In the main hall, Xia Zhenming ordered someone to bring the highest-grade tea. After a few people were polite, Song Jian said to Xia Zhenming: "Chief Xia, to be honest, I came here today because I have something to ask for!" Xia Zhenming had already guessed that Song Jian and others were coming this time. , should be asking for help from others. He immediately smiled and said: "Brother Song Jian, tell me what you have to say!" Song Jian was not polite and said directly: "I came here this time to find a female disciple of your family." "Female disciple?" Xia Zhenming asked "Who is it?" "Xia You!" Song Jian said. When Song Jian said the name Xia You, Xia Zhenming was slightly startled, and his expression changed slightly. Song Jian did not see this change, but He Qiming did. "Brother Song Jian, are you looking for Xia You? Unfortunately, she is not in the sect now." Xia Zhenming looked at Song Jian with a smile. "Not there?" Song Jian was slightly shocked, because when he was in Haotian Imperial City, he knew clearly that Xia You had returned to the Huoluan family. "Yes, it seems that Brother Song Jian's trip will be in vain this time." Xia Zhenming said with a smile. "Clan Chief Xia, do you know where Xia You went? My boss has been looking for sister Xia You for a long time." Zhizhi hurriedly asked Xia Zhenming. He Qiming looked at Xia Zhenming. Although he said nothing, there was something strange in his heart. "I'm really sorry, we don't know Xia You's whereabouts. Family disciples don't need to tell the family where they are going when they go out for training." Xia Zhenming explained. Song Jian and Zhizhi looked at each other, their eyes filled with disappointment. When Song Jian was a little disappointed, he only heard He Qiming's voice message to Song Jian. "Junior brother, it seems that the Xia You you are looking for is unusual in the Huoluan family. I just saw clearly that when you said Xia You's name, there was a flash of strangeness on Xia Zhenming's face. . If I guessed correctly, Xia Zhenming must be lying!" He Qiming is also the leader of a large sect, and he is also very good at observing people's emotions. "What? Senior brother, what do you mean by senior brother, Xia You shouldn't have gone out to practice?" Song Jian was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhenming who was sitting in the seat. "But why did he want to lie to me?" Song Jian asked He Qiming doubtfully. He Qiming sent a message: "I don't know this either. However, it won't be difficult to know if Xia You is in the clan." "Elder brother, do you have any idea? Tell me quickly, what should I do? "Song Jian was anxious. "Junior brother, there is no need to worry. I think Xia Zhenming should have guessed your purpose of coming. So if Xia You is here, he will definitely find a way to let us leave early." He Qiming sent a message to Song Jian. Song Jian thought about it and thought that what He Qiming said was very reasonable. It's just that Song Jian is very confused. With his status, although the Huoluan family is powerful, but because of a female disciple of the family, logically speaking, he should not be embarrassed. Immediately, He Qiming smiled at Xia Zhenming and said, "Brother Xia, it's okay if Xia You is not here. There is actually one more thing I need your help with when I come here this time." After hearing this, Xia Zhenming looked at He Qiming and said, " Brother He, please tell me!" "I urgently need to refine a furnace of elixirs, and I want to borrow your family's sky fire. It will take about a hundred years." He Qiming casually found an excuse to stay. He Qiming knew very well that the Huoluan family had a heavenly fire that was very effective in refining the Heavenly Punishment Pill. Moreover, it was not the first time that He Qiming borrowed that fire. There was no need to use that fire in the Na Xia family. Precisely because of this, if Xia Zhenming still intends to make things difficult for He Qiming, then He Qiming can be sure that Xia Youding is here and has not gone out to practice. Song Jian also looked at Xia Zhenming. He also wanted to know whether the Xia Zhenming in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him, as Qiming guessed. "Boss, what's going on? When will Sect Master He need to refine a batch of elixirs? Isn't he still anxious to go back and deal with the rise of the Dan King Sect?" Zhizhi asked Song Jian in confusion. Song Jian immediately sent a message to Zhizhi about He Qiming¡¯s guess. After hearing this, Zhizhi suddenly felt angry. He suppressed the anger in his heart and watched how Xia Zhenming responded to He Qiming's words. "ThisBrother He, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the family's sky fire is now being used by my family's alchemist." Xia Zhenming said with a look of embarrassment: "Brother He, why don't you come again next time. Besides, I I also heard that your Danwang Sect is currently busy dealing with the battle for territory. I think Brother He should go back to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. The revival of Danwang Sect is more important than anything else. "This Xia Zhenming's speaking ability is really extraordinary. He thought what he said made sense. Just when Xia Zhenming politely rejected He Qiming, Song Jian's inner anger could no longer be controlled. He never expected that He Qiming's guess was actually true. Xia Zhenming was deliberately making things difficult for Song Jian, lying to himself that Xia You was out training. "Clan Chief Xia, we don't have to be secretive anymore. I came here specifically to find Xia You. I hope Clan Chief Xia won't embarrass this junior!" Song Jian looked at Xia Zhenming and said every word. Zhizhi couldn't help but said: "Clan Chief Xia, sister Xia You and my eldest brother have been together since they were in Lijiang Continent. Even if your Xia family has any scruples, shouldn't you say it frankly? With my current status as the eldest son, shouldn't you? Is his status not worthy of your Huoluan family? "Don't even mention it, given Song Jian's current status. One is supported by the Dan Wang Sect, and the other is the Zhizhi Blood Demon Army. The two forces combined would definitely not be weaker than the Huo Luan Family. If the Huo Luan Family had not had the God-Emperor sitting in charge, they would not be able to compare with these two forces. When Xia Zhenming heard this, he naturally knew that his lie had been exposed, but Song Jian and Zhizhi did not make the words unpleasant. Now that everything was known, Xia Zhenming also put away his smile and said directly: "Brother Song Jian is indeed extraordinary. Yes, Xia You is in the clan. However, if you come to my Huoluan family to propose marriage, I All I can do is say sorry!" Song Jian and Zhizhi's expressions changed drastically, and Song Jian even stood up. Looking at Xia Zhenming with both eyes, he asked: "Clan Chief Xia, can you tell me the reason?" He Qiming also frowned slightly. Although he sat there without saying a word, his face was already livid. In terms of talent, potential, and current status, his junior brother is completely worthy of the Huoluan family. Xia Zhenming said: "Because Xia You is already engaged! Brother Song Jian, except for Xia You, you can choose any single female disciple of our Huoluan family. Our Huoluan family absolutely fully agrees." As the clan leader, Zhenming always puts the interests of the family first no matter what happens. So even though I rejected Song Jian today, I still don't want to antagonize Song Jian. After all, what Song Jian represents behind him is the Dan Wang Sect and the Blood Evil Army. The most important thing is that Song Jian's potential is also terrifying. "Impossible!" Song Jian said categorically: "Xia You will never get engaged to anyone else." "Yes, impossible! Sister Xia You will never get engaged to anyone else except my boss. Chief Xia, you have Just put forward any conditions and we will definitely satisfy you." Zhizhi immediately stood up and said that Xia You is engaged? Even if they beat Zhizhi and Song Jian to death, they would never believe it. "This" Xia Zhenming looked at Song Jian and Zhizhi, and he completely saw the determination of Song Jian and Zhizhi. He Qiming finally said: "Clan Chief Xia, as the leader of the Huoluan family, you should know very well. Once you become in-laws with my Alchemy King Sect, there is absolutely no need to worry about the elixirs of your family's disciples. This Danwang Sect will be my junior brother sooner or later." He Qiming said this at this time, obviously to support Song Jian. Tell Xia Zhenming very directly that Song Jian now represents the entire Danwang Sect. Zhizhi also said: "Chief Xia, as long as the boss and sister Xia You are together, then we are a family. The disciples of the Huoluan family are also our own people. They go on adventures in the four secret realms, and our Blood Demon Army will definitely be special. "At that time, both the Danwang Sect and the Blood Demon Army expressed their clear attitudes. Although the Danwang Sect and the Blood Demon Army are not as influential as the Huoluan Family when separated, only the Luo Family of Jiuxuantian and the Zhengyun Palace of the Four Secret Realms can be combined. Overwhelmed. At this time, Song Jian, He Qiming and Zhizhi all looked at Xia Zhenming. They were waiting for Xia Zhenming's attitude. Xia Zhenming looked at the gazes of the three people, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Song Jian, this matter is too involved, even I can't make the decision. Why don't you give me some time and let us discuss it." Wen After saying that, Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Xia Zhenming was still so firm despite the threats from the Danwang Sect and the Blood Demon Army. "Clan Chief Xia, we can wait! But before that, can you let me meet Xia You?" Song Jian looked at Xia Zhenming. Xia Zhenming thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay! For Brother He's sake, I can arrange for you to meet." Xia Zhenming knew very well that since things have come to this point, Song Jian will definitely know the truth. . In this case, why not Xia Zhenming do a favor and agree to let Song Jian meet Xia You. "By the way, Brother He, don't you want to refine the elixir? I can arrange it for you right now!" Xia Zhenming said to He Qiming immediately after seeing that the matter was made public. He??I don't want to put my family and the Danwang Sect on opposite sides because of Xia You. The Alchemy King Sect controls almost 90% of the alchemists. These alchemists can be said to be the ¡®nurses¡¯ of all gods and deities. Offending the wet nurse means you have no milk. Most people are really unwilling to do this unless they have to. He Qiming smiled and said: "There's no rush. Brother Xia should arrange a meeting with Xia You for my junior brother as soon as possible. My junior brother and your Xia You are in love, and my junior brother has been looking for her for a long time." "Okay." ! Then I'll make the arrangements." Xia Zhenming asked someone to arrange for He Qiming and others to rest in the guest room for a while, and then left the hall. (.)e
