It had been a long time since the council of Hidden Demon City had been so busy. On the night of the incident of the second son of the Flame Soul, the city lord, the patriarchs of the major Demon Slayer Clans, and the generals of the army gathered in this church-like grayish-white building for an emergency meeting.
"Look, isn't that the city lord, Goethe?"
"It is indeed him. I heard that Goethe has been presiding over the secret work of the Hidden Demon City's Armed Research Institute. The last time he appeared at a joint meeting was more than 20 years ago."
"General Drexton is here too. I thought the old man had retired."
Jiang Zhibei and Du Yu whispered in each other's ears as they discussed spiritedly. As the people who had personally experienced the incident, the three heroes of Hidden Demon City and Xia Fan's support team were also invited to attend. They sat near the pillars and watched those prominent figures walk into the conference room one after another. Their expressions were more solemn. Many of them had traveled a long way, and their jackets were covered in dust.
Without a doubt, this was a meeting that represented the highest authority in Hidden Demon City. The legendary big shots, the experts who controlled the secret teams, and the generals who fought on the frontlines were all present. This showed that the sudden appearance of the second son of the Flame Soul was a very serious matter in most people's minds. It was almost to the point where the entire realm was on alert.
The city lord, Lu Tailai, sat in the center. Hidden Demon City was relatively democratic. Several city lords took turns presiding over the work. It just so happened that it was Lu Tailai's turn this season, so the meeting was presided over by him.
First, the situation was explained. The scene of the incident was played with a video crystal, and then the person involved came forward to be questioned. Xia Fan was also asked a few questions, but these questions were about his speed. No one suspected that he had anything to do with the large-scale uprising of the beasts. After all, from the video, Xia Fan was just standing there blankly, and the command that caused the beasts to burn their lives was secretly sent through the spiritual plane. It was invisible and untouchable.
"As for the question about Xia Fan, we, the city lords, know about it. He is the first young man with the potential of a six-star warrior in fifty years. Not only does he have the ability to smell, but he also has the ability to hide his speed."
"Originally, we planned to keep this a secret and secretly train him so that he could be used as a surprise attack at a critical moment. But now that the Second Son of the Flame Spirit has been exposed, there is no longer a need to keep it a secret. Now, I will officially announce to everyone that Xia Fan is a six-star potential warrior with dual abilities of smell and speed," Lv Tailai said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations in the conference room. Xia Fan was the first young man with six-star potential in fifty years. One could imagine how much importance Hidden Demon City placed on him. Now that Lv Tailai suddenly announced that Xia Fan had dual abilities, it could be said that he was a person with six-star potential. After all, it was quite pitiful for a person with six-star potential to have an ability that was not painful or itchy.
Dual Elemental Abilities, Sense of Smell, and Acceleration. This was what a genius like him should be like. Xia Fan was immediately the center of attention, and his eyes were filled with passion.
"I knew it. To be able to reach Six Star potential, there must be something extraordinary about him."
"He is indeed a genius. His achievements in the future will be limitless."
The crowd discussed. Since there were examples of warriors without a coat of arms in history, they did not doubt Xia Fan. After Xia Fan answered the questions, he was asked to leave the stage and sit next to his mentor, Tu Lan. Tu Lan had also gone on stage just now, which proved that hiding Xia Fan's ability was part of the plan of the city masters.
"Now, the facts are clear." Lv Tailai frowned and said, "There are two problems we are facing. First, why did the Second Son of the Flame Spirit suddenly appear on our floor? According to the report from City Master Jin, the Second Son of the Flame Spirit set off from the North Sea and killed his way to the vicinity of Hidden Demon City. This is an important clue.
"Second, the terrible riot of the beasts reminded me of some kind of undead ability. The three griffins are divine species that were introduced from the Upper Realm. I don't need to explain their status and abilities. I'm sure all of you are very clear about it.
"However, the three griffins were actually controlled by the second son of the Flame Spirit by burning their lives. This matter itself has a more far-reaching impact than the sudden appearance of the Second Son of the Flame Spirit.
"It's a pity that we have no clue what kind of power controlled the three griffins. We must continue to investigate this matter, but time waits for no man. We should send our elite forces to the North Sea as soon as possible and split them into two groups. One group will investigate why the Second Son of the Flame Spirit appeared on our floor, and the other group will investigate the suicide attack of the three griffins."
Lv Tailai's proposal was passed smoothly. That night, all the elites of Hidden Demon City were sent out to form two major investigation teams. One team went to the North Sea to investigate why the Second Son of the Flame Spirit suddenly appeared, and the other team was responsible for investigating the suicide attack of the beasts.
"Let's find a place to eat. I've been hungry for a long time," Fo You said as he walked out of the meeting room and stretched.
"It's already past midnight, and there's nothing to eat in the dormitory cafeteria. If we want to fill our stomachs, we can only go to the night market," Jiang Zhibei said. Jiang Zhibei said. As a foodie, he was quite clear about where there was delicious food.
"I really want to thank you this time. If you don't mind, come to my house. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something to eat," Nicai said generously as she walked towards Xia Fan with a smile.
"That's a good idea!" Jiang Zhibei was overjoyed and rubbed his growling belly.
Nicai's family was large and had a lot of chefs. Going to her house for a meal would naturally be a sumptuous treat. However, Xia Fan saw from the corner of his eye that Le Jiajia was frowning slightly.
In the Demon Slayer family, Le Jiajia was obviously not welcome, so Xia Fan shook his head and said, "It's already so late. Let's not disturb them. We'll just eat at a roadside stall."
Nicai was slightly stunned. Obviously, she did not expect Xia Fan to refuse. However, when she saw Le Jiajia let out a sigh of relief, she immediately understood Xia Fan's intention.
"I didn't expect him to be so good at taking care of others," Nicai thought to herself and thought even more highly of Xia Fan.
At this time, Dongfang He also came out of the council hall. He said to Xia Fan and Fu You calmly, "Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to send the griffin to your house."
"Send us a griffin?" Xia Fan was puzzled.
"In this hunting contest, Jia Yuntian and I both placed bets on our mounts. From the results, it's obvious that we both lost. You're the winner. Unfortunately, my Jin Bao is dead, so I'll have to choose another griffin from the rest of the family," Dongfang He said.
Jiang Zhibei and Du Yu were stunned. There were not many griffin divine beasts in Hidden Demon City. Even if the Dongfang family was a Demon Slayer family, they probably only had a few of them. Dongfang He was actually willing to give a top flying divine beast to Xia Fan and Fu You? This was definitely a priceless gift!
Nicai raised her pretty eyebrows. "Dongfang, you're very generous."
Dongfang He shook his head. "This has nothing to do with being generous. The most important thing is to keep your word. You were here today. If it weren't for Xia Fan and Fu You carrying the second son of Flame Soul, this day next year would be the anniversary of our deaths. Although it's distressing to lose a griffin, it's what they deserve."
At this time, Jia Yuntian also slowly walked out. His face was expressionless. He looked at the crowd and walked down the stairs. He was indeed a cold guy.
"Yuntian, aren't you going to give away your bet?" Dongfang He asked as he looked at Jia Yuntian's back.
"The transfer procedures have been completed. The griffin is in the beast garden. Go and get it yourself," Jia Yuntian said lightly.
This pretentious act …
Dongfang He's expression changed. He and Jia Yuntian were really incompatible. As a born leader, Dongfang He liked to do everything with great fanfare, while Jia Yuntian was always calm and collected. He did everything quietly and did not say anything after he was done.
Just like their pursuit of Nicai, Dongfang He was afraid that someone didn't know that he liked Nicai, so he announced to the world that he must marry Nicai. But in fact, it was impossible to find out who loved Nicai more between the two of them.
"Let's go."
Xia Fan did not want to get involved in the complicated love triangle of Dongfang He and the others. He took his team to the night market to look for food.
"Sister Nicai will probably be very troubled. Dongfang He is very good, and Jia Yuntian is not bad either. They are both the best elites in the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to choose," Du Yu muttered. He was a simple person and could not help but worry about Nicai's relationship.
"I think Nicai might not like either of them," Xia Fan suddenly said. Xia Fan suddenly said. His bold statement shocked Jiang Zhibei and Du Yu. Le Jiajia also looked at him curiously.
"Why do you say that?"
"What basis do you have?"
Xia Fan shrugged. "If you like someone, can you bear to let him wait for too long? If Nicai were to confess to the two of you, would the two of you immediately throw yourself at her? "
This …
Jiang Zhibei and Du Yu stared at each other speechlessly.
Xia Fan continued, "I actually don't know much about relationships, but through my observation, I found that the so-called reserve is actually not liking someone. Because human beings are emotional creatures, when they really meet someone they like, they can't hold back at all."
Xia Fan pointed at Fo You. "Take this guy for example. The first time Yin Shui 'er saw him, her eyes lit up, and he thought there was nothing wrong with Yin Shui' er, so they got together. Is it Fu You? Not at all. "
"So I inferred that it should be very easy to pursue a girl. If it is difficult, it means that you are pursuing the wrong person."
Fo You touched his chin and nodded repeatedly. Thinking about his own love experience, it was really like what Xia Fan said. Jiang Zhibei, Du Yu, and Le Jiajia opened their mouths wide, as if they had suddenly understood.
"Poor thing. It turns out that sister Nicai doesn't like Dongfang and Yuntian." Du Yu said regretfully, "I really don't know what sister Nicai is thinking. Among the young people in Hidden Demon City, no one is better than them."
The three of them ate barbecued meat and roasted vegetables in the night market. Halfway through, Tu Lan came looking for them. The mentor was not arrogant at all. He picked up a few skewers of barbecued meat, wrapped them in bread, and ate them with meatball soup.
"Two Griffins!"
Pfft ~
Tu Lan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of meatball soup, drenching Jiang Zhibei who was sitting opposite him.
"That's a divine beast! As a mentor, I have never been able to ride a Griffin in my life! I can only ride a parrot! " Tu Lan seemed to suddenly lose his appetite. He threw away the barbecued meat roll and said bitterly, "A mentor rides a parrot, and a student rides a Griffin. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?"
