In the main hall, Xia Zhenming ordered someone to bring the most high-grade tea. After a few people were polite, Song Jian said to Xia Zhenming: "Patriarch Xia, don't hide it, I came here today to ask for something!"

Xia Zhenming had already guessed that Song Jian and the others should have asked for help this time. Immediately smiled: "Brother Song Jian has something to say!"

Song Jian was not polite, and said directly: "I came here this time, in fact, I am looking for a female disciple of your family. ”

"Female disciple?" Xia Zhenming asked, "Who is it?"

"Xia You!" Song Jian said.

When Song Jian said the name Xia You, Xia Zhenming was slightly stunned, and his face changed slightly, this change Song Jian didn't see, but He Qiming saw it.

"Brother Song Jian, are you looking for Xia You? But unfortunately, she is not in the sect now. Xia Zhenming looked at Song Jian with a smile.

"Not here?" Song Jian was slightly surprised, because when he was in Haotian Imperial City, he clearly knew that Xia You had returned to the Huoluan family.

"Yes, it seems that Brother Song Jian is going to run for nothing this time. Xia Zhenming said with a smile.

"Patriarch Xia, do you know where Xia You went? My boss has been looking for Sister Xia You for a long time. Squeak hurriedly asked Xia Zhenming.

He Qiming looked at Xia Zhenming, although he didn't speak, but there was a trace of strangeness in his heart.

"I'm really sorry, we don't know Xia You's whereabouts. When a family disciple goes out to practice, he doesn't need to explain to the family where he is going. Xia Zhenming explained.

Song Jian and Squeak glanced at each other, their eyes full of loss. Just when Song Jian was a little lost, he only heard He Qiming transmit the message to Song Jian.

"Little junior brother, it seems that the Xia You you are looking for is not ordinary in the Huoluan family. I just obviously saw that when you said Xia You's name, there was a trace of strangeness on Xia Zhenming's face. If I'm not mistaken, this Xia Zhenming should be lying!" He Qiming is also the sect master of a large sect, and his ability to observe words and colors is also perfect.

"What, what does Senior Brother mean, Xia You shouldn't have gone out to practice?" Song Jian was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhenming, who was seated.

"But why did he lie to me?" Song Jian asked He Qiming suspiciously.

He Qiming said: "I don't know this either. However, if you want to know if Xia You is in the clan, it must not be difficult. ”

"Senior brother, do you have a way, tell me quickly, what should I do?" Song Jian was anxious.

"Little junior brother, don't worry. I think Xia Zhenming should have guessed your intentions. So if Xia You is here, he will definitely find a way to let us leave early. He Qiming transmitted the message to Song Jian.

Song Jian thought about it and thought that what He Qiming said was very reasonable. It's just that Song Jian is very puzzled, with such an identity and status, although the Huoluan family is powerful, but because of a female disciple of the family, it stands to reason that he should not embarrass himself.

Immediately, I saw He Qiming smile at Xia Zhenming: "Brother Xia, it's okay if Xia You is not there." There's one more thing I need your help with this time. ”

Xia Zhenming looked at He Qiming when he heard this, and said, "Brother He, please speak!"

"I urgently need to refine a furnace of elixir, and I want to borrow your family's Heavenly Fire for use. It will take about 100 years. He Qiming casually found an excuse to stay.

He Qiming knew very well that the Huoluan family had a Heavenly Fire, which was very effective for refining the Heavenly Punishment Divine Pill. And that day of fire He Qiming is not the first time to borrow, that day of fire in the Xia family does not need to be used at all.

It is precisely because of this that if Xia Zhenming still intends to embarrass He Qiming, then He Qiming can be sure that Xia Youding is here and has not gone out to practice.

Song Jian also looked at Xia Zhenming, and he also wanted to know if it was as Qiming guessed, Xia Zhenming in front of him was deliberately embarrassing himself.

"Boss, what's going on?When does Sect Master He need to refine a furnace of pills?Isn't he still in a hurry to go back and deal with the rise of the Danwang Sect?" asked Song Jian in a puzzled voice.

Song Jian immediately also transmitted the sound to tell Squeak about He Qiming's guess. After hearing this, he suddenly felt angry, and he held back the anger in his heart and watched how Xia Zhenming answered He Qiming's words.

"This ...... Brother He, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the family's heavenly fire is now being used by my family's alchemist. Xia Zhenming said with an embarrassed face: "Brother He, don't come back next time." Besides, I've also heard that your Danwang Sect is busy dealing with the matter of territorial competition right now. I think Brother He should go back to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and the revival of Danwangzong is more important than anything else. ”

This Xia Zhenming's speaking skills are really not ordinary, he thinks what he said is very reasonable.

Just when Xia Zhenming politely rejected He Qiming, the anger in Song Jian's heart could no longer be controlled. He never thought that He Qiming's guess was actually true, Xia Zhenming was deliberately embarrassing Song Jian, and deceived himself that Xia You had gone out to practice.

"Patriarch Xia, we don't have to hide it. I came here this time to find Xia You, and I hope that Patriarch Xia will not embarrass the juniors!" Song Jian looked at Xia Zhenming and said word by word.

Squeak couldn't help but say, "Patriarch Xia, Sister Xia You and the boss of my family have been together since they left the Jiang Continent. Even if your Xia family has any scruples, shouldn't you say it frankly? Could it be that with my boss's current status, he will not be worthy of your Huoluan family?"

Not to mention, with Song Jian's status now. One has the support of Dan Wangzong, and the other has a squeaky bloody army. Together, these two forces will definitely not be weaker than the Huoluan family, if it weren't for the Huoluan family with the God Emperor in charge, I'm afraid it would not be able to compare with these two forces at all.

When Xia Zhenming heard this, he naturally knew that his lie had been exposed, but Song Jian and Squeak didn't say anything ugly.

Now that they all knew, Xia Zhenming also put away his smile and said directly: "Brother Song Jian is really extraordinary, yes, Xia You is in the clan." However, if you come to my Huoluan family to propose marriage, I can only say I'm sorry!"

Song Jian and Squeak's faces changed greatly, and Song Jian even stood up. He looked at Xia Zhenming with his eyes and asked, "Patriarch Xia, can you tell me the reason?"

He Qiming also frowned slightly, and although he sat there without saying a word, his face was already pale. In terms of talent potential and current status, his junior brother can fully afford the Huoluan family.

Xia Zhenming said: "Because Xia You has already been engaged!Brother Song Jian, except for Xia You, any single female disciple of my Huoluan family, you can choose at will, and our Huoluan family absolutely strongly agrees." ”

As the patriarch, Xia Zhenming no matter what happens, it is based on the interests of the family. So although he rejected Song Jian today, he didn't want to fight with Song Jian. After all, what Song Jian represented behind him was the Dan Wang Sect and the Blood Demon Army. On top of that, Song Jian's potential is also terrifying.

"Impossible!" Song Jian said categorically: "Xia You will never be engaged to someone else." ”

"Yes, it's impossible! Sister Xia You, except for the eldest of my family, will never be engaged to anyone else. Patriarch Xia, if you have any conditions, just put them forward, and we will definitely satisfy you. Squeak immediately stood up and said that Xia You was engaged, that is, to kill Squeak and Song Jian, they would never believe it.

"This ......" Xia Zhenming looked at Song Jian and Squeak, he completely saw Song Jian and Squeak's determination.

He Qiming finally spoke: "Patriarch Xia, as the patriarch of the Huoluan family, you should know very well. Once you and my Danwang Sect form a family, then the pills of your family disciples will definitely not have to worry. This Dan Wang Sect will be my junior brother sooner or later. ”

When He Qiming said this at this time, he was obviously supporting Song Jian. Tell Xia Zhenming very directly that Song Jian now represents the entire Danwang Sect.

Squeak also said: "Patriarch Xia, as long as the boss and Sister Xia You are together, then we are a family." The disciples of the Huoluan family are also our own people. They go on adventures in the four secret realms, and our Blood Demon Army will definitely take special care of them. ”

For a while, both Dan Wangzong and the Blood Demon Army expressed a very clear attitude. Although the two forces of the Dan Wang Sect and the Blood Demon Army are separated, they are not as influential as the Huoluan family, but when the two forces are combined, I am afraid that only the Luo family of the Nine Xuantian Heavens, the Zhengyun Palace of the Four Secret Realms, can overpower one of them.

At this time, Song Jian, He Qiming and Squeak all looked at Xia Zhenming. They were waiting for Xia Zhenming's attitude.

Xia Zhenming looked at the eyes of the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Song Jian, this matter is too involved, even I can't be the master." Why don't you give me some time and let's discuss. ”

Hearing this, Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Xia Zhenming was still so firm in the face of the threat of Dan Wangzong and the Blood Demon Army.

"Patriarch Xia, we can wait!But, before that, can you let me meet Xia You?" Song Jian looked at Xia Zhenming.

Xia Zhenming thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "Okay! For Brother He's sake, I can arrange for you to meet." ”

Xia Zhenming knew very well that since things had come to this point, Song Jian would definitely know the truth. Since this is the case, why don't Xia Zhenming be a favor and promise to let Song Jian meet Xia You.

"By the way, Brother He, don't you want to refine the pill, I can arrange it for you!" Xia Zhenming immediately said to He Qiming since he saw that the matter was made public. He really didn't want to put his family and Dan Wang Sect on the opposite side because of a Xia You.

The Danwang Sect almost controlled more than ninety percent of the alchemists. These alchemists can be described as the 'wet nurses' of all the gods and gods. Offending the wet nurse is equivalent to having no milk, and ordinary people are really unwilling to do this unless they have to.

He Qiming said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, Brother Xia should arrange for my junior brother to meet Xia You as soon as possible." My little junior brother is in love with your Xia Youqing, but my little junior brother has been looking for her for a long time. ”

"Okay, then I'll arrange it. Xia Zhenming said that he asked someone to arrange for He Qiming and others to go to the guest room to rest temporarily, and he also left the hall.
