Chapter 7 The Old Housekeeper with a Hidden Illness
The old housekeeper's surname is Zhou, and what his specific name is, Xia Fan is not clear.
But in his memory, in that disaster, the old butler's performance impressed him deeply!
This old man, who has served the head of the Xia family for two generations, no one knows how old he is, looks old, and seems to be able to enter the ground at any time, but in that disaster of annihilation, it is shocking to show the powerful strength of the Nine Rank Martial Artists!
At the same time, it is also one of the pinnacle combat power of the entire Xia family!
It's just that at that time, because the opponent's strength was too strong, the old butler finally died because of the defeat.
This alone is enough to win Xia Fan's respect from the bottom of his heart.
"Steward Zhou, your old body...... It seems that there is some hidden disease, huh? ”
Xia Fan followed the old butler's side, looking at the old butler's appearance that he couldn't help coughing when he walked two steps with his body slumped, and suddenly spoke.
Although returning to these more than twenty years ago has made his cultivation of the supreme martial arts come to naught, at least Xia Fan's vision is still there, and many small means that do not need to be supported by cultivation are still there.
These are treasures that belong exclusively to the soul and memory, and naturally do not disappear with the so-called rebirth.
Because of this, when he was in the courtyard before, he was able to avoid Ye Yi's sword like a ghost, and that kind of flashing and moving in a small area was not a difficult thing for the former martial arts supreme, even without the support of cultivation.
Just like now, just after following the old housekeeper for a few steps, Xia Fan saw the problem with the old housekeeper's body.
The old housekeeper, who was originally walking forward with his head down, suddenly stiffened after hearing Xia Fan's inquiry, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Xia Fan, looking at Xia Fan's face, the cold glint in his eyes flashed, and then he regained his composure, leaned over and said: "I don't understand what the second young master is talking about, as for talking about hidden diseases and the like, there must be one, people are old...... It's normal to have an illness or something. ”
"Hehe, Steward Zhou, you know that I don't mean this, I mean...... You're in the middle of it! ”
Xia Fan approached the old butler and deliberately lowered his voice and said.
When he heard Xia Fan say the words 'Pulse Killer Hand', the old housekeeper finally couldn't continue to maintain that calm appearance, his face was instantly filled with a shocked expression, and he looked at Xia Fan with wide eyes, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
How would he know!?
The old butler couldn't help but ask himself again in his heart.
It's no wonder that he reacted so much, it's really because this incident itself is his biggest secret!
Even the head of the previous generation of the Xia family, who accidentally saved his life, didn't know what kind of injury he had suffered.
Over the years, under the continuous erosion of the Absolute Pulse Hand, although he has always tried hard to compete, his cultivation has still fallen from the realm of the original Martial Sect to the Ninth Rank Martial Master, and it seems that it will continue to fall......
Since settling down in the Xia family, for decades, the old housekeeper has never told anyone about himself, because the 'Pulse Breaker Hand' itself represents a force that the Xia family can't afford to provoke at all!
The old housekeeper didn't want to cause some trouble to the Xia family because of him.
But now, the secret he has been hiding in his heart for decades has been revealed by someone.
What made him even more incomprehensible was that the one who revealed his secret was the second young master in the family who was known for his cunning and unlearned!
"I know this seems ridiculous to you, but I really see the 'Pulse Breaker' in you. Although in terms of grade, the 'Absolute Pulse Hand' can only be regarded as the fifth order of black iron, due to the particularity of the 'Absolute Pulse Hand' itself, it is not difficult for me to see some clues. Of course, it doesn't really matter, it's ......"
Speaking of this, Xia Fan leaned forward, got closer to the old butler, and said in a gnat voice: "I have a way to heal the injuries in your body that have never been able to be resolved due to the influence of the 'Pulse Breaking Hand'. ”
The old butler froze in place.
"I'm going to see my father first, and I'll talk about it when I come out of my father's room later. Just by looking at the appearance of your body, I can probably know that this 'Pulse Breaking Hand' has been lingering in your body for decades, and it is difficult to return to it, and it will be more troublesome to completely cure it. ”
Xia Fan stood up straight, and as he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the house.
The old housekeeper stood in place in a daze, staring blankly at the figure that Xia Fan had already entered the door, and his brain was in chaos.
He believed that Xia Fan really saw it himself, because even if he looked at the entire Qingyang City, it was impossible for anyone to see the appearance of the injury of the Pulsing Hand, not to mention that in the past few decades, he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, so naturally no one would tell Xia Fan about it.
But it is precisely because of this that the old butler feels even more incredible.
"It seems that the second young master in the family ...... It's not easy...... But if that's the case, he's been deceiving the entire family over the years, so why do you suddenly want to show a flaw in front of me? ”
The old butler frowned and fell into deep thought.
At the same time, Xia Fan was already standing in Xia Ya's room, looking at the dignified father sitting behind the desk, Xia Fan was in a state of agitation and almost lost control of his emotions.
But after all, I was mentally prepared.
Coupled with the quality of being a top killer, he still controlled his emotions for the first time, and after calming down, Xia Fan still had a tired smile on his face, and he saluted casually and said, "I've seen my father." ”
Xia Ya, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Xia Fan like he was not standing, and suddenly his forehead was bruised, and he reached out in anger and subconsciously slapped the table.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the teacups, inkstones and other things on the table were shaken by the force of this palm.
"Little bunny! Why don't you practice martial arts in your own yard, why did you come to me! Is it that you can't endure hardships and don't want to continue to practice with you? I'm telling you! It's not negotiable! Tell me you're sixteen! Until now, he is not even a martial artist! That Liu Yinglong of the Liu family is the same age as you, with the same qualifications as, but now he is already a fourth-grade martial artist! Why aren't you in a hurry at all! Do you have to lose all the faces of our Xia family! ”
Xia Fan's roar shook Xia Fan dizzy for a while, and Xia Fan could only smile bitterly for his body being so weak, but being able to hear his father's familiar loud voice again still made Xia Fan's heart warm.
"Hehe, you dissipate your qi and dissipate your qi, too much liver fire is not good for your health. Besides, it's rare for me to take the initiative to come and see you, why don't you wait for me to speak, and then come up and scold, then I'm too wronged. ”
Xia Fan said with a cheap smile on his face, and at the same time stepped forward directly behind Xia Ya, put his two hands on Xia Ya's shoulders, and then pressed them gently.
Such a reaction was so unexpected that Xia Ya was stunned on the spot.
What's going on?
Why do you own this little rabbit cub...... Take the initiative to show affection for yourself?!
Today this sun ...... Is it out of the west?
