Patriarch 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 had a direct child, Xia Yan. Although Xia Yan is the son of the demon girl, he is Xia Dongsheng's son after all. 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 children. Even those collateral descendants didn't take Xia Yan seriously. In fact, many people in the family didn't regard Xia Yan as a descendant 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 said was. There were bursts of discussions among the crowd.
"Hmph, Xia Dongsheng is Xia Fu's son, and Xia Fu is my biological elder brother. Xia Yan, Xia Dongsheng's son, I regard as my direct grandson, and he is not dead yet! Xia Guqiu, let me ask you, do you have any?" Counting Xia Yan? Among the forty-two family members who participated in the selection, there is no Xia Yan, and the forty-third person you mentioned who was not present is Xia Mofei. Hmph, then you will 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 increased, and he asked sharply. The heavy oppressive breath made Xia Guqiu's breathing suffocate.
In fact, the reason why Xia Changhe was so furious was entirely because of Xia Guqiu's attitude. Xia Yan didn't get through his martial arts meridians, so it was obviously impossible for him to participate in this selection. Xia Changhe is also very clear about this. But Xia Guqiu ignored Xia Yan directly, which made him really angry. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Xia Yan had achieved something in cultivation, even if he had half the talent of his father, he wouldn't be so underestimated by other clansmen.
Xia Lai, father and son, can't treat him like nothing!
Xia Guqiu couldn't help but tremble when he was questioned by Xia Changhe. He didn't expect Xia Changhe to be so angry that he would talk about family affairs in front of so many outsiders. Although Xia Yan's matter is not a secret in Yushui City, but... Speaking of this now, it is undoubtedly a joke for the Wang family, the Xi family and those celebrities!
Xia Guqiu looked at the patriarch and the great elder with a bit of embarrassment on his face. Patriarch Xia Feilong gave him a hard look, as if blaming him for being presumptuous.
"Unexpectedly, the third elder Xia Changhe defended Xia Yan so much!"
"Yeah, Xia Yan... Xia Yan is Xia Dongsheng's son after all... I heard that Xia Yan has practiced for ten years, and he hasn't opened up a meridian yet. He is the famous Xia family's number one waste..."
"Xia Yan's mother is a witch from the Dark Night Continent..."
The disciples of the Xia family whispered in low voices!
"Hmph!" Great Elder Xia Lai flicked his sleeves fiercely and snorted coldly.
"Hehe, patriarch, elders. Although I, Xi Zijing, am an outsider here, I also know that Xia Yan is absolutely impossible to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the Xia family. I think the selection should start now, and it will take a while , but it's already noon!" Xi Zijing stood up, first bowed to the patriarch Xia Feilong and all 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 heard about Xia Yan's child. Alas, it's a pity that he can't practice. However, his father Xia Dongsheng is a genius in cultivation. Unexpectedly, in the future, he will definitely become a spiritual master and strengthen the Xia family." Wang Lan also stood up and said along the way, not knowing whether he was rejoicing or gloating, anyway, he couldn't really hope that Xia Dongsheng would not have any accidents.
Wang Lan is the representative sent by the Wang family. Seeing the disharmony within the Xia family, the two were naturally secretly happy. However, as guests, they should also stand up and say a few words at the right time.
Everyone who saw the Xi family and the Wang family spoke up, and some other celebrities in Yushui City also spoke up one after another.
Standing among the forty-two direct descendants of the Xia family, Xia Zixin, who was wearing a long blue dress, had a gloomy look on her pretty face, her brows were tightly frowned, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. She will never forget the brother-sister relationship with Xia Yan when she was a child, it was an innocent and happy memory. Seeing that the tribe was so indifferent to Xia Yan, Xia Zixin felt extremely sad, but even though she was the daughter of the patriarch, she couldn't change anything.
She is a daughter, if she hadn't decided long ago that she would never leave the Xia family, she would not be able to enter the Xia family's important martial arts hall to practice. In other words, even if she marries in the future, the other party must be allowed to marry into Xia's family instead of marrying into the other party's family.
"Okay, the selection has officially started!" Xia Feilong's face was solemn, and the golden fleece shone brightly in the sun. After a group of celebrities and the Xi family and the Wang family said something, Xia Feilong silenced all the voices.
Thousands of family members around were also silent. The entire square instantly became quiet.
The great elder Xia Lai rolled his dead fish eyes, glanced at Xia Changhe, and snorted again, before sitting down in his seat.
"Xia Guqiu, go and preside over the selection of the family's outstanding children!" Xia Feilong said to Xia Guqiu expressionlessly.
Xia Guqiu hurriedly bowed in response, and stepped back quickly.
The outstanding children of the family will select the strongest five members every three years. These five members will be selected within the family and shortly thereafter they will compete again with the outstanding children of the Xi family and the Wang family, because the three major families are enrolled in Ziye College. There are only five places for the assessment, so among the fifteen children of the three major families, only five can finally participate in the entrance examination of Ziye College.
…
"Xia Yan?!"
Xia Yan, who was rushing to the square of Xia's house, suddenly stopped when he heard someone calling him, and followed the sound with his eyes.
"Xia Mofei? The selection has already started, right? Why are you still here?!" Xia Yan was slightly startled, and asked quite unexpectedly.
Among the Xia family's children, Xia Mofei has relatively high talent. Moreover, Xia Mofei is one of the very few people in the Xia family who treat Xia Yan well, at least Xia Mofei has never ridiculed Xia Yan.
"Hey, I suddenly contracted an illness, so I can't participate in this assessment. Now, I am going 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 his spirit seemed to be very poor. Xia Mofei is also fifteen years old this year. If he misses this selection, he will have no chance to enter the entrance examination of Ziye College.
Xia Mofei looked at Xia Yan, smiled wryly and said, "Xia Yan, where did you go? Why did you do this?!"
At this moment, Xia Yan was in ragged clothes. In the past, although Xia Yan often wore ordinary green shirts full of wrinkles, he always washed them clean. Seeing Xia Yan's suitcase at this time, Xia Mofei knew where Xia Yan must have gone, so he asked casually.
"Oh, I've been cultivating 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 not made any progress in practicing for ten years, but he never gave up. He admired Xia Yan's spirit, but in his opinion, he was too stubborn.
"The selection has already started, I don't have time to go back and change into clean clothes, so I have no choice but to..." Xia Yan smiled lightly, he knew what Xia Mofei pursed his lips, but he was not going to explain anything.
Besides, 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 palm excitedly. This time, everyone in the Xia family will be shocked!
"What, you want to participate in this selection?!" Xia Mofei couldn't help opening his mouth wide and his eyes wide. The sickness on his face seemed to have weakened a bit. He never expected that Xia Yan would participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family. Xia Yan has practiced for ten years and has not even opened up a single martial arts meridian, which is familiar to even three-year-old children in Yushui City. But now, Xia Yan wants to participate in the selection of the family's outstanding children
