Chapter 252: Making a fuss
Cheng Anran looked at the scene in front of her in shock, and said to Zhou Xisuo, "How could you slap your own sister in front of so many people?"
"It's none of your business to worry about household chores."
"Hey, how can you talk like that?" She stood up, leaned on the table and looked at him, continuing, "Does your sister have no dignity? How can you be a brother like that?"
Zhou Xisuo looked uneasy: "We're already fighting in the street, what's the point of saving face?"
She slammed the table again: "Can this be the same?"
Li Xiu agreed: "It is indeed different."
Han Yueshan said directly: "What you did is more damaging to her dignity than losing a fight in the street."
Zhou Xisuo said impatiently: "She did something wrong..."
Cheng Anran interrupted him rudely: "If it were my brother, he would just apologize politely and scold me when he got home. He would never slap me in front of so many people."
He wanted to say something, but Li Xiu, Han Yueshan and others joined together to scold him.
Tao Zi and Yue Qingya drank tea on the side and watched them educate people slowly.
Xu Zhiruo was a little confused. How did it become like this?
Zhou Xixiu couldn't bear it any longer and choked up to defend her brother: "What does it have to do with you? My brother didn't hit you."
Li Xiu sighed and said, "Girl, do you know what's good for you?"
Cheng Anran took advantage of the situation and said, "Look, we all thought you were wrong, but your sister still protected you. She's more like a brother than you are."
Zhou Xisuo was at a loss for words, but luckily the restaurant served snacks at that moment, and the meal was temporarily quiet for a while.
Cheng Anran was about to reach out to take the snacks, but found that her hands were dirty.
"Xi Jing!"
She looked at her companions with sparkling eyes.
Xi Jing took a piece and fed it to her: "Open your mouth, ah!"
Zhou Xixiu looked at them enviously but didn't dare to speak.
Han Yueshan's eyes moved, and he said to his junior brother: "Alas, junior brother, my hands are dirty too."
He frantically hinted that this was a good opportunity to make friends with the Zhou brothers and sisters.
Zhao Xue smiled coldly, picked up a piece of dessert that was big enough to fill his mouth and thrust it straight at him.
When the dessert was put into his mouth, Han Yueshan almost couldn't sit still. He chewed it for a long time before he could speak.
Seeing his junior brother using so much strength, Xu Zhiruo remained silent. It was likely that these two brothers had a grudge against each other.
When Han Yueshan was able to speak, he immediately said, "Your sister's hands are dirty too. As a brother, how can you bear to see your sister go hungry?"
Zhou Xisuo had a dark face and didn't say anything, while Zhou Xixiu lowered his head silently.
He immediately looked at Zhao Xue: "Junior brother, how about you do it for me?"
Zhao Xue's face turned blue, and he kicked him under the table.
Han Yueshan was caught off guard and fell off the table, struggling to say, "How about the brother over there do it for me?"
Zhou Xixiu couldn't help laughing, and Tao Zi silently averted her eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
When Xu Zhiruo found that the war had spread to his side, he was stunned for a moment and then understood Han Yueshan's idea. He tentatively picked up a piece of dessert.
Zhou Xisuo's face darkened even further. He stopped him and asked his sister uncomfortably, "Which piece do you want to eat?"
Zhou Xixiu looked at her brother in shock, hesitantly pointing at a snack.
When the scene finally quieted down, Yue Qingya asked with a smile, "Doesn't anyone here know how to remove dust?"
There was silence in the box.
After the food arrived, Tao Zi, as the eldest sister, spoke up, "It's true that An Ran started it this time, but it was also your sister who spoke rudely first. Let's just say we've never known each other before, how about that?"
Zhou Xixiu felt a little better after what had just happened. She said awkwardly, "Then let it be."
Zhou Xisuo looked at his sister and wanted to speak, but Cheng Anran spoke first: "Then you are not allowed to say bad things about Li Er in front of me anymore. She is now a member of our Cheng family."
Zhou Xixiu lowered her head and said, "Okay, I was wrong."
Zhou Xisuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect his sister to change her mind.
However, others could see that the little girl was stubborn. The more her brother scolded her, the more she refused to admit her mistakes. She was the type who simply asked for trouble.
Afterwards, Zhou Xisuo wanted to take his sister away, Han Yueshan pulled him aside to talk, and Cheng Anran also went over.
Xu Zhiruo looked at them in confusion. Tao Zi smiled and said, "My junior brother has no bad intentions. You can rest assured."
"No, I didn't mean that."
As he spoke, Xu Zhiruo glanced at her. He felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Tao Zi was very calm and even asked, "What's on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
He said hurriedly: "No, I just thought the girl's voice was very familiar."
Her expression darkened as she said, "My voice became like this after I escaped from the fire. Fellow Daoist, you've probably seen someone like me."
Xu Zhiruo was very embarrassed and apologized again and again.
When Zhou Xisuo came back, he looked a little uncomfortable. He said, "Xixiu, go back."
Zhou Xixiu was a little afraid of him, so she nodded obediently and agreed: "Okay."
Watching the three of them walk away, Zhao Xue sighed, "What a lovely sister! Why is this brother so mean?"
Cheng Anran said quietly, "Cute? That's a cruel beating."
Several people laughed. Tao Zi touched her messy hair and said, "Let's go back first."
Han Yueshan walked with a smile on his face. After this incident, it was certain that he would become friends with the two of them.
After returning to the inn, Cheng Anran went straight into the room and prepared to take care of herself.
Tao Zi came to Yueshan, where the little fox was also placed. It was sleeping next to its fox cousin.
Looking at these two furry little animals, Xi Jing really wanted to touch them, but she held back.
Tao Zi asked, "The rules of the sect competition haven't been revealed?"
Han Yueshan nodded and said sadly, "The Sword Sect is too strict. There is basically no news, and that's not even mentioning the reward for the final winner."
Li Xiu frowned and said, "This is used to attract those casual cultivators."
Listening to them talk about this, Zhao Xue asked in confusion, "Why do we need to know in advance? Aren't these just the procedures? They shouldn't change much."
"Silly." Han Yueshan looked at his junior brother with dismay, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
"Um, can this be applied to the rules of the competition?"
Tao Zi explained it more simply: "The rules of the competition will change, such as whether talismans can be brought onto the competition stage, whether high-level weapons can be used, etc."
Yue Qingya said in a gentle voice, "Like in the previous competition, it allowed cultivators to use spiritual weapons or even higher-level weapons when the opponent was unarmed. Some sects that didn't receive the news were defeated because of this."
The three sects and four schools have different ideas about the competition. Some sects believe that they should take into consideration the independent cultivators who have no resources, while some sects think that resources are also part of strength. I just don’t know what the Sword Sect thinks.
