Chapter 22 Family Dinner
Xu Family Martial Arts Hall.

A few people walked and chatted there, the leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed in black, with a hulking back, a resolute face, and a faint air of iron and blood killing him.

"Brother Xu Hai, in this family competition, you are the only one who can compete with Xu Hong for the leader." The boy who spoke seemed to admire the boy in black and complimented him.

Xu Hai said lightly: "I worshiped under my master Dugu old man when I was seven years old. For more than eight years, I have wandered around with him. I have been to Tiandang Mountains to kill wild beasts, and I have walked with the escort team. I have been in Heilongshan and Heilongzhai. At that time, he used his cultivation at the peak of the Mortal Martial Realm to kill the small leader of the bandits at the early stage of the Qi Martial Realm. Later, he followed his master to the Liuyan Desert and ran for three months on foot. He was hungry, thirsty and hot. Finally broke through to the Qiwu realm in a desperate situation."

"Hmph, is it amazing to have experienced it? You will never know the difference between the two until you fight Brother Hong." Not far away, three or four people came over, Ye Xumei in a red dress looked at Xu Hai provocatively .

Xu Hai glanced at Xu Mei: "It is true that he is very powerful, and his cultivation at the fourth level of the Qi Martial Realm has a great advantage, but for me who has experienced many hardships, he is not invincible."

"On the contrary, it's you, Xu Mei. The aptitude tested at the beginning was far higher than mine. Now, what kind of cultivation level are you?

"You! Brother Hong is in control of the Xu family." Xu Meijiao laughed, pointing at Xu Hai and said, "At that time, you can continue to wander the world with your master, but what about your father and your sister?"

"They have told me with their choices, and I believe they will not regret it."

Xu Hai said that Xu Mei was speechless, and led her away in shame and anger.

When Xu Mei and her group left, the young man next to Xu Hai said, "Brother Xu Hai, I support you, then Xu Hong is nothing special."

Xu Hai shook his head, "No, to be honest, Xu Hong's strength is far beyond mine, but how can a fighter know that he will fail and not work hard, how can he improve? Only by unswervingly believing in himself and in his own fist, this The world will recognize you!"

"By the way, is there any new powerful person in the Xu family recently?" Xu Hai asked.

"The top three should be Brother Xu Hai, Xu Hong, and then Xu Mei just now."

"Where's that Xu Chen?"

The disciples of the Xu family around him all had weird expressions in their eyes: "Xu Chen, his temperament has changed a lot, but he is still a waste in terms of cultivation, at most he is only at the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!"

"Hey! Opportunities are different for everyone. If I had stuck to the Xu family back then, I would only be at this level now."

"How is it possible, that guy is useless other than being the godson of the Patriarch, so he can be compared with Brother Xu Hai."

"Being able to cultivate to the sixth level of the Mortal Martial Realm shows that he has put in a lot of hard work. His aptitude tested at that time was the worst." When Xu Hai talked about Xu Chen, he thought of the stubborn young boy back then in his mind. Gently said, in fact, we are all the same kind of people.

……

The sky was getting dark, a few oil lamps were lit, and the lobby was bright.

The family dinner has begun.

Although it is a dinner party, it is actually a test for children who have reached the age of 15. Only those who have reached the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm will be eligible to participate in the family competition ten days later.

At the same time, all the children above the seventh level of the mortal martial arts have a chance to enter the family's martial arts pavilion.

It can be said that the scenery is infinite!
If they fail to reach the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, their right of residence will be deprived and they will be assigned to serve in the family business.

Therefore, family dinners are generally called the last supper, which is really happy for a few families and sad for a few!

The head of the family, Xu Qingyang, placed the table in the center of the hall, and then dozens of tables were dotted around the surroundings.

Now, around the main table, there are more than a dozen disciples sitting sparsely, all of them are disciples of the family line, Xu Hai and Xu Xiaoqian are among them.

The difference from the past is that the second table is full, and there are people joining in a steady stream.

Xu Xiaoqian looked at the children of the family who usually surrounded her, but now they turned against each other, her brows were erected, "This bunch of idiots!"

Xu Hai frowned, and said in surprise: "How did Xu Hong gather so many people?"

"Haha! Everyone is here? Let's get started!" The crowd lined up automatically, and a burly middle-aged man walked over. He was wearing a purple brocade robe with wide sleeves and a chest. The vividly embroidered tiger was [-]% similar to Xu Qingyang's patriarch's tiger suit!

"How is it possible? Master Xu Chen hasn't come here yet. Why did he announce the start?" A disciple beside Xu Qingyang glared at him, but was interrupted by Xu Qingyang waving his hand.

The Great Elder Shi Shiran walked up to Xu Qingyang and sat down, completely ignoring the angry eyes of the people around him, staring at where the tiger eyes were, and the crowd in that place had to stop breathing for fear of attracting his attention. Is full of ambition.

Xu Hong and Xu Mei, who followed the Great Elder, looked down on everyone with a haughty expression.

"It seems that the third child has indeed secretly taken refuge in that old man Xu Qingba!"

Xu Mei standing next to the First Elder is a clear proof, and Xu Qingyang also has a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He and the Third Elder Xu Qingming are brothers of the same mother. They are betrayed at this moment, and they feel very uncomfortable!

clang!clang!clang!
Following the three bells that signaled the start of the family dinner, everyone in the hall stood solemnly.

In front of the dining table, the boys and girls who were about to be judged were standing anxiously. Some of them who usually performed well did not have much nervousness on their faces, while some of those with average or low talents showed hesitation and apprehension.

Xu Qingyang looked at the clansmen with different expressions with a sullen face, and sighed softly in his heart, Chen'er, can you pass this test?

"Patriarch, the time has come, why hasn't Xu Chen arrived yet?" The third elder beside Xu Qingyang asked with a frown.

Xu Qingyang glanced at him coldly, and said in a flat tone: "Let's start when the time is up, why does the third elder have to wait for him to come?"

Choked by Xu Qingyang, the third elder turned his head away with an ugly face, but the first elder snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to open the back door to him, and use all the family's resources to buy pills. In the end, he still failed to reach the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, that's all, aptitude is innate and no one can force it. But at this moment, he was too scared to appear on the stage, and became a coward. Xu Qingyang, what's in your heart right now?"

Sure enough, the Great Elder's words caused a commotion. A month ago, there were rumors that Xu Qingyang embezzled all the resources in the clan to buy pills to cultivate Xu Chen.At that time, not many people believed it, but later on, the rumor became more and more popular, and there was even a basis for it. No one from the Patriarch came out to clarify, and Xu Chen's good-for-nothing 'disappeared' again, and the matter became heated.

In the end, the Supreme Elder was alarmed to leave the customs in person, and he directly took over Xu Qingyang's Patriarch's seal, and only then temporarily calmed down the matter.

The people around Xu Qingyang were worried for a while. Although they knew Xu Qingyang's fairness in their hearts, they were all afraid that he would lose his position because of family affection at a critical moment and make a big mistake for a while.

"Haha! If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!" Xu Qingyang laughed freely, "I, Xu Qingyang, have made contributions to the family in the past 20 years. Everyone can see it. When did I, Xu Qingyang, seek personal gain?"

"Oh? It's hard to say." Xu Qingba narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "I'm afraid only after the family dinner, the Supreme Elder's own investigation will be enough to convince everyone."

The corners of Xu Qingyang's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak anymore. He already knew what the Supreme Elder meant.

If there is no major matter in the Xu family, it is usually discussed by the elders of the family, and finally the head of the family makes a decision. In the past few decades, due to Xu Qingyang's outstanding contributions, most of the decisions have been made by him alone.

But there is only one exception, and that is the crisis that threatens the life and death of the family!

Xu Qingyang felt sad, the Xu family was still too weak to completely ignore the threat from the seventh-rank sect.Although Chen'er only made a three-year agreement with the Extreme Sword Sect, the Extreme Sword Sect did not make things difficult on purpose.

The elder Taishang followed Xu Qingba's wishes and was eager to remove their father and son from the Xu family. This is to put aside the relationship completely!
However, Xu Qingyang still couldn't hate it in his heart, and he didn't want the Xu family's thousand-year-old foundation to be destroyed.

Just when Xu Qingyang was troubled in his heart, the atmosphere in the field became a little chaotic.

At this time, a clear voice came into the field: "What are you all doing in a daze? Eat to your heart's content! How embarrassing are so many people waiting for me!"

Turning his gaze, a firm figure was slowly approaching the entrance of the hall, and his calm pace did not seem to be stagnant due to too many gazes.

Squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the faint sarcasm on the young man's face in the distance, Xu Qingyang's troubles were all gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief...
