Just as Xiao Yao and Xiao Yan were chatting, a clear, cold voice came from the stage, interrupting them.

"Next up, Xiao Yao!"

Upon hearing the name, everyone present turned to look at Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao noticed that some of their eyes revealed expectation, while others showed indifference and jealousy.

Xiao Yao ignored the stares of these people and turned to Xun'er and Xiao Yan, saying, "Then I'll go up first."

Xun'er stretched out her slender arm, revealing her soft and delicate palm, and looked at the little bird on Xiao Yao's shoulder, gently calling out, "Fengming, come here..."

The little bird perched on Xiao Yao's shoulder seemed to sense Xun'er's intention, its red feathers trembling slightly as it slowly flew towards Xun'er's hand.

The little bird occasionally shook its head in Xun'er's palm, looking at Xun'er and letting out a few clear "eek-eek" chirps, as if responding to Xun'er's call, and then it obediently stood in Xun'er's palm.

It watched Xiao Yao's back as he slowly walked onto the stage, pointed with one of its wings, tilted its head to look at Xun'er, and made a low whimpering sound, as if it was asking Xun'er a question.

Xun'er gently stroked its head and spoke to it in a soft voice, as if telling it some reason.

Upon hearing this, the little bird seemed to understand Xun'er's meaning. It looked up at Xiao Yao's direction, then turned back to Xun'er, and rubbed its little head against Xun'er's palm, making a few soft chirping sounds.

Xun'er smiled and nodded, gently stroking the bird's feathers.

After watching the interaction between the little red bird and Xun'er, Xiao Yan couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Xun'er in a low voice.

"Xun'er, did Yao-ge find this little bird himself, or did you all discover it by chance?"

Xun'er turned her head, looked at Xiao Yan's curious eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She answered softly, "Actually, Xiao Yao and I found this little bird by chance in the back mountain."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

At the time, we were searching for a rare herb in the forest behind the mountain when we suddenly heard a faint chirping sound.

We followed the sound and found the injured little bird.

Its feathers were torn by branches, stained with blood, and looked very fragile.

So after we rescued it, it stayed close to the two of us and wouldn't leave.

"I see..." Xiao Yan nodded after hearing this.

At this moment, Xiao Yao looked at the black stone tablet in front of him and slowly placed his palm on the tablet.

"Xiao Yao, Fighter: Four Stars"

The entire hall suddenly fell silent. After a brief pause, a lively discussion erupted from the audience.

"Tsk, he's only at the fourth level of the Dou Zhe realm. He's actually stuck in the same place for the past two years."

"Sigh, these two brothers are indeed twins. One's battle qi cultivation has regressed, while the other's battle qi cultivation has not improved at all."

"Hey, don't say that. At least his battle qi cultivation hasn't regressed, and his cultivation level is far superior to the rest of us for his age!"

As Xiao Yao listened to the disdainful jeers and regrets of the people below the stage, his gaze slowly swept over them. Seeing the confusion and worry in Xun'er's eyes, he smiled slightly, indicating to Xun'er that she didn't need to worry.

Upon seeing this, Xun'er's worry gradually subsided. She saw Xiao Yao come downstairs and quickly went over to him, asking with concern, "Brother Xiao Yao, are you alright?"

Xiao Yao looked at Xun'er and, without asking why he did this, smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xun'er bit her lip lightly: "Hmph! How could these people talk about you two brothers like that? It's infuriating! No way, I'm going to have Fengming fly above them and give them a good beating..."

Upon hearing this, the little bird on Xun'er's shoulder nodded as if it were a spirit, and chirped a clear and melodious song, seemingly also standing up for Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao looked at Xun'er, who was like an angry kitten, and reached out to rub her little head.

"Xun'er, don't be angry! It's not worth getting angry over these people's gossip."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan jokingly added, "Hehe, Xun'er, although they may have foul mouths, asking them to do these things only makes them even fouler."

Xun'er glared at the two of them, her displeasure fading slightly. She muttered softly, "You two are just teasing me! I'm really angry! How can these people talk about Brother Xiao Yao like that!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yao took out a bag of potato-flavored chips from his storage ring and handed it to Xun'er, quickly changing the subject: "Alright, alright, Xun'er, let's not be angry anymore. Have some snacks and go for a walk to clear your head."

When Fengming saw the potato chips that Xiao Yao handed to Xun'er, its eyes suddenly lit up and it let out a joyful chirping sound.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao smiled and said to Xun'er, "Xun'er, look, Fengming has agreed to let us go out for a walk, right, little Fengming?" After saying that, he picked up a potato chip and handed it to her.

Xun'er saw Fengming nod, made a soft whimpering sound, and then ate the potato chips that Xiao Yao handed her.

Watching the interaction between Xiao Yao and Feng Ming, she felt the warmth of family.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly chimed in, "That's right, Xun'er, let's go eat something delicious and then find a place to relax."

After hearing the comforting words between the two, Xun'er's mood gradually improved. Holding potato chips in one hand, she pulled Xiao Yao forward with the other.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.
