Along the small and narrow lanes in the city, Xia Yan kept heading south. On the way, even if someone sees Xia Yan, they won't care too much. Xia Yan's outfit can't be reminiscent of the identity of the Xia family patriarch candidate.

The mask on his face had been removed after leaving the auction house, and on his delicate and handsome face, Xia Yan's two eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together.

"These missing gold coins...... It's difficult!" shook his head and said secretly in his heart.

"If you only lack tens of thousands of gold coins, you may be able to find the patriarch to solve it. But these hundreds of thousands of gold coins!!Our Xia family's Beiqufang City, the monthly profit is only tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"The family is so big, and all the expenses add up, and it is extremely expensive. I'm afraid that the gold coins accumulated in the Xia family's treasury are not very large!"

Walking on the road, Xia Yan kept circling such thoughts in his heart.

"Huh?"

Xia Yan's eyes changed, and he naturally stopped under his feet.

"How did I get to the Xi family's Nanqu Fang City? This Nanqu Fang City is the largest Fang City of the Xi family, and it is also the most important economic pillar of the Xi family. If the city collapses, then the Xi family will be in trouble!"

From afar, Xia Yan saw many cultivators coming in and out of Fang City in the Southern District.

Now, although the prestige of the Xia family has been further improved because of Xia Yan's relationship, in business, it is impossible to defeat the opponent by relying on prestige alone.

After all, the Xi family has also been operating in Yushui City for hundreds of years, and there are many families and forces that are dependent on the Xi family. Moreover, for such a long time, the Xi family also has many regular customers. It is impossible for these people to alienate the Xi family because the Xia family is becoming more and more famous, so they choose to do business with the Xia family.

Unless...... The Xi family was completely defeated, and there was no hope of a comeback, so they might consider switching camps.

"The overall layout of the South District Fang City and the North District Fang City of our Xia family is also similar. Xia Yan's eyes swept away, and a burst of light flashed in his eyes.

"Since you're here, let's go in and have a look!" The thought in his heart turned, and Xia Yan raised his feet and walked into the market.

"Hey, Lao Li, why is the meat I bought yesterday not fresh?

As soon as Xia Yan walked into the Fang City area, he heard a loud voice shouting beside him.

Looking over, Xia Yan saw that it was a bearded man who was grinning at a butcher shop.

In the city, there are all kinds of grocery vegetable stalls and butchers, as long as you can make a living, you can see it here. Fang Market, in fact, is a big bazaar. However, this is a bazaar occupied by family forces, and outsiders need to get the consent of this family if they want to enter.

"Ahh

It seems that these two have known each other for many years, and this old Zhang should often come here to buy meat.

"yes? I don't think it's new anyway. Forget it, I'm going to buy some fabric for the ladies at home, and I'm clamoring all day to buy me new clothes, and I'll go first!"

"Haha, you're really good to that of yours, see you then. Lao Li laughed!

Xia Yan was on the side, and he also shook his head and chuckled.

In fact, there is a lot of fun in a civilian life like this, and there is no need to worry about many things. However, they will never be able to appreciate the glory of the strong!

They can only look up to those who are strong.

For example, if a strong person from the Spirit Master Realm suddenly came to this market, then I am afraid that there will be a shock soon, and both cultivators and civilians will definitely rush forward to look up and be amazed. Who doesn't envy the truly strong people? But only a small number of people can become truly strong people! This small number of people have most of the resources of the entire continent!

"Huh?"

In a teahouse a hundred meters away, a guard wearing the clothes of the Xi family changed his eyes. A sharp light burst out of his eyes.

He had just inadvertently looked outside and saw a familiar face.

Of course, he is the captain of the guard of Xijiafang City, so naturally he often sees familiar faces in Fang City. But this face shook his heart, and his whole body trembled.

"This person, why is he so much like that kid from the Xia family?" the head of the guard of Fang City, his brows furrowed.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" a guard next to him looked at the chief of the guard in confusion, and said in surprise.

The chief of the guard pointed outside and said, "Look!"

The guard followed the gesture of the chief of the guard and looked outside, only to see a young man in a green shirt standing there, looking at the pedestrians and the shops on both sides.

"Who is he?" The guard had never seen Xia Yan. And the captain of the guard had seen Xia Yan in the competition for places not long ago, so he knew him.

The head of the guard was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this guard had never seen Xia Yan, and then said in a deep voice: "He is the Xia Yan of the Xi family, who is in the limelight, recently, I heard that he was recently selected as a candidate for the head of the Xia family! Even the Council of Elders has passed." In the future, he will probably be the head of the Xia family!"

"Huh?" the guard was taken aback, "is he that Xia Yan?"

"Well, don't alarm him, see what he's going to do!" the chief of the guard nodded and said coldly.

................................................ "Patriarch!"

Inside the courtyard of the Xia family's mansion!

In the small courtyard where Xia Feilong lived, Xia Feilong had just had lunch and was talking to Xia Zixin about some cultivation matters when he heard a guard shouting outside.

"Come in!" Xia Feilong said outside the courtyard gate.

The guard listened, stepped into the door, and walked in with a flash of his body.

This guard is on duty at the main gate of the Xia family today.

"What's the matter?" Xia Feilong asked, looking at the guard.

"Just now, Miss Yafen from the Extreme Challenge Venue sent someone to deliver a letter!" the guard bowed his head and bowed.

Xia Zixin next to her eyebrows rolled and listened curiously.

"Oh, the Extreme Challenge Venue?" Xia Feilong couldn't help but pause, the Extreme Challenge Venue generally does not have contact with the family forces alone. Last time in the competition for places, Yafen made an exception to sit on the seat of the Xia family, which was already very surprising. Now, he even sent someone to deliver a letter, what does this Yafen want to do?

"This letter is for Young Master Xia Yan!" the guard continued with an expressionless face.

"For Xia Yan?" Xia Feilong's eyes flashed, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Xia Zixin was even more puzzled, and her willow eyebrows frowned.

"Yes, but when I sent the letter just now, Young Master Xia Yan was not in the mansion at the moment, so I had to send the letter to the patriarch!" As the guard spoke, he took out a golden letter from his coat pocket, took two steps forward, and handed it to Xia Feilong.

Xia Feilong took the letter and looked at it.

"It's indeed a letter from the Extreme Challenge Venue, well, you go down first!" Xia Feilong nodded to the guard.

"Yes, Patriarch!" the guard said respectfully, and took three steps back before turning and leaving the courtyard.

"Father, why is Yafen looking for Xia Yan at the Extreme Challenge Venue?" Xia Zixin couldn't help but ask as soon as the guard left.

The people of the Xia family didn't know that Xia Yan was Lingluo, so they naturally didn't know that Xia Yan had anything to do with the Extreme Challenge venue. Yafen suddenly sent a letter to Xia Yan, no wonder they were puzzled.

"This ......" Xia Feilong shook his head, "I don't know, perhaps, Xia Yan and Miss Na Yafen know each other!"

Xia Feilong smiled.

Xia Zixin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "How could Xia Yan know her?" Xia Yan is only fifteen years old, and that Yafen is more than twenty years old, right?"

Xia Feilong waved his hand and said, "What does it matter? Na Yafen is not an ordinary woman, in the extreme challenge venue, her status is second only to Li Tianlun. Moreover, in terms of appearance, there are few people in the entire Yushui City who can match it. If Xia Yan can ...... with her Hehe......"

The implication is already clear.

If Xia Yan can get together with Yafen, then the relationship between the Xia family and the Extreme Challenge Venue will be further deepened. At that time, even at the Templar Meeting, Li Tianlun, who is a deacon of the Templar, will not speak for the Xia family?

"But ......" Xia Zixinqiong's nose wrinkled.

"When Xia Yan comes back, let's ask again! This kid, when did you meet Yafen? We don't know. Xia Feilong said with a smile as he looked at the golden letter.

............................................................ Xia Yan took a turn around the Fang Market in the South District, and asked about the prices of various commodities in front of some shops, which was not much different from the Xia family's Fang Market.

Xia Yan didn't want to make trouble when he came here, so of course he wouldn't deliberately find fault.

The guards just followed from a distance.

"Big brother, this guy killed Young Master Xi Qiushui, if we can take him down, the patriarch will definitely be happy, then we have made a great achievement!" a guard, his eyes flashing with excitement, whispered in the guard's ear.

The head of the guard glared, and slapped the guard's head directly, "You are a pig's head! You don't want to think about it, this Xia Yan dares to come to Xijiafang City alone, can he not rely on it? With our strength, we also want to take him down? Hmph, you have never seen his strength! He has already opened up one hundred and eight martial arts meridians!"

The guard was slapped in the face, a little aggrieved.

After a pause, the chief of the guard said again: "Even if we can take him down by relying on the number of people, it will make a lot of noise, and when the news spreads, will the Xia family give up? You don't want to think about it, what is the identity of this Xia Yan now? The candidate patriarch of the Xia family! Hmph, if you still think about making meritorious contributions, you may lose your life when the time comes!"

Hearing this, the guard suddenly froze and touched his head.
