Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 103: The Xu Family Bloodline

"Oh, isn’t this my cousin Xu Ping’an? What brings you here?" Xu Chengyu immediately said with a smile.

"Your brother?" The burly young man accompanying him asked with surprise.

"Indeed, he is my brother, but he has been a good-for-nothing since childhood. Later, I heard he even became someone’s live-in son-in-law, and the next day he was kicked out of the house," Xu Chengyu said teasingly with a laugh.

"I see," said the burly young man with a slight smile, looking like he understood the situation.

Then, his gaze towards Xu Ping’an turned scornful.

Xu Chengyu’s eyes were filled with extreme disdain.

At this moment, Xu Chengyu turned his head to look at Li Qingyi, who was next to Xu Ping’an.

He was immediately attracted by her peerless beauty.

"Damn it, how come this kid is always with so many beauties? Su Chan is one thing, but I heard that even the woman who crippled him is a beauty. And now this one is a superior beauty, not a bit inferior to Su Chan," Xu Chengyu inwardly cursed nonstop, his jealousy towards Xu Ping’an growing.

A useless fellow like him actually enjoys such good fortune with women, while I am not so blessed. It’s a complete waste of heavenly gifts.

Li Qingyi naturally felt Xu Chengyu’s gaze and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She turned her head to Xu Ping’an, "Is he really your cousin?"

"Sort of, but we didn’t grow up together and have no affection for each other. On the contrary, our relationship is quite poor," Xu Ping’an explained.

As for Xu Chengyu, Xu Ping’an held quite a

grudge mainly because he always bullied the still-unawakened Xu Ping’an in the past and also harassed his little aunt Su Chan.

Li Qingyi nodded her head, understanding the relationship between Xu Ping’an and Xu Chengyu.

The next moment, the look she gave Xu Chengyu turned unfriendly.

Anyone Xu Ping’an dislikes, she would dislike as well.

"Xu Ping’an, I heard you joined the Beichen Sword Sect. Is the Beichen Sword Sect so desperate for people that they sent you to participate in the grand competition?" Xu Chengyu laughed heartily.

The burly young man beside him also wore a face full of mockery.

"Xu Chengyu, I advise you not to provoke me, or you will regret it," Xu Ping’an said indifferently.

"Oh, who are you trying to scare? Xu Ping’an, I don’t care whether you joined the Beichen Sword Sect or not, in my eyes, you will always be a good-for-nothing. I don’t mind telling you that this time I am representing the Tyrant Heavenly Sect as fifth in line to participate in this Sect competition," Xu Chengyu said with a cold sneer.

"Yes, Brother Xu has already reached the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm," the burly young man beside him immediately added.

"The Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?" a flash of surprise passed through Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

He had to admit that Xu Chengyu’s rate of progress was somewhat astonishing.

In Xu Ping’an’s memory, though Xu Chengyu had decent talent, he had not yet reached the level of a genius.

And yet, this time he managed to rank fifth in the Tyrant Heavenly Sect.

This was really beyond Xu Ping’an’s expectations.

"How about it, are you scared?" Xu Chengyu said with a cold sneer.

"Have you awakened some kind of special physique?" Xu Ping’an suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Oh, you guessed it, didn’t you? Yes, I have awakened the Innate Golden Elemental Body," Xu Chengyu said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an came to a realization.

He had awakened the Mysterious Yellow Body.

And Xu Chengyu had awakened the Innate Golden Elemental Body.

What did this mean?

It meant that the bloodline of the Xu Family was quite special.

Typically, such physiques have a certain level of randomness to them.

Of course, there are also those inherent family hereditary bloodlines.

Xu Ping’an had not expected that the Xu Family would also possess such a hereditary bloodline.

It was just that the bloodline he awakened was more complete, while Xu Chengyu’s was relatively diluted.

The Innate Golden Elemental Body, a fourth-grade bloodline.

Though not bad, compared to his own first-grade Mysterious Yellow Body and the Chaotic Thunder Tyrant Body, it was far from being on the same level.

"Are you afraid now? My master said that I have the potential to become a Sixth Rank Expert," Xu Chengyu spoke arrogantly.

"Oh," Xu Ping’an responded indifferently.

Xu Chengyu’s showing off didn’t bother him at all.

Li Qingyi, standing nearby, was also unmoved.

Ever since she met Xu Ping’an, Li Qingyi knew that Sixth Rank was certainly not Xu Ping’an’s goal.

Therefore, it wasn’t her goal either.

So, in her eyes, Xu Chengyu’s boasting was nothing more than a joke.

"What’s with that attitude? I know you’re jealous of me, Xu Ping’an. Don’t think that by pretending you don’t care I can’t see through you," Xu Chengyu said with a cold snort.

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

He was pretending not to care?

Fine, think what you will then.

"Are you finished? Can I go if you’re done?" Xu Ping’an said indifferently.

Xu Chengyu’s face suddenly stiffened.

This attitude of Xu Ping’an made him feel like he was making flirtatious eyes at a blind man.

It made him feel like a clown.

Especially with a beauty standing right there.

Xu Chengyu gave a cold snort and stopped paying attention to Xu Ping’an. Instead, he turned to Li Qingyi and said, "This must be Junior Sister Li Qingyi, the number one beauty of the Tianlong River region. Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved."

Li Qingyi glanced at Xu Chengyu but didn’t respond.

The latter continued, "I wonder if Junior Sister Li would honor us with her presence and join us at Tyrant Blade Sect’s Southern Garden for a drink?"

"Is the Innate Golden Elemental Body very strong?" Li Qingyi instead took a step forward.

A powerful aura of True Phoenix immediately pressed towards Xu Chengyu.

Xu Chengyu’s face stiffened, and he hastily retreated two steps, his eyes filled with shock.

The young and sturdy man beside him was also incredibly surprised.

"A second-grade physique, the Ancient Times True Phoenix Physique?" Xu Chengyu exclaimed in shock.

He hadn’t expected Li Qingyi to possess a physique of a higher level than his own.

Wasn’t his earlier boasting now a complete joke?

Moreover, from Li Qingyi’s aura, it seemed her strength was not below his, and might even be stronger.

Li Qingyi, however, ignored Xu Chengyu’s surprise, took Xu Ping’an’s arm, and walked towards the northern garden together.

Xu Chengyu watched Li Qingyi holding Xu Ping’an’s arm, his heart full of incredible shock.

What was so special about Xu Ping’an?

How had he gained the favor of such an exceptional genius?

"What a waste, a flower stuck in cow dung," Xu Chengyu couldn’t help muttering, the jealousy inside him raging.

He had originally thought that Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi were just ordinary sect mates.

But now it seemed not to be the case he had imagined.

He really couldn’t understand what Li Qingyi saw in the useless Xu Ping’an.

The sturdy young man beside him was also filled with jealousy.

"Humph, Xu Ping’an, one day, I’ll take everything you have away from you, including Su Chan and this Li Qingyi," Xu Chengyu snorted coldly, then stomped away in anger.

The sturdy young man immediately followed him.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an, looking at Li Qingyi holding onto his arm, didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Why bother getting angry with him? He’s just a jumping clown," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"You might not care, but I do. If I encounter him during the competition, I assure you I will not show mercy," Li Qingyi said earnestly.

Xu Ping’an smiled lightly, suddenly realizing Li Qingyi was truly adorable.

As for Xu Chengyu, he really didn’t take him seriously.

However, he did feel he should properly research this bloodline of the Xu Family.

It was too abnormal!
