C15 Capital City

Jiang Xia waited anxiously back and forth by the calm lake. The huge snake that was more than ten meters long was lying there quietly. The faint smell of blood in the air stimulated Jiang Xia's sense of smell. It was indeed very dangerous just now.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Xuan had already been under the water for more than a minute. The face of Jiang Xia's handsome young man flushed red. If it wasn't for the last bit of trust he had for his father, he probably would have jumped down as well.

"Why aren't you coming up?" Jiang Xia rubbed his arms as the worst thoughts emerged in his mind one by one. He didn't dare to imagine that Xie Xuan had really met with an accident down there.

Jiang Xia's ears could carefully hear what was happening under the lake. He couldn't see, nor did he know how deep down the lake was, but suddenly, Jiang Xia caught hold of a tremor underwater. His heart was raised to his throat, and then the sound became louder and louder, causing bubbles to appear.

"Hualala." Water splashed everywhere. Xie Xuan's extremely pale face appeared on the surface of the lake, but his mouth was smiling, "Xia."

"Father." Jiang Xia was immediately overjoyed. The boulder in his chest finally fell down. This was a son's concern for his father, and it was also his father's promise to his son. He would definitely be fine.

Xie Xuan dragged his wet body onto the shore as his whole body shivered. The gentle sunlight and the worry of the child gave him a warm feeling.

"Dad, are you alright?" Jiang Xia asked worriedly.

Xie Xuan smiled and shook his head, a trace of pride flashed across his eyes. "Xia, dad said that the presence of Devil Beast here must be out of the ordinary. As I expected, I found this below?"

Jiang Xia's heart lit up and he quickly asked: "What did you find?"

Xie Xuan picked up Jiang Xia's hand and then placed an ice-cold object on his palm. Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment. According to the touch of his palm, it could be considered as a pearl-like object at first.

"Dad, is it a pearl?"

"No." Xie Xuan said with determination, "Pearls are usually white and black, but this thing is blue. I don't know what it is, but it should be a pretty good treasure to attract the Red Snake King."

"Blue?" Jiang Xia was even more surprised. He rubbed his palm gently. The ball wasn't big and it wasn't particularly hard. It could even be slightly pinched.

Xie Xuan's body was no longer trembling. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, "When I found it underwater, it was still emitting blue light! But when I picked it up, it stopped glowing, which is weird. "

Wu Junjun raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Really? It seems like it might be a treasure. If I bring it back to Mother, she will definitely be very happy. " Xie Xuan also nodded and looked at the color of the sky, it was about time to go back. The snake gall of the Red Snake King was naturally not wasted, under Xie Xuan's "sinister" smile, "forcing" Jiang Xia to swallow the snake gall as big as a child's fist, almost choking to death.

The Blue Pearl only said that she had accidentally found it in the lake. Although Jiang Yan had a face of disbelief, she did not say anything more.

The three of them, together with Mengyu, sat around a table filled with Jiang Xia's favorite delicious food. Other than Xie Xuan and Mengyu, Jiang Yan didn't say a word from the start of the meal.

"Mother." Jiang Xia called out.

Jiang Yan's delicate body trembled slightly as she squeezed out a smile. "Mm, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xia's expression was gentle, some moisture gushed out of his grey eyes, "Mother, your son will be going to the imperial city in a few days. If you're not happy, your son won't be happy even if I leave."

Jiang Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with love as she gently caressed Jiang Xia's head and said gently, "Xia, no matter what decision you make, mother will support you. Your father is right, this small mountain village does not belong to you, your world should be even more vast."

Jiang Xia's heart was deeply moved and he nodded, "Mom, don't worry! As soon as we have time, Mengyu and I will come back and visit you. "

"Alright, alright." Jiang Yan deliberately let herself appear to be at ease, not knowing how much unwillingness there was in this mother's heart.

In the next few days, Xie Xuan didn't go hunting on the mountain again. The family of three or, more accurately, the family of four enjoyed a short and beautiful time together. In the eyes of Xie Xuan and his wife, Mengyu was already considered as their daughter-in-law. Filled with laughter, Wu steel for three relatives to caress the zither, elegant moving zither music around three days.

Happiness is always short-lived. Finally, it was the day of departure when Jiang Xia and Mengyu packed their bags and prepared to set off with Xie Xuan's letter to the Spirit Martial Academy Principal.

The four of them were about to separate at the village entrance. Jiang Yan carefully arranged the folds of Jiang Xia's clothes, "Xia, you must take care of yourself when you go outside. You must protect Mengyu well."

Jiang Xia nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily, "Mother, when Mengyu and I come back, can we get married? For you two old men to carry a grandson. "

Mengyu's parents, who seemed to be making fun of Jiang Xia, blushed. The latter pinched Jiang Xia gently and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not spouting nonsense. My parents are looking forward to your entry!"

On the surface, Mengyu looked bashful, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Xie Xuan looked at his son, who was almost as tall as him, and his face turned serious, "Xia, dad has a few last few things to teach you, you must remember them carefully."

"Yes, Father." Jiang Xia answered seriously.

Xie Xuan and his wife looked at each other, then continued, "Xia, you should go to the imperial city and avoid contact with these types of people. The first is Xie Family, our family of three are no longer members of Xie Family."

Jiang Xia's eyes flashed with a cold light and he nodded slightly.

"There are a total of three great clans in the imperial city: Xie Family, Situ Family, and even Ye Family. You must not provoke people from the Situ Family, and even more so, don't make friends with people from the Situ Family." Xie Xuan could no longer suppress the chilliness in his body as he said this.

Jiang Xia's expression changed as he asked in confusion, "Dad, why?"

She thought for a moment and said with a cold voice, "Xia, because your grandfather died at the hands of the Situ Clan Elder, Situ Kuang, your father's meridians were also broken by Situ Kuang's eldest son, Situ Qi, which caused his strength to stop at that of a Level 4 Warrior forever."

"It's them?" This was the first time he had the urge to kill someone. No wonder his father was only a level four martial artist, no wonder he didn't make any progress in the past fifteen years, even his family being expelled from the Xie Family because they didn't have his grandfather's protection. Everything was because of the Situ Family.

Xie Xuan quickly patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Xia, what I said to your mother was not to add to your hatred, but to let you have some trouble in your heart. We thought about it for a few days and finally told you this. Don't do anything stupid, do you understand?"

Jiang Xia gradually calmed down and took a deep breath out, "Dad, Mom, I know your hard work, I won't provoke them."

Only then did Jiang Yan and Xie Xuan heave a sigh of relief. The latter then continued, "Xia and the royal family, I hope you won't touch them. The royal family's waters are too deep. Your teacher Wu Tian is the best example."

"En, Father, Mother, I will definitely remember your words in my heart."

Jiang Yan revealed a gentle smile and held Mengyu's hand, who couldn't seem to say anything. "Mengyu, I'll leave your Brother Jiang Xia to you. You have to watch over him."

Mengyu secretly glanced at Jiang Xia with her big eyes and nodded, "Aunt, I will take good care of him."

"Good boy." Jiang Yan smiled lovingly. "You can call me mother when you come back, okay?"

"Ah!" Mengyu was frightened out of her wits. Her heart was like an ignorant deer. A blush appeared on her flawless white face as she whispered, "Alright!

They were all happy. Jiang Yan immediately put the blue pearl Xie Xuan scooped out from the lake into Jiang Xia's hands, "Xia, take this thing with you. If you think of your parents, take it out."

Jiang Xia's nose twitched as he carefully put the blue pearl inside his clothes, "Dad, mom, you guys have to take care of yourselves too."

"En!" Even Xie Xuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, "Go!"

Jiang Xia went up to hug his parents and pulled Mengyu into a carriage. "Giddy up!" Following the driver's shout, the carriage trembled for a moment before slowly entering the front.

Jiang Yan couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She shouted in a choked voice, "Xia, you have to remember that mom and dad have been waiting for you at home."

"Dad, mom, take care. Your son will be back soon." Jiang Xia waved his hand and jumped into the carriage. His grey eyes were filled with tears of the two teenagers.

The carriage moved further and further away. Xie Xuan held his wife gently in his arms. Even though this man never feared death, at this moment, he was crying for his family. His son, the son he was so proud of, should not be buried in this mountain. Perhaps when he appeared again, it would be a shining star.

Jiang Xia's tears had stopped, and now he was in Mengyu's arms, "Brother Jiang Xia, when are you going to get up? My hands are sore. "

"Cough cough, what's wrong? My wife, I'm not even willing to serve my husband? " Jiang Xia purposefully changed the topic of conversation to make the discomfort in his heart lessen a little.

Mengyu pouted, her bright big eyes filled with dissatisfaction. "Hmph! I'm still your wife!"

"Hehe, it will happen sooner or later!"

"Hmph, if I see someone better than you in the capital, I'll run away with someone else."

"Is that so? "Then if I see someone better than you, I'll also find someone else to be my wife."

"You dare? I'm going to tell Aunt Jiang Yan. "

"What aunt? That's your mother."

= = =.

Under the joyous laughter of the two, Jiang Xia's reluctance to part with his parents was buried deep in his heart. The imperial city became the place where he looked forward to.
