Chapter 198: Turmoil in the Council Chamber (1)
Lin Yi was practicing cross-legged in the room when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Lin Yi, are you there?" Xia Jingqiu's voice came.
Lin Yi stopped cultivating, got up and walked out of the room, came to the door, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xia Jingqiu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yi's arm, and walked out.
"What's wrong?" Sister Jingqiu," Lin Yi asked puzzled.
"The head of the house is back, tell everyone to gather in the council chamber, there is something important to announce! We are about to be late, the head of the house does not like people who are late!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After all, a foreign surname is still a foreign surname, except for those who care about themselves, they take themselves to heart, but the rest of the people don't take themselves in their eyes at all!
Xia Jingqiu, who was walking in front, felt Lin Yi's strangeness, couldn't help but stop, turned around, looked at Lin Yi, and asked, "Didn't anyone inform you?"
Lin Yi smiled faintly and did not answer.
Looking at Lin Yi's expression, Xia Jingqiu already knew the answer, her hands were slammed on her hips, and she muttered angrily: "Okay! These people are too disagreeable, see if I can't clean them up!"
Then, he took Lin Yi's hand again and ran forward quickly, and an eager voice came, "Hurry up, we're about to be late!"
Lin Yi quickly kept up with the pace, quickly walked through the pavilion and corridor, and came to the Xia family's meeting hall.
In the hall, many young talents of the Xia family stood there in a proper manner, and no one dared to say much. The few old men sitting in the front row were like several elders of the Xia family, and Xia Mu sat majestically on the top seat, closing his eyes and stretching.
Xia Jingqiu turned to Lin Yi, "Shh!", and then pulled Lin Yi quietly into the hall and leaned forward slowly.
The appearance of Xia Jingqiu and Lin Yi attracted the attention of these young talents, and the young talents who passed by, looking at Xia Jingqiu and Lin Yi, some smiled and nodded to say hello, some frowned slightly, turned their heads and ignored them, and some stared at Lin Yi slightly angrily, as if they were going to eat Lin Yi.
Especially the 19 children of the Xia family who had participated in the trial, looked at Lin Yi respectfully, Xia Changfeng was expressionless, looked at Lin Yi and nodded heavily, Lin Yi also nodded in response.
Lin Yi didn't care about other people's reactions, and felt that he was following Xia Jingqiu.
Of course, the Xia family elders at the front also noticed the situation in the field, and their faces had different expressions, but they didn't dare to speak at this time.
Just after Xia Jingqiu and Lin Yi came to the front of the team and stood still, the head of the Xia Mu family opened his eyes, and a sense of majesty swept away, looking at everyone with awe-inspiring eyes, and said, "It's all here, right?"
Xia Jingqiu ran her hands up and down her chest, panting and muttering to herself: "It's finally here, otherwise you'll die!"
In this incomparably silent hall, Xia Jingqiu's words undoubtedly threw a stone on the calm water, and everyone stared at Xia Jingqiu.
"Jingqiu, what are you talking about?" asked Elder Natsuki.
Xia Jingqiu's face was full of embarrassment, and she hurriedly responded, "Family master, I said it's time to arrive!"
"It's here that shouldn't have arrived!" a strange voice sounded.
"Hmph!" Xia Qiudong angrily took it up and asked, "Xia Laoba, who do you say shouldn't come?"
"I didn't say anything about you!"
Xia Qiudong pointed at Elder Xia Ba with his left hand, "Let me tell you, Xia Laoba, what is coming at me, where is the yin and yang weird!"
Xia Mu looked at the two of them and yelled: "That's enough, you two are elders, and you are not afraid of losing face in front of so many juniors making trouble here." ”
Seeing that the head of the family spoke, Xia Qiudong did not continue to entangle, looked at Elder Xia Ba provocatively, "hummed", sat in his place, and the spiritual power rumors passed, "Xia Laoba, don't play those shady things, what tricks do you have, just try it, I will take it in Xia Qiudong!"
Xia Ba received the transmission from Xia Qiudong, turned his head not to look at Xia Qiudong, and scolded in his heart: Crazy woman, sooner or later, I will let you get out of this Xia family.
Lin Yi looked at Xia Qiudong gratefully, in what he said just now, he also knew that Elder Xia Ba was talking about himself, but Xia Qiudong went back directly, if it wasn't for Xia Qiudong and Xia Jingqiu, he might have been swept away by the Xia family a long time ago.
"The main reason for calling you here today is that there is an important thing to announce. Elder Xia Mu picked up the tea bowl at hand, picked up the saucer with his left hand, dragged the lid up, then pinched the tea lid with his right hand, gently scraped the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea soup, and then pinched the tea lid with his right hand to tilt, and then brought the tea cup to his mouth, and slowly sucked the tea soup into his mouth.
"Big brother, what is the important matter, you don't say it for a long time, but I'm in a hurry!" Elder Xia Wu's eager voice sounded.
"Yes, big brother, what's the matter?"
The juniors standing below are also whispering, guessing what is important.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Xia Mu elegantly put down the tea bowl, cleared his throat, and a vicissitudes of life came one after another.
It turned out that the envoy of Changyue Palace came to the Xia family in the early stage to make the Xia family ready, and after a month, Changyue Palace began to recruit disciples.
"Ah!!What's going on, isn't there still one year left before the time to accept the apprentice?"
"Yes, why is the Changyue Palace in advance?"
........
Just when everyone was talking, Xia Mu coughed, and all the voices of discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at Xia Mu, waiting for his explanation.
"When I first heard the news, I had the same reaction as everyone else, and I asked the messenger?"
"What do you say?" said the anxious Xia Wu again.
Xia Mu knew Xia Wu's temperament very well, and didn't care about Xia Wu's unreasonable behavior at all, stood up, and put his hands behind his back, "I inquired, and all the major sects are spreading the news of recruiting disciples in advance. ”
"Ahh......h
Xia Jingqiu stretched out her hand and pulled Lin Yi's sleeve and asked, "Brother Lin Yi, are you going to participate in the apprenticeship test of Changyue Palace?"
"Changyue Palace...."Lin Yi muttered a sentence in his mouth, and the voice of the beautiful senior sister when he left came to mind, "Hmph! I don't want to see you, let's go!"
Xia Jingqiu looked at Lin Yi who was distracted, and pinched Lin Yi's waist hard.
"Oh!" a pig-killing howl suddenly appeared in the hall, startling Xia Jingqiu to quickly withdraw her slender hand.
All the people stared at Lin Yi, some were puzzled, and some were gloating. Elder Xia Mu stared at Lin Yi with a displeased expression.
Xia Ba's soft voice came out at this time, "The council hall is such an important place, how can it be a place where you can do whatever you want, come here, drag me out, and the rod will be punished eighty!"
"Elder Xia Ba is so majestic! The head of the family didn't say anything, but you directly issued an order, can there be rules and family laws?" Xia Qiudong looked at Xia Ba coldly, "Or do you not take the head of the family in your eyes at all!"
As soon as Xia Qiudong's last sentence came out, Xia Ba was cold, got up quickly, bowed down and said to Xia Mu: "Family master, Xia Ba has no such intention, and he has always been the only family master." It's just that someone doesn't follow the rules, and I want to maintain the majesty of the head of the family, so I speak out in a hurry. ”
"In such a hurry, when did you worship Elder Xia Wu as a teacher?" Xia Qiudong asked.
"You!" Xia Hachi stood up and stared at Xia Qiudong angrily.
"Qiudong, don't make fun of me!" Xia Wu said eagerly to Xia Qiudong
Xia Mu's majestic voice sounded again, "Enough!
The three of them sat down in their places again, and said no more.
Xia Mu's gaze swept over the three of them, "snorted", and turned to look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi felt that the situation was not good, so he quickly walked out of the crowd, came to the front of the team, and bowed down respectfully to Xia Mu and said, "Family Master, does Changyue Palace only accept female disciples, we are all men, what should we do?"
