BXBX NOVEL Chapter 367
Chapter 367: Growth
It was a family banquet, and both the host and the guests were happy.
It was already past nineo’ clock in the evening when it ended.
Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue left the Xia family home together with Xia Yan with the Xia couple’s blessings.
Xia Yan had left the house a long time ago, partly because of father Xia’s inability to deal with the father-daughter relationship, and perhaps also because of the fact that “two tigers can’t live on the same mountain”.
This kind of problem was very common in China, and due to the concept of education, it would probably exist for a long time.
In the hearts of some parents, their children who had grown up relying on them were like “accessories.” During the existence of this relationship, the child would inadvertently be “objectified.” Even after the relationship was cut off, the parents might still have such a notion in their hearts.
Although the Chinese were not willing to admit it, it had been passed down from generation to generation. People would more or less have such a concept in their hearts. When a child grew up, or had his own independent thinking and mature or immature concepts, this kind of contradiction would often erupt when the views of parents and children were not in harmony.
Unlike other parents and children, father Xia was very busy, while mother Xia was very rich ...
Her father’s tradition and strictness, as well as her mother’s love and pampering, led Xia Yan to move out of the house early.
Unlike other ordinary families, Xia Yan was an Awakener. Ever since her star power was awakened, she had been instilled with a series of concepts such as fighting, fighting, and competition by the school.
These factors had long been integrated into the blood of every star Warrior. Regardless of whether you were strong-willed or not, the school, society, and the country would guide you to become full of fighting spirit and ‘competitive’.
Putting aside the right and wrong of every conflict and the right and wrong of their growth, when two people with extremely strong personalities had to get along, they had to pay attention to the way. Otherwise, the result was obvious.
Xia Yan drove her pitch-black land Rover and roared all the way into Huayuan estate in Dongcheng Area.
......
We don’t even know if her engine has leaked oil.
We don’t know if she can buy this car for 660 thousand Yuan.
Anyway, she was driving quite fiercely, so Jiang Xiao didn’t dare to ask.
Ever since she came out of the house, she had not been in a good mood. She did not have her usual “Xia Sansui” crazy look, and her expression was quite serious.
After Xia Yan sent the siblings upstairs, she did not leave. Instead, she sat down on the sofa with Han Jiangxue and took out a small square box from her pocket.
Jiang Xiao recognized the small square box, which was the symbol of star beads.
Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and turned to look at Xia Yan.””What’s the meaning of this?”
“Have you forgotten what you’ve asked me to do?” Xia Yan asked with a smile.
Han Jiangxue came to a slight realization and said a little embarrassedly,””Thank you,” he said.
“You’re welcome. ” Xia Yan said casually, not bothered by Han Jiangxue’s attitude.
It was interesting to note that Xia Yan clearly didn’t get along well with Xia Shanhai, but she got along well with Han Jiangxue, who was equally strong.
Most of the time, Xia Yan was always the first to give in, or rather, she was the more magnanimous one.
The relationship between friends and father and daughter was so complicated that it gave him a headache.
Jiang Xiao looked at the small square box curiously and asked,””What star bead? What STAR technique have you taken a fancy to?”
Jiang Xiao knew that Han Jiangxue had some spare money and it wasn’t impossible for her to buy one or two high-quality star beads if she went bankrupt.
Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan looked at each other and pondered for a while before throwing the small box to Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao opened the small square box and saw three grayish-brown star beads.
Among the star beads that Jiang Xiao had come into contact with, the mainstream star beads were usually blue, white, and red. The grayish-brown star bead was rare. Could it be an earth-type or sand-type star bead?
“Korea star beads,” Han Jiangxue answered.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Huaxia was vast and had plenty of resources. What kind of star bead did it not have?
He specialized in getting star beads from Bang Bang, so there was no need to ask about the star techniques.
The three of them had already been discussing the topic of “concealment” for a long time. Jiang Xiao was busy with his mission with second last, but to his surprise, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan had already made their move.
Jiang Xiao held a star bead in his hand and some related information appeared in his internal star map.
Hibiscus star bead (gold quality)
Star techniques:
[ 1. Earth Light: when the star map shakes violently, there will always be a strong light.] Condenses star power, shakes and changes the original appearance of the star map. If other star techniques are used during the activation of this STAR technique, it may cause the star power within the user to go berserk. Star power is continuously consumed when activated. (Silver quality, upgradeable)
2. Star concealment: hides the fluctuations of star power in the body. If other star techniques are used during the activation of this STAR technique, it may cause the star power in the body to go berserk. Star power is continuously consumed when activated. (Silver quality, upgradeable)
3. Secondary appearance: second face. Star power is continuously consumed when activated. (Silver quality, upgradeable)
Do you wish to absorb them together?”
What kind of STAR technique names are those?
Was this all automatically translated by the internal star map? Apart from the second star technique,”star concealment,” which could be understood literally, were the rest exclusive terms?
What the hell was Earth Light?
What’s a Deputy Minister? No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an ancient official position.
Although the name was not easy to understand, at least he could understand the introduction.
“Smuggling is illegal,” Jiang Xiao said while pretending to look at the star bead.
Xia Yan leaned back against the sofa and crossed her legs, looking like she had a lot on her mind. Not having any intention to bicker with Jiang Xiao, she said,””I’ll handle it. Don’t worry. ”
Han Jiangxue looked at Xia Yan thoughtfully and could clearly sense that she was acting a little strange. She turned around and said,””I’ve checked it out. It can change one’s appearance, hide one’s star power, and even change one’s star map. ”
“Oh, let me see.” Jiang Xiao picked up his mobile phone and began searching. Of course, he was very clear about the effects of each STAR technique. After pretending, he decided to check the names of those strange star techniques to see if they were translated from Korean.
Xia Yan suddenly said,”every country basically has star techniques that can see through star techniques. Only when the user’s star power is at a high level and has a deep understanding of star techniques can he ensure that he’s safe.” Fugitives must be more skilled than their pursuers, otherwise, it’s only natural that they would be caught. ”
Xia Yan’s words were very interesting, as she compared “disguise” to a fugitive.
Jiang Xiao had already found out the meaning of “Earth Light”, which was indeed a special term.
[Ground light: light that appears above the area affected by the earthquake.]
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
It should be a coincidence? The Korean translation just so happened to have this word in Chinese? Did the words just happen to overlap?
Vice Minister ... This is an ancient official name, alright?
Alright, don’t be so conflicted. The meaning was completely different.
Jiang Xiao handed the small square box to Han Jiangxue and motioned for her to keep it safe.
No one had an endless number of Star Slots. Besides, Jiang Xiao’s “Smurf plan” had yet to succeed, so he decided to study it carefully before making any further plans.
On the other side of the sofa, Xia Yan finally spoke.””I understood what he meant.”
“Him?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Xia Shanhai,” Xia Yan replied.
Han Jiangxue had long noticed Xia Yan’s strange behavior. She reached out and gently stroked Xia Yan’s shoulder.
Xia Yan’s smile was a little forced and she said,””I thought tonight would be a farewell party and a celebration to congratulate the three of us on being accepted into the best university in Huaxia. I didn’t expect that his mind was elsewhere.”
After some thought, Han Jiangxue said,”after all, uncle Xia is doing this for ...”
Han Jiangxue stopped mid-sentence, for she knew that Xia Yan didn’t like to hear such words.
Who wasn’t at the Age of Rebellion at 18?
Or rather, if your thoughts were at odds with your parents ‘, would you forever be labeled as a “rebellious”?
For now, Han Jiangxue’s words were hardly effective because she was the most powerful person standing at the top of the mountain. Xia Shanhai’s words tonight were essentially a problem because of Xia Yan’s strength.
“After the two of you entered the house, the first thing he said to you was ...” Xia Yan sighed softly.
Jiang Xiao had a deep impression of it because he was a little too petty at that time and thought that the compliment was a head-on shot that came from Xia Shanhai’s polite opening.
However, that was not the case. Xia Shanhai was truly gratified. He was purely praising and encouraging the siblings.
“What you all easily obtained, to me, is the most extravagant.” Xia Yan gently rubbed her forehead with one hand and said,”ever since I returned from the National League, I haven’t received any praise from him. He didn’t even look me in the eye during the training period. ”
Han Jiangxue looked a little hesitant and gently stroked Xia Yan’s arm, not knowing how to comfort her. After all, this was how the Xia family got along and educated her.
Xia Yan grabbed her chestnut-colored short hair in a mess and seemed a little annoyed.””He never took my achievements seriously, or should I say ... He doesn’t think I’m worthy of such results ...”
Jiang Xiao said,”the team’s victory will definitely belong to everyone. If you want, I can analyze your role from every battle. Without you, our team would have already failed and returned home.”
Xia Yan smiled bitterly and said,”I know, but ...” Perhaps he thinks that another melee fighter would do better than me. ”
“It doesn’t matter what he thinks.” While speaking, Jiang Xiao walked towards Xia Yan’s sofa, squatted down, and looked into her eyes.”What’s important is what you think.”
Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao’s serious expression and felt a mix of emotions.
People always said that people grew up slowly.
Maybe, maybe not.
A sincere sentence and a mature action.
People might grow up in an instant.
People also always said that people slowly aged.
That was not the case.
A pair of eyes that had suddenly lost their brilliance, a tired and helpless heart.
People always grow old in an instant.
She was just glad that their lives had just begun.
