Chapter 396: The Stepbrother Forced to Give In (1)
"Hey, Ning Ning, you are still warming up your voice. With your two skills, I don't think you need to participate in our sect's stage competition in seven days. It will be embarrassing if you go!"
"That's right. I don't know why the master accepted him. He kept him for meals because he was considered a waste of food."
"He's just relying on the Xi family's reputation to stay here. If I were him, I wouldn't be so shameless!"
As soon as Ning Ning came in, she found herself standing in a spacious courtyard. There was a shelf next to her with some sword and gun props on it.
There were several teenagers standing in front of him.
The leading young man had a ruddy face and white teeth, and spoke in a vague singing voice. It seemed that he was studying opera.
Unfortunately, they looked at Ning Ning with contempt and their words were full of disdain.
A surge of anger surged in Ning Ning's chest, which was the emotion left over from his original body. It seemed that he felt very depressed when he saw the young man in the lead.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Xi Liu, don't go too far! Do you think you are so powerful?"
Xi Liu crossed his arms and sneered, "What? Are you angry because I said it right? Unfortunately, that's the truth. You might as well give up as soon as possible to avoid making a fool of yourself in front of everyone."
Ning Ning sneered, "Really? But I want to tell you something today. In fact, I have been giving in to you all these years. Otherwise, what you have learned is really not good enough."
Xi Liu was stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter: "Don't brag, who would believe it? If you really have the ability, why have you never shown it?"
"Yeah, he has the nerve to say such things, how shameless!"
"I can't stand him anymore, Brother Liu, as long as you say the word, I will teach him a lesson!"
These young men all started laughing and shouting, but Ning Ning remained unmoved. She just looked at Xi Liu calmly until the young men opposite her stopped smiling and their voices gradually became lower.
"Xi Liu, I didn't want to compete with you before, but since you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, then I will let you see it for yourself. In the master-disciple competition in seven days, we will each use our true abilities, and I will definitely beat you and take the first place. Let's make a bet, whoever loses will kowtow to the other three times, how about it, do you dare?"
Seeing Ning Ning's firm words, Xi Liu couldn't help but become serious, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true, but you have to keep it a secret now and can't tell our family about our bet."
"Why is this? Are you going to do anything?"
"The competition is in front of everyone, what can I do? Or are you still young and have to ask your family for permission before doing anything? If that's the case, just ignore what I said just now!"
Teenagers of this age cannot stand being provoked. Xi Liu's followers couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you afraid of? Compete with him!"
"He is the least skilled among us, how can we be afraid of him?"
"I think he's just bluffing. The competition is only seven days away. I don't believe he can come up with anything more!"
Xi Liu also nodded: "Okay, I'll trust you this time. But if you lose, don't cry and deny it!"
"I'm telling you exactly what I'm saying. The lackeys behind you can all bear witness to that. Now I'm going to practice my martial arts. Get out of here!"
"you!"
Being called a lackey, the hot-tempered young man wanted to lose his temper, but was stopped by Xi Liu. "If we cause trouble to him now, he will deny his debt after a few days of losing, saying that we hindered his practice and caused him to lose. Forget it, we can't give him this excuse, so let him succeed for a few days, let's go!"
"Okay, let's let him live a few more days!"
"Ning Ning, listen carefully. If you lose, forget about going on stage again! I will beat you up every time I see you from now on!"
Ning Ning ignored their harsh words and concentrated on familiarizing herself with the stage kung fu she had learned from her original body!
This is an ancient dimension, and the original body was indeed a disciple of the Liyuan Opera, but the people in this world are extremely fond of opera, unlike the people in some other worlds, who, while admiring opera, despise the singers and think they are lowly "actors".
People in this world love to listen to operas, and those who perform operas have a high status and are not playthings to be manipulated by others.
The original body's biological father died early, and his mother remarried into the Xi family with him a few years ago. Xi Liu is the son of the original body's stepfather Xi Ying.
However, Xi Liu was not born to Ning's mother, but to Xi Ying's original wife.
The Xi family owned a theater, and probably influenced by the Xi family, I also became very interested in singing opera.
Later, when Xi Liu wanted to learn opera, the Xi family helped him to become an apprentice to the famous artist Jin Shengyu, and they also gave him an extra gift, including the original body.
The original body made rapid progress in learning opera and soon surpassed Xi Liu.
But then the original body's hard days came. Ning's mother pulled him to a deserted place and cried very sadly.
"You are such an unfilial child. You only care about yourself and don't care about your mother's situation! You beat Xi Liu. Although his father didn't say anything, he kept forcing Xi Liu to study hard. He beat him up when he didn't do what he wanted and made him sick. How can your mother live in the Xi family? You are better than Xi Liu, just know it in your heart, why do you have to show it? You are older than him, so what if you let him give in?!"
