Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 114 The icing on the cake and the timely help (two-in-one)

The two people standing in the air above Jiangning County are the head of the Jiangning branch of the Shen family and his younger brother.

The one who had not spoken among the two was a thin and shrewd middle-aged scholar with a twinkling eye, a beard on his lips, and a gray-green shirt with bamboo patterns embroidered on it. His name was Shen Liangcai.

The man who was speechless was his younger brother, named Shen Liangce. There was a huge difference in stature between this man and Shen Liangcai. He was as round as a fat ball. Even his eyes were squeezed out, leaving only two eyes. The narrow slit looks extremely funny.

The cultivation level of these two people is not particularly high. Shen Liang only has the sixth level of climbing the stairs, while Shen Liangce only has Innate virtual strength.

This is not because the company does not attach importance to Shen Meinan, but the candidate was decided after multiple considerations.

First of all, if we send our masters in a big way, it will attract attention and easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, the top priority is to protect Shen Meinan so that her every move can be controlled by the family. The Jiangning branch is the closest and the most convenient to take action, so there is no need to worry about it.

In the mortal world, as long as there are no accidents, climbing to the sixth level is enough to be a deterrent.

For example, Fan Hailong has been able to dominate Jishao County for so many years, and he can be called the all-powerful man, but no one dares to say a word, just because of his cultivation at the top of the building.

However, the Jiangning branch's status among all the Shen family branches is indeed not high.

The Shen family is also one of the top five cultivating families in the entire Cangyuan. Especially in recent years, because of the birth of Shen Xingzhu, their status has been rising steadily.

Basically, when you meet someone named Shen, you must first consider whether the other person is from the Shen family before taking action.

Different from the sect, the cultivator family is more cohesive and internally more united. If you poke one, it is basically like poking a hornet's nest.

Basically, practitioners would rather offend a sect disciple with a high level of cultivation than a family member with a low level of cultivation.

This Jiangning branch is not good at cultivation, but like the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce of Lin Eryou's family, it runs a Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, specializing in business related to the Demonic Beast, which has not yet opened its spiritual intelligence.

Whether as a pet or a mount, practitioners are more willing to choose Demonic Beasts with some special abilities.

The Jiangning Chamber of Commerce is responsible for training it and then trading it.

However, competition in this industry is fierce, and Jiangning Chamber of Commerce is not a leader among them, so naturally it does not receive a large amount of resources from the company.

But being able to reach this point is naturally inseparable from the help of my family.

Now that my family has an order, Shen Liangcai immediately put down his business and came immediately.

I just didn't expect that Chen Kuang, who was just entering the Ascending Tower Realm for the first time according to the information provided by my family, would actually have such terrifying strength.

Shen Liangce sighed: "How many years have you seen the information given by my family be wrong?"

He shook his head: "How could this Chen Kuang be the Ascending Tower Realm..."

Let me ask, which Ascending Tower Realm in the world can have the ability to make snow fall out of thin air?

Even if this person achieved this kind of Divine Ability through other means, it can no longer be viewed in the same light as the Ascending Tower Realm.

Shen Liangcai's eyes flashed, but he said solemnly: "What is really powerful about this person is not his cultivation, but his method of controlling people's hearts!"

"Originally, the Yihuo Sect was thousands of miles away. In his current situation, he was beyond reach at the moment and could not intervene in a short time. Even if he killed these Yihuo Sect members who came to chase him, the Yihuo Sect would not be able to intervene in the future. It will definitely come back.”

"Furthermore, if there is a target to destroy the sect, the entire Yihuo sect will definitely work together like never before!"

"With this power and the Yihuo Sect's own background, Chen Kuang may have created a more powerful enemy for himself."

"But Liangce, do you see what he did?"

Shen Liangcai analyzed: "With two or three words, he not only allowed the Yihuo Sect to transfer their hatred to Bai Luoyan, but also provoked internal conflicts within the Yihuo Sect, and planted a seed that would be destroyed immediately if there was even a little moisture. Seeds that can take root and sprout.”

"I have been in business for so many years, and I have dealt with so many people. There are countless people with deep scheming minds, and there are also guys as cunning as foxes. But I have never seen such a person who plays with people's hearts like instinct."

"The most complex and difficult-to-understand human heart in the world is like an obedient pet in the palm of his hand."

"Such a person, even if his cultivation level is not high, is really terrifying..."

"Even with just one mouthful, he can stir up a storm in Cangyuan!"

"If I were his enemy, I would definitely take advantage of his weakest moment to completely eradicate him!"

The head of the Jiangning family took a deep breath:

"The funny thing is, I'm afraid there are still many people who despise him because of his cultivation, thinking that he is just a flash in the pan..."

Seeing that his brother's praise for Chen Kuang had gone beyond ordinary appreciation, Shen Liangce suspected that his businessman nature was showing up again, and hesitantly whispered:

"Brother, my family wants us to leave immediately after receiving the young lady. Try not to get involved in this matter and keep waiting and watching."

Shen Liangcai glanced at him and said, "Do you know why our family wants us to do this?"

Shen Liangce said: "Because you don't want to offend Martial Saint and the Kingdom of Zhou?"

Shen Liangcai shook his head: "I thought so too."

"But I didn't know until now that that was the least of the reasons."

He lowered his voice and said word by word: "Because I am afraid!"

Shen Liangce's narrowed eyes opened for a moment, and he said with some surprise: "Afraid?!"

He subconsciously thought it was ridiculous. When had the Shen family ever been afraid of others?

Not to mention a mere Ascending Tower Realm...

But then, he found that he seemed to be the kind of person his brother said looked down on Chen Kuang because of his cultivation.

Even this can't be blamed on him, because he has seen Chen Kuang's strength with his own eyes and admits it in his heart.

But when thinking, he always subconsciously puts himself in a very high position, which has become a habit.

Shen Liangce adjusted his mentality with a strange expression on his face and said, "But what do I have to be afraid of..."

Shen Liangcai said meaningfully: "I am afraid of many things, but when I see Chen Kuang, I am only afraid of one thing -"

"I'm afraid there will be another Shen Xingzhu in this world!"

When Shen Liangce heard these words, he groaned, his eyes suddenly widened and his eyelids opened, but he suddenly felt a sudden realization.

If there is anything I am afraid of, then this is indeed one of them!

If there is only one Shen Xingzhu in the world, then in the future, the Shen family will be the number one cultivating family in the world. It is possible that the Shen family will rival the sect, with unrivaled prestige, becoming the first family in the world, and achieving a status comparable to the Profound Spirit Dao Gate.

But if two Shen Xingzhu appear, the Shen family will immediately discount it, and it will be even more difficult to judge whether this person is an enemy or a friend... There is just one more element of uncertainty.

"therefore,"

Shen Liangcai said: "My family will not be an enemy of Chen Kuang, but we will not help him either."

But if Chen Kuang died like this, that would be the best...

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins... But sometimes, getting nothing and no change is the biggest gain!

"Hiss..." Shen Liangce swallowed nervously, vaguely knowing what his brother was going to do.

He whispered: "Yes, our surname is Shen."

"So what? In the past few years, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce has not been managed by me and you. Although I have provided help, it is just the icing on the cake after all."

"We, poor relatives who are almost out of the fifth server, do you think our family will care so much? We are responsible for the enmity, but it is not our turn for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven."

Shen Liangcai sneered twice, and his eyes became even brighter: "But you know, if there is a second Shen Xingzhu in this world, what does it mean?"

Shen Liangce took a deep breath and rubbed his hands: "Of course I know..."

"And if he has been given help in times of need, that would be even more serious!"

Shen Liangcai patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "As expected of my brother, how about taking a gamble on this? Even if my family finds out, he will just be expelled from the fifth server."

Shen Liangce gritted his teeth: "It's a gamble!"

The two looked at each other, then flew towards the shore and met Chen Kuang and others who were docked.

…

Chen Kuang is also very interested in the "Myriad Tribulations", but currently this little thing doesn't seem to be happy to be around him.

Probably because of his previous behavior of trying to erase him, he positioned himself as a "bad guy".

The ball of river water brought by Questioning Death brought with him his "Tao", and only then could this small ball of flame be trapped in it.

But the small ball of flame has a very strong temper, and it keeps running rampant in it, trying to get out.

Seeing this, Wen Si turned over his palm and took out a gourd.

"This was given to me by a passing Daoist when I was still the Dragon King in Dongting Lake."

He sighed: "That Daoist had a free and easy temperament, and he was a good man who liked to do chivalry and justice. Unfortunately, he offended too many people because of this, and he soon died under the plot of his enemies."

"This gourd is one of the few magical spiritual treasures he has, and it has the ability to seal. At that time, I was constrained by my oath and refused to go ashore or transform. He thought I was just a little fish demon who couldn't transform. "

"He gave me this gourd and asked me to exchange it for some elixirs for practice."

"This gourd is of little use to me. It just happened to be given to you. It is used to collect the 'Myriad Tribulations' unquenchable fire'. It is not an insult to it."

Chen Kuang took it and saw that the gourd had a very unique shape.

But what is even more shocking is that there is a sharp Sword Intent on the gourd. This Sword Intent is clear and does not have murderous intent, but has a sense of broadness and freedom.

Chen Kuang is now considered to be a minor expert in kendo, and has the "Sword Heart" passive. His understanding of kendo is no longer the same as before.

You can clearly feel the sublimity of this Sword Intent.

It seems that the owner of this gourd is not just the good person that Death talks about.

He is also a powerful practitioner with an extremely high level of swordsmanship.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chen Kuang accepted the gourd and immediately knew how to use it.

He silently recited in his heart: "Although the gourd is small, it is hidden in heaven and earth, but it stays with me for thousands of miles. I put away the ghosts and gods out of sight, but when I use it, the world is in my belly."

The gourd swayed suddenly, flashed with a golden light, and then instantly sucked in the mass of river water together with the flames in it.

The originally dark yellow gourd suddenly turned red, with fire patterns appearing on it. However, it only shook a few times and settled down again, but its appearance did not change back.

Chen Kuang put the gourd with the new skin around his waist. He just felt that it was good to have a background, to have the thick legs of a big boss to hold him, and to give out rare and good things.

It's a pity that Xi Mengquan's purpose is unclear, so he can't be trusted for the time being.

"Wow..."

Wen Si paddled the boat and docked slowly on the shore.

Chen Kuang was the first to step onto the scorched earth on the shore, and then extended his hand to Shen Meinan who poked his head out.

"Let's go, someone is coming to your house."

What he was talking about was naturally the two brothers Shen Liangcai and Shen Liangce who landed far away.

Shen Liang took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Jianning Branch, Shen Liangcai, is here to take the young lady home."

"Miss, you can rest in Jiangning for two days. We will arrange the Demonic Beast caravan to bring the lady to our home."

Shen Meinan pursed her lips and walked over with a disappointed expression. She took Chen Kuang's hand ashore, glanced at the two brothers who were complete strangers, and whispered: "I don't want to leave... I can stay with you. "

Chen Kuang sighed helplessly and glanced at the two brothers. The latter had a strange expression, but he turned around and retreated knowingly.

Well... one house is thirty miles away, and they are physically retreating.

After all, if they see something they shouldn't see, they may not be saved even if they are the Shen family...

Chen Kuang stretched out the little finger of his right hand and said with a smile: "Lagou, when I am free, I will go to the Shen family to find you."

Shen Meinan had learned enough not to be fooled, and said with a straight face: "When will you be free?"

Chen Kuang thought to himself, if possible, if I am still alive in five years, I will probably be free...

By that time, Shen Xingzhu should not be able to stop him.

He coughed twice and said, "Three years."

Chen Kuang thought for a while, if he couldn't reach the Pure Land Jialan Temple in three years and became this fake Buddhist disciple, then he would probably have no hope of fighting the Eastern Emperor in five years and would be dead.

Not too long, not too short, just enough for a young girl in love to figure out her own thoughts.

Or, forget someone...

Shen Meinan frowned at first, feeling that three years was too long, but then he relaxed. At least he was still willing to make a promise.

Although he was a glib and scheming villain, he never broke his promise.

The girl also stretched out her little finger and hooked Chen Kuang's finger:

"Then it's agreed, three years."

Chen Kuang hummed: "It's agreed."

He let go of his hand and said warmly: "Let's go."

Chen Kuang was about to turn around and call the two Shen family members over, but suddenly Shen Meinan grabbed his hand and pulled it towards him.

"Wait!" The girl dodged and muttered in a low voice: "I have one more thing to tell you..."

Chen Kuang turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What is so important?"

Shen Meinan stood on tiptoes nervously, wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, raised her head and pushed herself forward.

"boom!"

Shen Meinan's forehead hit the bridge of Chen Kuang's nose.

Logically speaking, Chen Kuang should be in more pain, but his physical strength at this moment has far exceeded the ordinary Ascending Tower Realm. On the contrary, Shen Meinan screamed, his forehead turned red instantly, and tears came out of the pain.

She took two steps back and covered her forehead with tears in her eyes:

"Oooh, why are you so hard..."

Chen Kuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Shen Meinan wanted to make a sneak attack but ended up making an own mistake. She felt very sad and sad. She was laughed at by Chen Kuang and couldn't stop her tears from falling.

She secretly cursed herself for not living up to expectations, feeling that she was the most useless idiot in the world for screwing up such a simple thing.

Suddenly, a pair of hands held her face and wiped away the tears on her face.

Before Shen Meinan could recover, he saw the young man lowering his head... The wet and soft touch disappeared in an instant.

…

Somewhere far away in the sky.

The cold woman in black gauze was walking in the air when she suddenly froze, stretched out her hand and pressed her lips under the gauze.

Immediately, her eyes became extremely cold and cold, and the sword at her waist made a buzzing sound.

The mountain peaks on the side suddenly tilted and fell to the side... The entire mountain peak was split into two in an instant!

Chen Kuang goes back on his word, how can he be a gentleman!

I have a bloated stomach. The update is a little late. I will continue to update 6,000 times tomorrow.
