Xue Yuntian nodded. “Yes, I’ll let Xue Yu represent us once this year.”
Xue Lei could not believe his ears. He had never thought that one day, Xue Yu would snatch away the qualifications that only belonged to him as a sacrifice to his ancestors.
He stood up and asked, “Why?”
Xue Yuntian said, “The opportunity to train the divine path can’t be given to you to monopolize every year, right? Xue Yu is at the most critical moment of condensing the divine path in the four immortal realms. As your older brother, you should be considerate.”
Xue Lei glared at Su Yu and recalled the conversation in the room just now. He felt that Su Yu was trying to curry favor with them.
Or rather, Su Yu was speaking ill of him in front of them.
“Father!”Xue Lei’s eyes were resolute. “Only the most outstanding disciples in the clan can represent the ancestor worship. Otherwise, how can the ancestor rest in peace in the afterlife? I hope father is careful!”
Xue yuntian frowned and said, “Your younger brother Xue Yu’s talent is not bad. I’ve made up my mind. There’s no room for negotiation.”
He actually wanted to say that he was stronger than Xue Lei, but he couldn’t say anything hurtful.
Xue Yuntian glared at Su Yu angrily and cast a hopeful gaze at the Lone Mountain Grandmaster, he said, “Great ancestor of the Lone Mountain, on account of my contributions to the family, do you really have the heart to let me miss this opportunity? I’m not far away from breaking through to become a stage two heavenly cave master.”
Who knew that the Lone Mountain Grandmaster, who had always been partial to him, would look at Su Yu with a complicated expression, he spoke with a rarely seen fairness and objectivity, “Xue Lei, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but your father is right. Xue Yu is at the crucial moment of breaking through to the world paragon of cave abode. What harm is there in letting him go?”
Xue Lei was stunned. He could hardly believe that the lone mountain grandmaster in front of him was that unreasonable old grandmaster who was trying to be partial to him!
What exactly happened? Why didn’t even the senior of the lone mountain speak up for him?
Endless resentment burst out in his heart as he glared at Su Yu, “Did you speak ill of me? You despicable person! I merely stole your icefire spaceship. Is there a need to be so sinister?”
Hearing this, Xue Yuntian frowned, “Lei’er, what did you say just now? You stole Yu’er’s icefire spaceship?”
The other elders also looked at Su Yu in surprise.
Xue Yuntian said, “Yu’er, why didn’t you mention this?”
Su Yu smiled and said generously, “It’s just a trivial matter. I’ve returned safely. Why bother talking about it? If the Li family knew about it, they would only laugh at US Xue Brothers for not being United.”
These words warmed the hearts of the elders.
On the other hand, Xue Lei… without comparison, there was no difference between the two.
In the past, they thought that Xue Lei’s shortcomings were tolerable, but now that they were compared, his character and Xue Yu’s were like heaven and earth.
Even Xue Lei bullied him like that, but Xue Yu put his family first and kept silent.
If Xue Lei had not taken the initiative to mention it, they would not have known about it at all.
Seeing that everyone was “Bewitched”by Su Yu again, Xue Lei laughed angrily, “I really couldn’t tell. Not only are you good at backstabbing people, you also have some tricks to coax people. Stepping on me to make you? Hehe, good, really good!”
PA —
Just as he finished speaking, a loud slap made Xue Lei’s Eyes See Stars.
His gaze froze. It was Xue Yuntian who stood in front of him with an angry expression, his eyes were filled with disappointment. “If I told you that your brother has never mentioned you to us ever since he came back, let alone said a bad word about you, how would you feel?”
Xue Lei covered his face. The hatred in his eyes did not decrease but instead increased. He said in a low voice, “I don’t believe it! If he didn’t slander me behind my back, why would you treat me like this?”
“Do what to You?”Xue Yuntian said, “Are you trying to say that I’m not as good to you as I was in the past, and that I’m much better to your younger brother than I was in the past? Do you want to know the reason? It’s very simple. It’s because your younger brother has made contributions that generations of people couldn’t achieve. Is this enough?”
Xue Lei was shocked, but he didn’t believe it.
He didn’t believe that Xue Yu, who had been stepped on by him since birth, could make any great contributions.
He stubbornly felt that they had been coaxed by Su Yu until they were in high spirits.
“Alright, I believe you.”Xue Lei gritted his teeth and said, “However, I still do not feel that it is the right thing to give him the ancestor worship. It is completely a waste to give him such trash to temper the Supreme Dao. It is far better to give him to the genius in my family!”
He turned around and walked out angrily. Without turning his head, he said, “You will definitely regret giving him this once-a-year opportunity!”
Xue Yuntian glared at him and clenched his fists. He had the urge to rush up and teach him a lesson.
However, he was his own son after all. He sighed helplessly and rubbed the space between his brows tiredly. He was too weak to sit back down.
At this moment, Su Yu’s voice came into his ears, “Father, don’t worry. Big Brother’s temper is like this. He didn’t mean to contradict you. I believe that he will understand father’s painstaking efforts in the future.”
Xue Yuntian was gratified. His mood improved a lot. He looked at Su Yu with even more affection and said, “You still have my heart.”
The Double Star Island’s ancestor worship ceremony could be considered a grand event.
Everyone was extremely happy. Only Xue Lei was drinking alone.
He had returned to the clan for half a month. For some reason, the young girls in the clan who used to surround him and call him brother Xue Lei had disappeared without a trace.
The youths who worshipped him and hoped to receive his guidance also walked around him, as if they were afraid of being related to him.
The young king of the clan seemed to have been kicked off his throne overnight, and no one paid any attention to him.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a group of playful people suddenly appeared before his eyes.
At a glance, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
He saw Xue Yu, surrounded by the young clansmen, walking towards the ancestral altar like a king.
“Brother Xue Yu, the Crown on your head is so handsome. Let me wipe it off for you,”a charming girl said with a smile.
“Xue Mei, you flirtatious girl, don’t take advantage of brother Xue Yu, okay?”
Xue Mei giggled, “Xue Ruxu, you’ve been hugging brother Xue Yu’s arm for so long. Can’t I take advantage of You?”
Xue Mei and Xue Ruxu were the beautiful girls who had surrounded Xue Lei all year round. Now, they had abandoned him and thrown themselves into Xue Yu’s arms.
As for the group of youths who had protected him and separated themselves from the crowd, they were all boys who were trying to curry favor with him and seek guidance from him.
Seeing this scene, Xue Lei’s lungs exploded!
“You’re going too far!”Xue Lei slammed the table and shattered the stone table in the pavilion on the spot.
The loud noise shocked the girls and made them squeeze closer into Su Yu’s arms. They looked like they were afraid because Xue Lei was too fierce.
“Xue Yu! Come Here!”Xue Lei pointed at Su Yu angrily.
Su Yu was helpless.
He didn’t want to be so ostentatious. However, after the sparring, he had shown his hidden strength and won the respect of his clansmen.
And putting aside the past grudges, his act of bestowing divine arts to the alien race had won them great favor.
In addition, Su Yu’s personality was gentle and amiable, unlike Xue Lei, who was hard to please. Naturally, the younger generation of the clan, regardless of gender, were very close to him.
Unless Su Yu was in seclusion, otherwise, his side would be like this. On the street, there would be a group of birds and birds, carrying clubs and opening a path for a group of people. It was an extremely grand scene.
This, without realizing it, had angered Xue Lei again.
He stood still and said, “Big Brother, what’s the matter?”
Xue Lei’s anger was in his heart, but when he really shouted at Xue Yu, he realized that he had nothing to say.
What could he say? Say that Su Yu stole his followers? Wasn’t it embarrassing enough? He couldn’t say these words!
Suddenly, Xue Lei thought of something and sneered, “Could it be that you’ve forgotten that you still owe me 30,000 absolute beginning coins? What, as a creditor, can’t I ask for a debt?”
During the half a month, Su Yu also inquired about the reason for this debt.
Xue Yu couldn’t get the care of the clan, so he wanted to buy some resources outside and borrowed 1,000 absolute beginning coins from Xue Lei.
In the end, the interest rolled over and reached a huge amount of 30,000 absolute beginning coins.
Although Xue Yu tried his best to pay back more than 4,000 absolute beginning coins, how could he keep up with the interest rolling over?
Even his own brother had to be set up, so Su Yu had some complaints about Xue Lei.
However, it was only right and proper to repay one’s debt. Regardless of whether it was profit or not, a debt was a debt.
“Hehe, I also know that a penniless wretch like you has no money to use. How about this, you kneel down for me today, kowtow once, and lose ten absolute beginning coins. How about it?”Xue Lei suggested.
Such a public humiliation, especially since Su Yu was going to attend the ancestor worship ceremony later!
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Think about it, kowtowing is worth ten absolute beginning coins. This is something you can never get even in your dreams! Why are you still hesitating?”Xue Lei teased.
The juniors around Su Yu also felt angry. Xue Lei was the one who had gone too far.
“I will return 1,000 absolute beginning coins for Brother Xue Yu.”Xue Xin walked out coldly and slapped a Qiankun bag onto the stone bench.
Xue Lei narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Xue Xin, we haven’t seen each other for a few months. Your wings have hardened. You Dare to oppose me…”
“I, I will also help brother Xue Yu return the coins.”Xue Lin walked forward with trepidation and put down the 500 absolute beginning coins.
“How dare you!”Xue Lei was furious. Xue Xin was fine. Xue Lin was usually like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him. Now, he dared to openly oppose him!
“I will also help brother Su Yu pay off his debt. This is all my property!”Xue Mei giggled and took out a small pocket with a sweet smile. She threw it on the stone bench. There were more than 300 absolute beginning coins in it.
“Then I can’t fall behind?”Xue Ruxu said with a smile and also threw down a mouthful of absolute beginning coins.
“And me! Hehe, I can’t take brother Su Yu’s things for free.”The group of teenagers also helped Su Yu out of the predicament.
In the past, Xue Lei was the eldest, and they did not dare to offend him.
But now that Su Yu was the most valued by the clan, why were they still afraid of Xue Lei?
Not long after, the pavilion, stone bench, and the ground were piled with money bags. It was about ten to twenty thousand. Even to the clan, it was not a small sum of money.
Xue Lei glared at them coldly, “How dare you!”
The only reply he got was a pair of fearless eyes.
The more they acted like this.., the Angrier Xue Lei got. “Good, good, good! You’re all hard, aren’t you? You want to pay off his debt, right? Fine, I still need 15,000 absolute beginning coins! All of you kneel down and Kowtow to me until I’m satisfied. Then I’ll write off the debt. Otherwise, all of you get lost!”
Everyone was put in a difficult position. Even if they gave everything they had, they could only gather 10,000 absolute beginning coins.
“Keep them all. I’ll accept your kindness.”Su Yu waved his sleeve and rolled all the money bags back into their hands.
Xue Lei grinned. “Why? Have you thought it through? Are you going to kneel down?”

A muffled crashing sound could be heard. It was a universe bag that landed on the stone bench.
