"Ah …"
Just as Xiao Jihan was using all his strength to rush up the mountain peak, a dazzling light suddenly shot into his eyes. He saw the figure of a young man dressed in coarse hemp clothes rushing down the mountain peak under the bright morning sun. The dazzling light came from the young man's hand.
Xiao Jihan's eyes widened as his heart filled with shock. When the excited young man quickly passed by him, he finally saw the item in the young man's hand. It was the Xiao Family's token!
The dazzling light was the reflection of the golden "Xiao" word on the token!
Xiao Jihan knew what the token meant. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Chen Hao's back as a dark green ominous glint flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Jihan, 16 years old, was the strongest among the seventh generation of Xiao Family's outer sect disciples. He became a Xiao Family disciple at the age of 12 and used only four years to reach the seventh grade Martial Warrior realm. He had the potential to become an inner sect disciple of the Xiao Family before the age of 20. He was definitely a genius!
No matter what, Chen Hao would never have thought that before he even entered the Xiao Clan, he would already have an extremely powerful enemy!
The reason was because of a girl that Chen Hao did not even know — Xiao Jiyan!
…
"Senior Brother Jihan, I'm guessing that he will definitely become a Xiao Family disciple!"
When Chen Hao's mother asked Chen Hao to withdraw from the test, a slender and elegant girl, who looked like an angel, stood beside Xiao Jihan and looked at Chen Hao and his mother.
"Hmm? Why? "
"Confidence and courage. He has everything that Uncle Xiao Guan said!" Xiao Jiyan said, "Furthermore, he looks different from others … He's really good-looking … Hehe …"
The little girl smiled like a flower as she looked at Chen Hao in the arena and said unintentionally.
However, because of Xiao Jiyan's unintentional words, countless black lines appeared on Xiao Jihan's handsome face. As he stared at the little girl, who was still smiling at Chen Hao, he, who originally did not think much of Chen Hao, turned his head to carefully size him up. Just one look and he immediately felt a sense of danger.
This little girl was the Xiao Family's Third Young Miss, Xiao Jiyan. She was thirteen years old and had curved eyebrows like willow leaves and large, watery eyes. Although she was young, she was a beauty in the making. She was the most beloved daughter of the Xiao Family's Patriarch, Xiao Ding, and was about the same age as Chen Hao. The 16-year-old Xiao Jihan already had the ambition to capture her. Once he became the son-in-law of the Xiao Clan, his status in the future would be unimaginable, and the Xiao Clan's peerless martial arts would be at his fingertips.
On the other hand, Xiao Jiyan had unintentionally revealed a favorable impression of Chen Hao. In addition, the two of them were about the same age. In particular, Xiao Jihan saw a similar "ambition" in Chen Hao's eyes. This made Xiao Jihan feel a sense of danger.
However, at that time, Xiao Jihan did not really care. After all, although it was dangerous, it did not pose any threat to him. But now, Chen Hao's astonishing speed truly made Xiao Jihan feel threatened.
…
"Any threat must be nipped in the bud!" Xiao Jihan looked at Chen Hao's back and said coldly. This sentence was instilled in him by his wealthy father since he was young, and he had always believed in it as the truth.
"After the seventh generation of disciples, the first person to advance to the inner court will definitely be me, Xiao Jihan! Xiao Jiyan will also belong to me, Xiao Ji Han! No one else can have her! "
…
Looking at the astonished gazes of the youths, Chen Hao was exceptionally happy. He had already become a disciple of the Xiao Family, and these youths were still working hard to pass the test!
He never knew that he could run so fast. He only wanted to pass the test, but he never expected to be the first to reach the peak. When he saw the astonishment in everyone's eyes, he knew that he had done well. This sense of superiority made him feel his own worth for the first time. He was very happy that he could finally do something for his family.
Thinking of his crippled father who was bedridden all year round, thinking of his haggard mother who worked day and night, thinking of his pitifully thin brother and sister who did not have enough to eat … Chen Hao's eyes unknowingly filled with tears as he sprinted. However, his gaze became even more determined as he ran even faster!
He wanted to use the fastest speed possible to tell this good news to his family!
…
"Eh? Why is this kid back already? " The parents who were waiting in the martial arts arena suddenly saw the poor kid dressed in coarse hemp clothes running out from the door leading to the back of the mountain. "Haha … he must have been eliminated early. Look at him crying. What's the use of crying … how can a poor kid become a disciple of the Xiao Family? You have to know that my child needs two taels of silver to eat every day. Without a good body, how can he pass the Xiao Family's test … "
"Isn't that so? My child doesn't even need two taels of silver. He needs to eat ginseng and bird's nest every day …"
Walking into the martial arts arena, Chen Hao saw his mother who was looking around. There were three more people beside his mother and all of them were looking at him anxiously. Seeing this scene, Chen Hao, who was already in tears, felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He could not control his tears and they flowed down his face. He quickly ran towards them.
"Mother, Buttface, brother, sister, …" Chen Hao choked as he spoke.
"Brother! Boohoo … "Two pitifully thin boys and girls who were six or seven years old threw themselves into Chen Hao's arms at the same time and hugged him tightly. It was as if they were afraid of losing their brother as they cried loudly.
"Tianci, don't cry … It's okay that you didn't pass. It's good that you came back alive … Mother just wants you to be safe …" The middle-aged woman's tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. She hugged her children tightly and spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Tianci, I'm sorry … It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you … I made uncle and auntie worry …" A boy who was about the same age as Chen Hao and looked very simple and honest said in a low voice while scratching his head with a regretful look. Tears were swirling in his eyes. This boy was Chen Hao's only friend, Buttface.
"No, mother …" At this moment, Chen Hao realized that everyone was completely wrong.
"Don't say anymore. Mother knows. Let's go home … Don't make your father worry …"
"Hehe …" Just as Chen Hao was at a loss of what to do, a clear and melodious laughter that sounded like a silver bell rang in their ears.
Chen Hao's family and Buttface immediately looked over. They saw an angelic girl appear in front of them. She had thin curved eyebrows, big eyes, and a rosy white face. She was smiling sweetly at them.
"Why are you crying? This little brother has passed the test. You should be happy!" The girl's bell-like voice rang out again.
"Passed … passed … the test?"
The girl's voice was clearly heard by everyone. Not only Chen Hao's mother, brother, sister, and Buttface, but also the surrounding people all thought that they had heard wrongly. They all stared with their eyes wide open. The test was supposed to take eight hours. He came back in two hours. How could he have passed the test?
"This … is this true?" Chen Hao's mother asked uncertainly.
Chen Hao was about to speak when the girl took the lead again.
"Of course it's true. Look at what's in his hand?" The girl pointed at the token in Chen Hao's hand and said.
"This …"
"This is the token of our Xiao Family. Only the disciples who pass the test can get it. Hee, hee, I told you, you can do it!" The girl patted Chen Hao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Little brother, you should be happy. Why are you crying? By the way, what's your name? "
Glancing at the girl, Chen Hao hurriedly averted his gaze. His delicate and pretty face actually turned completely red as he stuttered, "I … I'm Chen Hao!"
"Chen Hao … Xiao Xianghao … It doesn't sound good! But … I'm sure you can get your real name back! " The girl seemed to be talking to herself. Suddenly, she smiled and said to Chen Hao, "My name is Xiao Jiyan. I'll be your senior sister from now on. Remember to call me senior sister … Hee, hee, I finally have a junior brother … OK, I'm going to cultivate. If you have any difficulties in the future, remember to ask me for help. I'm very powerful, hee, hee …"
After saying that, the girl skipped away like a happy angel.
"Xiao Jiyan …" Chen Hao murmured as he secretly looked at the back of the girl who had disappeared into the distance.
