In the room, Xia Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled from his mouth. For the past seven days, his mind had been immersed in another world.
"Am I back?" Xia Yan opened his eyes, raised his arms, and showed an expression of disbelief, "I thought I was dead! It turns out that this was just a dream, a dream that seemed to be real!
"
Xia Yan's state of mind has undergone a complete transformation in these seven days. The Xia Yan now is no longer the Xia Yan seven days ago.
"How do you feel?" A voice sounded in Xia Yan's ears.
Xia Yan turned his head and saw the senior cloaked man outside the door. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the cloaked man. Xia Yan knew very well that his dream had helped him beyond imagination.
Now Xia Yan has directly jumped over the biggest obstacle on the road to transforming into the realm of the Spirit Emperor!
"Go!" The cloaked man waved his hand and said two words, then turned around and looked at the huge cauldron in the courtyard.
Xia Yan said no more, walked out of the room and out of the courtyard.
"Go back to the temple. It's time to meet the temple deacons now!" Xia Yan's eyes were sharp, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and thoughts were running through his mind, "I'll go say goodbye to the clan leader first, and wait for the temple.
After the matter is settled, it’s time for me to return to the Holy Mountain. Well, yes, I have to find out first how many days I will be in seclusion this time!”
Xia Yan then saw a Xia family member not far away, frowned, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Xia Ming!"
This child of the Xia family is none other than Xia Ming. Xia Ming, who participated in the examination for direct children of the Xia family with Xia Yan, is two or three years younger than Xia Yan and should be fourteen years old this year.
Xia Ming was walking in front, and when he heard someone calling his name, he quickly turned around. When he saw Xia Yan, his whole body was shaken. He never expected that he would bump into Xia Yan, and Xia Yan would call out his name.
.Compared to two years ago, Xia Ming has grown much taller. Xia Yan had a deeper impression of Xia Ming back then, so after a little thought, he remembered Xia Ming's name.
After waking up, Xia Ming hurriedly walked towards Xia Yan.
"Master Xia Yan!" Xia Ming saluted and said, very respectfully.
"You and I are both direct descendants of the Xia family, please call me brother Xia Yan!" Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Xia Yan!" Xia Ming's face was overjoyed, and he immediately changed his tune and got closer. Xia Yan's talent is also good. After two years of training, he is now at the peak of his acquired skills and is about to break through to become a spiritual master.
"Did you encounter any difficulties in cultivation?" Xia Yan asked.
"Brother Xia Yan, my cultivation is going very well. The clan leader and elders often reward me with pills. In three days, I plan to reach the realm of spiritual master." Xia Ming replied.
"Well, not bad!" Xia Yan nodded, "Practice hard, what are the patriarch and the elders of the clan doing now? By the way, this time I am in seclusion in the other courtyard in the west. I don't know how much time has passed.
day?"
"The clan leader and elders are in the front yard. Many important people from Ziyue City have come to visit in the past few days. The clan leader said that they all want to see you, brother Xia Yan. Because brother Xia Yan, you are in seclusion in the West Courtyard, and the clan leader doesn't know who you are.
I didn't mean to let them in, and said I would wait until you come out. Seven days have passed since Brother Xia Yan retreated this time." Xia Ming spoke clearly and understood every word. Although he was a little excited, he was very calm.
"Well, I understand. I'll go see the clan leader, and you can do your work!" Xia Yan looked in the direction of the front yard, and then said to Xia Ming.
"Okay, Brother Xia Yan!" Xia Ming nodded.
In a house in the front yard.
"What?" Xia Feilong and the eldest elder were discussing in the room. Suddenly a family member came in. It was the Xia family member who had just slipped out of the restaurant.
This young man of the Xia family quickly told the clan leader and the chief elder what had happened in the restaurant.
When Xia Feilong heard this, he stood up immediately. If he were an ordinary member of the Xia family, Xia Feilong wouldn't be so concerned or moved, but when it came to Bai Hua and others, Xia Feilong couldn't help but become very solemn.
Bai Hua and others are Xia Yan's friends!
"The elders of the Gan family actually bullied members of my Xia family, let's go and see!" Xia Feilong's breath sank, his eyes became sharper, and he waved his sleeves and said.
"Among the elders of the Gan family, there are those who are in the realm of great spiritual masters!" The elder Xia Lai's face also turned gloomy, and he said with a flash of his eyes, "Chief, if we fight with them, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss!"
Although the power of the Xia family has risen rapidly, because it has only been so short, so far, except for Xia Yan, no other member of the family has reached the level of a great spiritual master.
"There is no time to think about it. Bai Hua and the others must not get into trouble, otherwise how will we explain to Xia Yan!" Xia Feilong waved his hands and said anxiously.
Then he looked at the Xia family member and said, "Take us to that restaurant!"
"Yes!" The Xia family disciple nodded in response.
"What happened?" As soon as Xia Yan came outside the door, he heard what Xia Feilong said next. He frowned and asked immediately.
Hearing Xia Yan's voice, Xia Feilong and Xia Lai both looked happy.
"Xia Yan, you're out of seclusion!" Xia Feilong said happily when he saw Xia Yan.
"Yes, I learned a lot during this retreat!" Xia Yan nodded, frowned slightly, and looked at the Xia family disciple, "What's the matter?"
"Master Xia Yan, it's like this..." The Xia family disciple quickly explained the matter briefly.
Hearing this, Xia Yan's face became increasingly gloomy, and he said coldly, "What a Gan family. I haven't even taken action against you yet, yet you still dare to provoke the Xia family! Huh! Chief, let's go and see what's going on!
"
The group of people quickly left the room in the front yard and walked towards the courtyard door.
Outside the courtyard gate, several former temple deacons gathered here. Although they never saw Xia Yan, they did not leave just now. They arrived in front of the Xia family's residence every morning and left at night. These seven
It's like this every day. They all hope that this pretended sincerity can impress Xia Yan!
"Hula~"
"Come out, come out! Master Xia Yan, come out!" A man stood on a tree trunk outside. When he saw Xia Yan and others coming out of the courtyard, he jumped and clapped his hands and said.
When the other deacons heard this, they quickly straightened their appearance, looked solemn, smoothed their clothes, and looked at the gate of the house attentively.
Sure enough, Xia Yan, the head of the Xia family and others all came out.
After Xia Yan came out, his eyes flashed when he saw these familiar faces.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time!" Xia Yan cupped his fists slightly.
"No, have you met the Lord of the Hall?" These temple deacons quickly waved their hands and said respectfully.
"Well, I have something to deal with now. You can come with me to watch the fun!" Xia Yan nodded, turned to the Xia family member who reported the news and said, "Which restaurant is it? Take us there!"
"It's the Pearl Restaurant, not far from here, just in front!" The Xia family member quickly pointed to the front and said.
Several temple deacons looked at each other and did not dare to ask any more questions. They speculated in their hearts and followed Xia Yan and others towards the Pearl Restaurant.
"Sir Elder, this man's name is Xia Liu, and he is a descendant of the Xia family!" Gan Song pointed at Xia Liu, who was injured and had just been helped up by Bai Hua, and said.
"The Xia family has indeed risen rapidly. Such a young family member is already in the middle stage of a spiritual master." The eldest elder of the Gan family nodded, "Xia Liu, our Gan family has no intention to have any grudges with the Xia family. Today's matter cannot be ruled out.
Blame our Gan family. These few are the outside managers and deacons of the Xia family, but they are arrogant and domineering, and even our Gan family elders do not look down upon them. If they were ordinary people, my Gan family would have killed them long ago. Now, it is because of Xia
Only for the family’s sake should I give light punishment.”
The eldest elder of the Gan family said in a deep voice.
"First Elder, what do you want to say to these juniors? No one in Ziyue City dares not to take our Gan family seriously!" the Ninth Elder said sternly.
"The Great Elder, the Ninth Elder, these people were so brazen about claiming to be Xia Yan's friends just now!" Gan Su pointed at Bai Rui and the others and said with a sneer.
"Oh?" The great elder's eyes changed, and then he smiled indifferently, "Are you friends of Palace Master Xia Yan?"
"Young kid, you don't know the depth!" the Ninth Elder sneered, "Dare to call yourself Xia Yan's friend? Do you know that Xia Yan is from the Peak Spirit Sect? Can you imagine how strong the Peak Spirit Sect is?"
The Ninth Elder said as if to a three-year-old child.
Xia Liu grinned, looked at the eldest elder and ninth elder of the Gan family like an idiot, smiled and said, "Chief Bai Hua and them are indeed friends of the master of Xia Yan. Moreover, they are very special friends! Who?
If you bully Chief Bai Hua and the others, just wait for the punishment from Palace Master Xia Yan!"
"What?"
"Are you telling the truth?" The eldest elder of the Gan family, as well as other elders, were all shocked. Their eyes suddenly widened and their bodies shook violently.
This Xia Liu is a mid-term spiritual master. He is so young and must have a relatively high status in the Xia family. Xia Liu, it is impossible to tell lies, right? Just now, Xia Liu actually blocked Bai Rui's palm.
The faces of Gan Su and the other two people turned a little blue. When the Gan Su and the other three people were eating just now, the reason why they dared to brazenly say that they wanted to kill Xia Yan was because they were too far away from Xia Yan, and the gap between the two sides was so big that it was impossible to
To measure it, they said a few words casually. Even if Xia Yan heard these words, it would be impossible to find them specially and then take action against them. But now, things seem to be a little different.
For a moment, there was silence in the entire restaurant hall.
"Humph, so what if they are Xia Yan's friends? You juniors, please apologize to us now, and forget about what happened just now!" When the ninth elder of the Gan family spoke, his confidence was obviously lacking, but things
Having already reached this stage, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and say this through gritted teeth.
