Xiwo Prefecture, Lingtian City, Xiahou Family.
A thin, wrinkled face, white-haired old man wearing linen robes sat at the head of the hall.
The old head of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Yun.
He is also the father of Xia Houyuan and the grandfather of Xiahou Yufeng.
In the main hall, there were four elders and Xia Houyuan.
During this attack on Xuanjian Sect, Xia Houyuan called his father out of seclusion.
After Xiahou Yun came out of seclusion, he had a brief understanding of the various grievances between the Xiahou family and the Xuanjian Sect, as well as the current predicament of the Xiahou family.
"Why haven't I seen the Great Elder since I left seclusion?" Xia Houyun looked down and asked.
"Xia Houlian has resigned as the chief elder and left the Xiahou family!" Xiahou Yuan said.
Xia Houyuan frowned, "Because of what?"
Xia Houyuan told the whole story.
"Idiot!" Xia Houyun looked at Xia Houyuan and suddenly said angrily.
Xia Houyuan was a little confused and looked at Xia Houyun, "Father?"
"Do you know why I made Xiahou Lian the first elder? Because Xiahou Lian can clearly see the current situation, make the clearest judgment, and make the decision that is most beneficial to my Xiahou family! But what about you? You will forcefully Is this how you become the head of the family when you are forced to leave?" Xia Houyun asked in a deep voice.
Xia Houyuan lowered his head and did not dare to refute.
Xia Houyuan turned his head and looked at Xiahou Ting, "And you idiot, Xiahou Ting, you want to be the boss, but you don't rely on your true abilities, but you are snitching behind your back! The Xiahou family has an elder and head like you, and we don't want to end up like this. That’s weird! From now on, I will depose you as an elder, and you can leave or stay as you please!"
Xiahou Ting immediately knelt down and said quickly: "Old Patriarch, please give me another chance. I already know that I was wrong!"
"Get out!" Xia Houyun's voice was like thunder.
Xiahou Ting suddenly fell to the ground, as if he had lost his soul.
After losing the position of second elder, those people in the family who have been suppressed by him will definitely not let him go!
"Why don't you get out?" Xia Houyun scolded him again.
Xia Houting stood up slowly, staggering a little, and stumbled out of the hall.
Immediately, Xia Houyun looked at Xia Houyuan again, "From now on, I will make decisions on family affairs. Do you have any objection?"
Xia Houyuan cupped his fists and saluted, "My child has no objections, it all depends on the father!"
Xia Houyun nodded, "Go and prepare generous gifts, and then prepare more crystal stones. I'm going to Zhongfuzhou!"
Xia Houyuan bowed slightly to the remaining elders and left the hall.
Not long after, Xia Houyun drove a small flying boat and left Siwo Prefecture.
Half a day later, Xia Houyun appeared in front of a loft in Zhongfuzhou.
The attic is not big, only three floors, and it only occupies a radius of ten feet.
There is a plaque hanging in front of the attic with the words "Tingfeng Tower" written on it.
Xia Houyun glanced at the plaque and walked in.
The attic floor was extremely empty, with nothing else but a counter.
Behind the counter, a woman in a pink skirt was sleeping on the table.
After Xia Houyun walked in, he came to the counter and called softly, "Girl."
The woman didn't even raise her head, "What news are you buying?"
"I want to meet the person in charge of your building, please let me know!" Xia Houyun said.
The woman raised her head and looked at Xia Houyun, "Old Master Xiahou, just ask me for information! Our person in charge does not meet guests easily, please understand!"
The woman has a fair face and looks like she is only in her twenties.
Xia Houyun immediately had a black crystal storage card in his hand and placed it in front of the woman, "Please do me a favor, girl, and be accommodating!"
"I am a principled person, please don't embarrass me, Mr. Xiahou!" the woman said with a wink.
Xia Houyun was silent for a moment, then placed another card in front of the woman, "Please be accommodating, girl!"
The woman silently grabbed the two cards and put them into the ring. "Old Patriarch Xiahou, I am willing to help because of your sincerity. I am a principled person, not the money you gave me!"
The corner of Xia Houyun's mouth twitched, "I understand, I understand, please let me know, girl!"
Xia Houyun felt a slander in his heart. No matter how sincere he was, those were 20 billion top-quality crystals!
A principled person?
There is a Mao principle!
You can really talk nonsense.
"Master Xiahou, please wait a moment. I'm going to ask the person in charge for instructions!" The woman stood up and jumped up the stairs, looking a little happy.
After a while, Xia Houyun saw the woman walking down.
However, the woman at this time looked much more mature and steady, and not as naughty anymore.
"Girl, how are you?" Xia Houyun looked at the woman expectantly and asked.
The woman sat back down and looked at Xia Houyun, "Master Xiahou, what do you want from me?"
"Girl, I'm looking for your person in charge!" Xia Houyun said in a deep voice.
The woman blinked, "I am the person in charge here, and the person the Xiahou family is looking for is me!"
"Girl, aren't you the one just now?" Xia Houyun looked at the woman and said.
The woman waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, that was my twin sister just now. The head of the Xiahou family may have been confused!"
Xia Houyun stared at the woman without saying anything. This was obviously the same person. What kind of twin sister?
He felt cheated by this woman!
Xia Houyun took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure you are the person in charge here?"
The woman nodded, "It's true!"
"What do you call the girl?" Xia Houyun's face returned to normal.
"Just call me Xiaoqian. What does the Xiahou family want from me?" The woman looked at Xiahou Lian.
"Miss Xiaoqian, I want to ask you about Liu Wei of Xuanjian Sect!" Xia Houlian said.
Xiaoqian had a smile on her face, "Isn't this buying news about Liu Wei? You could have just bought it before, so why are you still looking for me?"
Xia Houlian shook his head, "Not only do I want to buy information, I also want to hear Miss Xiaoqian's advice!"
Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Master Xiahou, the price is a bit expensive. I'm afraid that the Xiahou family today may not be able to afford that much at once!"
Xia Houyun smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, although the Xiahou family has encountered some difficulties, they can still afford a piece of news. Miss Xiaoqian, can you tell me how much it is?"
Xiaoqian said nothing and stretched out her hand.
"Fuck! Fifty billion?" Xia Houyun said in shock.
Xiaoqian shook her head, "It's ten of us!"
Xia Houyun was stunned. Five hundred billion was just a piece of news. What kind of news could be worth this price?
Fifty billion was already quite shocking to him.
When did a piece of news from Tingfeng Tower become so expensive?
Could it be that he has been in seclusion for too long and no longer knows the prices in the outside world, and is out of touch with the times?
After Xia Houyun was stunned for a long time, he calmed down and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, aren't you joking?"
"Master Xiahou, please come back. I just said that the current situation of the Xiahou family cannot afford this news!" Xiao Qian said.
Xia Houyun looked at Xiaoqian and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, can't it be cheaper?"
Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Even if I give you a cheaper price, you can't afford it now, can you?"
The expression on Xia Houyun's face froze, and then he said: "Miss Xiaoqian, then I would like to buy some advice from you!"
Xiaoqian held out two fingers and said, "I'm sorry, I can give some advice to the head of the Xiahou family!"
Xia Houyun was silent for a moment, then placed a black card in front of Xiaoqian, which contained exactly 100 billion.
This is all the crystal stones he brought with him when he came out this time.
Xiaoqian silently put away the card and looked at Xiahou Yun, "Master Xiahou, if you want to keep your Xiahou family, there is no other way but to beg Liu Wei and get his forgiveness!"
Looking for Liu Wei?
To be honest, the Xiahou family is a little embarrassed by this!
"Miss Xiaoqian, how strong is this Xuanjian Sect? Is there really no force that can compete with it?" Xia Houlian asked with a frown.
"This question requires extra money, but I will remind you for free, Liu Wei himself is more terrifying than the Xuanjian Sect!" Xiaoqian said seriously.
Xia Houyun's frown deepened, "Miss Xiaoqian, this...what is the background of Liu Wei?"
Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Master Xiahou, I have given you the advice. Other information requires money!"
Xia Houyun nodded and finally left Tingfeng Tower.
At this time, he felt a little heavy!
Tingfenglou should not talk nonsense, but do he really want to go to a young man to plead for mercy?
At this moment, he was very conflicted!
Not long after, Xia Houyun arrived at Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as Xia Houyun walked into the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, the steward in the lobby of the chamber of commerce recognized him.
The Xiahou family is now included in the blacklist of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so each branch of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has information about some characters in the Xiahou family.
The steward in the lobby here is a woman, wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam.
The woman came to Xia Houyun, "Master Xiahou, I wonder why you came to our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?"
"Girl, I'm here to visit President Gong, please let me know something!" Xia Houyun said.
"Master Xiahou, the president probably won't see you. Please come back!" the woman refused.
Xia Houyun cupped his fists and saluted the woman, "Girl, just do me a favor and let me know. If President Gong really doesn't want to see me, I can just leave!"
The woman was silent for a while, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask!"
"Thank you!" Xia Houyun thanked him.
The woman quickly walked upstairs, came to a room, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Gong Yi's voice came out.
The woman pushed the door open and saw Gong Yizheng standing in front of the window, looking outside with his hands behind his back.
"President, the old head of the Xiahou family is here to visit!" the woman said after bowing slightly.
Gong Yi turned around and looked at the woman, "Xia Houyun?"
"Yes!" the woman responded softly.
After Gong Yi was silent for a long time, he said: "Take him to the reception hall, I will be there in a moment."
The woman bowed slightly and left the door.
Xia Houyun stood in the lobby. After seeing the woman come down, he looked at her expectantly, "Girl, President Gong, would you like to see me?"
The woman nodded, "Master Xiahou, please come with me!"
After the woman finished speaking, she walked upstairs.
A smile appeared on Xia Houyun's face and he quickly followed him upstairs.
