Time flies in a blink of an eye, and seven days have passed since the auction at this time, and Red Leaf City has gradually returned to its former tranquility, but this is only a temporary tranquility, because in half a month it will be the hunting period of Red Leaf City, and at that time, Red Leaf City will usher in a lively scene again. Therefore, Xia Yang and the others basically spend every day in the martial arts arena except for sleeping.

On this day, Xia Yang and the others were practicing on the martial arts arena as usual, and just when the cultivation was about to end, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the door, and Xia Yang and the three of them noticed the unexpected arrival of this person, this person was none other than Xia Ren, the housekeeper of the Xia family.

Xia Ren saw Xia Yang and the three of them, and hurriedly came over to salute and said, "Xia Ren has seen Young Master Xia Ye, Young Master Xia Yang, and Young Master Xia Yuan. ”

Xia Ye asked, "Renbo, you are so flustered, is something wrong?"

"Back to the young master, there is a mysterious person in a black robe outside the door, the eldest young master explained a few days ago that if such a person comes to visit, he must report to him immediately. Therefore, I hurried over to report it, so as not to delay the matter of the eldest young master. Xia Ren said.

"Is it the black-robed man?" Xia Yang was stunned in his heart, thinking that it was the mysterious person who appeared at the auction that day?

"What does the black-robed man look like? Didn't you ask him where he came from?" Xia Ye asked with a frown.

The other party was covered in a black robe and couldn't see his appearance at all, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but one thing was that his voice was very special, very hoarse and sharp. I also asked about this person's identity, but the other party just didn't say it, and said that the eldest young master knew him. So I didn't ask any more! I'll ask again. Xia Ren replied.

"No need, you go and report it, so as not to delay the big event!" Xia Ye didn't ask anymore, thinking that even if that person had great ability, he wouldn't dare to come to the Xia family.

"Yes" After saying goodbye to the three of them, Xia Ren turned around and walked in the direction of the master's study.

Xia Yuan came to the two of them and said curiously: "The black-robed man, it can't be the black-robed man who appeared at the auction a few days ago, I heard others say that there was a black-robed man who fought with our Xia family for the Red Feather Sword at the end of the auction, could it be that person!"

Xia Yang nodded and said: "The person who appeared at the auction at that time should be the same person as the person Ren Bo said, who was also covered by a black robe, and his voice was hoarse and sharp and harsh. At that time, the man stopped his father after the auction and said that he was willing to exchange the Akabane Sword for a greater price, but his father did not agree. At that time, the man had said that if my father thought twice, he would come to the door. I think the purpose of this person's visit this time is obvious, he is coming for the Red Feather Sword!"

"Oh, since this person's purpose is the Akabane Sword, and he dares to come alone, it seems that this person is either very strong, or he is * deep. Let's not worry about it here, let's let the elders solve it. Seeing that the hunting period is coming, let's hurry up and cultivate!" Xia Ye finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the middle of the martial arts arena.

Xia Yuan chased after him and said, "Don't, big brother, let's go listen to it, you must know that the Red Feather Sword will be given to you in the future, why don't you care at all." If this is snatched away by the black-robed man, won't you lose a weapon in your hand, big brother!" Xia Yuan paused and said, "Besides, today's cultivation is over soon, and we won't be able to delay long if we go to take a look!" After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he secretly kept making eye contact with Xia Yang, and he himself knew that he couldn't move Xia Ye just by himself.

Xia Yang smiled helplessly, but he also wanted to know how the elders would solve this thorny problem, after all, he wanted the two of them to know more about the Red Feather Sword.

Thinking of this, Xia Yang opened his mouth and said: "Xia Yuan is right, today's cultivation is indeed coming to an end, besides, the Red Feather Sword is my Xia family's righteous and bright thing after all, if someone else hears that the Red Feather Sword is not in the hands of our Xia family, they will definitely see us laugh." Moreover, in the future, the Red Feather Sword may really be your right-hand weapon big brother! Xia Yuan is right, let's go and have a look. ”

Xia Ye heard Xia Yang say this, his heart couldn't help but be a little moved, and when he didn't know how to say it, Xia Yuan walked over and pulled him towards the living room, and said at the same time: "Big brother, don't hesitate anymore, otherwise it's really too late!"

"You Xia Yuan, you wait, you will be discovered if you go like this!" Xia Ye said.

"Don't worry, I know a place where we hide and they won't find us if they don't get there. So, we had to get to the parlor before they did. Xia Yuan said immediately.

Xia Yang followed behind the two, thinking in his heart that since this black-robed man dared to come alone, he must not be a good person, and he didn't know how his father would solve it?

It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the meeting room, and there was no one in the meeting room at this time. Xia Yuan walked in first and walked to the left, and said at the same time, "Come with me, they will be back soon." In an inconspicuous place on the left, Xia Yuan stopped, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and said to the two: "You can't tell others about this place!"

"Okay, hurry up, otherwise I'll see what you do when they come!" Xia Ye said helplessly.

Xia Yuan pushed open the wooden door and walked in, Xia Yang and the two walked in with Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan said: "This was originally a place to store sundries, but it was vacated later, and no one has come in here since." Xia Yuan looked at the puzzled expressions of the two, and then explained: "I also accidentally found out not long ago, okay, don't ask, they must be coming soon." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear Xia Ren's voice from outside the door, "Sir, please come in, I have already reported to the young master, please wait for a while, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

"Thank you, I'll just wait here!" replied the black-robed man.

"Okay" Xia Ren turned around and exited the room after speaking, and there was no other movement in the living room for a while.

Xia Yang and the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to make a sound. After Xia Yang heard the voice of the person who came, he secretly said in his heart Sure enough, this person is the same person as the mysterious person who appeared at the auction at that time.

When Xia Ye and Xia Yuan heard this voice for the first time, they suddenly felt uncomfortable in their hearts, if it weren't for the firmness of their minds, they would definitely make a sound, which would definitely reveal the whereabouts of the three of them. The three of them glanced at each other, and their breath gradually adjusted.

After the tea, I only heard Xia Houming's voice coming from outside the door, "I don't know if Your Excellency is coming to the door today, what is the important matter?" As he was speaking, Xia Houming's figure appeared in the living room.

Xiahou Ming glanced at the black-robed man, a look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart that the purpose of this person's coming must be the same as last time, he came to the Red Feather Sword. Thinking of this, Xia Houming stretched out his hand and pointed to the guest chair in front of him and said, "Your Excellency, please take a seat." After saying that, he walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

The black-robed man hurriedly said, "Brother Xia is polite, thank you." The black-robed man didn't sit down, but continued to speak: "It's good not to see Brother Xia for a few days", before the black-robed man finished speaking, he heard Xiahou Ming interrupt him, and only heard Xiahou Ming say: "As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, and if you don't do dark things, your Excellency should not sell Guanzi." ”

"Haha, good, Brother Xia is really bold, and the little brother will no longer be verbose. As soon as the words changed, the black-robed man said: "I don't know how Brother Xia thinks about what I said a few days ago, don't worry, as long as Brother Xia is willing to cut his love, the younger brother will definitely satisfy Brother Xia." After speaking, the black-robed man looked at Xiahou Ming.

Xiahou Ming was stunned in his heart, and secretly came. Xiahou Ming pondered carefully and asked, "I don't know why Your Excellency is interested in a superb treasure?"

"Don't hide it from Brother Xia, the Red Feather Sword was the last weapon that one of my old people built before his death, and it only fell into the hands of outsiders for some reason, and now that I already know its whereabouts, I want to take it away, first, to miss the ancients, and second, to complete the trust of the old people. Although the hoarse and sharp voice was still very harsh, the tone revealed a dullness of nostalgia for his friend.

Xiahou Ming listened to what the black-robed man said, and the living room fell silent for a while, Xiahou Ming thought to himself: The Red Feather Sword is very important, not to mention the damage to the Xia family's face, the most important thing is that the Red Feather Sword can become a treasure of earth weapons in the future, how can it be so easy to give it to others! Xia Houming thought of this, and said: "Your Excellency's feelings for your old friend are worthy of Xia's admiration, and Xia also feels deeply sorry for the death of your friend, but I don't know who that master is?"

"I don't want to mention the name of the deceased, and I ask Brother Xia to be grateful!" said the black-robed man.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that this matter is very important, and Xia can't be the master alone, and Xia can't be sure if it's true based on your words alone. Therefore, what Your Excellency asked Xia Mou could not agree, if it was something else, within the Xia family's ability, the Xia family would still be able to help!" Xia Houming said in a deep voice, his tone was full of determination, obviously he would not let go.

"This Brother Xia, please think about it carefully, as long as Brother Xia is willing to give up the Red Feather Sword to Zaixia, he is willing to exchange it for ten times the price. The black-robed man said in a sincere tone.

Xia Houming didn't speak, and for a while the living room fell into it again.

"The Akabane Sword will not be given to Your Excellency!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, shattering the temporary silence in the living room.

The person who came was Xia Dingtian, the head of the Xia family, in fact, Xia Dingtian had been here for a long time, and he heard everything the two said, but he didn't come in. Xia Dingtian looked at the black-robed man, and said for a while: "What Your Excellency said, please forgive the Xia family for not agreeing! Everyone in Red Leaf City knows that the Red Feather Sword was obtained by the Xia family in an upright manner, if you let others know that the Red Feather Sword was obtained by others, then how will my Xia family gain a foothold in Red Leaf City in the future? ”

"Then how can we make the Xia family master believe what he said?" the black-robed man asked.

"It's just a superb treasure, why does Your Excellency keep refusing to stop, is there still a secret that we don't know about the Red Feather Sword?" Xia Dingtian suddenly asked, he wanted to see if this mysterious person knew if the Red Feather Sword contained a trace of the secret of heaven and earth. 、

When Xiahou Ming heard his father ask like this, he also listened attentively to how the black-robed man answered. In the dark room where Xia Yang and the three of them were, Xia Ye and Xia Yuan turned to look at Xia Yang, their eyes revealing doubts and inquiries. Xia Yang secretly thought about this matter, it was better to wait for grandpa and them to make their own decisions, and it was better not to leak it out. Thinking of this, Xia Yang shook his head and said that he didn't know either. Xia Ye and the others did not suspect it, but turned around and listened carefully to the conversation of several people outside.

Xia Ye secretly said in his heart: What secret will this Red Feather Sword hide, when he heard that the Red Feather Sword was auctioned by the Xia family for eight million gold coins, he was still very surprised, although the best treasure weapon is indeed a good weapon, but it is just a top treasure weapon, now that I think about it, this Red Feather Sword may really hide some kind of secret. Thinking of this, Xia Ye glanced at Xia Yang again, he felt that Xia Yang should know about it, but since he refused to say it, there must be a reason why he couldn't say it.

At this time, the voice of the black-robed man sounded in the living room, pulling Xia Ye's mind back to his body.

"This, well, the Xia family's reputation in Red Leaf City has also been heard in the next few days. Then I'll say it bluntly, and I hope that the Xia family master can let me take the Red Feather Sword away when the time comes. In fact, the Red Feather Sword does hide a secret, I think Brother Xia should have already told the Xia family master!" The Akabane Sword was not forged successfully, at that time, my old friend was plotted by someone, so that the strength was greatly reduced, according to his plan, he was originally to make the Akabane Sword into a ground-level weapon, but in the end it was all in vain, my friend was secretly calculated at the time, and was seriously injured, and the person who plotted against him will be snatched away for the successful Akabane Sword, and when I arrived, it was too late. My friend has run out of oil, and even the powerhouses of the Yuan Dan Realm have no skills to return to the sky. The last words of the old friend said that he must recover the Akabane Sword and forge him successfully, and he also told me, "Speaking of this mysterious black-robed man, he didn't say any more."
