Ji Tianxing's attitude has always been calm and calm, neither far nor near.
He has the reserve of a peerless genius and the majesty of a strong man.
For Xiao Ling'er, this has a very special attraction.
She couldn't help but want to get closer to Ji Tianxing and get to know him better.
In particular, the way Ji Tianxing looked at her was as clear as water, without any surprise or any evil thoughts.
This made her even more admired and a little bit disappointed.
After all, she is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Xiao clan and the most outstanding among young women.
Many young men of the Xiao clan admire her very much, either secretly in love with her, or openly pursuing and entangled with her.
Ji Tianxing saw that Xiao Ling'er was a little stunned and seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked: "You followed me here, what's the matter?"
Xiao Ling'er came back to her senses and replied subconsciously: "Of course I want to thank you in person..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ji Tianxing raised his hand to interrupt her and asked again: "What about other than that?"
"Uh..." Xiao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, her heart beating faster inexplicably.
She glanced at Ji Tianxing quietly and asked tentatively: "Brother Tianxing, can I sit down and have a chat with you?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Please do as you like."
Xiao Ling'er felt a little excited and sat down next to him with a smile on her face.
Ji Tianxing's easy-going and approachable attitude made her feel relaxed and no longer anxious.
She looked sideways at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Brother Tianxing, I heard that you are Uncle Xiao Han's nephew, but I have never met you. Didn't you grow up in the Xiao clan?"
"Of course not."
Xiao Ling'er's eyes flashed with intelligence as she asked, "Then can you tell me what the outside world is like?"
"The outside world..." Ji Tianxing paused and said with a smile: "It's very exciting, but also very complicated."
After that, he glanced at Xiao Ling'er and said, "You seem to be yearning for the outside world?"
"Of course!" Xiao Ling'er nodded without hesitation: "Not only me, but most of the Xiao clan's children don't want to stay here and want to go out and make a living.
Men want to conquer the world, make great achievements, and become a great hero like Uncle Xiao Han, a peerless strong man.
And I... just want to see the scenery outside, meet more friends, and find the perfect lover in my mind."
Ji Tianxing was startled for a moment, and said in a confused voice: "Miss Ling'er, is it not right for you to be so frank? Girls, you should be more reserved."
"Uh..." Xiao Ling'er was also a little embarrassed, and asked with a blushing face: "Brother Tianxing, do you think I'm... a bit bold?"
"That's not true." Ji Tianxing shook his head and said calmly: "You just have a simple and straightforward personality."
Xiao Ling'er nodded in agreement and said: "Third Grandpa often said the same thing, and also said that if I went outside, I would definitely suffer.
It's a pity that I may not have the opportunity to see the outside world.
The wish I have had for more than ten years is about to be dashed."
Her tone was a little low and sentimental, and her tone was quite helpless and angry.
Ji Tianxing looked sideways at her, "What? Are you worried that you won't be able to pass the assessment and win the top two?"
"So you also know about the Holy Fire Festival assessment?" Xiao Ling'er blinked her big eyes and said with a somewhat angry tone: "Brother Tianxing, in fact, if everyone is assessed fairly, I am still confident that I will win the top two.
After all, my talent and strength rank among the top three among the younger generation.
It's just that Xiao Chong and Xiao Xue...the three guys just now, they actually used magic weapons to cheat!"
At this point, she murmured in a helpless tone: "You also know that a low-grade soul-level magic weapon is several times more powerful than the magic weapon.
Xiao Chen and I are only slightly stronger than Xiao Chong and the others, so how can we withstand the power of the magic weapon?"
Ji Tianxing immediately understood her worries and anger, and asked knowingly: "Didn't you get the tailbone and eyes of the spotted cloud beast? Why don't you let the third elder refine the magic weapon for you?"
Xiao Ling'er shook her head and said with worry: "Third Grandpa's hidden injury has recurred, and his physical condition is very bad. He is already in so much pain, how can we cause him any more trouble?"
Ji Tianxing asked back: "So, you would rather accept the result of failure in the assessment than let the third elder get injured again?"
Xiao Ling'er nodded and said: "Xiao Chong and Xiao Xue are not brothers from the third house. Of course they don't care about the physical condition of the third grandfather, but we can't do this..."
Hearing what she said, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but look at her one more time, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
Although this matter has nothing to do with him, human kindness and care are always worthy of praise and admiration.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the warm stone path by the lake.
Two handsome young men walked out side by side, talking in low voices as they walked.
One of them was wearing a white robe and the other was wearing a red robe. They were Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke.
When Ji Tianxing looked up at them, they also stopped and saw Ji Tianxing and Xiao Ling'er in the pavilion.
Xiao Chong was startled for a moment, then a contemptuous sneer immediately appeared on his pale face, and he said in a disdainful tone: "Oh, everyone thinks that the most beautiful woman, Xiao Ling'er, is pure and pure, with a pure heart and few desires.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling'er also fell in love with her, and had a tryst with her lover in broad daylight, hiding here and making love to each other...tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Xiao Chong's eyes were very sinister, and his tone was also very weird, which was unbearable.
Xiao Ke glanced at Ji Tianxing, curled his lips and said: "Xiao Ling'er, there are so many young talents in the Xiao family, such as me and Xiao Chong, but you didn't choose any of them.
In the end, you chose a foreign branch disciple. Aren't you just putting flowers on cow dung?"
After saying that, he cast a contemptuous look at Ji Tianxing and shouted coldly: "Boy, this is the Xiao clan, and you, a collateral descendant, are honored to be back here.
You'd better be honest with me and don't think anything wrong, otherwise I will throw you out!"
How could Xiao Ling'er endure such slander from the two people?
She stood up in a hurry and shouted with a frosty face: "Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke! You two bastards, don't stop spitting blood and slandering people's innocence!"
Xiao Chong curled up his lips and said in a strange tone: "Sister Ling'er, don't be so exaggerated! I haven't even touched the corner of your clothes, how can I tarnish your innocence? Is it with my eyes?"
"You...Xiao Chong, you are looking for death!" Xiao Ling'er was so angry that she almost ran away, with dazzling true energy surging all over her body, and she was about to take action immediately.
As a pure and innocent girl, how could she be humiliated and teased in front of someone like this?
Even if she was fighting to the death with Xiao Chong, she couldn't bear this tone.
