Chapter 4 Performing Martial Arts
A feeling of disappointment slowly rose in Xia Yan's heart. Xia Zixin, sure enough, is no longer the Xia Zixin of the past.
"Brother, can you teach me how to climb trees?" Xia Yan's mind recalled a long time ago, Xia Zixin dragged his clothes, and his immature little face was full of pleading, and he sighed in his heart.
"Xia Zixin, Xia Zixin, do you really look down on me so much? You are the same as them, thinking that I will always be a waste? a waste that everyone in the Xia family does not want to see? A waste that everyone looks down on? Haha, no, I, Xia Yan, will become the master of the Holy Hall and control the entire Jade Water City!"
He raised his head suddenly, his face was proud, and his spine was straight. Then, Xia Yan strode into the spacious Xia Family Martial Arts Hall.
The Yanwu Hall is very large, twice as large as the Council Hall. After Xia Yan entered, he saw that in the martial arts hall, more than a dozen outstanding juniors were practicing with some weapons.
Soon, everyone also saw Xia Yan who suddenly appeared. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Yan at once. Because, they had never seen Xia Yan in this place. In their subconscious, Xia Yan shouldn't have appeared in this place at all.
Xia Guqiu also saw Xia Yan! Xia Guqiu is the son of the Great Elder Xia Lai. Xia Yan heard the third grandfather Xia Changhe say that Xia Guqiu and Xia Yan's father used to be the two most outstanding disciples of the Xia family, because the two were of the same age and the same generation, they would inevitably have the desire to be competitive. Later, during the competition between the two, Xia Guqiu went crazy and seemed to want to kill Xia Yan's father, Xia Dongsheng, but the result was that Xia Guqiu's left arm was abolished.
Since then, Xia Guqiu's father and son have had a great estrangement from Xia Yan's father, and they are even close to enemies.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Guqiu saw Xia Yan, and immediately lowered his face, and shouted with iron blue.
Xia Yan glanced at Xia Guqiu and said, "I want to come to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts!"
There was silence!
After a few breaths, "hahahaha......"
Xia Guqiu was the first to laugh, and the other children of Xia Yan's generation also laughed along. Their expressions were the biggest mockery of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan's body trembled violently, but soon, he suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that the angrier he was, the happier others would be. He has to pretend that he doesn't care at all, so that these people can't see the results they want to see.
Sure enough, seeing Xia Yan's indifferent look, Xia Guqiu and the others stopped laughing.
"Xia Yan, do you know that you are not qualified to enter the Yanwu Hall?" Xia Guqiu raised his eyes, glanced at Xia Yan contemptuously, and said bluntly.
Xia Yan said: "I will work hard to cultivate. ”
"Xia Yan, how many of your one hundred and eight scriptures have been opened?" Xia Guqiu didn't speak, but another young Xia family disciple looked at Xia Yan with a sarcastic expression. This person is recognized as one of the strongest people in the younger generation of the Xia family, called Xia Liu.
Everyone in the Xia family knew that Xia Yan had been cultivating for ten years, and he hadn't even opened a single meridian! Xia Liu asked this to embarrass Xia Yan.
No matter how bad a person is, after ten years of cultivation, it is impossible for not a single meridian to be opened. Therefore, Xia Yan is actually a recognized waste of the Xia family.
"A waste who can't even get through a single meridian still wants to enter the Yanwu Hall to cultivate?hahaha......" Xia Liu saw that Xia Yan was silent and didn't speak, so he continued.
Xia Yan's face was expressionless, and he didn't get angry because of this. Before coming, Xia Yan was ready to be teased and ridiculed by these people. As long as he can enter the Yanwu Hall to cultivate, he doesn't care about being ridiculed every day. As long as they have enough strength, these people will obediently shut their mouths sooner or later.
"Maybe I'll get through one hundred and eight before you!" Xia Yan's voice was not loud, but it made the laughter of everyone who was originally laughing stop abruptly. Everyone looked at Xia Yan with some astonishment!
This Xia Yan really has a problem with his brain, right?
"Before you say big things, you should at least open up a meridian, right? Xia Yan, don't say any more, you need the consent of the patriarch to enter the Yanwu Hall. I think that with your ability, the patriarch will not agree, you better get out of here quickly, don't delay our study and drill. Xia Guqiu's eyes swept Xia Yan coldly, and he waved his hand casually as if he was impatient, as if he was sending a flower child on the street.
"Get out of here!waste!" Xia Liu said contemptuously, raising the long sword in his hand, "Do you know how many meridians I have opened? Hehe, let me tell you, I have opened eighty-seven martial arts meridians." Waste, do you think you, a waste who hasn't even opened a single meridian, can learn martial arts? Dream on, martial arts require internal force to exert their power. ”
As Xia Liu spoke, the long sword in his hand shook out a few sharp sword flowers, as if he was about to stab Xia Yan.
"Xia Yan!"
Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind, Xia Yan heard the voice, and knew that it was the third grandfather Xia Changhe who came. turned around and looked, sure enough, it was Xia Changhe.
Seeing the three elders, Xia Liu hurriedly put away his long sword, revealing a respectful demeanor. No matter how arrogant he was, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the elders.
Xia Changhe glanced at everyone in the Yanwu Hall, and then said to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, you come with me!"
Xia Yan frowned, and said in his heart, the third grandfather seems to have something to say to me? Yesterday, the third grandfather said that the Great Elder would help him speak at today's elders' meeting, but it was obvious that the Great Elder not only did not help him speak, but also said something against it.
When Xia Changhe left with Xia Yan, the children of the Xia family in Yanwutang showed their disdainful gaze again.
"Hmph, after ten years of cultivation, I haven't even opened a single meridian. Even if you cultivate for another hundred years, it will be difficult to make any progress. Xia Liu said contemptuously.
"Hehe, if the waste can open up the meridians, I will kowtow to him three times in front of everyone in the Xia family! When I meet him again in the future, I will bow my head and avoid it!" Another young disciple flicked the single knife in his hand, looked at the few people around him and laughed mockingly.
In the Xia family, it seems that everyone looks down on Xia Yan! And Xia Yan is known by everyone. Because, Xia Yan's father, Xia Dongsheng, used to be the best son of the Xia family, and Xia Yan's mother was a demon girl in the Dark Night Continent! These two factors are destined to have a deep impression in the minds of all Xia family members.
Following behind Xia Changhe, Xia Yan left the Yanwu Hall and walked towards the backyard of the Xia family.
After walking for a full cup of tea, Xia Yan and Xia Changhe returned to Xia Yan's humble residence.
Xia Changhe sighed deeply, and then looked at Xia Yan with a straight face, his eyes flashing a few times.
"Xia Yan, don't mention the matter of your mother's spiritual position in the future. Xia Yan, as long as you live well, your mother will definitely feel gratified. Xia Changhe said with a rather disappointed expression, and only in front of Xia Yan would he show such a look.
Xia Yan knew that Xia Changhe had done his best for this matter.
"By the way, I have a ring here to give it to you!" Xia Changhe suddenly breathed, poked into the placket with one hand, took out a black ring, and handed it to Xia Yan, the surface of this ring was as black as ink, and he couldn't see what material it was.
Xia Changhe took out the ring, but his expression was extremely solemn, Xia Yan said in his heart, is this ring something precious?
"Xia Yan, do you know how many years our Xia family has existed in the Dragon Continent?" Xia Changhe suddenly looked at the purple tung flower outside with some gloom and asked.
Xia Yan is of course clear about the history of the Xia family, and now he said: "Our Xia family has existed for more than four hundred years!"
Some books of the Xia family have historical information about the Xia family, and Xia Yan is familiar with these books, of course he understands.
However, to Xia Yan's surprise, Xia Changhe shook his head and looked at Xia Yan with a wry smile.
"Actually, our Xia family has existed on the Dragon Continent for more than four thousand years!" Xia Changhe took a deep breath.
"Huh?" Xia Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
No matter how calm his surname is, he can't help but exclaim at this time.
