Chapter 266 Past

“I will never forget that night.

It was like a dream or a ghost. Such a living person seemed 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, and when he put a baby on the bed and stood behind me!

My first reaction at that time was that I was sweating all over my body! Then I felt a strong sense of frustration in my heart! I don’t believe that anyone in this world could do this! I am confident that my martial arts have reached the pinnacle! Even if I encounter those legendary legends, even if I cannot defeat them, at least I will not be able to deceive myself silently, but I am unaware of it.

No one in the world today can do this!

If this person is my enemy, then he can even silently take my punishment, but I have no ability to resist!

This is something I can't accept - at least I can't accept it rationally for a while! I can't believe that there are such people in this world.

To be honest, I thought I was standing on the peak, but at that moment, I saw the real peak, and suddenly I found that I was just an ant...

This feeling made me sweat all over my body. I stared at him and didn't say a word for a minute!"

Old Master Xiao’s words seemed to have infinite emotion, including a little frustration.

With Mr. Xiao’s current status and power, the Xiao family is deeply rooted in Lingnan, has a great family and a great career, and is also a strong position in the domestic martial arts world. He is even more like a word. But his tone is full of frustration at this moment.

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my talent is much stronger than the people around me. And I have never slacked off. I practice in winter and in summer. Yes, my talent is very good, but at the same time, the hard work, sweat and even blood I have put in is far more difficult than the people around me!!

But at that time, I saw a person who suddenly emerged and suddenly jumped out of the air seemed to have a height that I could not reach..."

The old man sighed and then smiled dejectedly: "I am old, but I still can't let go of my mind."

Chen Xiao nodded, he could understand the old man's emotions.

"I was stunned for a minute, and I looked at this person in a daze. Finally, I made an action that I couldn't understand - I took action against him!"

When Mr. Xiao said this, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, but this trace of light quickly turned into decay.

He stood up and walked a few steps in front of Chen Xiao. He walked very slowly, but every step was heavy, and every step was meticulous. After he finished seven or eight steps, Chen Xiao looked at the ground...

There were seven or eight complete footprints on the ground of the bluestone slab! Each footprint seemed to be carved on the stone slab, one centimeter deep, and around the outline of each footprint, the stone was intact and there was not even a trace of crack!

If you just slash the stone with one foot, it is extremely rare, but the difficulty may not be very high. However, when Mr. Xiao showed it so casually, he would usually leave seven or eight footprints on the stone slabs with ease, and the force used was obviously enough to reach the point of perfection!

What made Chen Xiao even more amazing was that these seven or eight footprints seemed messy on the ground, but when you look closely, it seemed to contain a profound rule!

He couldn't help but stand up, raised his foot and stepped on a footprint. Suddenly, he felt moved in his heart and continued to take steps. Following the remaining footprints, he walked down in one breath. After seven or eight steps, Chen Xiao's face changed: "Yi?"

"Did you see it?" The old man smiled faintly, then his face became serious: "This step is the kind of step you walked out inadvertently when we started that day! Although there are some differences, this incredible feeling is the same!"

If Chen Xiao’s memory is restored, he will immediately recognize it. This is exactly the "short-strike"!

"This step was left to me by that person on that day." The old man narrowed his eyes and sighed: "I was excited for a moment and took action against him, which was also the instinctive reaction of martial arts practitioners. I suddenly activated and used the two most powerful moves in the Xiao family's boxing, both of which were suddenly launched and attacked and won with one blow. But as soon as I took action, I lost!"

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the footprints on the ground, and there was a deep helplessness in his tone: "That person was right in front of me, as if he had just taken eight steps casually. After eight steps, my two sharp killer moves were all gone, and I didn't even touch a corner of his clothes! And when he finished eight steps, his hand was pressed on my throat. As long as he pinched it gently, he could kill me on the spot. I have encountered many powerful enemies in my life and many powerful opponents, but I have never lost so badly! I immediately confirmed one thing: this person is absolutely unmatched by me! Under his hands, the martial arts I am proud of are simply like an ant."

The old man glanced at Chen Xiao: "I was surprised to see you stepping out this kind of footwork that day. I think since you know this kind of footwork, then you probably have something to do with the strange man named Tian."

Chen Xiao was silent. He frowned, touched his nose, and lowered his head to ponder.

"Fortunately, he was not here to kill me, nor was he an enemy of our Xiao family. On the contrary, he was the benefactor of our Xiao family." The old man smiled bitterly: "He completely subdued me as soon as he made a move. Then he grinned at me and said, "It seems that the descendants of the Xiao family are pretty good. The two tricks just now are quite decent.' When I was extremely ashamed, he continued to say, 'Don't be angry, I'll tell you, my surname is Tian, ​​this surname is probably not too strange to your Xiao family."

When Mr. Xiao said this, he shook his head vigorously: "I immediately remembered the allusion my father told me back then, about the origin of the Xiao family in Lingnan. But I didn't think of the strange man named Tian who helped my ancestors back then, because after all... so many years have passed, and the person in front of me seems not old and looks much younger than me. But then he said something, which dispelled my suspicion and shocked me immediately.

He said: 'You Xiao family should still keep the knife I left behind back then.', hehe! After hearing that sentence, I really don't know how to describe my feelings at that time! My first reaction was, is he really a god? At his age, he looks a little younger than my son. But..."

Chen Xiao was silent.

He was not too shocked - he himself didn't understand why he was not surprised at all?

At this time, Xiao Qing had already returned, and she stood at the door, holding two cups of tea in her hand.

The old man waved to her: "Come in, girl, it's okay to listen to these things."

Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, put down the tea when entering the door, but stood beside Chen Xiao.

The old man smiled slightly: "The baby girl on the bed was you, girl. Hehe! The strange man named Tian told me, 'This girl is a descendant of Xiao Mingyue. Her mother entrusted her to me and sent her back to Xiao's house 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 too much to me, just as suddenly as when I came. I just disappeared in the blink of an eye."

The old man gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Xiao Qing's face was shocked, and she stared at the old man: "Old man, you, what you mean is...I, I am not my parents..."

The old man blew the tea leaves floating on the tea cup, and then sighed: "You were suddenly taken back. And the strange man named Tian ordered not to announce your identity. I thought about it all night that night... The strange man named Tian has great kindness to our Lingnan Xiao family. All the tribes can survive in Lingnan, all relying on his help back then. I will never doubt what he said! Since he said you are a descendant of Xiao Mingyue, then you must be! And... Even if you are not from the Xiao family, this strange man named Tian has such kindness to our Xiao family. Even if he sends an ordinary baby girl to me for care, I will definitely work hard to repay him!

So, I thought hard for a night before finally making a decision and came up with a solution. 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 best among the younger generation of my Xiao family at that time. He was generous and upright, and loyal to the family. He was a junior who I admire very much. He was also the direct identity of the Xiao family. More importantly, he was married for three years but had no children. So I thought of a way and sent him to a remote place in another place to manage an industry. After going out for a year, I brought the baby girl into the door. I only told the clan that he had been away for more than a year and his wife gave birth to a daughter. This matter was only known to me and the couple in the clan. I urged them sternly that this matter must not be revealed! Hehe!"

The old man smiled bitterly: "In this way, Xiao Qing became a member of our Xiao family. When his father was sent to a remote place to manage the industry, everyone thought he had violated some family rules and was severely punished by me, so he exiled in disguise. There were still a few people in the clan who spoke for him. However, I later compensated him more. When he came back with Xiao Qing a year later, I announced in public.

He transferred him back to manage an important property of the Xiao family, and then he was highly valued. Later, he was one of the most important figures in the Xiao family. Others thought that he had given birth to a good daughter, and thought that I loved Xiao Qing, the girl, and supported her father. But I didn't know that I just made a compensation to him, and he left the Xiao family and was exiled for a year in order to give Xiao Qing a background."

When Xiao Qing heard this, her face suddenly changed, her body shook, and her voice trembled: "Grandmaster, you, what do you mean is, my parents, they are not, no, not mine, their biological ones..."

"No." The old man looked at Xiao Qing with some pity and sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm just telling you this news now... In fact, if not... I don't plan to tell you. After all, your parents love you very much. Although they are not biological, they regard you as your own."

Xiao Qing was stunned, then suddenly her face turned extremely pale, and then subconsciously supported Chen Xiao's shoulder beside her and cried out with a "wow".

Chen Xiao felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and couldn't help but reach out and gently support Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing's body became weak and leaned on Chen Xiao's arm, hugged Chen Xiao's shoulder and started crying.

The old man sighed with a look of guilt on his face.

"Xiao Qing is a girl with great talent. No one among the Xiao family's children of the same generation can compare with her! In the past, Xiao Mingyue was a strange person in our Xiao family. The gentleman named Tian she brought back even created the martial arts of the Xiao family. The talent of Xiao Qing is undoubtedly revealed when she was five or six years old! Everyone was even surprised that her father had an ordinary talent in martial arts practice, but he had a lot of experience in business management. Why did he give birth to a daughter but was a martial arts genius? But no matter what, I remembered the words of the strange person named Tian, ​​and never dared to reveal Xiao Qing's life experience... Alas..."

Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Qing who was crying and subconsciously tightened his arms, then sighed and hesitated: "Old Master Xiao, then, this matter is with me..."
