Chapter 19: The Feast
Xia Yan stared at Lingluo Ring and nodded slowly: "It is this ring, since the third grandfather gave me the ring, in order to be able to cultivate quietly, I went to Yushui Mountain alone. One day, I suddenly encountered a colorful tiger in the mountains, and in the fight, I finally killed the tiger, but I was also slightly injured. When I woke up one night, I realized that there were more exercises in my mind. Since then, I have been practicing according to the exercises in my mind, and I never expected to achieve what I am today. ”
When Xia Changhe heard what Xia Yan said, he didn't have any doubts, there was already a legend in this Lingluo Ring, and what Xia Yan encountered now was the fulfillment of that legend. Those who can open the Lingluo Ring will become peerless powerhouses.
Xia Changhe shook his head slightly, his face was full of excitement, his eyes were shining, and he said with a laugh: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it!" Xia Yan, I never imagined that the Lingluo Ring would be successfully opened in your hand! Heaven will do this! Xia Yan, whether our Xia family can become strong again in the future depends on you!"
Xia Changhe faintly had a feeling that in the future, Xia Yan would be able to directly affect the rise and fall of the Xia family. No matter what, Xia Yan is a child of the Xia family, and it is Xia Yan's unshirkable responsibility to rejuvenate the Xia family.
Xia Yan nodded emphatically, "Third grandfather, don't worry, I will try my best not to disappoint you!"
Now Xia Yan's first goal is to achieve the innate realm, form a spirit gathering point in the body, become a spirit master, and challenge the master of the Holy Hall of Jade Water City!
........................
The evening breeze is gentle, the stars are ten thousand points, and the air is full of flowers. The crescent moon hung diagonally on the branches, and the faint light of the candles shone on the dim path from all directions.
Under the guidance of Xiaocui, Xia Yan came to the courtyard where the patriarch Xia Feilong's family lived. After the selection of outstanding children during the day, Xia Zixin invited Xia Yan to dinner together.
From a distance, Xia Yan saw Xia Zixin's pretty figure standing outside the gate of the courtyard, looking in this direction, as if waiting for him.
Sure enough, seeing Xia Yan's figure appear, Xia Zixin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a crisp laugh: "Xia Yan, my father has been waiting for you for a while, follow me in." ”
Before Xia Yan could speak, he was grabbed by Xia Zixin's warm little hand and pulled into the small courtyard.
The courtyard is brightly lit and fragrant, and you can smell the aroma of aged wine from afar. Although Xia Yan is not good at drinking, he also knows the quality of wine.
"The Great Elder is also included. In the courtyard, Xia Zixin stopped her body and suddenly looked at Xia Yan and said.
"Hmm, the Great Elder is also here, then I still won't go in!" Xia Yan's aura changed slightly when he heard this, and he shook his head and said.
The Great Elder has never had a good impression of him, and since the Patriarch has invited the Great Elder to a banquet today, if he also goes to be a guest, it will definitely make the Great Elder even more disgusted. Although the Great Elder had never had a good face towards Xia Yan, Xia Yan felt that it was better not to have any direct conflict with the Great Elder.
Of course, Xia Yan is not a soft egg, allowing others to bully. Even if it was the Great Elder of the Xia Family, if he really bullied him and refused to give up, he would make a direct and powerful counterattack.
"That's not good, my father's banquet today can be set up especially for you. If you don't show up, your father's face will be gone. Xia Zixin pursed her mouth, hurriedly grabbed Xia Yan, who was about to turn around, and said urgently.
"What, a banquet for me?" Xia Yan was surprised.
He didn't expect that the patriarch would deliberately entertain him, which was a bit flattering.
"Of course, the Great Elder just knew that his father was going to have a banquet for you, so he specially came here, and he brought that bastard Xia Liu to apologize to you. Xia Zixin's lips opened lightly and said with a smile.
The strength that Xia Yan showed today made Great Elder Xia Lai also deeply shocked. As the Great Elder of the Xia Family, of course he hoped that the Xia Family would become strong. In the past, he always thought that Xia Yan was a waste and had no value to the Xia family, and Xia Yan was the son of the demon girl of the Dark Night Continent, so he didn't pretend to be a fool. But now, he has regarded Xia Yan as a hope for the Xia family. Therefore, he personally took Xia Liu to apologize to Xia Yan in front of the patriarch, hoping to resolve the contradictions between the young children in the family.
No matter what, after all, it is a family, and the blood of the Xia family is in their bodies.
After Xia Yan thought about it for a while, he frowned and nodded, "Okay then!"
When the two entered the spacious living room, the patriarch and the great elder Xia Lai all stood up to welcome Xia Yan. Xia Yan felt such treatment for the first time, and he was really uncomfortable. Especially the bright smile on the Great Elder's face made him feel a little incredulous.
In the past, when Great Elder Xia Lai saw him at any time, he didn't have a good face. In fact, not only when I saw him, but also for the children of ordinary families, most of the great elders were cheeky. Therefore, almost all the young children in the family were afraid of the Great Elder.
Xia Liu stood behind the Great Elder, drooping his head and looking uneasy. Xia Liu is also extremely talented among the younger brothers of the Xia family, so he thinks too highly of himself in the past. After being deeply hit by Xia Yan today, the whole person was a little sluggish.
"Xia Yan, come and sit down, today you let the Xia family show their faces in front of the Xi family and the Wang family. Hehe, the people of the Wang family and the Xi family, all of them had really rich expressions at that time! I almost couldn't hold back my laughter at that time. Xia Feilong said with a laugh.
Xia Yan hurriedly said: "Thank you Patriarch for your compliment, in fact, this is also the credit of all the children of the Xia family." ”
"Hehe, Xia Yan, I had some bad opinions about you before, you can't keep it in mind. Xia Lai also laughed, "By the way, Xia Liu, this kid already knows that his behavior during the day is wrong, so he specially apologizes to you tonight." ”
"Xia Yan, in another month, it will be a contest between the outstanding children of the three major families in Yushui City, and when the time comes, you must fight for the Xia family!"
"Xia Yan, I have done a lot of things wrong in the past, please forgive me. As you said, we are brothers and a family after all. In the future, I will definitely respect you like a brother!" Xia Liu had obviously thought about what he wanted to say, and at this time he raised his head and looked at Xia Yan sincerely.
Xia Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Xia Liu, you and I will always be brothers, and we will always be a family." Our bodies are flowing with the blood of the Xia family. So, no matter what time it is, I will be by your side. ”
As soon as Xia Yan's words fell, Xia Liu snorted a little, with tears in his eyes.
"Hehe, good! good! Zixin, you are sitting next to Xia Yan. Xia Liu, you also come and sit down. Now, let's take a seat!" Xia Feilong clapped his hands happily and said, his face full of red light.
The children of the Xia family can work with one heart and one mind, he is naturally happy!
If a family is in civil strife, then the family is destined to be unable to become strong, and may even collapse at any time.
Xia Feilong looked at Xia Yan with satisfaction, and said in his heart, this Xia Yan is really a rare genius, I have Xia Yan in my next family, and it is really possible to revive the glory of the past. Xia Yan has such a mind at a young age, which is not something that can be done just by having cultivation talent.
"The Wang family and the Xi family, who have been operating in Yushui City for a hundred years, have long been deeply rooted. Especially in recent years, there are even faint signs of overpowering our Xia family. The descendants of these two families have also been geniuses in recent years. Xia Yan, Xia Liu, Zi Xin, in a month's competition, you must not underestimate the enemy!" When he said this, Xia Feilong's face was a little solemn.
"Well, according to the information we have got, Xi Qiushui of this Xi family and Wang Yuyan of the Wang family are very strong. Especially Xi Qiushui, it is likely that he has also opened up a hundred martial arts meridians, and his martial arts skills are not bad. Xia Lai looked at Xia Yan.
Among the younger brothers under the age of fifteen in the Xia family, only Xia Yan alone has opened up a hundred martial arts meridians.
