Chapter 64: The Trial

  Xia Jia's current head of the family, Xia Jingqing's father Xia Yunxuan, has a bookish appearance, but his cultivation is deep and immeasurable. He has a significant position in Luoyang City, and it was he who allowed the Xia family to grow to its current state in Luoyang City.

  "Why?!" Xia Jingqing shouted at Xia Yunxuan.

  Even Qin Feng would slightly turn his body and look at Xia Yunxuan with a somewhat solemn expression.

  Xia Yunxuan pushed through the crowd to the front, looking down at Xia Jingqing from a high position, and said in a low voice: "After you two left, what about the wild beast's rampage? We have no way to deal with it."

  "Then we can take it with us." Qin Tiancheng said in a low voice.

  "Hmph!" Xia Yunxuan sneered, saying, "Isn't it more dangerous for all of you to leave together?"

  "Dad, you..."

  "It goes without saying that I won't let you leave." Xia Yunxuan's stern gaze swept across the crowd, then said, "I suppose no one will have any objections, right?"

  The voice was soft but had an unquestionable authority, as if asking for opinions but no one dared to offer any.

  "Hmm?" Xia Yunxuan's gaze stopped on Xia Tian's slightly evasive eyes and said, "Xia Tian, do you have any opinions?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes focused on Xia Tian.

  Xia Jingqing and Qin Tiancheng's eyes were even more eager, filled with intense hope.

  Xiatian's expression changed, and after meeting Qin Tiancheng's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and stared straight into Xia Yunxuan's eyes: "Master, I really think your approach is inappropriate."

  His voice was trembling, but it carried a sense of determination.

  Xia Yunxuan narrowed his eyes, then turned to Xia Tian, slowly walking in front of him, a faint sense of intimidation filling the air. He said in a low voice: "You question me?"

  "Now that I've ridden the tiger, it's hard to get off. So I'll just say it outright: As everyone knows, my life was saved by Yang Yuxin, but I guarantee what I'm about to say has no personal bias."

  After a pause, when all the whispers had disappeared, Xia Tian continued: "Indeed, Yang Yu Xi is the most outstanding child I have ever seen. Even Qinger and Tian Cheng can't compare to him. What's even more precious is that he still has a heart of innocence. From an elder's perspective, I really hope Qinger and Tian Cheng will interact with him, because such a child will be extraordinary. This will bring unparalleled benefits to our Qinger and Tian Cheng in the future. If they don't go see him, they might miss out on a great opportunity!"

  After he finished speaking, Xia Tian's eyes were firmly locked onto Xia Yunxuan. Although his cultivation was far inferior, his determined gaze was not weaker than Xia Yunxuan's.

  The people around were also shocked, and it was truly unexpected that Xia Tian, who was usually low-key, would say such things. However, even so, no one thought he could change Xia Yunxuan.

  As expected, Xia Yunxuan's eyes became a little colder, and even though the person in front of him was his own younger brother, his tone was icy: "You're so confident in that Yang Yuxi?"

  "Yes, yes... " Summer's forehead was covered in sweat as he said, "He is the only one I have ever seen."

  Xia Yunxuan's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, and an overwhelming pressure filled the entire secret room, causing the entire room to shake slightly.

  Everyone held their breath and didn't dare make a move.

  In the summer, he was the first to bear the brunt, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. This pressure was too strong for him, and he had no power to resist.

  But his gaze remained fixed on Xia Yunxuan.

  A moment later, Xia Yunxuan withdrew his oppressive aura and turned to walk away. A stern voice that brooked no questioning rang out: "There's no need to say anything more; neither of them will be leaving today!"

  "Landlord..." Xia Tian was shocked.

  "Dad......" Xia Jingqing was even more anxious, her eyes were so urgent that they were filled with bloodshot.

  Qin Tiancheng grabbed Xia Jingqing, and the two of them exchanged a glance. The fluctuation in the microcosm boundary burst out in an instant, and the two of them transformed into two rays of light that rapidly shot towards the outside of the secret chamber, their speed shocking most people.

  Unfortunately, Xia Yunxuan had apparently anticipated that the two would force their way in.

  "Hmm!"

  He let out a cold snort, and the entire space seemed to freeze, with endless pressure crushing down, the two of them only felt as if a huge mountain was flying towards them from the opposite side, directly pressing them back.

  "Hong Hong"

  The two fell to the ground at the same time, and the dull sound made many people's hearts skip a beat.

  "Hmph, dare to run wildly again and I'll break your legs!" A severe voice came from the corner of the secret room.

  Qin and Tian Cheng exchanged a glance, both seeing the unwillingness and anxiety in each other's eyes. However, they also knew that today was probably truly impossible to escape.

  "It seems we shouldn't have come back yesterday..." Xia Jingqing muttered to herself.

  Qin Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, his eyes gradually deepened, and he fell into contemplation.

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Yang Yu Xi's shadow at the city gate grew longer and shorter again, until he finally stood up, looked at the sun that was about to set behind the western mountain, feeling a deep sense of desolation.

  Of course, there is also murderous intent!

  He turned his head, and his gradually cold eyes looked towards the southeast direction, where a few wisps of smoke slowly floated out.

  He quickened his pace and headed southeast, the twilight gradually engulfing his figure.

  In the backyard of Xia's house, people from both families are gathered together and are in the midst of a solemn arbitration.

  "Yunxuan, what are we going to do with that beast?" Qin Feng asked, sitting on the right side of Xia Yunxuan.

  Xia Yunxuan's eyes locked onto the two people and one beast in the room, finally fixing on the small spirit that was still sleeping soundly. Since the two returned, this spirit beast had been sleeping all along, never once opening its eyes. A bubble still hung from its small nose, looking harmless. However, the Xia and Qin families were terrified of it, for they knew better than anyone else just how enormous the power hidden beneath its harmless face was.

  So even if it's always sleeping, no one dares to mess with it.

  "We can't kill it." After a long time, Xia Yunxuan finally said this sentence to Qin Feng.

  "What's to be done?"

  Xia Yunxuan's eyes were deep and profound as he said, "However, if the two of them can control it, then everything will turn around to another side."

  "Control..." Qin Feng's eyes also lit up, he wasn't stupid, being able to become the head of the household already showed his level, he clearly knew that once the two children could control this powerful spiritual beast, it would be an extremely good thing for both the Qin and Xia families.

  The strength of the two families will rise to a new level, and even the capital city will take notice of them. Then, the family will flourish in their own hands, and they will leave a brilliant mark in the history of the family!!

  "We should ask for the child's opinion." Qin Feng finally said to Xia Yunxuan, at this time his tone was somewhat agitated.

  Xia Yunxuan nodded slightly and then asked the two people tied up in the arena, "Qing'er, Tiancheng, can you control that spiritual beast?"

  Qin Tiancheng and Xia Jingqing were both clever people, and they immediately guessed the implication of Xia Yunxuan's words. Qin Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Although it won't harm us, we can't control it."

  "It's our friend, not our enemy!! Dad, why can't you just get it straight!?"

  "Friend?" An old man with a white beard on Xia Yunxuan's left side let out a snort of laughter, his eyes full of disdain. "Don't forget that it killed people from both our families! Would friends kill their own kind? How ridiculous! You two must not forget that we are human, while it is a beast. Don't even think about being friends with it, or you'll be throwing away the hundred-year foundation of our two families!!"

  This person speaks sharply and sarcastically, without leaving any room for courtesy.

  Xia Jing frowned, because she was a girl and had never been liked by the third elder of the family since childhood. In her impression, he always spoke coldly to her, and over time, she also disliked him very much.

  But unfortunately, he holds a noble position, is one of the family elders, and also has some real power as an elder. The young master of this wealthy family can't even control him.

  "Three Elders, what do you think we should do?" Xia Yunxuan furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice.

  The three old men with white beards raised one of them coldly and said, "Kill that beast to eliminate future troubles." The murderous aura was cold and unreserved.

  Xia Yunxuan said in a low voice: "You should know that we can't kill it."

  "Hmph..." The three elders' mouths curled up into a cruel smile, and he said in a gloomy tone, "That beast wasn't defenseless against the two children, was it..."

  As soon as this was said, it was as if a thousand years of icy frost had blown by, and the entire scene instantly fell silent. Everyone guessed the underlying meaning behind the Third Elder's words.

  Xia Jing's eyes turned red with rage, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins staring straight at the three elders, as if flames were about to erupt from his eyes: "You old scoundrel, I will absolutely not let you succeed!!"

  Qin Tiancheng also glared at the three elders with a furious expression, his bound body struggling violently, and the ropes making an ear-piercing sound.

  "Three Elders, what you mean is..." Xia Yunxuan was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and tapped the table lightly.

  The three elders ignored the anger of Qin Tiancheng and the others, smiled slightly after stroking their beards and said: "That's right, let the two children kill it, this is much safer than waiting for the two children to control it. Although it's not good for the development of the family compared to getting it, it's still better than being on tenterhooks all day, and the development of the family should be gradual, after all, it's not good to rush things." The three elders spoke eloquently, their eyes scanning the surroundings, many people had already started nodding in agreement, and the curve of his mouth became more and more obvious.

  Qin Tiancheng and Xia Jingqing shook their heads desperately, causing the ropes and iron chains to clatter loudly. Unfortunately, these restraints were specially made, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free.

  "Dad, this is absolutely not okay!!" Xia Jingqing struggled free and shouted at Xia Yunxuan, her heart racing with anxiety, causing her to sweat profusely, her hair messy and sticking to her cheeks. She saw the expression on Xia Yunxuan's face and knew he was thinking about it, she absolutely couldn't let him make this decision!!

  Xia Jingqing gritted her teeth and roared: "Dad, if you want me to kill it, then I'll die first!!"
