Chapter 271 Young Master’s Wife
Chapter 271 Young Master’s Wife
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, the other elders looked surprised.
They looked at Ruan Xihe, who was covered in wounds, in surprise and doubt, then quickly bent down and respectfully apologized.
The high-ranking guards brought by the head of the Xia family also knelt on the ground in unison and kowtowed to Ruan Xihe.
"Meet the Young Master's wife!"
Ruan Xihe frowned and said, "You got the wrong person."
She now only felt that the Xia family's thought processes were indeed a bit strange, but in order to restore the spiritual energy in her dried-up dantian, she could only chat with them more to delay some time.
"Come on, you're still embarrassed." The Xia family's ancestor laughed and immediately concluded that Ruan Xihe was shy.
He raised his hand, and a surge of spiritual power poured out from his palm, wrapping up Ruan Xihe.
Under the healing power of this spiritual power, the external injuries on her body gradually improved, and her lips also regained some color.
The head of the Xia family also stared at Ruan Xihe with an expression of watching a show, and he smiled wisely.
"Don't hide it for that brat. You two can't hide it from my sharp eyes."
"You mean... Xia Yuanbai?"
Ruan Xihe didn't know who the grandson of the Xia family's ancestor was.
But recalling the conversation between Xia Yuanbai and Xia Zhirou in the inn, he guessed that Xia Yuanbai might have a relatively high status in the Xia family.
"Oh, look, isn't this an admission?" The ancestor of the Xia family smiled brightly.
I originally thought that with Xia Yuanbai's unromantic personality, he would have to spend his whole life guarding those spiritual weapons and dreaming of "being a hero".
But I didn't expect that this brat would do great things quietly and find him a granddaughter-in-law without saying a word.
Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Xia family secretly glanced at Ruan Xihe and nodded with satisfaction.
And she is such an excellent granddaughter-in-law, hehe...
"You two, you have found the wrong person."
Although the third elder of the Xia family injured her, the ancestor of the Xia family healed her injuries, and since it involved Xia Yuanbai, she still responded politely.
"impossible!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the ancestor of the Xia family shook his head firmly.
The ancestor of the Xia family muttered a few words that she couldn't understand, and then circled around her several times.
Finally, he said firmly: "I definitely didn't make a mistake. You have the token of love that brat gave you in your hands. How could I have made a mistake?"
A token of love?
Ruan Xihe lowered his head and looked at his empty hands; there was nothing in them.
Then he looked at 'Wuming' which was stuck in the ground at his feet, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
Just as Ruan Xihe was daydreaming, the eldest elder of the Xia family raised his hand, and a delicate, small yet extremely sharp dagger floated in his hand.
He said in a deep voice: "This item is a sacred item of our Xia family and is kept by each young master."
"When the young master meets a woman he likes, he will give this item to her. When the two get married and the young master becomes the head of the family, this item will be passed on to the next young master."
"This item is very important to the Xia family. The Xia family also has a family motto that prohibits giving this item to others casually."
And because this item was handed directly from each family head to the young master, most people in the Xia family only knew that there was a holy object but had never seen what it looked like.
The Great Elder had also seen it once by chance before and knew that the holy object was a dagger.
But when he saw today that this dagger could easily pierce through the Xia family's defensive shield spiritual weapon, he became even more certain.
Because there are restrictions on the holy object set by the ancestor of the Xia family. The Xia family is a weapon refining family, and the restrictions on this holy object can destroy all of the Xia family’s spiritual weapons!
Therefore, this item is very important, and the young master will never hand it over to anyone other than the one he recognizes.
Otherwise, once this secret is discovered by outsiders, the Xia family will be like a stripped lamb to be slaughtered.
After this explanation, Ruan Xihe understood.
But, this knife was found in the stomach of the white-haired python after she killed it in the Dark Moon Forest?
At this moment, there was a commotion among the crowd of onlookers, and a panting young man in brocade clothes pushed through the crowd and rushed over in a hurry.
It was Xia Yuanbai who arrived late.
Seeing Xia Yuanbai coming, the ancestor of the Xia family was even happier.
He couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth, which were almost stretched to the back of his ears. His face showed an uncontrollable gossipy expression, and he teased the two of them with a smile.
"You said they weren't a couple, but you came here in such a hurry."
Xia Yuanbai had just arrived, with his hands on his hips, panting.
Hearing what the Xia family's ancestor said, he was confused and asked in confusion: "Grandfather, why are you here? And what are you talking about?"
The head of the Xia family covered his mouth and laughed secretly, with an expression as if he had been hurt, and looked at Xia Yuanbai with a triumphant smile.
He poked Xia Yuanbai with a smile and made a "tsk" sound.
"Don't pretend, little brat. We all know it."
The head of the Xia family secretly complained in his heart, this brat has good acting skills and even wants to deceive them together with his daughter-in-law. Fortunately, they are smart and have discovered the truth long ago.
Xia Yuanbai was even more confused after hearing this. He scratched his head in confusion, and the confusion on his face became even more serious. "Dad, Grandfather, what's wrong with you? I don't understand what you are saying."
At this time, the great elder who had been observing the expressions of Ruan Xihe and Xia Yuanbai noticed something was wrong.
He pondered for a long time and asked, "Young Master, do you have the Xia family's sacred object?"
After hearing this, Xia Yuanbai's heart tightened.
The sacred object of the Xia family has been passed down from generation to generation and must not be lost, but he had previously accepted a mission from Nanzhan College, and when he was going to do the mission, the dagger was stolen on the way.
The dagger was a sacred object of the Xia family, so naturally it had the Xia family's restrictions planted on it. He could tell which direction the dagger was taken and track it all the way.
At first, the dagger appeared in Cheng Aiguo, then in the Blue Stripe Mountains, and finally in Zishang Country. But when he chased all the way to the Dark Moon Forest surrounding Zishang Country, the dagger had completely disappeared.
He didn't know whether the restriction on the dagger was directly erased by someone or for some other reason, but he couldn't sense the location of the dagger at all.
He naturally knew the importance of the holy relic, so he didn't dare tell his family. For more than half a year, he had been searching for it by himself.
If his grandfather and father knew about this, he would be skinned alive!
"Haha..." Xia Yuanbai shrank his neck and laughed a few times with a guilty conscience, "Of course it's with me."
The head of the Xia family and the ancestor of the Xia family looked at each other.
The Great Elder raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, can you please take out the holy object so that I can take a look?"
"this......"
Xia Yuanbai lowered his head, his tone hesitant.
Seeing this, Patriarch Xia frowned and asked, "Didn't you give the holy object away?"
Send someone?
Xia Yuanbai's eyes lit up. This was a good excuse!
