It was already early the next morning when I returned to the family. It was already spring, and the soil was wet after the earth was civilized. At the gate of the garden, several servants were cleaning the stone steps.
The trees beside the courtyard were bare and had not yet sprouted new buds. She didn't know whether it was because the winter weather had not completely faded away or something else. Shen Qing suddenly felt that his home seemed a little run down and deserted.
However, he is in a better mood at the moment. After all, after this trip, he has reached the fourth level of the Yuan Dao realm, and has reached the middle level of the Spirit Dao realm. Such progress in less than a month is really quite huge.
He wanted to share the good news with his father.
"It's quite cold. Let's go in and take a rest for the time being. It's not too late to come out and do some work when the sun is shining brightly."
Shen Qing walked towards the garden with a warm smile and smiled at the busy helpers at the door.
His popularity is not very good in Wanrenshan, but within his own family, he has absolutely nothing to say, because he is particularly kind and considerate even to such casual outside helpers, who are just sweeping the streets and chopping firewood.
So when everyone sees him, they all happily call him "Young Master" from the bottom of their hearts.
But not today.
The helpers smiled when they saw him, but they smiled reluctantly, as if something happened that prevented them from laughing.
Shen Qing frowned, "What's wrong? Something happened at home...?!"
A rickety old man among the servants sighed heavily, "Oh, Master, we are servants and it's hard to tell. Anyway, we didn't come back the past few days so we all went home to rest. But as soon as I came back today, I heard that
Your father is... gone."
"Go, go?!"
Shen Qing seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt from the blue, and even hesitated to speak.
The old helper really didn't explain clearly, so Shen Qing immediately understood "leave" as the person who passed away.
"Master, go in and take a look for yourself, the other young masters are talking about it."
The old servant said something again, and then he lowered his head to clean up the mud, but it could be seen that even a short-term servant like him was quite worried about the rumors of Shen Yuan's "accident".
Shen Qing's good mood suddenly fell to the bottom. He frowned and walked quickly into the garden.
At first glance, there is actually no difference from usual. Everyone should be boxing and practicing sword practice. But if you look closely, you will find that everyone’s face is no longer as enthusiastic as before.
He looked thoughtful and absent-minded.
Shen Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly, and when he arrived at the martial arts arena, he called out to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei's injury has long since recovered. During Shen Qing's absence, he was the backbone of the juniors. Indeed, he did a good job. Even though he was obviously full of melancholy, he could still patiently guide his peers in the details of their cultivation.
When he heard someone calling him, he turned around.
When I saw Shen Qing, I didn't know how to describe the expression on my face. It was excitement, surprise, excitement, and even a little scary...
"Young Master?!"
Shen Fei exclaimed, and with a flash, the eyes of two to three hundred young people in the whole place, including Xici City, looked over at the same time.
Shen Qing originally wanted to ask Shen Fei privately, but now he can only say hello to everyone.
But before he could say hello, the crowd cheered and surrounded him. Everyone had grievances on their faces and they couldn't even hear what they were saying clearly.
"Everyone, be quiet and ask one by one, what happened? What happened to my father...?"
The crowd gradually died down and it was completely quiet. Shen Fei gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, that beast Liu Xun came a few days ago. He said you were dead and asked the man named Qin to slap my uncle! "
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing's heart became even colder!
Originally, the servant outside said that his father was gone, but now Shen Fei said that his father was slapped by Butler Qin. Who is Butler Qin? He is a person second only to Liu Hengfeng in terms of strength. His father was beaten by Butler Qin. His palm...
In an instant, Shen Qing's eyes turned red, and a violent aura filled the air.
"Hey, young master, why are you going?!"
Shen Fei was still waiting to complain, but Shen Qing had already turned around and left.
"Avenge my father!"
"Young master, wait a minute. Revenge can be considered in the long term. For now, it is more important to find my uncle first!"
Shen Qing frowned and turned around, "Get it back?"
"Yes!" Shen Fei frowned, and then told the story of the incident in detail.
After hearing this, Shen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just leaving.
Fortunately, otherwise, even if he was born with the power of God, it would have been a long time since the incident happened, and he might not be able to come back to life.
But rest assured, the sense of humiliation will never diminish. Liu Xun actually brought Butler Qin to the door to bully him. If the debt cannot be paid off, he will write the word "Chen" upside down!
"My father said he was looking for his family ancestors?"
"Yes, I also heard what Uncle Tang said. Based on time calculation, my uncle said that there is still a 10 to 20% chance that the ancestor who left the Tianguang Nine Casting Techniques is still alive. He wants to find that ancestor and then request to teach Yuan skills. , come back to avenge you."
"Hey, you said this was a big deal, what should we do now?"
Shen Fei sighed and stamped his feet, he was really worried about family affairs.
"You guys can continue to practice. I'll discuss it with Uncle Tang first. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Shen Qing calmed down. After figuring out the whole story, he was relatively calm. After all, it was okay not to be calm. He could let his temper go to the Liu family and even kill Liu Xun. But what about these people? Did they all die because of their own impulse?
Therefore, the matter does need to be considered in the long term, at least, we must first get our father back.
I met Tang Zhong and the Fourth Grand Duke and checked the matter again. The two elders had similar opinions to me, but it could be seen that the Fourth Grand Duke was really old and full of emotions. He would sigh and curse in front of Shen. Qing's face said that Shen Yuan was acting on impulse and should not have left home impulsively in the first place.
"Okay, Grandpa, please stop saying a few words. Isn't Shen Qing back? Let's quickly think of a way to get Brother Shen back." Tang Zhong sighed and advised.
"Looking for it, no matter how hard it is, more than half a month has passed. With the strength of his feet, he has already left the boundary of Wanren Mountain!" The Fourth Grand Duke was still angry, looking like he hated iron.
Shen Qing was helpless and embarrassed, "Didn't father send a letter home?"
"Why am I so angry when he comes?!"
Tang Zhong secretly winked at Shen Qing, and Shen Qing understood. Then they pretended to discuss it for a while, and then it came to an end for the time being.
But as soon as he went out, he went to discuss with Tang Zhong alone.
"Shen Qing, don't take it to heart because your Fourth Grandfather is old. Let us discuss whatever happens in the future. If you can, don't cause any trouble for the Fourth Grandfather."
Shen Qing nodded, "I know Uncle Tang, the fourth prince has devoted his life to the family, I can still remember to blame him."
Tang Zhong nodded happily. There was no distinction between the Shen family and the West Temple in his heart, so the more sensible Shen Qing was, the more pleased he would be.
"Shen Qing, listen, what I mean is to endure it for the time being. One is that your father is not that reckless at all. He just mistakenly thought that you were killed, and his mood was turbulent for a while. It must have been a while. It should take some time to calm down, and I will send a letter home by then."
As he spoke, he paused.
"Secondly, whether we want to admit it or not, we are currently no match for the Liu family. So Liu Xun cannot make a move. Once he does, it will be a disaster!"
After saying this, he looked at Shen Qing, fearing that Shen Qing, who always refused to suffer losses, would not be able to swallow this bad breath.
However, Shen Qing nodded. He has been growing up and already knows that the behavior of not giving up an inch of land and being hostile overnight will not bring any benefits to the family. Although it will make everyone feel comfortable, it is really If you don't handle it well in the slightest, what you will bring back is a bloody lesson.
He was bleeding profusely. As for others, after all, not everyone has the surname Shen, and not everyone is the orthodox member of this family.
"This is the best! You can let go of my worries if you can figure it out. You said that your father entrusted his power to me..."
"Uncle Tang, it's not an entrustment. This power belongs to you. We are a family." Shen Qing said seriously. These words were not words of comfort against his will, but came from the heart.
Tang Zhong's eyes were moved, and he quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. You listen to my thoughts first. I think it's not too late to take revenge. You can wait until the Ten Thousand Ren Zhengfeng Conference!"
"How do you say this?"
"Just think about it, with the power of the Liu family, if we really want to let things go, even if everything goes smoothly, we may not be able to do it in thirty or fifty years, right?"
Shen Qing nodded, this is a fact.
"But we can't afford to wait for thirty to fifty years. Since Liu Xun has already become murderous towards you, and after finding out that you are not dead this time, his next actions will definitely become more and more frequent. Even if he can't kill him, who can?" Is it guaranteed that he will hit the rest of us like he did this time?"
"So Uncle Tang means that I should destroy him in the Ten Thousand Ren Zhan?"
Tang Zhong said nothing, but his eyes proved everything.
"Okay, let's do that. There are still about two months in April, I think it should be enough for me to prepare."
"Well, I don't think it's a big problem for you. Liu Xun blocked your father's slap that day when he came to the door. I think he is at the third level of Tianguang at most, but I don't believe he can compare to you in his understanding of Yuan skills. ."
As he said that, Tang Zhong suddenly changed the subject, "However, I don't know if you will agree. I want you to give up the game immediately after defeating Liu Xun, regardless of whether you can fight again, even if you pretend to be seriously injured." ."
"Uncle Tang is worried that I will suffer revenge from Liu Jie and Liu Yi later?"
Tang Zhong nodded and said seriously: "You are young and full of energy, and winning the Ten Thousand Ren Zhengfeng Conference is the highest honor in the hearts of all young people, so I must warn you in advance about this matter. If you want to take revenge, you have to give up." This opportunity. Otherwise, you would be giving Liu Jie and Liu Yi a reasonable opportunity to avenge Liu Xun."
"Well, don't worry, Uncle Tang. It will depend on the situation. I won't force it."
"It doesn't depend on the situation, but you have to give up. Did you know that according to my inquiries, Liu Yi has reached the fifth level of Tianguang, and Liu Jie has reached the peak of the sixth level!
