This man's tone was as uncomfortable as ever, and he felt aloof, as if everyone had to lower their heads in front of him. There was really no affinity at all.
If you usually talk like this, let alone curse people.
At this moment, the man was yelling at a man who was not particularly old, but looked as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life. The scolded man could only lower his head and blush for a long time.
I couldn't hold back a word to retort.
Because he knew who the voice was, Shen Qing walked out of the house directly. The distance between the stairs and the room he was in was only a few feet, so when he came out, the two people were almost in front of him.
Then the one who cursed was stunned for a moment, saying that he never expected that he would meet Shen Qing here.
The one who was scolded was also stunned for a moment, but after he was stunned, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again.
"Haha, what a coincidence, brother Shen Qing, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Is it a coincidence?" Shen Qing smiled, "It is indeed a coincidence, Mr. Liu, I wanted to find you."
Young Master Liu?
Yes, this person is Liu Jie!
And the man in his fifties who was yelled at by him was naturally his master.
It's just that Shen Qing didn't know his master, and thought he was just a servant of their Liu family or some kind of deacon.
The reason for this is very simple. Liu Jie's master actually has no title. Not to mention Shen Qing, even a large part of the Liu family does not know the existence of this so-called master!
Is this true for the Liu family, let alone outsiders?
"Looking for me? Haha, brother Shen Qing didn't win enough, why did he ask me to rub salt into the wound afterwards?"
Liu Jie was smiling, and his smile was Feng Qingyun Dan.
It was almost unbelievable that such words came out of his mouth. You must know that before he lost to Shen Qing in the Wanren Competition, he would never laugh at himself. Sometimes, he would always be the only one to laugh at and laugh at.
Make fun of others because he has the capital!
However, to be honest, no matter how capital you have, you will inevitably make a fool of yourself sometimes.
But even so, he still wouldn't ridicule himself before, because he was so arrogant that he didn't even want to face his mistakes, mistakes, and even his bad side.
It’s different now!
This was also the main reason why Shen Qing felt that the strongest Liu Jie had just "evolved successfully" when the conference came to an end.
In the past, the only flaw of the Liu family, which was also the biggest fatal weakness, was his inflexible personality. If he could not win without being arrogant or discouraged by defeat, he would naturally allow others to take advantage of him.
Because a weakness in character is often even more terrifying than a person's strength in a Yuandao fight.
So Liu Jie should be happy. What he lost was just a game within the scope of Wanren Mountain, but his ambition is far beyond Wanren Mountain. He must and will definitely get out of Wanren Mountain.
For a man from Shan, this failure is actually a different kind of experience for him to achieve the effect of making him grow up.
At the moment when he lost the game, Liu Jie didn't think so, but then, he suddenly figured it out, and that's why Liu Jie, who can laugh at himself, appeared now.
Shen Qing glanced at him, but the expression on his face did not change. Although Liu Jie's maturity in character was not expected by him, he had been mentally prepared. This was not only for Liu Jie, but also for Shen Qing.
Qing’s mentality towards every opponent.
Everyone will become stronger. Not only is he constantly improving, but he will even imagine that every opponent's progress is much greater than his own. In this way, when they really face each other, they will definitely not appear.
The situation of being careless and underestimating the enemy.
After all, the behavior of underestimating the enemy is often unconscious. It does not mean that you can restrain yourself if you want to.
Just like the game where Liu Jie lost, Liu Jie already attached great importance to Shen Qing from the beginning, and even in the first few rounds. Logically speaking, in his mood of striving to kill Shen Qing, he absolutely shouldn't
If anything goes wrong.
But what about the facts?
The fact is that due to some unexpected circumstances, Shen Qing was vulnerable to him, so it was natural for him to underestimate the enemy. But at the beginning, he really had the mentality of going all out to win a quick victory.
.
With a living example before his eyes, how could Shen Qing not benefit from it?
Of course, he didn't need Liu Jie's example, because he had already understood this truth as early as Qinglu Dao.
But obviously, Liu Jie probably understands this truth now...
Shen Qing glanced at Liu Jie and smiled casually: "Young Master Liu, you're just joking. I don't dare to rub salt into your wounds. What's more, I'm not qualified to do it."
"I'm afraid Brother Shen Qing is too humble. Even if he wins, I won. To say he's not qualified is too hypocritical."
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. The only reason why they did not take action directly is because this is the territory of the Liu family. However, in the past, Liu Jie would definitely have taken action immediately, but now it is different. His character
After you become mature, you will naturally not pick up a hoe and smash into your own walls.
After all, this entire prosperous area with the Tiandao Chamber of Commerce as the center is under the supervision of the Liu family, and it is also an important source of funds for the Liu family. As the eldest son of the family, it is conceivable that if he takes the lead in causing trouble here,
, how bad the impact will be.
As for Shen Qing, the reason is even simpler.
He is not stupid. He clearly knows that he is no match for Liu Jie now, so how can he rush to take action?
Of course, if Liu Jie acted provocatively or something like that, that would be a different matter. Obviously, Liu Jie had no intention of doing so.
However, the two of them were definitely not bickering. Neither of them had the time or thought. The reason why they still exchanged a few false polite words was actually to test each other's psychology.
Liu Jie felt that after Shen Qing defeated him, Shen Qing would be so confident that he didn't know what was going on. If this was the case, he would not have to rush to deal with Shen Qing, because no matter how talented an arrogant person is, he is not particularly capable of fighting for the future.
fear.
Shen Qing felt that Liu Jie's character had made great progress after losing to him. Now after testing, this is indeed the case.
Then he would have to work harder, because for now, he really couldn't find anything in Liu Jie that could give him an advantage.
"Okay, brother Shen Qing, you can go about your business. I also have things to be busy with here, so I won't talk to you any more."
After giving Shen Qing a few last glances, Liu Jie was about to turn around and leave.
Obviously, his appearance here had other purposes, but after discovering that Shen Qing was also there, this place was no longer suitable and he was ready to leave.
But before leaving, he suddenly turned around, smiled meaningfully at Shen Qing, and said: "By the way, I heard that you were appointed by my father before and worked as an external guard in my Liu family for a period of time.
It won’t be settled until Ten Thousand Ren Zhengfeng is launched, and it seems that he has made some achievements, am I right?"
Hearing this, Shen Qing frowned secretly, wondering what tricks this guy was trying to play.
It was definitely not an excuse to mock him, because Liu Jie should know that if it was just a mockery, it would not be enough to cause any psychological impact on Shen Qing.
What could that be?
Shen Qing smiled and said, "Young Master Liu is right, but why did you mention this so suddenly?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just think that talents like you are really rare. If you still want to, you might as well continue to work in my Liu family. And don't worry, I can use my identity as the young head of the family to guarantee you that there is absolutely no need to start from the Liu family this time.
I started as a guard, but directly joined the ranks of my Liu family’s elite talent cultivation."
Liu Jie's expression was sincere, and he didn't know how much he really longed for Shen Qing.
But Shen Qing knew that the truth was far from that simple.
"What do you think, Brother Shen Qing, think about it? Think about it, you and I are competing for the top two in Wanren Mountain. If we join forces, will there be others in Wanren Mountain in the future?"
After saying that, Liu Jie chuckled and said, "Brother Shen Qing, that's all I'm saying. As for what you think, just make your own decision. The door of my Liu family is always open for you."
This time he finally turned around and left completely. After he left, Shen Qing immediately came to the window to observe and found that Liu Jie had not left too far, but had just changed to another inn.
He knew very well that Liu Jie's words just now could not be understood literally. He could not possibly have any intention of soliciting or joining forces.
"Haha, what a good trick. If I go, I will definitely be harmed by him. If I don't go, he can tell people that he sincerely invites me, but I am suspicious by nature. While restoring a certain reputation for the Liu family, he can also suppress me.
His reputation is really killing two birds with one stone."
Through the window lattice, Shen Qing's eyes followed Liu Jie until he entered another inn.
It has to be said that Liu Jie's character has indeed changed too much. He used to be a reckless person who thoughtlessly provoked the entire Wanren Mountain in the Wanren Giant Arena, but now he has understood that the competition for power is not just about swords and fists.
.
This is important.
Because after this Wanren competition, Shen Qing's reputation and status in Wanren have grown exponentially. The number of guests in the hall who crossed the threshold is the best proof.
And because the Yu family's successful model was ahead of them, the Liu family had no choice but to quickly think of a way to curb the Shen family's development momentum.
After all, competition for power has always been a trade-off relationship. If all families get closer to the Shen family, then there is no doubt that the status of the Liu family will be weakened and changed invisibly.
For the Liu family, the best way to control this situation is to start with Shen Qing.
But now, Shen Qing is so popular, and they can't do anything drastic to Shen Qing, so the best way is to ruin Shen Qing's reputation!
"Liu Jie, Liu Jie, it seems that your appearance here today is not a coincidence but intentional. Haha, I don't know whether your father taught you this strategy or you came up with it yourself. If it is the latter,
You really impress me!"
Shen Qing smiled coldly, and Liu Jie's figure finally disappeared from his sight...
