The other courtyard of Shen Mansion is Wansongju.
Shen Qi, who was lost in thought, heard an almost inaudible sound of wind coming from behind him, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He gently took away the tea cup that had been in his hand for an unknown amount of time when he was wandering in his mind, and said with a smile: "You are back? When did you get home?"
A slightly cold but respectful voice replied solemnly, "I've been back for a while, and I saw no outsiders in Wansongju, so I didn't come to disturb you. Brother, are there visitors to the other courtyard today?"
The person who came was none other than Shen Qi's second concubine brother, Shen Wei.
He has been extremely talented in martial arts since he was a child. He has been in the Holy King Heaven Realm for many years and is now the number one master of the Shen family's martial arts.
Shen Qi smiled and said, "There are a few children here. They are the children of my old friends. What's the matter? Did you see them just now?"
Shen Wei said lightly: "I saw two of them by the lotus pond. One looked ordinary, but the other..."
He thought thoughtfully: "——It's hard to say, but it's a bit weird."
"oh?"
Shen Qi was surprised for a moment, turned to look at his younger brother, and immediately understood that the two people he saw must be Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng.
"The weird person you mentioned must be that girl Azhao, right? Yes, she has a sick appearance and is different from ordinary people, but she is also a miserable person."
Unexpectedly, Shen Wei shook his head.
"No, what I mean by weird is not that her face is weird, but that her cultivation seems a bit unpredictable."
Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, "Her cultivation level? Is there anything weird about her?"
He recalled for a moment, frowned and continued: "Brother, I met her once in the reception hall today, and I also carefully observed her state at that time, but I didn't see anything strange.
It seems that he is just a young man from Jinyao Realm, but he has some chance to meet the Prince of Xunyang County in Zhaoge. "
Shen Wei pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head thoughtfully.
"No, Di Guan's cultivation realm is indeed only in the Jinyao realm at first glance. But the strange thing is that today I deliberately leaked a very weak internal power in the garden. Unexpectedly, the ugly-faced girl immediately came to me I looked over from the hiding place, and her look..."
Like a sudden flash of light... I guess it's not a coincidence, right?
At that moment, his senses were absolutely unmistakable, but looking at her cultivation level, it was indeed only the Jin Yao realm. After careful consideration, he was puzzled.
Shen Wei murmured, "That look from her gave me a very bad feeling. It was like thousands of sword blades coming straight at me. Dantian Qi sea, the middle door wide open, you can swim freely, that kind of letting people eat and drink, and there is no way to avoid it." This illusion is rare in my life - as if at that moment, as long as she thought about it, I was already a dead person."
"What? Let the dantian qi sea come in and out? How is this possible?"
Shen Qi turned pale in horror.
"You are now in the Holy King Heavenly Realm. You are only half a step away from entering the void. She is only in the Golden Remote Realm..."
"——Then what if she is not just a mere Jin Yaojing?"
Shen Wei's eyes were burning and he looked at his brother gently.
"If she hadn't reminded her at that time, the young man in the Guanyuxuan realm next to her would never have noticed my existence. Does my brother still think that she is really just Jin Yao?"
Shen Qi was stunned when he heard this.
After a moment, he still shook his head slowly.
"This must be an illusion, right? If she, a little girl, can hide her own level of strength and keep people like you and me in the dark, what kind of expert level does it take to do it?
——Maybe it was just a coincidence that she happened to be looking at the shade of the tree, and you happened to be standing under the tree. "
Shen Qi thought for a while and suddenly asked with concern: "Is it because you are about to make a breakthrough, so you are feeling restless?"
...So just like a frightened bird, flying flowers and falling leaves also feel it?
When Shen Wei heard this, he was startled for a moment, then fell silent. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, he sighed softly.
"Brother, I have been stuck in the Heavenly Realm of the Holy King for more than eight years. I have always been trapped in the Holy King and cannot break through the great way. Now that I think about it, my talent is ultimately limited. If I only rely on myself to realize the Tao, I am afraid I can only stop at In the Holy King's Heavenly Realm, you will never be able to advance further for the rest of your life."
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized what he meant. He was shocked and sat upright suddenly.
He asked solemnly: "Do you want to...?"
Shen Wei was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, acknowledging it.
"Brother, I have decided to ask the masters in the world to break the Holy King realm in my heart."
"absurd!"
Shen Qi's face was full of anger, with a hint of anxiety and worry.
"Is it so important to improve your cultivation? You are now in the Saint King Heavenly Realm. How many people in this world can surpass you? Why bother to be persistent again? - You want to ask, who are you going to? ask?
Now you can ask, who is not a famous master in the world today? The life-and-death duel between masters only lasts for one day and one night, and the confrontation is like an overwhelming force! Throughout the ages, how many masters have also failed in the journey of 'asking'? "
Shen Wei smiled extremely freely, and the sharpness in his eyes softened slightly.
He looked at his brother quietly and said, "Brother, asking is not just about watching a show - when the sword rises and falls, life or death will be determined! And I, Shen Wei, am not afraid of life and death, but I just want a happy experience."
Shen Qi was frightened by the blazing light in his eyes, and he remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Qi seemed to finally accept his brother's decision in his heart.
He asked solemnly: "If that's the case, then who do you want to ask...?"
Shen Wei seemed to already have the answer in his mind. When he heard Shen Qi's question, he spit out a name without even a moment's hesitation——
"Zhaoge, the road hurts the bird."
Shen Qi was stunned.
"Lord Lu Shangquelu of Zhaoge City? The sword attendant of Princess Tianchen, who has now reached half-step into the Void Heaven realm in martial arts?"
Shen Wei nodded lightly and looked towards the southern sky, "Exactly, the weapon I, Shen Wei, cultivate is a sword. If a swordsman wants to ask, he will naturally ask about the number one sword in the Southern Dynasty!"
When he said this, he suddenly smiled softly like a self-mockery.
"However, I am self-aware. With my current cultivation level in the Saint King Heaven Realm, how can I be qualified to ask that question to the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal'?
However, I heard that Lu Shangque, who grew up in the Xie family of Xunyang and was originally a slave of the Xie family, was given the title of "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" by the Xie family since he was a child because of his talent in martial arts. Little Sword Attendant.
He has practiced the Xie family's "Hetu Swordsmanship" together with the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" since he was a child. Now he has reached the half-step void realm - if I ask, he is the most suitable. "
Shen Qi was slightly startled when he heard this.
Lu Shangque was the swordsman of Fu Jingci, the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" who was known as the "No. 1 Sword of the Southern Dynasties". He studied the same swordsmanship - "Hetu Swordsmanship" as the best swordsman in the world today.
Although these people come from humble backgrounds, their martial arts achievements are now enough to stand out among the heroes and make sword cultivators all over the world look at them!
Commander Shen took a long breath and murmured thoughtfully:
"... Lu Shang Que? That is an excellent choice. He is not only Princess Tianchen's domestic slave, but also grew up with Her Royal Highness since childhood. He is half a member of the court. I guess he knows some 'rules' and human feelings.
Our Shen family has been loyal to the Tianchen royal family for generations, and we can be considered to have made some contributions to the country and the country, no matter how big or small. Thinking about it, if you ask him, he will definitely not kill you for the sake of His Highness. "
Unexpectedly, Shen Wei shook his head slightly.
"Brother, no matter life or death, how can I put my hope in human kindness? - If Lu Shangque really treated Rongqing, I would not have been forced into a desperate situation, and then I would have survived, and my martial arts skills would have been shattered. If it had been So, this... What difference does it make if I ask or not? Then, it is better to live in Ruyang and never go out from now on, which is better than losing the dignity of a martial arts person."
