For the Xia family, duel is not an unfamiliar word.

As long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be fighting.

As big as a country, as small as a family, but whenever you live in a group, there will always be different interests and demands.

Even if everyone's goal is the same in the general direction, there will definitely be different details in the details of the requirements.

Because people's hearts are unpredictable, people's hearts are changeable.

Specific to the Xia family, a family with more than 1,000 people, the complexity of the relationship between various personnel can really be regarded as overwhelming.

Contradictions and disputes, large and small contradictions, dissatisfaction and indignation caused by various things, these negative emotions are like an undercurrent under the surface of a calm lake, which never appears when the wind is calm, but once it encounters a sudden storm, it is possible to take advantage of the situation to set off a monstrous wave.

No matter how fair and honest the people in the Xia family are in the dominant position, it is impossible to avoid this happening.

After all, people have relatives and distances, and everyone will have more or less different views on the same thing, and it is always the most headache for managers in the absence of a strong enough position.

In order to avoid the internal friction of the family's transition because of these things, at the beginning of the Xia family that had just appeared in Qingyang City, the first head of the Xia family who was the head of the Xia family in Qingyang City made a rule.

But when there is an irreconcilable dispute between the members of the Fanxia family, then if you want to solve the problem, you can apply with the Council of Elders and conduct it in a one-on-one duel!

Whoever wins a duel naturally has the right to decide on the dispute.

After the duel, no one should use this as an excuse to provoke conflicts, otherwise the whole clan will abandon them!

As for the contradictions between the two sides, they must also be completely put aside after the duel.

Over the years, the Xia family has long been accustomed to this family rule, and once they encounter the anger that must be vented when they are really angry, then see you on the duel stage.

The Xia family is still martial, so they are naturally more accustomed to solving problems with their fists.

While this will not eliminate all the resentment, it will at least keep the negative emotions within an acceptable range.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the two sides participating in the duel are basically about the same strength, once the difference in strength is too large, and the weaker side has no hope of winning at all, then even if the duel application is submitted to the Council of Elders, it will be rejected by the Council of Elders.

However, obviously, this application for a duel between Xia Yuan and Xia Fan will definitely be approved.

So after Xia Wuxian's father and son left the courtyard, Xia Wuxing looked at Xia Fan with a frown.

In the cognition of the vast majority of the Xia family, Xia Fan is still the waste who is not even a martial artist, even if Xia Yuan is not very good, but the strength of the third-grade martial artist can really be regarded as a world difference compared to Xia Fan.

Such a duel, there is no suspense at all.

"Don't worry, Second Elder, it's just Xia Yuan, it doesn't pose any threat to me. Okay, I'll go first, about this medicine tripod, you still have to be more strict in guarding it, I always feel that this thing is not right today, although it is indeed impossible for the third elder and Xia Yuan to do anything, but that woman who is not our family must have a problem! I have no evidence, just a gut feeling, and I hope the second elder will believe me. ”

Xia Fan saw the worry in Xia Wuxing's heart, and said very easily.

Xia Wuxing couldn't help but recall Xia Fan's performance in the courtyard of the Presbyterian Church yesterday, and his worries eased a little for a while, he nodded, watching Xia Fan and his party leave, and after thinking about it, he still felt that this matter had to be discussed with Xia Ya.

As for Yao Ding, he believed Xia Fan's statement very much, after all, the performance of Xia Wuxian and Xia Yuan's father and son was indeed a bit weird.

I just went by the way to apply for two blood attendants to take care of the medicine.

Thinking of this, Xia Wuxing immediately gathered the other people in the courtyard, and after a simple order, he also left his courtyard.

After Steward Zhou and his follower Xia Fan and his party left Xia Wud's courtyard, he confessed to Xia Fan, and then walked in the direction of the master's house in an extremely happy mood.

Although the body is still rickety, the whole body has been rejuvenated from old age.

In the past, rickets were a kind of helplessness, but now rickets are a kind of calmness.

"Second Young Master, where are we going?"

After following Xia Fan for a while, and finding that Xia Fan's direction was not to go back to his house, Xuehe couldn't help but ask.

"It's really boring to go out and go shopping, and I've been staying in the clan for the past few days. Besides, if I didn't leave, I would have to be called by the Council of Elders to ask for my opinion on the duel, and since they would pass it whether I agreed or not, why should I waste that time? ”

Xia Fan said casually.

At this time, Xia Fan walked on the road step by step, as if he had no bones.

Seeing the blood river and the bloody hands, they couldn't help but roll their eyes, if it weren't for the fact that they had been following Xia Fan for the past two days and already knew that Xia Fan was far from being as unbearable as the rumors, I am afraid that they would also be deceived by Xia Fan's appearance.

It's just that now that they know the truth, the two of them naturally can't help but want to slander in their hearts.

The content of the slander is not malicious, but more than that, it is an expression of admiration and admiration for Xia Fan's forbearance and his ability to deceive everyone in the entire family over the years.

Xia Fan didn't know what the two blood servants were thinking, although he was walking towards the gate of the clan house with his hands behind his back, and he made the image of that gentleman ten out of ten, but he was actually thinking about other things in his mind.

The identity of the gentleman is indeed very useful, just now he turned his face and suddenly scolded the third elder Xia Wuxian, if this kind of thing is done by someone else, I am afraid that the third elder Xia Wuxian will do it on the spot, and will continue to consider the deeper reasons afterwards.

But this kind of thing happened to him, although Xia Wuxian was a little unexpected, he didn't feel that there was anything abnormal, except for anger and thinking that he had lost face, Xia Wuxian would not shift the focus of his gaze to the body of the medicine ding.

This made Xia Fan very satisfied, and strengthened his determination to maintain his image to the end and even carry it forward.

There is nothing more pleasant than this kind of unreasonable and upright person.

In addition, the woman Xia Yuan brought with him always felt familiar, and what happened before would definitely not be as simple as a coincidence, so leaving the family house to walk around the streets of the city would help him recall the not-so-profound content in his memory, and maybe he could gain some additional gains
