Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke were stunned. Even when they heard Xiao Han's name, they didn't take it to heart.
The two of them endured the pain and humiliation as they stumbled out of the garden and left Tingfeng Garden.
Xiao Han flicked his sleeves and gradually restrained his anger. He walked into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Xiao Ling`er saw him and quickly stood up. She bowed obediently and said, "Ling`er greets Uncle!"
Xiao Han didn't take it to heart. He just nodded and walked to Ji Tianxing. He said apologetically, "Tianxing, the First Elder and I were discussing the Holy Fire Festival and delayed some time.
I didn't expect that not long after I left, those two little bastards dared to humiliate you. I'm really sorry … "
Obviously, Xiao Han was worried that Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke would anger Ji Tianxing and cause him to harbor resentment.
If he caused trouble in the Xiao Clan, the entire Xiao Clan wouldn't have peace.
The Duanmu Clan and Murong Clan were examples. Xiao Han was very clear about Ji Tianxing's terrifying power.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said calmly, "You don't have to take it to heart. Among the younger generation, the one who can humiliate me hasn't been born yet."
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. He smiled and nodded. "That's right. In this world, who has the right to humiliate you?
Blame those two little bastards for being blind. They're really frogs at the bottom of a well. They actually dared to be so presumptuous.
Tianxing, this matter is also because you're magnanimous and didn't lower yourself to their level … "
Xiao Ling`er stood at the side and stared at Xiao Han and Ji Tianxing with her big clear eyes. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She was very smart. Of course, she could see that Xiao Han's attitude toward Ji Tianxing was very respectful. It didn't seem like a senior to a nephew. It was more like a friend of the same generation.
This made her very confused. She couldn't understand the reason.
Xiao Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Tianxing didn't take it to heart.
He sat down beside Ji Tianxing and asked doubtfully, "Tianxing, who is this lady? Why are you here? "
Ji Tianxing chuckled. "Logically speaking, this lady is your niece. You should be more familiar with her than me, right?
I was bored wandering around Tingfeng Garden alone, so I decided to chat with her when I saw her here. "
Xiao Han said awkwardly, "I haven't been back for more than twenty years. How would I know these juniors?"
Xiao Ling`er was extremely quick-witted. She hurriedly bowed and explained, "Uncle Xiao Han, I'm called Xiao Ling`er. My father is your cousin, called Xiao Jianlong. You should remember, right?"
Only then did Xiao Han come to a realization. Looking at Xiao Ling`er in disbelief, he said with a nod, "So, it's Yilong's daughter! Who would have thought that after not seeing him for more than twenty years, Yilong's daughter has already grown up and is still so beautiful … this brat must have married a beautiful wife! "
Xiao Ling 'er nodded repeatedly and said with a face full of pride, "Uncle, you should also know my mother. She is Xiao Yingmin from the ninth branch."
Xiao Han stroked his beard with a faint smile and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course I know! Back then, I cultivated with your parents. At that time, your father took great care of your mother, circling around her all day. I didn't think that the two of them really got married … sigh, several decades have passed in a flash! "
Talking about the past, Xiao Han revealed a look of reminiscence, full of sighs and emotions.
Ji Tianxing listened silently by the side, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time to adjust the atmosphere.
Xiao Ling`er got familiar with Xiao Han very quickly, calling him uncle affectionately.
Xiao Han was also rather fond of her and treated her like his own niece.
Ji Tianxing saw that the time was ripe and said to Xiao Han, "Oh right, Miss Ling`er was still talking to me earlier, saying that she has something to ask of you.
Now that you're all present, let Miss Ling`er tell you personally. "
Xiao Han nodded with a smile and asked, "Ling`er, what is it? Feel free to say it?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ling`er was also stunned. She stared blankly at Ji Tianxing and thought to herself, When did I say these words to him?
Ji Tianxing smiled at her and reminded her, "Miss Ling`er, didn't you say just now that the Holy Fire Festival's assessment is unfair and that some people can borrow the power of Dharma treasures?"
Xiao Ling`er suddenly understood and cast a grateful look at him. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's it!"
She grabbed Xiao Han's arm and pleaded pitifully, "Uncle, I heard that you're in charge of supervising this year's Holy Fire Festival's assessment, and you also have to guide the top two disciples in the assessment.
I don't ask you to help me with anything, but I hope that you can change the assessment rules and prohibit everyone from using Dharma treasures. This will be fair to everyone … "
Xiao Han frowned and asked, "Ling`er, the Holy Fire Festival is a tradition of the Xiao Clan, and the assessment is also a rule set by the Old Ancestor. How can I have the authority to change it?
Why don't you tell me what happened? "
Thus, Xiao Ling`er narrated the whole story of the matter in full detail.
After Xiao Han finished listening, he frowned with a grave expression. "No wonder the Third Elder's condition is so bad! This is really infuriating!
But the Third Elder doesn't know that two of the three juniors he helped with heart are mischievous villains! "
After a moment of silence, he sighed with a heart full of worry and said, "Ling`er, I can understand your feelings, but I can't do anything about changing the assessment rules.
The Third Elder's body is already so bad, and he definitely can't help you refine Dharma treasures.
How about this, I'll help you refine Dharma treasures … No, it's the Holy Fire Festival three days later. I can't make it in time even if I rush now! "
"Ah?" Xiao Ling`er immediately revealed a face full of disappointment and said with tears in her eyes, "Uncle, you're the Donglin Divine General. Could it be that even you can't help us?"
"Sigh …" Xiao Han sighed deeply and was somewhat helpless.
Ji Tianxing timely interrupted and reminded, "Lord Divine General, you have so many soul tools and Dharma treasures. You can temporarily lend two to them."
"That won't do!" Xiao Han and Xiao Ling`er rejected in unison.
Xiao Ling`er pouted and said, "If we do that, it's also cheating. The nature is even worse than Xiao Chong and Xiao Xue!"
Xiao Han also nodded and said, "Yes, the assessment rules are that we can't rely on external forces, including other people's Dharma treasures and spirit pets."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
He suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lord Divine General, since the assessment rules can't be changed, then if Miss Ling`er wants to win, she must use Dharma treasures.
Moreover, this Dharma treasure can only come from the Third Elder. Only this way can it be considered fair and not cause controversy, right? "
Xiao Han nodded and said, "That's right, exactly so! However, you've also seen the Third Elder's body condition … "
Ji Tianxing revealed an unfathomable smile and said with a playful tone, "If the Third Elder's injuries suddenly recover and he can recover his vitality tonight, then can he refine two Dharma treasures before the Holy Fire Festival?"
Xiao Han said with a certain tone, "This isn't a problem. The Third Elder has studied refining for his entire life. It's not difficult to refine two low-grade soul rank Dharma treasures within three days.
However, even I'm helpless with the Third Elder's injuries. How can he suddenly recover?
