Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin swaggered in. Angela's expression changed drastically, and even the curve of Adam's mouth froze slightly.
"How did you, how did you get in!" Angela turned her head and stared at the door in shock. The door was locked from the inside, how could they come in quietly? She and Adam are both wizards. Let alone her, how could he not even notice that Adam was in the room
Xia Shao just smiled and said nothing. With his senior brother here, he naturally had the means to open the door without being discovered. If Adam was at his best, he would naturally be able to detect it, but he was injured. He had just been hit by her dark energy. No matter how high his cultivation level was, his internal organs were damaged. It was natural for his sensory acuity to decrease at this moment.
Adam probably knew this, so he sat on the sofa, relatively calm. He just froze slightly and then laughed, "It's really admirable that Miss Xia can find this place."
Angela's face turned pale again. She had only cared about the ability of these two people to enter the door quietly, but she had forgotten how they found this place! Only Adam knew about her coming to China. Did they follow Adam? Why didn't Adam notice
"What do you want to do?" Angela stepped in front of Adam as if facing a powerful enemy, a human-shaped piece of paper in her hand glowing with black air, "Did you hurt my brother?"
Angela had seen Xia Shao's information, so she recognized her at a glance.
"No, your brother was injured intentionally." Xia Shao smiled faintly. Xu Tianyin held her hand and half-blocked her behind him. The black energy of the general in his hand was much more powerful than the piece of paper in Angela's hand. His eyes were as cold as a wolf king in the darkness, staring at Angela's hands. As long as she dared to act rashly, a corpse would lie here today.
Adam exchanged blows with Xu Tianyin, stood up immediately, smiled and pushed his sister behind him, with an elegant posture, and looked at the two of them with a calm smile, "From what Miss Xia said, it seems that our conversation was also heard."
Angela was behind Adam, but she was not as calm as him. Their conversation was heard! It means that these two people have been standing at the door for a while. What’s terrible is that they really didn’t notice it at all beforehand! Such a thing has never happened before. It was simply a slap in the face as wizards, a great shame and humiliation!
Xia Shao did not answer according to Adam's words. She didn't want to tell him that she was still learning how to read lips. Now if the other person speaks Chinese, she can understand most of it, but Adam and Angela speak their native language, English. She could only guess from a few words. Fortunately, the hospital and hotel that Hu Jiayi went to were both in the city center, not far away. When she and her senior brother rushed over, they heard the last few words, which was the key point.
"What I want to say to Mr. Adam and Miss Angela is that I can't see your sincerity from afar. If you want to show your sincerity, it's very simple. Come to Hong Kong with me!" Xia Shao repeated what she said when she entered the door.
Angela looked annoyed, "What do you want to do? Take us as hostages and threaten my father to die? My brother and I will not agree!"
"Angela." Adam turned back slightly, glanced at his sister, and signaled her not to interrupt. Then he looked back at Xia Shao, nodded and said, "Okay. If this can make Miss Xia feel my sincerity."
"Adam?" Angela stared at him in disbelief, "No! They will use us as a threat!"
Adam ignored Angela and continued: "However, I hope I can go to Hong Kong alone with Miss Xia. My sister, she was not involved in what happened back then, so I hope she can go home."
"Adam!" Angela's expression turned into worry and anxiety this time, "No! Hong Kong is their base camp. You will be in danger if you go there..."
"No." Xia Shao's refusal and Angela's voice came at the same time, "Mr. Adam seems to love your sister very much. I need someone who is not very strong to restrain you."
"You!" Angela realized that Xia Shao's words meant that her cultivation was not good enough, and her face suddenly turned from pale to red, feeling ashamed and angry.
Adam took a deep look at Xia Shao, with a smile that was unclear, "Miss Xia is really a straightforward person."
"No way, it's nothing compared to Mr. Adam's ability to go around in circles." Xia Shao snorted and retorted.
"Then I can ask Miss Xia, after our brothers and sisters arrive in Hong Kong, will Miss Xia make our brothers and sisters hostages to threaten my father to go to Hong Kong?" Adam finally stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
"I can't make the decision anymore. When you arrive in Hong Kong and meet my master, you have to listen to his master in everything," Xia Shao said.
Adam lowered his eyes after hearing this, raised his eyes after a while, and nodded, "Okay."
…
The matter was settled like that. Xia Shao summoned Dahuang, left Xu Tianyin in the hotel room, and asked the two of them to watch the Adam brothers and sisters before returning to the hospital.
Hu Jiayi woke up in the evening. As soon as she woke up, she became emotional and said that Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were in danger, which made Hu Guangjin, his wife and Liu Xianxian who were guarding the hospital bed confused. The three of them told Hu Jiayi what happened to the Hu family. Just when Hu Jiayi couldn't believe it, Xia Shao came back.
Seeing that Xia Shao was fine and hearing that Adam was injured and escaped, Hu Jiayi was sitting on the bed, as if she had lost her mind.
Hu Jiayi's memory was obviously not affected, which shows that Xia Shao rushed in at the right time and interrupted Adam's last ritual. But she remembers everything and does look shaken. Xia Shao was a little confused, wondering whether she should tell Hu Jiayi about Adam's intentional injury. From her point of view, she does not want Hu Jiayi and Adam to be involved too much. Their personalities are too different and they may not be a good match. And how much true feelings there are between these two people is open to question. But from Hu Jiayi's perspective, she has the right to know the truth.
Xia Shao thought about it for a while and finally decided to tell the truth. This matter should be handled by Hu Jiayi herself. Regardless of whether the outcome is good or bad, this experience will make her grow.
So, Xia Shao persuaded Hu Guangjin, his wife and Liu Xianxian to leave, and stayed in the ward to tell Hepan what happened. Xia Shao only told what happened. As for some of her speculations, such as whether the reason Adam didn't take action in the room was out of protection for Hu Jiayi, Xia Shao didn't say anything. This is her guess. Without evidence, she doesn't want to mislead.
Xia Shao didn't even say that Adam was intentionally injured and fell from the window, but Hu Jiayi heard it. She raised her eyes, her eye circles were red and swollen, and she was full of nasal sounds, "He said that he received an order from the family this time to either convince you or kill you. He wanted to kill you, why didn't he fight back?"
Xia Shao saw that she saw it, and then nodded, "He was hit by me on purpose."
"Why did he do this?" Hu Jiayi was confused, like a little girl, not knowing what to do.
"You have to ask him about this. My answer is not his answer after all." Xia Shao lowered her eyes and said calmly.
"He refused to tell me anything. We have known each other for half a year, and he is good at everything. He is as good as the perfect knight in a fairy tale book. Every day I am with him is like living in a dream. I start to feel very wonderful, Until now... I feel like I can't see anything clearly." Hu Jiayi pursed her lips, tears falling down. You can see her sadness. Maybe she thought she had been living in a beautiful dream for the past six months, but in the end it was all purpose and deception, completely unreal.
Seeing her confused look, Xia Shao sighed, "Jiayi, how much of your love for Adam is a male-female thing, have you ever considered it?"
Hu Jiayi was stunned and raised her head.
"You should know that you cannot become a professional wizard. Your family has a career that you need to inherit. If you go to pursue your dream, it is just a wish of yours. Sooner or later, you will come back. But in school, no matter what you do, No matter how talented you are, if you are not from the Obikris family, you will not have the opportunity to learn advanced witchcraft or even secret arts. But Adam is different. He is the future head of the Satan lineage of the Obikris family and has achieved great achievements. The great wizard. He has been your yearning since childhood, and you have admired him. But the admiration is not a relationship between men and women after all. He takes care of and protects you meticulously, allowing you to get rid of many dangers and assassinations from around you. You I'm grateful to him, but gratitude is not a feeling between men and women. I just want to ask you, is it him you yearn for, or is it your dream since you were a child? How much do you like him, apart from your yearning and gratitude, left?" Xia Shao's words were light and slow, but every word was like a wake-up call.
Hu Jiayi sat in the hospital bed in a daze, hugging the quilt, letting her tears fall down, but forgetting to wipe them.
"Maybe you really like him. These words of mine are just my opinions and guesses, but I hope you can think it through." Xia Shao lowered her eyes and looked at Hu Jiayi with a serious expression, "If you I understand, if you really like him, then I still hope you can be happy. Although my sect has enmity with Adam’s family, it is the grudge of the previous generation, and the next generation who is not at fault should not be punished. Implicated. I know that if you really like Adam, the grudge between Xuanmen and the Adam family will definitely embarrass you. But I just want to tell you that I can only discuss the matter with you. If you are embarrassed, this revenge must be avenged. If you really like Adam, you don’t have to worry about me. That’s your feeling, and you have the right to pursue it. I will only bless you, because we will always be friends.”
Hu Jiayi looked at Xia Shao, biting her lip and saying nothing, looking a little confused. She had just been hit on the head and began to doubt whether she liked Adam or not. Xia Shao began to talk about how to deal with the matter if she liked Adam.
But Xia Shao then said: "But if you don't like him, I hope you can cheer up soon. Your experience in the UK for the past six months has been hurtful and also an experience for you. If you want to accept the family business in the future, You must learn to identify and think about everyone and everything around you. Grow up as soon as possible, after all, this is your responsibility."
Hu Jiayi bit her lip and lowered her head silently after hearing the words. After a while, she raised her eyes and said, "I understand. Thank you for enlightening me, Xiaoshao. Don't worry, I will think it over carefully."
Xia Shao then smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Just don't let your parents and immortals worry."
"Well!" Hu Jiayi raised her hand, wiped her face fiercely, and showed an ugly but sincere smile, "Let them come in. I can be discharged from the hospital. I am not sick in the first place."
Xia Shao stood up and called in Hu Guangjin, his wife and Liu Xianxian, who were poking their heads at the door. Liu Xianxian was very depressed today. She didn't know anything about Hu Jiayi and Adam, or Xia Shao and Adam. In the past, she was the most gossipy person, but now that there was such a big gossip in front of her, she didn't understand it at all. It was really hurting her internally.
Hu Jiayi insisted on going home and did not want to stay in the hospital. Hu Guangjin and his wife called a doctor to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her body and that she was just depressed. Then they agreed to go through the procedures and take her home.
Xia Shao did not go back with Hu Guangjin and his wife. She said she still had something to do, and once again apologized for destroying the Hu family's room, saying that someone from Ada Real Estate would repair it and compensate. Hu Guangjin was stunned for a moment, and then he waved his hand graciously and said no, since his family was not short of money. Xia Shao just smiled and naturally didn't take it seriously. She said she would call the Hu family if anything happened and left the hospital.
After returning to the hotel, before entering the room, Xia Shao heard a piercing scream in the room.
"Ah! Don't come here! Don't come here! Adam, this snake is so annoying!"
Xia Shao pushed the door open and went in. She saw Xu Tianyin sitting cross-legged guarding the corridor he had to pass when going out, as motionless as a statue. In the house, Angela was chased all over the house by a golden dragon with a thick arm, scurrying back and forth, screaming while running. Adam was sitting on the sofa rubbing his ears. When he saw Xia Shao pushing the door open and coming in, he said, "Miss Xia, you are finally back. Can you take this ghost back? Angela is afraid of snakes."
Xia Shao saw that Angela's face was pale and her blue eyes were full of mist, and she suddenly felt something dark. Angela is a direct descendant of Satan. Although she is a girl, dark wizards should not be afraid of snakes. Speaking of which, Angela's name should mean angel. For a girl of Satan's lineage to have such a name and be afraid of snakes, she is really white wizard material.
Come on, who are these Satanists
"Dahuang, come here." Xia Shao called out, and the golden python decisively stopped chasing him, swam slowly to Xia Shao's legs, hissed and spat out a message, and was suspected of taking credit.
Angela's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that Xia Shao actually let such a slippery and disgusting snake touch her legs, her hair stood up just thinking about it. Adam raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a little... weird. He can understand Chinese. Although he doesn't know what "rhubarb" means, he seems to feel... not so beautiful when he hears it.
Xia Shao raised her eyes, saw Adam's expression, lowered her eyes and said, "I just went to the hospital, Jiayi woke up."
Adam's weird expression froze for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and turned slightly to look out the window. He should have heard that Hu Jiayi went to the hospital, but he didn't say anything.
Xia Shao stared at Adam and continued, "Fortunately, her memory is still intact."
Adam looked out the window. It was getting dark outside now, and the city's neon stars were reflected in the room, falling on the elegant man's face, and his expression could not be seen. All I saw was that he lowered his head slightly, with a slight smile on his lips, and the unique melancholy charm of his voice, "It may not be good for her if she is complete."
"Oh? Then you think incomplete memory is good for talents?"
"If she didn't have that memory in England, she would be fine." Adam smiled, "She has a very pure heart for witchcraft, which is her talent. If she was born into a wizarding family, she would be very good. Achievements. But her pure heart is not suitable for survival in the world of wizards."
Xia Shao frowned. Did he want to erase all Hu Jiayi's memories in the UK, including his
At this moment, Adam turned his head and looked at Xia Shao, "You are her friend, and she seems to like you very much. So, please advise her not to return to England again."
“…”
Xia Shao didn't answer. It stands to reason that Hu Jiayi should make the decision. But Xia Shao didn't want her to return to England, not for any other reason than because she knew that the two factions of the Obikris family had competing interests, and the students in the school might also be divided into two factions. Hu Jiayi had only a short time to learn witchcraft and was very scheming. It's not deep, and it may be dangerous if you go there.
So, Xia Shao called Hu Jiayi that night. In order to prevent her from worrying, Xia Shao did not explain the problems faced by the Adam family. She only said that she hoped that she would not think too much about the school and sort out her thoughts first. After Hu Jiayi experienced this incident, she was also somewhat confused about returning to the UK. In her opinion, she would have to face her mentor Adam when she returned there, and her feelings for Adam had not yet been straightened out. So he agreed to Xia Shao.
After Xia Shao put down the phone, she called her home again. She originally planned to go to Hong Kong before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to pay New Year greetings to Master and meet her friends in Hong Kong. But things in the world really couldn't keep up with the changes in plans. She called and said she had something to go to Hong Kong and would leave from Qingshi tomorrow.
Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were surprised, but they had become accustomed to Xia Shao running around like this in the past few years. The couple only asked her how long she could stay in Hong Kong and whether she could come back home before school started. Xia Shao couldn't guarantee it. Who knew how things might change in Hong Kong? But in order to reassure her parents, she said she would try to go back before school started.
Early the next morning, Xia Shao, Xu Tianyin, Adam, and Angela headed to Qingshi Airport together.
On the plane, Xia Shao and Angela sat together, and Xu Tianyin and Adam sat together. The brother and sister were quite peaceful during the trip, but Angela regarded Xia Shao's purpose of taking them to Hong Kong as evil, so she glared at her on the plane. Xia Shao ignored it. After a three-hour flight, the flight landed at Hong Kong International Airport.
Xia Shao called her master Tang Zongbo last night. Xuanmen already knew that two direct members of the Satan sect of the Obikris family were coming to Hong Kong. Therefore, when Xia Shao and the others got off the plane, someone was already picking them up. .
Those who picked up the plane were Zhang Zhongxian's eldest disciple Qiu Qiqiang and his two disciples. Qiu Qiqiang was a generous man, but when he saw Adam and Angela, his expression was not very good. The two disciples didn't even look down upon the Adam brothers and sisters. They drove all the way to the old Feng Shui Hall where the Xuanmen Main Hall was located. Both Adam and Angela looked down upon them.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Temple Street is already very busy. Many Hong Kong citizens come to the old Feng Shui Hall to seek peace charms. As soon as Xia Shao got out of the car, people coming and going recognized her. It has only been half a year since she left Hong Kong, but the wave she created in Hong Kong is still there. Many citizens recognized Xia Shaolai and gathered around her.
"Master Xia? Are you back?"
Xia Shao smiled and nodded to everyone, saying that she wanted to pay New Year greetings to her master. The citizens then moved out of the way and watched Xia Shao and others enter the back hall.
In the back hall, all Xuanmen disciples gathered in the hall except for those who were sitting in front and helping. Tang Zongbo sat in the middle of the hall with his head raised, his face majestic. Zhang Zhong first sat on the elder's seat on the left side of him, and the other disciples sat on the right side according to their seniority. The disciples with the lowest seniority stood behind their master.
Xia Shao came in. In the past, when she greeted Master for the New Year, she would always smile when they met, "Master, happy New Year, I want a red envelope." This year, however, she walked in with Xu Tianyin with a serious face, and the disciples all looked behind them.
Adam, and Angela.
