Ji Tianxing's attitude had always been casual, neither too close nor too far.
He had the aloofness of a peerless genius, but also the dignity of an expert.
To Xiao Ling`er, this had a special attraction.
She couldn't help but want to get closer to Ji Tianxing and understand him better.
Especially when Ji Tianxing looked at her. His eyes were as clear as water, without any surprise or lust.
This made her admire him even more, but also a little disappointed.
After all, she was the publicly acknowledged number one beauty in the Xiao Clan, the most outstanding among the young women.
Many young men in the Xiao Clan admired her very much. Some were secretly in love with her, and some were openly pursuing and pestering her.
Ji Tianxing saw that Xiao Ling`er was a little dazed, as if she was thinking about something. He asked, "Why did you follow me here?"
Xiao Ling`er came back to her senses and answered subconsciously, "Of course, I want to thank you in person …"
Before she could finish, Ji Tianxing raised his hand and interrupted her. He asked again, "Other than that?"
"Uh …" Xiao Ling`er was stunned for a moment, and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
She secretly looked at Ji Tianxing and asked tentatively, "Big Brother Tianxing, can I sit down and chat with you?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment and nodded. "Feel free."
Xiao Ling`er was a little excited, and she sat down beside him with a face full of smiles.
Ji Tianxing's easygoing and approachable made her feel relaxed and no longer nervous.
She turned her head to look at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Big Brother Tianxing, I heard that you are Uncle Xiao Han's nephew, but I have never seen you before. You didn't grow up in the Xiao Clan, right? "
"Of course not."
Xiao Ling`er's eyes flickered with quick-wittedness. She asked, "Then can you tell me about the outside world? What's it like?"
"The outside world …" Ji Tianxing paused for a moment and smiled. "It's very exciting and very complicated."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ling`er. "You seem to yearn for the outside world?"
"Of course!" Xiao Ling`er nodded without hesitation and said, "It is not just me. Most of the Xiao Clan disciples are not willing to stay here. They all want to go out and adventure.
Men wanted to roam the world and establish their careers. They wanted to become a great hero like Uncle Xiao Han, a peerless expert.
As for me … I just want to see the scenery outside, make more friends, and find the perfect lover in my heart. "
Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "Miss Ling 'er, it's not good for you to be so straightforward, right? Girls should be more reserved. "
"Uh …" Xiao Ling`er was also slightly embarrassed as she asked with a slightly red face, "Big Brother Tianxing, do you think that I'm … a little bold and unrestrained?"
"That's not it," Ji Tianxing shook his head and said calmly, "You're just a simple and straightforward person."
Xiao Linger nodded in agreement and said, "Third Grandpa often says this as well. He even says that if I go outside, I'll surely suffer a loss.
Unfortunately, I may not have the chance to see the outside world.
My wish of more than ten years is about to be shattered. "
Her tone was somewhat gloomy and sad. Her tone was somewhat helpless and angry.
Ji Tianxing tilted his head and looked at her. "What's wrong? Are you worried that you won't be able to pass the exam and get into the top two? "
"So you also know about the Holy Fire Festival's exam?" Xiao Ling`er blinked her big eyes and said with a somewhat resentful tone, "Big Brother Tianxing, actually, if everyone takes the exam fairly, I still have the confidence to get into the top two.
After all, my talent and strength can be ranked in the top three among the younger generation.
However, Xiao Chong and Xiao Xue … those three fellows just now, they actually used magical artifacts to cheat! "
Speaking up to here, her tone was full of helplessness as she muttered, "You also know that a low-grade soul level magical artifact is several times stronger than a magical artifact.
Xiao Chen and I are only slightly stronger than Xiao Chong and the others. How could we possibly block the power of a magical artifact? "
Ji Tianxing immediately understood her worry and anger. He asked despite knowing the answer, "Didn't you guys get the tailbone and eyeball of the Cloud-Spotted Beast? Why didn't you let Third Elder refine a magical artifact for you? "
Xiao Ling`er shook her head and said with a heart full of worry, "Third Grandfather's internal injuries have relapsed. His condition is very bad. He is already in so much pain. How could we cause him more trouble?"
Ji Tianxing asked back, "So, you would rather accept the result of failing the exam than aggravate Third Elder's injuries?"
Xiao Ling`er nodded and said, "Xiao Chong and Xiao Xue aren't from the third branch. Of course, they wouldn't care about Third Grandfather's condition. However, we can't do that …"
Hearing her say this, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but look at her again. A hint of admiration flashed through his eyes.
Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the kindness and care of human nature was always worthy of praise and admiration.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the cobblestone path beside the lake.
Two handsome young men walked out side by side. As they walked, they whispered to each other.
One of them was wearing a white robe, and the other was wearing a red robe. They were Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke.
When Ji Tianxing raised his head and looked at them, they also stopped and saw Ji Tianxing and Xiao Ling`er in the pavilion.
Xiao Chong was startled. His pale face immediately revealed a disdainful sneer. He said with a disdainful tone, "Oh my, everyone thought that the number one beauty, Xiao Ling`er, was pure as ice and pure as jade.
I didn't expect that Xiao Ling`er also had feelings for love. She met her lover in broad daylight and hid here to whisper sweet nothings … Tsk tsk tsk! "
Xiao Chong's eyes were very sinister, and his tone was also very strange. It was unbearable.
Xiao Ke glanced at Ji Tianxing and curled his lips. "Xiao Ling`er, there are so many young talents in the Xiao Clan's main branch. For example, Xiao Chong and I, but you didn't choose any of them.
In the end, you chose a branch disciple from outside. Aren't you inserting a flower into cow dung? "
After saying that, he even cast a contemptuous look at Ji Tianxing and shouted coldly, "Brat, this is the Xiao Clan. It's already an honor for you, a branch disciple, to be able to return here.
You better behave yourself and don't have any improper thoughts. Otherwise, I'll throw you out! "
How could Xiao Ling`er tolerate the two of them slandering her like this?
She stood up and scolded with a frosty face, "Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke! You two bastards, don't slander me and sully my innocence! "
Xiao Chong curled his lips and said with a strange tone, "Little Sister Ling`er, don't exaggerate! I didn't even touch the corner of your clothes. How can I sully your innocence? Could it be that I use my eyes? "
"You … Xiao Chong, you're courting death!" Xiao Ling`er was so furious that she almost went berserk. Dazzling true essence surged all over her body, and she was about to make a move immediately.
As a pure girl, how could she be humiliated and molested in front of her like this?
