More than 4,000 years? Originally, Xia Yan thought that the history of more than 400 years was already very long. But now, the third grandfather told him that the Xia family was already more than 4,000 years old, how could he not be surprised?

"Don't be surprised! Actually, the original ancestor of our Xia family was a holy emperor! Since that ancestor was no longer in the world, our Xia family has gradually declined. The current Xia family is far less powerful than before!" Xia Changhe sighed and said abruptly.

Xia Yan was really shocked! He never knew this information. The earliest ancestor of the Xia family turned out to be a Holy Emperor? Xia Yan knew about the Holy Emperor. The strongest person in the Dragon Continent is the Holy Emperor! The Holy Emperor is in charge of the Holy Land, the Holy Land is in charge of the Temple, and the Temple is in charge of the Holy Temple!

And the highest power center of a county town like Jade Water City is the Holy Church, and in the entire Dragon Continent, there are thousands of Holy Churches. It can be seen from this that the Holy Emperor's power is really great, it can be said that the Holy Emperor controls the entire Dragon Continent!

"This ring was left by that ancestor, and this ring is called Lingluo Ring. In fact, this Lingluo ring has always been passed down to the next patriarch in the family. However, the previous patriarch of our Xia family passed the ring to me. Xia Changhe said with a slightly wry smile.

The previous patriarch of the Xia family was Xia Changhe's father. He passed this ring to Xia Changhe, naturally he was selfish.

After Xia Yan was shocked, he took the black ring from Xia Changhe's hand, put it on his hand, and stroked it carefully. There are many fine lines on the ring that have not been rubbed off with the passage of time, and the material of the ring is very strong, and although it has been passed down for 4,000 years, these lines are still very clear.

"Xia Yan, don't lose this Lingluo ring. Xia Changhe's expression was solemn, and he immediately said: "Actually, our Xia family has always had a legend about this ring, and this Lingluo ring is not an ordinary ring. If you can open this ring, you can obtain the power in the ring and become a peerless powerhouse. Alas, alas...... In the past four thousand years, our Xia family has experienced hundreds of patriarchs, but none of them have been able to open this ring. Now, even our people are gradually forgetting this legend. However, Xia Yan, no matter what, I hope this ring can bring you good luck!" Xia Changhe finally patted Xia Yan's shoulder again, Xia Yan felt the weight on his shoulder, and the crystal light in his eyes flashed.

"Third Grandpa, I want to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family next year! I want to go to the Purple Leaf Academy to study, only when I go to the Purple Leaf Academy, can I challenge the Holy Hall Master as soon as possible!" Xia Yan said firmly.

"Purple Leaf Academy?Templar Hall Master?" Xia Changhe was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Xia Yan, you have not passed a single meridian now, and next year's selection, do you think ......?"

"Forget it, Xia Yan, come on, I hope you can pass the selection!" Xia Changhe suddenly smiled again and looked at Xia Yan kindly. Obviously, Xia Changhe was a little insincere, and he didn't quite believe that Xia Yan could do it.

Xia Yan nodded solemnly, no matter how difficult it was, he had to work hard to achieve his goal. Among the children under the age of fifteen in the family, the Xia Liu, who has the highest achievement, has already opened up eighty-seven of the one hundred and eight meridians!

Looking at the back of Xia Changhe leaving, Xia Yan gradually digested the information he had just heard. From morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, from evening to early morning, Xia Yanzai carefully looked at the ring on his hand hundreds of times, even forgetting his hunger, and did not see anything unusual about this black ring.

The sun rose, the bright sunlight shone through the tall purple tung leaves in the courtyard, Xia Yan sat under the purple tung tree, his eyes closed, a faint red tide on his face, and worked hard to run his mind, wanting to control the internal force like a gossamer to open up the meridians in his body.

Again and again, again and again, the sun slowly slipped to the top of his head, Xia Yan didn't know how many times he had tried, but none of them succeeded, and the first meridian still didn't show any signs of being opened. However, Xia Yan's handsome face was not discouraged, and in the past ten years, he had never given up cultivation.

Suddenly, at this time, there was a sound of small footsteps from outside the courtyard. Listening to this voice, Xia Yan knew that it was the sound of a woman's footsteps.

"Could it be that Xiao Cui again?" Xia Yan frowned, knowing that someone was about to walk into the courtyard, so he had to open his eyes first and get up from the ground. There was some resentment in his heart, and his eyes looked at the courtyard gate with a hint of dissatisfaction, he didn't like the patriarch's envoy Xiaocui very much.

The figure flashed, and a tall woman appeared in Xia Yan's eyes, and the woman who entered Xia Yan's humble courtyard was not the patriarch's maid Xiaocui.

"Are you Young Master Xia Yan?" The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw Xia Yan in a simple dress in the courtyard, obviously seeing Xia Yan for the first time, and then opened her mouth and asked with an uncertain taste.

Xia Yan nodded, he didn't recognize this woman, but looking at her clothes, she should also be the maid of the Xia family.

"Young Master Xia Yan, my name is Xiaoyu, and my young lady is Xia Zixin! Miss told me to send you a book!" As Xiao Yu spoke, her eyes looked left and right, but she didn't see anyone else, so she carefully took out an ancient book with a blue cover from the pink placket on her chest, and looking at her appearance, it must have been Xia Zixin who told her not to let others see it. There are several golden handwriting on the blue cover, which is called "Luoying Breaking the Jade Sword".

Xia Yan looked directly at Xiao Yu, and his thin body did not move.

Xiao Yu puffed out her pink cheeks, felt a little unhappy in her heart, and said secretly, "Although I haven't been in the Xia family for a long time, I follow Miss and know your young master's status in the Xia family." Miss kindly asked me to send you a cheat book to cultivate, but you put on such a face to show me. ”

Although Xiao Yu was unhappy in her heart, she had to continue: "Miss asked me to send this book for Young Master Xia Yan to read carefully, she said that she hoped that this book could be helpful to Young Master." ”

When Xia Yan saw this cheats, he knew that it should be Xia Zixin's own cultivation cheats, although this cheats were not considered to be in the stream, but it was the top grade in the cheats that were not in the stream. The ordinary descendants of the Xia family will not be able to get the opportunity to cultivate this secret book.

Hearing a trace of unhappiness in Xiao Yu's tone, Xia Yan's face did not change at all. Xia Yan's cultivation cheats were secretly taken by Xia Changhe, although they did not enter the stream, but they were not much different from this "Luoying Breaking Jade Sword". Therefore, there is no need for Xia Yan to accept this cheatbook at all.

Xia Yan said indifferently: "Thank you on my behalf, but I don't need this cheatbook, please take it back!"

As he spoke, Xia Yan waved his hand slightly and made a gesture of sending off guests.

Xiao Yu obviously didn't expect Xia Yan to have such an attitude, and he didn't accept the cheats, and after being slightly stunned, a look of anger appeared on the little pink face.

After two or three breaths, Xiao Yu stomped her little foot fiercely, muttered dissatisfiedly, turned around and walked away quickly. If it was in front of another young master, Xiao Yu would naturally not dare to show this dissatisfaction.

Xia Yan shook his head with a bitter smile, and muttered to himself: "Thank you for your kindness, you just asked the maid to send the cheats, do you think I'm just a waste? Walking with me makes you feel embarrassed? In this case, why did you send someone to send this cheats? Is it because you are uneasy?"

Standing quietly in the courtyard for a while, Xia Yan returned to his room, skillfully received a few pieces of clothes of similar style into a floral package, turned around and walked out of the courtyard and closed the dilapidated wooden door.

"Didn't he even look at it?" In a delicate small courtyard in the backyard of the Xia family, a woman in a white dress tightened her eyes, and then asked in a resentful tone.

Standing respectfully in front of her was the maid Xiaoyu who had just returned from Xia Yan's residence, and Xiaoyu was holding the secret book of "Luoying Breaking the Jade Sword" with a blue cover in her hand.

"Yes, Miss, he smiled very indifferently when he saw this book, as if he looked down on the book that Miss gave him! However, that Young Master Xia Yan was born really good-looking, I think among all the young masters of the Xia family, only Young Master Xia Yan is the best. Xiao Yu pursed her lips, remembering Xia Yan's smile at that time, she was angry in her heart. However, thinking of Xia Yan's handsome appearance, he couldn't help but praise him.

"Forget it, since he doesn't need it, just let me be this good person for nothing, let him go!" Xia Zixin waved her white and smooth boneless arm and sighed slightly.

In her opinion, Xia Yan is beyond her strength, and at this time, she is still trying to save face. With a faint sigh in his heart: "Forget it, the road in the future, where you go, is your business." However, I will always remember the brotherly and sister relationship between you and me. ”
