Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1167 1168: Xiao Xin's Fury

"Really? Brother Xiao, that's great!" Xiao Feng jumped up, while Xiao Zhenshan struck while the iron was hot: "Feng'er, hurry up and bow to your master!"

As soon as he said that, Xiao Feng immediately understood: "Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"

With that, Xiao Feng's knees softened and he was about to kneel, but an indistinct aura gently lifted him up, leaving a trace of astonishment on his face.

Xiao Tianyu spoke with a smile: "I'm just giving you a few pointers, no need to make it so grand."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes flickered as he glanced at Xiao Zhenshan.

Xiao Zhenshan laughed heartily: "Since little brother is unwilling to take my grandson as a disciple, that's only natural. Even just getting a few pointers from you is enough for Feng'er to benefit for a lifetime!"

"Not at all!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand. He was also planning to stay at the Xiao Family for a few days. The reason was simple. First, although the Xiao Family wasn't some prestigious clan, it gave him a sense of home; second, the Xiao Family members were especially hospitable and had no schemes, which made Xiao Tianyu feel a fondness for them.

Anyway, to Xiao Tianyu, delaying a few days before going to the Endless Sea was nothing.

As for Xiao Ziyan, he believed that once something happened, that Li Tian on Earth would definitely find a way to inform him.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu stayed at the Qin Family, but in recent days, he hadn't been idle. He had been constantly asking Xiao Zhenshan about things. After all, to Xiao Tianyu, this was an unknown world he had never been to. Even if it was small in size, it didn't mean there were no experts.

Of course, in these few days he not only learned about the Nine Emperors of the Unparalleled Realm, but also the general geography of the Unparalleled Realm. Moreover, whenever he had time, Xiao Tianyu would personally instruct Xiao Feng, and for Xiao Feng, this was a stroke of great fortune.

In these days, under Xiao Tianyu's guidance, Xiao Feng's progress could be described as soaring. All his major Martial Arts intents had improved. When he was stuck at a bottleneck, a slight hint from Xiao Tianyu would make everything suddenly clear and the breakthrough would come naturally.

On this day, Xiao Xin had also become familiar with Xiao Tianyu. Seeing that Xiao Tianyu was no longer that shy, their relationship could be said to be quite close.

Xiao Tianyu also treated her as a younger sister.

However, the sibling pair Xiao Xin and her brother had quite a pitiful background. Their parents had both fallen not long after they were born, dying in a ruin while searching for treasure.

Thus, the two siblings were raised entirely by Xiao Zhenshan.

In the quiet courtyard, Xiao Feng was practicing the Heroic Spear. Every thrust of his spear shone brilliantly, the forceful wind raging, with a faint feeling of piercing through everything.

Xiao Tianyu sat there, watching Xiao Feng practice his spear. After a while, Xiao Xin stepped lightly like a lotus and came over to Xiao Tianyu with a tray of tea, smiling softly: "Brother Xiao, please have some tea!"

"Mm." Xiao Tianyu nodded, took the tea without being polite, took a light sip, then said to Xiao Feng, who was in the middle of his practice: "Stop."

"Brother Xiao, is there a problem?" Qin Feng stopped and asked Xiao Tianyu. Xiao Tianyu nodded: "There's a huge problem!"

"..." Xiao Feng was speechless. He felt that his Spear Technique was already flawless, but Xiao Tianyu walked up to him and said, "Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs, it looks good, but is it useful?"

"I..." For a moment, Xiao Feng didn't know how to respond.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "For a spear user, when you thrust, there are three key points you can't leave: fast, vicious, accurate. Once you make a move, you must hit the target at the fastest speed. But you? All those messy, unnecessary moves can be ignored. Just remember these three points."

"Also, when you make a move, it's to use the fastest speed and greatest power to make your opponent fall beneath your spear in the first instant!" Xiao Tianyu's words were like pearls falling onto jade. Beside him, Xiao Xin smiled lightly: "Xiao Feng, Brother Xiao is doing all this for your own good. You need to work hard and mustn't let Brother Xiao's painstaking efforts go to waste!"

Hearing that, Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at Xiao Xin, and Xiao Xin giggled.

"Gloating over my misfortune!" Xiao Feng said.

"I'm just talking about the matter itself, okay!" With that, Xiao Xin stepped lightly over to Xiao Tianyu, slipped her jade-like hand around his arm, and said, "Brother Xiao, let's go eat!"

"..." Xiao Feng was very depressed. Not calling him to eat—was this still his sister?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Xin rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng and continued, "Your job is to cultivate properly, understand? As for meals, I'm afraid you won't have any for the next few days!"

With that, Xiao Xin hooked her arm around Xiao Tianyu's and walked away, leaving Xiao Tianyu with a face full of black lines. This pair of siblings?

Then, Xiao Tianyu asked Xiao Xin, "Do you have any wishes?"

"Wishes?"

"Mm?" Xiao Tianyu nodded. Xiao Xin's beautiful eyes shimmered: "My wish is that Grandpa stays healthy and my little brother becomes a Martial King!"

"That's all?" Xiao Tianyu was a bit stunned. Such an innocent little girl.

"What else?" Xiao Xin smiled lightly and continued, "A Martial King would have a place in Mountain and Sea City. That way, no one would dare bully the Xiao Family!"

"You mean, someone is bullying the Xiao Family?" Xiao Tianyu's brows furrowed slightly, while Xiao Xin hesitated and said, "N-no one."

"Really no one?" From Xiao Xin's beautiful eyes, Xiao Tianyu could tell that this little girl wasn't telling the truth. At this moment, Xiao Feng's voice came: "My sister is lying!"

"Xiao Feng, shut up!" Xiao Xin snapped.

But Xiao Feng ignored her and continued, "Now that Brother Xiao is one of us, so what if he knows? What can't I say?"

"Xiao Feng, say that again if you dare?" Compared to Xiao Feng, Xiao Xin was more sensible. She knew very well that even if they told him, Xiao Tianyu wouldn't be able to help, and might even be dragged down by them. That was why she didn't want to say it.

After all, the other party was simply not someone the Xiao Family could afford to offend, so her own fate couldn't be in her own hands.

So Xiao Xin said to Xiao Tianyu, "Brother Xiao, ignore him. Let's go eat!"

"Alright." Xiao Tianyu nodded and followed Xiao Xin into the main hall.

The dishes on the table were mostly vegetables, though there was some meat. It wasn't exactly a grand feast, but it made Xiao Tianyu feel very grounded. Dishes like these seemed like something he could only eat back on Earth.

"Little brother, please sit!" Seeing Xiao Tianyu arrive, Xiao Zhenshan made an inviting gesture. Xiao Tianyu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. Xiao Zhenshan continued, "These past days, thank you very much for guiding Feng'er!"

"From now on, just call me Tianyu." Xiao Tianyu said heartily to Xiao Zhenshan.

"Alright!" Xiao Zhenshan nodded.

Xiao Tianyu went on, "The reason Xiao Feng has improved so quickly is because he is very talented. It really isn't my merit."

"Tianyu, you're too modest!" Hearing Xiao Tianyu's words, Xiao Zhenshan was especially happy. He continued, "In your opinion, does my grandson have hope in the future to..."

"As long as he works hard, becoming a Martial Venerable shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Clang~

Before Xiao Tianyu had even finished speaking, the cup in Xiao Zhenshan's hand fell to the ground. He stared at Xiao Tianyu in horror. A Martial Venerable—he hadn't even dared to think about that. What a joke, there wasn't a single Martial Venerable in Mountain and Sea City.

Because of that, he naturally didn't believe Xiao Tianyu's words. In his view, Xiao Tianyu was at most a Martial King expert. Saying such things was a bit too exaggerated.

Beside them, Xiao Xin cast a sideways glance at Xiao Tianyu and suddenly laughed: "Brother Xiao, with how cowardly my brother is, he can become a Martial Venerable in the future? The way you talk is really too..."

"Xin'Er, don't be rude!" Xiao Zhenshan snorted. Xiao Tianyu waved his hand: "It's fine. She doesn't see me as an outsider, so she speaks her mind."

"Big Brother, you still have the mood to eat?" At this moment, a figure walked into the hall and directly ignored Xiao Tianyu.

This person was none other than Xiao Feng's second granduncle, Xiao Zhan.

After he arrived, a trace of displeasure flashed in Xiao Zhenshan's eyes, while Xiao Xin's face turned slightly pale, as if she realized something.

Of course, her expression was clearly caught by Xiao Tianyu. Could it be that something really had happened to the Xiao Family?

Immediately, Xiao Zhenshan snorted coldly: "What are you doing here?"

"Big Brother, that's a bit cold. I'm thinking about the Xiao Family's future. Look at me, I've been running around outside these days, I've gotten thinner!" Xiao Zhan said solemnly, "This matter—I finally managed to get it done!"

"Get out!" Xiao Xin suddenly shouted. The other party was her second granduncle, someone she should respect, yet she was furious.

Xiao Zhan just smiled indifferently: "The other party is the City Lord's son. His favor toward you is your blessing. And the Xiao Family will rise because of this as well. Tell me, little girl, having such a match, isn't that good for you?"

This, perhaps, was the tragedy of being the number one beauty of Mountain and Sea City.
