"Father?"

At dawn, Xia Xiao had already gotten up, earlier than usual, he was about to start today's cultivation, but he was a little surprised to see his father with dark circles under his eyes, this was a night without sleeping?

Xia Jinghong snorted and muttered.

"I've got insomnia, I haven't slept all night, I'm here to wake you up. ”

"It's still early, let's go back and lie down. ”

"Okay, you cultivate well!"

Xia Jinghong said, walked through the corridor, and turned back to the room.

"Xiao Er has already gotten up, her spirit is good, don't worry. ”

Xiao Rong was afraid that Xia Xiao would also worry about these things, and she couldn't sleep like herself, so she asked Xia Jinghong to take a look. However, she thought too much, Xia Xiao had a lot of worries, but she went to bed on time every day, otherwise it would affect her cultivation the next day.

"Let's squint for a while, it's useless to go to Yang Zhen now, it's too early!"

"Uh-huh. ”

Lying in Xia Jinghong's arms, the husband and wife took a nap. But in the morning, when Xia Jinghong was about to go out, Xiao Liu came.

Xiao Liu and the Xia family are familiar with each other, holding a wooden box today, sweating profusely, but there is a joy on his face that is difficult to hide.

"This was given by Lord Jin Qi, saying that he hoped that Young Master Xia Xiao would cultivate well and not worry about material problems. ”

When I opened the wooden box, it was full of silver. Good guy, this is at least a hundred taels, that guy is really generous. But this favor, he didn't want to accept it! Xia Jinghong would rather owe Yang Zhen a favor than have a relationship with the Jin family.

The people in the dynasty are all the same, they are loyal and honest on the surface, they have no quarrel with the world, but in fact they are treacherous and cunning, and they all want to do the biggest thing with the least force, just like the Jin family at this time! To them, what is a hundred taels of silver? A hundred taels of gold can be handled! But for the current Xia family, it is a lot of money!

"Xiao Liu, if you take it back and give it back to them, just say we don't want it. Also, you tell the city lord that I want to visit him in the afternoon, and I hope he will take some time!"

Xiao Liu's face was embarrassed.

"General, I can do the latter sentence, bring the words, that's what I do. But this money ...... The Jin family is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it back!"

So fast? Xia Jinghong stared at him, it seems that the Jin family is determined to sell this favor. What are some sinister guys, the current hundred taels of silver, I don't know how to repay it in the future? A bowl of water when it is down is better than a thousand taels of silver at the peak.

"What else did he say?"

Xiao Liu recalled and said:

Master Jin Qi also said that the money was given by him in his own name, and it had nothing to do with the Jin family, so he apologized to Young Master Xia Xiao. ”

Xia Jinghong knew about yesterday's incident, Xia Xiao said it, but this money ...... To accept or not to collect?

"Don't embarrass you, I'll take it, you can go back!"

"Well, little farewell!"

As long as the things are delivered to the hand and the words are brought well, Xiao Liu's task is completed. He was also a small cultivator, but he didn't get to the road, only in the initial perception, but he could sense the vitality He ran faster than ordinary people, and soon disappeared around the old mansion and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

Around the box, the family sat together.

"Since you have received it, you will use it first, the favor of the Jin family, and I will pay it back in the future. ”

Xia Jinghong took out some, left half of it, and looked at Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang.

"Who of you cares about the money?"

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang pointed at each other in unison, causing everyone to laugh, so smart?

"Then I'll do it!"

Shu Shuang took the wooden box and listened to Xia Xiao say:

"As long as the money is enough, don't worry about living or anything else, just wait for the registration now!"

In order to ensure the quality and speed of the local competition, Longgang City could only send five people to Rongcheng to participate in the local competition. Xia Xiao is going to Rongcheng now, and in order not to run back and forth, he has to occupy the next position.

This family meeting was very short, but as soon as it was over, Xiao Liu came again. The young man with pigtails was embarrassed, but said:

"The city lord said that Rongcheng has begun to integrate the information of the local selection contestants, and a list of the most promising candidates can be sent tonight. ”

The Xia family looked at each other, although this was a good thing, but this successive diligence surprised them.

"I went personally in the afternoon to thank the lord of the city. ”

After Xia Jinghong finished speaking, Xiao Liu left with another puff of smoke.

"Xiao'er, you have only one task now, and that is to cultivate, don't worry about the rest. ”

Xia Xiao nodded and returned to the backyard with Shu Shuang.

"Father, I always felt that this was not a good thing. ”

Xia Wan was smart and a little worried.

Xia Jinghong understands that now Xia Xiao is valued by more and more people, and he will also be targeted by some people. Even if Xia Xiao has the status of a papal disciple, he can't suppress some outlaws, there is no shortage of people in this world who stand up to the wind and waves, after all, ignorance is fearlessness.

In the afternoon, Xia Jinghong went to the City Lord's Mansion, and Xia Xiao entered the forest in his body.

Since yesterday's sentence will fly, the forest has changed dramatically, the once warm sun has been obscured, a thin layer of dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the lightning in it made Xia Xiao look up and look up for a long time.

The light wind in the forest also became stronger, and it was difficult to breathe when it was howling.

Xia Xiao sat on the altar, looked at the lively sentence, and asked it:

"Jumang, when will I be able to use your power?

Ju Mang tilted his head and repeated repeatedly.

"No! no!"

"When was that? I felt like I could harness the power of the woodwalkers, and even have some connection to the forest, but I just didn't need it. ”

"I don't know!

Ju Mang grinned, circling around the altar, he was this lively character, but he quickly felt the sadness in Xia Xiao's heart.

Landing beside Xia Xiao, Ju Mang sat with him, his wings on his lap, like a kind of comfort.

"Soon, soon!"

Xia Xiao didn't expect that he would be comforted by the contract beast, but it was only three months, and he should be able to step into the condensation realm, but it was difficult to enter the Zun Realm, and it was good to be able to enter before the finals, but was it really possible? Even Su Huan, it took a whole year to go from the Condensation Seed to the Zun Realm, and the speed was the fastest.

It is not easy to live in any world, and when Xia Xiao saw the information of the contestants in Rongcheng, his heart gradually chilled.

"Lin Tian, seventeen years old, mid-stage ......"

"Yu Ling, seventeen years old, mid-stage ......"

"Yu Fanchen, seventeen years old, ...... in the early stage of coagulation"

"Lin Yu, sixteen years old, ...... in the early stage of coagulation"

"Li Weichun, seventeen years old, ...... in the early stage of agagulation"

......

Because it was a list ranked by strength, Xia Xiao only read one page, and the names of the five people were enough for him to worry. With his current strength, it is definitely not enough, he must practice hard, otherwise how to get a place in the local competition, and how to advance?

Everyone in the world says that there are few practitioners, but in fact, there is a wave of practitioners nowadays. After that, it is difficult for the poor family to produce a noble son, and the cultivation depends on resources, and talent can only be regarded as a part. For example, these five people are all members of the three major families in Rongcheng, they have good resources, and they can easily occupy the top list, and the people behind them almost don't have to look at it, and they can't surpass them!

Exhaling a breath, Xia Xiao continued to sit cross-legged in Shu Shuang's eyes, exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth.

It's still a little worse, we have to get stronger, we have to work harder!
