Chapter 58: Senior brother shows his power
For a long time, Miss Wanqing was the first to come back to her senses.
She looked at Xia Daoming with worship in her beautiful eyes and said: "After listening to Xia Ye's song, Miss Wanqing realized that her skills were rough; please give me more guidance in the future, Xia Ye!"
"That's right, that's right, Xia Ye is too modest, saying that he only knows a little bit about playing the zither. If you only know a little bit, then we are really playing randomly!" The other girls echoed with sincere flattery.
The three of Master Yuchi Xiao watched Xia Daoming being surrounded by the girls again; this time, the three of them were convinced.
There was no helping it; his martial arts were powerful, his mouth was sharp, his zither skills were amazing, and he was young. What could they compare with him!
"Junior Brother Xia, this song is truly quiet, elegant, and pleasant to hear; you must teach Miss Wanqing. Once this song is released, it will definitely be able to surpass the Qunfang Pavilion," Liu Xiao Qiang said.
"No problem, but I only have time tonight. I'm going on a long journey tomorrow, and I estimate it will take a month or so before I can come back," Xia Daoming said very simply.
"Uh, is the junior brother going on a long journey again?" Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang and the others were all a bit surprised.
"I have some private matters to attend to," Xia Daoming said.
"It is said that the rebel army has been unable to attack the state city for a long time, and their troops have scattered to attack other cities in the southeast region. Now, the closer you are to the state city, the more chaotic it is.
Other places are also much more chaotic than in previous years. Xia Shidi brother, you must pay attention to safety on this trip. Why don't I allocate a few bodyguards to accompany you?
They are all Third or Fourth-Rank Martial Masters and often walk the rivers and lakes, so they are relatively familiar with various places. With them following, you should be able to avoid a lot of trouble," Zhuo Zhuo Xingji said.
"Xia Shidi Zhuo, this suggestion of yours is very good. Your people are old hands in the rivers and lakes; it would be best to have them accompany you," Master Yuchi Xiao nodded when he heard this.
"Right, right, I'll cover the hard work fees," Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang followed closely.
"Xia Shidi sister, what kind of talk is this? Daoming is your junior brother, isn't he also my junior brother? What's wrong with me sending a few bodyguards to accompany him? And you want to pay? Isn't this insulting me?" Zhuo Zhuo Xingji was immediately unhappy when he heard this.
"Oh my, Senior Xia Shidi Zhuo, it's all my fault for not explaining clearly. Look, this time Daoming is going to teach Miss Wanqing how to play 'Three Variations of Plum Blossoms.' If I say I want to pay, the junior brother definitely won't take it.
But this song is really rare, and I feel a bit uneasy taking it for nothing, so I thought it would be just right to use this money to hire your people, wouldn't it?
I naturally know that senior brother is heroic and righteous, but your family has a big business, and you have to spend money everywhere. Suddenly using several bodyguards must be a not-so-small expense," Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang explained hurriedly.
"I think what Xia Shidi Sister Liu said makes sense. However, Xia Shidi carries the master's high expectations, and the future prosperity of the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall will also depend on him. We senior brothers and sisters have all received the master's painstaking cultivation, so we should naturally shoulder the responsibility of supporting the junior brother.
So this money, it shouldn't be just Senior Xia Shidi Zhuo paying, nor should it be just the junior sister paying. In my opinion, we senior brothers and sisters should all pay together," Jiao Jiao Yongbao said.
When Jiao Jiao Yongbao said this, Xia Daoming couldn't help but be slightly moved.
This senior brother of his was famously stingy and couldn't bear to spend money when coming to the Yaohua Pavilion; every time, Zhuo Xingji paid the bill.
He didn't expect that today he would suddenly become generous, which was truly beyond Xia Daoming's expectations and made him feel very warm.
Having such senior brothers and senior sister, it was not in vain that he gave out that bottle of Longevity Jade Liquid!
Of course, Jiao Jiao Yongbao and the others didn't know that the Longevity Jade Liquid in Liang Liang Jingtang's hands came from Xia Daoming.
"I think what Jiao Yongbao said makes sense; let's all pay for this expense together," Master Yuchi Xiao nodded.
"Cough, cough, three senior brothers, senior sister, you are only discussing and deciding on your own; why don't you ask for my opinion?" Xia Daoming saw that the three senior brothers and senior sister had decided on his affairs in a few words, and couldn't help but interrupt with a wry smile.
Just kidding, he is now an Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi, and an Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi whose meridians are constantly reinforced.
Except for Grandmasters, who can turn force into form and project it, he hadn't seen any other methods, so he felt a bit nervous and didn't dare to act rashly.
As for martial masters below the Grandmaster level, Xia Daoming wouldn't take them seriously at all!
Even Xu Xu Shixiong, who was the most prominent in Li Cheng, he was confident he could beat him to the ground with one hand!
When he travels, does he need bodyguards at the Third or Fourth-Rank Wu Shi level to protect him?
Besides, with bodyguards around, how can he play cards with Liu Liu Qiaolian on the way!
That's a long journey of a month or so!
"You are the junior brother; this matter is not up to you; we have the final say!" Master Yuchi Xiao put on the dignity of a senior brother.
"Hehe, but after returning from the Vast Mountains, the master has already clearly designated me as his successor; speaking of which, if it were in a sect, I would already be the young sect master!" Xia Daoming said proudly.
"Damn! I can't tell, you kid are even crazier than Gu Ren; you dare to put on the airs of a manager in front of us now. Do you believe that senior brother... cough, cough, senior brother can't beat you alone, but there is Zhuo Xingji and the others; we will go together and see how we fix you!"
"Miss Wanqing and all the beauties, please go out first; I have some words to discuss with my senior brothers and senior sister," Xia Daoming ignored Master Yuchi Xiao and smiled at Miss Wanqing and the others.
"Yes, Xia Ye, we will take our leave!" Miss Wanqing and the others bowed and went out, and conveniently helped close the door.
"Why, are you kid really prepared to compete with us? I tell you, senior brother underestimated you last time; if we really talk about combat power, I don't necessarily lose to you by much!
Your Senior Xia Shidi Zhuo's strength is about the same as mine; that's two very powerful Fifth-Rank Great Martial Masters, plus Jiao Jiao Yongbao and Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang who have already cultivated Dark Force.
Among them, your Senior Xia Shidi Jiao was a more talented figure than Gu Ren back then; now that he has cultivated Dark Force, he is not inferior even when facing a Fifth-Rank Great Wu Shi.
You kid dare to openly challenge us senior brothers and sisters; if senior brother doesn't show you some power today, won't you turn the world upside down in the future!" Master Yuchi Xiao became more and more energetic as he spoke, and at the end, he even slapped the table majestically.
There was no helping it; he had been hit by this kid all night, and his chest was still hurting; now that he finally had a chance to show off the dignity of a senior brother and relieve the depression in his heart, how could he miss it?
"That's right, if I, senior brother, don't show my power, you really think I, the chief bodyguard, am..." Zhuo Zhuo Xingji also raised his hand and wanted to slap the table.
However, his hand was raised in mid-air, but he couldn't slap it down.
Because at this moment, Xia Daoming actually emitted the force aura of six meridians.
The private room instantly became so quiet that you could hear a needle drop on the ground.
Master Yuchi Xiao and the others were stunned like clay sculptures.
Damn, it hasn't been long, and he's already Sixth-Rank!
Is this still a human?
Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang was no exception.
She was only a Fourth-Rank Wu Shi, and her knowledge was limited; she didn't know that the gestures Xia Daoming made on her body that night were an incredible skill that only a profound Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi could do.
Before this, she still naively thought Xia Daoming was still a Fifth-Rank Great Wu Shi.
Looking at the four people of Master Yuchi Xiao who were stunned like clay sculptures, Xia Daoming felt secretly proud in his heart.
Making a fuss, they haven't seen the world!
If I revealed my identity as an Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi, wouldn't I scare you all to the ground!
Fortunately, I am humble and low-key!
"Senior Xia Shidi Master Yuchi, Senior Xia Shidi Zhuo, come, come, junior brother is very curious, what exactly do you look like when you show your power?" Xia Daoming looked at Master Yuchi Xiao and Zhuo Zhuo Xingji with a smile.
"Cough, cough! Xia Shidi brother, when did you advance to the Sixth-Rank? Such a big happy event, why didn't you say a word earlier? Senior brother would have prepared a big red envelope for you!"
"That's right, that's right, such a big happy event, why didn't you say it earlier? You must have wanted to give us a surprise, right?"
Master Yuchi Xiao and Zhuo Zhuo Xingji rubbed their hands and accompanied him with a smile.
Just kidding, when he was Fifth-Rank, he played with Master Yuchi Xiao like a toy.
Now that he is already Sixth-Rank, just thinking with his toes, he knows that beating the four of them is like playing with a toy!
What kind of power is there to show!
Looking at Master Yuchi Xiao and Zhuo Zhuo Xingji rubbing their hands and accompanying him with a smile, Jiao Jiao Yongbao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just a moment ago, he almost rushed up to show his power!
Only Liu Liu Xiao Xiao Qiang looked at Xia Daoming with flowing autumn waves, full of love.
Just now, although Master Yuchi Xiao and the others pulled her in, she never thought about going up.
Just kidding, her cultivation of Dark Force was accomplished by Xia Daoming.
If she really wanted to give him some color, she would go to her boudoir. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
