Chapter 13: Family Tournament

The next day, the warm morning sun shines through the window into the room.

The light full of vitality shone on the handsome face of the lazy boy at the table, giving people a very dreamy feeling.

But who knows, what a strong heart is hidden under this lazy appearance; under this handsome and elegant face like a handsome boy, there is a reckless soul hidden.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi felt the warm sunlight on his body and woke up slightly.

Last night, Yiyi slept in bed, and he casually lay on the table to rest.

Yiyi also had a side room, but it was the servant's room, which was far less comfortable than Xiao Yi's room. She was injured, so Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't let her sleep in the side room.

When Xiao Yi woke up, he found that the table was full of breakfast.

The food wasn't that plentiful, but it was tempting.

A bowl of white porridge, but thick enough, the rice grains and water are perfectly blended together, and the porridge noodles have a faint fragrance, which must be smooth and delicious.

A few steamed buns, but they were steamed to a moderate degree of softness, and the white surface exuded hot steam, which greatly increased the appetite.

"Master, you're awake." Yiyi just happened to walk in with two bowls of shredded pork noodles in her hands.

"Why did you wake up so early?" There was a hint of blame in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Yiyi actually slept soundly last night, but she always remembered to take care of Xiao Yi, so she woke up early this morning and prepared breakfast before Xiao Yi woke up.

Yiyi could hear that in Xiao Yi's accusing tone, there was more intense concern, stuck his tongue out, and said nothing, turned around and took a pan of water to wash Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi knew that Yiyi's character was always well-behaved and pleasant, so he didn't say anything more. After a brief wash, we had breakfast.

I have to say that Yiyi's cooking skills are very good. It's obviously just a simple thing, but it's magic in her hands, and it becomes very delicious.

Moreover, although the food is not rich, it is nutritionally balanced.

"After breakfast, eat these two things." Xiao Yi put the two pills on the table while eating the porridge.

A strengthening pill, a Qi nourishing pill.

These two medicinal herbs have a certain effect on the martial artist, but they are not big, but they have a great effect on ordinary people.

Strengthening the body, as the name suggests, is to make the body more healthy.

Nourishing Qi Dan, tonifying Qi Ying deficiency.

Yiyi has not been able to eat enough to wear warm clothes for many years, which has caused her body to be very weak.

And these two kinds of medicinal herbs will be like tonic and good medicine for her body.

"This... this is a medicinal pill." Yiyi recognized these two things at once, and then quickly declined, "Young master, you are a martial artist and need medicinal pills even more."

"Open your mouth." Xiao Yi just said a word lightly.

"Ah?" Yiyi was stunned.

While she was stunned, Xiao Yi shoved the medicinal pill into her mouth.

After a while, it was obvious that Yiyi's pale complexion became a little rosier, and the whole person looked more energetic.

"Well, yes, it's good if it works." Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Yi started today's practice.

......

Time is like a white horse in the gap, and it flies so fast with a swoosh, people can't realize how it can run so fast.

Half a month is full, and it's over in an instant.

Today is one of the most important days for the Xiao family. The opening of the Ziyun Cave every three years and the annual family competition will be held today.

On such an important day, all the members of the Xiao family stopped their work, gathered in the family, and waited for this grand occasion.

The significance of the clan competition is to examine the cultivation situation of the clan children over the past year to see if they have cultivated seriously.

In the competition, if you can get a good ranking, you will get a lot of rewards from the family.

And the older generation of family warriors,

Also pay special attention to this.

After all, the younger generation is related to the inheritance of the family in the future, and also affects the rise and fall of the Xiao family decades later.

.....

In the room, Xiao Yi woke up from the meditation practice, and there was a dazzling light in his eyes.

For the past two weeks, he has been practicing hard every day. Unfortunately, the cultivation base has not broken through, it is still only the fifth level of the mortal realm, and there is still a short distance from the sixth level of the mortal realm.

The corner of his mouth suddenly overflowed with a confident smile. It seems that in addition to his own cultivation, he has other strengths, and he has enough confidence to cope with today's family competition.

"Master, breakfast is ready." Suddenly, a graceful figure slowly walked into the room, and the lotus steps moved lightly, every move was pleasing to the eye.

The girl's delicate face and Bai Zhe's skin were so fascinated that they couldn't move their eyes.

The person here is Yiyi.

It is worth mentioning that after swallowing the Strengthening Body Pill and Qi Nourishing Pill every day for half a month, Yiyi's body became beautiful after she was no longer weak.

Yiyi was beautiful in the first place, but she was beaten and scolded all the year round and was malnourished, which gave people the illusion of being "ugly".

"Beautiful, so beautiful." Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Even those beautiful stars in the previous life would probably feel ashamed in front of Yiyi."

When Xiao Yi first crossed into this world, just looking at Yiyi's back, he already felt that she was a peerless beauty.

Although I saw the front side later, this is a girl with yellow face and thin skin, but with Xiao Yiyue's countless experiences, I can see at a glance that Yiyi is the kind of beauty embryo with a natural beauty that is hard to give up.

Sure enough, after a period of recuperation, the current Yiyi really can be described as a national beauty.

If you put Yiyi in a gorgeous set of clothes, she must be a living classical beauty, and she is also the kind that allures the country.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Feeling Xiao Yi's burning gaze, Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable and blushed.

"It's nothing." Xiao Yi smiled, looked away, and said, "Today is the day of the family competition, do you want to come and see the excitement?"

Yiyi shook her head obediently and said, "No, Master, I want to wait for you at home."

"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao Yi shrugged and went out.

In the back, Yiyi watched Xiao Yi's leaving back seriously, in fact, she also wanted to watch the fun. However, she knew that Xiao Yi went to the competition and would be very tired when he came back. She wants to prepare meals at home, so that Xiao Yi can eat hot and delicious meals as soon as he comes back and relieve fatigue.

.....

When he came to the family competition arena, Xiao Yi found that the place was full of people, and the crowd was dense, at least thousands of people.

As one of the three major families in Ziyun City, the Xiao family is really a big family.

"Look, it's Xiao Yi that trash..."

"Tsk tsk, that trash actually dared to appear."

Almost at the moment Xiao Yi appeared, many family members had already started pointing. There was contempt, disdain, and a hint of pity in his eyes.

Yes, poor.

The bet between Xiao Yi and Xiao Ruohan had already spread throughout the Xiao family.

In the eyes of these family members, if they dare to bet with the strongest of the younger generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi's end will definitely be miserable.

Some of the family seniors looked at Xiao Yi with ridicule and disappointment on their faces.

"Before the head of the family disappeared, but the most dazzling genius in the family, how could he give birth to such an incompetent son."

"Hey, the head of the family back then had the highest talent in the entire clan, with both wisdom and bravery. It's a pity that his only bloodline is an abscess."

Many clansmen shook their heads and sighed.

At this time, in the distance, the Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, Eighth Elder, and some of the deacons headed by them all showed vicious eyes.

"Little waste, after today, you will be removed from the Xiao family."

"This little bastard made him arrogant half a month ago, hum, he feels good today."

The three chatted in low voices.

On the other side, Xiao Yi felt sharp, obviously felt these unkind gazes, and immediately looked at them.

The fifth elder and others also responded quickly, and immediately retracted their gazes.

"Hmph." Xiao Yi sneered, "A bunch of villains, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and one day you won't be able to succeed."

If it was the former straw bag Xiao Yi, naturally he couldn't see the situation clearly.

But now Xiao Yi could see the intention of the fifth elder at a glance.

Obviously, he had long coveted the position of the head of the Xiao family and wanted to take over the power of the Xiao family alone. And he, the nominal young head of the family, is an obstacle that prevents him from taking power.

That's why Xiao Ruohan pushed Xiao Yi down the cliff.

After that, Xiao Yi was lucky enough not to die, but he did not know what method he used to win over the seventh and eighth elders who deliberately wanted to strip Xiao Yi of the title of young master.

Once the Xiao family loses the Young Patriarch, he can justifiably elect a new Young Patriarch.

And the entire younger generation of the Xiao family, who is qualified to be the new young master, is Xiao Ruohan.

If his plan succeeds, and Xiao Ruohan takes the position, the third elder, the acting head of the family, will be slowly emptied of power. At that time, the entire Xiao family will be properly controlled by the five elders.

The third elder, Xiao Zhong, is a man who values ​​love and righteousness, but he is a bit old-fashioned and cannot compare to the cunning and cunning fifth elder in terms of strategy.

Of course, the current Xiao Yi will never let them succeed.

At this time, a loud shout came from the competition platform, "The family competition is about to begin."

This is a deacon in the family, an acquired eight-level martial artist, serving as the referee for this competition.
