Today's competition was definitely the most exciting one for everyone. Not only did they see the talisman array, they also experienced two air waves that covered the entire venue. They will remember this thrilling experience for a long time, especially the last scene, when Xia Xiao sat in the contestant's seat, holding up his machete with his left hand, and Shu Shuang's right hand was placed on Su's shoulder. That domineering aura was unforgettable!

At the same time, the audience also became curious about how far Xia Xiao would go.

Gradually, everyone knew that Xia Xiao came from afar. The person in the ancient prophecy would definitely not be limited to Wanling Valley or the entire Daxia Dynasty, but would be... the entire Dahuang world!

This is the highest level of their cognition. Even if they imagine it, it is difficult to guess a higher level.

When walking out of the venue, countless people stopped to admire, and many people cursed behind them.

"Such a wide door, a row of buffaloes can walk through it neatly, why are they blocking it here?"

"What are you yelling about? Look!"

Some impatient people looked over and stopped where they were, smacking their tongues. They saw a crack over 30 meters long on the wall of the Yunxiao Building. This was the result of the battle between Xia Xiao and Lin Tian, ​​which was enough to imagine how strong their battle was!

Even if Xia Xiao leaves in the future, this crack will remind them of that terrifying boy. Under the warm winter sun, he once held a blood-red broadsword and incredibly defeated an opponent of higher level than himself, winning the title of the first champion!

"I am the son of prophecy!"

"I am!"

Several children picked up branches on the street and imitated Xia Xiao's knife-wielding style, fighting each other. They were inevitably scolded by their parents, saying that people coming from afar should not be offended casually. But the children didn't care, they all had a big dream of being a hero in their hearts. No one can stop the fantasy of youth, but they believe it to be true, and others can't say anything.

The Xia family left Yunxiao Tower before Lin Jing. When they saw the cracks on the wall, they were livid and filled with hatred, but they dared not speak out and could only swallow it. Even if it hurt, they had to endure it. This crack was the best warning, as if if they didn't stop, they would be like him.

Looking at the embarrassed Lin Tian on the stretcher, Lin Jing looked up at the sky. If there weren't so many people here, he would definitely kneel down and wail, "Oh God, I know I was wrong, please spare my Lin family!"

Lin Jing regretted it. If it happened again, he would definitely not have the idea of ​​harming Xia Xiao. Unfortunately, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions. The future of the Lin family was uncertain, and it all depended on Xia Xiao!

"Why--"

With a sigh, Lin Jing got on the carriage and disappeared from the sight of passers-by.

Xia Xiao returned to his residence, and Shu Shuang cleaned his wound and bandaged it. She was very skilled at these tasks, after all, she did them often. On the side, Xia Jinghong stood against the wall.

Xia Xiao took a nap on the way back in the carriage, and the pain caused by the disinfectant made him still conscious. He glanced at his father and murmured:

"One step closer to the imperial capital!"

Xia Jinghong nodded, but said distressedly:

"You have always been in the imperial capital and have never left."

Xia Xiao smiled with relief. He liked what his father said, which made Shu Shuang's beautiful eyes moist. Justice for the Xia family would soon return. They just needed to wait a little longer.

"Sun Wei has announced that we will be leaving in five days. Take good care of yourself these few days. Don't worry about the talisman array. I have found it for you."

It takes nearly half a month to go to Wanling City. The journey is long. In addition to practicing on the way, you have to practice the talisman formation, so that you can improve your strength faster. A few days ago, Xia Xiao asked his father to find a scroll of wood-type talisman formation for him. Although Rongcheng is quite prosperous in the local area, it is just a remote place where there is no talisman master. Xia Jinghong spent a lot of effort to find a decent talisman formation technique!

"Thank you, father."

"Who are you going to meet with the person you mentioned last time? How about letting Xu'er accompany you?"

Xia Xiao shook his head and turned over. There were many scars on his back. He looked at the white wall. Although his tone was light, his meaning was extremely firm and unshakable.

"We were driven out of the imperial capital, and they had to invite us back."

Xia Jinghong agreed, but it was hard to find a companion, so the companion had to be trustworthy.

"Can I?"

The female voice at the door attracted the attention of the three people, and they saw Huiyue standing outside the door. The game had just ended, and Xia Xiao was injured again, so she waited for a while before coming over, just in time to hear this.

Xia Jinghong didn't know what to say and looked at Xia Xiao.

"I can take good care of you, and I can also see the world."

Huiyue was quite active and wanted to seize this opportunity. She didn't know where Wanling Valley was, nor what the imperial capital looked like. But Xia Xiao needed someone now, so she stepped forward.

"no!"

Huiyue asked quickly:

"Why? There is no need to fight on this trip. I am only responsible for your daily life!"

"No means no."

Xia Xiao looked like he had nothing to discuss, he had his own plans. He was not playing house, it was not that having one more person of the opposite sex would be more fun, as the Su family's letter said, the National Elders' House was now paying attention to him, this was known to the whole court. If Huiyue was hurt, he would definitely feel bad, and how would he explain it to her family? In the final analysis, for safety reasons, he could not bring her in!

"Then how will you take care of yourself while you are training? I heard from them that it will take fifteen days to get to Wanling Valley from here. Lin Tian and the others have followers, so it won't be possible for you and Shu Shuang alone."

When she was mentioned, Shu Shuang quickly lowered her head. She did not express her opinion. She listened to Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao hesitated for a moment, Huiyue frowned, and continued:

"We have Lord Sun with us along the way, and we will have teachers from Ningshen Academy in Wanling City, so we don't have to worry about safety!"

"Xiao'er."

Xia Xiao looked at his father and heard him say:

"If there is no better candidate, let's go with Huiyue. She has been with you for a long time, and you can trust her. If you find someone you are not familiar with, not only you, but I will also be worried."

In fact, the most important thing is that Huiyue is thoughtful. Xia Jinghong also sees her enthusiasm at this moment. It will be much more convenient to bring such a person along.

"Thank you, uncle."

Huiyue smiled brightly, she didn't expect Xia Jinghong to speak for her. Xia Xiao hesitated again and again, but still didn't agree immediately.

"Wait until your parents agree!"

"They will definitely agree."

Huiyue was full of confidence. Not to mention a trip, she thought her parents would agree if she pledged her love to him. After all, it was Xia Xiao who saved her family. Huiyue always understood how to repay a favor.

"You take a rest first, I'll go home and talk now."

Huiyue was a little excited. When she rushed out the door, Xia Jinghong followed her.

"Huiyue, don't worry, there are still five days."

Huiyue, standing on the stairs, looked at Xia Jinghong who was approaching slowly, and said as if swearing:

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. It's what I should do."

"But Huiyue, I have to remind you of something."

"Uncle, you say."

Huiyue is quite mature and has no problem taking care of people, but Xia Jinghong is worried about the same thing as Xia Xiao, which is her safety.

"Do you know why Xia Xiao doesn't want you to go?"

"Worried about my safety?"

Huiyue and Xia Xiao have been together for so long that she thought she knew him well. Xia Jinghong nodded, indicating that she had guessed correctly.

"Some people are against us now. On the way to Wanling City, you must be careful. If there is any danger, you must protect yourself first, so that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang can stretch their hands and feet to deal with it."

Huiyue's eyes sparkled with intelligence and she nodded immediately.

"I see."

"Okay, let's go back!"

After Huiyue disappeared in the crowd, Xia Jinghong returned to the inn opposite the pharmacy.

Huiyue's family had no reason to disagree with this, so she started to prepare things. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang only needed to prepare their own clothes, and the rest was left to Shu Shuang.

Facing the unknown journey, Huiyue had some small expectations. What would she encounter along the way? She had never been to the world outside Rongcheng. At this moment, she stared at the night sky in a daze.
