"'I'm really not a member of the Xiao family?" Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Yanzhi uncertainly.
Zhou Yanzhi took a spiritual fruit that the servant brought to him and put it in his hand: "Is there anything related?"
Xiao Yu thought about it and agreed: "But compared to the bloody novels I have read, the head and mistress of the Xiao family are very good to me, and even my eldest and second brothers are the same." They would give me spirit stones and spirit herbs whenever they had the chance.
"Your aptitude is too poor. If they didn't give anything, how could they have trained you, with five spiritual roots, to the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of fourteen? If you think carefully about the other members of the Xiao family, there are many who have reached the third level of Qi Refining at the age of fourteen."
Xiao Yu was stunned: "It seems so."
"So, when 'I' proposed to you, it went smoothly. But according to what Zhou Xingzhi found out, Patriarch Xiao originally wanted to marry you when you were sixteen, and then send you to the Qi family in Huya City, so that you could become a wealthy man from then on."
"Considering my qualifications, this seems not bad." Xiao Yu muttered.
"Indeed, compared to what Zhou Xingzhi knew about other families who used someone else's money to take someone else's place, the Xiao family treated you very well. So well that it even made me suspect that you were their biological child."
"Maybe it's true. Maybe Zhou Xingzhi bet on the wrong horse!"
☆
"You two have such a good relationship!" Zhou Yuanhang looked at Zhou Xingzhi opposite him. He wanted to label the other party a fake.
But the blood stone cannot be faked, and if you make a mistake, the result will be more trouble than gain.
Zhou Xingzhi said with a half-smile, "My 21st brother is very polite, but it's nothing compared to you marrying the most beautiful woman. I believe you have already signed a Taoist Companion Contract."
Zhou Yuanhang's breath hitched, and he almost slapped the other person. He was really asking for trouble. It was just a woman, he was just playing around, just trying to gain a foothold in the Xiao family.
As expected, just as my father said, Zhou Xingzhi was a man of incredible intelligence and difficult to deal with.
Touched by Xiao Furong's resentful look, Zhou Yuanhang's expression changed instantly, and he had to say, "Brother Nineteen, you're joking. Furong is still young, I can't be so beastly. Besides, we just got married, I want to cultivate our relationship for a few years, and then things will develop naturally. I heard that Brother Nineteen did the same thing back then."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu discovered that Xiao Furong, who was fourteen years old this year, was indeed as pretty as a peach blossom and looked exceptionally radiant.
Xiao Yu: (⊙o⊙)… Tsk, this is a normal fourteen-year-old girl? Sure enough, she was the green tea and white lotus in his memory, even at the age of six. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she was some battle-hardened little girl!
☆
As if sensing Xiao Yu's gaze, Xiao Furong smiled shyly and said, "Brother Yu."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Furong, who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining and whose aura was still not very stable. "It's really rare for sister Furong to be so well-behaved. She used to call me a waste."
“…”
"I just don't understand. My cultivation is obviously higher than yours, so how can you have the nerve to call me that? Even if my father is the head of the family, there is no need for you to be so sarcastic."
"What are you talking about, you useless piece of shit?" A teenager who looked like he was about fourteen or fifteen was furious. "If your uncle wasn't the head of the family, and if your mother wasn't the legitimate daughter of the Qi family in Tiger Tooth City, do you think you could reach the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of fourteen with your aptitude?"
Xiao Yu looked at the young man as if he were mentally retarded, and after a while he said, "Xiao Kuo, you should be glad that this is not the Xiao family."
Xiao Huai in the crowd paused, thinking to himself: Third brother doesn't want to fight with others again, does he?
☆
"...You also said that my father is the head of the family, and my mother is the daughter of the head of the Qi family. Doesn't that mean I deserve what I have? You're talking as if Third Uncle didn't plan anything for you, and you're not relying on your parents. If you have the ability, why don't you use it? Besides, I'm already at the ninth level of Qi Refining! I'm only sixteen years old this year, and look at you, you're almost fifteen, and you're only at the fourth level. And you're just like that married woman Xiao Furong, with an unstable breath, clearly looking like you've been given some last-minute medicine."
Xiao Kuo's face flushed, and he was so choked that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He quickly glanced at Zhou Xingzhi and said, "You, you married a man, what are you so proud of?"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes: "Did Third Uncle say that, or did Third Aunt say that?"
"Third brother, stop teasing him." Xiao Huai said.
Xiao Yu's face darkened: "Xiao Huai, if you are like this, I will treat you as my younger brother when we enter the secret realm."
"Do you want to watch someone die without helping?" Xiao Kuo widened his eyes.
"What else? My father sold me for 100,000 spirit stones, and I still rushed to be a human shield. Do you think I am like the god in the Temple of the Wilderness? So broad-minded and able to tolerate the world?"
"The spirit stones you have in the Xiao family are more than 100,000."
"I don't need yours? Children are debts. They were given by my parents. What does it have to do with you?"
"you……"
Zhou Yuanhang looked at Zhou Xingzhi, who could calmly drink tea even when standing. He felt like his mouth was stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down. "People say that those who keep company with vermilion will be red, and those who keep company with ink will be black! I heard that Master Yu used to be very well behaved. I didn't expect..."
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, raised his chin slightly and looked at Xiao Huai: "Am I your third brother and I am very good?"
Xiao Huai laughed dryly, not daring to speak. This third brother did have a bit of an inferiority complex due to his talent, but if anyone dared to call him useless, especially to his face, he would fight back. Among his brothers and sisters, from those in their twenties and thirties to those as young as two or three, there was hardly anyone who dared to call him useless to his face who hadn't fought with him. That included Xiao Furong.
Because he was the son of the head of the family, no one dared to kill him, so every time he fought, everyone would be bruised and battered. Because of him, the Xiao family even ordered their children to fight only in hand-to-hand combat.
