Xiao Xuan turned his head.

Xiao Yu stood not far away, wearing a white dress, looking at him.

"Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Xuan stood up.

Xiao Yu walked over and looked at the medicinal residue on the ground.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Yu did not press further.

She looked at Xiao Xuan, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

"Xiao Xuan, don't put too much pressure on yourself about the family competition in three days."

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"It's okay if you don't pass," Xiao Yu said. "I'll plead with my grandfather and ask them not to make things too difficult for you."

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm fine," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Yu looked at him and thought he was just putting on a brave face.

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

She sighed.

"Come on, I'll practice with you."

Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Want to practice?"

"Hmm," Xiao Yu said, "I'll give you some pointers. Although last-minute cramming might not be useful, it's better than doing nothing."

Xiao Xuan looked at her, somewhat hesitant.

He is now at the level of a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor).

Although Xiao Yu has good talent, he is only at the Dou Zhe level.

The gap between the two is too large.

He was worried that he would lose control and end up hurting Xiao Yu.

"Sister Xiao Yu, isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Yu said. "I'm your cousin, it's only right that I guide you in your cultivation."

"But……"

"No buts," Xiao Yu interrupted him. "Come on."

She took a few steps back and assumed a fighting stance.

Xiao Xuan looked at her, somewhat helpless.

"Sister Xiao Yu, let's just forget about it."

"What? You look down on your cousin?" Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow.

"no."

"Then let's go," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Xuan took a deep breath.

I'm worried about hurting you.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.

Then I couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you hurt me?"

She looked at Xiao Xuan, her eyes full of smiles.

"Xiao Xuan, you're at the third level of Dou Qi, are you worried about hurting me? Don't worry."

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm telling the truth," Xiao Xuan said.

"Alright, alright." Xiao Yu waved her hand. "Don't worry, go ahead and attack. I can handle it."

Xiao Xuan looked at her and knew he couldn't refuse.

"Oh well."

He took a few steps forward and stood opposite Xiao Yu.

"You make the first move," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Xuan nodded.

He suppressed his strength.

Suppress the power of the Dou Huang to the minimum.

Then he struck out with his palm.

Before his palm even touched Xiao Yu, the wind from his palm had already arrived.

Xiao Yu's expression changed instantly.

She instinctively raised her hand to block.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Xiao Yu's body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.

Xiao Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly went over.

"Sister Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu lay on the ground, staring at him with wide eyes.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

How is that possible?

Her voice was trembling.

"Xiao Xuan...aren't you at the third stage of Dou Qi?"

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

He reached out and helped Xiao Yu up.

Xiao Yu leaned against him, a sharp pain shooting through her chest.

But she was too disregarding the pain to care.

She stared at Xiao Xuan, her eyes filled with shock.

The power of that palm strike just now was definitely not something that a third-stage Dou Qi could produce.

It's not even something a fighter could produce.

This is something that even a Battle Master can achieve.

The power of that palm strike was at least at the level of a Great Dou Master.

Even higher.

"Xiao Xuan, your strength..."

"Sister Xiao Yu, don't speak yet," Xiao Xuan said. "Let me give you some healing pills first."

He took out a healing pill from his storage ring and put it into Xiao Yu's mouth.

Xiao Yu swallowed the pill and felt the pain in her chest lessen somewhat.

But the shock in her heart did not diminish at all.

She looked at Xiao Xuan, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

This is Xiao Xuan, whom the entire Xiao family calls a piece of trash.

He had remained at the third level of Dou Qi for sixteen years.

Just now, a single palm strike severely injured her, a three-star Dou Zhe.

What exactly is their strength?

Xiao Xuan helped Xiao Yu walk towards the foot of the back mountain.

Xiao Yu leaned against him and didn't say anything more.

……

The Grand Elder's residence.

Xiao Ning entered the room and saw Xiao Yu lying on the bed, her face pale and looking seriously injured.

His expression changed instantly.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu saw him and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

"A minor injury?" Xiao Ning walked to the bedside, looking at Xiao Yu's pale face. "Who did this?"

"I've heard about it. It's that good-for-nothing Xiao Xuan, who only has three levels of Dou Qi?"

"Xiao Ning, we're all from the Xiao family, don't be so aggressive." Xiao Yu frowned.

"Sister, tell me clearly, what exactly happened?" Xiao Ning said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yu sighed.

"I was sparring with Xiao Xuan and accidentally got injured."

"careless?"

"Sis, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Xiao Yu did not speak.

"You're a three-star Dou Zhe, while that trash is only at the third level of Dou Qi," Xiao Ning said. "How could he possibly hurt you?"

"I told you it was an accident..."

"Sister, you're still defending him?" Xiao Ning interrupted her. "He must have used some despicable means, right?"

"It's not what you think..."

"What else could it be?" Xiao Ning said angrily. "That good-for-nothing, you even gave him pills, and this is how he repays you?"

Xiao Yu looked at her younger brother's angry expression and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.

She couldn't very well tell Xiao Ning that Xiao Xuan's strength wasn't at all at the third level of Dou Qi.

He severely injured her with a single palm strike, so he must be at least a Dou Shi or higher level, right?

Who would believe that if I told them that?

She still can't believe it.

"Don't worry, sister," Xiao Ning said. "I will definitely get justice for you in this matter."

"Don't do anything reckless," Xiao Yu said quickly.

Xiao Ning did not answer, and turned to walk out.

"Xiao Ning!"

Xiao Ning left the room without looking back.

As Xiao Yu watched his retreating figure, a sudden unease gripped her heart.

……

Xiao Ning arrived at Xiao Xuan's residence and kicked open the door.

Xiao Xuan was sitting on the bed when he saw him barge in, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiao Ning, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Xuan, how dare you ask me what I'm doing?" Xiao Ning pointed at him and said angrily.

Xiao Xuan looked at him without saying a word.

"I'm asking you, what happened to my sister's injury?"

"I got injured during the sparring match," Xiao Xuan said.

"Bullshit!" Xiao Ning cursed. "My sister is a three-star Dou Zhe. How could you, a piece of trash with only three-stage Dou Qi, possibly hurt her?"

Xiao Xuan's brows furrowed even more.

"You must have used some underhanded methods," Xiao Ning said. "You ambushed my sister when she wasn't paying attention, didn't you?"

"I didn't," Xiao Xuan said.

"Still dare to argue?" Xiao Ning sneered. "My sister kindly gave you the pills, and this is how you repay her?"

Xiao Xuan looked at him, his eyes growing colder and colder.

"Are you done talking?"

Xiao Ning was taken aback.

"Get out of here after you've finished speaking," Xiao Xuan said indifferently.

Xiao Ning's face instantly turned ashen.
