Through the guard's simple description, which was not detailed, Xia Yan already had a general understanding of the current situation of the Zhang family in his heart. The Zhang family and the Hong family have been grudges for thousands of years, but there was not much difference in strength between the two sides before, so no one could destroy anyone. Recently, the Hong family has climbed the more powerful Tan family, the Tan family is obviously extremely powerful, so after getting the support of the Tan family, the Hong family began to act against the Zhang family, and now even the ancestor of the Zhang family's Heavenly God Realm has been killed, so the Hong family naturally has no difficulty in dealing with the juniors below the Zhang family.

"I don't know...... What is the strength of that Hong family!" Xia Yan said secretly in his heart, and then his brows furrowed, "The Hong family alone is about the same strength as the Zhang family, so it must be a cultivator with a Heavenly God Realm, and the strength of this Heavenly God must not be very strong." The Hong family and the Zhang family should have only established a family for tens of thousands of years, compared to those ancient families that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years, the Hong family and the Zhang family are both newly established families, and the heritage is inevitably not very rich. It's just that the Tan family ......"

Xia Yan's eyes immediately froze again, the thoughts in his mind turned one after another, and finally decided to intervene in this matter, with his current status in the Star Dou Palace, could he still be afraid of the Tan family? Besides, even if the Tan family is really very large, could it really be that the Hong family will really offend the Star Dou Palace?

"Since that's the case, then I'm going to see Zhang Qingquan even more, and I ask you to let me know!" Xia Yan's expression turned serious, and he said firmly to several guards.

Seeing Xia Yan's resolute posture, these guards couldn't help but glance at each other again.

"Okay then, I'll report to the patriarch now, you can wait here for a while!" The guard of the fourth-level Spirit Emperor Early Realm said to Xia Yan, and then turned around and walked quickly into the mansion.

In the spacious living room in the courtyard, many children of the Zhang family were gathered here by the patriarch Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan had already made the family's situation clear just now, and gave them two choices, one was to leave the Zhang family on their own, and the other was to stay in the Zhang family and live and die with the Zhang family. No matter which path the children of the Zhang family choose, Zhang Shan will not be reluctant.

In the huge living room, there was silence at this time!

"Patriarch!"

At this moment, a small voice sounded outside the room, which seemed to break the deathly silence in the living room. Many of the children of the Zhang family exhaled softly. The patriarch gave them two choices, and these two choices really made them not know how to decide. Staying may be a dead end, but leaving, you may not be able to survive. Without the protection of the Zhang family, most of them would probably not be able to adapt to the strong and the weak outside Star Dou City.

"Huh?" Zhang Shan frowned again when he heard the shouts outside, "Come in and talk." ”

"A cultivator from the Star Dou Hall came outside, claiming to be a friend of Miss, saying that he wanted to see Miss. "This guard is the one who was just outside the courtyard gate in the early stage realm of the fourth-level Spirit Emperor.

"Oh, a cultivator of the Star Dou Palace?" Zhang Shan repeated in a low voice with some surprise, "But now, it is the time of my Zhang family's life and death, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain him, you go and tell him, just say that the Zhang family is inconvenient at this time, I'm afraid I can't entertain thoroughly, please let him go!"

"Yes, Patriarch!" the guard replied outside, turning to exit the parlor.

"Wait!" Zhang Shan's gaze turned again, stopping the guard.

The guard naturally raised his head, glanced at the patriarch Zhang Shan, and waited for the order.

"You'd better invite him in!" Zhang Shan groaned slightly, and then changed his mind and instructed the guard.

"Since he is a cultivator of the Star Dou Hall and a friend of Zhang Qingquan, it is good for him to bring Qingquan back to the Star Dou Palace. Qingquan is a cultivator of the Star Dou Palace, as long as he cultivates in the Star Dou Palace, the Hong family will definitely not dare to go to the Star Dou Hall to find Qingquan. Zhang Shan's mind swirled, and the guard had already retreated.

And all the children of the Zhang family, as well as Xu Youliang of the Xu family, didn't say anything, and now they don't have the heart to ask more. Zhang Qingquan was just an ordinary cultivator in the Star Dou Palace, and her friend was probably an ordinary cultivator in the Star Dou Palace, so this couldn't attract everyone's attention at all.

Probably less than the tea time, Xia Yan arrived in the living room where Zhang Shan and the others were under the guidance of the guard. At this time, most of the children of the Zhang family had already left the living room, and Zhang Shan let them decide to stay for themselves.

"Patriarch, Miss's friend has arrived!" The guard brought Xia Yan into the living room and said to the patriarch Zhang Shan, Xia Yan, who was dressed in white, stood beside the guard, with only a trace of an indifferent smile on his face, which naturally swept over the faces of everyone in the room.

"Five ninth-level Spirit Emperor realms, and the rest are eighth-level Spirit Emperor realms. It seems that the strongest combat power of the Zhang family should be here. Xia Yan's consciousness emanated, which was to find out the strength of everyone in this room. The strongest strength is only the peak realm of the ninth-level Spirit Emperor.

Zhang Shan glanced at Xia Yan, then waved his hand at the fourth-level Spirit Emperor realm guard, and said, "You go to the inner courtyard and call the young lady over." ”

"Yes!" the guard replied.

"Are you Qingquan's friend?" Zhang Shan looked at Xia Yan and asked naturally, but his eyes flickered. Because, he tried to find out Xia Yan's strength realm, but he couldn't perceive it. Although the cultivator of the Star Dou Hall in front of him was young, he didn't seem to be weak, and he couldn't even detect his realm. Even if he is a cultivator who has cultivated the Great Hidden Technique, if he can't detect the other party's realm, he must have at least the strength of the seventh-level or eighth-level Spirit Emperor realm.

And several other people in the Zhang family in this room, including Xu Youliang, also looked at Xia Yan with puzzled expressions. Obviously, none of them were able to detect Xia Yan's realm, their consciousness emanated, and all they sensed was a haze.

"Yes, cultivator Zhang Qingquan and I are cultivators who passed the assessment of the Star Dou Hall at the same time and joined the Star Dou Hall more than a hundred years ago. Xia Yan nodded, chuckled and said to Zhang Shan.

He and Zhang Qingquan were indeed cultivators who joined the Star Dou Hall in the same batch.

"Oh, I see. I've already asked Qingquan to come over, you wait a moment, she should come right away. Zhang Shan nodded, nodded slightly disappointed and said to Xia Yan.

Since he joined the Star Dou Hall with Zhang Qingquan, it has only been more than a hundred years. For more than a hundred years, no matter how hard you cultivate, it is obviously impossible to have much strength. This can't blame Zhang Shan for not having eyesight, I'm afraid anyone will have such habitual thinking. It's only been more than a hundred years, no matter how talented you are, no matter how high your talent is, it's difficult to have a high realm and how strong your strength is, after all, time is there. If you want to say that you have entered the Star Dou Palace, your strength is very strong, and your surname may be even smaller. Moreover, this young man knew at a glance that the cultivation time was not long, and with Zhang Shan's eyesight, it was easy to conclude that Xia Yan's age was only two or three hundred years old at most.

"I am Zhang Qingquan's father and the patriarch of the Zhang family. In the future, in the Star Dou Palace, please take care of Qingquan more!" Zhang Shan then said to Xia Yan, "I don't know what to call it?"

"My name is Xia Yan!" Xia Yan smiled and said, "Patriarch, please rest assured, in the Star Dou Palace, as long as I am alive, I will ensure that Zhang Qingquan will not be bullied by anyone!"

Xia Yan said confidently.

With his current reputation in the Star Dou Palace, no one who was really related to him dared to blatantly bully. Even Hongdong Mo didn't dare to directly deal with the people around Xia Yan. Especially since the battle between Xia Yan and Yan Hua, the biggest wish of the people in Hongdong may be that Xia Yan will completely forget them, or that Xia Yan suddenly died somewhere.

As soon as Xia Yan's words came out, Zhang Shan and Xu Youliang all flashed their eyes. This seems to be too much to say, right? What does it mean that as long as he is alive, Zhang Qingquan will not be bullied in any way? Even the high-ranking figures of the Star Dou Hall would not dare to say such big things, right?

The complexity of the Star Dou Palace, characters like Zhang Shan and Xu Youliang are more or less known.

However, of course, Zhang Shan would not say what he thought of Xia Yan at this time in his heart, no matter what, this young man was also well-intentioned after all. Besides, it is not entirely bad for young people to speak arrogantly, and after a few real tribulations, they will really grow and mature.

"It turned out to be Xia Yan cultivator, Xia Yan cultivator, please sit down!"

Zhang Shan stretched out his hand to Xia Yan and gestured to the seat next to him, and smiled at Xia Yan.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Xia Yan thanked him, then walked to the side and sat down, and didn't talk anymore, just waiting for Zhang Qingquan to come over. Regarding the reaction of Zhang Shan and the others, Xia Yan naturally saw it in his eyes, but this didn't need to be explained, he couldn't just say to them that he had a very high status in the Star Dou Hall and was concerned by the hall master and many Supreme Elders, right?

Then, the parlor became silent again. Patriarch Zhang Shan and the others did not speak again, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a while.

However, this strange atmosphere did not last long, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and everyone naturally looked out of the door.

The figure flickered, and in this living room, two graceful figures appeared, which were really Zhang Qingquan and Zhang Qingquan's mother. Zhang Qingquan heard the guard's report that it was a person from the Star Dou Hall who claimed to be her friend and arrived in the family and was talking to the patriarch in the living room, so he immediately walked over with his mother.

"Is this the friend of Qingquan?"

Zhang Qingquan's mother, Su Qi, saw Xia Yan sitting in white in the living room at a glance, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity. She had just heard Zhang Qingquan say a lot about her friend Xia Yan, and she also knew that Xia Yan was a cultivator of the Nine Heavens of the Star Dou Palace, and his identity was very noble.

"Sure enough, it's the same as Qingquan!" Su Qi bowed slightly to Xia Yan, and walked towards Zhang Shan, the patriarch of the Zhang family.
