Next to the black stone tablet, the indifferent examiner took a step forward and took out the list of names from his arms. The cold voice made the person whose name was called shiver all over.
Sitting cross-legged on the clean bluestone floor, Xiao Yan looked coldly at his peers who were crying sadly because they failed to pass the Dou Qi test.
He curled his lips indifferently, without any sympathy in his heart.
Simply because those who like to laugh at those who are lower than themselves are not worthy of sympathy.
When they were seeking pleasure from tribesmen lower than themselves, they might not have thought that this day would come to them sooner or later.
Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated.
Xiao Xun'er sat quietly beside Xiao Yan, looking at the latter from time to time, as if there was no other person in her mind at all.
"Xiao Mei!"
At this time, the tester's voice sounded coldly.
Hearing the tester's shout, a young girl quickly ran out of the crowd. As soon as the girl appeared, the discussion nearby became much quieter, and pairs of slightly fiery eyes were firmly fixed on the girl's cheeks...
The girl was only about fourteen years old. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, her childish face was full of a hint of charm. The combination of purity and charm, a contradiction, made her the focus of the whole audience...
"Strength of Fighting: Eighth Stage!"
On top of the black stone tablet, strong light burst out, and large and correct fonts were suspended on the surface of the stone tablet.
"Xiao Mei: Fighting Strength, Level 8, Advanced!" Looking at the black stone tablet, the indifferent examiner nodded slightly and announced in a deep voice.
Hearing the tester's voice, Xiao Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and then a look of pride appeared on her little face.
In one year, she advanced from the seventh stage to the eighth stage. This progress was enough to rank her in the top five in the family. With such a remarkable achievement, it was no wonder that the girl was so satisfied.
After the tester's voice came out, it caused a commotion in the training ground, and envious eyes were directed towards Xiao Mei.
"I only improve one level a year. Compared with Brother Xiao Yan, I am far behind."
At this time, Xiao Xun'er suddenly leaned close to Xiao Yan's ear and said with a smile: "I wonder if she knew that you, Brother Xiao Yan, have been promoted from the third stage of Dou Qi to a seven-star Dou Zhe in one year, what attitude will she use to face Brother Xiao Yan in the future?"
Xiao Yan shrugged slightly and said softly: "Some things are destroyed, and they are destroyed. No matter how you repair them, there are still glaring cracks."
"There are not many people in this family that I can identify with, just a few..."
"Does Xun'er count?" Xun'er asked with a sweet smile, her rosy little lips raised in a playful arc.
Xiao Yan smiled warmly, stretched out his hand, pinched a strand of Xun'er's black hair with his fingers, and slid it down slowly, smiling: "Of course!"
Shui Ling's big eyes curved into a beautiful crescent moon, Xun Er's eyes were slightly blurred, and the picture that almost penetrated into the soul slowly appeared with a bit of warmth...
From a distance, Xiao Ning's face twitched as he watched Xiao Yan's affectionate behavior towards Xun'er. The flame of jealousy in his heart made him want to rush over and stomp hard on that poor face a few times.
"Xiao Xun'er!"
Not long after, it was Xiao Xun'er's turn to go on stage.
All eyes in the audience moved with the sound, and suddenly shifted to the spotless and pretty girl.
"Miss Xun'er, one-star fighter!"
Somewhat shocked by the four golden characters, the tester couldn't help but shake his head in wonder and shouted loudly.
"Oh my god, cousin Xun'er has actually reached the level of a one-star fighter!"
"Tsk tsk... a fifteen-year-old fighter... worthy of being Xun'er's cousin..."
"Xiao Yan!"
After a while, under the black stone tablet, the examiner called out the last vacancy with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it's your turn..." The girl softly said as her delicate little hand gently covered Xiao Yan's palm.
Raising his head slightly, Xiao Yan opened his half-closed eyes and looked around the training ground. Those gloating looks made him couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Standing up slowly, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan on the podium and smiled slightly.
Xiao Zhan also looked at Xiao Yan, recalling the plan the young man had mentioned half a month ago, and nodded with a look of relief.
Yan'er, go do what you want to do, your father will always support you!
Under the gazes of everyone in the room, Xiao Yan came directly under the black stone tablet.
He stretched out his hand and lightly placed it on the cold black stone tablet.
All eyes, at this moment, were fixed on the stone tablet without blinking. They knew very well that this test might be the last test for this talented young man who once amazed the entire Wutan City.
The stone tablet was slightly calm, and after a moment, a strong light suddenly came out!
The huge golden fonts on the stone tablet made the hearts of everyone present stop beating in an instant.
"Xiao Yan, Dou Qi, third stage, failed!"
The examiner looked at Xiao Yan, who had a calm face, with complicated eyes and announced the results ruthlessly.
"Hahaha, as expected, this piece of trash is still at the third stage of fighting spirit!"
"I heard that he spent most of the past year in the back mountains practicing hard. I thought he would make some progress, but I didn't expect him to still be a waste!"
"I really don't know where he got the confidence to make a three-year agreement with the Young Master of the Yunlan Sect. I estimate that he will still be at the third level of fighting spirit by then, which will really bring shame to our Xiao family."
As Xiao Yan’s cultivation level was revealed on the stone tablet, countless mocking voices suddenly rang out across the entire square.
The Xiao family members present looked at Xiao Yan with a gloating expression on their faces.
Even the younger generation who had not yet reached the seventh level of Dou Qi, originally had a look of frustration and despair on their faces, but after seeing Xiao Yan's performance, they could not help but show disdain and ridicule.
"Patriarch, what do you have to say now?"
"Trash will always be trash. Don't always be so naive as to expect a miracle to happen."
On the high platform, the first elder and the second elder mocked Xiao Zhan mercilessly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan looked at them expressionlessly, then looked at Xiao Yan, who was on the stage accepting the ridicule and insults of the crowd without any change in his expression, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride rising in his heart.
"My son, Xiao Zhan, is extraordinary!"
"You guys know nothing, my Yan'er is not a waste!"
Looking at the black-shirted young man under the black stone tablet, Xiao Zhan's eyes were slightly moist. He knew in his heart how much the young man had endured at this moment.
Even Xiao Zhan couldn't help but be moved by the character displayed by Xiao Yan.
"These people...are really going too far..."
Seeing everyone present mocking Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er's expression turned slightly cold.
However, as she looked at the figure on the stage, she couldn't understand.
"Brother Xiao Yan...why did he choose to hide his cultivation?"
Chapter 20 Xiao Xun'er boldly expresses her love!
On the testing bench, Xiao Yan looked at the data displayed on the stone tablet and heard the harsh and sarcastic voices coming from all around him. His face remained calm without a trace of anger.
As his eyes swept across the faces of the people present, Xiao Yan felt a sneer in his heart.
Old Han is right. What is there for me to miss about a group of people like this?
Apart from my father and Xun'er, what does the life and death of others have to do with me?
At this moment, facing the merciless ridicule and disgusting faces of his clansmen, and thinking of everything he had endured in the past three years, Xiao Yan's heart gradually grew cold.
If I were to reveal my true power today, I'm afraid these people would behave differently, right?
What a bunch of mean and powerful people!
Afterwards, Xiao Yan turned around, ignored the sarcastic looks of the crowd, and slowly walked down the testing bench without saying a word and came to Xun'er's side.
"Xun'er, let's go."
Seeing the confusion and worry on the face of the beautiful girl in front of him, Xiao Yan's cold heart warmed up a little and he forced a smile.
Seeing the smile on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Xun'er felt relieved. She smiled lightly and then nodded slightly.
"Asshole, after I let Grandpa kick you out of the Xiao family, I'll see if you still have the qualifications to be with Xiao Xun'er!"
With his fists clenched tightly together, Xiao Ning stared grimly at Xiao Yan who was leaving with Xun'er.
Xiao Zhan, who was on the high platform, was also shocked by this scene. He stared at the intimate figures of the two people. After a slight surprise, a hint of hidden worry flashed across his eyes: "Yan'er, this child, won't... won't fall in love with Xun'er, right? You know, her status... is not comparable to Nalan Yanran. Even if she has a terrifying talent for cultivation, it is not easy to get the recognition of the forces behind her."
After a moment's silence, Xiao Zhan shook his head and sighed softly.
"Why are you so disappointed, Patriarch? Xiao Yan is destined to be a waste. I told you a long time ago that you don't have to place high hopes on him."
Seeing this, the second elder on the side couldn't help but mock Xiao Zhan.
"Second Elder, are you teaching me how to do things? It's not your turn to interfere with my son Xiao Zhan!"
Thinking about how Xiao Yan deliberately hid his cultivation in order to protect the Xiao family from persecution by the Yunlan Sect, but was instead ridiculed by his clansmen.
As a father, Xiao Zhan naturally felt extremely uncomfortable.
Hearing the words of the Second Elder at this moment, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Humph, even if you are the clan leader's son, you cannot break the clan rules."
"Xiao Yan is about to turn sixteen, but he is still a useless person at the third level of Dou Qi. According to the clan rules, he should be expelled from the family and sent to various industries."
The great elder at the side couldn't help but speak when he heard this.
"Isn't there still a month until I turn sixteen? Why are the two elders so anxious?"
Xiao Zhan glanced coldly at the first elder and the second elder, feeling somewhat helpless.
According to the clan rules of the Xiao family, as long as one has passed the coming-of-age ceremony, those who have no potential for cultivation will be disqualified from entering the Douqi Pavilion to seek for Douqi techniques, and will be assigned to various family businesses to take care of some ordinary matters for the family.
This is the family rule. Even if he is the patriarch, it cannot be changed!
Yan'er, everything depends on you.
…………
"Brother Xiao Yan, are you just going to let them talk about you like this?"
Following behind Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er asked with some confusion, thinking of the scene of everyone's ruthless ridicule just now.
"Let them say whatever they want. I don't have anything to lose." Xiao Yan said indifferently.
"Three years ago, I would be excited by their awe. In the past three years, facing their ridicule and sarcasm, I might have felt a little angry in my heart. As for now... I don't feel anything anymore." Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled in a flat tone.
