Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven Patriarch Candidates
Chapter 127 Candidates for the Patriarch
"yes!"
Xia Yan nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his feet and walked to the empty seat.
Originally, there were only ten seats at the elder's table, but now, there are eleven. Obviously, this last seat was specially prepared for Xia Yan.
"Xia Yan, have you encountered difficulties in cultivation recently? In our Xia family's scripture pavilion, you can go in and read the scriptures at any time. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also talk to me and the elders." After a pause, Xia
Feilong smiled and said: "Although you have been canceled from participating in the Ziye Academy's assessment, it doesn't matter. Even if you don't enter Ziye Academy, with the speed of your cultivation, sooner or later you will be able to step into the realm of a spiritual master."
The other elders also nodded and looked at Xia Yan appreciatively.
"Xia Yan, your talent is the best among the children of our Xia family. In the past hundred years, there has never been a child in the Xia family who has opened up 108 martial arts meridians at the age of fifteen. Your father was also seventeen at the time.
It was only when you were 18 years old that you opened up all the martial arts meridians. However, you must not be proud at any time. This is a taboo for cultivators." Xia Changhe said slowly in a condensed voice.
Xia Yan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Xia Yan knows that he will never let down the clan leader and the elders."
No one knows that Xia Yan has entered the realm of spiritual masters yet! If they find out, they don't know what kind of reaction they will have.
There is probably no other cultivator who has entered the realm of spiritual masters at the age of fifteen in the entire Ziye City area.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Yan is a genius rarely seen in a century.
"Clan leader, elders, I still want to go to Ziye College to take the assessment in September!" Xia Yan's eyes suddenly flashed.
"oh?"
Xia Feilong was stunned and looked at Xia Yan in surprise. Several other elders also took a breath and looked at Xia Yan.
After a slight pause, Xia Yan continued: "Purple Leaf Academy recruits students from the entire continent. Even if there is no recommendation from the Holy Church, I don't think they will push outstanding students out of the gate, right?"
"Ha ha……"
Xia Feilong suddenly laughed.
"Xia Yan, you are right. If you don't give it a try, no one will know how to take it. In this way, when the time comes, you and Zi Xin and the others can go together. Even if you can't enter Ziye College in the end, it doesn't matter."
Feilong nodded and smiled.
"Yes!" Xia Yan responded.
"Now, let's talk about the purpose of our Presbyterian meeting today." Xia Feilong's eyes changed.
Elders, in fact, have already known the purpose of this elders meeting. Yesterday, they received a message from the clan leader, asking them to rush back from various places in time.
"Not long ago, Xia Yan completed the experience of the Sinful Forest alone. Three days ago, he drove away the evil beasts in the wilderness. Although he is only fifteen years old, he already has the ability to stand on his own. Everyone, I think everyone agrees with me.
They have the same idea. Today, the Presbyterian Council has officially established Xia Yan as the candidate for the next clan leader!" Although Xia Feilong's voice was not loud, he lingered in the conference hall for a long time.
Xia Yan was shocked when he heard this!
Candidate for clan leader?
Although Xia Yan also heard the news not long ago, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, the matter was serious. But now, the clan leader said it in person at the elders' meeting, and it seemed to be a certainty.
Xia Yan is actually not very interested in this candidate for clan leader. He still has too many things to do. If he becomes the clan leader, he will definitely have many more ties.
For Xia Yan, this is not a good thing.
"The clan leader and I have the same intention!" the great elder said first.
"Haha, there is no doubt about Xia Yan's ability!" The third elder also laughed.
"Yes, I agree!" The fifth elder nodded.
…
"But..." Xia Yan frowned.
"Um?"
"What?"
"..."
Suddenly, Xia Feilong and all the elders looked at Xia Yan in shock.
Under the astonished gazes of all the elders, Xia Yan stood up, smiled bitterly, and muttered: "Chief, elders, I am only fifteen years old, I'm afraid..."
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that after hearing this news, you will only feel excitement and excitement in your heart. But Xia Yan actually said such a sentence, obviously he did not want to be the candidate for the clan leader.
Clan leader Xia Feilong and all the elders were shocked. They never expected that Xia Yan would be unwilling.
"Xia Yan!" Third Elder Xia Changhe's face darkened.
"Third Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to, but I just want to concentrate on my cultivation now. If I take this position, it may affect my cultivation." Xia Yan said quickly.
Xia Feilong and several elders looked at each other and were a little silent for a while.
After a while, Xia Feilong said: "Xia Yan, this candidate for clan leader will not affect your cultivation. Now, I am still the head of the Xia clan. You will only take over when I am no longer in this position. Of course,
It's just a possibility. Maybe, our Xia family will have a second candidate for the clan leader, and a third candidate for the clan leader, do you understand?"
"Besides, the clan leader must reach the realm of a spiritual master. Before you reach the realm of a spiritual master, I will not abdicate unless I die." Xia Feilong paused and continued.
"Xia Yan, even if you are a candidate for clan leader, you can still go to Ziye City to practice, study, and experience. This is not a contradiction!" Great Elder Xia Lai's eyes flashed.
"Yeah!" Xia Yan could only nod.
Now the arrow is on the string and must be fired! At the elders' meeting, Xia Yan could not refuse the request of the clan leader and the elders.
"Haha, since everyone has no problem, I will announce the news after the elders' meeting is over." Xia Feilong looked at Xia Yan and said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, clan leader, and all the elders." Xia Yan bowed and said.
"You kid, stop doing this. You don't look happy at all. Humph, you can't thank us sincerely." The seventh elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Xia Yan.
After hearing the seventh elder's words, Xia Yan could only smile bitterly.
"After this news is announced, I will no longer be able to show my face in front of others." Xia Yan thought to himself, "In the future, I will go out as Ling Luo. Fortunately, in half a month, I will go to Ziye City."
As a candidate for the head of the Xia family, this status is not simple. It is estimated that as soon as the news spreads, the entire Yushui City will be excited. The Xi family and the Wang family will also raise Xia Yan's level to a higher level.
The next patriarch of the Xia family is very likely to be Xia Yan. Moreover, this is not only the status of the patriarch of one of the three major families, but also the deacon of the temple, and one of the more powerful deacons of the temple.
The Holy Church controls the entire Yushui City. This glory is like a bright halo, attracting everyone's attention wherever it goes.
Just like if the current patriarchs of the three major families go out in public, they will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention.
…
"Brother Xia Liu!"
"Click rub rub~"
In Xia Liu's courtyard, Xia Youzhi, a descendant of the Xia family, ran in quickly. Xia Liu had just finished practicing his martial arts when he heard Xia Youzhi's voice, and then saw Xia Youzhi running in from the courtyard door in a hurry.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xia Youzhi took a few breaths, "Then...then...the Presbyterian meeting today..."
Xia Youzhi was gesturing wildly with his fingers, still breathing heavily.
"Presbyterian meeting?" He looked at it intently. The Presbyterian meeting was held today. Children of the Xia family like Xia Liu naturally knew it.
"Yes! The Council of Elders..., the clan leader, and all the elders... approved Xia Yan as the candidate for clan leader." Xia Youzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Candidate for the clan leader?" Xia Liu's body was shaken.
"Yes. Brother Xia Liu, the news has been announced. I was in the martial arts hall just now, so I heard the news first. Now, Mashan will inform you." Xia Youzhi said.
Xia Liu's face turned gloomy, he shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I will never be as good as Xia Yan in this life. Haha, let's go together to congratulate Xia Yan later!"
Xia Liu smiled bitterly and said, feeling a little lonely in his heart.
A few months ago, Xia Yan was still a waste that he stepped on, but now, he was already a being that he could only look up to.
"Ah? But..." Xia Youzhi was stunned. His relationship with Xia Yan was even worse.
"There's nothing wrong with it, You Zhi. We were wrong to treat Xia Yan the way we did before. Alas, I hope Xia Yan can achieve the realm of a spiritual master as soon as possible! If our Xia family has two spiritual masters, then the Wang family and the Xi family,
Then we can't compete with our Xia family." Xia Liu waved his hand and interrupted Xia Youzhi.
Xia Youzhi's eyes flashed, his mouth twitched and he was speechless.
At the same time, the news that Xia Yan was the candidate of the Xia family quickly spread from the conference hall. Within half a day, all the direct descendants of the Xia family in Yushui City knew about it.
Of course, this news also reached the ears of the heads of the Wang family and the Xi family, as well as those slightly smaller families and forces.
Before this, they might have only regarded Xia Yan as an outstanding disciple of the Xia family. But now, it has completely changed. Many forces are beginning to think about how to deal with Xia Yan.
In their hearts, Xia Yan's status has been elevated from an outstanding member of the Xia family to someone who needs to be fawned over.
"Hehe, it's just as I expected, Brother Yan!" Zhang Yun from the Zhang family, his eyes sparkled after hearing the news, and he smiled proudly.
"Come here, prepare your carriage and horses to go to Xia's house!" Zhang Yun shouted to the door.
"Yes, Master!" The servant outside the door responded quickly.
Zhang Yun's father is also the deacon of the church. Zhang Yun is the handsome young master of the Zhang family whom Wang Yuyan met when he first invited Xia Yan to dinner at Jufulou. He was very respectful to Xia Yan and treated him like brother Yan.
"This young master has the foresight to establish a good relationship with Brother Yan first, and it will be easier to get along with him in the future! Humph, if we establish a relationship with the Xia family, the power of our Zhang family will be even greater in Yushui City. Look at my father.
, and you can’t tell me that I don’t do anything serious all day long!” Zhang Yun hummed a tune and asked his maid to tidy up his clothes, and then walked out of the room leisurely with eight-character steps.
