<<>>Chapter 1: Forced into Marriage

Jingshuai City, Xiao Family 。"Tian'er, you are a once-in-a-century prodigy of our Jingchuan region. The future of the Xiao family rests on your shoulders." 。Of course, our Tian'er is someone favored by the ethereal Xian Palace. In the future, even the Long family will have to bow and scrape before us in Jingchuan City. 。Xiao Fan stood alone in the corner of the hall, watching his parents fawn over his younger brother, Xiao Tian. 。In the Xiao family, Xiao Fan's life was even worse than that of some decent servants. 。In the eyes of their parents, his exceptionally talented younger brother was always the center of attention, and he had never been treated as a son. 。"Well, of course, my talent is far superior to that useless elder brother of mine." 。Xiao Tian sneered, at this time he sat in the main seat of the hall, this position only the head of the family could sit . 。It seems that everyone in the Xiao family believes that this position is only suitable for Xiao Tian, ??and that he deserves to be sitting here. 。Hearing his own younger brother say that, Xiao Fan's heart sank. 。Although he had grown accustomed to the snide remarks and sarcasm from everyone in his family, it didn't mean he was immune to them. On the contrary, every time he heard such mockery, the pain in his heart remained just as sharp. 。"That's right, Tian'er, your talent is the best in Jingchuan City, of course, it's not comparable to your useless older brother." 。Every time Xiao Tian looked down on himself as the eldest son, his parents would always go along with Xiao Tian's words and insult him together!Or in this family, no one had ever cared about Xiao Fan, even to the point where no one cared about his life or death....Xiao Fan remained silent, standing aside and listening quietly. 。“But the competition at Piao Miao Immortal Palace is also very fierce. In half a month, the palace envoys will come over. Acquiring resources from the Immortal Palace is not easy. I'm afraid the Xiao family cannot provide enough resources for my cultivation.” 。Xiao Tian spoke up, voicing his concerns. 。

Xiao's father patted his son on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Tian'er, don't worry, your father has arranged all of this for you. As long as you marry into the Long family, they have already promised to give our Xiao family a large sum of resources, and even allow you to learn their Dragon Family Xuan-rank martial arts.

。"The Dragon Clan?" Xiao Tian frowned and spoke in a deep voice, "Although the Dragon Clan is considered the first family in Jingchuan City, their most powerful ancestor is only at the Transcendent Heaven Realm. How could I, who am about to become a disciple of the Immortal Gate, be someone they could possibly match?" 。"Haha...Tian'er, you worry too much. How could your father not consider these things?" 。"Xiao's father laughed, then glanced at Xiao Fan who was standing in the corner." 。"Oh? So what does your father mean?" Xiao Tian became interested. 。The match was naturally not with you, but with your brother. The object of the Dragon family's marriage alliance is their third young lady, letting Xiao Fan be a son-in-law to the Dragon family. 。"Xiao's father laughed and explained, "The Dragon Family just wants to be associated with our Xiao family. After all, your future is limitless, Tian'er. This is an investment for them. Moreover, your father has already reached an agreement with the head of the Dragon Family. They are willing to contribute one thousand spirit stones and their ancestral techniques. Then, after you join the Miao Yao Xian Palace, you won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore." 。"Haha... not bad, not bad. Father's idea is very good. The third Miss Long looks quite good, but there's a congenital birthmark on the left side of her face, covering half her face. The other half is like a ghost, she doesn't dare to see people normally and is treated poorly in the Long family. This kind of person would be perfect for my useless older brother!" 。Xiao Tian was overjoyed. 。Since he was able to get so many cultivation resources, after entering the Immortal Palace, it would be his moment to leap over the dragon gate, Xiao Tian. 。"Still, the old master is wise. He actually came up with such a good idea. When Tian'er enters the Immortal Palace, he will surely soar to great heights." 。Xiao's mother also had a wry smile on her face. 。Xiao Fan listened to his parents and younger brother chatting happily beside him. For the sake of his younger brother's future, he directly decided his own fate. To be a son-in-law? This left him feeling utterly despairing. 。“Xiao Tian, I’m your elder brother at least. You call me a waste just like that?” Xiao Fan spoke up, shattering the boisterous atmosphere of the hall. 。At this moment, the hall was silent. After a while, Xiao Fu was the first to recover. He pointed at Xiao Fan's nose and cursed, "You waste! How dare you speak to your brother like that?" 。Xiao Fan didn't refute his father, but instead stared intently at his younger brother with both eyes. 。"Hahaha...Big brother?" Xiao Tian laughed, then coldly opened his mouth: "You're just like this, are you worthy of being my big brother? The reason why I always put the word '废' (waste) before your name is to constantly remind you of the fact that you are a waste." 。"Your cultivation talent is so poor, after so many years you're only at the second level of Refining Body Realm, while I am at the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm. Do you understand the gap between us?"After the Refining Body Realm comes the Qi Condensation Realm. Although they are brothers, Xiao Fan's cultivation talent is really too poor, not even reaching a normal standard. 。As for Xiao Tian, the number one genius of Jingchuan City, he was the first disciple from Jingchuan City in decades to be chosen by the Misty Immortal Palace. 。"But, but even if my cultivation talent is inferior to yours, can you decide my life like this? Force me to be the赘龙 family?" Xiao Fan felt unwilling, angrily speaking: "What right do you have to sacrifice me in exchange for resources for yourself!" "All? Don't get ahead of yourself, you probably think too highly of yourself." 。Xiao Tian shook his head. 。"In this world, the strong are respected, and the weak have no right to speak. You were born into the Xiao family, but what can you do for the Xiao family? You're still a waste, allowing yourself to be sacrificed by the Ziyulong family. This is just a small sacrifice for them. What do you have to complain about? Besides, the Long family is the first family in Jingchuan City. You are lucky to even be considered for marriage into such a prestigious family, understand?"Hearing Xiao Tian's cold voice, Xiao Fan felt like his heart was turning to ash. Or maybe he should have faced this reality long ago. 。This house was cold to him. 。After a moment, Xiao Fan gritted his teeth: "I disagree" 。No matter what, I disagree with this marriage. 。"You disagree?" Xiao Tian let out a cold snort, then threw a punch. The air crackled with the sound of breaking wind as his fist, like a giant wave, struck Xiao Fan's mouth in mid-air. 。"Poof!" Xiao Fan was punched, and he took a big mouthful of air as he flew backwards for five meters before crashing into the wall of the hall and getting half embedded in it. 。Xiao Fan fell like a dead man, smashing a large hole in the wall behind him. 。

"Look, this scrap of metal is still alive?"

。“Xiao Tian coldly opened his mouth” 。

Xiao Fan fell into a coma, and after a moment, he heard a cold, ethereal voice beside him, rousing him.

。"Zhou Tian Xing Dou Tu, recognize the master " 。 "
