Chapter 37: Patrol of the Bazaar District
Xia Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing at this moment, remembering what he had seen in the palace during the day. His loud laughter shook the tiles, causing them to rattle and make a rustling sound.
"Oh? Elder Hu Ge, what's made you so cheerful all of a sudden?" Xia Fei Long looked at Elder Hu Ge in surprise, and his mind couldn't help but speculate, wondering if it was...
"Today, Xia Yan came to the pavilion to watch the secret manual. I saw him watching the human-level secret book 'Tian Gai Pi Lei Palm', and I was a bit angry in my heart. I thought he was young and eager for quick success, not understanding the importance of solid foundation, so I wanted to scold him. But unexpectedly, this child actually became immersed in it and practiced the 18 palm techniques of 'Tian Gai Pi Lei Palm' on the spot, making me both shocked and delighted!" Xia Yuan exclaimed loudly.
"What?" Xia Lei's expression suddenly froze like iron, his eyes widening abruptly.
"Is this really happening? Practicing the 18th move of the 'Tianxia Piliquan'? Isn't that completely revealing the 'Tianxia Piliquan'?" Xia Feilong's eyelids twitched rapidly, and he couldn't help but get up from his seat, excitedly saying.
Xia Zixin's face was stern, but her heart was filled with joy. She secretly glanced at the Great Elder Xia Lei and thought to herself, "See if you still believe it or not." Seeing Xia Lei's expression at this moment, Xia Zixin couldn't help but feel a thrill in her body. She had never seen Xia Lei lose his composure like this before.
"It's really like that, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed anyone who said that palm technique was practiced by a 15-year-old kid. Just looking at the palm technique, anyone would say that this is the kind of skill that can only be achieved after decades of practice!" Xia Yuan's face relaxed and he said happily.
If someone else said that, it might be suspicious, but since it came from Xia Yuan's mouth, it's basically unlikely to be wrong. Xia Yuan has been practicing the Tian Gang Thunder Palm for over 30 years and can't possibly make a mistake.
"How did Xia Yan manage to master the 'Tian Feng Lei Zhang'? Could it be that there's a master behind him guiding him?" Xia Fei Long muttered hesitantly, and this was the only possibility.
If it's said that Xia Yan understood it himself, no one would believe it.
"It's highly likely that when I asked him during the day, he just evaded my questions. It seems that this superior being didn't want us to know of his existence." Xia Yuan nodded and said with a flash of insight in her eyes.
"Heh heh, no matter what, Xia Yan is lucky to have received guidance from a superior person, which is also extremely beneficial for our Xia family. Who knows, maybe Xia Yan will become a spiritual master in the future, and then, heh heh, the status of our Xia family in Yushui City will be unshakeable! Hmph, the Wang and Xi families..." Xia Feilong chuckled to himself, his face twitching slightly.
"Yes, that's right, Patriarch. I think Xia Yan is a good kid and can be the focus of cultivation for the Xia family." Suddenly, Xia Yuan's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Xia Fei Long seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes slightly narrowing, a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth as he nodded lightly.
"Zix in, tomorrow you will go to the North District with Xia Yan and tell him what happened! Xiāgě Sāng, you can go back!" Xiahuidragon first said to Xiahui Zixin, then turned his gaze towards Xiahui Gesang.
Xia Ge San responded and turned away.
The conversation between the elder and others just now made Xia Ge San sweat profusely. The secret book of "Tian Feng Lei Palm" he also knew, in the scripture hall, he had also seen this precious human-level secret book, but the kung fu recorded on it he couldn't understand at all.
But Xia Yan, at such a young age, was actually able to master all the palm techniques of "Tian Fa Pi Li Quan", eighteen palm techniques! If he hadn't heard it with his own ears from the mouth of Hu Ge Daxia, he wouldn't have believed it was true.
Xia Lei walked out of the backyard of the clan elder's house, his expression had already returned to normal. Since Xia Yan was so excellent, it was also a good thing for the Xia family. As the eldest elder of the Xia family, he would not be annoyed by this, on the contrary, when he fully accepted Xia Yan, he felt extremely joyful in his heart.
……………………
On the second day, there were some floating clouds in the sky, and the sunlight was sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.
In the northern district of Fang City, a large group of people could be seen walking in from afar. Among them, a young man wearing a brocade robe with a subtle look of restlessness on his face, his eyes gleaming with a hint of malevolence.
"Heh heh, Autumn Water brother, after our ruckus yesterday, the North District Market of the Xia family has lost many customers. If we continue to cause trouble for a whole month, I'm afraid all the customers will run to our South District Market."
By the side of that young man, another young man from a noble family sneered and said with a sycophantic face.
"Of course, we're going to make the North District Market of the Xia family go bankrupt and let everyone from the Xia family go beg for food! Hehe, the Xia family...the Xia family will eventually be driven out of Yushui City by our Shi family." Shi Qiushui said with a cold smile, her eyes suddenly changed, and she turned to face the people behind her: "Everyone, just like yesterday, you all go to each store!"
When they heard Xiqiu Shui's order, the large group quickly dispersed and split up to find inns. They were all some local rascals from Yushui City, who spent their days idling about, but now had been rounded up by Xiqiu Shui. Originally, they didn't dare act wildly on the Xia family's turf, but Xiqiu Shui used heavy-handed tactics of intimidation and temptation, so they could only steel themselves and follow orders.
Next to Xi Qiushui, there was a man with a short beard on his chin, looking like he was over thirty years old. His eyes were shining brightly and his footsteps were steady and powerful, showing that he was an expert. He wore a cyan white brocade robe and held a silver steel spear in his hand.
At this time, Xia Yan and Xia Zixin were sitting in a nearby shop, watching Xi Qiushui's group come over with a gentle smile on Xia Yan's face.
"Xia Yan, how are you going to deal with these people?" Xia Zixi's beautiful eyes gazed at Xia Yan, her slender white fingers resting on a table.
"Just kick them out, there's nothing good to say about these people! If you have the ability, then there's no problem." Xia Yan said with a careless smile.
"Expel him?" Xia Zixin was taken aback for a moment, "But, Xi Qiushui is after all the young master of the Xi family, if..."
Xia Yan waved his hand to interrupt Xia Zixin's words, and with a flash of his eyes, he said: "Zixin, the best way to deal with these people is with fists. You just watch from the side later, let me drive them out."
"Thud thud thud~"
Xia Zixin was about to continue speaking when a man walked in from outside. The man was none other than Xia Gesang, the head of the town's guards.
Xia Ge San made a bow and said, "Inspector Zhang, those people have entered various shops, just like yesterday, and are loudly cursing our Xia family's street market."
"Hmm, you take people and clear out all those who are not cooperating, no need to be polite." Xia Yan said with a dark face, waving his hand.
At this moment, Xia Ge San felt as if he was standing in front of the clan leader, and the natural and effortless aura that Xia Yan exuded made him catch his breath.
Xia Ge San responded with a busy tone, then quickly turned around and left. Dealing with those thugs was too simple. As long as Xia Chang Yan had a way to stop Xi Qiu Shui and the expert beside him, everything would be easy to handle.
