Chapter 113 He can finally appear openly at the Xia family!
"Father, Mother, shouldn't we ask Third Brother what he thinks?"
Xia Mo spoke with a hint of sadness. She had already realized that her third brother also wanted to serve under Jiang Wang Huangfuqian, and she... didn't want her third brother to be upset.
"Yes, yes, yes," Xia's father said, somewhat surprised, but then he understood.
After Xia Mo was born, she was taken care of by Xia San Ge, and the two siblings had a very close relationship.
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow. Are there still people who are unwilling to work for their master?
Xia Sange was just as excited as a dog a moment ago; if he had a tail, he would have been wagging it vigorously. But now…
Xia Sange cared about Xia Mo's feelings, so he suppressed his happiness and looked at Xia Mo nervously.
Xia Mo took a deep breath and then asked, "Third Brother, what are your own thoughts?"
Xia Sange was certainly "willing," but...
Xia Sange said cautiously, "I'll listen to my little sister. What do you think, little sister? Would it be alright for me to join forces with King Jiang?"
Xia Mo felt a lump in her throat, but she smiled and said, "I support Third Brother. Whatever Third Brother wants to do, he should do it."
Xia Sange was still worried about Xia Mo and asked nervously, "Little sister, do you... not want your third brother to follow King Jiang?"
“No,” Xia Mo shook her head decisively, quickly adding to her statement to make it more convincing, “I just can’t bear not seeing you for a long time.”
But then she realized that what she said next was somewhat like trying to hide something obvious.
Xia Mo looked at Xia's father and mother with some confusion.
Xia's mother stepped forward, hugged Xia Mo, and said, "Nannan, you're reluctant to part with your third brother, but it's alright. Nannan is very capable now. In the future, if your third brother doesn't have time to come back, we'll go see him."
Xia Mo nodded vigorously.
Jiang Feng looked at the warm and cozy atmosphere of this family and began to like it.
“Master still has business to attend to in Anping County and will not be leaving for the time being,” Jiang Feng felt that there was no need to let this warm home become tainted with the sadness of parting so soon.
Upon hearing this, Xia Sange was not in a hurry to leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, I'm not leaving so soon," Xia Sange said.
Xia Mo was somewhat surprised.
“Your name is Xia Shengqiu. Your identity token will not be given to you until next spring. You can’t just stay at home now. Once you’re under your master’s command, your abilities need to catch up,” Jiang Feng said, pulling out a thick booklet from his pocket.
“You need to practice the moves in this book first,” Jiang Feng paused, glanced at Xia’s father, eldest brother, and second brother, and said, “You can also practice the moves in this booklet; it’s good for self-defense.”
He knew that Xia Shengqiu was strong and could lift more than 400 jin (200 kg), and that his elder brother Xia and his second brother Xia were also strong and could handle weights of around 200 jin (100 kg).
When Brother Xia and Brother Xia's eyes lit up when they heard that they could also practice, they were immediately excited.
"Thank you, thank you," Xia's father said excitedly, thanking Jiang Feng repeatedly.
"It was all ordered by my master. I was just doing my job," Jiang Feng waved his hand, glancing at Xia Mo as he spoke.
Jiang Feng was puzzled. Xia Mo knew that Huangfu Qian was the King of Jiang, so why hadn't he tried to curry favor with him yet?
Jiang Feng thought of a certain point, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Xia Mo's feelings for Wei Zhishu weren't based on his identity at all?
Jiang Feng left.
The Xia family members were overjoyed and couldn't wait to open the booklet and start practicing the moves listed.
Xia Mo glanced at it twice and memorized all the moves in the booklet.
"I'm going to ask my master for a medicinal bath to strengthen my body!"
As summer drew to a close, she left those words behind and ran off with a cheerful stride.
Xia's father and the others turned their gaze away from the booklet and looked at Xia Mo, who had run away. Then, all eight pairs of eyes turned to Xia's third brother.
Xia Sange swallowed hard and said cautiously, "How about... we still refuse?"
Father Xia raised his hand and slapped Third Brother Xia's arm hard, making a "smack" sound. He said, "What are you saying! Follow King Jiang and work hard. Don't be half-hearted, understand?!"
"Yes!"
Xia Sange stood up straight, and nodded solemnly to Xia's father with a serious expression.
"Work hard, and when you make it big, things will get better for the family," Xia's mother said with a smile.
Xia Sange nodded solemnly.
Xia's father glanced at Xia's third brother, as if he had thought of something, a look of loneliness flashed across his eyes, and he was unwilling to mention it to his family.
With Jiang Feng's tacit approval, the news that Xia Sange was going to follow a very powerful person spread quickly in Anjia Village. The fact that Huangfu Qian's identity was not revealed was also because Jiang Feng did not allow the identity of King Jiang to be revealed.
The news reached Wei Zhishu's ears.
Inside Ma Yiyi's bedroom at the Ma family home—
Wei Zhishu was arranged by the Ma family to share a room with Ma Yiyi.
At this moment, Wei Zhishu was standing in front of Ma Yiyi's simple dressing table. He was supporting himself on the table with one hand and pressing his own heart, which was throbbing with pain, with the other hand, making his face contorted.
In the past, it was difficult for him to obtain Xia Mo! Now... with Huangfu Qian as his backer, does he still have a chance to obtain Xia Mo?
The more Wei Zhishu thought about Xia Mo, the more intense the pain in his chest became. He couldn't help it; it was like a vicious cycle. The more he thought about Xia Mo, the more his chest ached.
Ma Yiyi stood nervously beside Wei Zhishu, lost in thought.
There are only two ways for her to obtain Xia Mo's luck.
First, every time Xia Mo experiences a near-death experience, a portion of her luck is lost, which she then takes away.
She is no longer someone Xia Mo trusts, and she can no longer deceive Xia Mo into taking risks!
Second, as the Xia family's life becomes increasingly difficult, Xia Mo will be affected, and her luck will also be lost!
But now the Xia family is doing better and better, and Xia Sange has even followed a very powerful person!
What should she do?
And yet, even the main questline drops it!
Recently, the luck points she's gained from main quests have dropped to 69%. She's unsure if those 69 points will drop any further.
* * *
The next day—
December 3rd.
Wei Zhishu should leave Anjia Village. He lives with the Ma family and doesn't like living there, but he's reluctant to leave. He seems to be lingering in Anjia Village and has no intention of leaving.
Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng have come to Anjia Village!
Inside the main room of the Xia family residence—
Jiang Feng introduced Huangfu Qian to Xia Fu and the others.
“This is our master, King Jiang,” Jiang Feng introduced.
Xia's father looked at Huangfu Qian with surprise, who exuded two contradictory auras: a heroic and martial spirit and a scholarly air.
This person looks too refined, but he doesn't resemble the kind of person that storytellers talk about, who can fight his way in and out of the enemy army seven times!
Huangfu Qianying glanced at Xia Mo without leaving a trace.
Unbeknownst to those present, Huangfu Qian appeared calm and composed on the surface, but in reality, he was somewhat excited.
He can finally appear openly at the Xia family's house!
