In an exquisite small courtyard, a woman in purple quickly ran in from the courtyard door, with a look of surprise on her face and shouting loudly.
"What's wrong? I was so surprised. Could it be that that bastard is here again?" A young woman walked out of the room and looked at the woman in purple who just ran in with her beautiful eyes.
"No..." The woman in purple shook her head, gasped for several breaths, and her earrings made a crisp sound, "Do you still remember the person we saw in Tianxing Pavilion the day before yesterday?"
"Tianxing Pavilion?" Miss Liu frowned, "You mean the young man who bought Hantie?"
This pair of master and servant are Su Qin and Xiaohua whom Xia Yan met in Tianxing Pavilion.
"Yes, yes!" Xiaohua nodded continuously, "That's that young man. Miss, that man is in the living room with the master now. You can't guess why he came!"
"Why did he come? He bought stones in Tianxing Pavilion. Did he come to my house to buy fabrics?" Su Qin turned her beautiful eyes and lightly ran her fingers through her hair.
In his brows, a faint trace of sadness did not dissipate.
She has been worrying about that matter these past few days, and has made up her mind that she will not marry that bastard no matter what.
Song Yuxin's reputation in Ziye City was extremely bad, even worse than Xi Qiushui's reputation in Ziye City. In Ziye City, some girls did not even dare to let Song Yuxin see them. Su Li heard rumors that those who were ruined by this Song Yuxin
There are countless girls.
She would not marry such a person no matter what!
"No! I just heard from the guard that he is a mercenary, and he came here after accepting the mission issued by the master in the mercenary hall!" Xiaohua chuckled.
"What?" Su Qin was startled and opened her mouth slightly, "How old is he? He is a mercenary? Xiaohua, don't get it wrong!"
"Miss, how could I be wrong! How many handsome young men are there in Ziye City?" Xiaohua said quickly.
"It's been three days since my father issued the mission, and not a single mercenary has accepted the mission. He actually accepted the mission!" Seeing Xiaohua's certainty, Su Qin's heart moved, "Come on, let's go over and have a look too!"
The two women left this exquisite courtyard and walked towards the front living room.
Xia Yan followed Su Li to the Su family's living room. Su Li let people watch tea and sighed from time to time.
"Master Su, why do you sigh repeatedly?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.
Su Li smiled bitterly and asked instead of answering: "What's your surname, sir?"
Xia Yan replied: "My name is Xia Yan, and I have just arrived in Ziye City for a few days."
"It turns out that Mr. Xia Yan has just arrived in Ziye City, no wonder!" Su Li shook his head and said, "To be honest, sir, it has been three days since I announced this mission in the mercenary hall, but Mr. Xia Yan, you were the first to accept it.
Mercenaries for this mission.”
"Mr. Xia Yan, maybe you don't know the special nature of this task." Su Li stood up and walked a few steps in the hall, "The Song family is one of the four major families in Ziye City. Although my Su family has some wealth,
, but it cannot be compared with the Song family. The Song family has a young master named Song Yuxin who has extremely bad conduct."
"A few days ago, Song Yuxin accidentally saw my little girl Su Qin, and tried every means to get close to her. Just four days ago, he came to me in person to propose marriage." Su Li sighed helplessly.
"Don't say that my daughter doesn't want to marry him, even if she is willing, I won't let her marry Song Yuxin!" Su Li suddenly turned his face and said in a deep voice.
Xia Yan nodded secretly, this Su Li did have some backbone, unlike ordinary businessmen.
"Unfortunately, the Song family is powerful. Although I declined politely, Song Yuxin did not give up. He said that in three days, that is, at noon tomorrow, there will be a fight with people from my Su family. If the Su family can win,
, then he will let go of his little girl Qin'er. If the Su family cannot win tomorrow's competition, I will marry Qin'er to him!" Su Li's voice was full of helplessness.
Xia Yan can also imagine that Song Yuxin must be aggressive.
Although the Su family is rich, they cannot compete with the Song family. If Song Yuxin really tries hard, Su Li may not be able to stop him.
You know, Song Yuxin’s father is a deacon of the temple!
Temple deacons have more power than ordinary temple leaders!
"I had no choice but to agree first. If I didn't agree at that time, he would send someone to do it forcefully. After that, I announced this mission in the mercenary hall, hoping that some mercenaries could help the Su family! But
..." Su Li shook his head dejectedly.
His body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't calm down when he thought about the upcoming competition tomorrow.
The people sent by Song Yuxin must have very strong strength
Su Li suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Yan: "Mr. Xia Yan, thank you very much for accepting this task. However, the Song family is very powerful. I'm afraid that if you accept this task, even if you can't win tomorrow, you will offend the Song family. How about that?"
, I will give Mr. Xia Yan some money now. Mr. Xia Yan, please give up this task!"
Su Li obviously didn't have any confidence in Xia Yan. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it could be seen in his words and deeds.
He did this because he didn't want to harm Xia Yan. Since there was no hope, why bother hurting an innocent person?
Hearing what Su Li said, Xia Yan knew what he was thinking. However, Xia Yan was not angry, but secretly said in his heart, "This Su Li is a good person. I should help the Su family."
Xia Yan shook his head and said: "Since I accepted this task, I will not give up easily! My identity is a mercenary!"
Su Li was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Okay! Mr. Xia Yan, if you say this, I will have a drink with you tonight."
"Father!"
At this time, a fragrant breeze blew from outside the door, and a figure flashed. There were two more people in the hall, it was Su Qin and the maid Xiaohua.
Xia Yan smiled slightly and said hello.
"Is it really you?" Su Qin saw Xia Yan, her bright eyes flashed, and she said.
"Qin'er, do you know Mr. Xia Yan?" Su Li asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the day before yesterday I went to Tianxing Pavilion to buy cold iron, and it happened that this gentleman also wanted to buy cold iron. He said he needed it urgently, so I gave it to her." Su Qin nodded, and then turned to look at Xia Yan, "
I didn’t expect that you are still a mercenary!”
"Thank you, Miss Su Qin!" Xia Yan said with a smile.
"What a coincidence! Mr. Xia Yan, this is our little girl Qin'er!" Su Li smiled and introduced, "Qin'er, this is Mr. Xia Yan, a mercenary from the mercenary hall!"
"Mr. Xia Yan, are you a first-class mercenary?" Su Qin said with a frown.
Xia Yan nodded and replied: "Yes, I am a mercenary who registered just the day before yesterday. This mission is my first mission after becoming a mercenary."
"Ah?" the maid Xiaohua exclaimed, "Then how do you deal with that bastard Song Yuxin?"
"I will try my best!" Xia Yan said with a smile.
"I see that your strength is not much greater than mine." Su Qin looked at Xia Yan with beautiful eyes, opened her red lips slightly and revealed her white teeth.
"Haha, I am a cultivator!" Xia Yan secretly laughed in his heart.
Thinking of Su Qin's angry appearance in Tianxing Pavilion the day before yesterday, I wanted to laugh in my heart.
If Song Yuxin really married Su Qin, it would be really dangerous if Su Qin attacked her unnoticed.
"How old are you? Even if you have been practicing since you were born, and you have only been practicing for more than ten years, can you be a match for those around Song Yuxin?" Xiaohua wrinkled her nose and asked.
"Don't be rude!" Su Li scolded.
Although he scolded him, he did not have any hope for Xia Yan. Xia Yan was too young and was only a first-level mercenary.
Tomorrow, I can only leave it to fate!
"Haha, maybe things will turn around!" Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Oh, I hope so!" Su Li nodded and said.
After chatting with the Su family father and daughter for a while, Su Li asked someone to prepare a dinner and had a drink with Xia Yan. Then, someone took Xia Yan to the guest room.
Although the Su Family Mansion is not big, there are still many vacant rooms.
The Su family seems to have only two owners, one is Su Li and the other is Su Qin. As for Su Qin's mother, Xia Yan did not see it and did not ask about it.
After a silent night, Xia Yan used the Lingluo Heart Method to absorb the spiritual power of the night. He woke up from trance the next morning, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and felt refreshed.
After washing up, Xia Yan left the room and performed a set of sword skills.
There are at least hundreds of sword skills that Xia Yan knows now. He can practice a set of sword skills casually.
"Mr. Xia Yan!"
A set of sword skills training was over. As soon as he put away his sword, Xia Yan saw Su Qin approaching.
"Is there something wrong, Miss Su Qin?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.
Su Qin turned her beautiful eyes and nodded, but she did not speak immediately. Instead, she lowered her head and pondered for a while. She was wearing a beige long skirt and had a slim figure.
"Mr. Xia Yan, you'd better not compete with Song Yuxin's people. You are no match for them." After a while, Su Qin spoke and persuaded Xia Yan again.
Xia Yan said: "It hasn't started yet, how do you know that I am not their opponent?"
Su Qin was anxious, frowned and said: "You are really no match for them, so it's better not to compete. I have already made up my mind to marry Song Yuxin."
Xia Yan was stunned and said in astonishment: "Miss, has she changed her mind?"
Su Qin nodded and said: "Yes, I have thought about it."
There was a trace of determination on her face. Xia Yan's heart moved. He saw Su Qin's reaction that day in Tianxing Pavilion. Of course he would not believe that her thoughts had completely changed in the past two days. And at this time, when she spoke, she showed
His expression was obviously not normal.
"Miss Su Qin, since I have accepted this task, I will definitely try my best to complete it. This... is my first task, and it is very important to me. No matter what you have in mind, you can decide after noon today.
." Xia Yan took a breath, "As for now, miss, don't think too much about it. This task may not be as difficult as you think!"
Hearing what Xia Yan said, Su Qin sighed quietly and looked at Xia Yan with her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly he smiled and asked: "Mr. Xia Yan, are you married?"
Xia Yan was slightly startled and said in confusion: "Not yet!"
"Well, Mr. Xia Yan, if you can really win, I will marry you!" With that said, Su Qin turned around and left quickly.
Xia Yan looked at Su Qin's back, frowned slightly, and his whole body was shaken...
