"How? Have you contacted the Holy Spirit King?" Xue Qianqiu raised her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and put aside the documents in her hand.

The man didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.

"I see, you go out." Xue Qianqiu waved her hands, her expression a bit dignified.

He has not been in contact with the Holy Spirit King for hundreds of years. Although he has been working for the Holy Spirit King, he has already lost contact.

If Holy Spirit Son hadn't suddenly appeared in Shangsanshi, he didn't know when he would contact Holy Spirit King.

He wanted to confirm Suning's identity. Before the King of the Holy Spirit personally admitted, Suning's identity as the son of the Holy Spirit could only be guessed, not confirmed.

"Su Ning..." Xue Qianqiu got up and paced, with many thoughts.

"Go and call Xia Xiao." Xue Qianqiu shouted suddenly, the guard at the door was stunned for a moment, and without any hesitation, he quickly nodded and set off.

Half an hour later, several cups of tea had been drunk on the table, and Xia Xiao was not seen.

As far as the distance from Xia's house to the city lord's mansion is concerned, it will take at most one stick of incense to reach it, even if it is walking.

As time passed by, Xue Qianqiu's originally calm heart was a little sullen.

"Come on, can you go and see where the Patriarch of the Xia family has gone?" Xue Qianqiu asked, with a hint of irritation in her words.

As soon as the guards left, they saw the guards walking in with Xia Xiao slowly.

"City Master, the Patriarch of the Xia family is here." The guard said.

Xue Qianqiu nodded, turned her back and did not look at Xia Xiao directly.

Xia Xiao's ingratiating smile froze for a moment. After bowing his hands and bowing, he stood there awkwardly, and said bitterly, "I don't know what the city lord wants me to do today?"

"Patriarch Xia is so arrogant, it takes half an hour for a journey of more than ten minutes!"

"Some accidents happened suddenly in the clan, so the delay is late, I hope the city lord will forgive me."

After all, Xue Qianqiu helped to mediate the previous conflict between the Xia family and the Nangong clan, and Xia Xiao couldn't be too domineering.

He can't tell Xue Qianqiu the truth about his late arrival, then the Xia family is probably gone by now.

"Oh? What's the big family that needs to be busy for so long!" Xue Qianqiu reprimanded angrily, in front of so many guards, she didn't save Xia Xiao any face.

He has seen every report about Suning being chased and killed by Xia's family. The methods are ruthless and the pursuit is fierce. It is clear that Suning is going to be put to death.

The Xia family dares to be so arrogant now that it has fallen to this point. In the past, when the family was huge, they didn't know how many unreasonable things they did.

How many things did Xia Xiao do under his nose? The doubts in his heart were even worse.

Sensing Xue Qianqiu's anger, Xia Xiao didn't say anything even if he felt dissatisfied.

The revitalization of their Xia family still needs the strong support of the city lord. Now the only one who is willing to lend a helping hand to the Xia family is the city lord. If even the city lord is disappointed in him, it is tantamount to ruining the future of the Xia family.

"I don't dare to do it next time, no, there will never be a next time!" Xia Xiao promised, raising his hand as if swearing.

Xue Qianqiu snorted coldly, and his awe-inspiring back stood straighter. He said slowly, "You are really ignorant! During this time, I tried my best to help you cover up. Excuse me, why do you want to hunt down Suning with great fanfare?"

"Aren't you breaking your own way?"

"I... I'm sorry, City Lord." Xia Xiao's lips moved, and he apologized and admitted his mistake just as he uttered a word.

If it wasn't for revitalizing the Xia family, when would Xia Xiao have to be so humble?

It's nice to say that he has carried a lot of gossip for the Xia family, isn't it because Xue Qianqiu wants to maintain the stability of the upper three cities?

Of the four major families with balanced strengths, if one family loses, who knows what kind of bloody storm will be set off in the upper three cities?

In this matter, Xue Qianqiu had no choice but to help the Xia family.

Even though he understood these twists and turns, Xia Xiao didn't dare to say it clearly, and still bowed his head and apologized humbly.

"The pursuit of the Xia family has caused quite a stir in the Shangsan City. You should go back and write a report." Xue Qianqiu raised her eyes and said, observing Xia Xiao's expression without showing any trace.

Xia Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Yes."

In the end, after a few simple instructions, Xia Xiao left the City Lord's Mansion, tried his best to suppress the desire to curse people along the way, and did not attack until he returned to Xia's house.

With the bright moon hanging high, Xue Qianqiu couldn't fall asleep, so he summoned a guard at random, "How's the situation in the Xia family?"

"Xia Xiao lost his temper after returning and smashed Xia's family into pieces." The guard replied.

"Oh, brainless thing!" Xue Qianqiu cursed.

"If you ask me, the city lord shouldn't be so merciful to the Xia family. A family style like the Xia family can't be on an equal footing with the other three families."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Sorry, Santo."

"Back off."

Frightened by Xue Qianqiu's sudden anger, the guard bowed away.

Why doesn't he know that the Xia family is not worthy? It's just that after this big lesson, the Xia family can improve, since he doesn't take these reprimands to heart.

It is not impossible to leave only three big families in Shangsanshi! The quiet and stable Shangsan City should also be reshuffled!

After making a decision in his heart, Xue Qianqiu ordered to go down and immediately withdraw the people monitoring the Huangfu family and Dongfang family.

These two families probably couldn't sit still for a long time, if it wasn't because Xue Qianqiu sent people to watch them, they would have annexed Xia's family like a hungry wolf, so there is no chance of revitalization.

Xue Qianqiu looked up at the sky, it seemed that he was not the only one who had no sleep tonight.

It's been a long night, and the show has just begun. The corners of his lips curled up, his smile didn't reach his eyes, and the fierce determination in his eyes made the guard shudder.

The expression full of scheming and scheming appeared again after many years. It had been a long time since he had seen such an expression on his face, and the guard quickly looked away.

What a murder with a borrowed knife, it was Xue Qianqiu who had murderous intentions towards the Xia family and deliberately let people from the other two families do it, but the city lord's mansion was sitting on its own to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Did Xue Qianqiu, who was cold and kind in everyone's eyes, finally make a move?

Suddenly white snow floated in the air, and after a long time, the snow became bigger and bigger, piling up on the ground with a thickness of one foot.

"What is Xue Qianqiu? When my Xia family was still strong, how dare he reprimand me like this? Now that my Xia family has only collapsed for a few days, he dares to point fingers at me!" Xia Xiao angrily threw all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings at home , Lingshi elixir scattered all over the ground does not feel bad.

"Patriarch, there are people from the City Lord's Mansion nearby." Xin Longtang walked over, looked around carefully and reminded.
