Along the small and narrow lanes of the city. Xia Yan has been heading south. On the way, even if someone saw Xia Yan, they wouldn't care too much. Xia Yan's attire, no matter how hard it is to think of the identity of the candidate for the head of the Xia family.
The mask on his face had been removed after leaving the auction house, and Xia Yan frowned tightly on his delicate and handsome face.
"These missing gold coins... so difficult!" Shaking his head, he thought to himself.
"If the shortage is only tens of thousands of gold coins, maybe we can find the patriarch to solve it. But these tens of thousands of gold coins! Our Xia family's Beifang City, the monthly profit is only tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"The family is so huge, adding up all kinds of expenses will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid the gold coins accumulated in the Xia family's treasury are not very many!"
Walking on the road, Xia Yan kept circling such thoughts in his mind.
"Um?!"
Xia Yan's eyes changed, and he stopped naturally.
"How did I get to the southern district of Xi's family? This southern district's Fangshi is the largest of the Xi's family, and it is also the main economic pillar of the Xi family. The business is really good! If this southern district's market collapses Now, it will be difficult for the Xi family!"
From a distance, Xia Yan saw many practitioners going in and out of Fangshi, Nanqu.
Although the reputation of the Xia family has been further improved because of Xia Yan's relationship, it is only in business. Relying on prestige alone cannot knock down opponents.
After all, the Xi family has also operated in Yushui City for hundreds of years, and there are many families and forces that are attached to the Xi family. Moreover, for such a long time, Xi's family also has many regular customers. It is impossible for these people to choose to do business with the Xia family and alienate the Xi family because of the growing reputation of the Xia family.
Unless... the Xi family is completely defeated and there is no hope of recovery, they may consider changing camps.
"The overall layout of Fangshi in the southern district is similar to that of our Xia family's Fangshi in the northern district." Xia Yan swept his eyes, and there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"Since you're here, let's go in and have a look!" After thinking about it in his mind, Xia Yan raised his foot and walked into the square market.
"Hey, Lao Li, why is the meat I bought yesterday not so fresh? Did you sell the meat that was not sold out the day before yesterday?!"
As soon as Xia Yan entered the Fangshi area, he heard a loud voice shouting from the side.
Looking over, Xia Yan saw that it was a bearded man who was grinning at a butcher shop.
In the square city, there are also various grocery stalls and butcher shops. As long as they can make a living, they can be seen here. Fangshi is actually a big market. However, this is a bazaar occupied by a family, and outsiders wanting to enter must obtain the consent of the family.
"Ah? What? Not fresh? Old Zhang. You said that! My Lao Li's butcher shop is not open every day. When did I cheat? These meats are all fresh meat that has just been slaughtered!" A round bald head protruded from the butcher's shop, shouting loudly at the bearded man.
It seems that these two people have known each other for many years, this old Zhang should often come here to buy meat.
"Really? I don't think it's too fresh anyway. Forget it, I'm going to buy some fabrics for the girls at home, and they've been clamoring for me to buy new clothes all day long, so I'm leaving first!" the bearded man stepped forward. Step forward quickly.
"Haha, you are really nice to your bitch, see you later." Lao Li laughed loudly!
Xia Yan was on the side, also shaking his head and chuckling.
In fact, a civilian life like this also has a lot of fun, and there is no need to worry about many things. However, they will never be able to appreciate the glory of the strong!
They can only look up to those strong men.
For example, if a strong man in the realm of spiritual master suddenly came to this square city, then I am afraid that there will be a shock soon, whether it is a cultivator or a commoner, they will definitely rush forward to look up. And marvel. who? Don't envy the real strong? But there are only a small number of people who can become truly strong! This small group of people has mastered most of the resources of the entire continent!
"Huh?!"
In a tea house a hundred meters away, a guard wearing Xi's costume changed his eyes. A sharp light shot out from his eyes.
He accidentally looked outside just now, and saw a familiar face.
Of course, he is the captain of the guard of Xijiafang City, so naturally he often sees familiar faces in Fang City. But this face made his heart tremble violently, and his whole body trembled.
"Why does this person look so much like that kid from the Xia family?!" The chief guard of Fang City frowned.
"Brother, what's the matter?!" A guard next to him looked at the chief guard in confusion, and said in surprise.
The chief guard pointed to the outside and said, "Look!"
Following the chief guard's gesture, the guard looked outside, only to see a young man in green shirt standing there, looking at the passers-by and the shops on both sides.
"Who is he?!" The guard had never seen Xia Yan. But the chief guard met Xia Yan in the competition for places not long ago, so he knew each other.
The chief guard was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the guard had never seen Xia Yan before, and then said in a deep voice: "He is the Xia Yan who is in the limelight of the Xi family. Recently, I heard that he was recently elected as the candidate for the head of the Xia family! Elder Lian Yes, all passed. In the future, he is likely to be the head of the Xia family!"
"Ah?!" The guard was taken aback. "He is that Xia Yan?!"
"Well, don't disturb him, let's see what he is going to do!" The chief guard nodded and said coldly.
…
"Patriarch!"
In the courtyard of Xia Family Mansion!
In the small courtyard where Xia Feilong lived, Xia Feilong had just had lunch and was talking to Xia Zixin about some cultivation matters when he heard a guard shouting outside.
"Come in!" Xia Feilong said to the outside of the courtyard.
The guard heard this, stepped towards the door, and walked in with a flash of his body.
This guard is on duty at the main gate of Xia's house today.
"What's the matter?!" Xia Feilong looked at the guard and asked.
"Just now, Miss Yafen from the Extreme Challenge venue sent a letter!" The guard bowed his head and said.
Xia Zixin next to her rolled her eyes and listened curiously.
"Oh? The Extreme Challenge venue?!" Xia Feilong couldn't help but pause. Generally, the Extreme Challenge venue does not come into contact with family forces alone. In the competition for places last time, Yafen made an exception and sat in Xia's seat, which was already very surprising. Now, they even sent someone to send a letter. What does this Yafen want to do
"This letter is for Master Xia Yan!" The guard continued with a blank expression.
"Give it to Xia Yan?!" Xia Feilong's eyes flashed, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Xia Zixin was even more puzzled, and Liu Mei frowned.
"Yes! But when I delivered the letter just now, Master Xia Yan is not in the mansion at the moment, so I had no choice but to deliver the letter to the patriarch!" As the guard spoke, he took out a golden letter from his pocket. The letter, took two steps forward, and delivered it to Xia Feilong.
Xia Feilong took the letter and read it.
"It is indeed a letter from the Extreme Challenge venue, well, you go down first!" Xia Feilong nodded to the guard.
"Yes! Patriarch!" The guard said respectfully, then took three steps back before turning and leaving the courtyard.
"Father, Yafen at the Extreme Challenge venue. Why are you looking for Xia Yan?!" Xia Zixin couldn't help asking after the guard had just left.
People in the Xia family didn't know that Xia Yan was Lingluo, so naturally they didn't know that Xia Yan had something to do with the Extreme Challenge venue. Yafen suddenly sent a letter to Xia Yan, no wonder they were puzzled.
"This..." Xia Feilong shook his head, "I don't know either, maybe Xia Yan knows Miss Na Yafen!"
Xia Feilong smiled.
Xia Zixin frowned slightly, and said, "How did Xia Yan know her? Xia Yan is only fifteen years old, and that Ya Fen is over twenty, right?!"
Xia Feilong waved his hand and said, "What does it matter? That Yafen is not an ordinary woman. In the extreme challenge venue, her status is second only to Li Tianlun. Moreover, in terms of appearance, there are not many people in Yushui City who can match her." Come on. If Xia Yan can be with her... hehe... "
The implication is already very clear.
If Xia Yan can get together with Yafen, then the relationship between the Xia family and the Extreme Challenge venue will be further deepened. At that time, even at the church meeting, wouldn't Li Tianlun, the deacon of the temple, not speak up for the Xia family
"But..." Xia Zixinqiong wrinkled her nose.
"When Xia Yan comes back, let's ask again! This kid, when did you meet Yafen? We don't know." Xia Feilong looked at the golden letter and said with a smile.
…
Xia Yan walked around the Fangshi in the Southern District, and asked about the prices of various commodities in front of some shops, which were not much different from Xia's Fangshi.
Xia Yan didn't want to cause trouble when he came here, so of course he wouldn't deliberately find fault.
The guards just followed from a distance.
"Brother, this guy killed Master Xi Qiushui. If we can take him down, the patriarch will definitely be happy, then we have made a great contribution!" A guard, with excited light flashing in his eyes, said in a low voice. The chief guard said in his ear.
The head of the guard stared, and slapped the guard on the head, "You are a pig's head! You don't even think about it. Xia Yan dares to come to Xijiafang City alone, can he have no support? Just rely on our strength , want to take him down too? Hmph, you have never seen his strength! He has already opened up one hundred and eight martial arts meridians!"
The guard was slapped and felt aggrieved.
After a pause, the chief guard said again: "Even if we can take him down by relying on the number of people, there will be a lot of noise. When the news spreads, will the Xia family give up? Don't even think about it, this Xia What is Yan's status now? The Xia family is candidate for patriarch! Hmph, if you still want to make meritorious service, you may lose your life by then!"
Upon hearing this, the guard suddenly stopped and patted his head.
