"Xiaoqing's hands are really dexterous!"

Xia Yan changed into the white clothes sent by Xiaoqing and stretched out his arms, feeling very suitable, more suitable than the one he chose in the clothing store.

"This fabric is also very comfortable!" Xia Yan's fingers slid lightly on the clothes, the fabric was very soft, although it was not those very expensive gorgeous materials, it was very comfortable to wear on the body.

Put the golden ticket in the placket and the brocade box found from Su Li in the cabinet, Xia Yan went out. After saying goodbye to Xiaoqing, he hurriedly left the small courtyard and walked towards the courtyard where the patriarch Xia Feilong lived.

"Young Master Xia Yan!"

As soon as he turned the corner, Xia Yan heard a call for him.

"The patriarch is in the living room, tell you to hurry up when you get back. The guard said to Xia Yan respectfully.

"What's so urgent?" Xia Yan frowned in surprise again, wondering in his heart, what was it that made the patriarch so anxious to find himself?

The guard still bowed down and said, "Back to Young Master Xia Yan, I don't know exactly what the matter is, but Miss Xia Zixin, Young Master Xia Liu, and the Great Elder, Fourth Elder, Seventh Elder, and Eighth Elder of the Xia Family are all in the living room now. In addition to this, there were several important guests. ”

"Important guest!" Xia Yan frowned and repeated.

Xin said: "The problem should be in these guests, the patriarch must be in a hurry for me to meet these important guests." ”

"I know, I'll be right over now. Xia Yan chuckled at the guard.

When he stepped away, the spiritual power instantly reached the soles of his feet, and then, Xia Yan turned into a breeze and disappeared in place in an instant.

And as soon as the guard heard Xia Yan finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and a white figure flashed in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" the guard was stunned, "Where is Young Master Xia Yan?"

When the guards were looking for Xia Yan, Xia Yan had already disappeared.

Meeting room!

The gate facing the front yard is the largest building in the Xia family, and usually, this living room is used to attract distinguished guests. There are many rooms inside, and even hundreds of guests can easily live at the same time.

At this time, outside the door of the living room, there were sixteen people standing, eight of whom were the guards of the Xia family, and eight of them, although they were also guards, were obviously not from the Xia family.

Xia Yan's eyes turned, thinking in his heart, these people are not from Yushui City.

"Where did these people come from?" Xia Yan recalled, "I don't seem to have seen these people before. ”

In fact, he had been nesting in that abandoned courtyard a year ago, and even if these guests came to Xia's house, he would not be able to see them.

"Young Master Xia Yan!"

When Xia Yan's figure appeared in the public guard satellite TV line, the eight guards of the Xia family said respectfully.

The other eight people swept their gazes and landed on Xia Yan with sharp eyes.

Xia Yan didn't care, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, the big brother of the guards, has worked hard!"

"Young Master Xia Yan, I'll go inform the patriarch!" a burly guard captain clenched his fists and said respectfully to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan nodded, "Okay!"

After a while, the captain of the guard who went in to report walked out of the hall quickly and shouted to Xia Yan: "Young Master Xia Yan, the patriarch let you in now!"

Xia Yan nodded, raised his feet and stepped up the steps, and entered the main entrance of the living room with a few shakes of his waist.

This is the first time Xia Yan has come to the living room, the furnishings in the hall are very simple and elegant, and all kinds of utensils are made of good wood, which is divided into two floors. The guest rooms are on the second floor. The large hall on the first floor is a place for the host and guests to discuss or chat.

As soon as Xia Yan entered the door, he saw Xia Feilong and several elders sitting on the chairman, and the guests sitting opposite were some people that Xia Yan had never seen before, and one of the old men had a bright light in his eyes from time to time, obviously a strong master.

Beside the old man, there was also a relatively obvious young man, who was about the same age as Xia Yan. Holding a simple long sword in his hand, there was only a trace of evil aura between his eyebrows, and a sense of arrogance in his eyes was naturally revealed.

"I've seen the patriarch, the elders!" After Xia Yan entered, his eyes swept away, and he quickly bowed and said.

"Xia Yan, come and see our distinguished guests of the Xia family. This is the elder of the Liu family from Guangyuan City, as well as Liu Kai, the son of the patriarch! The next few are also the young masters of the Liu family!" Xia Feilong saw Xia Yan coming in, and beckoned Xia Yan to come over.

"Hehe, Elder Liu, Gongzi Liu, this is the Xia Yan of our Xia family!" Xia Feilong smiled again and introduced to the guest.

"I've seen Elder Liu!Hehe, Liu Gongzi is heroic, young and handsome, it's really admirable!" Xia Yan clenched his fists slightly and said with a smile.

Elder Liu looked Xia Yan up and down with his eyes, and then said with a smile on his face: "This Xia Yan, is this the best child of the Xia family in recent years?"

There seemed to be a hint of disdain in his tone.

And that Liu Gongzi also smiled coldly: "Young Master Xia Yan, you are really busy!"

His meaning was obvious, their guests had arrived at Xia's house yesterday afternoon, but Xia Yan had only arrived now, obviously wanting to squeeze Xia Yan with words.

Xia Zixin, who was standing behind Xia Feilong, glanced at Liu Kai with beautiful eyes and snorted coldly in a low voice.

"In order to cultivate, I have to keep myself busy, sometimes I will leave the family for a day or two, and I ask Elder Liu Gongzi to forgive me!" Xia Yan smiled slightly, and did not have any dissatisfied expression because of this.

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't have the slightest expression of displeasure, Elder Liu was also slightly stunned, and his expression was a little shocked, and then he returned to normal.

"It's okay!" Elder Liu said with drooping eyelids and a thin palm.

"Xia Yan, our Xia family has recently had a very important business cooperation with the Liu family, and we are ready to jointly mine a copper mine on the border between Yushui City and Guangyuan City. This time, Elder Liu came to Yushui City to discuss this matter. Xia Feilong chuckled and said slowly to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan nodded, although Guangyuan City is also a county seat, it is more prosperous than Yushui City. The Templar Hall Master of Guangyuan City is one of the Temple Deacons of Purple Leaf City! The Templar Hall Master of Yushui City is not the Temple Deacon!

"And Liu Gongzi, and the two sons of the Liu family, are going to Purple Leaf City to participate in the assessment of Purple Leaf Academy, so they will stay in our Xia family for two by the way. Xia Feilong continued.

Xia Yan looked at Liu Gongzi and the two young people standing behind him, smiling.

"Liu Gongzi's strength is very good, and when he was fighting yesterday, Zixin was defeated by him with one sword. Fortunately, this Liu Gongzi's subordinates were merciful, otherwise Zixin might have been injured. Xia Feilong's tone didn't change at all.

Xia Yan was shocked in his heart, and suddenly looked at Xia Feilong.

"Discussion?" Xia Yan said secretly in his heart, "Does this exchange have other meanings?"

Xia Feilong quietly glanced at Xia Yan, and then smiled again, "However, Zi Xin is not the most outstanding child of our Xia family's younger generation, hehe, so when Elder Liu said yesterday that our Xia family's young children are not as good as the Liu family, I refuted it." I said at the time that there is another Xia Yan in our Xia family, who is the best, and his strength should not be under Liu Gongzi. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan probably understood.

However, Xia Yan was a little strange, why did the patriarch pay so much attention to the discussion?

"If it was a simple discussion, the patriarch would not have stirred up the crowd and deliberately said it in front of everyone at this time. Besides, if it was just a martial arts competition between the descendants of the family, the patriarch would not speak in such a tone. Although Xia Feilong's tone was calm, Xia Yan could hear a trace of anger contained in it.

"Elder Liu doesn't believe what I said, he has to meet you in person!" Xia Feilong's beard fluttered slightly, and his eyes shone brightly, "However, Xia Yan, you went out to cultivate yesterday and didn't come back." Fortunately, today, I finally waited for you to come back. ”

"Patriarch Xia, what I said yesterday still counts! As long as this Xia Yan can defeat Liu Kai, the mining agreement of the mine will be signed according to what you say. And if Liu Kai defeats Xia Yan, then ......" Elder Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the yin and yang strange aura said.

It seems that he is very confident in the strength of Liu Kai beside him.

Xia Feilong laughed and said, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, so it's decided!"

Xia Yan was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It turned out that in the name of learning, the final mining agreement was signed!"

At this time, Xia Yan completely understood, no wonder Xia Feilong was so serious about this matter.

Xia Yan looked at Liu Kai and smiled in his heart.

"Xia Yan, do you still need any special preparations?" Xia Feilong asked as he looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm ready." ”

Xia Zixin, who was behind Xia Feilong, suddenly stepped forward a few steps to Xia Yan's side, raised her toes and whispered, "Xia Yan, be careful, this Liu Kai's swordsmanship is very domineering." Yesterday I fought with him, and I couldn't stop him with a sword. Father said that his sword skills were the top cheats in the human-level secret codex, and he was also an attack type. ”

Xia Yan nodded slightly, and Xia Zixin retreated with a nervous expression.

When Liu Kai saw Xia Zixin and Xia Yan whispering something, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he turned up with disdain. stared at Xia Zixin, with a hint of silver evil.

Xia Liu also looked at Xia Yan with some excitement.

"Now that you're ready, let's start!Liu Kai, pay attention to proportion, don't hurt the best son of the Xia family, Xia Yan Gongzi. Elder Liu commanded Liu Kai in a condensed voice.

As soon as Elder Liu said this, several elders of the Xia family were a little moved, and their faces darkened a little.

Liu Kai immediately said loudly and with a smile: "Elder, please rest assured, I know how to do it!"

His eyes flickered, Liu Kai looked at Xia Yan with a sneer, and then walked to the center of the hall.

"Xia Yan, go ahead, pay attention to proportion!" Xia Feilong didn't change his expression, but just said to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan smiled in response, and also walked to the center of the hall. Several elders of the Xia family looked at Xia Yan nervously at this time.

You must know that the interests involved in this battle are very huge. Which agreement is signed, and the money involved in the end can even reach millions of gold coins.

Therefore, whether it is the Xia family or the Liu family, they are very concerned about the victory or defeat of the competition between Xia Yan and Liu Kai.

It's a nominal competition, but in fact, it's a huge family interest that is being scrambled!

Xia Yan thought in his heart at this time, "If I use spiritual power, with my strength, I can naturally easily defeat this Liu Kai." But once the spiritual power is used, then the patriarch will inevitably feel it. In the past, although I stepped into the innate realm, I still used internal force, and even if I used it, I would not be discovered. Now, it's different......"

Xia Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and his movements were a little slow.

Seeing Xia Yan's hesitation, Liu Kai only thought that Xia Yan was timid, the corners of his mouth raised, and his heart couldn't help but become even more proud.
