In the center of Yanggu City, on the top floor of a shopping mall not far from Yanggu Hotel, Yan Xue opened the door and walked in.
After closing the door, she leaned against the door, staring at the void in front of her, in a daze.
A look of disappointment and unwillingness gradually appeared on her expressionless face, her eyes were slightly red, and she bit her red lips and whispered softly: "I actually lost..."
She had been placed high hopes by the Yan family since she was a child, but she lost out to a classmate from the town.
Yan Xue felt a twitching pain in her stomach, and her whole body felt empty and exhausted.
She slowly slid down the door, sat down on the ground, and buried her face in her arms.
The atmosphere in the room became silent.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Xue's body trembled, and she raised her head abruptly. She rubbed her reddish eye sockets, exhaled to calm down, then stood up again, and opened the door.
Outside the door, a bunny woman with long black hair stood.
This bunny woman seemed to be about thirty years old, with a graceful and mature temperament, and a beautiful appearance, with two black rabbit ears raised on the top of her head.
After seeing the bunny girl, Yan Xue's eyes widened, and a bright smile appeared on his expressionless face as if the sun was shining.
"Grandma! Why are you here?"
With a soft cry, she threw herself into the arms of the bunny woman like a little girl.
This is Yan Xue's grandma, Gao Yueling.
Gao Yueling's deep black eyes seemed to have traces of old age, she gently hugged Yan Xue, stretched out her hand to stroke Yan Xue's short hair, with a kind smile on her face.
"My Xiaoxue's trial is over today. As a grandma, I have to come and see it? This trial lasted for half a month, are you tired? My Xiaoxue has worked hard."
Yan Xue smiled and said, "This little bit of hard work is nothing."
Gao Yueling laughed, and said with a smile: "How is it? My family's Xiaoxue should be stronger than that kid from the Mu family, so she should be number one?"
Hearing Gao Yueling's words, the smile on Yan Xue's face froze, and her body shook.
Inspired by Yan Xue's anomaly, Gao Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, then she smiled and continued, "Go in first, grandma made you your favorite strawberry cake today."
The two entered the room.
On one side of the hall is a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight outside the window shines in, making the air seem to flicker with light.
The huge living room is equipped with an ice blue coffee table, which seems to have a cold air overflowing, and there is a sofa of the same color beside the coffee table.
The two sat down on the sofa, Yan Xue watched Gao Yueling take out the pink cake and fiddled with it, with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face: "...Grandma, I only got second this time."
Gao Yueling was not surprised at what Yan Xue said.
She cut a small piece of cake and handed it to Yan Xue, with a gentle smile still on her face: "Grandma guessed it, you girl, are you crying?"
Seeing Gao Yueling's smile, Yan Xue pursed her lips, took a small bite of the cake, and said softly, "I didn't cry!"
Gao Yueling didn't care either, and said with a smile, "Come and tell grandma, is that kid from the Mu family better than Xiaoxue from our family?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xue put down the cake in her hand, and then said softly, "It's not Wood Forest."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Gao Yueling was taken aback, a little puzzled.
"It seems that there are only the two of you as candidates for Erqiao this time?"
Yan Xue's face flushed slightly in embarrassment: "The first place is a guy who is at the peak of one aperture..."
Gao Yueling: "..."
She looked at Yan Xue with a strange look on her face, and then asked curiously: "What's going on? Could it be a genius?"
Hearing this, Yan Xue recalled Mo Xiaobai's appearance, and said a little unconvinced, "It's not that he's a genius, but that guy's luck is simply inhuman..."
As she said that, she seemed to be accusing, and told Gao Yueling about the previous situation.
After finishing speaking, she said with some grievances: "If it wasn't for the points of the last second-tier monster boss, I would have been the first place this time!"
Seeing Yan Xue's aggrieved look, Gao Yueling had a kind smile on his face, rubbed Yan Xue's short hair, and said, "Grandma didn't expect that someone would be so lucky."
"Besides, it actually made Xiaoxue of our family deflated."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xue's eyes flashed brightly, she said firmly, "Next time I will be number one."
As she spoke, she took a bite of the cake, and the corner of her mouth was covered with cream.
Gao Yueling looked at Yan Xue's determined look, shook her head slightly, and said with a light smile, "You girl, you put too much pressure on yourself. Grandma just hopes that you can practice normally and live a good life."
As she spoke, she sighed softly: "Your grandpa and your parents have too high expectations of you."
The higher the expectations for Yan Xue, the heavier the pressure on Yan Xue.
Yan Xue paused when she heard the words, and shook her head slightly: "I'm from the Yan family, how can I embarrass you?"
Gao Yueling was speechless for a moment, she said softly: "By the way, your grandfather may not be able to come back on your birthday, and there is another change in the Ice Bone Abyss, so he must guard there."
Yan Xue was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed, then nodded: "... oh."
"Also, there are also signs of blood beast riots in the Blood Wasteland, and the pressure on the Blood Waste Legion is not small. Your father and mother must also guard the Blood Blood Legion."
Hearing this, Yan Xue's eyes widened: "The blood beasts are rioting? Isn't that..."
Gao Yueling's face was serious, and she nodded: "Well, the blood tide is coming, probably in the past few years."
Yan Xue's heart sank.
Every blood tide is a disaster, and every blood tide, the barren blood army will have huge sacrifices.
Yan Xue's face was serious, and she said firmly: "I must practice hard, and I will enter the blood wilderness in the future to find out what caused the blood tide!"
Gao Yueling smiled and rubbed Yanxue's head: "Cultivate hard, and you should also pay attention to your body. Let's go out for a walk on this birthday, so it can be regarded as relaxing for you."
Yan Xue stuck out her tongue: "Good grandma, I'm going to catch the doll!"
"no problem."
Speaking of this, the corners of Gao Yueling's mouth curled up, revealing a smile: "But speaking of it, I'm quite interested in that little guy named Mo Xiaobai, and it's the first time our Xiaoxue lost to a boy. "
Yan Xue's body froze, and she said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma! What are you thinking?"
"Hahaha."
...
After Mo Xiaobai had a delicious meal, he returned to his room and fell asleep.
He hasn't slept well in the past half month, but he is young, otherwise it would be too much.
When he woke up, Mo Xiaobai looked at the time and found that it was already the next morning.
He stretched himself, feeling relaxed all over his body.
Mo Xiaobai walked out of the room. Before he could recover, the head of the Lu Mansion ran to his side and grabbed his shoulder with an extremely excited expression.
"Little Bai! You are number one! You are number one!"
Chief Lu's voice trembled a little.
Seeing the excitement of Lu's head, Mo Xiaobai rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I told you yesterday."
As a result, the head of the Lu family was still beaten to death for disbelief yesterday.
The head of the Lu family didn't care about Mo Xiaobai's complaints at all, he said excitedly: "This is the champion! Xiaobai, you are too good! You really give us the face of the mayor of Pingxi! Your parents will be very happy when they hear the news of!"
Although Mo Xiaobai knew that Chief Lu would be excited, he did not expect him to be so excited.
Seeing the red face of Lu's head, Mo Xiaobai felt a little headache.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Only then was Lu's mansion pulled back to his senses. He realized that he had lost his composure, coughed lightly in embarrassment, stood up straight, and tidied up his appearance.
"Maybe there are three teachers who came to see you, I will open the door."
As he said that, he ran towards the door in a hurry, his steps were very brisk.
