Long Meihui... The parasite...

Xia Tian's eyes shined.

He found three women standing above a platform.

They were observing the arena from above, inside the arena, Elder Xu Wanjin was training the disciples of the Xia Family, and he noticed Xia Tian walking in the direction of the arena.

The elder face turned ugly.

"Brats, the patriarch is calling me, I would be coming soon," saying it he immediately took a step in the air and escaped.

No way, he is facing that devil again!

He is still facing nightmares!

"Isn't the patriarch in seclusion?" Meng Cai said with a doubtful look.

His brother, Meng Xun shrugged, both were the son of Xia Leng and Meng Hui, and she was one of Xia Leng's concubines.

As Meng Hui wasn't Xia Leng's main wife like Long Wanhui or first concubine like Wang Wenshu, so her children inherited her side of the name and not the Xia family name.

The main wife position was fixed, while for the position of the first concubine their children need to have extraordinary talents, Wang Wenshu came from an ordinary family but both Xia Chen and Xia Ying were the young genius of the family, thus giving her the title of the first concubine.

"Stop whispering and get back to training!" another elder shouted.

He was Xia Liang, the brother of Xia Leng.

The patriarch surprisingly had only two children, one was Xia Leng and the other was Xia Liang.

Xia Liang was a few years older than Xia Leng but he never had any talent for cultivation, even after five hundred years, he was stuck at the emperor level.

While Xia Leng reached the emperor stage when he was only a century-old cultivator.

It was not that Xia Shuiyao's talent was shallow, more like the talent of Xia Leng's other children was too terrifying.

Xia Tian and Xia Ying were genius in cultivation from birth, while Xia Chen had recently started showing his aptitude for cultivation.

Xia Leng himself was a genius cultivator reaching overlord within five hundred years.

Since the family followed a merit-based approach, Xia Liang was pushed to the sideline, in the cultivator world strength is everything, either have a fist big enough to speak, or keep silent.

Xia Liang became one of the biggest failures of the Xia Family, even the servants give no respect to him, but his son was different.

"Xia Bao it's your turn!" Xia Leng spoke with an authoritative voice.

A man jumped into the arena from behind him, he was Xia Bao, the son of Xia Liang.

Unlike Xia Liang he had an excellent talent for cultivation, he is in the sage realm at ninety-seven years old, and if he achieves the emperor realm within the next three years, then he can come within the category of a genius cultivator from the standards of mortals.

Meng Cai and Meng Xun both sighed at the same time stepping into the arena, both had a cultivation of earth profound realm.

"Greetings, senior Bao." both bowed lightly, though their expression showed some unwillingness, which was ignored by Xia Bao.

He laughed.

"Don't worry, brother Cai and brother Xun, I would go easy on you, if you can take my three moves without stepping out of the arena, it's your win!" Xia Bao arrogantly said.

The Meng brothers sighed at the same time, it was clear he wasn't going easy on them but instead wanted to humiliate them by showing off his cultivation.

The other disciples shook their heads with pity, Xia Bao can't challenge Xia Tian or Xia Chen due to cultivation differences, so he decides of takes his anger on the other children of Xia Leng.

Xia Liang proudly smirked. 'What if I can't cultivate? My son will take revenge for the humiliation which I have suffered through all these years!'

Xia Liang woke up from his thoughts and shouted.

"Enough talk, now fight!"

Hearing his shout, Xia Bao instantly took a fighting stance, he channeled spiritual energy throughout his body strengthening it.

The Meng brother exchanged glances, both joined their hands simultaneously and made a praying posture, the next moment a barrier made up of qi was formed in front of them.

Seeing the barrier Xia Bao smirked, and a chain-like weapon appeared in his hands.

The chain illuminated the arena with red brilliance, and the next moment it was caught in blazing red flames, Xia Bao laughed and swung the chain toward the barrier.

Swish!

The flames of fury lightened up, it shot toward the barrier leaving a trail of flames behind it, the expression of Meng Xun changed, "Strengthen the barrier!"

He shouted to his brother, who in turn nodded.

Xia Liang inwardly laughed seeing the despair-filled faces of Meng Xun and Meng Cia.

Bam!

The collision of the barrier and chain, produced sparks, the chain was unable to break through the barrier, but the cracks were already beginning to appear on it.

Sweat ran down Meng Cai's face, 'The barrier might not be able to withstand the second attack!'

He sent a voice transmission to Meng Xun, both nodded at the same time and decided to change their strategy from defensive to aggressive.

Their fists shone with qi as the barrier disappeared, both crouched down as they evaded the flames, then proceeded to strike Xia Bao.

The latter decided to throw the weapon off his hands and face their combined attack barehanded.

"Young miss, according to you who will win?" Song Yue asked.

Long Meihui made a pondering look while evaluating the strength of all three men in the area, before long, she opened her lips and spoke while pointing to Xia Bao.

"He should win this one, though the other two have a good synergy between themselves but the difference in cultivation can't be ignored. It is a one-sided battle."

Song Yan nodded in agreement, she was in the sage realm, so evaluating the current situation was easy for her, the difference between the earth profound realm and the sage realm can't be ignored, the Meng brothers would definitely be triumphed over by Xia Bao.

The difference between the two different realms of cultivation is of heaven and earth, even if she and her sister fought against the young miss at the same time, it would result in their defeat.

Long Meihui was at the third stage of the emperor realm, if Long Tian was the youngest genius of the Xia family then she was the top genius of the Long family after Long Tian.

But the difference in their status was miles apart, Long Meihui is an outsider while Xia Tian is from the main line of descendants, Long Meihui's parents had died a few years after her birth, they offended Long You and were killed off by him.

Long Meihui has been raised as the daughter of Long You, she is only one year younger than Long Tian.

Long Tian, Xia Bao, and Li Nan belonged to the same generation and had the same age.

Currently, Long Meihui was here to choose her future husband.

The star and the dragon were already joined by marriage, to further deepen the relationship between both families Long You decided to send Long Meihui to Xia Household to pick her husband, as she was the top talent of the Long family after Long Tian, therefore she was allowed to choose her partner.

The Xia family had no objections, though they were dubious of the motives of Long You, even if the Long family wanted to strengthen the bonds between the two families there were multiple ways, but they still choose to send their best talent to their territory, it was a fact which can't be easily digested by many.

This was the information Xia Tian received from Xia Shuiyao, the woman was not completely useless and was aware of what was going around the family.

More like she was looking for information about Xia Tian and stumbled across this piece of information.

"Meihui, have you chosen any of them?" Song Yan asked.

Song Yue turned to Long Meihui with a curious gaze, she also wanted to know which man was preferred by the young miss.

Personally, she felt no one was worthy of walking next to her young miss.

This was the thought both sisters shared in common.

Long Meihui did not reply to their questioning gazes, she had completely different thoughts going through her mind.

Her eyes swept across all the figures in the arena and finally landed at Xia Bao.

'This one should work... He is arrogant, and has a decent talent... his cultivation is below me but that makes him an even better candidate for my task. During our wedding night, I can easily cast an illusion on his mind...' she thought.

She never cared about the looks and cultivation of man, all she wanted was a good guinea pig that she can use to infiltrate the Xia family and slowly destroy it from the inside.

She would act as a parasite and infect the whole Xia Family.

As for marriage, she did not care, she would just drug the man and let him think he took her chastity while in reality, he wouldn't even touch her skin.

Xia Bao was a good candidate for her task, as his cultivation was far below her.

One can say Long Meihui was truly clever.

'all for my martial brother...' Long Meihui thought as her gaze turned sharp.

She wanted to clear off all the obstacles in the way of the Long family before her martial brother comes back from the immortal world.

She did not have any feelings for Long Tian but rather viewed him as a big brother figure and would do anything to make him rise to the peak.

As for her dead parents, they were dead, it was not caused by Long Tian, so what has it is to do with her...

She can't even remember her parents shadow, so why care about them?

The fall of the Xia family was just starting of her plans...
