Along the small and narrow alleys in the city, Xia Yan kept walking towards the south. Even if someone saw Xia Yan on the way, they would not pay too much attention. Xia Yan's dress did not make anyone think of the identity of the candidate for the head of the Xia family.
.
The mask on his face had been taken off after leaving the auction house. On his delicate and handsome face, Xia Yan's eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
"These missing gold coins... it's difficult!" He shook his head and thought to himself.
"If we only lack tens of thousands of gold coins, we might be able to find a solution to the problem with the clan leader. But with these hundreds of thousands of gold coins!! Our Xia family's North District Fangshi's monthly profit is only tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"The family is so large, and all the expenses added up will consume a lot of money. I'm afraid the accumulated gold coins in the Xia family's treasury are not very many!"
While walking on the road, Xia Yan kept thinking like this in his mind.
"Um?"
Xia Yan's eyes changed and his feet naturally stopped.
"How did I get to the Xi family's southern district market? This southern district market is the Xi family's largest market and the main economic pillar of the Xi family. The business is indeed good! If this southern district market collapses
It will be difficult for the Xi family!"
From a distance, Xia Yan could see many practitioners coming in and out of Fang City, South District.
Now, although the Xia family's reputation has been further improved because of Xia Yan's relationship, in business, relying solely on reputation cannot defeat the opponent.
After all, the Xi family has been operating in Yushui City for hundreds of years, and there are many families and forces that are dependent on the Xi family. Moreover, the Xi family has had many regular customers for such a long time. It is impossible for these people to be because of the Xia family
As his reputation grew, he chose to do business with the Xia family and alienated the Xi family.
Unless...the Xi family is completely defeated and there is no hope of a comeback, they may consider changing camps.
"The overall layout of South District Fangshi and our Xia family's North District Fangshi are similar." Xia Yan glanced over, and there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"Since you're here, let's go in and take a look!" After thinking about it, Xia Yan walked into the 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 walked into the Fangshi area, he heard a loud voice shouting next to him.
Looking over, Xia Yan saw a bearded man with a wide grin on his face facing a butcher shop.
In the market, there are also various grocery stalls, vegetable stalls and butcher shops. As long as there is a profitable business, you can see it here. The market is actually a big market. However, this is a market occupied by family forces.
If outsiders want to enter, they need the consent of the family.
"Ah? What? Not fresh? Lao Zhang, that's what you said! My Lao Li's butcher shop doesn't operate a day or two anymore. When did I cheat anyone? These meats are all fresh meat that has just been slaughtered!"
A round bald head stuck out of the butcher shop and shouted loudly to the bearded man.
It seems that these two people have known each other for many years, and Lao Zhang should come here often to buy meat.
"Really? It doesn't feel too fresh anyway. Forget it, I'm going to buy some fabrics for the ladies at home. They have been clamoring for me to buy new clothes all day long. I'll leave first!" After finishing speaking, the bearded man stepped out.
Step forward quickly.
"Haha, you are really nice to that bitch of yours, see you later." Lao Li laughed!
Xia Yan, who was standing by, also shook his head and chuckled.
In fact, 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 ones.
For example, if a powerful person in the spiritual master realm suddenly comes to this city, then there will probably be a shock soon. Whether they are cultivators or civilians, they will rush forward to look up and marvel. Who? No
Do you envy the truly strong? But there are only a small number of people who can become truly strong! This small number of people control most of the resources of the entire continent!
"Huh?"
In a teahouse a hundred meters away, a guard wearing Xi family clothes 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 was the guard captain of Xijiafang City, so he often saw familiar faces in Xijiafang City. But this face shocked his heart and made his whole body tremble.
"Why does this man look so much like that boy from the Xia family?" The chief guard of Fangshi frowned.
"Brother, what's wrong?" A guard next to him looked at the captain of the guard in confusion and said in surprise.
The captain of the guard pointed outside and said, "Look!"
The guard followed the guard captain's gesture and looked outside, only to see a young man in blue shirt standing there, looking at the passers-by and the shops on both sides.
"Who is he?" The guard had never met Xia Yan. But the head guard had met Xia Yan in the quota competition not long ago, so he knew him.
The head guard was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this guard had never seen Xia Yan before, and then said in a deep voice: "He is the popular Xia Yan of the Xi family. Recently, I heard that he has been selected as the candidate for the head of the Xia family! Elder Lian
Meeting, everything passed. From now on, he will probably be the head of the Xia family!"
"Ah?" The guard was shocked, "Is he that Xia Yan?"
"Well, don't disturb him, let's see what he does!" The guard chief nodded and said coldly.
"Clan leader!"
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 door of the courtyard.
After hearing this, the guard stepped towards the door and walked in in a flash.
This guard is on duty at the main entrance of the Xia family 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 lowered his head and bowed.
Xia Zixin, who was standing next to her, had her eyes wandering and listened curiously.
"Oh? Extreme challenge venue?"
What a surprise. Now, someone has sent another letter. What does Yafen want to do?
"This letter is for Master Xia Yan!" the guard continued without expression.
"To Xia Yan?" Xia Feilong's eyes flickered, with a strange look on his face.
Xia Zixin was even more confused, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes! But when I sent the letter just now, Master Xia Yan was not in the mansion at the moment, so I had to send the letter to the clan leader!" As the guard spoke, he took out a golden letter from his pocket.
He took two steps forward to deliver the letter to Xia Feilong.
Xia Feilong took the letter and read it.
"It is indeed a letter from the extreme challenge venue. Well, you can go down first!" Xia Feilong nodded and said to the guard.
"Yes! Patriarch!" the guard said respectfully, then took three steps back before turning and leaving the yard.
"Father, why is Yafen at the extreme challenge venue looking for Xia Yan?" Xia Zixin couldn't help but ask after the guard had just left.
People in the Xia family didn't know that Xia Yan was Ling Luo, so they certainly didn't know that Xia Yan was related to the Extreme Challenge venue. Yafen suddenly sent a letter to Xia Yan, so it's no wonder they were confused.
"This..." Xia Feilong shook his head, "I don't know, maybe Xia Yan and Miss Na Yafen know each other!"
Xia Feilong smiled.
Xia Zixin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "How could Xia Yan know her? Xia Yan is only fifteen years old, and that Yafen is over twenty, right?"
Xia Feilong waved his hand and said: "What does this have to do with it? Na 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 the entire Yushui City who can match her.
Go up. 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. By then, even at the church meeting, wouldn't Li Tianlun, who is the deacon of the church, not care for Xia?
Talking at home?
"But..." Xia Zixin wrinkled her nose.
"We'll ask Xia Yan when he comes back! When did this kid meet Yafen? We don't even know." Xia Feilong looked at the golden letter and said with a smile.
Xia Yan walked around the market in the South District and asked about the prices of various commodities in front of some shops. They were not much different from the Xia family's market.
Xia Yan didn't want to cause trouble when he came here, so of course he wouldn't deliberately seek trouble.
The few guards just followed from a distance.
"Brother, this guy killed Master Xi Qiushui. If we can take him down, the clan leader will definitely be happy. Then we will have made a great contribution!" A guard whispered with excitement in his eyes.
The head guard said in his ear.
The head guard glared, and slapped the guard on the head, "You are a pig head! Don't even think about it, this Xia Yan dares to come to Xijiafang City alone, how can he have no support? Just rely on our strength
, also want to capture him? Humph, you have never seen his strength! He has already opened up 108 martial arts meridians!"
The guard was slapped and felt a little aggrieved.
After a pause, the guard chief continued: "Even if we can capture him with our large numbers, it will cause a lot of noise. When the news gets out, will the Xia family give up? Don't think about it, this Xia
What is Yan's status now? He is a candidate for the patriarch of the Xia family! Humph, if you still think about making meritorious deeds, your life may be lost by then!"
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately stopped and touched his head.
