In order to prevent missing out on talent, there is a revival match after each round of the local competition. Although there are more than 50 matches in the first round, it ends at noon. The longest match only takes more than ten minutes, and the shortest even takes seconds. This gap amazed many people, and they were waiting for the second round of competition two days later. As for the revival match in the afternoon, there were very few people watching.

After the audience left, the city lords from all over the country called their teams to discuss their opinions and future plans. Yang Zhen looked at the five people in front of him and said to Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang:

"You guys go first, go back and have a good rest and prepare for the next round!"

"The city lord is leaving."

After Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang left, Yang Zhen sighed and said meaningfully:

"The further we go now, the higher our future prospects will be. No matter what, we must not fall in the first round and find a way to make it through. We must do our best in the revival match in the afternoon!"

When Pan Rui nodded seriously, he glanced at Shu Shuang's back, but he could only look up to her.

"good!"

After Xia Jinghong finished speaking, he walked past Lin Jing without saying goodbye. He stopped in front of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, patted their shoulders, and gave them great recognition.

"Go back and continue practicing."

Xia Xiao wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xia Jinghong.

"Don't worry, come with me first."

Xia Jinghong glanced at Sun Wei standing beside him, and Xia Xiao immediately understood.

"You go back first."

Xia Jinghong waved his hand, and he and Xia Xiao followed Sun Wei and went up to the second floor where the auditorium was empty.

If he went to find Sun Wei now, he would definitely say thank you, but things were a little more complicated than Xia Xiao thought.

There was a lot of garbage left by the audience on the second floor. Several elderly people cleaned it up quickly. It could be seen that Sun Wei and his two companions had come, so they left for the time being.

Sun Wei, who was leaning against the railing, looked at Xia Jinghong and Shu Shuang as they approached. His expression gradually became friendly, and even showed some respect. Behind him, Lin Jing saw the three of them being alone together, and felt jealous. Are they making a secret deal? Could it be related to him?

Lin Jing was now extremely perceptive. Thinking of this, he asked everyone in the venue to leave, for fear of attracting the disgust and gazes of the Xia family and Sun Wei.

Soon, there were only three people left in Yunxiao Tower.

Xia Jinghong brought Xia Xiao to Sun Wei and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your care, sir."

Xia Jinghong has always bent his back only for capable and loyal people. Although he doesn't understand Sun Wei now, he is definitely not a villain.

When the short Sun Wei saw this, he hurried forward and held Xia Jinghong's arm.

"General Jinghong, you are too polite. Although you and I have never interacted with each other, we are both loyal men. Please don't embarrass me like this."

"Then listen to what Brother Sun says."

"General Xia, time is precious. I can't interact with you during the local elections, so I'll just say it straight away!"

After announcing the end of the first round, Sun Wei gave Xia Jinghong a look, and he brought Xia Xiao with him. Looking at Sun Wei at this time, something big should happen.

"I am delayed on this trip, and I have a letter for you."

Sun Wei took out the envelope from his arms. Although there was no name on it, Xia Xiao and his son could roughly guess it.

“But it was sent by the Su family?”

“Really!”

The Su family rarely sent letters, but every time they did, there was something important. For example, when Xia Xiao was able to practice, they said that the Zhu family knew about it and wanted to take action. What could it be this time? Seeing Xia Jinghong and Xia Xiao's impatient look, Sun Wei felt a little sad. A dignified Zhongwu general, according to his outstanding military achievements, he should have been a third-rank Yunhui general, but he didn't expect to end up like this today. But fortunately, the day of turning over is not far away.

"I have been busy with the local competitions in the past few months. I don't know much about the Dynasty and cannot tell you orally, but I believe this letter must contain something you want to know."

"Thank you, Uncle Sun!"

Xia Xiao bowed again and took the letter, causing Sun Wei to smile.

"General Jinghong's family are all extraordinary. Xia Xiao, you are the best one. Now the opportunity is right in front of us. I believe in you, and I believe in Mr. Su's vision even more. So you must show your excellence without hesitation so that Wang Chao can see that you are going back!"

Sun Wei, who had watched the entire competition, could easily see that Xia Xiao was definitely the best among these people. The only one who could compete with him for the first championship was Lin Tian. But he vaguely felt that Xia Xiao was stronger than Lin Tian. But he was afraid that Xia Xiao was young and not calm, and would make mistakes, which would be too unprofitable.

Sun Wei didn't understand Xia Xiao, otherwise he wouldn't have had such thoughts. But when he saw the latter's determined eyes, he felt relieved.

"Xia Xiao, remember this!"

Under Xia Jinghong's proud gaze, Xia Xiao performed very well, and then Sun Wei said:

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I wish you a safe journey."

After exchanging a glance with Xia Jinghong, Sun Wei disappeared. He left Xia Xiao's sight in an instant. With such strength, he should be in the Venerable Realm like his father!

It was quiet here, so Xia Jinghong sat on the second floor and asked Xia Xiao to open the letter.

The envelope was extremely thick, and it contained information about the exposure of the Zhu family's affairs, the advice of the ministers in the morning court to stay, and the matter of Si Buwen in the National Elders' Council. Even the enemies of Wanling Valley were listed for Xia Xiao, and corresponding to them were the people who could definitely help Xia Xiao.

Seeing this, Xia Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief and said thankfully:

"The Su family is our benefactor!"

Xia Xiao nodded. On the letter in his hand, Su Huan's name was at the top of the camp that could protect himself.

Most of the events in this letter happened two months ago, but the Su family did not send the letter at that time, certainly because they did not want to disturb Xia Xiao's practice. The letter came at this time, firstly, they discovered the strong young people who were bribed by the National Elders' Institute, and secondly, they found some outstanding young people to protect Xia Xiao. It can be seen how much Su Zhongmou was attentive, and this powerful calligraphy that penetrated the back of the paper is even more pleasing to the eye!

After dealing with the Zhu family, the first thing Xia Xiao will do is to thank the Su family. The Xia family owes them too much!

"Father, what do you think His Majesty thinks?"

This letter was written by Su Zhongmou himself, and it directly expressed the emperor's intentions, which made Xia Xiao a little nervous. If he was involved in the dispute between the emperor and the National Elders' Council, his future life and position would be tightly bound, and he might even have difficulty in being free. Therefore, Xia Xiao wanted to hear his father's opinion!

"You have never met the emperor, so you don't know his situation. He is young and energetic, and he listens to the opinions of his ministers and makes up for his own shortcomings. He has great potential. The ministers all say that he will be a wise ruler in the future. But his age is also a disadvantage. He sometimes has difficulty making up his mind, especially when the Council of Elders intervenes in political affairs and he is often controlled by them."

"In other words, he is doing this now to consolidate his own regime?"

"Yes!"

Xia Jinghong stood up. He had not asked about the affairs of the court for a long time, but he could roughly guess that it was nothing more than a struggle between light and darkness, and a fight of ambitions!

"Xiao'er, you come from another world, how do you understand good and evil?"

"It's hard to understand, but there is no absolute good or evil."

Xia Jinghong was not particularly satisfied, but nodded anyway.

"Si Buwen led the National Elders' Council to seize power, partly out of ambition, and partly to make Daxia develop faster. After all, the emperor's rule is still a little lacking. The emperor sticks to his position because of responsibility. When he was born into this world, he had the mission to coexist with Daxia. In comparison, we who are not members of the royal family are outsiders and cannot judge right or wrong. However, the Zhu family and the National Elders' Council have implicated too many people and caused too many innocent people to die. If the disturbance caused by this incident spreads to Wanling Valley, it will involve more people."

At this point, Xia Jinghong shut up. But Xia Xiao understood and said immediately:

"Father, I know what to do!"

"That's good. Although the road is still a little dark, if we keep going forward, we will reach the end sooner or later!"

His hand fell on Xia Xiao's shoulder, and the father and son jumped down the stairs and went outside. Today was sunny, but there was a strong wind. At this time, the strong wind was howling, causing Xia Jinghong and the others to speed up their pace and return to the inn!
