Chapter 13: Family Tournament

The next day, the warm sunlight in the early morning shined through the windows into the room.
The vigorous light shining on the handsome face of the lazy boy at the table, giving people a very dreamy feeling.
But who knows, under this lazy appearance, what a strong heart is hidden; under the handsome and elegant face of this handsome young man, there is an unruly soul hidden.
"Huh?" Xiao Yi woke up slightly, feeling the warm sunshine on his body.
Last night, Yiyi slept in bed while he casually lay on the table to rest.
Yiyi also had a side room, but it was a room for the servants, and it was far less comfortable than Xiao Yi's room. She was injured, Xiao Yi naturally would not let her sleep in the side room.
When Xiao Yi woke up, he found that the table was full of breakfast.
The food is not so rich, but very tempting.
A bowl of white porridge, but thick and proper, the rice grains and water are perfectly blended together, and the porridge noodles have a light fragrance, which must be smooth and delicious.
A few steamed buns, but they were steamed softly and moderately, and the white surface exuded hot steam, which greatly increased the appetite.
"Master, you're awake." Yiyi just walked in, still holding two bowls of shredded pork noodles.
"Why do you wake up so early?" There was a hint of blame in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Yiyi actually slept soundly last night, but always remembered to take care of Xiao Yi, so he woke up early this morning and prepared breakfast before Xiao Yi woke up.
Yiyi could hear that in Xiao Yi's accusatory tone, there was more of a deep concern, and he stuck his tongue out, without saying a word, turned around and slapped Xiao Yi with a bowl of water.
Xiao Yi knew Yiyi's character and always behaved, so he didn't say much. After a brief wash, I ate breakfast.
I have to say that Yiyi's cooking skills are very good. It is obviously just a simple thing, but it has been magical in her hands and it becomes very delicious.
Moreover, although the food is not rich, it is nutritionally balanced.
"After eating breakfast later, I will eat these two pills." Xiao Yi put the two pills on the counter while eating the porridge.
One pill for strengthening the body, one pill for nourishing Qi.
These two medicines have a certain effect on the martial artist, but they are not great, on the contrary, they have a great effect on ordinary people.
Qiangshen Dan, as the name suggests, is to make the body healthier.
Nourishing Qi Pill, invigorating Qi and surging deficiency.
Yiyi has not eaten enough for many years and has not been able to wear warmth, causing her body to be very weak.
And these two medicines will be like a good tonic, healing her body.
"This...this is a pill." Yiyi recognized these two things at once, and then quickly declined, "Master, you are a martial artist, and you need pill even more."
"Open your mouth." Xiao Yi just said a word indifferently.
"Ah?" Yiyi was stunned.
While she was stunned, Xiao Yi stuffed the pill into her mouth.
After a while, it is obvious that Yiyi's original pale complexion has become a little rosy, and the whole person looks more energetic.
"Well, it's not bad, it will be effective." Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction.
After eating breakfast, Xiao Yi began his practice today.
...
Time passed like a white horse with a swish, so fast that people could not realize how it could run so fast.
Fully charge for half a month, and it will pass in a flash.
Today is one of the most important days for the Xiao family. The opening of Ziyun Cave every three years and the annual family competition will all 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 the grand occasion.
The significance of the family competition is to examine the cultivation situation of the family's children over the past year to see if they have practiced seriously.
In the competition, if you can get a better place, you will get a lot of rewards from the family.
The older generation of family warriors also paid special attention to this.
After all, the younger generation is related to the future inheritance of the family and will also affect the rise and fall of the Xiao family decades later.
.....
In the room, Xiao Yi woke up from meditation, with a fascinating light in his eyes.
For the past half month, he has been practicing hard every day. Unfortunately, the cultivation base did not break through, it was still only the fifth level of the mortal realm, and there was still a short distance from the sixth level of the mortal realm.
A confident smile suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth. It seems that besides his own cultivation base, he has other confidence and has enough confidence to deal with today's family competition.
"Master, breakfast is ready." Suddenly, a graceful figure slowly walked into the room, moving lightly, making people pleasing to the eye.
The girl's delicate face and Bai Zhe's skin were deeply fascinating, and she couldn't move her eyes.
The person here is Yiyi.
What's worth mentioning is that after swallowing Qiangshen Pill and Yangqi Pill every day for half a month, Yiyi's body is no longer weak and has become beautiful.
Yiyi is beautiful at first, but he was beaten and scolded all the year round and was malnourished, which gave people the illusion of ‘ugly’.
"Beautiful, so beautiful." Xiao Yi couldn't help exclaiming in his heart, "Even the beautiful big stars in the previous life, I am afraid they will be ashamed of themselves in front of Yiyi."
When Xiao Yi had just crossed this world, just looking at Yiyi's back, he already felt that this was a peerless beauty.
Although I saw the front face that she was a girl with a yellow face and thin skin, with Xiao Yiyue's countless experience, she also saw at a glance that Yiyi is the kind of beauty who is born with beauty and cannot give up.
Sure enough, after a period of recuperation, the current Yiyi is truly beautiful.
If Yiyi is put on a set of gorgeous costumes, she must be a living classical beauty, and she is also a kind of dazzling country.
"Young...Young Master, what are you looking at?" Yiyi blushed as he felt Xiao Yi's scorching eyes.
"It's nothing." Xiao Yi smiled, retracted his gaze, and said, "Today is the day of the family competition, do you want to go see the excitement with me?"
Yiyi shook his head obediently, and said, "No, Master, I want to wait for you at home."
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao Yi shrugged and left.
Behind, Yiyi looked at Xiao Yi's leaving back seriously, in fact, she also wanted to see the excitement. However, she knew that Xiao Yi was going to the martial arts competition, and she would be very tired after returning. She wanted to prepare meals at home so that Xiao Yi could eat hot and delicious meals as soon as she came back to relieve fatigue.
.....
When he came to the family competition field, Xiao Yi found that there was already a lot of people here, and the crowd was dense, at least thousands of people.
As one of the three big families in Ziyun City, the Xiao family is really a big family.
"Look, it's Xiao Yi's trash..."
"Tsk tsk, that trash actually dared to appear."
Almost the moment Xiao Yi appeared, many family children had already begun to give pointers. There was contempt, disdain, and a trace 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 children, if they dare to bet against the strongest of the younger generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi will definitely end up miserably.
Some family seniors looked at Xiao Yi with joking and disappointment.
"Before the Patriarch disappeared, but the most dazzling genius in the family, why did he give birth to such an ineffective son?"
"Hey, the Patriarch of the year was the most talented person of the entire clan, and he was wise and brave. It's a pity that his only bloodline is an abscess."
Many people are shaking their heads and sighing.
At this time, in the distance, the fifth elders, the seventh elders, the eighth elders and some deacons headed by them all showed vicious eyes.
"Little waste, after today, you will be removed from the Xiao family."
"This little made him arrogant half a month ago, hum, he feels better today."
The three talked in low voices.
On the other side, Xiao Yi felt keenly, apparently feeling these unkind gazes, and immediately looked at it.
The Fifth Elder and others also reacted quickly, and immediately retracted their eyes.
"Humph." Xiao Yi sneered. "A group of villains, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. One day, you will never want to succeed."
If it was Xiao Yi, who was a former idiot, naturally he couldn't see the situation clearly.
But now Xiao Yi could see the intention of the five elders 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. And he, the nominal young Patriarch, is an obstacle that prevents him from taking power.
This is how Xiao Ruohan pushed Xiao Yi down the cliff.
In addition, Xiao Yi did not die by chance, but he didn't know what method he used to win over the seventh and eighth elders deliberately to remove the title of Xiao Yi's Young Patriarch.
Once the Young Patriarch disappeared from the Xiao family, he could justifiably recommend a new Young Patriarch.
And the younger generation of the entire Xiao family is qualified to be the new Young Patriarch, that is, Xiao Ruohan.
If his strategy succeeds, and Xiao Ruohan is in power, the third elder, the acting head of the Patriarch, will slowly evade power. At that time, the entire Xiao family will be under the control of the five elders.
The third elder Xiao Zhong is a man of love and righteousness, but he is a bit old-fashioned, and can't compare with the old and cunning fifth elders.
Of course, the current Xiao Yi would never let them succeed.
At this time, there was a loud shout from the competition station, "The family competition is about to begin."
This is a deacon in the family, the eightfold warrior the day after tomorrow, who served as the referee of this competition.
