Chapter 212: Father's Will

In the "Agarwood Courtyard", Xiao Juxian and Su Jia are competing in martial arts......

The other disciples of Xiaojia Villa could only wait outside the "Agarwood Courtyard" and quietly wait for the results of the martial arts competition inside. From time to time, there was the sound of ghost swords roaring and the sound of sword rain of the Xiao family's swordsmanship, Xiao Tian was also at ease outside, but he was so anxious that he couldn't see anything inside......

Finally, after a while, the sound of the competition inside stopped...... The people outside also knew that the competition was over, and all the disciples' eyes were on the door of the "Agarwood Academy", but they didn't see Xiao Juxian or Su Jia coming out of it for a long time.

The inside of the "Agarwood Courtyard" suddenly became very quiet, and the disciples of Xiaojia Villa made noisy noises from time to time outside, even if Xiao Juxian said something to Su Jia in the courtyard, the people outside couldn't hear it clearly......

After the sound of the contest stopped, about the time of the two pillars of incense, the gate of the "Agarwood Temple" finally moved......

"Squeak-" The door opened, and Xiao Juxian was the first to come out.

"Master......" Xiao Bo replied softly.

Xiao Juxian had a serious expression on his face, as if he was thoughtful, and then he didn't look at the disciples around him, and walked straight in the direction of the main hall. After walking a few steps, Xiao Juxian stopped first, and then turned his back to all the disciples and said, "Abo, Aqi, Azhu and Xuecui, you go to the hall with me, and I will arrange for you to go to Lingguan City to retrieve the tokens in the gang later......"

Seeing Xiao Juxian come out, he didn't say anything about the competition with Su Jia just now, but directly mentioned going to Lingguan City tomorrow. Xiao Bo and the others were also slightly puzzled. And Su Jia hadn't come out at this time, and Xiao Tian, who was standing closest to the courtyard gate just now, couldn't let go.

"Yes—" Xiao Bo, Xiao Qi, Xiao Zhu, and Xue Cui agreed in unison, and then slowly followed their master, Xiao Juxian. Walk in the direction of the main hall.

Finally, Su Jia also slowly walked out of the "Agarwood Courtyard" at this time. It's just that Su Jia's expression was slightly solemn, as if she knew some incredible truth, and her eyes were a little erratic.

Seeing that Su Jia finally came out, Xiao Tian immediately stepped forward and said, "Jia'er, were you okay inside just now?"

Su Jia glanced at Xiao Tian. The whole person trembled slightly, as if he had another kind of gaze at Xiao Tian. Su Jia eased up, but shook her head lightly and said, "I'm fine." Ah Tian ......"

"Jia'er, what was the result of the duel between you and Master just now?" Xiao Tian asked anxiously again, "Also, Master said that he wanted to talk to you, what did he tell you?"

Su Jia listened to Xiao Tian's question. The whole person still couldn't help but be stunned. Then she turned her head to look at Xiao Tian, who didn't know anything, and said slowly: "Senior Xiao is actually talking about you......

"My business?" Xiao Tian was even more puzzled, he couldn't help but feel that he was the only one who was kept in the dark now, and he didn't know anything.

Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian with confused eyes again, pursed her lips slightly, and then said softly: "Ah Tian, you really ...... It's really ......" Su Jia seems to have heard what Xiao Juxian said in the "Agarwood Courtyard" just now. understood everything that Xiao Juxian, as a master, did to Xiao Tian.

"Really, Jia'er, what the hell are you trying to say. What did Master tell you just now?" Xiao Tian still asked anxiously.

Su Jia thought for a while, shook her head slightly, and then said, "Forget it, I'll tell you later...... Just now in the 'Agarwood Courtyard', I told Senior Xiao about what I experienced in Lingguan City yesterday, and tomorrow is the day to go to Lingguan City to pick up the token of Xiaojia Villa 'Bai Ling Fengjin', and now Senior Xiao should be in a hurry to go back to the hall to arrange the task of picking up things for the disciples in the Villa......"

"Lingguan City, Xiao Wuzhong, Mengyuan Imperial Court, Wang Dasheng ......" Xiao Tian muttered softly, there seemed to be something in his heart, and then said, "No, I'm going to ask Master for instructions, and I'm going to Lingguan City tomorrow—"

"What?" As soon as Su Jia heard Xiao Tian say that he was going to Lingguan City, he immediately stopped him, "No, Ah Tian, Lingguan City is too dangerous, if you go......" Su Jia still thought of the duel between herself and Wang Dasheng yesterday, and still had palpitations.

"But Abo and they are all gone, and I can't just watch them take ......risks," Xiao Tian continued, "And Xiao Wuzhong, like Tang Tianhui and Chen Shijin back then, betrayed his master, and as a disciple of Xiao Family Villa, I can't sit idly by......"

Xiao Tian's eyes were very firm, and Su Jia saw it in his eyes, and seemed to understand Xiao Tian's thoughts at this time. "Ah Tian......" Su Jia, who knew the truth from Xiao Juxian's mouth, was also full of contradictions in her heart, and she had been hesitating to tell Xiao Tian about it.

Xiao Tian didn't say anything, and followed Xiao Bo and them up the stairs in three or two steps, preparing to enter the main hall with Master Xiao Juxian.

However, Xiao Juxian saw that Xiao Tian was also following, so he immediately turned his head and said solemnly: "What are you doing with it?"

Xiao Tian was stunned, and then responded: "Master, you are going to send Abo and them to Lingguan City, right?

Xiao Tianmao recommended himself, and Xiao Qi and Xuecui on the side were naturally willing. However, Xiao Juxian's serious eyes seemed to be like a "dead token", which could kill everything. I only heard Xiao Juxian say in a serious tone: "I said, Ah Tian, you are no longer a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, and I have no obligation to arrange tasks for you in the villa anymore, and you don't need to ask me to send you and Ah Bo and them together." ”

As soon as Xiao Juxian's words came out, Xiao Tian was like a thunderbolt from the sky. But Xiao Tian's heart was very resolute at this time, Su Jia almost died in Lingguan City, Xiao Wuzhong, a disciple of the Xiao family, betrayed his master, and Xiao Tian felt that he couldn't care about it. However, Master Xiao Juxian's refusal completely "suppressed" Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian finally couldn't help it, and he confronted his master loudly, "weishenme." Master Weishenme, you are always targeting me? It turns out that I am indeed not serious in Xiaojia Villa, Master, you taught me to beat and scold me, and I have no complaints. After you kicked me out of the villa, I have been working hard, thinking that one day I can return to the villa and contribute to the villa. Now I'm back. And it's a lot better than before, but Master Weishenme, you still don't accept me, if I do something wrong, Master, you can bring it up or beat and scold me like I used to. I can correct it slowly, but now Master, you are directly ignoring me and ignoring me, I want to know what is this?"

If it was in the past, Xiao Juxian would definitely be strict. But although Xiao Juxian's expression was serious at this time, he did not immediately echo and refute. On the contrary, Xiao Juxian was silent opposite Xiao Tian for a long time, looking at Xiao Tian with a rare excitement. Xiao Juxian just looked at Xiao Tian quietly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I don't want to say more, since I said that I will no longer recognize Ah Tian, you are a disciple of Xiaojia Villa." You're no longer ...... But if you want to accompany Abo and them, I can't stop you, so if you want to go, you can go......"

After speaking, Xiao Juxian deliberately glanced at Su Jia behind Xiao Tian. Then he turned around. He didn't look at Xiao Tian again, and walked straight towards the main hall. And Xiao Bo and the others behind Xiao Juxian, after listening to the conversation between Xiao Juxian and Xiao Tian, couldn't help but feel that their master was too ruthless. But they didn't dare to say anything in front of the master, and they just glanced at Xiao Tian with pity.

And Xiao Tian, who was in the same place, suddenly felt that he was being snubbed by his master. He will never be a disciple of Xiao Family Villa anymore, which is absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Tian. His original dream has always been to learn and succeed, and then return to Xiaojia Villa. Contribute to the villa. But with a rejection from his master, this ideal will never be realized. The ideals of life are ruthlessly stifled. Not to mention Xiao Tian, it is difficult for everyone to accept. At this moment, Xiao Tian even felt a trace of despair about life, he was a man, and in the face of the reality that his ideals could never be realized, the corners of his eyes slowly turned red......

Su Jia had been standing behind Xiao Tian, and when she saw Xiao Tian's words and deeds just now, she herself was also very painful. After a long time, Su Jia slowly walked to Xiao Tian's side, and then said softly: "It seems that it's time to tell Ah Tian about it......"

When Xiao Tian heard Su Jia's sudden words, he retracted some of his sadness, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Just now in the 'Agarwood Courtyard', some things your master told me......" Su Jia said slowly, "He actually didn't know how to tell Ah Tian about this matter, and he didn't plan to say it." It wasn't until yesterday that he learned about Xiao Wuzhong's betrayal of his master and defection to the Mengyuan Imperial Court that he had no intention of telling you. But he didn't know how to talk to you, so he told me about it first, and wanted me, who knew your thoughts, to convey the words to you......"

After hearing this, Xiao Tian seemed to have some hope again, so he continued to ask, "Then what does Master want to say?"

Su Jia looked around, and then said softly: "There are too many people here, Senior Xiao told me not to tell other Xiao family disciples about this matter, let's go to Ah Tian's backyard, I have to talk to you slowly......"

So, Su Jia took the lead and walked in the direction of Xiao Tian's backyard. Xiao Tian's heart was also full of curiosity and doubts, but when he saw a series of strange words and deeds of his masters Xiao Juxian and Su Jia today, he decided to follow......

Finally arrived at the backyard of Xiao Tian's house - this is the jade green tree, which is also the place of his father's mound......

There were only two people left here, Xiao Tian and Su Jia, who were eager to know the truth, asked anxiously: "There is no one else here, now you can say, Jia'er, master, what is he ...... What did you say to Jia'er, and what did Master want to tell me?"

Su Jia paused for a moment, and then said, "Ah Tian, I know, you have always been very confused, weishenme your master has always refused to recognize you as a disciple of the Xiao family, right?"

Xiao Tian nodded and followed, "Yes, is the master really biased against me?"

Su Jia shook her head, and then said, "No, Senior Xiao actually cares about you very much, but he doesn't know how to tell you...... The result of the contest just now was that I won, so Senior Xiao trusts me very much and hopes that I will convey his meaning to you......"

"Jia'er, you won-" Hearing that Su Jia had defeated his master, who was one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts today, Xiao Tian was happy at first, and then asked, "Then what is the master weishenme, weishenme is like this to me?"

Su Jia paused, and then said: "Your master had two close friends during his lifetime, one was the predecessor of the former head Xiao Rencong, and the other was Ah Tian your father Xiao Zhen. You know that. is also a close friend of Xiao Juxian's predecessors, and his sons Xiao Wuzhong and Ah Tian are also disciples of Xiaojia Villa. ”

"I know this, so what?" Xiao Tian asked again.

Su Jia continued: "Different people do have different destinies congenitally. is also a close friend, Xiao Wuzhong is the son of the previous head, and Ah Tian, your father is just a tree craftsman. Ah Tian, your father and Xiao Wuzhong's father, Xiao Rencong, both instructed your master Xiao Juxian's predecessors before his death, so that Xiao Juxian's predecessors can educate Ah Tian and Xiao Wuzhong well in the future...... Ah Tian, you and Xiao Wuzhong have the same desire, and they both hope to contribute to Xiaojia Villa in the future. Xiao Wuzhong is much older than Ah Tian, so Xiao Juxian's predecessors first taught Xiao Wuzhong. Xiao Wuzhong has an inspirational desire to contribute to the villa. Xiao Juxian's predecessors used to be very pleased, so they have always educated him by hand. But what Xiao Juxian's predecessors didn't expect was that they blindly connived at Xiao Wuzhong. Xiao Wuzhong's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and he only thinks about becoming the head of Xiaojia Villa and how to 'carry forward' Xiaojia Villa, thus ignoring the essence of the development of the villa. So much so that now. Xiao Wuzhong did whatever it took to become the head of Xiaojia Villa. even went against the will of the people and wanted to take refuge in the Mengyuan court......"

Xiao Tian has been listening quietly, Su Jia didn't say a word, Xiao Tian seemed to have an understanding.

Su Jia didn't stop and said, "After that, it's to educate Ah Tian...... Ah Tian, in fact, your father doesn't know martial arts, and he is not a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, but he is a very far-sighted person. Your father's instructions before his death are not only to let Xiao Juxian's predecessors educate you well, but your father hopes that your master will cultivate you into a person who has a heart for the common people and a heart for the world......"

"The heart is parasitic to the people, and the world is in mind?" Xiao Tian himself not only muttered.

"Yes—" Sujia continued. "Xiao Tian, you have always just wanted to work hard for the Xiao Family Villa, but you rarely set your sights further. You are actually the same as Xiao Wuzhong back then. Your master, Xiao Juxian, also saw this, so he wanted to change you in another way. He wants to follow your father's wish before his death and train you to be a man who has the world in mind and stands up to the sky, which is what will distinguish you from Xiao Wuzhong. You blindly only want to do it for the sake of Xiaojia Villa, and Xiao Juxian's predecessors are afraid that you will follow in Xiao Wuzhong's footsteps, so they ruthlessly drive you out of Xiaojia Villa. On the surface, your master drove you away because he was prejudiced against you, but in fact, he wanted you to really go to the world to experience and experience, get out of the Xiaojia Villa, and truly have a heart for the common people and the world, everything he did was really for the good of Ah Tian, which is exactly what your father meant when he was alive......"

Su Jia finished talking about all the reasons in a row, and after Xiao Tian heard it, he couldn't help but squeeze out a few tears from the corners of his eyes. Now that Su Jia said it, Xiao Tiancai finally understood what his master had done, and his master Weishenme respected his father who didn't even know martial arts before his death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian looked back at the "Jade Green Tree", the tree planted by his father before his death, and changed a lot of his original thoughts in his heart.

"That's all I can say...... Su Jia said, "Except for Senior Xiao and me, the only people who know the truth about this matter are your Senior Brother Xiao Bo and your mother." That's why a year ago, your mother kicked you out of the house because of her cruelty...... The reason why your master didn't tell you the truth about this matter before was because he was afraid that after you knew the truth, she would lose her determination to train herself outside......"

Xiao Tian knew all the truth, and his heart suddenly felt a lot of feelings. It turned out that all the "prejudices" that his master had against him were all for himself. It's the same now, the reason why Master is still driving himself away is because he hasn't done enough. And the reason why Xiao Juxian wants to convey the truth now is because Xiao Wuzhong's defection to the Mengyuan Imperial Court is also time for Xiao Tian to know the truth. But it's not convenient to say it yourself, so I can only let Su Jia, who has always understood Xiao Tian's thoughts, pass the word.

Xiao Tian looked down at his hands, his two hands shook slightly, thinking about his experience in the past eighteen years, it was not his master who was really prejudiced against people, but himself.

Then, Xiao Tian slowly leaned in the direction of the "Jade Green Tree", as if he had something to say to his father in Huangquan, after all, all of this was his father's expectation for himself as a son...... (To be continued......)
