C15 Beijing Song Family
That night, Xia Ling continued to circulate his energy throughout the night.
He had already fully grasped the power of Qi-entraining Middle Rank. According to his plan, breaking through now should not have any effect.
It was like a short period of depression after someone else broke through, Xia Ling definitely wouldn't encounter it.
He planned to break through to the high-level Qi Drawing Realm today!
However, as long as a person lived in this world, there would always be ordinary things that would come knocking on their door.
Eternal Sword Emperor was no exception.
Not long after morning, a servant came to find him.
"Second Miss is looking for me?" Xia Ling frowned slightly.
Didn't that girl just send someone here yesterday? Why did she come again today?
Xia Ling only wanted to borrow the family's power to establish the alchemy lab as soon as possible, but if this Second Miss kept pestering him, it would definitely delay him.
Sword Emperor's time was worth more than gold. If that was the case, he would rather build a pill concocting room somewhere else.
With his capabilities, how hard would it be for him to become an alchemist in the capital, much less in a pill concocting room?
"Yes, Miss called you." The attendant was a little impatient. How could he put on airs when he was just a small side branch disciple?
Do you still want Second Miss to carry you in a palanquin?
As a servant of the inner sect, as the saying goes, a third rank official in front of the Prime Minister's office would obviously look down on those who were not part of the family.
Xia Ling laughed coldly and was disdainful of arguing with him.
He wasn't willing to lower himself.
"Lead the way." Xia Ling said.
The servant boy seemed to still be worried. He repeatedly instructed, "Let me tell you, the inner chamber is not a place where you can walk freely." You can't afford to run into anyone, so you'll definitely follow me. "
He thought for a moment, then added in a more serious tone, "And don't look around, do you understand?"
Xia Ling didn't even look at him and said lightly: "If you don't leave, I'm going back."
He wasn't in the mood to waste time with this person.
"Hmph." The servant let out a long breath, "Don't say that I didn't warn you." "Let's go."
At the same time, within the Xia Family Inner Mansion.
In a guest room.
Xia Yanru was dressed in a moon-white long skirt with elegant flower patterns embroidered on the cuffs.
She quietly sat on the chair and a lock of her beautiful black hair fell down like a waterfall. Her bright eyes seemed to open and close, and her smooth and tender snow-white muscles seemed to be made of ice and snow. She was gentle and beautiful.
As for the young man opposite her, he crossed his legs and held a teacup in his hand. She kept glancing at Xia Yanru, never taking her eyes off her.
The foppish young lord was frivolous.
"Cousin, which brat are you talking about? When will he be here?" He stared straight at the young girl and said with a smile.
Xia Yanru also picked up her teacup, trying her best not to show any expression of disgust, and said indifferently, "I've already sent someone to invite them, I think they will be back soon. Cousin might as well wait a little longer. "
"Haha, I'm not in a rush." He chuckled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to be with a beauty like my cousin for as long as I have to wait."
Behind him stood two other people, both dressed as servants. He was no longer surprised by his master's expression.
If he was at home, he might have gotten himself involved.
This person's name was Song Shengcheng, a cousin of Xia Family, and also the third young master of the capital's Soong Family. Today, Xia Yanru had come all the way to visit him.
The capital's Soong Family is an impressive family. Although they couldn't compare to those super families that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family, they still had quite a bit of background.
After all, he was still in the capital. How could he have a simple role to play in order to gain a foothold there?
Compared to Ning Nan's Xia Family, she was like a phoenix flying in the sky.
Furthermore, Song Shengcheng himself was quite capable. He was only twenty years old this year, and was already at the middle stage of the Vein Refining, infinitely close to the upper stage! Forget about young people of the same generation as him in Xia Family, even if the competition was open to the public, only clan members of the elder rank had such strength.
Therefore, Xia Yanru could only endure the harassment with great difficulty.
"It's not that I'm talking about it, cousin," Song Shengcheng said carelessly, as if he didn't think of himself as an outsider at all. I have no objections if you want to wait for someone, but I advise you not to have too high of a chance. "
"Your cousin brought you a fifth rank apothecary from Beijing, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?" As he spoke, he shook his head, his face showing off. Letting him enter your Xia Family's refining room, is also helping you. "
"If it wasn't for our Soong Family, he wouldn't be willing to come to this remote place."
At this point, a middle-aged man sitting beside Song Shengcheng humphed in agreement, as if he was dissatisfied with the environment here.
"Cousin, when you are in the capital, you can still remember us, your relatives from the countryside. This little girl is certainly honored." Xia Yanru put down her teacup and said nonchalantly, "If this mister is really too reluctant, there's no harm in going back to the capital. My Xia Family is also a talent of my own, so I don't dare to trouble cousin too much. "
Xia Yanru was very clear about the wishful thinking of her cousin.
If it wasn't for her pride, her face would have been covered in frost by now as she berated, "Wolf's Ambition!" Got it.
This Song Shengcheng, he has been pointing fingers and pointing fingers at the matters of Xia Family for the past few years. He did everything he could to bring his power into this place.
Xia Yanru sighed in her heart. A few years ago, her father was injured while her sister went to the north. To be honest, the Southern Xia Family was indeed void of power.
He had to fight against the elders who harbored malicious intentions when he had the authority of being the head of the clan, as well as being unscrupulous in the dark corners of the clan. Facing the battles of the other clans with Ningnan City, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
This gave Song Shengcheng an opportunity.
But this time, I won't be afraid of you!
"Hey, cousin, what do you mean by that?" Song Shengcheng said discontentedly, "Are you trying to kick us out? I came here specially to help you all out of kinship! "
Even though he said that, he still sat steadily and had no intention of getting up.
The alchemist also said in a strange tone, "Xia Second Miss doesn't need to worry about me. Although this place is quite remote and my conditions are lagging behind, I am not a person who can't take the hardships of others." I'm definitely going to help Third Young Master Han! "
He was so resolute and decisive, directly saying that he was helping Song Shengcheng, and instantly excluded the Xia Family!
Xia Yanru was so angry that her hands were shaking.
This is my family. I have not decided yet, yet you dare to say such words?
She could barely keep her face straight.
Just then, an attendant called out, and ran over from the door in small steps, "Second Miss, Xia Ling has arrived."
Xia Ling came?
The young girl's eyes lit up.
A handsome young man was already standing quietly at the door.
Compared to him, Song Shengcheng was like a toad!
"Xia Ling, come here, quickly." The young girl stood up in surprise and waved her hand with a smile that was like a flower.
They had only met once, but Xia Yanru acted like she was her closest friend!
If she had just sat there quietly, she would have been like a budding flower. The girl who was smiling now was blooming.
The bright light illuminated the room, attracting everyone.
Song Shengcheng slightly leaned forward and his eyes almost popped out. The apothecary beside him was no longer as calm as before. The water in his cup had already been drained dry, and the cup was still in his mouth.
What a beauty!
