“I will never forget that night.
It was like a dream, or a ghost. Such a big living person seems to have emerged from under the floor. At that time, he was only a few steps away from me, but I had no idea when he came in, when he put a baby on the bed, or when he stood behind me!
My first reaction at that time was that I was sweating all over! Then a strong sense of frustration arose in my heart! I don't believe there is anyone in this world who can do this! I am confident that my martial arts has reached its peak! Even if I am defeated by those legendary figures in legends, at least I will not let others bully me so silently, without me even realizing it.
There is absolutely no one in the world today who can do this!
If this person is my enemy, then he can even take my punishment name silently, but I have no ability to resist at all!
This is something I cannot accept—at least not intellectually for a while! I can't believe there are people like this in this world.
To put it bluntly: I thought I was standing on the top, but at that moment, I saw the real peak, and suddenly realized that I was just an ant...
This feeling made me break out in cold sweat. I stared at him and didn't say a word for a full minute! "
Mrs. Xiao's words seemed to be filled with infinite emotion, including a bit of frustration.
With Mr. Xiao's current status and power, the Xiao family is deeply rooted in Lingnan and has a great business. It is also the leader in the domestic martial arts world, and he is a man of his word. But at this moment, his tone was full of frustration.
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my talent is much better than those around me, and I have never slacked off. I practiced in the winter and in the summer. Yes, my talent is very good, but at the same time, the hard work and sweat I put in are even There is far more blood than the people around!!
But at that time, I saw a person who appeared so suddenly, a person who suddenly jumped out of the air, but seemed to have a height that was beyond my reach... "
The old man sighed, then smiled dejectedly: "I am old, but I still can't let go."
Chen Xiao nodded, he could understand the old man's emotion.
"I was in a daze for a full minute, just staring at this man with my mouth open. Finally, I made an action that I couldn't even understand - I attacked him!"
When Mr. Xiao said this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but this glint soon turned into decadence.
He stood up and walked a few steps in front of Chen Xiao. He walked slowly, but every step was heavy and every step was meticulous. After he finished walking seven or eight steps, Chen Xiao looked at the ground...
On the bluestone floor, there were seven or eight complete footprints! Each footprint seems to be carved on a stone slab, up to one centimeter deep, and around the outline of each footprint, the stone is intact without even a single crack!
If it is just a simple step to break the stone, although it is extremely rare, the difficulty is not necessarily very high. But when Mr. Xiao exposed his body so casually, he left seven or eight footprints on the stone slab with ease and carelessness, and the force he used had obviously reached the level of proficiency!
What surprised Chen Xiao even more was that these seven or eight footprints on the ground seemed messy, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to contain a profound pattern!
He couldn't help but stood up, raised his foot and stepped on a footprint. Suddenly, he felt touched in his heart. He continued to walk, following the remaining footprints, and walked down in one breath. After walking seven or eight steps, he , Chen Xiao's expression changed: "Yi?"
"Did you see it?" The old man smiled faintly, and then his face became serious: "This footwork is exactly the kind of footwork you inadvertently walked out when we did it that day! Although there are some differences, this incredible feeling , but it’s the same!”
If Chen Xiao's memory recovers, he will immediately recognize that this is exactly the "bunt" set!
"This footwork was left to me by that person that day." The old man squinted his eyes and sighed: "In a moment of excitement, I attacked him, which is also the instinctive reaction of a martial arts practitioner. I suddenly launched, using The two most powerful moves in Xiao Family Boxing are both sudden attacks and heavy blows that can win with one blow. But as soon as I made a move, I lost!"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the footprints on the ground, with a deep helplessness in his tone: "That person was right in front of me. He seemed to take eight steps casually. When he came over in eight steps, my two sharp blows All his killing moves failed, not even a single corner of his clothes was touched! And when he finished walking eight steps, his hand was already on my throat. With just a slight squeeze, he could kill me on the spot. . I have encountered many strong enemies and many powerful opponents in my life, but I have never lost so miserably! I immediately became certain of one thing: I am absolutely unmatched by this person! Under his hands, my martial arts skills, which I am proud of, are as good as ants."
The old man glanced at Chen Xiao: "I was surprised when I saw you doing this similar footwork that day. I think that since you know this kind of footwork, then you probably have something to do with that strange man named Tian. .”
Chen Xiao was silent. He frowned, touched his nose, and lowered his head in thought.
"Fortunately, he is not here to kill me, nor is he an enemy of our Xiao family. On the contrary, he is the benefactor of our Xiao family." The old man smiled bitterly: "He completely subdued me as soon as he made a move, and then he grinned at me He smiled and said, "It seems that the descendants of the Xiao family are pretty good, and those two moves just now were quite decent." Just when I was extremely ashamed, he continued, "You don't have to be angry. I told you, my surname is Tian, and this surname should be familiar to you, the Xiao family.'"
When Mr. Xiao said this, he shook his head vigorously: "I immediately remembered the allusion that my father told me about the origin of the Xiao family in Lingnan. But at that time, I did not think of the man named Tian who helped my ancestors. A strange person, because after all... so many years have passed, and the person in front of me does not seem to be very old, and he even looks much younger than me. But then he said something, which made me give up my suspicion, and I was immediately shocked.
He said: 'You people of the Xiao family should still keep the knife I left behind. ',hey-hey! After hearing that sentence, I really don’t know how to describe how I felt at that time! My first reaction was, is he really a god? Despite his age, he looks younger than my son. but… "
Chen Xiao was silent.
He wasn't too shocked - he didn't understand, so why wasn't he surprised at all
At this time, Xiao Qing had come back, and she was standing at the door, holding two cups of tea in her hands.
The old man waved to her: "Come in, girl, it doesn't hurt to listen to these things."
Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, then walked in and put down her tea, but stood next to Chen Xiao.
The old man smiled slightly: "The baby girl on the bed at that time was you, girl. Hehe! That strange man named Tian told me that this girl is a descendant of Xiao Mingyue. Her mother entrusted me to give her to Return to the Xiao family to raise her. I hope you will take good care of her. It is best not to announce her identity, otherwise there will be trouble.' After saying this, he didn't even explain much to me, just as suddenly as when I came. , I just blinked and he disappeared."
The old man gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Xiao Qing's face was shocked. She stared at the old man: "Old man, you, you mean... I, I am not my parents..."
The old man blew the tea leaves floating on the tea cup, and then sighed: "You were brought back suddenly. And that strange man named Tian ordered not to reveal your identity. I thought hard all night that night... That strange man named Tian He is a strange man who has great kindness to our Lingnan Xiao family. The whole family can survive here in Lingnan only because of his support. I will never doubt what he said! Since he said you are Xiao Mingyue Descendants, then you must be one! And... Even if you are not from the Xiao family, this strange man named Tian has been so kind to our Xiao family. Even if he sent an ordinary baby girl to my care, I will definitely try my best to repay him!
So, I thought hard all night and finally made a decision and came up with a way. At dawn, I quietly called your father back to the inner house to talk to him. "
The old man glanced at Chen Xiao and explained: "That was the leader of the younger generation of my Xiao family at that time. He was generous and upright, and loyal to the family. He was a younger generation that I admired very much. He was also a direct descendant of the Xiao family. identity. More importantly, he had been married for exactly three years but had no children. So I thought of a way and sent him to manage an estate in a remote place. He stayed away for a year before coming back. When he came back, he would The baby girl was brought into the house together. He only told the clan that his wife gave birth to a daughter when he was away for more than a year. Only my husband and I knew about this matter. I told them sternly, This matter must not be leaked out! Hehe!"
The old man smiled bitterly: "Just like that, Xiao Qing, this girl, has legitimately become a member of our Xiao family. When his father was sent to that remote place to manage the property, everyone thought he had violated something. The family rules were severely punished by me, so they were exiled in disguise. There were quite a few people in the clan who complained about him. But I later made up for him a lot. When he came back a year later with Xiao Qing, I would It was announced in public that he was transferred back to manage an important property of the Xiao family, and he was put to great use later on. Later, he was considered one of the most important figures in the Xiao family. Others thought that he was the one who gave birth to him. I gave birth to a good daughter. I thought it was because I doted on this girl Xiao Qing that I fell in love with Wujiwu and supported her father. However, I didn’t know that I was just making up for him, compensating him for leaving Xiao Qing in order to give Xiao Qing a better life. The family was exiled for a year."
Xiao Qing's face suddenly changed after hearing this, her body swayed, and her voice trembled: "Master, you, you mean, my parents, they are not, not, not mine, biological..."
"No." The old man glanced at Xiao Qing with some pity and sighed: "I'm sorry to tell you such news now... Actually, if it wasn't... I didn't plan to tell you. After all, your parents are very happy. I love you very much. Although I am not my biological child, I treat you as my own."
Xiao Qing was stunned, then suddenly her face turned extremely pale, and then she subconsciously held Chen Xiao's shoulders next to her, crying "Wow".
Chen Xiao felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but reach out and gently support Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing's body softened and she leaned into Chen Xiao's arms, holding Chen Xiao's shoulders and crying.
The old man had a look of guilt on his face and sighed.
"Xiao Qing is extremely talented. Among the children of the Xiao family of her generation, no one can match her! In the past, Xiao Mingyue was a strange person in our Xiao family. The man named Tian she brought back Mr. Xiao Qing single-handedly created the Xiao family’s martial arts. Xiao Qing’s talent was evident when she was five or six years old! Even everyone was surprised that her father’s talent in martial arts was mediocre, but he was good at business management. I have quite a lot of experience, why did I give birth to a daughter, but she is a prodigy in martial arts. But no matter what, I have always kept in mind the words of that strange man named Tian, and I have never dared to reveal Xiao Qing's life experience... Sigh... "
Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Qing who was crying, subconsciously tightened his arms, then sighed and hesitated: "Mr. Xiao, then, this matter and me..."
"Of course it has something to do with you." The old man shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of it, it is also fate. Xiao Qing's father and your mother have been close friends since childhood. Although they are not brothers and sisters in the same room, speaking of it, Xiao Qing's Your father is your mother's clan brother, but coincidentally, Xiao Qing's mother and your mother are friends. The two made an appointment to get married very early, and your mother was still at home at that time and did not leave. We did The elders were happy to see this. But later, Xiao Qing's mother failed to give birth to a son and a half. And when Xiao Qing came to the Xiao family, your mother had already left the Xiao family. "
