More than a year after Tang Zongbo returned to Hong Kong, due to the death of his wife and the infrequent presence of Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin, Zhang Zhongxian moved in with him to take care of him at ordinary times. Zhang Zhongxian's disciples have also dealt with foreign industries and are based in Hong Kong. Qiu Qiqiang, zhao gu and Hai Ruo live in a villa not far away. They go to the old Feng Shui hall every morning. They are used to coming to greet them and make breakfast for the two old people.

This morning, when all the trusted people were there, Xia Shao told Yi Ni's doubts and her own guesses at breakfast time.

These guesses, of course, shocked a table of people. Especially when I heard that it was last night, Tang Zongbo said, "you girl, how can you say it? Why didn't you say it last night?"

Xia Shao smiled and said, "it's very late after the banquet last night. I'm afraid you want to think about it all night." master is old after all. Although he has advanced cultivation and has been in good health, Xia Shao still hopes that the old man can sleep better at night. It's not too late to say these things in the morning.

Tang Zongbo sighed, "you child, such a big thing..." although he said so, the old man's eyes were still very moved. In his whole life, he accepted these two disciples with respect to friendship. Although he was knee deep, it was a pity to have these two disciples. [

"This cold old man! He used to protect himself and watched the sect fight inside! Now the leader senior brother didn't expel him from the sect because of his compassion. He didn't know how to be grateful to go abroad and found such a grandson-in-law! I think he did it on purpose!" at this time, Zhang Zhongxian angrily said.

"Younger martial brother Leng is a little afraid of things. Just because of this, I think he doesn't know the truth. Besides, girl Yi also said that she's not sure whether it's Xiao Yi or not. It's Xin'er. I didn't expect that she would learn black magic." Tang Zongbo's view is not as emotional as Zhang Zhongxian's. He just has a dignified face, "I saw Xin'er at Leng's house last night. Seeing that the child has a lot of cheerful temperament, I thought she really wanted to open up and didn't care so much about abolishing her Kung Fu. Unexpectedly, the child still drilled the tip of an ox's horn."

"That's right, elder martial brother of the leader! If you don't kill your fellow disciples for the sake of old man Leng's poor granddaughter, it's a capital crime to replace her with other disciples! It's very humane to keep her alive, but abolish the martial arts! If Xiaoshao guesses correctly, Xin'er has practiced black witchcraft, which is also her own problem." Zhang Zhongxian said.

Tang Zongbo sighed and asked Xia Shao, "how sure are you about this?"

Xia Shao looked at his master deeply, "eighty percent."

Tang Zongbo was stunned. Others couldn't understand Xia Shao's meaning. As a master, he has taught her to inherit martial arts since she was ten years old. Can he still understand the tacit understanding between teachers and disciples? This girl is afraid she saw something at the beginning of the day. If she's not sure of her temperament, she won't say wronging people.

Qiu Qiqiang looked at each other. Eighty percent? Isn't that equal to being sure?

"I think the most important thing at present is to find out whether leader Xiao is the one who plans us behind the scenes." Hai Ruo frowned. She has always been gentle, but now she looks dignified. She glances at Wen ye and her eyes are slightly cold. Leng Yixin practices black witchcraft again, and her skills have been abolished. Even if she has some obsession and can't let go, it poses little threat to the Xuanmen. The problem is that Xiao Yi, the leader of Maoshan, is an expert in refining spirit and empty realm. If he wants to deal with the Xuanmen, it's not only the leader's founder and two masters Except for martial uncle, the other disciples are not his opponents.

But she is not Xiao Yi's opponent. If it is confirmed that he is the one who hurt Xiao Yizi, she will never let him go!

"Indeed! This is the most important thing! The person behind the scenes needs to find out. Now he has eyes. Even if it is only possible, he should find out!" Qiu Qiqiang said.

Xia Shao looked at Xu Tianyin and said, "elder martial brother, I'll leave it to you. I remember Shifu talked to Xiao Yi on the phone when something happened to the dragon vein. He said he was dealing with sects and industries in Maoshan. If so, he should be in the mainland at that time."

"Well." Xu Tianyin nodded. He always went straight to the key point, "I'll give you all the information of Xiao Yi in a week."

Xia Shao understood what all the information represented. She nodded immediately, and the others were relieved. Xu Tianyin's identity and ability should not be difficult to do these things.

Xu Tianyin must be very confidential in collecting these materials. He needs a week, but Xia Shao can't stay in Hong Kong for a week. She originally planned to start working after the annual leave. She wanted to go to the company and take a seat in the town for a few more days to deal with things. Unexpectedly, all the itineraries were disrupted when she brought Adam to Hong Kong. Originally, it was to deal with Adam. Now Adam has returned to Britain, and Xia Shao is in Hong Kong There are still some things at home. When Tang Zongbo met Xiao Yi last night, he asked him what he planned to do. He said he would live in Hong Kong for some time. As for where to develop in the future, it depends on the decision of old man Leng and Leng Yixin.

Xiao Yi is going to live in Hong Kong for a while, but Xia Shao is not too worried about going home. If this person is really the one who plans the Xuanmen behind the scenes, his mind must be deep and hidden. With his style of behavior, he will certainly hide in the dark and stab the knife. In that case, he is very likely to avoid his time in Hong Kong. But Xia Shao still instructs Shifu and others before leaving, Be careful.

The day Xia Shao left Hong Kong was the day Xu Tianyin reported back to the military district. The two separated. Xu Tianyin returned to Beijing and Xia Shao returned to Dongshi.

……

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were surprised and happy, but the couple were even more surprised to see their daughter bring a friend back.

"Who is this?" Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stood up in the Xia family living room and looked at the petite and exquisite girl next to Xia Shao. [

"My college classmate, Yi Ni," Xia Shao said with a smile.

Yi Ni stood beside Xia Shao and looked at Li Juan with a smile. She looked a little cramped, "uncle and aunt."

She wanted to go back to the capital, but Xia Shao wanted to invite her to the Lantern Festival. She had never been to someone else's house for the festival in seven or eight years since she left the stockade. It was unprecedented to go to Hong Kong this year. She followed Xia Shao to Dongshi. Yi Ni still doesn't know why she didn't refuse at that time.

Yi Ni didn't bring any gifts when she came to Xia Shao's house. Although she grew up in the stockade, she has lived outside for several years and knows the etiquette of human relations. However, when Xia Shao got off the plane and took a taxi back to Xia Shao's house, she didn't have time to buy anything at all. At the moment, Yi Ni is rarely embarrassed when Xia Shao's parents look at her.

Li Juan got up with a smile and said, "Xiaoshao's classmate? This child doesn't tell us when she brought her classmate. Come on, come and sit down!" she said and invited Yi Ni to sit down next to the tea table. Yi Ni was stunned. Li Juan had driven her to sit down. Before she could react, Li Juan had turned and made tea.

Yi Ni doesn't know that Xia Shao seldom brings her classmates and friends to visit her home. In the past, when Huaxia group was not established, she had few friends and few people came. Now her family has moved to Taoyuan District, and many people want to come, but few can get in. Xia Shao has brought Xu Tianyin home. Although her same-sex friends, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan, have met, they have never come to Xia's home Guest. So the couple were a little more nervous than Yi Ni when they saw their daughter bringing friends back today.

At noon, Xia Zhiyuan and his wife naturally spent a lot of time entertaining their daughter's classmates. They originally planned to go to the hotel to eat, but Xia Shao said that it would be good to cook some home-made dishes at home. Li Juan couldn't resist her daughter, so she hurried to buy vegetables and got back into the kitchen to work. At noon, four people ate, and the dishes were placed on a full table. Sitting around the table, Yi Ni's eyes were hot There was a trance in the steaming meal.

Xia Zhiyuan smiled when he saw that Yi Ni was stunned and couldn't move her chopsticks. He said to his wife, "I told you not to do so much. Look, you set this table. Don't be like last time. You can't finish eating and break people."

Li Juan looked at her husband. "Was it my fault to cook too much last time? Some people didn't eat their son-in-law's vinegar and don't look good, forcing others to try to please us?"

Xia Zhiyuan immediately knew he was wrong again and said with a bitter smile, "OK, I'm wrong, you're right."

Li Juan chuckled.

Yi Ni looked at the middle-aged couple opposite through the heat of the meal and couldn't help drooping her eyes. She hadn't seen her father. From her memory, there was only her mother in her life. She never knew what her parents looked like when they were together.

"Xiaoyi, you don't see too many dishes. In fact, the taste is far worse than that of the hotel. We Xiaoshao don't often bring friends back for dinner, and we don't know how to entertain them. If there's something thoughtless, don't see it outside." Li Juan looked at Yi Ni with some worry and explained with a smile. Isn't it true that we have to cook too many dishes and greet too much, frightening people?

"No, No." Yi Ni reacted and waved her hand.

Xia Shao is the first time to see Yi Ni in such a hurry, which is very different from her usual ferocity and sharpness. Naturally, she knows the reason, which is also her intention to ask her mother to cook in person. First, she doesn't want Yi Ni to stay in Hong Kong. She has a strong temper and her mother's Revenge has not been repaid. Xia Shao is very worried that Yi Ni will do something irrational when she is away With her temperament, whether Xiao Yi is her enemy or not, she is likely to "rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go." However, her accomplishments are far from Xiao Yi's, and she may be the only one who has an accident. For her safety's sake, she must also leave Hong Kong. But Xia Shao also hopes to bring more warmth to her by bringing her back to her home. People who live in hatred are always tired, and a warm and relaxed life is good for Yi Ni.

During the meal, the atmosphere was still very harmonious. Li Juan gave full play to Xia Shao's preferences when she brought Xu Tianyin back. She asked how old Yi Ni was, what major she studied, and where she came from. But Li Juan was still measured. She never liked to inquire about other people's family background and asked about some common words.

When asked where Yi Ni was from, Yi Ni obviously stiffened her hand holding the bowl, but finally replied: "southern province."

"Yo!" Li Juan was surprised and looked at each other with Xia Zhiyuan. Xia Zhiyuan said, "it's quite far from Qinghai Province..."

"Isn't it? Now children are independent. When we were this age, how could we go out so far?" Li Juan said, looking at Yi Ni, looked at her and asked with a smile, "look, you are about the same age as Xiaoshao, and your parents should be about the same age as us? Don't worry, you can run so far alone."

Yi Ni's hand holding the bowl was stiff again. She bowed her head and said, "I haven't seen my father and mother... I'm no longer alive."

"...." Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan were stunned. The smile on Li Juan's face suddenly turned into concern, "how did you come here when your parents weren't around? Living in a relative's house?"

Xia Shao turns to look at Yi Ni. She was only 13 when she left the stockade. She doesn't know how she survived outside these years. [

Yi Ni bowed her head. She had no relatives. When she first came out of the stockade, she didn't know anything. She was young and there was no place to hire her. In the two years since she came out, she went to the streets to pick up the swill poured out by restaurants. For this reason, she robbed the territory and fought with the street vagrants. She used poison to subdue those people and got a pass from a famous local gangster boss Note. The Mafia in that place is the territory of the triad. The man knew how to be big, so he offered money to help him change his career. From then on, she used money to help people eliminate disasters. Within two years, she helped the man to go into business and make him a huge rich man. While she took the money to study, live and inquire about the enemy's interest. But the people were greedy. The man became a huge rich man. After tasting the sweetness, she dared to make her idea and want to make a fortune Raising her coincided with the news that his wife and children had hired underworld people to kill her. In a rage, she killed these people, took the man's property and left the city.

From then on, she lived and studied with that money and spent many years.

But Yi Ni didn't elaborate on these things. She didn't want to see the eyes of her friends or friends' families afraid of alienation. She didn't want to go back to those days when she didn't have friends and lived alone.

Yi Ni lowered her head and didn't say anything, but Li Juan was already in pity. Her parents died early and survived in the village with the help of her neighbors, so she felt the most deeply about these things. Moreover, she was also a mother. She always felt more distressed when she saw the children without mothers. So after this meal, Li Juan was booing Yi Ni, asking for warmth and care, and in the afternoon She took Yi Ni and talked for a while. When she went to bed at night, she specially thickened her bedding.

Yi Ni stayed at Xia Shao's house. During the day, she accompanied her to visit furuixiang antique shop or ceramic company, and came back to have dinner with Xia Zhiyuan and his wife in the evening. During this period, she also accompanied Xia Shao to Qingshi and stayed at the headquarters of Huaxia group for three days. She saw Xia Shao deal with the company affairs with great vigour, and also accompanied her to meet one of her friends who studied witchcraft.

When Xia Shao arrived in Qingshi, although she went to deal with the company's affairs, she still took time to go to the Hu family villa. The Hu family has been renovated by people from IDA real estate. Hu Jiayi accompanied her parents at home. When she saw Xia Shao, she looked in good spirit.

"Xiaoshao!" Hu Jiayi rushed over and looked as happy as before, but when she heard that Yi Ni was a demagogue, her happy smile faded when she remembered her own affairs, "I'm connected. In the past, when I first arrived in England, no one around me was kind to me, only Adam protected me. I looked forward to him, relied on him, and thanked him. Later, I thought I liked him, but now I think it might be mixed with a lot of impure feelings, and maybe... I'm going to stop seeing him and let time verify whether I'm true or not Some people like him. "

Xia Shao picked her eyebrows when she heard the speech. The worried little witch Hu Jiayi could show such a quiet and emotional smile at the moment. She must really want to understand something, "what are you going to do in the future?"

"I'll still go to the UK. But I won't go back to the magic school again. I'm already preparing to apply to the school for dropping out. My father's company has expanded its business in recent years and opened up markets in Europe. Some of his business friends in the UK have helped me contact Cambridge University. I plan to study business management in the school and go home after graduation The company helps take care of it, "said Hu Jiayi.

Xia Shao was surprised by this decision. She didn't expect Hu Jiayi to make a decision so quickly and decisively, which showed her some potential to inherit the family business in the future. Xia Shao naturally agreed with Hu Jiayi's decision. She only asked: "Now that you have made a decision, I hope you will try not to contact with the students in the witchcraft school in Britain in the future. You should know that those people are hostile to you. Don't provoke them again, so as not to bring danger to yourself and your friends."

As for whether to see Adam, Xia Shao didn't remind her much. She didn't know the danger faced by Adam. If she reminded her, she would guess something, which would bring danger to her.

Hu Jiayi nodded. That night, Xia Shao and Yi Ni stayed at Hu's house. Hu Guangjin and his wife were very happy about their daughter's decision and felt that she had finally grown up.

The next morning, Xia Shao drove back to Dongshi. The next day was the 15th day of the first month.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Xia family gathered again. The Xia Zhiqin family had returned to Qingshi. On that day, only two old people, Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao, came to Xia Shao's house for dinner. Except for Yi Ni, there was no difference from before.

The atmosphere of the reunion dinner was still very warm. The family discussed Xia Shao's engagement with Xu Tianyin. Before, Xia Shao didn't have time to fix the time. Now that Xia Shao came back, Xia Zhiyuan said: "I've discussed with your mother. I think it's best to set the engagement time in the winter and summer vacation. In this way, it won't delay your study, but we just put forward a plan. You go back to the capital tomorrow and bring the words to old man Xu for us and ask him what he means."

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "winter and summer vacation? Summer vacation is still half a year away. If it's scheduled for winter vacation, it's still one year away! Isn't it to kill Xiao Xu? I saw Xiao Xu last time... Eh? Xiao Xu?"

Xia Zhitao said something. His voice suddenly stopped. Na Na turned and looked out of the door.

At the door, a man in a valuable suit had come in. With a bouquet of roses and lilies in his arms, he looked into the house from a distance and his eyes fell on the woman who was eating.

"Elder martial brother?" Xia Shao stood up. Unexpectedly, Xu Tianyin would come to Xia's house from the capital.

But stunned, she remembered that today's 15th day of the first month, the so-called one week period from Xu Tianyin, had just arrived.
