In the Great Elder's courtyard, Xiao Ning woke up from pain.
"Hiss!"
Xiao Ning sat up in shock and looked at the surrounding scene with some confusion.
His memory is somewhat fragmented.
The last scene in my memory is of me being beaten crazily by someone else, riding on top of my head.
The scene after that was so horrific that it made him feel a little unreal, like he was in a dream.
Zhiah!
The elder came in with a box of ointment. I wonder if it was Xiao Ning's imagination.
He always felt that his grandfather looked a little too pale today!
" Grandpa…hiss!"
As soon as Xiao Ning opened his mouth, he felt the injury on his head. He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and the pain was so painful that he almost burst into tears.
"Don't speak yet, lest you injure the wound on your head."
The Great Elder applied the ointment on Xiao Ning's head, which made him feel much more relaxed.
Even though Xiao Ze used his fighting spirit to beat Xiao Ning all over his head, he never thought of attacking Xiao Ning and seriously injuring him.
But some shock and lessons are needed!
Xiao Ze deliberately used fighting energy to create this big bump on his head, which was difficult to remove and extremely painful.
Even with medical treatment, Xiao Ning will still have to feel the pain in the next few days and live with a head full of bumps and a head like a pig's head.
"What happened to Grandpa? The guy who hit me...has Xiao Ze been punished?"
The great elder had just finished applying the ointment, and Xiao Ning couldn't wait to ask.
It attracted a strange look from the great elder.
"Don't you remember what happened in the Douji Pavilion?"
Xiao Ning was stunned for a moment, and then began to search the memories in his mind.
"I remember being pinned down by him and beaten violently. I don't know if it hurt too much. I saw hallucinations. Grandpa, you are actually fighting with the clan leader..."
"It's not an illusion!"
The Great Elder interrupted Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and he looked at the Great Elder with some worry.
"Grandpa, are you not injured? The patriarch is a five-star fighting master!"
"It's nothing serious." The great elder shook his head.
"Then...Grandpa, you haven't told me yet, has Xiao Ze been punished in any way?"
Xiao Ning still couldn't forget Xiao Ze. Although grandpa applied ointment, he could still feel pain on his head.
Without looking in the mirror, Xiao Ning already knew what his head looked like. It would definitely turn into a big pig head.
It is impossible to say that Xiao Ning does not resent Xiao Ze!
Hearing this, the First Elder sat up straight, looked at Xiao Ning, and said seriously: "He has not been punished in any way, and you should not provoke him again in the future!"
" Ah? Why? Grandpa, you are the great elder, you must avenge me!"
Xiao Ning was a little unbelievable. Normally, the great elder would be very protective of him.
Why would you say such a thing now and ask him not to provoke Xiao Ze?
"I have temporarily resigned from the position of Great Elder...Oh, Xiao Ning, it's time for you to grow up."
The Great Elder sighed and said to Xiao Ning in a serious voice.
During the period when Xiao Ning was in coma, the First Elder prepared ointment and looked at Xiao Ning lying on the bed. He felt heartbroken.
But he also figured it out.
Now that Xiao Zhan has a proud son, Xiao Ze, who has a very high voice in the family, there is no need to compete with him for power.
Since you are now deprived of your position as the Great Elder, you should be more honest and don't cause any more trouble.
After a while, if he achieves one or two meritorious deeds for the Xiao family, he will be able to return to his position as the Great Elder.
But if you still go against Xiao Zhan, being revoked and expelled from the Xiao family will probably be the lightest punishment.
Xiao Ning didn't know about the great elder's psychological changes.
When he heard that his grandfather was no longer the Great Elder, it was like a thunderbolt, and he was stunned.
"How is it possible? The patriarch cannot easily deprive the great elder of his position, right?"
Xiao Ning said in surprise. The elder patted Xiao Ning on the shoulder to calm him down.
Immediately, I slowly told what happened in the Douji Pavilion after Xiao Ning fell into coma.
"Xiao Ze is a nine-star fighter!!!"
Xiao Ning screamed and couldn't help but touch his head.
Have you actually survived the Nine-Star Fighter's fist?
Xiao Ning came back to his senses and had some enlightenment.
It's not that Xiao Ze couldn't do it, but Xiao Ze just gave him a lesson and didn't want his life.
Xiao Ning was extremely happy that Xiao Ze still took into account the friendship of the same clan!
Otherwise, he might not even be able to see his grandpa at this time!
The resentment towards Xiao Ze for beating him into a pig's head also quickly disappeared.
"I can't afford to offend, I really can't afford to offend!"
Xiao Ning couldn't help but muttered, and the elder's eyes were pleased when he heard this.
The elder is now afraid that his grandson will lose his mind and insist on going against Xiao Ze.
"That's right, Xiao Ze is something you absolutely cannot afford to offend. Now grandpa, I have only temporarily lost my position as great elder."
The Great Elder persuaded with earnest words.
"As long as you perform well in the future, you may be able to return to the position of great elder."
"As long as Xiao Ze grows up in the future, our Xiao family will definitely gain more development."
"At that time, by virtue of my position as Great Elder, I will definitely be able to obtain more cultivation resources for you."
"You should also work hard and practice hard, and stop being idle."
Xiao Ning looked at the elder's face, which seemed to have aged several years. His eyes were a little moist and his nose felt sore.
Grandpa has paid so much for him, endured the humiliation, and even went to please Xiao Ze!
He himself cannot act arbitrarily, he must listen to his grandfather's words!
"I understand, grandpa, I will never provoke Xiao Ze again. I will apologize to Xiao Yan again when I get the chance!"
The great elder took advantage of the situation and said: "It would be better if I could ask Xiao Yan to help me with a few words of kindness to restore my image with Xiao Ze."
"Yeah!" Xiao Ning nodded solemnly.
Now through his grandfather's enlightenment, he also knows that Xiao Ze is the hope of the Xiao family's future development.
Hold this thigh tightly and it's absolutely right!
"Okay, you can rest for a while. You are not allowed to go out again until the injury on your head heals!"
The elder helped Xiao Ning lie down, and Xiao Ning seemed to have grown up during this incident.
He nodded obediently and lay down on the bed.
…
Back mountain.
Xiao Ze dodged and avoided Xiao Xun'er's attack.
"Okay, let's call it a day, too much is not enough."
Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Xiao Xun'er also breathed a sigh of relief. After a fierce fight, she was already dripping with sweat.
"Brother Xiao Ze, I feel that my mastery of Yan's return attack has improved a lot."
"Well, if you try to master the Yan's Return Attack to a great level as soon as possible, you will be inferior to Jingyi. The Yan's Return Attack is an advanced Xuan-level fighting skill, which is enough to challenge you even beyond the next level."
After Xiao Ze finished speaking, he took out a box from a hidden corner and opened it to find some common barbecue ingredients.
"Shall we have barbecue today?"
"Yes, Xun'er, go and see if the rabbit nest nearby has given birth to babies again. Catch one or two and bring them back."
"Get the order!"
Xiao Xun'er said playfully. The figure is like a nimble butterfly, leaping towards the other end of the woods.
Xiao Ze stayed where he was, preparing to roast rabbit.
Rabbits often overrun the hills behind the Xiao family, and sometimes the Xiao family's children are even sent to clean them up.
After all, rabbits live in a large litter for a lifetime and have a short reproductive cycle. If there are no natural enemies, the population can easily expand.
Xiao Ze often took Xiao Xun'er with him to catch rabbits and roast them in the back mountains.
It can be regarded as reducing the burden for the children of the Xiao family.
After a while, Xiao Xun'er held a rabbit's ears in each hand.
One rabbit has twitchy legs, and the other rabbit has blurry eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh, remembering the familiar verses from before.
The male rabbit's feet are twitchy, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred.
Of course, both female and male rabbits will have fluttering feet and blurred eyes, which cannot be used to judge whether they are male or female.
Xiao Ze took it and took a look, and after a little identification, he found that both of them were female rabbits.
He is very skilled in handling rabbits.
Not long after, two skinned rabbits were already placed on the fire.
As the flames burned, a layer of golden oil seeped out of the skin and dripped on the flames, making a sizzling sound.
As dusk approached, the light in the woods was dim, leaving only the firelight shining on their faces.
Xiao Ze was concentrating on roasting the rabbit, while Xiao Xun'er sat quietly beside him, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Xiao Ze like this.
In addition to the chirping of insects and birds, the only sound around was the crackling sound of firewood being burned and exploding.
It was a little noisy, but it made the two of them feel warm.
