Chapter 1-3 of "Fighting Against the Sky"

Chapter 1: The Falling Genius

"The power of struggle, three sections!"
Looking at the shining and even glaring five big characters on the testing magic stone monument, the young man's face remained expressionless, with a hint of self deprecation at the corner of his lips. The tightly gripped palm, due to its strong force, caused slightly sharp nails to deeply pierce into the palm, causing waves of piercing pain
"Xiao Yan, Dou Zhi Li, San Duan! Level: Low!" A middle-aged man beside the testing magic stone tablet glanced at the information displayed on the tablet and casually announced it
As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, there was no unexpected commotion of mockery in the crowded square.
"Three paragraphs? Hehe, as I expected, this' genius' has been standing still this year!"
"Hey, this trash has really ruined the face of the family."
"If it weren't for the clan leader being his father, this kind of useless person would have been driven out of the family long ago and left to fend for themselves. How could he have had the opportunity to stay in the family and eat and drink for free?"
"Alas, how could the once famous genius boy from Wutan City be so destitute now?"
"Who knows, maybe I did something wrong that angered the gods..."
The disdainful mockery and sighs of regret that came from around landed in the ears of the young man who stood still like a wooden stake, as if sharp thorns were piercing his heart, making him breathe slightly and rapidly.
The young man slowly lifted his head, revealing a somewhat delicate and tender face. His pitch black eyes swept over the mocking peers around him, and the self deprecation at the corner of his mouth seemed to have become even more bitter.
"Are these people so cruel and powerful? Perhaps it's because they once showed the most humble smile in front of them three years ago, so now they want to get it back..." With a bitter smile, Xiao Yan turned lonely and quietly returned to the last row of the team, his lonely figure, somewhat out of place with the world around him.
"Next, Xiao Mei!"
Listening to the shouts of the tester, a young girl quickly ran out of the crowd. As soon as the girl appeared, the nearby discussion became much quieter. A pair of slightly fiery eyes firmly locked onto the girl's cheeks
The young girl is only around fourteen years old, and although she may not be considered stunning, her childish little face contains a faint charm, a combination of purity and charm, and contradictions, making her the focus of attention in the audience
The girl quickly stepped forward, her little hand skillfully touching the pitch black magic stone monument, and then slowly closed her eyes
After the girl closed her eyes for a moment, a light shone again on the pitch black magic stone monument
"Douzhi Qi: Seven Sections!"
"Xiao Mei, Dou Zhi Qi: Seven dan! Level: Advanced!"
"Yeah!" The girl's cheeks lit up with a proud smile as she listened to the examiner's call for results
"Tsk tsk, the Qi of Seven dan Dou is really amazing. At this pace, it may only take three years at most for her to become a true fighter..."
"He is truly a seed level figure in the family..."
Listening to the waves of envy coming from the crowd, the smile on the girl's cheeks grew even more. Vanity is a temptation that many girls cannot resist
Smiling with several sisters, Xiao Mei suddenly looked through the crowd and stopped on the lonely figure outside the crowd
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Xiao Mei finally dispelled her past thoughts. The two of them are no longer in the same class. With Xiao Yan's performance in recent years, as an adult, she can only serve as a lower level member of the family at most. With excellent talent, she will become a strong member of the family's key cultivation, and her future can be said to be limitless.
"Sigh..." Xiao Mei let out an inexplicable sigh, and suddenly remembered the spirited young man from three years ago. At the age of four, he practiced Qi, at ten, he possessed the Qi of the Nine dan Dou, and at eleven, he broke through the Qi of the Ten dan Dou, successfully condensing the Dou cyclone and becoming the youngest Dou player in the family's century!
The young man of the past was confident and had immeasurable potential, which made countless young girls love him, including Xiao Mei in the past.
However, the path of genius seems to always be tortuous. Three years ago, this renowned genius boy suddenly received the most brutal blow in his life. Not only did he work hard to cultivate the Douzhi cyclone that had only condensed for more than ten years, but it disappeared overnight. Moreover, the Douzhi qi in his body also became eerie and decreasing with the passage of time.
The direct result of the disappearance of Dou Qi is the continuous retreat of its strength.
From the altar of genius, he fell overnight to a point where even ordinary people were inferior. This blow made the young man lose his soul from then on, and the name of genius was gradually replaced by disdain and ridicule.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall. This fall may never have the chance to get up again.
"Next, Xiao Xun'er!"
In the noisy crowd, the voice of the tester rang out again.
As these somewhat elegant names sounded, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and all eyes suddenly shifted.
At the gathering place of everyone's gaze, a young girl dressed in a purple dress stood elegantly, with a calm and innocent face that did not change at all due to the attention of the crowd.
The cold and indifferent temperament of a young girl is like the first blooming of a clear lotus. At a young age, she has already developed a refined temperament, which is hard to imagine. If she grows up in the future, how will the girl be truly beautiful
This girl in a purple dress, in terms of beauty and temperament, undoubtedly surpasses the previous Xiao Mei by a few points. No wonder everyone present is doing this kind of action.
Lotus steps moved slightly, and a girl named Xiao Xun'er walked up to the Rubik's Stone Stele. Her small hand reached out, and her purple sleeve, adorned with black and gold threads, slid down, revealing a delicate white wrist. She then lightly touched the stele
Slightly calm, on the stone tablet, a dazzling light once again bloomed.
"Douzhi Qi: Nine Sections! Level: Advanced!"
Looking at the font on the stone tablet, the scene fell into a moment of silence.
"... It's really terrifying! The first young person in the family is probably none other than Miss Xun'er." After the silence, the young people around couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, their eyes filled with awe
The Qi of Dou is a necessary path for every fighter. The Qi of the first stage of Dou is divided into one to ten sections. When the Qi of Dou reaches the tenth section in the body, it can condense the Qi of Dou and become a respected fighter!
In the crowd, Xiao Mei frowned and stared at the purple dress girl in front of the stone tablet, with a hint of jealousy flashing on her cheeks
Looking at the information on the stone tablet, the middle-aged tester beside him also showed a rare smile on his indifferent face. He respectfully said to the girl, "Miss Xun, in six months, you should be able to gather your fighting spirit. If you succeed, then at the age of fourteen, you will become a true fighter. You are the second person in the Xiao family in a hundred years!"
Yes, the second person, the first person, is Xiao Yan, who has shed his aura of genius.
"Thank you." The girl nodded slightly, and her plain little face did not show any joy due to his praise. She quietly turned around and slowly walked to the decadent young man at the back of the crowd, amidst the fervent attention of everyone
"Brother Xiao Yan." As she passed by the young man, the girl paused and respectfully bent over to Xiao Yan. Her beautiful pretty face revealed an elegant smile that made the surrounding girls jealous.
"Do I still have the right to let you call me that now?" Xiao Yan said bitterly as she looked at the pearl in front of her, which had grown into the most brilliant pearl in the family. She was one of the few people who still respected her even after her own downfall.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you once said to Xun'er before that you need to be able to put it down before you can pick it up and lift it freely. You are a free person!" Xiao Xun'er smiled and said softly, her slightly immature voice warming the heart and lungs.
"Hehe, a free spirited person? I can only say that. Do you see how I look now, like a free spirited person? And... this world doesn't belong to me in the first place," Xiao Yan said with a self deprecating smile, feeling dejected.
Faced with Xiao Yan's decadence, Xiao Xun'er's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly and said seriously, "Xiao Yan, although I don't know what's wrong with you, Xun'er believes that you will stand up again and regain your glory and dignity..." At this point, she paused slightly, her fair and pretty face showing a faint blush for the first time: "Xiao Yan, who was back then, was indeed very attractive..."
"Hehe..." Faced with the girl's undisguised candid words, the young man awkwardly smiled, but didn't say anything more. He didn't waste his time being promiscuous, but now he doesn't have the qualifications and mood to do so. He turned around and walked slowly outside the square, feeling lonely

Chapter 2 Douqi Continent
The moon is like a silver plate, with stars all over the sky.
On the top of the cliff, Xiao Yan lay diagonally on the grass, holding a piece of green grass in his mouth and chewing it slightly, letting the faint bitterness diffuse in his mouth
Raise some fair palms, block in front of me, and gaze through the gaps in my fingers, gazing at the huge silver moon in the sky.
"Ah..." Thinking of the afternoon test, Xiao Yan let out a light sigh, lazily withdrew his palms, rested his hands on his head, and his eyes were a bit dazed
"It's been fifteen years..." A low murmur suddenly came out of the boy's mouth without any boundaries.
In Xiao Yan's heart, there was a secret that only he knew: he was not a person from this world, or rather, Xiao Yan's soul did not belong to this world. He came from a blue planet called Earth. As for why he came here, he could not explain this strange experience. However, after living for a period of time, he still realized it later: he had traveled!
As he grew older, Xiao Yan also had a vague understanding of this continent
The mainland is called Douqi Continent, and there are no common magic genres in novels on the mainland. Douqi is the only main theme of the mainland!
On this continent, the cultivation of fighting spirit has almost reached its peak through the efforts of countless generations, and due to the continuous proliferation of fighting spirit, it has even spread to the common people. This has also led to the close relationship between fighting spirit and human daily life. Therefore, the importance of fighting spirit in the mainland has become irreplaceable!
Due to the extreme proliferation of Douqi, it has also led to the differentiation of countless Douqi cultivation methods from this main line. The so-called hand has its own length, and the resulting Douqi cultivation methods naturally have strengths and weaknesses.
After induction and statistics, Douqi Continent divides the level of Douqi cultivation into four levels and twelve levels from high to low: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang!
And each level is divided into three levels: initial, intermediate, and high!
The level of Douqi cultivation is also the key to determining the level of future achievements. For example, people who practice intermediate level Xuanqi cultivation are naturally a bit stronger than those of the same level who practice advanced level Huangqi cultivation.
The division of strength and weakness in Douqi Continent depends on three conditions.
Firstly, the most important thing is, of course, one's own strength. If one's own strength is only at the level of a Star Dou, even if you are practicing the Heavenly Level Rare Art, it will be difficult to defeat a Dou master who is practicing the Yellow Level Art.
Secondly, there is the cultivation method! A strong opponent of the same level, if your martial arts level is much higher than the opponent's, then in the competition, various advantages are known at a touch.
The last one is called Douji!
As the name suggests, this is a special skill that unleashes fighting spirit. Fighting skills are superior to those on the mainland and have different levels. Overall, they are also divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
There are countless fighting skills in the Douqi Continent, but most of the popular fighting skills that have been passed down are only around the yellow level. To obtain more advanced fighting skills, one must join a sect or a Douqi academy on the mainland.
Of course, some martial arts that have been passed down by predecessors through adventures, or have their own matching combat skills, these combat skills derived from the martial arts, when combined with each other, have stronger power.
By relying on these three conditions, one can determine which one is stronger or weaker. Overall, if one can possess high-level Douqi techniques, the benefits in the future are self-evident
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain advanced Douqi cultivation techniques. At most, the techniques passed down in the ordinary class are only Huangjie techniques. Some powerful families or small and medium-sized sects should have Xuanjie cultivation methods. For example, in the family where Xiao Yan belongs, the top-level technique is only qualified for cultivation by the clan leader: Brave Lion Angry Gang, which is a wind attribute and an intermediate level Douqi technique in Xuanjie.
Above the mystical level is the earthly level, but perhaps only those transcendent forces and great empires can possess this profound skill
As for Tianjie... it has not appeared for hundreds of years.
In theory, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain advanced martial arts. However, there is no absolute solution. The Douqi Continent has a vast territory, with thousands of ethnic groups standing tall. To the north of the continent, there are barbarian tribes that claim infinite power and can combine with animal souls. To the south of the continent, there are also various advanced Warcraft families with extremely high intelligence, as well as the dark race famous for its eerie and vicious nature
Due to the vastness of the region, there are also many unknown hermits. After their lives come to an end, they, who are introverted, may hide the martial arts they have created in their lifetime somewhere, waiting for those who are destined to take them. On the Douqi Continent, there is a saying that goes: If one day you fall off a cliff or cave, don't panic, take two steps forward, perhaps you will become a strong person!
This statement is not false. In the nearly thousand year history of the mainland, there are no stories that rely on adventures to become strong
The consequence of this story is that it has created a large number of dreamy people who wait by the cliff every day, preparing to jump off the cliff and achieve unparalleled martial arts. Of course, most of these people have returned with broken arms and legs
In short, this is a continent full of miracles and the creation of miracles!
Of course, in order to cultivate the Qi Fighting Scripts, one must at least become a true fighter before being qualified, and now Xiao Yan seems to be far away from that distance
"Pooh." As Xiao Yan spat out the grass roots in his mouth, he suddenly jumped up with a ferocious face and roared into the night sky, losing his composure. "Do you want to wear labor and capital over here and play with them like trash? Grass!"
In his past life, Xiao Yan was just an extremely ordinary member among ordinary beings, money, beauty, and these things were just two parallel lines with him, never intersecting. However, when he arrived at this land of fighting spirit, Xiao Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that his soul was much stronger than that of ordinary people due to the experience of two lifetimes!
You should know that in the Douqi Continent, the soul is innate, and perhaps it can become slightly stronger with age, but there is never any cultivation method that can cultivate the soul alone, even if it is a heavenly level cultivation method! This is common knowledge in Douqi Continent.
The strengthening of his soul also gave rise to Xiao Yan's cultivation talent, and similarly, it also created his name as a genius.
When an ordinary and mediocre person, after knowing that he has the capital to become countless people's attention, it is difficult to grasp his true intention without sufficient determination. It is obvious that Xiao Yan, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, did not have this superhuman level of determination. Therefore, after he began to cultivate his fighting spirit, he chose to become a remarkable genius, rather than gradually growing up in silence!
If nothing unexpected had happened, Xiao Yan might have been able to grow bigger and bigger under the name of genius. However, unfortunately, at the age of eleven, the name of genius was gradually stripped away by sudden changes, and genius became a laughingstock among passersby overnight!
After roaring a few times, Xiao Yan's emotions slowly calmed down, and his face once again returned to its usual desolation. At this point, no matter how angry he was, it was impossible to turn back the struggle that had come with hard cultivation.
Shaking his head bitterly, Xiao Yan felt a bit aggrieved in his heart. After all, he had no idea what had happened to his body. He checked it on a daily basis, but did not find anything wrong. His soul, as he grew older, became stronger and the speed at which he absorbed the fighting qi was even stronger than his peak state a few years ago. These conditions all showed that his talent had never diminished, but the fighting qi that entered his body disappeared completely without exception. The strange situation made Xiao Yan feel sad
With a gloomy sigh, Xiao Yan lifted his palm and found a black ring on his finger. The ring was very antique and made of unknown material, with some blurry patterns painted on it. It was the only gift his mother had given him before his death. He had been wearing it for ten years since the age of four, and his mother's relic made Xiao Yan also have a strong attachment to it. His finger gently caressed the ring, and Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, "These past few years have really disappointed his mother's expectations..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and smiled warmly at the pitch black forest, saying, "Father, are you here?"
Although there were only three stages of Dou Qi, Xiao Yan's soul perception was much sharper than that of a five-star fighter. When he mentioned his mother earlier, he noticed a slight movement in the forest.
"Hehe, Yan'er, it's so late, why are you still staying here?" After a moment of silence in the forest, the man's concerned laughter came out.
The branches swayed and a middle-aged man jumped out, with a smile on his face, gazing at his son standing under the moonlight.
The middle-aged man was dressed in luxurious gray clothes, with a hint of majesty as he walked around like a dragon or a tiger. A pair of thick eyebrows on his face added a bit of courage to him. He was the current leader of the Xiao family and also the father of Xiao Yan, the Five Star Fighting Master, Xiao Zhan!
"Father, haven't you also rested yet?" Looking at the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan's smile grew even stronger. Although he had memories of his past life, the father in front of him had been doting on him in every way since he was born. After his downfall, his favor increased instead of decreasing. Such behavior made Xiao Yan willing to call him "father".
"Yan'er, are you still thinking about the afternoon test?" Xiao Zhan strode forward and smiled.
"Hehe, what's on your mind? It's just as expected." Xiao Yan shook his head in his youth, but his smile was somewhat forced.
"Sigh..." Looking at Xiao Yan's still somewhat delicate and delicate face, Xiao Zhan sighed and remained silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "Yan Er, are you fifteen years old?"
"Well, father."
"In another year, it seems like... it's time for the coming of age ceremony..." Xiao Zhan said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, father, one more year!" Xiao Yan's palm tightened slightly as he calmly replied. He naturally knew very well what the coming of age ceremony represented. As long as he passed the coming of age ceremony, he, who had no potential for cultivation, would be disqualified from entering the Douqi Pavilion to search for Douqi techniques. He would then be assigned to various industries of the family to take care of some common things. This is the family's rules, and even if his father is the clan leader, it cannot be changed!
After all, if you haven't become a fighter before the age of 25, you won't be recognized by your family!
"Sorry, Yan Er, if your fighting spirit fails to reach seven levels in a year's time, then my father will have to bear the pain to assign you to the family's industry. After all, my father is not alone in this family. Those old guys can wait for my father to make mistakes at any time..." Looking at the calm Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan sighed with some guilt.
"Father, I will work hard. In a year, I will definitely reach the Qi of Seven dan Dou!" Xiao Yan smiled and comforted.
"A year, four sections? Hehe, if it were in the past, maybe it was still possible, but now... there's hardly any chance..." Although he was comforting his father, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with a bitter smile of self deprecation.
Xiao Zhan, who was also very clear about Xiao Yan's background, could only sigh and respond. He knew how difficult it was to cultivate the four dan Dou Qi in a year. He patted his head lightly and suddenly smiled, saying, "It's getting late. Go back and rest. Tomorrow, there are important guests in the family, so don't be impolite."
"Noble guest? Who is it?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"I'll know tomorrow." Squeezing his eyes at Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan laughed and left, leaving behind a helpless Xiao Yan.
"Don't worry, father, I will do my best!" Xiao Yan looked up and murmured as he stroked the antique ring on his finger.
At the moment when Xiao Yan looked up, the black ancient ring in his fingers suddenly lit up with an extremely weak and eerie light, which disappeared in the blink of an eye without causing anyone to notice

Chapter 3 Guests

On the bed, the young man sat cross legged with his eyes closed, his hands making strange hand prints in front of him. His chest slightly undulated, breathing and inhaling, forming a perfect cycle. In the cycle of breath, a faint white airflow flowed through his mouth and nose, entering his body, warming his bones and body.

As the young man closed his eyes and practiced, the quaint black ring on his finger once again eerily emitted a faint glow, and then fell silent

"Huh..." The young man slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his eyes suddenly opened. A faint white light flashed through his pitch black eyes, which was the newly absorbed but not fully refined Douzhi Qi.

"The fighting energy that was finally cultivated is disappearing again... I, my grass!" Shen Shen sensed his body, and the young man's face suddenly became angry, with a slightly sharp voice cursing.

His fists clenched tightly together, and after a while, the young man smiled bitterly and shook his head. He crawled out of bed exhausted, stretching his slightly numb ankles and thighs. With only three stages of fighting energy, he had no ability to ignore various tiredness.

After briefly moving his body in the room, an elderly voice came from outside: "Third Young Master, the clan leader, please go to the hall!"

Third Young Master, Xiao Yan is the third eldest in the family, with two older brothers above him. However, they have already gone out for training and only occasionally return home at the end of the year. Overall, the two older brothers are also very kind to Xiao Yan, his younger brother.

"Oh," Xiao Yan casually agreed and changed into a new outfit. He walked out of the room and smiled at an old man in a green shirt outside, saying, "Let's go, Manager Mo."

Looking at the young man's innocent face, the old man in the green shirt nodded kindly. As he turned around, his turbid old eyes flashed a hint of imperceptible regret. Sigh, with the talent of the third young master before, he probably should have become an excellent fighter long ago, but unfortunately

Following the old butler through the backyard, he finally stopped outside the solemn welcome hall and respectfully knocked on the door before gently pushing it in.

The hall is very spacious, and there are also many people in it. Sitting at the top are Xiao Zhan and three elderly people with indifferent faces. They are the elders of the clan and have no less power than the clan leader.

Under the left hand of the four, sat some influential and powerful elders in the family, and beside them were also some young generations who had performed outstandingly in the family.

On the other side, there were three strangers sitting, probably the distinguished guests mentioned by Xiao Zhan last night.

A somewhat puzzled gaze swept over the three strangers. Among them, there was an old man wearing a moonlight white robe. The old man had a smile on his face and was full of energy. His slightly small eyes were shining brightly, and Xiao Yan's gaze shifted slightly downwards. Finally, he stopped at the old man's chest, his heart suddenly trembled. On the chest of the old man's robe, there was a silver light moon painted, surrounded by seven shining stars.

"Seven Star Fighting Master! This old man is actually a Seven Star Fighting Master? You can't judge his appearance!" Xiao Yan was greatly surprised. The old man's strength was even two stars higher than his father's.

People who can become masters of great battles are at least strong ones from the famous side. Such strength will attract any force to flock to it, and it's no wonder Xiao Yan was surprised to see such a high-level strong person suddenly.

Beside the old man sat a pair of young men and women, both wearing the same moon-white robes. The man was around twenty years old, with a handsome appearance and a tall figure, which was very charming. Of course, the most important thing was the five golden stars painted on his chest, which represented the strength of the young man: a five-star fighter!

Being able to become a five-star fighter at around the age of twenty indicates that young people have extraordinary cultivation talents.

With his handsome appearance and impressive strength, this young man not only captivated some ignorant girls in his family, but even Xiao Mei, who was sitting beside him, had a slight brilliance in her beautiful eyes as she moved towards this side.

Although the young girl secretly flirted, it seemed to have little attraction to the young man. At this moment, the young man was focusing all his attention on the beautiful girl beside him

This young girl is about the same age as Xiao Yan, which surprised Xiao Yan a bit. Her appearance is even more beautiful than Xiao Mei. In this family, perhaps only Xiao Xun'er, who is like a green lotus, can compare with her. No wonder this man disdains these rouge and vulgar powders in the family.

The delicate earlobes of the young girl were adorned with green jade pendants, swaying slightly and emitting a crisp jade sound, suddenly revealing a touch of delicacy

In addition, there are three Venus depicted on the girl's chest.

"Sanxingdou, this girl... If she hadn't been inspired by external things, she would have been a top-notch genius!" Xiao Yan took a soft breath in his heart, but his gaze only lingered on the girl's cold and beautiful face for a moment before moving away. Anyway, under his childish appearance, he also had a mature soul. Although the girl was beautiful, he didn't have the leisure to show a drooling pig like appearance to provoke people.

Xiao Yan's move seemed to have surprised the girl a bit. Although she was not the kind of girl who thought the world revolved around her, she knew her beauty and temperament all too well. Xiao Yan's casual actions really surprised her, of course, that was all!

"Father, three elders!" Quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the four of Xiao Zhan who were in power.

"Hehe, Yan'er, here you are, sit down quickly." Watching Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Zhan stopped laughing with the guests, nodded at him, and waved his hand.

Smiling and nodding, Xiao Yan only pretended not to have seen the impatience and faint disdain shot by the three elders beside him. He turned around and scanned the hall, only to be surprised to find that he didn't have his own place

"Alas, my position in this family seems to be getting lower and lower. In the past, it used to be better, but now it's embarrassing me in front of customers. These three old immortals..." With a self deprecating smile, Xiao Yan shook his head secretly.

Looking at Xiao Yan standing still, the young people in the surrounding tribe couldn't help but make sarcastic noises, obviously liking to see him make a fool of himself.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan above also noticed Xiao Yan's embarrassment. A hint of anger flashed on his face, and he frowned at the old man beside him, saying, "Second Elder, you..."

"Cough, I'm really sorry that I forgot about Third Young Master. Hehe, I'll have someone prepare right away!" The old man in yellow robes, who was stared at by Xiao Zhan, smiled faintly and patted his forehead with "self blame". The mockery in his eyes was not much concealed.

"Brother Xiao Yan, sit here!" The girl's faint laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.

The three elders were slightly stunned, their eyes shifted to the quiet Xiao Xun'er in the corner. Their mouths wriggled, but they didn't dare to speak anymore

In the corner of the hall, Xiao Xun'er smiled and closed the thick books in her hand, exuding an elegant and composed demeanor. She blinked at Xiao Yan's adorable eyes.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's smiling face, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, touched his nose and nodded. Then, amidst the jealous gaze of many years, he walked over and sat down next to her.

"You helped me out again," Xiao Yan chuckled as he sniffed at the faint scent of the girl beside him.

Xiao Xun'er smiled lightly, revealing cute dimples on her small face. Her slender fingertips opened the quaint book in her hand again. Despite her young age, she had a sense of intellectual beauty. She blinked her slender eyelashes and wandered through the book for a moment, then suddenly said with a hint of melancholy, "Brother Xiao Yan hasn't sat alone with Xun'er for three years, has she?"

"Um... now Xun'er is a genius in the family. Isn't it easy to want friends?" Xiao Yan chuckled as she looked at the girl's slightly resentful and smooth profile.

"When Xun Er was four to six years old, someone would sneak into my room every night and use a very clumsy technique and not strong fighting spirit to warm up my bones and meridians. Every time I had to make myself sweat profusely before I left exhausted. Xiao Yan, who could he be?" Xun Er remained silent for a while, then suddenly turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yan. The unique charm of a young girl made the eyes of the young people around him somewhat light up.

"Cough... how do I know? So small, we're still crawling on the ground, how do I know?" Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled twice before turning his gaze towards the hall with a hint of guilt.

"Hehe..." Looking at Xiao Yan's reaction, Xiao Xun'er's mouth lit up with a soft smile, and her gaze shifted to the book. She murmured faintly, "Although she knew he was good, Xun'er is still a girl no matter what. There's no reason to secretly touch a girl's body. If Xun'er finds that person, hmm..."

The corner of his mouth cracked, and Xiao Yan felt a bit guilty. He looked at his nose, his heart, and remained silent
