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

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Martial Arts Exchange

The appearance of these opposing voices was also within Miao Tianhe’s expectations.

Many people within the clan were even more conservative than him, so how could they tolerate Lu Xiao, an outsider, becoming the honorary Family Head of the Miao Family.

"If any of you can extend my life by ten years, you can also become the honorary Family Head," Miao Tianhe said indifferently.

Immediately, the scene fell deathly silent.

Even those who had just jumped out to oppose were now staring with wide eyes.

Extend life by ten years? Did the Family Head mean that Lu Xiao could make him live ten more years?

"I knew there was a reason why the Family Head’s condition suddenly improved."

"Indeed, his vitality seems replenished."

"Ten more years of life, who could refuse that?"

"If this is true, then I have no objections," the crowd began to express their positions quickly.

Miao Tianhe’s health had been failing for a long time, basically living on borrowed time.

Now that Lu Xiao could make him live ten more years, there was nothing to oppose.

It’s just three Linglong Guards, what’s the big deal! With Lu Xiao becoming the honorary Family Head of the Miao Family, it’s as if he is one of the Miao Family.

One Lu Xiao is worth how many Linglong Guards.

As for Miao Tengkong, if he’s dead, so be it, the guy wasn’t that great anyway. His ability was average, and he had a bad heart.

Besides, if the Family Head himself has let it go, why are we still making a fuss?

"Family Head, are you sure that everything Lu Xiao said is true? Are you sure he’s not deceiving you?"

"Extending life by ten years, even a divine healer would find it difficult to achieve that, right?" Of course, some people weren’t ready to give up.

At the dining table, Lu Xiao snorted.

"First of all, you need to understand, this isn’t extending life."

"The reason your Family Head’s life was in danger was due to recurrent internal injuries and chronic ailments."

"All I did was cure his injuries. What? Can’t he, free of sickness and injury, live to 85 now?"

Miao Tianhe was currently only 75. If his hidden injuries were healed, living to 85 would be a breeze.

Even with the excellent air quality of the Miao Family main house, reaching 95 wasn’t out of the question.

"You make it sound so easy!"

"How old are you exactly, healing the Family Head’s injuries? Who do you think you are?"

"Exactly, everyone can talk big."

Hearing these people persisting with their unreasonable troubles, Miao Qidao could no longer hold back.

"All of you shut your damn mouths."

"I’ve given you face, haven’t I? What’s with all this prattle!"

"Today, I, Miao Qidao, am laying down the law here. My brother Lu Xiao is the honorary Family Head of the Miao Family, no discussion."

"Anyone who says another word, get the hell out of the Miao Family."

Faced with Miao Qidao’s fierce determination, no one spoke up at the scene.

With Miao Tengkong dead, Miao Qidao was essentially the next Miao Family Patriarch, and crucially, Miao Qidao was the chief of the Linglong Guards—who could provoke him?

Miao Tianhe’s face was also full of smiles.

Qidao was getting more and more reliable, and this show of firmness was perfectly executed.

Sometimes, decisions needed to be made with this kind of definitive attitude.

"Since no one is against it, then it’s happily decided. Let’s eat," Miao Tianhe said, waving his hand.

Everyone took their seats once again.

A few minutes later, Lu Xiao, who was finding it unbearable, turned his head and glared at Miao Tianhe.

"Stop staring at me; I can’t even eat."

Miao Tianhe wasn’t angry at all, still wearing a radiant smile, "Lu Xiao, what are your plans next?"

"No particular plans, investigate the Goo Family, and then seek revenge," Lu Xiao replied offhand.

"Are you confident you’ll find anything?" Miao Tianhe continued to inquire.

Lu Xiao put down his chopsticks and faced Miao Tianhe, "Speak plainly."

"Here’s the thing, in a few days, there will be a martial arts exchange event at Longxiang Mountain hosted by the Xue Clan. I was wondering if you’d be interested in participating," Miao Tianhe said.

Hearing Miao Tianhe’s words, Miao Qidao almost spit out his food.

Grandpa, you want my brother to participate in the Martial Arts Exchange?

That would be pure slaughter!

With Lu Xiao’s strength, all the competitors in the Martial Arts Exchange put together probably wouldn’t be enough for him to break a sweat.

"Not interested," Lu Xiao rejected flatly.

Hearing Lu Xiao’s refusal, Miao Tianhe didn’t rush but continued to explain, "The Martial Arts Exchange is a tradition of the Shengjing Clans, held every three years. At that time, all the notable clans from Shengjing will send their top youth prospects under thirty to compete."

Lu Xiao frowned slightly, I’ve already said I’m not interested, and you’re still trying to persuade me.

"Do you remember what I told you before? The Goo Clan emerges every few years to pick martial arts talents."

"What if they decide to emerge and choose candidates this year? The Martial Arts Exchange would likely pique their interest."

Lu Xiao’s gaze narrowed; Miao Tianhe’s words held some merit. Although the chances were slim, what if...

"Fine, just let me know when it’s time," Lu Xiao finally conceded.

Miao Tianhe was grinning from ear to ear.

With Lu Xiao going, the Miao Family could easily claim the top spot at this year’s Martial Arts Exchange.

With Lu Xiao’s monstrous combat power, no challenger would stand a chance.
