Chapter 22: What Kind of Terrible People Are You From the Xiao Family?
Feeling the overwhelming aura radiating from Xiao Yu, Jia Lie Ao's heart was shocked beyond measure.
A Three-Star Dou Practitioner! How is this possible?!
He clearly remembered that when he saw Xiao Yu 2 year ago, she was just an Eight-Star Dou Disciple!
Only 2 year had passed!!!
But soon, He calmed himself.
So what if she's a Three-Star Dou Practitioner?
The guards of the Jia Lie Family were all at least Five-Star Dou Practitioner!
A Three-Star Dou Practitioner would never cause any trouble in front of them!
"Attack!!!"
With His command, the Jia Lie Family guards rushed toward Xiao Yu.
However, in the next moment, as several afterimages flashed around Xiao Yu, the confident expression on his face turned into disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
He stared in horror at the Family guards, who were full of vigor just moments ago, now lying unconscious on the ground, their faces marked with whip scars. Their heads were completely muddled, unable to think.
What just happened???
Looking at Xiao Yu's jade hand holding a long whip, cold sweat drenched Jia Lie Ao's body.
A Three-Star Dou Practitioner... wiped out a group of Jia Lie Family guards, at least Five-Star Dou Practitioner?!
What a joke! How could something so absurd happen in this world?!
At this moment, He instantly recalled the time three months ago when Xiao Yan, with only three stages of Dou Disciple, knocked him unconscious with two strikes.
What kind of terrible people are you from the Xiao Family?!
But whether He believed it or not, the fact wouldn't change.
Looking at Xiao Yu stepping over the bodies of the Jia Lie Family guards, walking toward him with long strides, she seemed like a demon gradually approaching.
At that moment, He truly panicked.
"Y-you, don't come closer! If you dare touch me, my father will never..."
"Shut up, trash."
Xiao Yu coldly sneered at Jia Lie Ao, and with a flick of the whip in her hand, it landed across his face. The powerful force caused him to immediately faint.
As for Liu Xi, he no longer had the arrogance he showed earlier, his face was filled with terror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
For someone like him, Xiao Yu didn't even have the desire to strike. She didn't even want to dirty her whip.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the end of the marketplace. Xiao Yu glanced to the side, and she saw a group of people wearing Xiao Family guard uniforms walking toward her.
Since the New Year was approaching, according to Xiao Family customs, the guards had all gone to prepare for the festival. But upon hearing about the disturbance in the market, they immediately abandoned their work and rushed over.
"Miss Xiao Yu! You're back?"
The leader of the Xiao Family guards paused for a moment when he saw Xiao Yu. As the granddaughter of the Elder, he recognized her immediately. He then looked at the Jia Lie Family guards lying on the ground and the unconscious Jia Lie Ao, as well as the trembling Liu Xi, and was momentarily confused about what had happened.
Xiao Yu nodded lightly and said in a calm voice, "Throw these people out. Don't let them disturb the other people doing business." Then, she glanced at Liu Xi and continued, "As for that guy, beat him half to death before throwing him out. Just don't leave him missing any limbs."
"Understood!"
The leader of the Xiao Family guards immediately responded, signaling the other guards to clean up the mess as per Xiao Yu's instructions. Xiao Yu had no interest in watching any longer, so she walked towards the Xiao Family.
(At this time, Xiao Yan should be at the training ground with the others, right?)
Xiao Yu thought to herself, but when she arrived at the training ground, she didn't hear any sound from inside. Upon entering, she saw an empty training ground, leaving Xiao Yu puzzled.
Where is everyone? Is today a day off?
Confused, Xiao Yu left the training ground and went to the family council hall. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Zhan and the three Elders, including her grandfather, sitting there with worried expressions.
When the Grand Elder saw Xiao Yu enter, he was first taken aback, but then a smile appeared on his face.
"Yu'er! You're back!"
"Grandfather, it's been a year. I've really missed you," Xiao Yu smiled and cupped her fists in greeting. Then she looked at Xiao Zhan and asked, "Patriarch, where did Xiao Yan and the other Xiao Family members go?"
"They're all at the back mountain."
Xiao Zhan replied, which made Xiao Yu even more puzzled.
"Back mountain? What are they doing there?"
"Xiao Yan took all the younger generation to the back mountain for training three months ago. He said they'd be back before the coming-of-age ceremony. Given the time, it should be nearly time."
Why take them to the back mountain for training?
Xiao Yu scratched her head, feeling somewhat helpless. But since it was Xiao Yan's decision, it made sense. Ever since they were young, Xiao Yan had always been the one to lead the charge in doing things that didn't quite make sense. Xiao Yu had long gotten used to it.
But when the back mountain was mentioned, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something, and her face slightly flushed. She then straightened up and said to the Elder.
"Grandfather, I'll go to the back mountain to check."
"Ah~ go ahead."
Although the Grand Elder wanted to spend more time with his granddaughter, he waved his hand lightly, and Xiao Yu immediately turned to leave.
"By the way," as she reached the door, Xiao Yu turned back to look at Xiao Zhan and asked, "Patriarch, when I passed by the Xiao Family marketplace, it felt a little too empty. Many shops were also closed. What happened?"
"Ah, I was just talking to the three Elders about that," Xiao Zhan said, rubbing his temples. "The Jia Lie Family found an Alchemist who made a healing pill called the 'Revival pill.' They attracted all the customers, and as a result, the shops couldn't keep any business."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yu frowned. She recalled the man named Liu Xi she had seen earlier in the marketplace. He was likely the Alchemist the Jia Lie Family had hired. Now, he should have been beaten half to death and thrown out by the Xiao Family guards.
But this matter would have to wait for later.
Xiao Yu strode out of the council hall and headed for the Xiao Family's back mountain.
As she walked up the mountain, Xiao Yu didn't feel the excitement of a long-awaited reunion. Instead, she was filled with deep sorrow.
I wonder how Xiao Yan has been this past year?
Thinking about the energetic young man from the past, the smile of encouragement he gave her even after losing his Dou Qi made Xiao Yu's heart ache.
She went to Jia Nan Academy to find out the cause of Xiao Yan's loss of Dou Qi and a solution. While her own strength had increased over the past two years, she hadn't found any clue about Xiao Yan's condition.
This made Xiao Yu feel a strong sense that the past two years spent at Jia Nan Academy were a waste.
Damn it.
Xiao Yu clenched her teeth and continued walking deeper into the back mountain.
Suddenly, a figure leapt out of the bushes ahead. Xiao Yu instinctively prepared to strike, but when she sensed the familiar aura on the figure, she stopped herself, only to be knocked down onto the ground.
"Damn, I didn't expect to trip while picking up firewood."
The boy who had knocked Xiao Yu down muttered in resignation. When he saw Xiao Yu beneath him, he was first stunned, and then joy filled his face.
"Sister Xiao Yu? You're back!"
Looking at the familiar, determined face before her, Xiao Yu's eyes softened. She smiled and said.
"Ah, I'm back, you little pervert~"
