Chapter 19: Shock
Fragrant and soft, suffocating.
Qiu Liluo, who was buried between the two snow-white mountain peaks, hurriedly raised his hand to push away Concubine Ya, a touch of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Miss Concubine Ya, the relationship between us seems to be less than this level, right?"
"But I think that's enough. Concubine Ya smiled lightly, walked to the side and sat down, and said, "The agreement between the Xiao family and the Mitre auction house is still for the sake of Mrs. Xiao's face, so you refused to provide medicinal materials to the Galie family, I don't know if this is a kind of closer relationship?"
"My face?" Qiu Liluo's eyelids raised slightly, it seemed that he had received some news from the Yunlan Sect.
Although the Mitre Auction House is weak, it can be regarded as a hegemon in the Galie Empire, and it has the protection of the Dou Huang, and the Ice Emperor who is hiding also has an unusual relationship with them.
"Not bad. Concubine Ya nodded slightly.
"In that case. A smile appeared at the corner of Qiu Liluo's mouth, and said: "Then bother the Mitre Auction House, take care of the Xiao family more on weekdays, and the resources can also be appropriately tilted, what does Miss Yafei think?"
Concubine Ya's eyes sank slightly, her face was still full of smiles, and she said, "Mrs. Xiao, this joke can't be made, the Mitre auction house has always been neutral, if you rashly take sides, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on the auction house." ”
"No, you're already partial. Qiu Liluo got up from the chair, walked in front of Concubine Ya, leaned over and said, "Miss Concubine Ya, I believe that you still have the family behind you, I'm afraid you have already made a decision, after all, this is a rare opportunity for you." ”
After speaking, Qiu Liluo walked out with a chuckle, not giving Concubine Ya a chance to speak.
With the support of the Mitre Auction House, the Xiao family does not have to worry too much about the development of the Gamma Empire in the future, which can be regarded as reducing Xiao Yan's worries.
When I returned to Xiao's house from the auction house, it was already nightfall, and according to the habit of the past, Qiu Liluo chose to drink tea in the courtyard until the middle of the night when the wind was cold, and then returned to the room.
The affairs of the Xiao family are preliminarily over, and there is nothing to do in the autumn, and what we have to wait for now is only the arrival of the coming-of-age ceremony.
After counting the time, it was less than five days.
In the early morning of this day, Qiu Liluo got up early, and the arrival of the coming-of-age ceremony was still more important.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Qiu Liluo looked at the familiar and unfamiliar woman in the bronze mirror blankly, because of this body, she couldn't remember her original appearance anymore.
Autumn Liluo is a little emotional, time is enough to wipe out everything, and many memories of the previous life are already a little blurry, like looking at another person's life.
Hiding his emotions, he walked out of the door, came to the Xiao family's martial arts arena, walked to Xiao Zhan and sat down, looking at the many Xiao family children below, a smile appeared in the corner of Qiu Liluo's eyes.
These will be the foundation of Xiao Yan, the cornerstone of reproducing the glory of the ancient eight clans, and in a few years, the Xiao family will be famous throughout the continent.
Although Qiu Liluo did not sit on the main seat, the eyes of the children of the Xiao family almost crossed the three elders and Xiao Zhan and fell on him, their eyes full of heat and worship.
This is the hope of the Xiao family's rise, and he is the first person in the Gama Empire, a few days ago, he forced the Yunlan Sect to bow his head and send half of the essence, not daring to have a trace of complaints!
Originally, because Xiao Yan had become a waste, and the opinions about Qiu Liluo and Xiao Zhan had all disappeared, but now Qiu Liluo completely shocked them with his strength and convinced them.
Xiao Zhan stood up, looked around at the martial arts arena that gradually quieted down, and shouted in a condensed voice: "You are all fresh blood of the family, you all know how important today's test is, those who have seven or more levels of fighting qi are qualified, otherwise, they are not qualified, those who are not qualified, have a chance to challenge their peers above seven ranks, and the winner can also pass." ”
At the same time, the Great Elder also took out a roster from the storage ring, handed it to the guards, and handed it to the testers next to the black stone tablet.
"Test begins!"
With the deep shouts of the Great Elder, the boys and girls in the martial arts arena began to get nervous, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the test personnel.
Next to the black stone stele, the indifferent tester took a step forward, holding the roster, and his cold voice made the person whose name was called tremble.
Qiu Liluo's gaze was very calm, looking at each of the children of the family who was tested, looking for anyone who was worth cultivating, and the requirements were not too high, as long as they had the fourth stage of fighting spirit.
"Xiao He, the fifth stage of Dou Qi, level, low level!"
"Xiao Yi, Dou Qi Seventh Stage, Level, Advanced!"
“.....”
Looking at the disciples who had finished the test, Qiu Li was selected and chosen, and Xiao He was the only one.
Although Xiao He's qualifications are average, he is very good in his heart or affinity for the vitality of heaven and earth, although he is mediocre in this world, but in any world of cultivating immortals, he is a rare jade.
"It's a pity that all my exercises are specially prepared for women, but you can also try it. Qiu Liluo pondered for a while, and then made a decision in his heart, as for whether there would be any problems after the Xuannu True Scripture was handed over to a man to refine, it was hard to say.
Just when Qiu Liluo was struggling with whether to follow his previous idea and let Garebi practice the Xuannu Sutra, the tester spoke again.
On the black stele, strong light burst out, and the upright huge font was suspended on the surface of the stele.
"Xiao Mei, Dou Qi Eighth Stage, Level, Advanced!" Glancing at the black stone tablet, the tester nodded and spoke slowly.
The voice of the tester fell, Xiao Mei was obviously relieved, and pride rose on her face, making Qiu Liluo frown slightly.
Xiao Mei's qualifications are not bad, but her temperament is not very good, and she still needs to be polished, so she is not the first choice, so she was excluded.
"Xiao Yan!"
As soon as the tester's voice blurted out, some of the voices began to be heard, but it was not as unpleasant as before, and most of them were skeptical.
Only some small families who came to watch the ceremony, the words in their mouths were not very good, they didn't stop taking a bite of waste, and when they talked about some places, they even laughed, and regarded Xiao Yan as their capital to talk and laugh.
"Mole ants. Qiu Liluo glanced at them lightly, and then set his eyes on Xiao Yan on the stage.
On the high platform, all the family leaders stopped talking in a low voice, and their eyes converged on the son of the strongest man of the Xiao family.
Under the gaze of everyone in the field, Xiao Yan walked to the black stone tablet and raised his hand to press it.
Fighter, two stars!
Looking at the four big golden characters on the black stone stele, there was a sudden silence in the martial arts arena, followed by a gasping voice, and everyone's expressions froze at this moment.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, two-star fighter!"
The testers, who were deeply shocked, looked at the four golden characters, gasped a few times before relieving themselves and shouted loudly.
