Although Xiao An didn't know who Xu Shuo's partner was, he had to go along with it for now, otherwise it would definitely not let him off the hook.
Companion beasts can choose whether or not to form a contract, but they cannot kill the summoner.
Xiao An had initially dismissed this rule, but now he suddenly felt fortunate.
Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of his own companion beast last night.
Xiao An's words seemed to have no effect. Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo felt a surge of anger and angrily lunged at Xiao An.
Because of his injuries, the man was unable to move. Now, with the lion trampling under his feet and feeling its chill, Xiao An's eyes showed some panic.
"Don't be angry, I really don't lie to you," Xiao An quickly explained.
Xu Shuo looked at the ordinary-looking man at his feet, a flash of ferocity in his eyes, and then stomped his foot hard, pinning Xiao An to the ground.
Xiao An let out a scream. In addition to the pain of his chest being compressed, blood began to seep from the wounds on his body from the previous night.
Soon, the man's chest was stained red with blood.
In the end, Xiao An was in so much pain that he could barely make a sound.
Hearing the screams from inside the courtyard, the servants guarding the door looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them spoke up, "Go tell the head of the family."
They didn't rush in without permission. Since the companion beast wouldn't kill its summoner, Xiao An was definitely out of danger.
If they go in, the outcome might be different.
It seems that Xiao An still cannot satisfy his companion beast, and it will probably be difficult for him to form a bond with it.
Xu Shuo didn't kill him; it simply stood on Xiao An's body and looked down at his pained expression.
His golden pupils held a nonchalant coolness and an indescribable disgust.
How could he not hate this ordinary man?
He was so close to winning; she was so close to becoming his partner.
From the moment Liu Yin first arrived in the Guixu Realm, Xu Shuo had noticed her.
With her black hair and snow-white skin, she looked delicate and lovable, a sight rarely seen in the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
She seemed to know nothing, and worried that she would go hungry, so Xu Shuo would often secretly visit her and bring her some food.
But she didn't seem to like eating those things very much, and Xu Shuo had also been troubled by this.
It wasn't until later, when she was preparing to choose a partner, that Xu Shuo learned her name.
So her name is Liuyin, Xu Shuo thought with a hint of sweetness in his heart.
That night, Xu Shuo was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He couldn't fall asleep because every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was that smiling face.
On the day of the martial arts contest to choose a husband, he was so close to winning.
That was the last game.
Xu Shuo was very confident in his strength. He had already reached level eight, and he would definitely work harder to cultivate and transform into human form as soon as possible.
In this way, he can bring Liuyin to the Xuanwu Continent.
Although the Guixu Realm is nice, it is far less lively than the Xuanwu Continent, so many beast races will go to the Xuanwu Continent after transforming into human form.
Xu Shuo thought so too.
But in the end, during the battle with the leopard man, a suction force from behind suddenly pulled him away from the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
Even though he had never experienced it, Xu Shuo knew that this was a summoning technique from the Xuanwu Continent.
The last gaze fell on Liuyin, who was sitting in the first seat.
She was wearing a red dress today, revealing a glimpse of her fair waist, and she looked very beautiful.
Xu Shuo resisted the suction from behind; he didn't want to leave.
His resistance only accelerated his journey to the Xuanwu Continent. Suddenly, his vision went black, and he found himself in another place.
The ordinary-looking man's face lit up with joy, and his eyes shone as he looked at him.
But Xu Shuo found the light so irritating, and even somewhat hateful.
It was just an ordinary human who separated him and Liuyin.
So when Xu Shuo heard that Xiao An wanted to help him find a partner, he was not happy at all, but even angrier.
Now that he has left the Guixu Realm and the results of the martial arts contest for marriage have been announced, it should be that leopard.
Just thinking about Xiao An's actions that separated him and Liu Yin made Xu Shuo want to devour him.
Xu Shuo glanced coldly at Xiao An, whose face was contorted in pain, let out a roar, and then kicked him out the door.
The wooden door shattered into pieces with a bang, accompanied by a figure falling to the ground and blood splattering everywhere.
The people who were guarding outside the door were startled and looked warily at the fierce-looking lion inside.
However, Xu Shuo paid no attention to them and turned to leave.
Seeing the lion's departing figure, the group breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone went to check on Xiao An's condition.
His injuries looked worse than yesterday; a section of his chest had caved in, and dark red blood was constantly flowing from his body.
The men dared not move him, fearing that he might die if they were not careful.
"Quickly, go and call the doctor!"
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Go and tell the head of the family again."
He had already sent someone to inform the family head, but the family head did not come, and he could not judge whether Xiao An was still of any use.
——
The reason Xiao Yuncheng didn't come was because he was held back by Xiao Hechuan.
He had just learned from his servant that Xiao An had been beaten by his companion beast again, so he prepared to go and see what was going on.
Before I even stepped out of the yard, I could see my son's figure in the distance.
Xiao Yuncheng casually replied, "I still have some things to take care of. We can talk about it when I get back."
He really doesn't know how to face his son now.
Before this, Xiao Hechuan was his pride and the future hope of the Xiao family because he had the strongest spiritual power.
But yesterday, he was indeed disappointing.
Xiao Yuncheng knew that he should comfort his son and tell him that it wasn't a big deal that he couldn't summon his companion beast.
After all, even without his companion beast, He Chuan is still his son and the young master of the Xiao family.
But Xiao Yuncheng found it hard to say these words, especially since a servant had actually summoned a lion.
His son was so useless.
Xiao Yuncheng doesn't really want to see him right now.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hechuan did not stop walking and continued to stand in front of Xiao Yuncheng.
Blocked by him, Xiao Yuncheng frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
"Father, I want to leave the Xiao family."
When he said this, Xiao Hechuan's face was expressionless, and his voice was calm and even.
It looks like nothing different from usual.
But his words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake; beneath the ripples, the boulder's sharp edges were faintly visible.
"What did you say?" Xiao Yuncheng could hardly believe his ears, thinking he had misheard.
Xiao Hechuan looked up at him and met his gaze. "Patriarch, I want to leave the Xiao family."
