Novel Full Chapter 249 Xia Family Tournament III
“Hmm? Why did that woman appear in this place?” Zhu Yuhe said with a raised eyebrow, after she recognized the woman’s identity.
“Isn’t she always like that, Yuhe? She is always present where there is competition, because she is always looking for new talent for the Vermilion Imperial Sect.” Zhou Xuan said with chuckle, she then turned to Liu Ying, and asked. “Isn’t that woman your former Master, Ying’er?”
Liu Ying nodded in agreement, as she inwardly spoke. ‘Master? Why did she come here?’
The black-haired middle-aged woman was slightly surprised when she saw Liu Ying sitting behind Zhu Yuhe, and she only nodded slightly at them. Then she turned to Xia Luo, and asked. “I want the two of them to join the Vermilion Imperial Sect. Do you mind that, Patriarch Xia?”
Xia Luo didn’t immediately answer her question because he was shocked, of course he knew how prestigious the Vermilion Imperial Sect was, he himself wished his two children could join the sect, but the sect had no interest in them.
“As long as they are both willing, Elder Meng Yao.” Xia Luo replied with a heavy heart, he then glanced at his children, and could only sigh inwardly.
Meng Yao nodded, then she faced the two young people. “What are the names of the two of you? And do you guys want to join the Vermilion Imperial Sect?”
The short brown haired woman exchanged glances with the muscular young man, and nodded towards each other, then they said to Meng Yao.
“Fang Fang! I’m willing to join, Elder Meng.” The young woman with short brown hair answered as she bowed slightly to Meng Yao.
The muscular young man then also answered, as he cupped his hands. “Lin Yan, I am also willing to join, Elder Meng.”
“Good!” Meng Yao smiled with satisfaction seeing their answers, then she took out two jade tokens, and handed them both. “From today onwards, the two of you will become inner disciples of the Vermilion Imperial Sect, and this jade token is your identity.”
“Thank you, Elder!” Fang Fang and Lin Yan replied in unison, as they received the jade tokens.
But suddenly, the atmosphere in the place became noisy, due to the arrival of the three people. And some of the patriarchs who recognized them immediately stood up, especially after they saw the little girl who was being carried by the man.
Xia Luo and Xia Sheng were darkened and felt very annoyed by their arrival, especially the arrival of that man. Their gazes only focused on him, not noticing the strangeness of the little girl in his arms.
Unlike her father and big brother, Xia Wu looked at the man with a strange feeling, and the look in her eyes showed great interest, even her cheeks were flushed. ‘Cousin Tian has really changed compared to before, he looks calmer and more mature now, for some reason I feel a strange aura about him, and it makes me feel attracted to him.’
The three people were Xia Tian, ??Qiao Xiao, and also Xia Ning. Those people were no longer surprised by Xia Tian’s presence, because the news of his spiritual root restoration had spread widely, but what surprised them was that Qiao Xiao was so close to him.
“It seems that the patriarchs recognize you, Xiao’er.” Xia Tian said as he walked towards the Xia Manor family place.
At first, he just wanted to go with Xia Ning, but Qiao Xiao decided to come with them, because she was annoyed with Murong Mengxin’s laziness. And as he expected, everyone involved in the war against Hong Chen immediately recognized Qiao Xiao.
“Hehe, just leave them like that.” Qiao Xiao replied with a chuckle, then she turned to Meng Yao with a frown. “Who is that woman? She even tried to probe our cultivation.”
“Hmm?” Xia Tian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Meng Yao, and he was a little surprised to see the symbols on his clothes. “It seems she is an elder from the Vermilion Imperial Sect.”
“Oh? Her cultivation isn’t even as high as your other women, but she seems to look down on this little girl.” Qiao Xiao said as she pointed at Xia Ning who was walking beside them.
Even though Xia Ning already knew that Qiao Xiao was already very senior, but with her appearance like a ten year old little girl, it gave her goosebumps whenever Qiao Xiao referred to her as a little girl.
“En, Ning’er’s aptitude in cultivation is indeed low, but that shouldn’t be a problem for now, since I can increase her aptitude later.” Xia Tian spoke calmly so that they wouldn’t eavesdrop, as that would cause him trouble later.
“Oh that pill!” Qiao Xiao softly exclaimed as she remembered her pill, then she took out a sizable pill bottle from her storage ring, and gave it to Xia Tian. “Those are Talent Growth Pills, I just remembered that I still have them.”
“Eh? You keep this much?” Xia Tian asked in shock after he checked the number of pills in the bottle.
“What else can I do besides alchemy?” Qiao Xiao nonchalantly replied, it made Xia Tian smile bitterly.
“Brat! You’ve finally come!” Xia Ling immediately shouted at him, as soon as they arrived at the Xia Manor family place. “You too Ning’er-”
“Stop it, husband!” Leng Youxin interrupted Xia Ling, and then she looked at Xia Tian and Xia Ning suspiciously. “You two sit down, don’t mind the old man.”
‘Did you break through, Tian?’ Liu Ying whispered to Xia Tian after he sat down next to her, and Xia Tian nodded in response.
‘So that young man is Ying’er’s son?’ Meng Yao narrowed her eyes at Liu Ying and Xia Tian, ??as she said in her heart. She then brought Fang Fang and Lin Yan back to where she had been sitting before.
