Chapter 182 Shen Yu
In the afternoon, the scorching sun splashed on the earth like magma.
In the Glorious City, in an abandoned house, Shen Xiu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she jumped up and landed in the yard.
"Aunt Shen Xiu, you're finally here! It's been three days. If you hadn't come, I would have starved to death!" A ragged little beggar with disheveled hair ran out of the dilapidated house, stopped in front of Shen Xiu, squatted on the ground, and looked up at her eagerly like a dog.
"Take it and eat it!" Shen Xiu sighed, took out a large bag of dumplings from the space ring and threw it to the beggar.
The beggar took it steadily, tore open the paper bag, and began to eat voraciously without even washing his hands.
Shen Xiu threw a pot of water to the beggar, fearing that he would choke to death if he ate too fast.
After eating the buns, the beggar drank a pot of water happily and then burped.
"Aunt, when will you send me out of the city? I don't want to live this horrible life of hunger and fullness anymore." The beggar looked painful.
"Is it safe outside the city? There are terrifying monsters outside the city. With your bronze level, you will die if you go out!" Shen Xiu said coldly, "Besides, you killed a family of three of the noodle vendor. There are wanted notices all over the city. How can I get you out?"
"I didn't kill anyone! Really, Auntie, you must believe me!" The beggar felt that he was wronged. "I went out to buy flour that day. When I came back, I found that Master Bai and his family were all lying on the kang. Their lips were black, they were foaming at the mouth, and they were not breathing."
"Master Bai took me in, how could I do something worse than pigs and dogs? Aunt, I have sworn to heaven that if I really killed that person, I would have been struck by lightning long ago." There was some grief and anger on the beggar's face.
He became a murderer for no apparent reason, and he had no where to seek justice.
"You didn't kill him, why are you running away?" Shen Xiu was puzzled, "Can't you cooperate with the investigation of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I am a remnant of the Holy Family. The City Lord's Mansion has always regarded me as a thorn in their side. They will pin the crime on me even if it is not my fault. Besides, the detectives in the City Lord's Mansion are just a bunch of good-for-nothings who only work for a living. If they can't catch the murderer, they will definitely blame me!"
The beggar has no trust in the City Lord's Mansion at all.
He clenched his fists, his eyes reddened as he swore, "When the storm has died down, I will definitely find out the truth, kill the murderer, and avenge Master Bai's family!"
"Shen Yu, do you think this was done by the enemies of our Sacred Family? Do they want to kill all the people in our Sacred Family?" Shen Xiu guessed.
The beggar nodded: "It could also be that he was a competitor of Master Bai's business. He was jealous of Master Bai's money and wanted to kill him!"
Every time Master Bai sets up his stall, it is always packed with people.
Every day he and Master Bai are the first to close their stalls and go home on College Street!
"No matter who it is, if he dares to kill my benefactor Shen Yu, I will make him pay with his life!" The beggar gritted his teeth, and his gums bled because he was using too much force.
Shen Xiu sighed and took out some things from his space ring and gave them to the beggar.
"This bottle is a high-quality Soul Tempering Pill. After taking it, you will definitely be able to break through to the silver level, and may even become a gold demon spirit master. This one is the demon spirit stone that seals the gold-level demon spirit - the Fiery Demon Fox. I'm giving it to you as well."
"Here are 10,000 demon spirit coins. You can take them too." Shen Xiu sighed. "Your uncle is busy and your aunt is busy and can't help you. Whether it's revenge or escape, you have to rely on yourself."
"Aunt, will you come to see me again?" Shen Yu asked, biting her lip, her eyes moist.
Apart from Master Bai, only this distant aunt was kind to him.
"Take care of yourself. I don't know when I will come to see you next time!" After saying that, Shen Xiu stepped on the void, flew into the air, and left the abandoned house.
Like Ye Ziyun, she is now a legendary peak demon spirit master with nearly 800 million soul power.
Logically speaking, with her current cultivation, it would be easy for her to help Shen Yu find the murderer.
However, Shen Xiu did not do so.
First of all, Shen Yu is just her distant relative; secondly, her current cultivation is too high, the target is too big, and her every move is highly watched. The murderer will definitely flee if he senses her powerful aura; finally, Chang Ping does not like the Sacred Family and does not want her to have any contact with the people of the Sacred Family.
If Chang Ping found out that she was secretly supporting the children of the Sacred Family, he would definitely punish her severely and never favor her again.
"Aunt, you must come to see me again!" Shen Yu waved goodbye, reluctant to leave.
Now, Aunt Shen Xiu is his only relative.
After watching Shen Xiu leave, Shen Yu returned to the shabby house carrying a bunch of things.
He sat cross-legged, took a high-quality soul-quenching pill, and began to practice silently.
One day, he will restore the former glory of the sacred family!
……
The sky was cloudless in the afternoon and the sun was exceptionally bright and dazzling, making people's scalps hurt.
The City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Hall.
"Chang Ping, how many of these two medicines do you have?" Ye Zong put the premium Soul Tempering Pill and the premium Red Flame Body Tempering Pill on the table and asked excitedly.
"I can refine 3840 pills in a day and a night without rest." Chang Ping answered truthfully.
Ye Zong was startled when he heard this.
Is it so precise? There are even integers and zeros!
"Can we sell them all to the Fengxue family?" Ye Zong asked with a smile, "Ancestor Ye Yan is your godfather, and the Fengxue family is your home. The wealth can't be kept to outsiders." Afraid that Chang Ping would not agree, Ye Zong brought up the ancestor Ye Yan.
The Soul Condensing Pill and the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill are both top-level elixirs that can enable one to quickly cultivate to the Black Gold level.
If Chang Ping cooperates with other families, the influence of the Fengxue family in the City of Glory will be greatly weakened, and the next city lord may not be from their family.
After all, he is the head of the Fengxue family and cannot just watch his family decline.
"Okay!" Chang Ping nodded, "But you have to marry Ziyun to me!"
Ye Zong smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I have been trying to match you and Yun'er, but Yun'er refused to agree. Recently, she even said she wanted to hold a martial arts competition to find a bride. Yun'er is too stubborn, just like her mother, and I can't do anything about her."
Competition to recruit a bride?
Chang Ping stroked his chin, shook his thick eyebrows, pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "When will it be held?"
"About a month later, in early August..." Ye Zong recalled, "I don't know the details."
"You are her father, how can you not know about your daughter's marriage?"
Ye Zong smiled bitterly: "Since Yun'er merged with the divine nature, her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. She is now more powerful than her grandfather. She is determined not to let me control her, and there is nothing I can do."
"It's not because of the godhead, it's because of me." Chang Ping corrected, "The technique I practice is extremely special. Whenever my soul power grows, the soul power of my women will also grow."
"Otherwise, even if Ye Ziyun merged with the Godhead, it would be impossible for her to cultivate to the peak of the legendary level within three days."
"Your...reason?" Ye Zong was stunned when he heard this, "Why are you so awesome?"
