RNP Chapter 3: Scolding!
Chapter 3: Scolding!
Xiao Zheng was stunned when he saw the description of the Creation Point.
This stroke of luck truly lives up to the word "luck"!
It can even enlighten realms, enlighten souls, and enlighten fighting techniques!
Isn't this a more comprehensive version of the "Burning Manual"?
He focused his attention on the three options for the Chosen Mission.
So this is the Chosen One mission: triggering an event, and then he decides what to do.
Of these three options, choosing option A offers no reward.
However, it's difficult to choose between B and C.
If he chooses option B, he has the panel, so he's not afraid of offending Xiao Yan. However, he really can't bring himself to kick someone when they're down.
Moreover, Xiao Yan has been working hard for the past three years since his fighting spirit disappeared, never giving up on cultivation, just like him.
Such a person deserves respect.
But if you choose option C, things will get much worse...
If Xiao Zheng were to speak up for Xiao Yan, he would surely incur the wrath of the masses!
If he were to curse those in the Xiao family who were criticizing Xiao Yan today for Xiao Yan's sake, his anger would probably make it impossible for him to stay in the Xiao family!
Therefore, in this divine selection, choosing A is the safest option.
only……
The reward is a fortune point!
He still doesn't understand the triggering mechanism of the God-Chosen Mission. What if he misses this one and it never appears again?
Therefore, Xiao Zheng must choose this chosen mission today!
Xiao Zheng has no grudge against Xiao Yan and wouldn't do anything to kick him when he's down, so the only option is C.
Although he had no real grudge against those who mocked Xiao Yan, these people were opportunistic and sycophantic... they deserved to be cursed!
Moreover, when deciding to choose option C, Xiao Zheng had already come up with a plan: to curse and then run away, leaving the Xiao family first!
He should be safe until the test is over!
One reason is that there are testers present.
Another reason is that Xun'er is there. Presumably, Xiao Xun'er wouldn't let someone who protects her brother Xiao Yan get beaten up in the testing field.
Once he leaves the Xiao family, he'll have his own panel, so he won't need the Xiao family's support in cultivation at all!
……
On the wooden platform.
The mocking words from the Xiao family members were like steel needles, piercing Xiao Yan's heart and making the young man's breathing slightly rapid.
Are all these people really this cold-hearted?
But at that moment, a loud shout rang out from the ranks of the disciples, drowning out all other sounds.
"That's enough!"
"Shut up, all of you!"
In the testing field, from the test examiner and the person involved, Xiao Yan, to the other members of the Xiao family, everyone was astonished when they heard this sudden voice.
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their gazes to the person who had spoken.
When they saw that the speaker was another useless person from the Xiao family, just like Xiao Yan, many of the Xiao family members glared angrily at him!
"Xiao Zheng, are you courting death?"
"You don't actually think that increasing your battle aura by one level in a year is that impressive, do you?"
"Who gives you the right to speak here?"
When Xiao Zheng saw the Xiao family members threatening him as if they had been provoked, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up slightly.
The results look great!
Keep trying, you might actually be able to trigger that multiplier!
He stepped out of the ranks, walked indignantly to the wooden platform, glanced at the Xiao family disciples with fiery eyes, and spoke with a cold smile.
"What, have you all forgotten how you groveled before Xiao Yan a few years ago?"
The members of the Xiao family were even angrier upon hearing this.
This kid actually dares to reopen old wounds out of nowhere!
"What did you say?"
"Say that again if you dare!"
"court death!"
"Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Seeing the enraged members of the Xiao family, Xiao Zheng became even more determined to run away after he finished cursing them!
Xiao Zheng continued his antics, his gaze sweeping over the women as he sneered, "If I remember correctly, the year Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Zhe at eleven, you, you, you... and you too!"
"Your parents tied you up at Xiao Yan's doorstep, insisting on sending you to him as maids, didn't they?"
Xiao Zheng then looked at the others: "Xiao Zhong, all that effort you put into wiping Xiao Yan's shoes back then, are you now using it all for gossiping?"
He then turned his gaze to another person: "What are you looking at? I'm talking to you!"
"Xiao Ke!"
"How come I heard that you secretly gave Xiao Yan your father's treasured possessions, just in exchange for a chance to serve him?"
Xiao Zheng focused his gaze on a rather attractive girl.
The girl's name was Xiao Mei, and she was quite well-known in the original novel.
Xiao Mei felt Xiao Zheng's gaze, and her expression immediately changed.
Xiao Zheng sneered at Xiao Mei, "Xiao Mei, do you think you're so proud of your increased fighting spirit, that you're a cut above Xiao Yan?"
"Pah!"
"Have you forgotten how you cried and begged Xiao Yan to teach you a quick way to condense Dou Qi back then?"
"Now you feel that Xiao Yan is from a different world than you?"
"In my opinion, your so-called world is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
"You're only fit to play the phoenix in front of those chickens and dogs. You don't even deserve to carry the shoes of a true genius!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Xiao Mei was so angry that she was about to lash out and hurt someone, but she was stopped by another, even prettier girl in purple.
The girl in purple smiled at her and said, "Girls shouldn't be so short-tempered, it'll make you unpopular."
Xiao Mei tried to break free from Xiao Xun'er's grasp, but... she failed.
……
On the wooden platform.
Xiao Yan stared blankly at Xiao Zheng's retreating figure.
I don't understand why Xiao Zheng would speak up for him.
Xiao Yan rummaged through his past memories and found that he had absolutely no recollection of Xiao Zheng.
When he gained power, Xiao Zheng was not among those who followed him closely.
After he fell from power, Xiao Zheng was not among those who took advantage of his misfortune and made fun of him.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Zheng have absolutely no connection whatsoever!
Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of a possibility and believed that it might be the only possibility.
This might be—empathy!
Just like before the test began, he had felt a sense of sympathy for Xiao Zheng.
Perhaps Xiao Zheng is feeling the same way right now.
Xiao Zheng empathized with his three years of disappointment!
Judging from Xiao Zheng's situation, he's probably been ridiculed quite a bit on a daily basis.
Xiao Yan has always been a person who repays kindness with kindness and avenges wrongs with avenge wrongs.
He will repay others tenfold if they are kind to him.
If others bully or insult him, he will retaliate without mercy!
Xiao Yan will remember Xiao Zheng's kindness in speaking up for him today!
……
Seeing that he had said everything that needed to be said and the atmosphere had reached its peak, Xiao Zheng stopped cursing and left the wooden platform to return to his team.
Of course, he didn't go back to his original spot, but instead chose a place that was close to the entrance of the testing area and where there were no people nearby who wanted to beat him up.
After all, not everyone among the Xiao family members was mocking Xiao Yan; there were also neutral individuals.
The person who had introduced Xiao Zheng earlier happened to be right next to Xiao Zheng's new seat.
The man looked puzzled: "Xiao Zheng, are you running a fever? Why are you acting so tough today?"
"I remember you used to be quite timid, didn't you?"
"You're not actually sympathizing with Xiao Yan, are you? Do you realize how many people you've offended with that outburst today?"
As he spoke, someone nearby was already threatening Xiao Zheng.
For example, Xiao Ke threatened Xiao Zheng from a distance, saying, "Xiao Zheng, you just wait!"
Just then, Xiao Yan returned to the group and overheard someone threatening Xiao Zheng. He secretly decided, "Xiao Zheng spoke up for me, and I must not let others retaliate against him."
"These kids are too young and don't know their own strength. With so many people causing trouble for Xiao Zheng, they might just beat him to death."
Xiao Xun'er returned to Xiao Yan's side and immediately guessed what he was thinking. She whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, as far as I know, Xiao Zheng's parents are dead, and he has been living on his own ever since."
"Brother Xiao Yan, why don't you invite him to stay at your place later? With you by his side, Xiao Ke and the others probably won't dare to cause trouble."
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed: "Great idea! Xun'er, you're so smart."
Xiao Xun'er raised her chin slightly: "That's right."
……
Xiao Zheng ignored the advice and threats from others.
At this moment, the rewards for the Chosen One mission have been settled for him.
[This God-level Choice quest has ended; Creation Points +3]
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng's lips curled up slightly; it was finally over.
At this moment, the tester called Xiao Mei up to the stage to take the test. Because she was quite beautiful, she attracted the attention of almost everyone.
Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing this!
If you don't run now, when will you wait?
