When the Liu family's mansion was desolate, and even some people began to sell their softness and choose to flee the family, the Xia family's mansion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The Liu family was completely defeated, which naturally meant that the remaining markets would be replaced by other forces.

Although it is impossible for the Xia family to monopolize all of them, they must share some vested interests to seek relative stability within Qingyang City, and at the same time, it is also to show their attitude towards the city lord's mansion.

But after the fall of the Liu family, the Xia family naturally wants to occupy the vast majority of the share.

And for those clansmen of the Xia family, a larger family industry naturally means more income, and the most intuitive benefit to them is more silver.

This is certainly something to be happy and excited about.

However, compared to the festival-like atmosphere in the entire family house, the atmosphere in Xia Ya's study at this time was a little depressing.

Liu Badao actually chose to commit suicide...... That's really ...... It was a bit of a surprise, but when you think about it, it's understandable. It's just that I didn't expect to fight for decades, but in the end, I saw him end up like this, which is really embarrassing. ”

Xia Ya picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip of hot tea, and said with emotion.

In this week's time, the old butler has finished his retreat and stood behind Xia Ya again.

With the help of the medicines provided by Xia Fan, although the retreat time was not long, the old housekeeper accumulated a lot of money, and decades of precipitation rose in one day, and finally climbed smoothly to the level of the Nine Rank Martial Sect.

However, if you want to go further, break through the Martial Sect and reach the realm of the Martial King, you need some extraordinary luck.

After all, after wasting so many years of time, the old housekeeper himself had missed the best age to ascend to the realm, although under the nourishment of those elixirs refined by Xia Fan, all the old diseases in his body had been removed, but the time lost could not be recovered after all.

Of course, in addition to luck, there are other methods, but with Xia Fan's current cultivation realm, it is not enough to refine the kind of elixir that can continue to help the old housekeeper.

Therefore, regarding the continued improvement of the old housekeeper's cultivation, at least in the short term, Xia Fan did not have any way.

The strength of the Nine Rank Martial Sect can already ensure that the Xia family occupies a place after going to the county government, so that they don't even have the strength to gain a foothold in the county government, so for the time being, the Xia family's demand for high-end force is not urgent.

"It's good to be dead, it's a hundred, if Liu is domineering and doesn't die, it will be a thorn in the heart after all. Although it can't make too much trouble, if the main body of the family moves to the county government, leaving only the Fearless Elder here, it is difficult to guarantee that those people in the Liu family will not make waves under the leadership of Liu Tyranny. Now he's so clean and dead. The Liu family is also falling apart, and for us, it is the best result. ”

Xia Fan said disappreciatively.

He could understand Xia Ya's feeling of sympathy for Liu Badao, but that didn't mean he agreed with this emotion.

"Liu Badao should have seen things thoroughly, knowing that if he doesn't die, we are afraid that we will be wary of the rest of the Liu family. Only when he dies can this matter be regarded as the real end, as for the other Liu family members, they will not be taken into our eyes. Okay, let's not talk about that, the end of one paragraph always means the beginning of another, have you already made your decision? ”

Xia Ya said a word and directly changed the topic.

"Well, I've had a deep chat with her in the past few days, and she thinks you're right, and it would be better for us to go straight to Kyoto. Now that the dust has settled here, we plan to prepare and leave in a few days. ”

Xia Fan nodded.

"How many people are you going to take to Kyoto? You have to bring enough money to wrap up and so on, and when you go to Kyoto, you will inevitably have to spend money. Of course, as long as you and you can still get into any of the three universities in Kyoto, then the Xia family in Kyoto will provide all the daily necessities for free, including the expenses required in the school. Although we are not short of those silvers, I will be very happy if we can get the family to take the initiative to recognize our identity as members of the Xia family. ”

Xia Ya said very solemnly.

"I can only say that I will do my best, although I have not met anyone from my family, but I want to come...... The guys in it should be quite annoying, so if taking money from them would make me unhappy, I won't wronged myself for a so-called identity. ”

Xia Fan did not directly agree.

"Don't worry, anyone who can be admitted to the three universities in Kyoto will inevitably hold important positions in the imperial territory in the future. Since the establishment of the dynasty, the family has been standing in Kyoto for a long time, and naturally there is something unique about it, so the kind of problem you are worried about should not arise. ”

Xia Ya said confidently.

"It's too early to say this, I'll see what happens. I don't plan to take anyone with me when I go to Kyoto this time, I just want to leave with the two of you. The family wants to go to the county government and gain a foothold in the county government, it takes too many talents and resources, Ye Kui is a mature and quite powerful forger, I have left him enough things for him to study for a long time, and I have already talked to him about related things, he is willing to serve as the chief forging master of the family during the time I go to Kyoto. With such a Black Iron Fifth Order Forger here, the development speed of the family will be very rapid. ”

Xia Fan glanced at Ye Yi, who was sitting beside him, and continued: "Ya'er also has an amazing talent in alchemy, after my teaching during this time, she can basically be compared with the second-level alchemist of the Black Iron Order, I will also leave her something that can keep her learning and some pills, as long as Ya'er's martial arts cultivation realm can maintain a normal ascension speed, then it won't be long before she is enough to meet the demand for pills from the forces at the county level." With Ye Kui and Ya'er here, if the family is in the county government, there is no need to worry about refining treasures and pills. ”

"Where's the little scholar next to you? It's called Bai Xingshu, right? How did he arrange it? ”

Xia Ya asked.

"I haven't talked to him yet, but when I go to Kyoto, in order to sharpen myself along the way, I and I will still choose some more dangerous routes, so if I bring other people, it will be very inconvenient and not safe enough, I will try to persuade him not to come with me."

Listening to Xia Fan's answer, Xia Ya did not object, just nodded and said, "Since you already have a comprehensive idea, then I will not express my opinion." Okay, it's not too early, you go back and make arrangements, the three universities will have two enrollment times a year, and if you set off in these days, you should be able to catch up with the next enrollment day. ”

"Yes, I see."
