Chapter 103: Chapter 103

In Xiao Linfeng’s study.

“Qingyan, have you advanced by medicine?” Xiao Linfeng was staring at Xiao Qingyan and asked unhappily.

Xiao Qingyan said sullenly, “Who told you this, father? Is it the second brother or third brother?”

Seeing Xiao Qingyan’s arrogant face, Xiao Linfeng said with anger, “Don’t be so nosy, just answer me, yes or no?”

Xiao Qingyan nodded, “Yes, father. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with advancing by medicine. I’ve advanced, anyway. Why care about that much? Not everyone can buy the miraculous medicine, and the Academy has restricted each student to only one time of buying the miraculous medicine.”

Xiao Linfeng said unhappily, “Me and your mother, we have spent much energy on you. How come you don’t care about yourself at all?”

“Father, it’s simply a matter of taking a pill of medicine, what’s the big deal? What does it have to do with self-care?” Xiao Qingyan said with grievance.

Xiao Linfeng said with a gloomy face, “You are still unrepentant. What kind of medicine have you taken? Spirit-breaking pill! How could you take such medicine when you’re still at level five? Even if you need to take medicine, you should take it after you advance to level six.”

Xiao Qingyan squinted his eyes, “The two cases are almost the same, there’s only a difference of one level.”

“How can they be the same? Why can’t you be calculative?” Xiao Linfeng scolded.

Xiao Qingyan showed an unhappy face and asked, “Father, do you think I am worthless and you’ve regretted your special training on me?”

“Motherf**ker, get the hell out of here!” Xiao Linfeng shouted.

Xiao Qingyan pulled a long face and walked out.

Seeing Xiao Linfeng can’t get his anger to subside, Wang Lu just sighed and didn’t know what to say.

“That bastard, he still shows an attitude like that at this time.” Xiao Linfeng gnashed his teeth.

Wang Lu looked at Xiao Linfeng and said, “Well, calm down. What’s done is done, it’s no use getting angry. If the eldest is really worthless, it is the same to cultivate the third. And even if the eldest has taken the Spirit-breaking pill, I think it should be OK for him to advance to level seven. That’s enough to be an elder in this family with such power.”

Wang Lu slightly sighed. Xiao Qingyan was always her favorite child, so Wang Lu was hesitant to part with him at this time. But Wang Lu cared more about the future of this family than the child she loved.

Xiao Qingyan said with an unhappy face, “I have expected him to advance to level nine. Such being the case, we can just let him have his way.”

……

Zheng Pei’er had already waited him outside. “What’s your situation?”

Xiao Qingyan shook his head and said, “I’m OK. It’s just that father might have heard some gossip and been angry with me. The second and third brothers must have said something to our parents.”

Xiao Qingyan clenched his fists. After returning the Academy, he did have practiced hard for some time, but he found that it brought little effect.

Though Xiao Qingyan had been in a bad mood at that time, there were still people keep whispering in his ear that his two younger brothers were very bully, given that they hardly relied on their family, they had advanced to level five and had built their family business.

But as to him, he had only advanced to level five after their parents had put most of the energy on him. If their parents had specially cultivated his two younger brothers, they would have advanced to level six already.

Xiao Qingyan couldn’t accept that, and in a fit of temper, he had bought the medicine from the Academy, and advanced to level six soon as expected later.

After some hesitation, Zheng Pei’er asked him, “Have you really taken the medicine?”

Xiao Qingyan looked into the nervous look of Zheng Pei’er and said discontentedly, “Yes, I have. So what?”

Zheng Pei’er shook her head and replied, “Nothing.”

Xiao Qingyan snorted and said, “It must be either Xiao Jingting or Xiao Jinfeng has gossiped about me before our father.”

“Qingyan, I heard that taking the medicine too early can make the later practice be more difficult.” Zheng Pei’er said after some hesitation.

Xiao Qingyan waved his hand and said carelessly, “It doesn’t matter. That’s only sensational and senseless saying. In fact, there will be few negative effects.”

Zheng Pei’er felt uneasy in heart, but she still showed a smile and said, “Well, that’s good.”

Xiao Qingyan said angrily, “I’m just very annoyed. I gotta go.”

Wang Lu Looked at Xiao Qingyan’s back, then closed her eyes and thought that how did she marry such an idiot? Xiao Linfeng must have got furious with him.

…………

When Xiao Yuerong was running out and seeing the pale look of Zheng Pei’er, he asked, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

Zheng Pei’er shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

“Mom, I heard the little fool say that the third uncle usually makes delicious food at home for him.” Xiao Yuerong said with jealousy.

Zheng Pei’er said unhappily, “Eat, eat, eat! What else do you know?”

Zheng Yuerong pouted and said in anger, “But mom, you have said that the little fool is such an idiot that he is even not worthy of carrying my shoes. But he eats better than me, he is dressed better than me and he has more pocket money than me.”

Zheng Pei’er felt guilty about what Xiao Yuerong said. Indeed, the little fool had actually lived a better life than her sons now.

“Brother, you can just say less.” Xiao Yuefeng said coldly.

Xiao Yuerong gave Xiao Yuefeng a glimpse and shut up embarrassedly. Though Xiao Yuerong was a bully in the Xiao family, he feared his elder brother.

“Mom, I see that my grandparents are in a bad look. Since my father has been called over, has father done anything wrong?” asked Xiao Yuefeng.

Zheng Pei’er shook her head and replied, “No, he hasn’t.”

“But I’ve heard from my cousins that father has advanced to level six by some inappropriate way, thus overdrawn his future potential in advance, and it may be hard for him to advance to level seven. And therefore, my grandparents may change to give their specially training on the third uncle from now on,” said Xiao Yuefeng.

Zheng Pei’er stared at Xiao Yuefeng and asked, “Where did you hear it?”

“From my cousins,” replied Xiao Yuefeng.

Zheng Pei’er darkened her face and thought, the news had actually spread so fast with the kids in the family all knowing it, and everybody had actually felt that Xiao Qingyan was failed.

“Mom, what my cousins say is not true, right?” asked Xiao Yuefeng.

Zheng Pei’er gnashed her teeth. Spirit-breaking pill was so precious that there were few people had ever taken it, so it’s hard to say what effects it would bring.

Now, it’s all up to their parents. Their parents had originally been impressed by Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting; they were likely more dissatisfied with Qingyan on account of such incident.
