Patriarch Xia Feilong frowned and looked at Xia Guqiu. As soon as the third elder Xia Changhe spoke just now, he suddenly remembered that the Xia family also had a direct descendant, Xia Yan. Although Xia Yan is the son of a demon girl, he is the son of Xia Dongsheng after all, and Xia Dongsheng has made many contributions to the Xia family.

Xia Yan's status in the Xia family is much worse than that of ordinary collateral children. Even those side children don't take Xia Yan seriously, in fact, many people in the family don't regard Xia Yan as a child of the Xia family at all. Otherwise, those servants and maids would not dare to speak harshly to Xia Yan.

Xia Changhe's words were heard clearly by everyone present, and many people also guessed who the forty-fourth person Xia Changhe was talking about was. In the crowd, there could be no help but burst of discussions.

"Hmph, Xia Dongsheng is Xia Fu's son, and Xia Fu is my own brother. Xia Dongsheng's son, Xia Yan, I regard him as his grandson, and he is not dead yet! Xia Guqiu, let me ask you, have you counted Xia Yan? There is no Xia Yan among the 42 family members present to participate in the selection, and the 43rd person you said who did not appear is Xia Junfei. Hmph, then what do you want me to do?In your eyes, is there still me, the third elder Xia Changhe?" In the end, Xia Changhe's voice suddenly raised, and he asked sharply. The heavy oppressive breath made Xia Guqiu's breath suffocating.

In fact, the reason why Xia Changhe was so angry was entirely because of Xia Guqiu's attitude, Xia Yan did not open up the body martial arts meridians, so it was obviously impossible to participate in this selection. Xia Changhe is also very clear about this. But Xia Guqiu actually ignored Xia Yan directly, which made him really angry. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Xia Yan had achieved something in cultivation, even if he had half of his father's talent, he would not be so despised by other clansmen.

Charley, a father and son, can't treat him like nothing!

Xia Guqiu couldn't help but tremble when he was questioned by Xia Changhe, he didn't expect Xia Changhe to be so angry and talk about things in the family in front of so many outsiders. Although Xia Yan's matter is not a secret in Yushui City, it ...... Speaking of this now, it is undoubtedly a joke for the Wang family, the Xi family and those celebrities!

Xia Guqiu looked at the patriarch and the great elder, his face a little embarrassed. Patriarch Xia Feilong glared at him fiercely, and seemed to blame him for being presumptuous.

"I didn't expect that the third elder Xia Changhe would defend Xia Yan so much!"

"Yes, Xia Yan...... Xia Yan is Xia Dongsheng's son after all...... I heard that Xia Yan has been cultivating for ten years, and he has not opened a single meridian until now, and he is the first waste of the famous Xia family......"

"Xia Yan's mother is a demon girl from the Dark Night Continent......"

The children of the Xia family whispered!

"Hmph!" Grand Elder Xia Lai flicked his sleeves fiercely and snorted coldly.

"Hehe, patriarch, elders. Although I, Xi Zijing, am an outsider here, I also know that Xia Yan is categorically impossible to participate in this selection of outstanding children of the Xia family. I think the selection should start now, and in a while, it will be noon!" Xi Zijing stood up and bowed to Patriarch Xia Feilong and the elders before he smiled and said slowly.

Xi Zijing is a representative sent by the Xi family.

"Exactly, exactly! That Xia Yan child, I've also heard of it. Alas, it's a pity that he can't cultivate. However, his father Xia Dongsheng was a cultivation genius, if it hadn't been for that accident in the Sin Forest, he would definitely be able to achieve the position of a spirit master in the future and strengthen the Xia family. Wang Lan also stood up and said, I don't know if he was rejoicing or gloating, anyway, he couldn't really hope that Xia Dongsheng didn't have an accident.

Wang Lan is a representative sent by the Wang family. Seeing that the Xia family was so incompatible, the two of them were naturally secretly happy in their hearts. However, as guests, they should also come out and say a few words at the right time.

Seeing that the people of the Xi family's Wang family all spoke, and some other celebrities and celebrities in Yushui City also spoke one after another.

Xia Zixin, who was standing in a cyan long skirt among the forty-two direct descendants of the Xia family, had a gloomy face, frowned, and couldn't calm down in her heart for a long time. She can never forget the brother-sister relationship with Xia Yan when she was a child, it was an innocent and happy memory. Seeing that the clansmen were so indifferent to Xia Yan, Xia Zixin was also extremely sad in her heart, but although she was the daughter of the patriarch, she couldn't change anything.

She is a daughter, if she hadn't decided a long time ago that she would not leave the Xia family for the rest of her life, she would not have been able to enter the Xia family's martial arts hall to cultivate. In other words, even if she marries in the future, she must let the other party enter the Xia family, but not marry into the other party's family.

"Alright, the selection has officially begun!" Xia Feilong's face was solemn, and his golden velvet coat shone in the sun. As soon as the celebrities and the Xi family, the Wang family and others said anything, Xia Feilong suppressed all the voices.

The thousands of family members around him also kept their mouths shut. The whole square became silent in an instant.

Great Elder Xia Lai rolled his dead fish eyes, glanced at Xia Changhe, and snorted coldly again, before sitting down in his place.

"Xia Guqiu, you go and preside over the selection of the outstanding children of the family this time!" Xia Feilong said to Xia Guqiu with an expressionless face.

Xia Guqiu hurriedly bowed down in response and quickly retreated.

The outstanding children of the family will select the strongest five people every three years, and these five people will compete again with the outstanding children of the Xi family and the Wang family after the selection within the family, because the three major families have only five places to participate in the entrance examination of the Purple Leaf Academy, so among the fifteen children of the three major families, only five people can finally participate in the entrance examination of the Purple Leaf Academy.

....................................

"Xia Yan?"

Xia Yan, who was hurrying to the square of the Xia family's house, suddenly heard someone calling him, so he naturally stopped and looked at the sound with his eyes.

"Late summer flying, the selection has begun, why are you still here?" Xia Yan was slightly stunned and asked rather unexpectedly.

At the end of Xia, among the children of the Xia family, his talent is relatively high. Moreover, Xia Mo Fei is one of the very few people in the Xia family who are good to Xia Yan, at least Xia Mo Fei has never been sarcastic about Xia Yan.

"Alas, I suddenly contracted an illness, so I can't take this test. Now, I'm heading to the square to watch them audition. Since I can't participate in person, I can't miss the opportunity to watch it!" Xia Mo Fei sighed, his face gloomy.

Xia Yan noticed that Xia Mofei's face was indeed a little pale, and his spirit seemed to be very poor. Xia Fei is also fifteen years old this year, and if he misses this selection, he will no longer have a chance to enter the entrance examination of Purple Leaf Academy.

Xia Mofei looked at Xia Yan, smiled bitterly and said, "Xia Yan, where have you been? Why did you do this?"

At this moment, Xia Yan was ragged and dilapidated. In the past, although Xia Yan often wore an ordinary green shirt full of wrinkles, he always washed it clean. At the end of the summer, when he saw Xia Yan's outfit at this time, he knew where Xia Yan must have gone, so he asked casually.

"Oh, I've been cultivating in Yushui Mountain for a while. Xia Yan didn't hide it and said directly.

Hearing Xia Yan say that he had gone to cultivate, Xia Mo Fei pursed his lips, he also knew that Xia Yan had not made any progress in his cultivation for ten years but had never given up. Xia Yan's spirit made him admire, but in his opinion, it was too stubborn.

"This selection has already begun, and I don't have time to go back and change into clean clothes, so I have to ......" Xia Yan chuckled, he knew what Xia Mo Fei meant, but he wasn't ready to explain anything.

Besides, it won't be long before some people will know that it's not wrong for me to stick to my cultivation as long as I wait for the selection. Xia Yan's eyes flashed, and he squeezed his palm excitedly. This time, all the people in the Xia family were going to be surprised!

"What, you want to participate in this selection?" Xia Mo Fei couldn't help but open his mouth wide and his eyes widened, the sickly look on his face seemed to have weakened a little, he never expected Xia Yan to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family. Xia Yan has been cultivating for ten years, and he hasn't even opened a single martial arts meridian, which is familiar to even a three-year-old child in Yushui City. But now, Xia Yan wants to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family?
