Chapter 89: Xiao Yan who is in despair
"Xiao Ling, Dou Disciple, Six Star! Level: Intermediate!"
"Xiao Mei, Dou Disciple, Seven Star! Level: High!"
"Xiao Ning, Dou Disciple, Eight Star! Level: High!"
"..."
The huge stone training ground was filled with more than one hundred young men, and a clamor of voices rose to the sky.
On the high platform to the left of the training ground, there were some members of the Xiao family seated, and in the center were the Clan Head Xiao Zhan and the three elders, as well as some important figures.
Looking at the energetic boys and girls on the stage, the Grand Elder had a smile of happiness on his face, especially after seeing his grandson Xiao Ning, he could not hide the smile on his face, after laughing for a while, the Grand Elder suddenly said to Xiao Zhan, who was beside him.
"Haha, our clan has become quite strong since Xiao Ming sent back those Qi Methods and Dou Techniques! There are also very good seeds, don't you think, Xiao Zhan?".
"Hmph!" Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Family Clan Head who stood beside him, coldly snorted without saying anything.
Ever since Xiao Ming had asked Xiao Shan to send them some high-level techniques and pills, the Xiao Family's strength had increased tremendously, and several Dou Grandmasters had emerged in the clan.
Last year, Xiao Shan even returned once, and by then he was already a Dou Spirit, directly intimidating the big and small families in Wu Tan City.
It could be said that the Xiao family at this time was now the supreme lord of Wu Tan City, and in this sense, the Grand Elder was right.
However, he knew that the Grand Elder did not have good intentions, and there was something in his words, by saying that there were many good seeds, he was only trying to praise his grandson Xiao Ning and mock his son Xiao Yan.
Although he intended to reprimand him, the Grand Elder was so insidious that he did not name his son directly, so Xiao Zhan could only pretend that he had not heard him.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan ignored him, the Grand Elder laughed and no longer teased him, who made him in a good mood today? Xiao Ning had already reached eight-star Dou Disciple and could now be sent to Jia Nan Academy to study.
With Xiao Ming and Xiao Shan there, he should be able to grow even faster, and might be able to surpass him and become a Dou Spirit powerhouse very soon.
Add to that a Xiao Yu who was already at Jia Nan Academy, all of his grandchildren had a good future, so he couldn't help but feel happy.
Just because the Grand Elder didn't want to tease, didn't mean the others didn't.
The second elder, who wore a black robe, stroked his beard and said slowly.
"Speaking of good seeds, the "second genius" of our Xiao Family, Xiao Yan, has spent a lot of the family money, but has he been cured or not?"
"What do you mean by that!" The Second Elder named his son, causing Xiao Zhan's face to turn cold.
"What do I mean? The meaning is very simple, even if I tell you to stop treating him, it's a waste of time, the previous year, you privately asked Xiao Ming for a fourth-tier pill recipe on behalf of the family to find a fourth-tier alchemist, but the result was that it was useless and the pill recipe was wasted. If we had exchanged it for resources, the family would have produced many more experts, and you waste it like this! Shame on you!"
At the end of his speech, the Second Elder's expression was a little bitter, obviously a bit resentful that a high-level pill recipe was wasted.
"Heh, don't forget who the Clan Head is! As Clan Head, I have the right to write to all clan members on behalf of the clan, and I'm also authorized to use the clan's resources in a reasonable manner. Since Xiao Ming had Xiao Shan bring the pill recipe to us, then I can use it!"
"Xiao Zhan! The Xiao Clan is not just your Xiao Clan, and since you're writing on behalf of the clan, those things should belong to the clan, not be your personal belongings!"
"You...!"
Just as the dispute in the stands tended to expand a bit, a voice came from the center of the training ground.
"Next, Xiao Yan!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Zhan's face was stunned and he turned to look at the young man standing at the edge of the training ground.
The elders on the sides also revealed slightly mocking smiles as they looked towards the center of the training ground.
After hearing this name, the boys and girls in the training ground also looked at the figure at the edge of the training ground, with a smile on their faces as if they were watching a show.
"Let's see if our 'great genius' is still in the three-star Dou Disciple."
"Genius? Come on, just call him waste."
"Hey, keep your voice down, don't let the Clan Head hear you, or he'll punish you."
"Hehe, what are you afraid of? My father made his way to the Dou Grandmaster last year, and I'm just telling the truth, there's no reason for him to punish me."
As he passed through the crowd, piercing sounds were heard all around him, causing Xiao Yan to clench his palms and his entire face became expressionless.
Arriving next to the Magic Stone Tablet, he extended his own right palm and pressed it firmly against it as the Dou Qi in his body gushed out.
Dou Disciple, Three Star.
Looking at the four large characters that shone so brightly that they were even a little blinding, Xiao Yan had a hint of self-deprecation at the corner of his lips, and his tightly clenched palm caused the slightly sharp nails to dig deep into his palm due to the strong force, causing a burst of pain.
"Xiao Yan, Dou Disciple, Three Star! Level: low!"
A middle-aged man beside the Magic Stone Tablet glanced at the information displayed on the tablet and announced it with an indifferent tone.
The middle-aged man's words had just sounded and, as expected, a commotion filled with derision erupted in the crowded square.
"Three Star? Hehe, as expected, this 'genius' got stuck again this year!"
"Ai, this waste has really disgraced the clan."
"If it wasn't because the Clan Head is his father, this kind of waste would have been kicked out of the clan and left to his own devices, how could he have a chance to stay in the clan and eat and drink for nothing?"
"Sigh, that genius guy who was known in Wu Tan City in the past, how come he has fallen into such a state now?"
"Who knows, maybe he did something wrong and provoked the gods who brought down their wrath..."
On the stage, Xiao Zhan saw his son being ridiculed and a touch of pain appeared on his face.
On the stage, the scornful jeers and pitiful sighs coming from the surroundings fell on Xiao Yan's ears, which were like a wooden stake that remained in place, feeling as if a sharp thorn was being driven hard into his heart, causing his breathing to sharpen slightly.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, revealing a somewhat delicate and tender face. His coal-black eyes swept over the mocking companions around him, and the self-deprecation at the corner of his mouth seemed to have become even more bitter.
'These people, why are they so cruel and haughty? Maybe it's because three years ago they showed the humblest smile in front of me, so now, they seek to balance their mental stability.'
With a bitter smile, Xiao Yan turned around dejectedly and silently returned to the end of the line.
"Next, Xiao..."
"Wait, what's that!?"
Before the middle-aged man could finish his call, he was interrupted by the shriek of a young man pointing toward a direction in the sky.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and in the sky, a huge black shadow was heading their way.
The speed of the black shadow was very fast, and soon some people with good eyesight could see it clearly.
"It seems to be a magical beast!"
"Yes, it's a flying magic beast with wooden huts on it, it must be a flying magical beast of some great power."
"That's the flying magical beast of Jia Nan Academy! I saw it once during admissions."
"Jia Nan Academy? How did they appear in Wu Tan City, if it's not the admission date yet?"
There was a commotion among the crowd, and before they could understand, the flying magic beast in the sky reached the sky above the stone Training Ground and hovered in the air, its wings flapping, the wind surging, shaking the figures of some Xiao Clan people below to the point of almost falling to the ground.
The movement of the flying beast caused some commotion, but the people on board seemed to realize the situation and made the magical beast fly a little higher, so that no one would be hurt.
On the bleachers, Xiao Zhan and some elders who were already standing nervously were relieved to see this scene, and were about to step forward to ask the other party the reason for their visit when they heard a girl's voice coming from the sky.
"Xiao Ming, is this your clan? Why do your clan members look so weak?"
