Chapter Thirty-Eight Give You One Minute

  "Xiao Ye... Xiao Ye..."

  Just as Xi Qiushui was complacently narrowing his eyes to gaze at the sky, a local rascal rushed over, shouting and flustered.

  As the local ruffian rushed over, Xi Qiushui only then noticed that this local ruffian's nose was blue and his eyes were swollen from being beaten. Before he could even ask what had happened, many of the local ruffians he had brought with him came tumbling in from all directions, crying out for their fathers and mothers, with quite a few of them having been beaten to look like pigs' heads.

  Xiqiu's face changed slightly, and he asked sternly: "What's going on with you guys?"

  "You scoundrels, get out of here quickly! If you dare to cause trouble in the market again, next time it won't be so easy!" A loud shout came from not far away, it was Xia Ge San, the head of the Xia family guards, leading a group of Xia family guards.

  Xiqiu's eyes narrowed, and he chuckled: "Xiagesang, it seems you've forgotten yesterday's lesson?"

  Xia Ge San is the head of the Xia family's northern district, and Xi Qiu Shui also knows him. Yesterday, Xia Ge San was stopped by a thug, but was shot down to the ground by an expert next to Xi Qiu Shui, losing face terribly. If not for the opponent showing mercy, he might have been injured.

  Xia Ge San heard this and didn't care at all, haha laughed and said: "Xi Qiu Shui, it's you again!"

  When Xia Ge San spoke with Xi Qiu Shui, many merchants and guests from the surrounding streets had already gathered to watch. In the North District street market, about half of the shops were operated by the Xia family, while the other half were rented out to some merchants in Yu Shui City. The important shops in the street market were all occupied by the Xia family themselves, such as the weapon shop and the medicinal material shop.

  "That's right, it's me, the young master! Xia Ge San, you're not my match, I think you'd better leave early. If you don't know what's good for you, then you won't be as lucky as yesterday." Xi Qiushui said with a gloomy smile, his eyes containing a hint of killing intent.

  "The leader of the guards was defeated by that gunman yesterday, and he won't be a match for him today either. What are we going to do? If this continues for a few more days, our business will be ruined." A merchant sighed and said anxiously.

  "Yes, why didn't the Xia family send an elder to drive away that Xi Qiushui?"

  "This autumn water is too hateful!"

  ……

  "Haha, Xi Qiushui, today there is Inspector Zhang here, if you dare to cause trouble, Inspector Zhang will definitely not let you off." Xia Ge San said with a smile, full of confidence.

  Chang Xiaoyan was able to defeat the master who held a gun next to Shi Qiushui with his human-level secret book, and it wasn't a difficult task.

  "Oh? Patrol leader? Which elder of the Xia family is it?" Xi Qiushui was slightly stunned, then smiled and asked. He had expected that the Xia family would take action because of yesterday's events. Sure enough, the patrol leader came today.

  "It's me!"

  At this time, a man and a woman walked out of a low house, who were Xia Yan and Xia Zixing. Xia Zixing was elegant and refined, while Xia Yan was handsome and gentle, both being the best among the young generation of the Xia family.

  Of course, before the selection of excellent young men in the Xia family, Xia Yan was just a laughing stock in the Xia family. The difference between before and after is really huge!

  "Who is this person?"

  "Who is he? Never seen him before, and yet he's our town's Inspector?"

  A low murmur of discussion spread through the crowd.

  Xi Qiushui did not expect that the patrol chief of Xiajia North District would also be a young man. He furrowed his brow, staring at Xia Yan who walked out of the shop. Then he slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "The patriarch and elders of the Xia family must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, sending such a young person to stop me! Don't they know I have helpers by my side?"

  Shaking her head, she shifted her gaze to Xia Zixin. Xia Zixin was elegant and refined, as beautiful as a celestial being. Xi Qiushui had been thinking about Xia Zixin since the first time they met, and now that she saw her again, her heart skipped a beat.

  "Xia Zixin, I heard you've already opened up 96 of the martial arts meridians. That's impressive! Haha, if I open up all 99, I'll buy them for you. Although you're a few meridians short compared to me, you're a woman, so it's fitting that you'd be with me. Why don't you come back with me to the Xi family and become my wife?" Shi Qiushui said with a sly grin.

  "You..." Xia Zixing's teeth were clenched, her slender fingers grasped the hilt of her sword tightly, ready to draw it out and behead the scoundrel in front of her.

  Xia Yan blocked Xia Zixing, smiled and looked at Xi Qiushui, saying slowly: "Xi Qiushui, I give you one minute to leave the North District Market, otherwise I will kick you like a ball."

  Xia Yan's voice was neither rushed nor slow, without any overbearing tone, just like friends joking around.

  But as soon as he said this, it caused a stir.

  "Which young master of the Xia family is this, to be so overbearing? Even the head guard Xia Ge San can't defeat them, how can this young patrol leader be their match?"

  Although almost everyone has heard of Xia Yan's great name, few people know Xia Yan.

  "Ah...... it's Xia Yan!" Someone who had seen Xia Yan before recognized him.

  "What's up?"

  "There's also Xia Yan, the first waste of the Xia family!" a merchant said with a pale face.

  "Unbelievable! How could the Xia family appoint him as the Inspector of Beiqu Fang?"

  "It's all over, it's all over, Hokuto is finished."

  Obviously, many people are unaware of Xia Yan's performance in the family's excellent junior selection. However, even if they knew, they wouldn't think that Xia Yan could drive away Xi Qiushui and others.

  ……

  "You stinky little brat, who are you?" Xi Qiushui's face suddenly darkened and he glared at Xia Yan with malice.

  He didn't know Xia Yan either, Xia Yan rarely left the house in the Xia family, so it was naturally difficult for Xi Qiushui to meet Xia Yan.

  "I am Xia Yan, newly appointed inspector of Beizhen District!" Xia Yan nodded slightly with a continuous smile, "You don't have much time left now."

  "What's with Xia Yan?" Xi Qiushui furrowed his brow, "Hahaha... isn't Xia Yan just the useless thing from the Xia family? Haha, Xia Yan? The Patrol Chief of Beiqu Fangshi? Xia Zixing, has your father gone mad? He actually appointed this useless thing as the Patrol Chief of Fangshi!"

  Xiqiu Shui looked at Xia Zixin and said sarcastically without reserve.

  Xia Zixin was so angry that her flower-like fingers trembled, her teeth clenched tightly, and her powdered face was covered with a layer of frost. She wished she could use the three-foot green sword in her hand to stab this bastard's body with more than a dozen transparent holes. As the eldest daughter of the Xia family, who would dare to speak like that normally? So although she was clever and quick-witted, she suddenly didn't know how to refute Xi Qiushui.

  "Brother Qiushui, Xia Yan is the most outstanding young master among the Xia family's selection of excellent young masters over the years." The young master from the Xi family next to Xi Qiushui raised an eyebrow and whispered a reminder in his ear.

  Xiqiu's face changed slightly, he had also heard his father mention it once, but at the time he didn't pay attention and now he had forgotten.

  Xia Yan didn't get angry, the smile on his face hadn't disappeared, he just let out a slight sigh and said: "Alright, Xi Qiushui, since you don't want to leave, then I'll beat you away."
