. This means that half of the people will be swiped in the first level, in other words, as long as you successfully obtain the light, you will be able to reach the level above the green belt.

This is undoubtedly heart-warming and urgent.

Xia Yu has been following Xia Qiong's movements since the beginning of the competition. Strangely, he kept clutching his arm. He wanted to come forward to ask, but as soon as the exam began, the people dispersed, and Xia Qiong disappeared from his sight.

He focused on the exam and didn't think too much about it for the time being. About an hour later, he met Xia Qiong in a cave to the north.

At that time, Xia Qiong held a sword in his left hand and fought alone against the bats in the dense cave. These bats are bloodthirsty, and when they pass by him, they will gnaw on his flesh, wave after wave, without stopping. Xia Qiong's qi and blood were lost, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted, so he stuck his sword in the soil and couldn't stand on his knees.

But these bloodthirsty bats have no humanity and will not feel pity because the other party is not against them. Their attacks continue and grow stronger.

Xia Qiong lowered his head and almost gave up, but he didn't expect that someone would stand in front of him and kill all those bloodthirsty bats for him.

"Who?" he asked.

Xia Yu turned his head, with a smiling face, and greeted him: "It's me, I'm here, Qianqiong." ”

Xia Qiong looked at the bloodthirsty bat that fell to the ground behind Xia Yu in astonishment, and her hands were steady and ruthless, each of which was a one-hit hit. "Xia Yu, how could you? "How could he suddenly be so strong.

Xia Yu was still smiling, although the light in the gray cave was unclear and the mud stains on his face could not be seen, but he was holding the Wanchao Sword and smiling brightly.

Xia Qiong turned around and asked, "Minglantern, did you get it?"

Xia Yu slowly lowered her head with a disappointed look. Xia Qiong sighed unexpectedly, but who knew that Xia Yu suddenly raised her head again, and took out a bright lamp from behind her with a smile.

Xia Qiong stared at the weak flame in disbelief, and the simple smiling face reflected by the firelight. A hint of jealousy rose in his heart.

"I've got it, and if we take this one again, we'll be able to qualify. Xia Yu rushed to the wall and reached for the lamp.

Suddenly, a little red light appeared in the depths of the cave, and Xia Qiong instantly understood what it was. Thousands of bloodthirsty bats waited for the opportunity to move, fluttering their sharp wings but attacking without moving. Xia Qiong's eyes turned to Xia Yu again, Xia Yu had no distractions, and put her feet on her feet to reach the unpicked lamp.

At this moment, the drum that heralds the end of the exam sounds, and after seven sounds, the exam will officially end.

Judging by the number of bloodthirsty bats and the range of their attacks, it was impossible for the two of them to take down all the bats in seven drum beats.

At that moment, Xia Qiong's thousands of thoughts surged together. The memory goes back to the day he first entered the Thousand Family. The eyes of the maids of the thousands of families looked at him, which used to be an eternal pain in his heart. Qianyu's gestures and concern for him were overshadowed by those eyes.

He knew that his father hadn't done anything wrong, just because he was a man without spiritual powers. And Qianjia is especially interested in ability. Those who can't cultivate, the ruthless Thousand Families will not stay. The reasons he had made up for his father were nonsense, but the family was still hurt by the nonsense.

And he, even if he is more talented than Qian Yu, he will be buried behind Qian Yu forever because of his father. He even rejoiced more than once that the Thousand Families were wiped out.

The drums beat three times, and he vaguely heard the laughter of the brutal brother passing by the cave door. He stroked the stick wound on his arm, which was left by the scumbag himself! In order to prevent him from advancing and not giving him a chance to resist.

He's had enough!

"Qianqiong, you come and help me, I can't reach it. Xia Yu looked at Xia Qiong.

Xia Qiong, who was facing away from the light outside the cave, slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of coldness, and his eyes were even dyed with scarlet light, he curled his lips evilly and looked at Xia Yu.

The gaze was unfamiliar, as if it were another person.

Xia Yu didn't know what decision Qianqiong made in that second of stagnation. As he walked slowly towards him, he suddenly remembered the destruction of his entire family, and approached him like a demon slaughtering him.
