"I have no control over my destiny, so... I never believe in God. These are all done by you, Uncle Qi, and have nothing to do with God."
"You kid..."
Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly.
"What about the good luck? How to explain it? I picked up star stones on the periphery... It is said that the star stones are all in the core area of no man's land, and there are none on the periphery!"
"That's also Uncle Qi's good luck."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Okay, stop talking about God. If there really is a God, then what does our hard work mean?"
"Well, that's right, then it's one-third destiny and seven-tenth hard work."
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.
"Haha, this statement is still acceptable."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Uncle Qi, you said that other people who came out alive saw different no-man's land. Is this true?"
"it is true."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"I know one of the seniors. He didn't go deep into the no-man's land. He just walked around the outside... But even so, he was poisoned and has not recovered yet."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen's heart moved, yes, why did he forget about Old Monster Wu?
Wu Laoguai has also been to no man’s land!
When he and Lao Xiao come back, you can ask him again to see what's going on in the no-man's land.
Flying fish?
A pig climbing a tree?
A snake with two heads?
There are also larger wolves and leopards?
These made him look forward to the no-man's land a little more, and also made the no-man's land in his eyes even more mysterious.
"Actually, after I got the Star Stone, I hesitated whether to go deeper... I heard that there are many opportunities in the core area of the no-man's land, but I still left!"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"After I left, I told myself that one day I must come back to the no-man's land and go deep into it. Even if I don't have the chance, I still want to get to know it. After all, everything there is novel!"
"Haha, once Uncle Qi tells me, I can't wait to go."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I want to see what a pig that can climb a tree looks like and whether it is a boar or a sow."
"I'm also curious, is it a boar or a sow."
Xiao Lin also laughed.
"So, when you go, remember to tell me. If I have nothing to do, I will go with you."
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded and agreed.
"In case you go into that scene again, I will take you with me and you will be familiar with the road."
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded, thought of something, and smiled helplessly.
"You, my father, went away in a relaxed manner and handed the Xiao family over to me... Today is different from the past. I am tied up, and I can't be free and easy. I can't go wherever I want."
"Then hand over the burden as soon as possible. Xiaoyu hasn't grown up yet, but as for Xiao Lu, I think it's pretty good."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"Otherwise, let him take charge of the Xiao family?"
"no."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"I will leave the position of the head of the family to Xiao Yu."
"Okay, then you will suffer."
Xiao Chen nodded, he didn't care who the Xiao family handed over to.
Anyway... the Dragon Gate he founded has far surpassed the Xiao family in terms of strength.
He really has no idea about the Xiao family.
"When Xiaoyu is in the middle stage of becoming stronger, I will hand over the Xiao family to him."
Xiao Lin said.
"The head of the aristocratic family must be at least in the middle stage of transforming strength. He is too weak to carry this burden."
"Middle stage of energy transformation?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while.
"That should take a year."
"What? A year?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"
"No, I said it right, and you heard it right, one year."
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"What's wrong?"
"Boy, I'm talking about the middle stage of Huajin, not the middle stage of Anjin... How can it be one year?"
Xiao Lin stared at Xiao Chen.
"It will take at least ten or twenty years... Ten years is enough. How old will he be in ten years?"
"Ten years? No need."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"As long as I'm here, it'll only be one year, and I'll let him transform into the middle stage of his strength."
"..."
Xiao Lin was stunned. One year, the middle stage of energy transformation?
"I just want to ask, is Hua Jin... so worthless now?"
"Well, there are quite a few."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"However, Hua Jin is still a master in the ancient martial arts world, and it is not worthless."
"You, Seventh Uncle, are my age, and with my current state, I am secretly enjoying myself. It's not like you don't know how the outside world calls me."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Qilinzi of the Xiao family, according to what you said, Xiaoyu is less than twenty, and he is in the middle stage of energy transformation?"
"Haha, that's right."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"Look at Chu Zhuo, the young palace master of the Supreme Palace. He is in his thirties and is already half-congenital. Xiao Yu is less than twenty and what happened to the middle stage of transformation? It's normal."
"..."
Xiao Lin felt that he was a little abnormal.
Why do young people nowadays practice so much that they act like they are playing house?
Xiao Lin felt that in the eyes of his generation, at this age... they all felt that Hua Jin was unattainable at first, and when they really stepped into Hua Jin, they also found it very difficult.
In the ancient martial arts world, apart from Tianjiao, which one is younger than forty?
In other words, Tianjiao will basically enter Huajin in his thirties.
But when he thought about Xiao Chen and the people around him, they all seemed to be under thirty years old, and... they were all full of energy!
"Are you sure you can give Xiao Yu one year to reach the middle stage of energy transformation?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen.
"Aren't you kidding me?"
"No, I'm serious."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Let Xiao Yu go to the secret realm this time to see if he can get a chance... If he doesn't get a chance, just follow me from now on."
"good!"
Xiao Lin slapped the table and said excitedly.
"One year, that's great. After one year, I can leave the Xiao family to him, hahaha, and then I can be as carefree as before."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked at the excited Xiao Lin, twitched his lips, and then... sympathized with Xiao Yu for a few seconds.
"Boy, hold on tight. If it weren't for the Xiao family, I really wouldn't be able to hold on for a day. It's so uncomfortable. A lot of things have made my head hurt."
Xiao Lin warned.
"Uncle Qi, there aren't that many things to do, right?"
Xiao Chen looked strange.
"I created Longmen, and I feel very relaxed now."
"That's because you acted as a hands-off boss and left everything to others. Of course it's easy for you..."
Xiao Lin was not angry.
"Regarding this matter, when we called, the ancestor complained, saying that he had not cared about the Xiao family for many years, and in the end he had to help you manage Longmen..."
"..."
Xiao Chen twitched his lips, Lao Xiao actually called to complain?
Too abominable.
How could you do such a thing!
"Nowadays, the Xiao family doesn't have many things going on outside, but there are a lot of things going on inside... Hasn't the Xiao family reformed and put all their cultivation resources into use? Regardless of direct lineage, collateral lineage, or disciples, as long as they have talent and ability,
, then focus on training and then rise to the top!"
Xiao Lin took a sip of tea.
"As the head of the family, don't I have to keep an eye on these things personally?"
"All right."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin with some sympathy.
It's like asking a person who is used to being wild to suddenly stop and take care of things, just like putting on a yoke.
It's definitely uncomfortable.
"Uncle Qi, I have an idea. Xiao Mian has nothing to do now. He didn't take care of the Xiao family's affairs before... Since he is willing to take care of it, then you let him take care of it."
Xiao Chen suggested.
"In this case, wouldn't you be able to become the hands-off shopkeeper?"
"He... seems to be in a hurry to practice recently. He rarely cares about the Xiao family's affairs. If I hadn't come here this time, he would probably have to continue to retreat."
Xiao Lin hesitated.
"It's okay to practice. When you get back, you teach him the "Guiyuan Shen Jue". You tell him that this is the reward for hiring him. After he cultivates, he will have innate hope and it will be much more useful than practicing in seclusion."
Xiao Chen poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lin and said with a smile.
"I was going to teach him anyway, but now I can use it to buy your freedom, how nice it is."
"Huh? It seems okay."
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded.
"Don't tell me, what a great idea! Although this old guy didn't do very well in the past, his heart is all for the Xiao family and he has no selfish motives..."
"yes."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"When it's time to liberate yourself, just liberate yourself...You can't take care of every detail personally."
"Hmm, let me study it."
Xiao Lin nodded and then looked at Xiao Chen.
"You guys have gained experience as a hands-off shopkeeper. You still have experience."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Chen smiled proudly, this is not a boast, he is really experienced.
After the two chatted for a while, they mentioned No Man's Land again.
Xiao Chen asked about the specific location, and Xiao Lin explained it and drew a picture.
"The Xiao family has handed it over. I have nothing to do, so I will go with you."
Xiao Lin said.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, let's talk about it, Qi Shu's strength is a bit weak, and it may be dangerous if he follows.
Of course, he would not tell Xiao Lin this, otherwise he would have to be beaten.
Although he can now fight with Xiantian and is at the top of the pyramid in the ancient martial arts world, he really doesn't dare to fight back when Xiao Lin wants to hit him.
This has nothing to do with strength.
In the evening, the women came back one after another, and Su Xiaomeng also came back.
"Xiaomeng, how was your exam today?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"It's okay, that's all."
Su Xiaomeng said casually.
"Okay? Like that? What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen looked at Su Xiaomeng.
"You have to take the exam well. If you fail, your sister and I will have nothing to answer for."
"That is to say, it's just like that, it's not difficult, it's a piece of cake..."
Su Xiaomeng said.
"Is it so awesome?"
Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard Su Xiaomeng's words.
"Are you going to brag with me?"
"What's there to brag about? I've already told you that you will be praised at the parent-teacher meeting this time. How can you fail the exam?"
Su Xiaomeng was not angry.
"Yeah, yes, just don't forget about this! If you embarrass me this time, I'll tell you, I will never hold a parent-teacher conference for you again, you know?"
Xiao Chen looked at Su Xiaomeng and said seriously.
"My dignified Mr. Xiao, I went to your school to embarrass myself... How can I still mess around if word spreads out?"
