Chapter 16: Warm Heart Brand Xia Mingchuan

  Xia Xiaoliang was just returning when she heard Xia Mingchuan's heart-wrenching roar. Her heart tightened, and she quickly spread her four paws and ran towards Xia Mingchuan with her short legs moving rapidly.

  "Brother Mingkuan!" Xia Xiaoliang finally saw Xia Mingkuan and excitedly shouted in a small voice, but unfortunately her voice was too soft and was ignored by Huali. Meanwhile, Xia Mingkuan continued to circle around Xia Yu, trying to get him to go find Xia Xiaoliang.

  Xia Minghe felt something on his foot, trying to climb up his calf. Fortunately, he had a good temper, otherwise, he would have kicked something small flying with one foot.

  Looking down at the soft and limp little mole, Xia Mingchuan picked it up and placed it in front of his eyes, saying: "Yao'er, how did you end up here? Have you seen Xiao Liang?"

  "Brother Chuan, I'm Xiaoleng!" Xia Xiaoleng's short paws were waving in the air, and the feeling of being suspended was really unbearable. Xia Xiaoleng vowed that she would never carry Yaoyao like this again.

  Perhaps it was because he got closer, Xia Mingchuan only then heard clearly the name of the mole in front of him, Brother Chuan! It said its name was Xiao Liang, haha... This joke is really funny!

  "Stop messing around and tell me where Xiaoleng is?" Xia Mingchuan's heart was only hanging on Xia Xiaoleng, completely ignoring the "Yao'er" in front of him.

  Just then, the demon finally arrived. When Xia Mingchuan saw that there was still a mole on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes shuttling back and forth between the demon and Xia Xiaoleng, very suspicious.

  Just as Xia Mingchuan was stunned, the time limit of Xia Xiaoliang's Qianhuan technique arrived, and a little loli with cat ears and big eyes was held by her neck in front of him.

  "Illusion?" Xia Yu recognized it at once, and with one sentence, he saw through Xia Xiao Liang's magic trick.

  Xia Ming River quickly let go, afraid of hurting Xia Xiao Liang, but the frightened look was clearly scared by the previous scene.

  "Where have you been? Do you know how long the whole family has been looking for you?" Xia Mingchuan's expression turned stern as he saw that Xia Xiaoliang was unharmed.

  Xia Yu looked at Xia Xiao Liang with a puzzled face, this girl had just tested her physique yesterday morning, how could she use magic now? Don't tell him that this girl has already been recognized by the Five Elements' Qi?

  "Brother Chuan, after you and Qiao Weiwei left today, Xia Tian came to me and said that there's a cave in the mountain where Cat Mountain and Fox Mountain meet. She said that inside, there are precious stones that can shine brightly, and she wanted to go get them, so she asked me to accompany her. But who knew that after I went in, I got trapped." Xia Xiao Liang told the truth, but didn't realize that when she mentioned the cave, Xia Ming Chuan and Xia Yu Ju's faces turned pale with a hint of terror.

  "Are you saying Xia Tian took you to a forbidden land?" Xia Mingchuan asked, gritting his teeth.

  Xia Xiaoliang nodded seriously: "Yes! But I got stuck inside and couldn't find her." Xia Xiaoliang naturally knew that Xia Tian was framing her, otherwise how would she have been dragged into such a place? If not for bringing Yao'er with her, she might have died in there after a few days.

  Xia Yu furrowed his brow, he had thought of many possibilities, but the only thing he hadn't expected was that Xia Tian would take her to the forbidden land. The forbidden land, where he had mischievously gone before, was full of intricate mechanisms, and if it weren't for his own luck, he feared he would have become a cat's skeleton.

  But why did Xia XiaoLiang say she was trapped? That forbidden land had a killing array, but no trapping array!

  "Then how did you escape?" Xia Yu asked.

  Xia Xiaoleng smiled slightly and picked up the little demon from the ground, saying: "It's all thanks to the little demon, she dug the earth, and we came out from underground."

  When did the siege give up on the ground? Xiaoyu was once again bewildered.

  "Brother Chuan, do you know what I got inside? It's Qian Huan Technique and Ta Sha Line." Xia Xiao Liang told Xia Ming Chuan with a treasured expression, without any guard in her heart.

  Xia Yu listened and repeatedly exclaimed in surprise, perhaps only those who were destined could obtain this magical technique.

  In the forbidden land of the Cat Clan, the two techniques were actually created for the Five Elements Constitution. Any demon or human who is not a Five Elements Constitution will be attacked by the killing array when they enter, only those with a Five Elements Constitution can be included in the inheritance land. As for the two cat bones, they implicitly refer to Xia Xiao Liang and Xia Ming Chuan, the two five-element constitution cats.

  This is Xia Ming's rule-abiding nature, where he obeys the forbidden areas and doesn't enter. If he were to be a bit mischievous, then the master of this spell would change hands.

  "Xiao Liang, from now on, if you get something good, keep it in your heart and don't go around telling others. Be careful of evil spirits that can harm people and cats." Xia Mingchuan patiently instructed, Xia Xiao Liang didn't understand anything, and he was also particularly meticulous in his instruction.

  Xia Xiaoliang's back was chilled to the bone, and he was intimidated by Xia Mingchuan, meekly nodding in agreement.

  "Xiao Liang, it's getting late, go to bed early. As for Xia Tian, pretend nothing happened, and don't be alone with her again. If there's anything, let Yao Er come find me, I'll handle it." Xia Mingchuan comforted her in a gentle voice, coaxing her to sleep before leaving the cave with Xia Yu.

  "Uncle, how should Xia Tian be dealt with?" Xia Mingchuan's eyes flashed a hint of coldness. Xia Tian was incredibly daring to lead Xiao Liang into the abyss; if not for her being a Five Elements Constitution, he feared that this would be the last time he saw her in this life.

  "I know what you're thinking, but she will play a very important role in the future of the cat clan." Xia Yu felt somewhat helpless. Xia Mingchuan was usually obedient, but since Xia Xiaoleng woke up, he had disagreements with him every time.

  Xia Mingchuan looked up and met Xia Yu's gaze, saying: "Uncle, is the Cat Clan that important to you? And as for Xiao Liang's safety, don't you care at all?"

  "That's enough!" Xia Yu's face sank, and he said gloomily: "The Cat Clan is more important than anything! You, Xiao Liang, and Tiantian are all indispensable! You should understand what I mean!"

  "But Xia Tian already has a rebellious air about him!" Xia Mingjiang stood fearlessly, still standing proudly in front of Xia Yu.

  Xia Yu rubbed her eyebrows, Xia Mingchuan was fine with everything, but his temper was stubborn, which gave him a headache. "Xia Tian, I'll take care of it, don't take matters into your own hands. You know the consequences of laying hands on our own kind!"

  "For Xiao Liang, what does it matter if we break the clan rules! Moreover, Xia Tian was the first to make a move on Xiao Liang. According to the clan rules, Xia Tian should be put to death!" Xia Mingchuan took the initiative to bring up the clan rules, waiting to see what he had to say in response.

  As the most important cat of the tribe, Xia Xiao Liang and Xia Tian have the same status. No matter which of the two cats gets into trouble, it is a loss for the tribe. Xia Ming Chuan understands this in his heart, but with Xia Tian, such a ruthless cat by Xia Xiao Liang's side, how can he be at ease?

  "Xia Tian will be staying with me for the time being, and I won't let her come looking for you and Xiao Liang. What's most important is that you focus on teaching Xiao Liang to cultivate! In half a year, there will be the Hundred Year Grand Competition, and both Xiao Liang and you must participate." Xia Yu said as he turned around and left.

  Xia Yu had Xia Mingchuan and Xia Xiaoleng participate in the Hundred Year Grand Competition to urge Xia Xiaoleng to cultivate. Xia Mingchuan was a bit dazed, although the injury from the Hundred Year Grand Competition was minimal, but Xia Xiaoleng was now a brand new newcomer. Swords and knives have no eyes, if they get hurt, what's good?

  Looking at the figure disappearing in the moonlight, Xia Mingchuan opened his mouth, but didn't say a word for a long time.
