Upon hearing this, Qiao Chuxu and Ji Jinlan's expressions changed instantly.

Being excluded from the family genealogy means that the Qiao family does not acknowledge Qiao Suinian as a member of the Qiao family at all.

"Brother! How can this be! Sui Nian and Sui Yue are both my own sons. Moreover, Sui Nian suffered so much outside before finally returning to my side. How can Sui Nian not be included in the family genealogy!"

Qiao Chuyang frowned, his face appearing even more stern.

"Fourth brother, are you questioning me? You want to include a monster with corpse spots on his body in the family register?"

"Fourth brother wouldn't dare!" Seeing Qiao Chuyang's anger, Qiao Chuxu quickly lowered his head, but he continued unwillingly, "But eldest brother, the blood flowing in Sui Nian's veins is indeed that of the Qiao family!"

Seeing Qiao Chuxu say this, Qiao Chuyang hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Fourth brother, it's not that I'm being heartless, but if Suinian is really your child, then he's my nephew too. What uncle wouldn't love his nephew? But you know the current situation of the Qiao family. If Suinian is really included in the family genealogy, you can imagine the huge uproar it will cause!"

After listening, Qiao Chuxu's expression changed repeatedly. Then, as if he had made an important decision, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother, what if I told you that Sui Nian is a dual combat profession user?"

"What?!"

Qiao Chuyang exclaimed in surprise and stood up straight instantly.

Although the probability of a legendary class appearing is extremely low, thanks to the large population of the Great Xia Kingdom, quite a few legendary classes have emerged.

As long as the Qiao family makes a statement, legendary professionals willing to risk their lives for them will be able to break through any barriers.

Therefore, even though he knew that Qiao Suinian was a legendary necromancer, Qiao Chuyang didn't take it to heart.

However, those who possess dual combat skills are a different story. Currently, there are only eight known individuals in Kyoto who possess dual combat skills.

Of these eight people, six served in the Four Symbols Legion of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, the other two belonged to other families among the four major families, and none of them were from the Qiao family.

The terror of dual-combat professionals is self-evident. This means they have two completely different combat systems that can clash to create all sorts of unimaginable combat styles. For example, a mage might miss a spell, tear off his robe to reveal his eight-pack abs, and then attack you.

"Is this really true?" Qiao Chuyang's breathing became rapid.

“I haven’t asked Sui Nian yet, but it should be correct!” Qiao Chuxu nodded heavily.

After extracting some details of their battle with Qiao Suinian from Gu Youyang and the others, Qiao Chuxu already had a guess in his mind.

After all, how could a normal necromancer suddenly pull out a knife and kill someone with a single blow during a battle? That's clearly illogical.

"Suinian, are you really a dual-combat profession?" Qiao Chuyang turned to look at Qiao Suinian.

Qiao Suinian nodded.

He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be kept secret sooner or later, and anyone with a discerning eye could easily guess that he had two jobs.

Let me see!

Qiao Chuyang made a move instantly, flames roaring in his palm, the fire raging and attacking Qiao Suinian directly. Before the attack even reached her, the intense heat wave was already hitting her.

Qiao Chuxu and Ji Jinlan, standing nearby, showed no signs of distress, demonstrating Qiao Chuyang's meticulous control over his power.

Qiao Suinian's gaze sharpened, instantly sensing the terror of Qiao Chuyang. He immediately covered his left hand with hardened crystal and then clashed with Qiao Chuyang.

Bang!

As the two struck each other with their palms, Qiao Suinian staggered back several steps before managing to regain her balance, while Qiao Chuyang stood firm like an ancient pine tree, clearly demonstrating the difference in their strength.

But at this moment, Qiao Chuyang suddenly felt a cold wind rise behind him, and a chill suddenly appeared on his back.

He didn't have time to think and quickly dodged to the side. As soon as he moved aside, a rusty tetanus blade swept across the spot where he had just been standing.

Even though Qiao Chuyang dodged immediately, the tip of the longsword still tore through his robe at the waist.

Qiao Chuyang looked closely and realized that a small skeleton had appeared behind him at some point.

Although the little skeleton's skeletal face had no flesh or blood, Qiao Chuyang could still detect a hint of lewdness in it.

"Good lad! I underestimated you!"

Qiao Chuyang did not make another move. Although he had repelled Qiao Suinian, he had not injured her. On the contrary, he himself had his robes torn.

Although he wasn't injured, he clearly suffered a setback in this brief exchange.

This time, Qiao Chuyang truly believed that Qiao Suinian was indeed a dual-combat professional.

Seeing that Qiao Chuyang had stopped, Qiao Suinian also released the hardened crystal from his left hand. Another small skeleton that had taken the Haoye Dragon Staff and the Skull Staff from Qiao Suinian's room also tiptoed back into the room without making a sound.

It seems that no matter where I am, I will have to keep my weapons with me at all times next time, Qiao Suinian thought to himself.

"Suinian, what's wrong with you? How could you tear your uncle's clothes! Apologize now!" Qiao Chuxu shouted angrily, but his eyes were full of smiles.

He knew Qiao Chuyang's strength better than anyone else. Qiao Chuyang's ability to become the next heir to the family head was not solely due to his status as the eldest son.

Although Qiao Chuyang underestimated his opponent to some extent, Qiao Suinian's ability to launch a sneak attack was enough to show that Qiao Suinian was extraordinary.

"Uncle, I'm sorry." Qiao Suinian was very perceptive and immediately apologized.

"It's alright, it's just a piece of clothing. Besides, I was the one who tested the waters first, so don't blame me." Qiao Chuyang waved his hand.

Qiao Chuxu and Ji Jinlan exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes. It seemed there was hope!

Just as the couple were immersed in joy, Qiao Chuyang suddenly changed the subject.

"Fourth brother, come out with me for a moment."

Qiao Chuxu was a little stunned, but he still obediently followed Qiao Chuyang out.

"It's alright, child, don't worry, your dad and I are here to help!" Ji Jinlan came over and comforted Qiao Suinian.

"Thank you, Mom." Qiao Suinian smiled and didn't say anything more.

Whether or not he was included in the Qiao family's genealogy, or whether or not he was recognized by the Qiao family, was completely unimportant to him. He didn't care about these things at all, as he had no feelings for the Qiao family to begin with.

The only people he truly cared about were Qiao Chuxu and Ji Jinlan, who were concerned about him.

After a long while, Qiao Chuxu walked in from outside, his face extremely pale.

Qiao Chuxu walked straight to the tea table and drank several sips of tea, seemingly trying to calm himself down.

"Don't just drink tea, tell me quickly, what did your brother say?" Ji Jinlan pressed.

Qiao Chuxu's face was grim. He looked up at Qiao Suinian with a guilty look in his eyes.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. Then he sighed softly before finally speaking.

"My elder brother said that the Qiao family needs someone with two combat professions, but... it can't be Sui Nian."
