Back in Xue Mansion, Xue An's life is naturally much more comfortable than in Bai Mansion. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info now there are one hundred and eighty people in the Xue Mansion, all of whom revolve around Xue An, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are very complete.

After Granny Hua woke up, although her physical condition was getting better day by day, she was mentally getting a lot older, which made Xue An very distressed. In the past few months, although Granny Hua was lying on the bed unable to see or speak, her consciousness was clear, and she accompanied the entire Xue Mansion through this difficult time through the voice she heard. Whenever she hears bad news, she can only be anxious by herself, but she can't help at all, so she may be the one who has suffered the most from the Xue family in the past few months.

Fortunately, when she woke up, she saw that Mingyue managed the whole family in an orderly manner, so she was relieved and did not take over the position of housekeeper again. She now puts all her thoughts on Xue An, she hopes that Xue An can get married and have children as soon as possible, and can leave a descendant for the Xue family.

Xue An saw that Granny Hua was staring at him every day, although she was a little painful, she was not disgusted. Granny Hua is like an anxious grandmother who wants to be in the same house for four generations earlier, but she doesn't dare to push her little grandson too much, so she has to be silently anxious on the side.

These days, there have been many cousins and cousins at home who "accidentally" entered Xue An's room when Xue An was taking a bath and sleeping. Xue An knew that Mother-in-law Hua was indispensable behind this, otherwise these cousins and cousins who only dared to bow their heads and admit their mistakes after being found would not have the courage to violate the family rules to do these things.

Of course, this is also because the atmosphere at home is much more relaxed than the previous days. The big bag of blood jade that Old Man Bai gave to Xue An was more than 1,000 pieces, and the old man of the knife secretly used some covert means to exchange some of the large amount of soul jade in Xue Mansion into blood jade, so that the Xue family quickly scraped together enough to repay the debts of the big families in the city lord's lineage.

The remaining debts are only on a few big families in the Gu family, although they were bought by the city lord's line with big interests and did not help the Xue family in times of crisis, but the Xue family is an important part of the Gu family's line after all, even if the alliance of the Gu family is loose, they will not take advantage of the fire to rob the Xue family at this time.

In other words, the crisis caused by the Xue family's debts is over, and there is some surplus blood jade left in the family, which can be used to mature the rations for a short time.

Xue An understood that since the city lord was intent on dealing with the Xue family, he would never stop acting just because he had less debts. Therefore, even in the Xue family, which was almost gentle, Xue An did not dare to relax his requirements for himself, and studied the technique of trapping every day according to the plan given to him by Old Man Bai, and at the same time did not forget to cultivate this soul bone Baizhen diligently.

But Xue An felt that it was still not a good way to go on like this, he was cultivating at home these days, although he had the blessing of the ancestors and thus entered the realm quickly, whether it was soul power or internal qi, it was still much stronger, but this still could not necessarily be transformed into his ability to survive on the wasteland, what he needed now was more experience in facing fierce beasts.

So he went to find the old man again.

The old man was still sitting on the stone chair in front of the door of his hut, holding a pen and writing something on a piece of paper.

When he saw Xue An coming to him, he knew that he must be looking for something, so he put down his pen and stood up on crutches:

"Little Master, what are you looking for me?"

"I want to get out of town. "Xue An cuts to the topic" It's just that I think it's not appropriate for me to go out of the city alone, so it's safer to go out of the city with others. The City Lord's line is now trying to deal with our Xue family, so I don't know who will be safer to find and not be affected by the City Lord's family. ”

Exploring the wasteland in a squad of two to six people is the best way to explore the wasteland after 600 years of experience. The possibility of a person being attacked by a fierce beast is too great, and one less negligence may be irreparable. And if there are too many people, the target is too large and easy to be discovered by the beast, after all, the goal of the jade picker is not to fight the beast, but to avoid the beast to collect blood jade.

Xue An is now the most vulnerable point of the Xue family, because as long as something happens to him, the Xue family will naturally collapse. He was afraid that if he didn't choose his teammates well, he would be easily taken advantage of by the people of the city lord's lineage, so he came to seek the advice of the old man of the knife.

"I also agree that you are exercising more in the wasteland now. When you went to the Bai family to learn art, I agreed with you to come back within half a year, I was afraid that you would miss the time, but I didn't expect you to come back early in a month, just so you can prepare more.

As for the jade pickers you mentioned, I suggest that you don't choose anyone from a big family, because even someone from the Gu family's lineage may be bought by someone from the city lord's lineage. I suggest you go to the Freemasons in the slums and find a team of fellow jade pickers, they are the least likely ones to make a deal with the Lord of Drifting Snow. Moreover, building a good relationship with them will also be good for that action in a month from now. ”

"The action after a month, I heard you quarrel with the old man Bai Changgeng outside the door last time because of this, what kind of action is it? "Xue An is also very sorry for his life, this is obviously an extremely dangerous thing.

When the old man heard Xue An mention the old man Bai Changgeng, he smiled heartily:

"Speaking of this, you really have a lot of face for your grandfather, although Bai Changgeng was as famous as your grandfather back then, he has never been convinced by your grandfather, but it is not good for you to make him like it. His attitude towards you is obviously like a grandson. If it weren't for your love for him this time, he would never have used his wealth to help the Xue family, let alone directly confront the Xue family and the Drifting Snow City Lord.

He quarreled with me because he wanted you to participate in the selection of the pilgrimage group in a month's time, and at the most important time to join the pilgrimage group that would leave in two months. He thinks it's too dangerous, and he wants you to save your life to avenge the sky-gazing beast for him, so he quarreled with me. ”

"Why do you want to join the pilgrimage group?" Xue An was a little puzzled, this pilgrimage was indeed extremely difficult, not to mention passing through a very dangerous place in the wilderness, just the city lord's line might intercept and kill Xue An on this way, it was already very dangerous, you must know that killing people in the wasteland is much easier than in Drifting Snow City.

The old man of the knife has his own reasons:

"The rules of Drifting Snow City for 600 years, this annual pilgrimage is a major event, and a group of very good people in the city must be selected to do it. In order to allow those who have the ability to participate, the rewards will naturally be given very high, not to mention blood jade, food and the like, but also a series of protection, by the most qualified old priest in the city to pray to the true god in person, to bless the family of the participants for a year, that is, because of this, there are too many people who want to participate in the pilgrimage, so a selection needs to be carried out a month in advance.

In other words, as long as you can participate in this pilgrimage, then the Xue family will have at least a year of stability. No matter how domineering the Drifting Snow City Lord was, he wouldn't dare to break this rule.

What's more, although the Xue family is in decline, not everyone can bully it! Since he Drifting Snow City Lord dares to bet on the Xue family, he should suffer the corresponding consequences.

The Xue family was the top nobles of the empire six hundred years ago, could it be that there will only be a vein of Drifting Snow City that has been passed down to this day?"

Xue An was dumbfounded, it turned out that the old man Dao was thinking of taking the opportunity of the pilgrimage to ask Xue An to ask for help from the distant relatives of the Xue family who lived in the other twelve cities.
