Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: He Still Owes Me a "Dad

Soon, Miao Qidao was carried back to the Miao Family’s tent by the Linglong Guards.

Lu Xiao refused the medical personnel from the Xue Clan and personally treated Miao Qidao’s wounds before feeding him a pill.

Although Miao Qidao had many wounds, they were mostly superficial and had not injured his muscles or bones.

Apart from severe blood loss, there wasn’t any major problem.

"Lu Xiao, is Qidao all right?" Seeing Lu Xiao stand up, Miao Tianhe immediately asked.

Miao Tianhe had rushed over as soon as Qidao fell from the arena.

"He’s fine, he’ll wake up soon," Lu Xiao nodded.

His little pill was indeed quite effective.

"That’s good, that’s good," Miao Tianhe was also relieved, "By the way, Lu Xiao, were you... trying to make Qidao stronger by doing this?"

Although Miao Tianhe’s martial arts attainment wasn’t high, he had a good eye and could roughly guess Lu Xiao’s intention.

"Yes, but... it probably failed," Lu Xiao nodded, then sighed and shook his head.

He had already checked while treating Miao Qidao’s wounds; Qidao had indeed not broken through that barrier.

Miao Tianhe frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of Lu Xiao’s words, but he did not ask further.

When it came to martial arts, he was clueless, and if you’re clueless, better keep quiet.

"Then I’ll go back to our seats first and take good care of Qidao," Miao Tianhe said and left the tent without bringing up the matter of earning points.

Given the current situation, it was no longer important where the Miao Family ranked.

After Qidao’s fight, who would dare to look down on the Miao Family? Who would dare to say the Miao Family was weak?

The battles on the arena continued.

By the end of the second round, Miao Qidao finally woke up.

"Brother, I lost," seeing Lu Xiao by his side, Miao Qidao’s eyes immediately reddened.

He was still too weak, unable to defeat even sixteen people. With such strength, he would be of no help to Lu Xiao against the Goo Clan in the future.

Not only would he not be of help, but he might even become a burden.

"My fault," Lu Xiao patted Miao Qidao’s shoulder, "I was the one who thought wrong, making you fight such a battle was completely pointless."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the tears in Miao Qidao’s eyes suddenly fell.

Does this mean he’s completely disappointed in me?

"Hey, what are you crying about?" Seeing Miao Qidao shedding tears, Lu Xiao was also a bit stunned.

"I mean, I originally wanted this fight to stimulate your potential and help you break through the barrier in your body."

"But I was wrong. To break through that barrier, stimulating potential is not the key—life and death is."

Miao Qidao looked at Lu Xiao blankly, to break through the barrier in his body?

"Brother, if I break through, does that mean I can be as strong as you?" Although it was his first time hearing this theory, Miao Qidao quickly grasped the key point.

Someone like Lu Xiao, or the people from the Goo Clan, they must all have broken through the barriers in their bodies—otherwise, they couldn’t possibly be so incredible.

"You dreaming or what?" Lu Xiao snorted, "Breaking through the barrier only means you can continue to get stronger. To think you can be as strong as me, you really dare to dream."

Miao Qidao gritted his teeth, not caring much, as long as his brother still needed him, he was happy.

"Brother, then once I’m healed, I’ll go straight to a life-or-death fight. I don’t believe I can’t break through," Miao Qidao said.

Hearing Miao Qidao’s words, Lu Xiao fell silent.

Life and death...

"We’ll see when the time comes," Lu Xiao responded noncommittally, as he wasn’t sure yet whether to let Miao Qidao attempt such a breakthrough.

After all, life and death meant one could truly die.

Miao Qidao didn’t say more, but he was determined in his heart.

"It’s getting dark too. How can we continue the third round?" Lu Xiao looked at the sky and suddenly asked.

"The third round is tomorrow, brother!" Miao Qidao shrugged. You really weren’t listening when I explained the competition rules to you.

"Then where do we stay? We’re not going to sleep in a tent, are we?" Lu Xiao asked, incredulous, annoyed by the thought of the tournament spanning two days and having to spend the night on the mountaintop.

"Yep, it’s always been like this," Miao Qidao nodded.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes, which was utterly absurd.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t accept such living conditions; he had slept in worse places. He just felt it was a waste of time—if only they had started two hours earlier, the competition could have been finished within a day.

"All right, today’s competition is over," said Xue Qingsong, taking the stage at that moment.

"Please rest for a while, and at seven o’clock sharp, we will begin the banquet."

After Xue Qingsong finished speaking, the Xue Clan personnel appeared en masse, cleaning up here, moving tables and chairs there.

There were also servers bringing dishes, with an array of cold dishes coming to the tables first.

Seeing this arrangement, Lu Xiao’s displeasure somewhat subsided.

If there were food and drink, then it wasn’t so bad.

"Hmm? Isn’t that... Xue Ke?" Suddenly, Lu Xiao spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

Lu Xiao was also surprised; he had originally thought Xue Ke was from a branch of the Xue Clan, but it turned out he was from the main family.

And looking at the young man’s status, it wasn’t low—he was busily directing with authority.

"I’m idle anyway, might as well greet him," Lu Xiao said with a smile as he walked towards Xue Ke; he remembered that Xue Ke still owed him a "dad"...
