Chapter Fifty-Nine Young Master

  Xia Jia's great elder Xia Lei personally led a team of elite guards from the Xia family, rushing quickly towards Ju Fu Lou.

  "Ta-da-da~"

  The neat and rapid footsteps caused the pedestrians on the long street to stop and watch, some people recognized that they were the Xia family guards and couldn't help but speculate what this pair of majestic guards was going to do.

  In the Jade Water City, it's rare to see a big family making such a big fuss. The leader of the group was actually the highly respected and esteemed elder of the Xia family, Xia Lei. If it wasn't for something extremely important, there's no way Elder Xia would personally lead the group.

  Although the sun had already slanted to the west, the scorching heat in the air hadn't weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, it seemed to have intensified by a few degrees compared to high noon. Shale's face was expressionless, his complexion gloomy, and his footsteps steady and powerful as he walked at the forefront of the group, holding a long sword made of blue steel. The scorching sunlight shone down on everyone, yet somehow it seemed like no one felt it at all.

  …………

  "Miss Wang, please go back! A thousand thanks for your kind invitation. I'm deeply honored to have had the chance to dine with you at Jufu Building today."

  After descending from the Gathering Fortune Building and passing through the Glazed Tile Gate, Xia Yan lightly made a fist and bowed to the beautiful and charming Wang Yuyan, smiling as he spoke.

  Wang Yu Yan's crimson lips pursed slightly, her soft waist subtly curving, "Hehe, if Young Master Xia can give a humble lady face, it would be an honor for the lady. However, not being able to exchange blows with Young Master Xia is somewhat regrettable."

  Wang Yu Yan was still somewhat resentful that she couldn't gauge Xia Yan's martial skills. Her intention in inviting Xia Yan to dinner today was precisely to probe into his background clearly. But Xia Yan had directly refused her, and perhaps it was exactly because of his unyielding refusal that she felt resentful.

  If it were an ordinary man, who would dare to directly refuse her request in front of her? Wang Yuyan was still extremely confident in her own charm, but all of this seemed to lose its original power in the face of Xia Yan. One of the four great beauties of Yu Shui City, she was actually ignored by a young man of the same age, which also made Wang Yuyan feel indignant.

  "Hehe, in the quota competition half a month later, I will definitely not disappoint Miss Wang!" Xia Yan's eyes sparkled as he said with a smile.

  He's showing his sharp tongue!

  Wang Yu Yan's willow eyebrows twitched slightly, her chest heaved up and down a few times, but she didn't reveal any other expression.

  "That little girl is waiting with bated breath!" Wang Yu Yan's eyes sparkled, her fingers slid lightly over the hem of her long skirt, and it had to be said that every frown and smile she made had an enormous power.

  Unfortunately, these seemed to have no effect on Xia Yan. Li Yuanchun, who was standing beside Xia Yan, didn't even glance at her for two breaths' time.

  "Xiang Ge, are you leaving now? Do you want me to send you back?" Zhang Yun also walked to the entrance of the building and smiled as he called out to Xia Yan.

  In the grand hall, those who were dining, apart from traveling merchants between the two cities, were mostly prominent and wealthy families of Jade Water City. These people had almost all heard of Zhang Yun and seen him before.

  They were already shocked, astonished and bewildered when they saw Wang Yuyan personally send Xia Yan down. Now, seeing Zhang Yun rush down from the building, passionately saying such a sentence to Xia Yan, those diners who were originally putting food in their mouths were all stunned like stone statues.

  "It's all right, Young Master Zhang, Young Master Liu, you can both leave!" Xia Yan waved his hand. He didn't have any bad feelings towards Zhang Yun and the others, but he also didn't want to get too close to them. Xia Yan's goal was not something that these young masters could imagine. These young masters might only be thinking about protecting their family's assets in Yushui City, but Xia Yan wanted to challenge the Master of the Holy Temple and become the new Master!

  Zhang Yun's mouth twitched as he said, "Sheng Ge, if you can still look up to me, then from now on, just call me Xiao Liu Zi."

  "Brother Yan, from now on you can call me Xiao Dezi. As long as Brother Yan has any orders, I Liu Dezhen will not decline." Liu De said immediately beside him.

  Xia Yan shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Alright, I'm going back now. You all take care! See you another day!"

  When Xia Yan said this, Zhang Yun and Liu De both became excited, their eyes shining brightly.

  After bidding farewell to Wang Yu Yan again, Xia Yan and Li Yuan Chun finally walked out of the Jifu Building. Li Yuan Chun had a strange expression on his face, thinking that these young masters were sometimes really quite lovable. Li Yuan Chun took another look at Xia Yan, secretly thinking that when they first met, he hadn't noticed anything different about Xia Yan, just like an ordinary person born into an ordinary family. But unexpectedly, his identity was so extraordinary, in the county town of Yushui City, probably one of the top young masters. With such an identity, yet able to remain hidden and not reveal himself, it's really rare. Moreover, when he first saw Xia Yan, although he noticed that he was a cultivator, he never could have imagined that he would be able to defeat Xu Huan!

  "Ta-da-da~"

  Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun had just walked out of the glazed tiles when they saw a team of people rushing towards them. This team was dressed in the same attire, with uniform footsteps and steady figures.

  "Huh?" Xia Yan softly exclaimed "huh", he focused his attention and looked, only to see that the leader of this team of guards was actually Elder Xia Lai.

  "Xia Yan, do you know these people?" Li Yuanchun asked casually upon seeing Xia Yan's expression.

  Xia Yan smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "It's our Xia family's guardian, the leader is the Great Elder!"

  Seeing the great elder leading people to rush to Jufu Building, Xia Yan knew what the great elder was going to do. The great elder would not possibly make a big fuss and bring so many guards if he just wanted to eat. Moreover, due to the subtle relationship between the three major families, the great elder usually wouldn't come to Jufu Building for meals either.

  "Oh? The Xia family's guards?" Li Yuanchun looked at the team of guards again, this team of guards were all quite skilled, looking like they had all opened up 70 or 80 meridians, it was clear that the Xia family's power was not to be underestimated.

  "Yes!" Xia Yan nodded.

  At this time, Charle and a team of guards had approached.

  Wang Yu Yan and the others had not left yet, still behind the crystal gate. Seeing the large team of people from the Xia family coming, Wang Yu Yan's face suddenly changed greatly, and her originally smiling and lovely face was now filled with solemnity.

  "What is Xia's family going to do?" Wang Yuyan thought in her heart.

  Zhang Yun and Liu De, seeing so many Xia family guards coming, the leader was still Xia Lai, the great elder of the Xia family, gulped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  Only three major families would have such elite guards. A second-rate family like Zhang Yun's wouldn't possibly have so many elite guards.

  The diners on the first floor, who had already focused their attention here, were now eager to pop out their eyeballs. Sweat beads slowly seeped out of their foreheads, and they felt a chill in their hearts, thinking that perhaps the Xia family and the Wang family were going to start a war, and the Xia family had sent someone to destroy Jufu Building?

  "Great Elder!"

  Xia Yan made a fist and bowed to the elder.

  Great Elder Xia Lei's gaze swept across, and he said in a deep voice: "Xia Yan, is anyone giving you trouble?"

  A sharp gaze, passing through the crystal gate, fell directly on Wang Yuyan's body. Wang Yuyan was stared at by this gaze, and her slender body trembled slightly. Xia Lei had killed many people and spirit beasts in his life, and his aura suddenly burst out, if Wang Yuyan could remain calm and composed, that would be a rare thing.

  "Master Xia Yan!"

  More than twenty guards, in unison, shouted "Attention!" with loud voices and saluted.
