The clan leader Xia Feilong frowned and looked at Xia Guqiu. As soon as the third elder Xia Changhe spoke just now, he suddenly remembered that the Xia family also has a direct descendant Xia Yan. Although Xia Yan is the son of a witch,
After all, he is Xia Dongsheng's son, and Xia Dongsheng has made many contributions to the Xia family.
Xia Yan's status in the Xia family is much worse than that of ordinary collateral descendants. Even those collateral descendants don't take Xia Yan seriously. In fact, many people in the family don't regard Xia Yan as a member of the Xia family at all.
If not, those servants and maids would not dare to speak harshly to Xia Yan.
Everyone present could hear Xia Changhe's words clearly, and many people also guessed who the forty-fourth person Xia Changhe was talking about was. There were waves of discussion among the crowd.
"Humph, Xia Dongsheng is Xia Fu's son, and Xia Fu is my biological brother. Xia Dongsheng's son Xia Yan, I regard as my direct grandson, and he is not dead yet! Xia Guqiu, let me ask you, do you have any
Including Xia Yan? Among the forty-two family members present to participate in the selection, Xia Yan is not included, and the forty-three person you mentioned who was not present is Xia Mofei. Humph, then you regard me as
What? In your eyes, do you still have me, the third elder Xia Changhe?" At the end, Xia Changhe's voice suddenly rose and he asked sternly. The heavy and suppressed breath made Xia Guqiu's breath suffocated.
In fact, the reason why Xia Changhe is so angry is entirely because of Xia Guqiu's attitude. Xia Yan has not opened up his body's martial arts meridians, so it is obviously impossible for him to participate in this selection. Xia Changhe is also very clear about this. But Xia Guqiu unexpectedly
He directly ignored Xia Yan, which made him really angry. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Xia Yan had achieved some achievements in cultivation, even if he had half the talent of his father, he would not be so looked down upon by other tribesmen.
Xia Lai, father and son, cannot ignore him!
Xia Guqiu couldn't help but tremble when he was questioned by Xia Changhe. He didn't expect that Xia Changhe would be so angry and talk about family affairs in front of so many outsiders. Although Xia Yan's affairs were not a secret in Yushui City,
...Now that we talk about this, it is undoubtedly a joke to the Wang family, the Xi family, and those celebrities!
Xia Guqiu looked at the clan leader and the first elder, a little embarrassed on his face. The clan leader Xia Feilong glared at him fiercely, seeming to blame him for being presumptuous.
"I never expected that Third Elder Xia Changhe would defend Xia Yan so much!"
"Yes, Xia Yan... Xia Yan is Xia Dongsheng's son after all... I heard that Xia Yan has been practicing for ten years and has not yet opened a single meridian. He is famous as the number one loser of the Xia family..."
"Xia Yan's mother is a witch from the Dark Night Continent..."
The children of the Xia family whispered in low voices!
"Hmph!" Great Elder Xia Lai flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
"Haha, clan leader, fellow elders. Although I, Xi Zijing, am an outsider here, I also know that it is absolutely impossible for Xia Yan to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the Xia family. I think the selection should start now and wait a while.
, but it’s almost noon!” Xi Zijing stood up, bowed to the clan leader Xia Feilong and the elders, and then said slowly with a smile.
Xi Zijing is the representative sent by the Xi family.
"That's right, that's right! I've also heard of that Xia Yan child. Alas, it's a pity that he can't practice. However, his father Xia Dongsheng is a genius in cultivation. If it hadn't been for the one who appeared in the Sin Forest,
Unexpectedly, I will definitely achieve the position of spiritual master in the future and strengthen the Xia family." Wang Lan also stood up and said along the way, whether he was celebrating or gloating, anyway, he couldn't really hope that Xia Dongsheng didn't have an accident.
Wang Lan is the representative sent by the Wang family. Seeing the discord within the Xia family, these two people were naturally secretly happy. However, as guests, they should also stand up and say a few words at the right time.
Everyone who met the Xi family and the Wang family spoke, and other celebrities in Yushui City also spoke out.
Standing among the forty-two direct children of the Xia family, Xia Zixin, wearing a long cyan dress, her pretty face looked sad, her brows furrowed, and her heart could not calm down for a long time. She could never forget the brother-sister relationship with Xia Yan when she was a child.
Innocent and happy memories. Seeing her clan members being so indifferent to Xia Yan, Xia Zixin felt extremely sad. However, even though she was the daughter of the clan leader, she could not change anything.
She is a daughter. If she had not decided long ago that she would never leave the Xia family, she would not be able to enter the Xia family's martial arts hall to practice. In other words, even if she marries someone in the future, she must let him marry into the Xia family instead of marrying into the Xia family.
Enter the other party's home.
"Okay, the selection has officially begun!" Xia Feilong's face was solemn, and his golden velvet clothes shimmered in the sun. After a group of celebrities and the Xi family, Wang family and others spoke, Xia Feilong spoke up to suppress all the voices.
Thousands of family members all around also kept silent. The whole square suddenly became quiet.
The Great Elder Xia Lai rolled his eyes, glanced at Xia Changhe, and snorted heavily before sitting down in his seat.
"Xia Guqiu, go and preside over the selection of outstanding family members this time!" Xia Feilong said to Xia Guqiu expressionlessly.
Xia Guqiu hurriedly bowed in response and quickly stepped back.
The outstanding children of the family will select the strongest five people every three years. These five people will compete with the outstanding children of the Xi family and the Wang family again soon after the selection within the family, because the three major families are participating in the admission to Purple Leaf College.
There are only five places in the assessment, so among the fifteen children of the three major families, only five can finally take the entrance assessment of Ziye College.
…………………………
"Xia Yan?"
Xia Yan, who was rushing to the square of the Xia Family Residence, suddenly heard someone calling him, so he naturally stopped and looked over following the sound.
"Xia Mofei? The selection has already started, right? Why are you still here?" Xia Yan was slightly shocked and asked unexpectedly.
Among the children of the Xia family, Xia Mofei's talent is relatively high. Moreover, Xia Mofei is one of the very few people in the Xia family who treats Xia Yan well. At least Xia Mofei has never ridiculed Xia Yan.
"Alas, I suddenly contracted an illness, so I can't take part in this assessment. Now, I'm heading to the square to watch their selection. Since I can't participate in person, I can't miss the opportunity to watch!" Xia Mofei sighed,
His face was gloomy.
Xia Yan noticed that Xia Mofei's face was indeed a little pale, and he seemed to be in poor spirits. Xia Mofei was already fifteen years old this year. If he missed this selection, he would have no chance to enter the Ziye College's entrance examination.
Xia Mofei looked at Xia Yan, smiled bitterly and said, "Xia Yan, where have you been? Why did you do this?"
At this moment, Xia Yan's clothes were in rags and shabby. In the past, although Xia Yan often wore ordinary blue shirts full of wrinkles, they were always washed and washed. When Xia Fei saw Xia Yan's outfit at this time, he knew that Xia Yan
He must have gone somewhere, so he asked casually.
"Oh, I have been practicing in Yushui Mountain for a while." Xia Yan said directly without hiding anything.
Hearing that Xia Yan said that he was going to practice, Xia Mofei pursed his lips. He also knew that Xia Yan had made no progress in practice for ten years but never gave up. He admired Xia Yan's spirit, but in his opinion, he was too stubborn.
.
"The selection has already started. I didn't have time to go back and change into clean clothes, so I had to..." Xia Yan chuckled. He knew what Xia Mofei meant by pouting, but he was not prepared to explain anything.
Besides, it won't take long after the selection, some people will know that there is nothing wrong with me insisting on practicing. Xia Yan's eyes flashed, and he squeezed his palms excitedly. This time, everyone in the Xia family will be shocked!
"What, you want to participate in this selection?" Xia Mofei couldn't help but open his mouth and eyes wide. The sick look on his face seemed to have weakened. He never expected that Xia Yan would participate in this selection of outstanding children of the family.
Even three-year-old children in Yushui City are familiar with the fact that Yan has not opened up a single martial arts meridian for ten years of practice. But now, Xia Yan wants to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family?
