Chapter 4: The Return of Waste

Although I do not understand what has happened, the fact that Xiao Rang dares to handle the assassination attempt himself indicates that it is not a negative change

This scolding is truly sensational; no one has ever dared to insult the young master of the Xiao family in such a manner

My head must have been injured, how could I mistake my uncle for someone else? However, to be fair, my uncle does resemble that beast who wants to kill me; they look almost identical. If I didn't know that my uncle is indeed my uncle, I might have thought he was the murderer.

This statement, once made, is astonishing and earth-shattering

Xiao Rang's scolding came too suddenly; no one could have anticipated that the person who had just been so respectful a moment ago would undergo such a shocking reversal in the next moment

Xiao Yuanshan also transmitted a message to Xiao Rang, "Rang'er, do not have any concerns. I am still the head of the family. If it is indeed that Xiao Zhan, I will make him pay the price."

Being scolded face-to-face by Xiao Rang, a murderous intent filled Xiao Zhan's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Rang, are you seeking death?"

I initially thought that heaven had opened its eyes to rid the Xiao family of this useless person, but who would have thought that heaven does not align with human wishes

When the training ground had quieted down considerably, Xiao Rang turned around, faced Xiao Yuantong, and respectfully said, "As a member of the Xiao family, I should not be so narrow-minded; my uncle's admonition is indeed correct."

Xiao Yuanshan cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Rang, as he always felt that his son had undergone certain changes

Do not be deceived by its small size; this tiny peanut, infused with Xiao Yuantong's true essence, could easily penetrate a wall. If Xiao Rang were to be hit by it, he would surely have a hole that is transparent from front to back

Xiao Rang cast a seemingly smiling glance at Xiao Zhan on the arena and shouted, "Father, the one who wants to kill me is a beast, a heartless and ungrateful beast!"

However, soon Xiao Zhan's expression returned to normal, with a hint of disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Even if you are lucky enough to survive, so what? A waste is still a waste! As for me, I am about to become an inner disciple of the Giant Que Sect, becoming a being you will look up to!"

Xiao Yuanshan was very eager to see how Xiao Rang would handle this matter with his cultivation at the first level of fetal breathing

With Xiao Yuanshan's cultivation, he could easily see that Xiao Rang had already opened up his Qi Sea, reaching the first level of fetal breathing

Xiao Rang crossed his arms and sneered, "It is not that I am fortunate, but rather that the one who attempted to kill me is utterly incompetent. Even a waste like me, who cannot even open my own Qi Sea, could not be killed by him. The one who struck must truly be beyond redemption! He must be the offspring of some old beast mating with a wild dog!"

Upon seeing Xiao Rang, Xiao Zhan, who was floating on the arena, immediately changed his expression, "Isn't this waste supposed to have fallen off a cliff? How can he still appear here?"

Uncle is being too much!

Xiao Rang raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Zhan, you keep calling me a waste; don't you think that's excessive?"

In an instant, the entire training ground fell silent, with a buzzing sound echoing in everyone's ears, resonating with Xiao Rang's thunderous scolding voice.

How could that waste appear? Wasn't he supposed to have fallen off the cliff?

Is your heart truly so narrow? How did Xiao Yuantong speak of Xiao Rang? Xiao Rang returned it just as it was.

If you want to seek death, then go jump off a cliff; running around during the Dragon's Battle is just nonsense

Xiao Yuanshan also stepped down from the head of the family seat and said solemnly, "Let me ask you, what is the truth behind your fall from the cliff this time? Tell your father, and I will definitely stand up for you!"

On the arena, Xiao Zhan pressed down, and the surroundings fell silent. He stood on the stage, looking down at Xiao Rang with a condescending gaze, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Xiao Rang, you haven't died yet; you really are quite lucky to be alive."

Xiao Yuanshan threw a stone, knocking down the peanut. "Elder brother, please forgive me for my inadvertent insult; it was not my intention to offend you. Why must you hold a grudge against a younger generation?"

Standing beside Xiao Yuanshan, Xiao Qixue felt a surge of anger and was about to step forward, but a large hand rested on her shoulder

Feeling the concern from Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Qixue, Xiao Rang experienced a warm sensation in his heart. "Father, I actually did not fall off the cliff by myself; rather, someone pushed me down. Someone wants to kill me"

Waste, dare to provoke the warrior? Are you tired of living?

Xiao Qixue playfully pinched Xiao Rang and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is it Xiao Zhan?"

The return of Xiao Rang is unwelcome to many

"The waste of a picture book is truly fortunate to be alive; it's a pity that it hasn't perished despite that."

Let brother!

It is simply that one is useless oneself, yet does not allow others to speak of it; is there still any sense of justice left

"Zhan Ge did not scold you, he merely stated the truth. What is inappropriate about that?"

Xiao Yuantong was also taken aback by Xiao Rang's sudden outburst, and it took him a long time to react. Sitting in the grand master's chair, he opened his mouth, and a peanut shot out towards Xiao Rang with a pop.

As soon as Xiao Rang's challenge was uttered, a wave of curses erupted from the training ground, with some even removing their shoes or picking up stones and other objects to throw at Xiao Rang

Gently stroking Xiao Qixue's hair, Xiao Rang's lips curled into a tender smile, "Xue'er, see, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Little beast, you seek death

In the silent training ground, the dignified Xiao Rang suddenly wore a look of frustration, repeatedly slapping his own head. "I just thought it was that murderer who threw me off the cliff. In a moment of excessive anger, I mistakenly scolded my uncle. I feel deeply ashamed in my heart"

Xiao Yuantong's words were too harsh, and the training ground erupted into a wave of gloating laughter. Many people joined Xiao Yuantong in the commotion, hurling insults.

However, the gap between the first level of fetal breath and the third level of fetal breath remains significant, almost as large as the difference when the Qi Sea has not been opened.

Xiao Rang remained silent, merely casting a cold glance over the crowd. He deeply etched the faces of these people into his memory.

The insults and mockery persisted for a long time, yet Xiao Rang showed no reaction whatsoever, standing there with a hint of a playful smile on his lips. Those who hurled the insults suddenly felt as if they had become mere clowns upon seeing that smile.

Waste, go away, are you deliberately causing trouble?

A figure rushed out from the crowd, diving into Xiao Rang's embrace like a fledgling returning to its nest, with a tearful voice saying, "You nearly scared me to death!"

What is excessive?

Under the eager gazes of Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Qixue, Xiao Rang strode towards the arena in the center of the training ground, proclaiming loudly, "Xiao Zhan, I have yet to participate in the Qianlong competition, so you cannot count as the first Qianlong. If you wish to be the first Qianlong, you must first defeat me."

Although many people can guess that it was Xiao Zhan who took action against Xiao Rang, such matters must never be made explicit. Xiao Zhan scoffed, "Nonsense, a worthless person like you is not even worthy of my effort. Killing you would only dirty my hands"

Xiao Rang laughed and said, "Xiao Zhan, why are you so agitated when I curse the person who tried to kill me? Or are you saying that it is you who wants to kill me?"

Xiao Rang's performance caused the members of the Xiao family to look down on him once again. However, in the next moment, Xiao Rang suddenly extended his hand, pointing at Xiao Yuantong, and shouted angrily: "You old beast, struck by heaven's wrath, who condones your offspring to kill others while pretending to be righteous! Your shameless face is so thick that even the old monsters of the Heavenly Harmony realm cannot pierce it! In my sixteen years of life, I have never seen such a disgusting creature as you. Fortunately, I had no cultivation before; otherwise, being in the same universe as a beast like you would have surely driven me to suicide out of disgust."

Before Xiao Zhan could speak, a voice as imposing as a mountain emerged from the crowd, "At sixteen, you still cannot open your Qi Sea; what else can you be but a waste? As a waste, you still do not allow others to speak? Is this the narrow-mindedness of the Xiao family descendants?"

No one expected that such a useless person would actually challenge Xiao Zhan, who swept through the Qianlong Battle!

Holding Xiao Qixue with one hand, Xiao Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Now is not the time for us to act. Don't you want to see how your brother retaliates?"

As soon as Xiao Rang appeared, the entire training ground fell silent in an instant, and all eyes were focused on him

Hmph! Trash is just trash; once I make my move, they will immediately be scared to the point of losing control!

Xiao Rang looked at Xiao Yuantong from a distance and coldly said, "Uncle, I merely scolded you by mistake, not intentionally. Yet you wish to kill me for it. As an elder, is your heart truly so narrow?"

Ah, so you are my uncle. I apologize, I apologize, I mistook you for someone else

Xiao Yuanshan's killing intent was subtly revealed as he said sternly, "Who wants to kill you"

Staring into Xiao Rang's eyes for a full five breaths, Xiao Yuanshan sensed Xiao Rang's determination and understood that he was not joking, so he took Xiao Qixue back to his position

Xiao Rang shook his head, his tone revealing an unassailable determination, "Xue'er, Father, I will handle this matter myself; you all should not interfere."

Yes?
