"Jie'er! Don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!" The middle-aged man turned around and glared at the girl fiercely, warning.
"That's right! Brother Xuehong, tell me!"
The girl was obviously unconvinced. She turned her head and rushed away behind her, a man about thirty years old, with a handsome and sunny appearance, wearing a smart suit, and a dashing appearance. He said in an almost coquettish tone.
From the bright and shining eyes of the girl, it is not difficult to see a deep sense of friendship.
The man seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes were a little blurry, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that the girl was talking to him, smiled, and said, "I think Master is right. You know, people have to bow their heads under the eaves." . There are spies from the Ping family everywhere, Jie Mei must be more careful when she speaks."
"Hmph! Brother Xuehong is the worst. He never speaks for me."
The girl pursed her red lips and tried hard to look angry, but there was no trace of anger in her eyes. Maybe she simply couldn't bear to be angry with her Xuehong brother.
The middle-aged man walking in front looked back at Hu Xuehong, his eyes full of smiles and unconcealed appreciation, and asked, "Xuehong, you also came to Daomen through the election six years ago. I will take you there." When I returned to Qi’s home, I took this same path. Now that I’m revisiting my hometown, I must have a lot of emotions in my heart.”
Hu Xuehong nodded slightly and sighed, "I do have a lot of emotions. Looking back on the situation six years ago, it seems like it was just yesterday, and it is still clear."
Hearing what Hu Xuehong said, Qi Jie chuckled, "Yes, Brother Xuehong at that time didn't understand anything. He was like a fool and was often bullied by me."
Qi Xuan glanced at Qi Jie and scolded with a smile: "Thank you for having the nerve to say it. It's because Xue Hong has an open mind and a generous personality that I can tolerate you."
Qi Jie glanced at Hu Xuehong triumphantly and hummed, "What can he do if he can't bear it? Who made his cultivation at that time inferior to mine!"
"You're getting thicker and thicker, I'm sure I'd be embarrassed to say it. Six years ago, your Xuehong brother hadn't completely changed, but you were already a middle-level yellow-bred, and now your Xuehong brother has entered the Xuanxuan You are already at the first level of Hen, but you have just reached the peak of the yellow race. I don’t know, but I thought you were the one from the Ascension Continent.”
He really couldn't see Qi Jie being proud, so Qi Xuan would beat this girl whenever he got the chance.
Qi Jie listened, but didn't care. She looked at Hu Xuehong and said, "Can you blame me? If you want to blame, you can only blame Brother Xuehong for being too perverted! Among the young people in our entire Qi family, no one can compare to Brother Xuehong." !”
When she said this, Qi Jie's pretty face was filled with pride and excitement. She was probably even happier than when she had achieved Xuanhen herself.
Qi Xuan seemed to agree with Qi Jie's words, smiling and nodding.
The heritage of a third-grade family is completely incomparable to that of a second-grade family. Even Qi Xuan, the head of the Qi family, has just reached the elementary level of Tiange, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will stay in Tiange for the rest of his life, and even has little chance of reaching the peak of Tiange. Slim.
There is no way, the improvement of a monk can not only be achieved by talent and hard work, but also requires huge resources. To a certain extent, this is the biggest bottleneck that monks encounter when improving.
Because of this, Hu Xuehong is particularly important to the Qi family. With Hu Xuehong's qualifications and diligence, coupled with the vigorous training of the Qi family, I believe that Hu Xuehong will definitely have a chance to reach the Tiange realm. If the Qi family has another Tiange realm master, the status of the Qi family will definitely be greatly improved. Although there is still no chance to attack the second-grade family, it is not bad to become the leader of the third-grade family.
In short, Qi Xuan is becoming more and more satisfied with Hu Xuehong now, and has even decided in his heart that he will hand over the Qi family to Hu Xuehong in the future. Although this will definitely encounter great resistance in the family, Qi Xuan feels more and more that the Qi family Only in the hands of Hu Xuehong can he really have a chance to soar into the sky.
"By the way, Xue Hong, you have a sister in Shengtian Continent, right?"
When Qi Xuan asked, Hu Xuehong's face immediately filled with warmth and longing. She nodded and said, "Yes, when I left, Xue Qing was only sixteen or seventeen years old. I think she should be already tall and graceful now."
"Really? I want to meet Brother Xuehong's sister. Brother Xuehong is so handsome, so my sister must be very beautiful too!"
Qi Xuan hummed and said, "Xuehong, do you think your sister will come to this election?"
Hu Xuehong's expression immediately became excited. Anticipation and nervousness rushed to her cheeks in turn. She looked worried and uneasy. She said naa, "Probably... no! After all, when I left, Xue Qing... His cultivation has just reached the seventh level of Qi.”
After hearing what Hu Xuehong said, Qi Xuan stopped talking.
He knew the situation in Shengtian Continent. It was almost impossible for a warrior to reach perfection from the seventh level of Qi in six years.
Seeing the excitement on Hu Xuehong's face dimming little by little, Qi Jie hurriedly comforted her, "Brother Xuehong, it's nothing. It won't work this time. There will be the next election! Your qualifications are so good, I miss your sister." It’s definitely not bad. As long as time passes, you will definitely meet again in the Dao Sect World.”
"Haha... thank you Jie Mei, I'm fine!" Hu Xuehong nodded gratefully to Qi Jie and said.
"Okay, stop talking, we are here!" Qi Xuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back and made a silencing gesture to the two of them.
Qi Jie looked up and saw two majestic stone pillars more than ten feet high, carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, standing on both sides. A staircase made of white marble led directly to the top of the mountain. At the end of the staircase, it seemed that There is golden light rising into the sky, and extremely majestic palace-like buildings come into view. Just spectacular, it is no longer enough to describe it.
After all, it is a grand scene of the Immortal Family, which can never be matched by ordinary people!
At this time, standing proudly in front of two cloud-entering stone pillars was a man in green clothes, about the same age as Hu Xuehong. He should be the disciples sent by the Heng family to pick up Qi Xuan and other third-rank family disciples. Qi Xuan was about to step forward to speak, but unexpectedly, the disciple Yi Yi spoke first, "Are these slow people coming to my Du'e Mountain for sightseeing?"
This tone was stinging upon hearing it, and Qi Xuan's brows suddenly wrinkled. Although the Ping family is high-profile and arrogant, no matter what, an outer disciple wearing green clothes should not speak in such a tone to a third-grade family leader like Qi Xuan.
The second-grade family of Dao Sect has many disciples and the hierarchy is extremely strict. The one with the highest position and the most important status is the first-line disciple. Every second-grade family has only one first-line disciple, who is the core of the entire family's future and is the one who will devote all his efforts and efforts to cultivate.
Below the first-tier disciples are the second-tier disciples. Second-tier disciples are the future backbone of every second-tier family, and they are absolutely skinny. Although they are not as valued as the first-tier disciples, they must be the elite among the younger generation of each second-grade family.
Below the second-tier disciples are the inner disciples! The so-called inner disciples are basically disciples from each family who are ineffective, or have extremely poor talent, and have little hope for the future. However, inner disciples are also direct descendants of each family.
And the lowest level is the outer disciple! They are disciples recruited by various families from outside the family. These people usually do odd jobs and do auxiliary work such as menial work, just like servants! Only those who perform exceptionally well will have the opportunity to become inner disciples. A very small number of them can become second-tier disciples and be given the surname. As for first-tier disciples, that is absolutely impossible.
The major families in the Dao Sect world regard the inheritance of bloodline as extremely important!
The third-grade family is indeed affiliated with the second-grade family, but the head of the third-grade family is not a small person after all, let alone a mere outside disciple who can be called around.
Qi Xuan frowned and looked up at the Tsing Yi disciple. He suddenly felt that he looked familiar. When he realized that the other person's eyes seemed to have gone beyond his own and landed on Hu Xuehong, he suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be Six years ago, the person who passed the election and came to the Taoist world with Hu Xuehong seemed to be a disciple of Yuntianmen.
Although in the previous general elections, each third-rank family selected its own candidate, every time after selecting a person, they had to be brought to the Heike family first. In name, it was to show respect for the Heike family, but in fact, it was left to the Heike family to make the selection. once.
In the general elections of the past few years, there were several times when the young man was obviously chosen by the Qi family, but in the end he was taken over by the Heing family. The Taira family simply compensated for some spiritual stones and immortal grass, which was less than one-tenth of the cost of opening the teleportation array. But even if it was so unfair, the third-rank family, which was attached to the Taira family, could only endure it.
Qi Xuan understood everything immediately. He was also aware of the conflict between Yuntianmen and Danxia Sect. He and the Heping family were also aware of it. But neither he nor the Taira family would stop it. In fact, in their view, this was also an opportunity for survival of the fittest and an opportunity to find gold in the sand.
If you can't stand out and survive in Shengtian Continent, then even coming to Dao Sect will be meaningless.
The Taira family, together with the six third-grade families, rarely select more than ten people in every general election. They can definitely be regarded as one in a million. But even such an elite can survive in the cruel world of Taoism. It's only twenty-three out of ten.
"That's unreasonable. Why are you talking?"
Qi Jie was already dissatisfied with the Ping family, but now she couldn't help it anymore and choked out.
"Jie Mei!" Hu Xuehong hurriedly stopped Qi Jie and turned to look at the Tsing Yi disciple with a stern look on her face, "Yunfei, I didn't expect that after several years of absence, you still have the same moral character and have not improved at all. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can come to me. If you are disrespectful to my master, then I will seek justice from the Taira family even if I die. "
