Outside the temple, three teams of temple guards patrolled from time to time.
"Captain, I think something big may happen to Purple Leaf City recently!" A guard held an epee in his hand. He had a good relationship with the captain and took the time to chat.
"What?" The captain raised his eyes.
"A few days ago, the temple master called all the deacons of the temple to attend a temple meeting. It seems that Mr. Xia Yan became the new temple deacon at the meeting!" The guard's eyes flickered.
People are curious. They, the temple guards, work in the temple and know a lot about the temple. Although they don't have much contact with the big shots above, they are still very well-informed about the news about the temple.
When the temple holds a meeting and there are any personnel changes, these guards can know immediately.
"That Lord Xia Yan, not long ago became the hall master of Yushui City, and now he has become the deacon of the temple. The hall master of Yushui City has never had the position of deacon of the temple for so many years." The guard said "tsk tsk" twice.
His face glowed red and he looked a little excited.
"The most important thing is not these things, but that Lord Xia Yan is so young. He occasionally comes out of the temple in the past two days, and he seems to be very easy-going. He seems to be more approachable than the hall masters and deacons."
The guard said happily, because just yesterday, he said hello to Xia Yan.
In the past two days, he has spread the news widely, and none of his relatives and friends know that Lord Xia Yan greeted him.
"Let's not talk too much about the temple!" The guard captain stopped, then turned slightly sideways, and several guards behind him also stopped. "You have also seen in the past few days, that the head of the Lu family and Song
The heads of the family are each darker-faced than the last, and they look menacing when entering and exiting the temple. When Lord Xia Yan was training at Purple Leaf Academy, he had a bad relationship with them."
The guard captain lowered his voice and looked around from time to time to see if anyone was approaching.
"Captain, I see that the palace master is very polite to Lord Xia Yan, as if he is a very close friend. Tell me, why is the palace master so polite to Lord Xia Yan?" Another guard asked out of curiosity.
This can be seen by everyone in the temple as long as they are not blind. Pang Yuan, the master of the temple, never behaves condescendingly when he is with Xia Yan.
"I don't know the reason. These matters are beyond our control. Lord Xia Yan's reputation is very great in the Dragon Continent. After the college exchange meeting, his reputation has spread to every corner of the Dragon Continent. I
I have an adventurer friend who I met a few days ago and asked me if Mr. Xia Yan was in Ziye City. He also said that some of the big forces in the Holy City have invited Mr. Xia Yan." The guard captain held his waist.
He moved his sword to the side and sighed, but soon his face straightened, "Okay, don't talk too much here, let's continue patrolling."
…
"Gululu~"
A black carriage gradually drove into the security circle of the temple guards. All the temple guards turned their attention to the carriage.
The carriage stopped two hundred meters away from the temple gate, and eight people got out of the carriage.
It was Xia Feilong and others.
After Xia Feilong got out of the car, he looked around and saw the temple just two hundred meters away. He was refreshed. Xia Changhe looked at the majestic and huge temple and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
beard.
"Clan leader, I haven't been here for more than ten years! Ten years have passed, and it seems that not much has changed! This square is still there!" Xia Changhe smiled and looked at Xia Feilong. The square he was talking about was
The place where you stand.
"I haven't been to Ziye City for several years. If Xia Yan hadn't asked us to come here this time, I don't know when we would have had the opportunity to visit the main city." Xia Feilong nodded slightly, "Let's go, let's go
Go over and ask if the guards can inform us."
"Let's go." Xia Changhe nodded.
Bai Hua, Xia Liu, and four Xia family guards followed the two of them and walked towards the main entrance of the temple.
"Stop! This is the temple, please don't come near it!"
When the guard captain saw the people getting off the carriage walking towards him, he quickly shouted to stop.
"Hello, Mr. Guard." Xia Feilong stopped and said, "We are from the Xia family in Yushui City. I am Xia Feilong, the head of the Xia family, and this is Xia Changhe, the elder of the Xia family."
"Xia Yan, the master of Yushui City, is also a descendant of our Xia family. He asked us to come to the temple to find him. I wonder if he is in the temple at this time?" Xia Feilong said with a smile, and his tone was very polite.
Although he is a family patriarch, this is the main city. Even when talking to these temple guards, Xia Feilong tried to keep his posture as low as possible.
"Um?"
"It turns out they are Lord Xia Yan's family!"
The guard captain and the guards were all slightly shocked.
"It turns out that it's Clan Chief Xia and the elders. Lord Xia Yan is in the temple. Please wait a moment. I'll go in and report." The guard captain immediately changed his face, cupped his fists and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Guard!" Xia Feilong and Xia Changhe both clasped their fists.
The two looked at each other, and Xia Changhe whispered, "I didn't expect the temple guards to be so easy to talk to and so polite to us."
The captain of the guard entered the temple to announce that Xia Yan heard that the head of the Xia family had arrived outside the temple, so he quickly came out of his room. When he had nothing to do in the past few days, he had been refining alchemy, and his alchemy ability continued to improve.
With the storage space, Xia Yan's alchemy making is much easier than before. Now he can take out the cauldron and make alchemy anytime and anywhere.
"Xia Yan? You want to go out?"
As soon as Xia Yan went out, he saw the palace master also walking out of the room. Palace master Pang Yuan saw Xia Yan and asked with a smile.
"Well, the Xia family members are already outside. I'll go make arrangements." Xia Yan nodded.
"Oh? The Xia family is here? Haha, let me go out with you." Pang Yuan put his hands behind his back, his eyes lit up, and he was slightly surprised and said, "Anyway, the Xia family is about to enter Ziye City, and sooner or later I have to go with you.
I have contacted the patriarch of the Xia family. Let’s get to know each other now so that we can talk to him when we meet later.”
Xia Yan pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "Now there is nothing wrong with introducing the clan leaders to Hall Master Pang Yuan. As Hall Master Pang Yuan said, if the Xia family develops in Ziye City in the future, they will definitely have to deal with Hall Master Pang Yuan frequently."
Thinking in his mind, Xia Yan nodded, "That's really troublesome for the Lord of the Palace!"
"What's the trouble?" Pang Yuan shook his head carelessly, "Go out, don't keep the clan leader waiting. Xia Yan, your plan this time is amazing, you can kill two families at once...
"
Pang Yuan did not continue speaking, and Xia Yan did not respond. He just chuckled twice. When the two of them arrived outside the hall, Xia Yan saw Xia Feilong and others standing not far away.
"Palace Master, those are the ones." Xia Yan pointed at Xia Feilong and others and said to Pang Yuan.
"Clan leader, Third Grandpa, you came very quickly." Xia Yan and Pang Yuan arrived near Xia Feilong and others and said with a smile.
"After receiving your letter, I came over with the third elder and Bai Hua in the afternoon." Xia Feilong looked at Pang Yuan beside Xia Yan and asked doubtfully, "Xia Yan, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Pang Yuan, the master of the Purple Leaf City Temple!" Xia Yan quickly raised his hand and introduced him.
"Haha, Clan Chief Xia, Third Elder!" Pang Yuan also clasped his fists towards the two of them.
"Palace Master?" Xia Feilong and Xia Changhe were suddenly shocked and looked at Xia Yan and Pang Yuan in horror.
They never expected that the master of the temple would come out to greet them in person and speak so politely. Xia Feilong could tell that the master of the temple, Pang Yuan, seemed to have a good relationship with Xia Yan.
Behind Xia Feilong, Bai Hua and Xia Liu were even more shocked.
Although they thought the man next to Xia Yan was very powerful, they did not expect him to be the temple master. They thought he might be a deacon of the temple or a member of the temple's management staff.
Now when I heard Xia Yan say that he was actually the master of the temple, the master who controlled the entire main city and dozens of counties and cities under his jurisdiction, it was hard not to be surprised.
After a long while, Xia Feilong and Xia Changhe felt that they could continue to breathe and woke up from their shock.
"I have met the Lord of the Palace!" The two of them quickly bowed and saluted.
Bai Hua, Xia Liu, and several guards all bowed and saluted.
"Xia Yan, look at how many people in your family are outsiders!" Pang Yuan looked at Xia Yan and pretended to be unhappy.
"Clan leader, Third Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. Well..." Xia Yan pondered a little, frowning slightly, "Let's do this first, I will find a place for you to live, and then contact a few people. Tonight, we will start discussing
What I said in the letter."
"Okay, okay!" Xia Feilong nodded quickly.
He really couldn't imagine that Xia Yan would be so familiar with the temple master. Before coming, he was still worried that the biggest resistance Xia Yan encountered would be from the temple. He didn't expect that Xia Yan's relationship with the temple master would be so good.
.
Naturally, there will be no resistance from the temple, and next will be the four major families in Ziye City. If the four major families agree, it will be much easier to deal with the other families.
Now Xia Feilong and others don't know Xia Yan's plan, let alone Xia Yan's plan to kill two of the four major families. If they knew Xia Yan's plan, they would probably be better off than now when they see the temple master personally greet him
They are still shocked.
Each of the four major families in the main city has hundreds of years of history and is deeply rooted in Ziye City. Ordinary people can't even think of shaking them down. No matter how imaginative Xia Feilong and others are, they will never think of killing the big families in the main city.
The family then takes its place.
In Xia Feilong's subconscious mind, he felt that Xia Yan might open up relationships with various families in the main city so that Xia Yan could develop business and have a place in Ziye City.
"Xia Yan, there is no need to bother. There are many rooms in the temple, so I will let a few of them stay in the temple temporarily. After a while, I will ask people to invite the heads of the Qi family, Dong family and others to the temple, and then we will all come together
How about the discussion?" Pang Yuan frowned and interjected.
