Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dragon Among Men
"That's right, now that my father is seriously ill, you and I must support my Xue family's lineage, and I have no choice but to do so, otherwise I don't want to delay my brother's cultivation. Xue Yu couldn't help but look at Xue Yun with a little apology and said in a deep voice.
"And if you have no choice but to do so, you can only let your younger brother send away the third uncle and the fourth uncle with your own hands, as for the younger brothers, you don't have to worry, for them, as long as our Xue family can give them a steady stream of resources, it doesn't matter to them who the head of the Xue family is, they have long been unable to help each other. Speaking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Xue Yu's eyes.
Xue Yun couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this, although he hadn't killed anyone, but the people of the same clan, he really couldn't do it, but thinking that the third uncle and the fourth uncle actually wanted to seize the position of the Xue family's descendants while his father was seriously ill, he could only nod in silence.
Three days later, Xue Yun and Xue Yu inspected their own shops in Jibei City together, from the money village to the grocery store to the spiritual weapon shop serving the cultivators, the Fu Gong shop, like a marquee, walked by one by one, there were many shopkeepers who watched the two brothers grow up, some were as affectionate as before, and some were like people walking away from tea.
Seeing this change in his eyes, Xue Yun couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, this mortal world is as impersonal as the cultivation realm, but the weak and the strong are hidden in people's hearts, and they are not as cold-blooded and cruel as the cultivation realm.
At night, the breeze was blowing, bringing a slight chill, Xue Yun and Xue Yu sat in a painting boat, slowly cruising on the Jibei River that runs through the city of Jibei. Although Xue Yu has not changed much in recent years, in Xue Yun's opinion, there is a sense of gloom and vicissitudes. Xue Yun didn't know if his brother was old or tired, he had only cultivated and cultivated again in the past few years, and he did have a little less care for his family, and now when he saw his brother like this, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, just handed Xue Yu a glass of warm wine.
Xue Yu turned out to be a wine glass, although it was silent, but the meaning of care between the brothers was silent at this time, as if it was integrated into the wine, and as the brothers raised their glasses, they drank it all.
"There is no other way, tomorrow, we will personally send the third uncle and the fourth uncle away. Xue Yu drank wine, and a slightly hoarse voice came into Xue Yun's ears.
Xue Yun was still speechless and nodded silently.
"As for this matter, the cousins under the knees of the third uncle and the fourth uncle will let them leave home, especially Sister Wan'er, who is still young, and this matter has nothing to do with them. Xue Yu said, and drank several cups in a row.
"No, since you do it, don't leave one behind, this is what the master taught me, this is true for cultivation, and so is for mortals. Xue Yun was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke. Xue Yun's words couldn't help but make Xue Yu shiver, but then he sighed and nodded, and drank a large glass of wine.
Xue Yu looked at his younger brother, and unconsciously felt a little strange, but he also knew that his younger brother had grown up, but he still had a little bit of woman's kindness.
The next day, everyone in the Xue family gathered, and some of the old people in the family had already returned in the past few days, and more or less learned about the struggle between the descendants and the branches, and Xue Yun's father was the head of the family, and everything was handled by him, so naturally the descendants were powerful. But now that he is seriously ill, how can the branch not seize this opportunity.
"Fourth, is it true that none of the worshippers are willing to make a move?" said a middle-aged man in a red brocade robe to a man in a soap robe beside him.
"Third brother, I have tried all my might, but those worshippers are extremely rigid, and they have made up their minds not to help each other before my Xue family divides a result! But don't worry, I have already found some body refiners, above today's clan meeting, as long as the third brother sends your signal, they will rush up, and there is even a middle-level body refiner, which is equivalent to a mid-stage foundation building monk, this time Xue Yun's kid will definitely come and go!"
These two people are Xue Yun's third uncle and fourth uncle! Xue Yun's third uncle frowned when he heard this, and said: "The high-level body refiner in the family is unwilling to make a move, I can't imagine that the eldest brother is seriously ill and still has such an impact, this time he must succeed in one blow, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Fourth Uncle Xue Yun nodded slightly when he heard this: "I don't know what this group of people is, the higher the cultivation, the more timid they are, even this middle-level body refiner, I also spent a lot of money to invite it." ”
Third Uncle Xue Yun, after the red-robed man said a few more casual words, he and Fourth Uncle Xue Yun sat on the seat and waited.
About an hour later, there were already nearly 100 people in the Xue family hall, all of whom were important people of Xue Yun's identity, but there were only more than 30 people in the lineage, and the others were people from the branch who didn't know if they knew the news in advance or how, and almost all of them rushed here.
Seeing this scene, the people of the lineage couldn't help but change their faces slightly, but seeing that Xue Yu was still calm, they were slightly relieved.
"Since everyone has arrived, then I also made it clear that although my father is sick, those herbs have been found, and they can be delivered in a few days, and then everything will be as usual, and there is no need for the clan today, and the third and fourth uncles are inevitably a little anxious. Xue Yu stood up, looked at his third uncle and fourth uncle, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Big nephew, why do you have to be like this, that cold poison will attack every day, even if it is really delivered within a few days, but how can you ensure that the eldest brother can survive these few days?" The man in the red brocade robe couldn't help but sneer.
"Xue Hai, what are you talking about, you are rebellious! Are you cursing your eldest brother to death?" Hearing Xue Yun's third uncle's words, several old men from the lineage couldn't help but be furious, and shouted at the man in the red brocade robe.
"So far, the king has become a loser, you have come to this clan meeting today, and there is no return, do it!" The third uncle Xue Hai had no intention of concealing it, and then slammed the string of beads in his hand to the ground, and more than 30 body refiners rushed around in an instant, and the leader was a middle-aged strong man with a tiger's back.
Xue Yun, who was standing beside Xue Yu, immediately made a move, and the Qingxuan Sword rushed out in an instant, and under one roll, there were several low-level body refiners whose flesh and blood flew sideways, and those who died could no longer die.
The middle-aged strong man, seeing this, snorted coldly, and was ten zhang away from Xue Yun, he actually clenched his fist with his right hand, and smashed it out as if he was slowing down, Xue Yun's face changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly opened the Aoki Spirit Shield, and even sacrificed the one-yuan fan to turn into a small shield for protection.
I only heard a loud sound of "boom!", and the huge force instantly shattered the light shield of the small shield and the Aoki spirit shield, Xue Yun was instantly hit by the distance, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body exploded back more than ten steps before stopping, and said in a low voice: "Intermediate Body Refiner"
Xue Hai couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and was about to order the slaughter, when a coughing sound came, and then he heard a voice: "Since your branch wants the position of the lineage, just take it, I will wait for the lineage to move away, and I will not step into Jibei City half a step again!"
Xue Tao's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Xue Yun and Xue Yu's mother supporting Xue Yun's father and slowly walking into the hall.
Xue Hai didn't know why a hint of jealousy flashed on his face, and when he even signaled everyone to retreat, Xue Yun's father saw this, coughed and walked towards the injured Xue Yun: "Yun'er, the days are running out for my father, let's go, a good family together, and spend the last days with me." ”
Xue Yun looked at his father with a kind face, looked at the collapse of the one-yuan fan that he had just been hit by the great man's might, and sighed slightly: "In such an illusion, you also took great pains, and it took so long for me to regain my senses." ”
"Yun'er, what are you talking about, could it be that you were beaten stupid?" Seeing this, Xue Yun's mother hurriedly walked towards Xue Yun, her face full of worry, and there was no difference from the look of her mother in Xue Yun's memory.
"I've woken up, so why bother. Xue Yun sighed again, then took out the lifeless needle from the storage bracelet, and suddenly without hesitation, pierced the needle into his face!
When Xue Yun opened his eyes again, he was already in the ring, and in front of him was Bai Qingqing, a white-robed girl who was proficient in illusion!
"How did you see through it, all the scenes and characters of my Phantom Pupil Technique were taken from what you already had in your memory, and then I darkened my will to construct a specific scene, and when I entered it, you were the first person to come out!" the white-robed girl asked slowly with a calm face.
"At first, I didn't see through it, when your illusion technique was really good, even if I was a Dao Heart Qi cultivator, I was really deep in it, until my father said in the illusion that he would leave the Xue family with our family!"
"My Xue family boy, since he was born, he has recognized himself as a dragon among people, if he does not become a dragon, then he would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, how can he steal his life? If this really happens, my father will definitely not take half a step back even if he falls, even if he disappears!" Xue Yun said in a loud voice.
"I once thought that with this technique, I would definitely be able to win the championship in one fell swoop, but I am a dragon among people, even so, I have no regrets about losing to you!" Bai Qingqing chuckled, then turned around and explained to Lin Tong that he wanted to admit defeat.
Lin Tong looked at Xue Yun, his admiration was undisguised, and he said to Xue Yun: "Now you must have remembered everything, after the rest of the top three was over, you and this Bai Qingqing fought against each other, it was the first battle between the top three, I thought that you were shrouded in its illusion, and even replaced the previous memory, thinking that something happened in your family after you became the top three, but now, you are very good!"
When Xue Yun heard this, he bowed, and Lin Tong also said loudly at this time: "In the first battle of the top three, Xue Yun won!"
