Inside Rising Sun City.
Xia Xue hugged the purple-robed old man: "Uncle Xia, Xue'er misses you so much. Xue'er almost died in the mouth of the monster!"
The old man in purple robe patted her on the back: "Xue'er, good boy, you disappeared inexplicably in the Xia family. Your father and I were both anxious to death. How did you escape out of the city?"
"It's all eldest sister's fault. She knocked me unconscious, threw me into the beast wave, and buried a communication token in my body!"
"If it hadn't been for the help of these two young masters on the way, Xue'er would have been dead right now!"
"Uncle Xia, you have to make the decision for me!"
Xia Xue cried and cried. After many days of ups and downs, when she suddenly saw her relatives, she could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into tears.
Hearing this, the purple-robed old man looked at Li Baitian and the two.
"Thank you two gentlemen for rescuing my niece. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to go to Xia's house and talk about it so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"Don't worry, you saved my little sweetheart, I won't treat you badly!"
The old man said with a grateful expression.
"That's fine. Xia Xue promised to give us the resources we need. We can only take our share. In the end, it's just a business and nothing else is involved."
Li Baitian nodded and said.
It sounds unkind, but it is also a subtle expression that he has nothing to do with the internal fighting in the Xia family, and don't be angry with him just because he saved Xia Xue.
He was not a fool like Xia Xue, who threw a direct bloodline of a family into the beast tide. He didn't think that the family's senior officials would be unaware of it.
The top management has absolute control over the family, and knowing everything is basic, especially for the rich families.
"Okay, don't be greedy for success and advance rashly. Be clear about reason and know how to advance and retreat. I am surprised that there is a character like you among young people."
"I, Xia Jiuquan, I wonder where these two young masters come from?"
Xia Jiuquan took a deep look at Li Baitian.
"Uncle Xia, they are..."
Xia Xue wanted to introduce the identities of Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan as if claiming credit, but was immediately interrupted by the two.
Li Baitian cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Ye Wudao from Haoqi City has met City Lord Xia!"
Jiang Chuan: "I've been to Mei Pu of Haoqi City and met Lord Xia!"
"Okay, okay, they are all leaders of the younger generation, come with me!"
Xia Jiuquan laughed, stroked his beard, and led the three of them to Xia's house.
On the way, Xia Xue's eyes were confused. She didn't understand why the two of them had to give a false name.
In today's world, who doesn't desire to be friends with seniors and masters, and who doesn't want to become famous? How could anyone give a false name?
"Haoqi City, City Lord Yan there has good governance, especially his laws, which can be called perfect city defense laws."
"The law of order has enveloped the entire city. Not to mention a tide of beasts, not even the gangsters dare to act recklessly."
Xia Jiuquan talked about Haoqi City with envy in his tone.
If he had such power of law, why would he need to worry about the invasion of beasts?
Li Baitian's heart moved: "City Lord Xia knows City Lord Yan?"
Xia Jiuquan: "It's not really acquaintance. We have met him once. He is a strong man. His laws have been passed down from generation to generation. There are no cities nearby that don't know about him."
Li Baitian smiled and said: "Between the land and water, there are people. Rising Sun City also has its own characteristics. Along the way, I saw that the city is full of monks and there are not many ordinary people. It can be said that all the people are soldiers. Haoqi City is filled with a large number of mortals. If it really comes out, If something happens, the city’s vitality may be severely damaged.”
Xia Jiuquan laughed loudly: "You young man talks nicely, but it is true that everyone in Rising Sun City is cultivating immortality, and everyone has a copy of the basic skills. This is the only political achievement that can be achieved."
The group of people chatted and laughed when they arrived at a mansion.
Write the word "summer" on the card.
However, this mansion was surprisingly large, with walls hundreds of meters long. Those who didn't know it thought it was a small city built within the city.
Even the streets have become narrow because of the Xia family's mansion.
Seemingly seeing Li Baitian's surprise, Xia Jiuquan explained: "Because the City Lord's Mansion and the Xia family are built together, so it is bigger. If we separate it separately, it is actually about the same size as the Ye family in your Haoqi City."
"By the way, your name is Ye Wudao, but are you from the Ye family in Haoqi City?"
Xia Jiuquan arranged for several people to go to a villa and naturally brought the topic to the identity of the two of them.
"Yes, Ye Wutian of the Ye family is my brother."
Li Baitian's chest puffed up, his face full of pride.
When you go out, of course you have to use the name of your enemy.
"He is actually Ye Wutian's younger brother, no wonder, no wonder!"
Xia Jiuquan nodded frequently: "I am taking Xue'er to her father's house now. I will entertain you two grandly until I explain, so please be aggrieved for a moment."
"Easy to say."
Li Baitian nodded and watched the two people leave.
After he was sure that the person was gone, he looked at Jiang Chuan and asked, "Who is Mei Puguo?"
Jiangchuan: "My enemy is the owner of a bookstore in the city. He stole a lot of medicinal materials from my store in order to write an encyclopedia of medicines."
Li Baitian: "I see. What do you think of Xia Jiuquan just now?"
"I can't tell, it feels a bit fake. He is the city lord and he is too polite to us. Even if we save the apple of his eye, we shouldn't be so polite."
"And he didn't get angry. The eldest sister of the Xia family threw Xia Xue into the beast wave, but he didn't mention it at all. Maybe I was overly concerned."
Jiangchuan Youyou said that he had no evidence, everything was just his intuition.
"You are right. It is inevitable that the Xia family will have problems, but they are a wealthy family. Maybe they know something about the disappearance of the academy disciples."
Li Baitian also felt that something was wrong with Xia Jiuquan.
Every word this person said was suggestive, and he kept asking about his identity, but in response to his questions, he was perfunctory and prevaricated, and he seemed to have said nothing.
I just hope that Xia Xue can be sensible and not tell anyone about their lies about their names.
…
the other side.
Xia Family, inside the owner's mansion.
A middle-aged man was furious, and the desk was smashed to pieces with his palm.
"Bastard, what a bastard!"
"She actually secretly harmed the blood of the same clan. Doesn't she still have me as her father in her eyes?"
"Jiuquan, immediately investigate all the people involved in this incident. I, Xia Jiuliu, will not let anyone go. Even those of my bloodline must be severely punished!"
The speaker was Xia Jiuliu, the head of the Xia family. Seeing his third daughter being treated like this, he was furious.
"Jiuliu, don't worry, no one can escape."
"It's just that we don't want to make any public announcement about this matter for the time being. We are in the midst of a beast wave and we can't let it get into trouble."
Xia Jiuquan said.
"I understand, I still have some sense of propriety."
Xia Jiuliu looked sad: "Xue'er suffered because my father is sorry for you."
"I know you and your daughter have a lot to say when they meet, but Xueer's savior is still waiting outside, so we have to thank them properly."
"Also, Xue'er, tell Uncle Xia honestly, are those two people really called Ye Wudao and Mei Pu? You can rest assured that this is a little secret between the three of us."
Xia Jiuquan looked at Xia Xue with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, Xue'er didn't mean to lie to you. One of them is Li Baitian, who came from Zhengyi Academy to investigate the missing disciples, and the other is named Jiang Chuan, who is the owner of a pharmacy in Haoqi City."
"I don't know why they reported false names, but I have promised them that I will use my family's power to help them find the missing disciples. You have to help me!"
Xia Xue said coquettishly in Xia Jiuliu's arms.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to check on my father's behalf."
Xia Jiuliu laughed heartily, his eyes full of love.
Neither father nor daughter noticed that when they heard the words Zhengyi Academy, an imperceptible cold light flashed in Xia Jiuquan's eyes.
