Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 229: No Silver Hidden Here

Xia Mian squinted slightly, her gaze slowly falling on Xia Liang.

This old man’s attitude towards her is indeed quite sincere, but after not seeing each other for so many years, meeting for just one day and he already wants her to acknowledge her ancestry, isn’t that a bit too hasty?

"We haven’t spent much time together and don’t know each other well." Xia Mian smiled, "If you want me to recognize you, you should at least show some sincerity."

Xia Liang nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed he understood something.

"Let’s call it a day for practice, you guys go rest, and we’ll continue tomorrow!" Xia Liang was stroking his beard with one hand and waved at Xia Mian with the other, speaking slowly.

Xia Mian gave Xia Liang a suspicious glance, they were going back with Lu Zechuan already?

They hadn’t even been here for half an hour!

Wasn’t Xia Liang being a bit too perfunctory with them?

Xia Liang, however, didn’t care what Xia Mian was thinking, strolling along as he stroked his beard, looking up 45 degrees at the sky while waddling away!!!

Xia Mian blinked, "He’s already leaving?"

Lu Zechuan chuckled softly, "Perhaps we’re learning too quickly, and he’s afraid we’ll master it in one day?"

Lu Zechuan was originally joking, but little did he know, his words were quite close to the truth.

Xia Liang, already a bit of a distance away, vaguely heard these words, and his pace quickened immediately.

The Wood Clan’s boy and his lovely granddaughter were indeed a match made in heaven!

It’s not just that they’re both incredibly good-looking, but their talents are both of a heavenly level!

The Wood Clan’s boy has been in the current world for over twenty years, with no exposure to any magic!

Yet, in learning the Divine Clan’s magic, he seems to find it effortless!

Xia Liang’s eyes were deep, his gaze shifting.

There was once a betrothal between the Divine Clan and the Wood Clan, but later, with the Wood Clan’s upheaval, Xia Weiyang felt the declining Wood Clan no longer deserved to marry into the Divine Clan. So several times, people were sent to search for the whereabouts of the Wood Clan’s young master, even dispatching people to assassinate Lu Zechuan.

But now, Xia Mian was entangled with Lu Zechuan again.

Is this a destiny’s arrangement?

"Young Mistress!" A guard quickly approached Xia Mian with a beaming smile the moment Xia Liang left, "Young Mistress, how did you do it?"

Xia Mian slightly frowned, "Do what?"

"Just now..." The guard hadn’t finished speaking when they heard Xia Liang cough lightly in the distance before scolding, "You all! Do not disturb the young mistress’s meditation!"

The guards were startled, not sure why the Divine Master was so angry, but obediently moved away from Xia Mian.

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes, smiling.

This old man Xia Liang doesn’t seem to be very sharp!

His unusual behavior is like revealing a secret by trying to hide it.

"Let’s go look around. After all, our time here is limited." Xia Mian’s eyes turned slightly, twinkling with a clever light.

Earlier, she was about to glimpse the path out of this space, only to be interrupted by Xia Liang. She thought she had made a mistake, but now it seemed Xia Liang was afraid she would master the magic too quickly and escape?

Lu Zechuan walked side by side with Xia Mian, looking gentle, "Indeed, our time here is limited."

Just now, Lu Zechuan actually felt that with just a bit more effort, he could break free from this space, but was interrupted by Xia Liang at the crucial moment.

However, it’s alright, at least they knew their direction wasn’t wrong. By training in this direction, once they mastered the magic, they could leave here!

Thinking of this, both of them felt a relief in their hearts and were in the mood to stroll around the Divine Clan.

The Divine Clan was vast, and without anyone leading them, they wandered at will, watching the scenery along the way and observing the culture and customs of the Divine Clan.

The Divine Clan wasn’t solely composed of practitioners; outside the Divine Manor lived some ordinary people with not so great aptitude as well.

Like in the present world, they toiled for a livelihood.

Walking on the Divine Clan’s main street, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan saw various shops and vendors selling their wares.

The bustling street life exuded an air of peace and tranquility.

"Cousin," Xia Weizhang’s voice came from a shop, and only then did Xia Mian notice him standing in the entrance, smiling at them.

Xia Mian had grown immune to Xia Weizhang calling her cousin, nodding slightly, "Is this your shop?"

Xia Weizhang laughed, "Yes, I’m from a side branch with no abundant resources behind me, so to cultivate, I have to earn the resources myself."

Xia Mian looked up at Xia Weizhang’s shop, which had four words written on it: "Unmatched Pawnshop."

"A pawnshop?" Xia Mian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, any treasures I recognize can be pawned here." Xia Weizhang’s face bore a gentle smile, "Most items pawned by the Divine Clan members are family heirlooms, which are somewhat beneficial for my cultivation."

Xia Weizhang didn’t conceal anything from Xia Mian.

At this point, the fact that Xia Mian was the heir was almost an established fact.

If he wanted to compete, even the Divine Master wouldn’t permit it!

"Getting what you want through your own efforts is something to be respected." Xia Mian glanced at Xia Weizhang.

Xia Weizhang smiled lightly, compared to their first meeting, his smile bore a hint of desolation.

"Is the world outside... good?" Xia Weizhang asked softly.

Xia Mian glanced at him, "You can see for yourself someday."

Xia Weizhang gave a faint smile, "Alright."

Ding Cheng had been sent away, and Xia Weizhang felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.

He had asked the Great Elder where Ding Cheng was sent, but the elder wouldn’t tell him.

Afterwards, the Great Elder was dispatched by the Divine Master, so he didn’t get another chance to ask.

"Cousin, come in and have a seat, have some tea," Xia Weizhang invited Xia Mian inside.

Xia Mian thought about it and indeed wanted to see what was in Xia Weizhang’s pawnshop, so she stepped inside.

The pawnshop was quiet, with only one shop assistant organizing the pawned items behind the counter.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan sat in the shop, and Xia Weizhang had tea brewed for them, accompanying them as they drank and chatted.

Before they finished their tea, a customer came into the shop.

The visitor wore a black veil hat and a black cape, fully covered from head to toe.

After entering, they walked straight to the counter, placing a black cloth bag on it, "How much is this worth?"

The shop assistant took the bag silently, opening it for a look, hesitating for a moment before glancing at Xia Weizhang, "Young Master, please come take a look."

Xia Weizhang nodded slightly at Xia Mian, then walked to the counter.

When he opened the black cloth bag and saw what was inside, his eyes immediately tightened, "Where did you get this?"

"That’s none of your business. Just tell me, will you take it?" The visitor’s tone was impatient.
