Chapter 8: Angry slap

The Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Eighth Elder looked gloomy for a while.
No one dares to openly violate the clan rules.
The atmosphere became serious for a while.
The third elder Xiao Zhong looked at Xiao Yi and his eyes were full of joy. He originally thought that Xiao Yi would definitely suffer a lot of grievances tonight, but he never expected that Xiao Yi would counterattack strongly, and the counterattack was so sharp.
"Really bless the ancestors of the Xiao family, Yi'er has grown up." Xiao Zhong thought to himself.
Also, after years of uselessness, he suddenly became so mature and brave. As an elder who loved him, he was naturally extremely happy.
Suddenly, Xiao Ruohan stood next to the fifth elders and took the lead to salute the elders and deacons present.
Then he said, "The elders and deacons, what Xiao Yi said, is the truth. However, the opportunity to practice in Ziyun Cave is very important to any family child."
"If Xiao Yi, as the Young Patriarch, has the ability to overwhelm the children of our other families, we naturally have nothing to say. But with his current meager cultivation base, giving him special care, this will be very unfair to the children of other families. "
"Even in our younger generation, we will have a lot of dissatisfaction with the family."
"I think that the ancestors of the ancestors set the rules back then, they must be to make our Xiao family flourish and get better and better. And I never want to see this kind of unfairness, let alone see the children of the family with regard to the family. Angry."
"So." Xiao Ruohan said in a deep voice, "I think the rules can be changed a bit."
Xiao Ruohan is a well-known genius in the Xiao family, personable, and quite mature, and is a descendant of many elders.
Moreover, he is only 17 years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Fan Realm.
In time, break through to the acquired realm.
It is very likely that he will become the youngest deacon in the history of the Xiao family, and even become an elder in the future.
Therefore, his words are still very important in the family.
Hearing this, the elders and deacons all nodded slightly.
At this time, the fourth elder who had never spoken said, "Ruohan, your words are also reasonable. So, how do you think you can work around?"
The four elders are the fairest person in the family and have always been neutral.
Xiao Ruohan said, "Given the fourth elder, I think, in order to be fair, we really should not directly deprive Xiao Yi of the qualifications to practice in Ziyun Cave, but we should not give it directly."
"Oh?" The Fourth Elder was slightly puzzled.
Xiao Ruohan continued, "Half a month later, on the eve of the opening of Ziyun Cave, the family will hold a martial arts contest. According to regulations, the top nine children will be eligible. I think, let Xiao Yi participate in this contest instead of directly Exempted from getting the spot, let him his spot with real strength."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes when he heard it, and Xiao Ruohan's words were like a bird.
The Fourth Elder nodded, looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, this is a relatively fair practice, what do you think?"
"I refuse." Xiao Yi blurted out.
The fourth elder frowned and said, "Xiao Yi, a good man from the Xiao family, shouldn't be so cringe. Martial artists should be courageous in the face of things, not panic in the face of danger, and establish a firm and unyielding heart. Achievement in martial arts practice."
Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "The training quota in Ziyun Cave was originally the right I deserved. Why should I take this extra step and agree to this request at the risk of losing it."
"In my opinion, if I really agree, it's not a question of flinching or not, it's just a fool's behavior."
When Xiao Yi said something, the elders and deacons who were present shook their heads, subconsciously thinking that Xiao Yi was a rascal.
"This..." The Fifth Elder and others cursed secretly, "Xiao Yi, this trash, is obviously a trash, where did you learn these rogue behaviors."
On the side, Xiao Ruohan was not in a hurry, still talking and laughing, and said, "Young Patriarch Xiao Yi, are you afraid?"
Xiao Yi looked directly at Xiao Ruohan and said, "It's not that I am afraid of not, but that I have agreed to your request and things will become risky. Once I fail in the competition, the price I have to pay is too great. "
"It's the same sentence, only a fool can do such a detrimental thing."
Xiao Ruohan frowned. If Xiao Yi kept insisting on the clan rules and kept rascals, he would have nothing to do if the oil and salt didn't get in.
At this time, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course, since this request was made by you, Xiao Ruohan. If you are willing to bear the same risks and costs as mine, it doesn't matter if I agree to your request. "
"It's just as you said, fair, I can't just be a fool, you have to follow the fool."
"Crude." Xiao Ruohan frowned as he listened to Xiao Yi's "stupid hat".
"What kind of risks and costs do you want me to bear?" Xiao Ruohan asked.
In fact, Xiao Ruohan was happy at this time. As long as Xiao Yi was willing to accept the request, he would fall into the trap he designed step by step.
Xiao Ruohan is quite scheming.
"It's very simple." Xiao Yi said, "After half a month, I will participate in the family competition. If I lose, I will give up the quota for cultivation. If I win, then you Xiao Ruohan, you will give up this quota and not enter Ziyun Hole practice."
Xiao Yi said, suddenly stood up and came to Xiao Ruohan, with cold eyes in her eyes, and shouted, "Xiao Ruohan, do you dare?"
"I..." Xiao Ruohan was suddenly drunk by Xiao Yi, and almost blurted out, "Dare". But he reacted immediately and became silent.
Among the children of the family who can rank in the top ten of the family today, the weakest are the six levels of the Mortal Realm.
It stands to reason that with Xiao Yi's meagre strength, it is absolutely impossible to win in half a month.
However, Xiao Ruohan still hesitated. Because the Ziyun Cave practice once every three years was extremely important, and even had a great impact on his future practice.
The best time for a warrior to lay the foundation is under 18 years old. He is 17 years old this year, and it is impossible to wait for Ziyun Cave to open again three years later.
Therefore, this training quota is of great significance to him, and he dare not agree to it at will.
"Why, Xiao Ruohan, are you afraid?" Xiao Yi said aggressively.
It was the same phrase ‘Are you afraid?’ when Xiao Yi uttered it, but it hit Xiao Ruohan, a genius in the face like a slap in the face.
"What is a famous genius in the Xiao family, in my opinion, Xiao Yi, you are just a scam."
"What are you talking about? Xiao Yi, you little trash, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Ruohan has always been arrogant. He grew up under the aura of genius when he was young.
Suddenly, there was a ‘pop’.
Xiao Yi slapped Xiao Ruohan without warning.
"Asshole, who do you say is rubbish?" Xiao Yi slapped and slapped, and shouted angrily.
"You...do you dare to hit me?" Xiao Ruohan couldn't react.
He never imagined that he was a Seventh Level of the Mortal Realm, Xiao Yi dared to do something at him, and slapped himself in the public.
When he felt the fiery pain on his face, he immediately reacted. He was furious and showed murderous intent, "Little waste, you dare to hit me, I will kill you!"
For him, a genius who has attracted much attention, it is a very shameful thing to be slapped in the face by Xiao Yi, a trash.
"Do you dare?" Xiao Yi was not afraid at all, did not even flinch, and shouted angrily.
"I am the Young Patriarch of the Xiao family, second only to the Patriarch, and equal to the elders. You Xiao Ruohan is just an ordinary child, but you dare to insult me ​​as ‘trash’.
"Four elders." Xiao Yi looked at the four elders on the side and asked, "According to the family rules, the children of the family don't respect the elders. What should I do if I put them below."
The fourth elder replied truthfully, "If it is light, it will be held for thirty, and if it is heavy, it will be confined for a month. If the situation is more serious, it will be expelled from the Xiao family."
"Okay." Xiao Yi sneered and said, "Xiao Ruohan, there is something for you to move me."
"You...you..." Xiao Ruohan gritted his teeth and almost died of anger.
The Xiao family has such a clan rule, but as long as it is not too excessive, the elders generally don't care too much about it.
As for the Young Patriarch, the previous generations of Young Patriarchs were the first in the younger generation of the family, and it is impossible for the following crimes to occur.
And Xiao Yi is an odd number, the most abolished Young Patriarch of the Xiao Family.
Moreover, in the past, he always relented and was useless, which made the children of other families not pay attention to his young family.
But now Xiao Yi, with an extraordinary mind and decisiveness, would naturally use all available advantages to deal with Xiao Ruohan.
The title of the Young Patriarch is one point, and the title of the Third Elder is also one point.
With that heavy slap just now, Xiao Yi slapped Yiyi.
"I will ask you again, dare you not!" Xiao Yi shouted, "If you dare not, stop talking nonsense in front of Lao Tzu."
"Little...I dare not." Xiao Ruohan subconsciously wanted to scold'little trash', but stopped in time and shouted angrily, "Xiao Yi, I promise you. After half a month, if you win, I will give up This time the training quota."
"Okay." Xiao Yi grinned with a smug sneer, "All the elders and deacons present testify that this matter is settled and cannot be changed."
...
The elders' meeting that had been deadlocked for a whole day ended with a confrontation between the two most famous children in the family.
Of course, Xiao Ruohan is famous; but Xiao Yi is not famous.
....
In the mansion of the fifth elders, the fifth elders looked worried and said, "Ruohan, you promised that little trash, you were a little more impulsive."
"Don't worry, father." Xiao Ruohan said confidently, "That little trash is only the first level of the mortal realm, and the strength of the sixth level of the mortal realm is far from each other. You think that little trash might be different from each other. Win?"
"Unless." Xiao Ruo said with a cold smile, "unless he can be promoted to the sixth level of the mortal realm in half a month, but martial arts training is so difficult. I went from the fifth level of the mortal realm to the sixth level of the mortal realm, and it took a full year. Time, let alone a heavy mortal realm. Half a month, what can that little waste do.
"Yes." The Fifth Elder nodded, immediately relieved, and said, "I was too cautious. However, why the guy Yang Fu hasn't taken any action, almost disrupted our plan for tonight."
Xiao Ruohan's face was gloomy, thought for a moment, and said, "Although Yang Fu is a well-known assassin, but he still only has the Ninth Level of the Mortal Realm, I am afraid it will be difficult to sneak into the Xiao family."
They didn't know that Yang Fu had already died in Xiao Yi's hands.
"Anyway, now that little waste has fallen into our calculations, and within a few months, he will be dead."
"Hahahaha." In the mansion, there were bursts of laughter from Xiao Ruohan and his son.
