The next day, at Xia's mansion.

Lin An sat on the bed in the room, carefully performing supernatural spells, and listening to the situation in the mansion.

"Xiao Ling, you are here!"

In the hall, the voice of his wife Xia Yu came.

"Sister, I'm an outsider. Would it be inappropriate to participate in this kind of occasion?"

In the hall, the voice of a young boy came again.

"It's okay, you're Xia Lan's boyfriend, so you're not considered an outsider! Are you, Xia Lan?" Xia Yu said with a smile.

"It's fine if you don't have any opinions, big sister."

In the hall, Xia Lan replied with a smile.

Listening to the conversation coming from the hall, Lin An couldn't help frowning, and turned off the supernatural spell.

"You also know that that boy is Xia Lan's boyfriend, so you still..."

Lin An thought silently, then shook his head, with a bitter and bored expression on his face.

Lin An was so invisible in Xia's mansion that no one seemed to pay attention to him.

Even the servants in Xia's mansion almost forgot that he was Xia Yu's husband.

"Ugh……"

Lin An sighed, lay down on the bed, stared straight at the ceiling, and became dazed.

After a while, the lottery ceremony will begin.This is an important moment for the division of the family property. As Xia Yu's husband, Lin An should be present to witness it.

However, today he does not want to step out of the bedroom door.If he was not called out, he wished to remain in his bedroom until the drawing of lots was over.

After all, the boy named Ling Yun was there outside.

Although Lin An has gotten used to Xia Yu's flirtatious nature, he is still not big enough - he can tolerate a man who hooks up with his wife and dangles in front of him.

-----------------------

In the hall of the mansion, the three sisters Xia Yu, Xia Jin, and Xia Lan sat around a table, waiting for Xia's mother to arrive.

"Sister, how is your business recently? I heard that you and An Xuanzi are doing smuggling business. Is it true?"

Xia Lan looked at Xia Yu and asked suddenly.

"No, it's groundless! Where did you hear the fake news?" Xia Yu gave Xia Lan a blank look, and retorted coldly.

"That's right, I'll just say it! Eldest sister, you're not so desperate to do this kind of gray business! Aren't you embarrassing our Xia family?" Xia Lan said with a smile.

When Xia Yu heard this, her face became a little ugly. She glared at Xia Lan and didn't continue to answer.

Seeing this, Xia Lan didn't continue to say anything, but lowered her head and silently took a sip of tea.

"Sister, I shouldn't have asked too much about your business, but..." Xia Jin looked at Xia Yu's face, and hesitated to speak.

"Second Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate." Xia Yu cast a displeased glance at Xia Jin.

"I advise you, it's best not to have too much contact with the demons, and be careful not to get burned." Xia Jin looked at Xia Yu and said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas about my business." Xia Yu responded to Xia Jin angrily.

After speaking, the hall fell into silence again.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

"Elder Sister, Third Sister, I still have something to do, so I have to go first."

Xia Jin glanced at the phone, stood up suddenly, bowed slightly to Xia Yu and Xia Lan, and planned to leave.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Lan shouted in surprise, "Mother told us to wait for her here. If you are not here, what should she do when she asks later?"

"In Qingyuan District, there was a demon-related incident. I have to rush there as soon as possible." Xia Jin said in a hurry, and then walked quickly towards the entrance of the hall.

"You stop!"

Seeing this, Xia Yu immediately stood up and stood in front of Xia Jin.

"I think you should wait a little longer! Mother will come later. According to mother's temperament, seeing that you are not present, the drawing of lots may have to be postponed again! I don't have time to spend on this kind of thing."

Xia Yu glared at Xia Jin and said angrily.

"In the Qingyuan district, someone is dead now, and the situation is urgent!" Xia Jin said solemnly.

"Dead people? So what? In this world, there are dead people all the time!" Xia Yu twitched her lips in disdain, "No matter how important it is, it's important that we can divide the family property?"

"You... how can you say such a thing?"

Xia Jin was out of breath, she glanced at Xia Yu in disappointment, and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, Xia Jin," Ling Yun sat on the sofa and looked at Xia Jin with a smile, "You are not the only demon hunter, there will always be someone there to solve the problem."

"You'd better sit here obediently and wait for the lottery," Ling Yun said indifferently, "After the family property is divided, there will be time to go."

When Xia Jin heard this, she gave Ling Yun a deep look, and said nothing, but sat back on the sofa.

"Yu'er, how do you become a big sister? Although we are going to divide the family property today, you have to control it! Don't divide the family property, but also the blood!"

Outside the door of the hall, Mother Xia's voice came into the hall.

With the support of several servants, Mother Xia walked slowly into the hall.She was wearing a plain black long dress, which looked extraordinarily solemn and elegant.

When everyone saw Mother Xia, they all stood up and bowed slightly.

Coming to the center of the hall, Mother Xia glanced at everyone present.Then, she fixed her gaze on Xia Yu, with a serious face on her face.

"Why isn't Lin An here?" Mother Xia asked lightly.

"He..." Xia Yu shrugged indifferently, "I don't care if he loves it or not."

"Tell him to come out! After all, today is the division of the family property. As your husband, how could he not be present?" Mother Xia gave Xia Yu a helpless look, and said calmly.

"Yes, mother." Xia Yu replied respectfully.

"Lin An, come out!"

Xia Yu turned her head, faced the direction of the room, and shouted coldly.

After a while, Lin An pushed open the door and came into the hall.

This is Ling Yun, seeing Xia Yu's husband for the first time with his own eyes - this man named "Lin An".

In his twenties, he has a very thin body, sharp-edged cheeks, and fair skin, giving him the appearance of a weak scholar.

Lin An carefully stood behind Xia Yu, lowered his head, with a submissive look.

Lin An seemed to notice that Ling Yun was staring at him, so he raised his head and glanced at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun felt that in Lin An's eyes, there was not only a slight hostility, but also a touch of confusion and bewilderment, which seemed quite strange.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start."

Mother Xia glanced at everyone present, and said in a calm tone.

As soon as Xia's mother finished speaking, the servants present all began to get busy.

Soon, the tea table, sofa, tables and chairs in the hall were all moved aside.The servants moved out one after another of mahogany benches from the storage room.

Finally, in the hall of the mansion, the servants lined up mahogany chairs diagonally from left to right, forming a "eight" shape.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yun stood aside and asked Xia Lan beside him in a low voice.

"Sense of ceremony..."

Xia Lan stood aside, in place, looking at the scene in the hall with complicated eyes, and muttered softly.

After the mahogany benches were arranged, the servants moved a long mahogany table and placed it in the center of the hall.

Soon, Fang Bo walked out of the room, holding an opaque wooden box in his hand, walked slowly to the long mahogany table, and put the wooden box on top.

"Everyone, take your seats." Fang Bo glanced at everyone and said calmly.

As soon as the words fell, everyone present walked towards the mahogany chairs and sat down.Under Xia Lan's gesture, Ling Yun sat on the empty seat next to Xia Lan.

After everyone sat down, Mother Xia sat on the mahogany chair in the center with the support of the servant.

Mother Xia stretched out her hand and gestured.The servant behind him understood immediately and brought a purple sand teacup.Mother Xia took the purple sand teacup and took a sip of tea.

After a while, Mother Xia put down her teacup, looked around, and said, "According to the old customs, we should invite the elders of the family to be witnesses."

"However, if you think about it carefully, this is the distribution of our master's family property, not the election for the master's house, it is our own family's business. So, it's better not to bother them, after all, they also have their business to be busy."

After Xia's mother finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Ling Yun, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, Xiao Ling, then today you just happen to be a witness and be a witness."

"It's my honor, Auntie." Hearing this, Ling Yun nodded quickly and replied with a smile.

"My old woman, time is running out. I hope that after the division of the family property, you can still unite together, don't fight each other, and advance and retreat together!" Mother Xia's expression was very serious, and the words she said were loud and loud, "Remember, you three are sisters!"

"Mom, there's no need for you to say such depressing words. As long as you actively treat, you will definitely recover!" Xia Yu frowned, looked at Xia Mu worriedly, and said.

"It's been a long time. I know what's going on with my body," Mother Xia shook her head and sighed.

"Okay, let's start!" Mother Xia pointed to the box on the mahogany table, and said lightly, "Catch it according to your seniority!"

Hearing the words "arrest according to seniority", everyone present, including Ling Yun, were slightly taken aback, but quickly returned to normal.

"I thought the order of drawing lots was decided randomly." Xia Lan leaned into Ling Yun's ear and whispered.

Ling Yun nodded, glanced at Xia Jin in the distance, and then turned his gaze back.

"Then miss, let's start with you!" Fang Bo stood aside and said to Xia Yu respectfully.

Xia Yu heard the words, stood up, and walked towards the wooden box.She gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, and then put her hands into the hole above the wooden box.

Everyone present, including the servants, watched Xia Yu's movements nervously.

Ling Yun glanced at Xia Lan beside him, only to see that Xia Lan's eyes were also staring at Xia Yu without blinking, and her expression became a little stern.

Ling Yun looked over Xia Lan and looked at Xia Jin who was sitting in the distance.

I saw that Xia Jin glanced at Xia Yu indifferently first, then lowered her head, folded her hands in front of her chest, and lowered her head.From the expression on her face, there was no emotion to be seen.

"This guy is really calm."

Looking at Xia Jin, Ling Yun thought to himself, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
