Rising Darkness

Chapter 9 Teacher
It has been more than half a month since the last fight with Xiao Ding, Xiao Yue's reputation as a genius has gradually spread in the family, although at the beginning, many clansmen always looked at him with disbelief and suspicion, But Xiao Yue's response to this is to deliberately show her strength and maturity of thinking in front of others.

Time passed, and after half a month, those skeptical gazes gradually turned into expectations and admiration. Although the peers were still alienated from him, their attitude towards him also changed from indifference to awe.The only thing that troubled Xiao Yue was that many cute little girls began to like to join him, which made him unable to help feeling that girls from other worlds were too precocious!

In addition, his mother, Zhao Yi, was suddenly appointed and promoted by the family not long ago, and took over a large elixir shop. Both the family status and treatment were greatly improved!Zhao Yi was quite baffled by this, but Xiao Yue understood that it was probably because the upper echelons of the family had noticed him and successfully proved his talent. I didn't take the initiative to contact him, presumably I hope to observe for a while.

During this period, Xiao Yue was not idle either. Apart from attending classes and practicing normally, she went out with Xiao Li and the others to have a fight with local gangsters. Relax and relax!In addition, most of the time is spent on making gunpowder, which he has high hopes for. After hundreds of blends, he has finally made the most reasonable ratio of raw materials.

But he was not too happy, probably because even if this kind of thing is completed, he has no channels to turn it into money. In fact, the best way is to find a big power to cooperate and get a share!But Pifu is not guilty, and Huaibi is guilty. He believes that any discerning person will not necessarily do what he thinks if he understands the value of the gunpowder.

Therefore, he first ruled out the idea of ​​seeking cooperation from outside forces, and instead focused on the family. After all, his surname is Xiao, and it is better not to do such a thing of elbowing out!However, if he is just an ordinary clansman, he may not get any expectations if he takes the initiative to seek high-level cooperation. What benefits, at most, just give some comfort.

That's why he has been trying so hard to sell himself during this period of time, just hoping to have enough weight in the hearts of those high-level people, so as to expect to gain enough benefits in this cooperation!But the family has not taken the initiative to summon him up to now, and has not even proposed a chance to cooperate, which really made him flustered. In the end, he couldn't stand being passive and decided to take the initiative...

"Little Ye Zi, what on earth are you doing today, you want me to call my brother out together?" Outside the school, looking at the other children with happy little faces returning home one after another, Xiao Li frowned and leaned against the school doorpost, feeling bored He tilted his head lazily.

"Hey! You'll know in a while, let's wait for the clan brother to arrive for now! Why, Young Master Li is so impatient?" Xiao Yue shrugged and smiled lightly, trying to keep a mysterious look while not forgetting to tease him.

"Cut, it's fine if you don't say anything, it's so mysterious!" Rolling his eyes, maybe because he was too boring, Xiao Li let out a weak disdain, and then continued to wait helplessly, complaining: "Really, why is the elder brother so procrastinating? too slow!"

"Maybe there is something wrong?" Xiao Yue was also a little puzzled. The Xiao Ding he knew was a very self-disciplined person. It should be impossible to do something like releasing pigeons, so he could only be wronged by something.

"Ghost knows!" Xiao Li pouted impatiently.

"Hehe!" Regarding the other party's impatience, Xiao Yue just smiled and didn't comment much.

"Xiao Li, little leaf!"

Finally hearing Xiao Ding's voice, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows, looked up at the person who came, and said with a light smile, "Here we come! Hmm... Where is it?"

However, seeing Xiao Ding was accompanied by a vigorous, five-year-old man with a slightly majestic brow, Xiao Yue faintly felt familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"Hey! Grandpa! When did you come back?" Xiao Yue was puzzled, Xiao Li had already rushed forward and yelled carelessly.

"Haha! Xiao Li! Grandpa is back!"

The old man laughed, and then proudly gave Xiao Li a bear hug, which seemed quite intimate, so Xiao Yue understood the identity of the old man, it was Xiao Lin, the former patriarch of the family, and the one who played the role of protagonists Xiao Yan and Nalan. Jie made a baby marriage, which led to one of the sources of the divorce flow at the beginning of the story.

Although she is not familiar with this old patriarch, Xiao Yue has heard a little bit about his style. It is said that since Xiao Zhan gave birth to Xiao Ding, the other party has simply removed the position of patriarch, and then ran around the world with his hands, With his strength in fighting spirits, ordinary people would not dare to provoke him, and he lived a free and easy life.

It's just that this old man's free and easy and wanton made Xiao Yue feel a little regretful besides admiration. The other party is chic and unrestrained, but it is precisely because of this character that he was seriously injured in the battle with the enemy and finally died. !

Regarding the other party's future encounters, Xiao Yue didn't intend to remind him, at least not now.After all, in the final analysis, he is not familiar with each other, let alone has any close relationship, even though he is the biological grandfather of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and even the former patriarch of the family!But to be honest, even if he reminded him, what's the benefit? It's one thing whether the other party believes it or not. If it arouses the other party's resentment, it would be stupid!So whether the other party dies or not is none of his business, and meddling indiscriminately may affect the plot instead.

But regarding his arrival, although Xiao Yue did not understand the intention of the other party's visit, she was still a little surprised.Originally, he wanted to convey his research results to the higher-ups through the two brothers Xiao Ding, but now he has saved a lot of effort.If it was conveyed through the mouth of the old patriarch, it would undoubtedly be more convincing. Maybe he was a little worried that the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Ding were small talkers and would not be taken seriously, but now he is full of confidence.The only doubt is whether the thing that will be released later can successfully impress the other party.

"Little Yezi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This is my grandfather. These years, my grandfather seldom returns to the family. I think you are not familiar with it!" Xiao Ding explained quickly when Xiao Ding was in a daze.

In fact, Xiao Ding was also very puzzled by his grandfather's sudden request to come with him. Xiao Ding was also very happy to see his grandfather who had been away from home for a long time and suddenly returned to the family early this morning. He just dragged his grandfather and locked him in the room for more than half an hour, and when he came out, when he heard that he was going out to find Xiao Yue, he impatiently asked to follow him.

Not noticing the doubt in Xiao Ding's eyes, she nodded, Xiao Yue stepped forward unhurriedly, bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Xiao Yue has seen the old patriarch!"

Although she knew that the other party would only be reduced to a background in the future, Xiao Yue, as a member of the Xiao family, still had to do the necessary gestures and etiquette.

After Xiao Lin comforted Xiao Li, he kept looking up and down at Xiao Yue under the puzzled eyes of several people, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, the naked heat in his eyes made Xiao Yue's heart tremble.

"You are Xiao Yue, right! Not bad!" After about ten seconds, he opened his mouth, his voice was not loud, but very thick, with a sense of expectation in his tone.

"Yes!" Xiao Yue responded, and he also noticed the strangeness of the other party. His heart moved, and he suddenly felt that the high-level family did not pay enough attention to him as he thought.

Sure enough, Xiao Lin didn't talk too much, and cut straight to the point: "Speaking of which, it's because of you that I will return to the family this time! Zhan'er asked me to be your teacher to guide your cultivation, and I agree!"

"what……!"

Not only Xiao Yue was stunned, but Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also surprised. You must know that their grandfather is a strong man at the Dou Ling level. In the past, those elders and some high-level members of the family begged him to take his own children as disciples, but he refused. Why did she suddenly ask to be Xiao Yue's teacher like this?
Xiao Yue was undoubtedly shocked and inexplicable. Although she always wanted the family to pay attention and value him, but all of a sudden, she paid so much attention that even the only strong fighter in the family invited out of the mountain to teach him, that would seem too weird!

"Why?" Although there were ups and downs in his heart, Xiao Feng still pretended to be calm on the surface, raised his small head and asked straightforwardly the doubts in his heart.

"Oh, why do you ask why? Shouldn't you be shocked and excited now?" Seeing that Xiao Yue didn't get carried away with joy because of this, she responded calmly and asked the reason. Such a different performance from other young children made her Xiao Lin couldn't help being surprised and admiring.

"It's too abnormal. Even though I've shown great talent these days, it's far from earth-shattering. I really can't think of any reason to alert the family to let you come out to teach me!" Xiao Yue has already Calming down the turmoil in my heart, I asked in a childish voice, neither humble nor overbearing.

It is undoubtedly very stupid to continue to pretend to be stupid and cute now. Not only will it make others despise him, but it is also meaningless.

"Hehe, it's really beyond my expectation! You are very smart, and your mind is much more mature than the average peers. Xiao Ding is far behind you just because of your caution!" Xiao Lin chuckled and looked at Xiao Ding. Yue's eyes became more and more satisfied, and she couldn't help but admire sincerely.

"You're too much! Now please answer my question first, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to accept you as my teacher with peace of mind!"

Xiao Yue's small face was still calm, as if the person in front of her was not a strong fighting spirit, she still stared blankly but politely and asked.

This kind of attitude made Xiao Ding and Xiao Li on the side dumbfounded for a while. When have they ever seen other people speak to their grandfather in such a direct way, not to mention that the other party still seems dissatisfied with being accepted as a disciple by their grandfather? The high-level members of the family who are desperately looking for what they want know, and wonder if they will be so depressed that they vomit blood.

"Being cautious is a good thing, but in my opinion, your current vigilance is obviously a bit redundant. I can't tell you the specific reason, at least you are not qualified to know it yet, but I can tell you clearly that your own potential is far away. It is far from being as ordinary and simple as you think, once all these potentials are unearthed, it will surely shock the world!" Xiao Lin did not answer Xiao Yue's question directly, but looked at him with some inscrutable and said in a deep voice, in the hoarse voice There is a kind of thick fanaticism.

"potential?"

Although the other party didn't say it clearly, Xiao Yue combined the plot of the original work and the information revealed in the other party's words, and quickly deduced that the cause was close to ten.In his opinion, the reason why the Neng family showed such importance to a clan is only the blood of Emperor Dou. Awakening is almost the same. For the high-level people who know the basics, it is really easy to connect him with the blood of Emperor Dou.

Xiao Yue didn't expect this kind of result, and she felt quite dumbfounded, but she didn't have the idea of ​​telling the truth. After all, the family's guessing and attention to him now is undoubtedly very beneficial to him Yes, at least much better and more perfect than the goal he set at the beginning.

Knowing the reason, Xiao Yue naturally understood how to get the greatest benefit, and no longer hesitated, with a solemn face, she immediately bowed three times and nine times to Xiao Lin, respectfully saying: "Xiao Yue pays homage to the teacher!"

"Haha... good! Xiao Yue! Now that you have become my disciple, you can't disgrace the old man, let alone live up to the family's expectations!" Xiao Lin laughed, looking very satisfied, and at the same time he didn't forget to warn.

"The disciple will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations. As long as the family is willing to train me, the disciple will surely bring glory to the family." To this, Xiao Yue also responded with a serious face.

"Very good, I believe you won't let me and the family down." Xiao Lin's face blossomed into a smile, and then he patted Xiao Yue's small head fiercely under Xiao Yue's resentful eyes. Xiao Yue's answer is quite satisfactory.

"Ah! That's right...!"

Desperately getting rid of Xiao Lin's palm, Xiao Yue suddenly smiled strangely on her face, tilted her head to face Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were obviously stunned by a series of unexpected changes, and said teasingly: "Now...with my Seniority, do you have to call me uncle! Two good nephews... Hehe!"

"...!" The corners of the mouths of the two brothers twitched at the same time, with a feeling of bleakness in the wind.

"Hahaha...!" Seeing this, Xiao Lin was the first to laugh heartily.

Immediately, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but look up at the sky, silently shedding silent tears in their hearts.

Xiao Yue, who quietly watched this interesting scene, looked harmless on the surface, glanced at Xiao Lin's bold appearance from the corner of her eyes, but secretly said in her heart: "Hehe... Teacher? As long as you live up to me, I won't let you down in this life." Let you die easily!"
