Chapter 1: Forced to Be a Son-in-Law
Jingchuan City, Xiao Family.
"Tian'er, you are a rare genius in Jingchuan for a hundred years. The future of our Xiao family depends on you."
"Needless to say, our Tian'er is a hero favored by Piaomiao Fairy Palace. In the future, even if the Long family in Jingchuan City sees us, they will have to kowtow to us."
Xiao Fan stood alone in the corner of the hall, watching his parents flattering his younger brother Xiao Tian.
In the Xiao family, Xiao Fan's life is not even as good as some servants who are doing better.
In the eyes of his parents, there is only this talented younger brother, and they have never regarded him as a son.
"That's right, my talent is naturally much better than that of my useless elder brother." Xiao Tian sneered. At this time, he was sitting in the main seat in the hall. Only the head of the family could sit in this position.
But everyone in the Xiao family seemed to think that only Xiao Tian was suitable for this position, and it was natural for him to sit here.
Hearing his own brother say this, Xiao Fan's heart tightened.
Although he was used to the sarcasm of everyone in the family, it did not mean that he was immune to it. On the contrary, every time he heard such sarcasm, he felt the same pain in his heart.
"That's right, Tian'er, your talent is the best in our Jingchuan City, of course, you are not comparable to your useless brother."
Every time Xiao Tian looked down on him as the eldest brother, his parents would follow Xiao Tian's words and insult him together!
Or in this family, no one cared about Xiao Fan's feelings, and even said that no one cared about life and death...
Xiao Fan did not say anything, standing aside and listening silently.
"But the competition over there in Piaomiao Immortal Palace is also very fierce. The envoys of the Immortal Palace will come in half a month. It is not easy to obtain resources in the Immortal Palace. I am afraid that the Xiao family cannot provide enough resources for my cultivation." Xiao Tian spoke up and expressed his concerns.
Father Xiao patted his chest and laughed, "Tian'er, don't worry, your father has arranged all these for you. As long as you marry into the Long family, they have promised to give us resources, and even let you learn the Long family's Xuan-level skills."
"Long family?" Xiao Tian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although the Long family is considered the first family in Jingchuan City, the strongest ancestor of the Long family is only at the Tongtian realm, and I am about to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect. How can such a family be able to climb up to me?"
"Hahaha... Tian'er, you worry too much. How could a father not consider what you said?" Father Xiao laughed, and then glanced at Xiao Fan who was standing in the corner.
"Oh? What does father mean?" Xiao Tian became interested.
"The marriage partner is naturally not you, but your brother, and the marriage partner of the Long family is the third daughter of the Long family, so that Xiao Fan can marry into their Long family."
Father Xiao smiled and explained: "The Long family just wants to be involved with our Xiao family. After all, Tian'er, you have a bright future. This is an investment by the Long family. Moreover, father has already negotiated with the head of the Long family. The Long family is willing to give out one thousand spirit stones and the Long family's ancestral secret method. When the time comes, Tian'er, you don't have to worry about the cultivation resources after joining Piaomiao Immortal Palace."
"Hahaha... Not bad, not bad, father's idea is very good. The third daughter of the Long family looks good, but there is a birthmark on the left side of her face. Half of her face is beautiful, and the other half of her face is like a ghost. She dare not see people on weekdays. She is also looked down upon by the Long family. This kind of person is just right for my useless brother." Xiao Tian was ecstatic.
Since he can get so many cultivation resources, after entering the Immortal Palace, it will be the time for him, Xiao Tian, to jump into the dragon gate.
"Master is really smart. He can come up with such a good idea. When Tian'er enters the Immortal Palace, he will definitely soar to the sky." Xiao's mother also smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Fan listened to his parents and younger brother chatting and laughing. For the sake of his younger brother's future, they directly decided his fate and made him a son-in-law? He felt desperate.
"Xiao Tian, I am your elder brother after all. Why do you call me a waste?" Xiao Fan spoke, breaking the originally noisy hall.
At this time, there was silence in the hall. After a while, Xiao's father came back to his senses first, pointing at Xiao Fan's nose and cursing: "You waste, how can you talk to your brother?"
Xiao Fan did not refute his father, but stared at his younger brother.
"Hahaha...brother?" Xiao Tian laughed, then said coldly: "You are worthy of me calling you brother. The reason why I always call you a waste is to remind you that you are a waste."
"You have such a poor talent for cultivation. You have only been in the second level of the body forging realm for so many years. What about me? The fifth level of the Qi transformation realm. Do you understand the gap between you and me?"
After the body forging realm is the Qi transformation realm. Although they are brothers, Xiao Fan's talent for cultivation is too poor. He has not even reached the normal level.
And Xiao Tian, the first genius of Jingchuan City, became the first disciple of Jingchuan City to be favored by Piaomiao Immortal Palace in decades.
"But, but even if my cultivation talent is not as good as yours, you can decide my life like this? Let me marry into the Long family?" Xiao Fan was unwilling and said angrily: "Why should I sacrifice me in exchange for resources to fulfill you!"
"Fulfill? Trash, you are probably thinking too much." Xiao Tian shook his head.
"In this world, the strong are respected, and the weak have no right to speak. You were born in the Xiao family, but what can you do for the Xiao family? Aren't you a waste? Letting you marry into the Long family is just a small sacrifice for you. What are you dissatisfied with? What's more, the Long family is the first family in Jingchuan City. You are marrying up, understand?"
Hearing Xiao Tian's cold voice, Xiao Fan was ashamed, or he should have faced this reality long ago.
This family is cold to him.
After a while, Xiao Fan gritted his teeth: "I don't agree. No matter what, I don't agree with this marriage."
"You don't agree?" Xiao Tian snorted coldly, then threw a punch, and a "hissing" sound of breaking through the air was heard in the air, and a huge wave of fist wind hit Xiao Fan's chest from a distance.
"Puff!"
The moment he was hit by the fist, Xiao Fan vomited blood and flew backwards for five meters before hitting the wall of the hall and stopping. Half of his body was embedded in the wall.
Xiao Fan's body fell like a dead body, and a big hole was smashed in the wall behind him.
"See if this idiot is still dead." Xiao Tian said coldly.
Xiao Fan fell into a coma. After a while, he heard a cold, emotionless voice coming from his ear, waking him up.
"Zhoutian Xingdoutu, recognize the master."
