Chen Kuang's heart sank.
The relationship between Shen Xingzhu and Shen Meinan is not a simple sister, and he knows this well.
Because there are no normal pairs of twins, one of them was born ten years later.
What's more, in this kind of high-level martial arts world, there must be something fishy in it.
Chen Kuang once thought that the Shen family and Shen Xingzhu might use Shen Meinan as a tool to achieve a certain purpose, but Shen Xingzhu's attitude towards Shen Meinan confused him again.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Shen Xingzhu is cold-hearted.
But in terms of her attitude towards Shen Meinan, she really cared, spoke and acted as a sister.
Chen Kuang didn't think she was lying, and there was no need for her to lie.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Shen Meinan does not have any disgust or vigilance towards Shen Xingzhu, and he trusts her very much.
Chen Kuang felt that he might be suspicious.
But now it seems that there is not.
It had only been two days, and no matter how talented Shen Meinan was, it was impossible for him to jump directly from the innate realm to the master realm.
Not even cheating!
This must have something to do with Shen Xingzhu, and the relationship between the two of them as twin sisters is probably the key.
But what exactly happened in it, I'm afraid you can only know it if you see the person... Otherwise, even if you think about it, you can't figure out the reason.
"It's just that it's impossible to find her openly now...unless I can become a saint, or go to the Pure Land to become a disciple of the Buddha."
Chen Kuang sighed.
He is hiding now to regain some strength before heading to the Pure Land.
Although he is a demon now, there is no rule that says that Su Hui, the Buddhist disciple, must be a human being...
Moreover, the bloodline of this body comes from the Dragon Mother and has a relationship with the Buddha. Maybe it can win the trust of the monks and masters in the Pure Land.
Chen Kuang gathered his thoughts and continued to listen to the two practitioners gossiping.
The Shen family has never mentioned the existence of Shen Meinan, but the outside world also vaguely knows that the Shen family has a little daughter, but she has never shown her face.
This sudden high-profile announcement that Shen Meinan had become a grandmaster really surprised everyone.
"I heard that Shen Meinan has only turned sixteen this year. Now the Shen family is really a pair of beauties, the best in the past and present, right?"
"Hiss... is it true or not? Isn't this more terrifying than Shen Xingzhu?!"
"It's true! Just last night, the Shen family invited the author of Canglang Ping to notarize. Shen Meinan had a sparring match with Jiang Yunqing, the second-ranked 'Hui Jian', and pointed a sword between his eyebrows. Win."
"It's a pity that there was no second person to observe the specific process, and the Shen family also refused to allow Shen Meinan's name to be published by Canglang Ping because of his young age."
"But the result of this battle has been announced. Jiang Yunqing is the number one person under the Grandmaster. Shen Meinan won so lightly, how can he still not be a Grandmaster?"
The other person suddenly fell into a long silence. He couldn't help but pick up the wine glass next to him and take a sip, as if to calm down his shock.
sword? Chen Kuang frowned secretly.
If Shen Meinan wins with his sword, then there will be more problems...
Because Shen Meinan doesn't know swordsmanship at all!
Chen Kuang has lived and died with Shen Meinan several times, but he has never seen Shen Meinan use a sword. What she is good at is clearly talismans, weapon techniques, or money skills.
There are so many magical treasures on her body that she can kill someone directly...
But when it comes to swords, Chen Kuang has never seen her use them once. At best, she would hit people with the sword in its scabbard, or pull it out to scare people.
But this sword that touches the center of the eyebrow is better than the "Sword of Wisdom". No matter what, it is impossible to achieve the effect that can be achieved with magical spiritual treasures and talismans.
And this behavior... doesn't look like Shen Meinan's character.
Instead, it looks like... Shen Xingzhu.
Chen Kuang's eyelids twitched, and the thought that came to his mind startled him.
He calmed down. It was impossible. We couldn't say that Shen Xingzhu had taken away Shen Meinan, right?
Maybe the Shen family asked Shen Meinan to deliberately imitate Shen Xingzhu's style in order to build momentum.
This is somewhat possible.
The two practitioners exchanged cups for a while, and the topic jumped back to the matter of "Chen Kuang fighting the Martial Saint".
It can be seen that this incident has quite a big impact among practitioners, especially the arrival of the Martial Saint.
"By the way, Brother Li, you are well-informed. Do you know when the Martial Saint will leave seclusion? Since he has already appeared once in his incarnation, he must not be far away."
"It's difficult...I heard it has been postponed again."
"Didn't you say that we are already attacking the Shenliao Realm? Could it be that in our era, we really can't get out of the Shenliao Realm..."
"Maybe you want stability? But the Pinggu Battlefield Secret Realm will be closed in a month. I don't know when it will be reopened."
"Brother Li, I heard that the last seven days of the Pinggu battlefield will be open to third-level practitioners?"
"Don't think about it. The quotas and qualifications are all in the hands of those big sects. How can we casual cultivators join in the fun?"
"Okay...sigh."
The cultivator took another sip of wine and said with some regret: "It would be great if I could be favored by the sect."
The person known as Brother Li echoed: "Yes, I heard a rumor before, I don't know whether it is true or not."
"It's said that... the little princess who escaped from Liang Kingdom appeared in Yong'an Prefecture, accompanied by the disciples of Freedom Mountain."
"If it's true, it would be a great show."
Well...this should be true.
Chen Kuang thought.
It was natural for Zhang Zhizhou to find Su Huaiying. In the fantasy world, he had assisted Su Huaiying countless times. Now that he returned to reality, he would definitely have to "clear the level in one life".
The little princess is smart and alert, and has experience in reincarnation, so there should be no need to worry too much.
But this time, Chu Wenruo's "death", whether true or false, would probably be a major blow to her, and she didn't know if she could still stabilize her mentality.
This princess who lost her country will finally embark on her long road of revenge alone...
However, it seems that there must be something to this flood in Yong'an Prefecture.
Shennongsi was so concerned, and now Su Huaiying, who was equivalent to a prophet of uncertainty, also came here.
Chen Kuang does not think this is a bad thing. On the contrary, it may help him obtain "good karma".
…
The business in Xuni Pavilion is indeed not that easy.
There were several officers passing by the door all morning, and most of them would stay in front of the door for a while, as if they were watching.
This is a place that is meant to be elegant and fun, but it is so disappointing that the guests are naturally not willing to stay longer.
Yu Xiangsi's expression was also hesitant, and she glanced frequently in the direction of Lian Mi's room, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Kuang was not assigned much work, and he soon became free and had nothing to do - this was naturally what Liu Qingcheng meant.
Otherwise, when she thought of such an old monster who killed monsters without blinking an eye, being ordered to do such chores, she felt her throat was a little itchy.
Chen Kuang had nothing to do, so he went to find Lian Mi.
After finishing his work this morning, he had a few more golden leaves on his hands...
Some were rewarded for no reason, and some were picked up while cleaning corners.
It seemed that those few boxes of silver were still counted among his wealth.
Chen Kuang now feels like a humanoid Pixiu. When he passes by a place, he automatically starts sucking money, basically trying to get it into his hands.
Lian Mi was washing clothes again. Lady Liu loved to be clean and had to bathe and wash every day, so she washed her clothes every day.
Fortunately, the clothes are not dirty. They only need to be scrubbed and washed, so the workload is not heavy.
Chen Kuang sat down casually and spread his hands. The golden leaves were particularly dazzling in the midday sun.
Lian Mi was stunned, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened into an "O" shape.
"You...where did you get so much money?!"
She pressed down Chen Kuang's hand nervously and whispered: "Oh, why are you so stupid! This kind of money... you have to hide it. If someone sees it, you will have to report it to the official!"
Chen Kuang couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think I stole it?"
Lian Mi curled her lips and said, "Isn't it true? Otherwise, where did you get so much money?"
Chen Kuang said: "I just met a guest who was very interested in poetry. He wrote a good poem. He was in a good mood and wanted to spread his wealth. When he saw me next to him, he asked me if the poem was good, and I said it was very good."
"When he was happy, he threw his money bag to me and ran out to find his friends."
Lian Mi was dumbfounded and a little dizzy: "This...how is this possible?!"
How come there are such people in this world? !
Chen Kuang said: "The man looked up to the sky and laughed, and ran out like crazy. Many people saw it."
Lian Mi was stunned for a long time, and finally accepted the fact, but couldn't help but wonder: "Are the poems he wrote really good?"
Chen Kuang thought for a while and said, "It should be good."
In fact, he didn't hear any poems written by that man at all.
If he was caught asking if he was okay out of nowhere, then of course he could only say yes.
Lian Mi pouted her lips in frustration and looked at the gold leaf in Chen Kuang's hand: "What kind of luck are you? Why did you just sit there without moving and you still had the money to send it to you?"
Chen Kuang smiled: "Yes, so, if you don't get rewarded for your merits, I'll give you these gold leaves."
Lian Mi was stunned and said: "Really?"
Chen Kuang nodded and said with a smile: "How much is left before the ransom money? If I work harder these days and give you more compliments, I might be able to earn enough for you."
Lian Mi pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and said: "Just a little bit, I can save it next month."
"So...if you don't want to compliment me, you don't have to say it."
Chen Kuang smiled silently.
This little maid also knows how to take care of people's self-esteem.
Lian Mi put away a few golden leaves and said with great care: "Thank you. Apart from Madam Liu, you are the first person to be so kind to me."
Chen Kuang said: "What good can I do... When you redeem yourself and leave, you will meet more people who are good to you."
Lian Mi shook her head: "It's different. Meeting good people in good times is different from meeting good people in bad times."
She actually felt in her heart that there was no way she could redeem herself.
Waiting for tonight, she would secretly stuff these gold leaves under the door of Chen Kuang's room.
"Lian Mi, have you finished washing? I've made room for you to dry your clothes."
Another maid shouted from down the corridor.
Lian Mi quickly responded: "It's coming, it's coming!"
He quickly trotted away with a tub of clothes.
Chen Kuang withdrew his gaze, turned around, and quietly entered Liu Qingcheng's room again.
With the passive presence of "you can't see me", it is easy for him to reduce his sense of existence. Generally, he only needs to say nothing or do anything inappropriate.
Madam Liu was in the room holding the soft sword for performance and looking at it carefully. Sometimes she couldn't help but get a little excited and started dancing with the sword.
Vaguely, it seemed to be imitating Chen Kuang's action of piercing Wu Man's throat with his sword last night.
However, a sword dance is always just a sword dance.
This soft sword has only its shape and no lethality. It looks like the sharp light of the sword, but in fact it can only scratch some blood.
She didn't notice Chen Kuang in the room at all. She finished dancing with concentration, and when she wanted to take a break and drink tea, she turned her head and met Chen Kuang's eyes.
"Ah!" Liu Qingcheng was startled, and then couldn't help but said: "When did senior arrive?"
Chen Kuang said: "Just now."
Liu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not seen trying to imitate Chen Kuang's sword.
Chen Kuang added: "Your sword dance is quite beautiful."
Liu Qingcheng: "..."
Wuwuwuwuwu, I was still seen!
Lady Liu's cold and charming face suddenly turned red, almost flushing, and she felt extremely ashamed.
On a whim, she thought of Chen Kuang's crisp sword strike last night, and couldn't help but want to try it herself.
Unexpectedly, Chen Kuang noticed it.
Chen Kuang did not expect Liu Qingcheng to react so violently.
However, if you think about it carefully, Liu Qingcheng's behavior is inevitably a bit like the chuunibyou who used the Kamen Rider belt to transform at home, and then was bumped into by family members and relatives...
It's really quite shameful.
Chen Kuang laughed dumbly and said: "If you want to learn swordsmanship, I can also teach you, but whether you can understand it or not depends on your own ability."
Liu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy: "Thank you, senior!"
Chen Kuang asked: "But, do you have an answer to my question last night?"
Liu Qingcheng nodded and said: "Thanks to senior's awakening, I figured it out... I do still recognize my identity as a human being, and wanting to be a demon is just a temporary hypocrisy."
She was calm and admitted that what she said before was actually just impulsive.
Chen Kuang smiled and said: "You can teach me."
"You need to know that the inheritance of demon skills is based on the awakening of blood. It is completely different from humans. The demon blood in your body is too weak, so it has not been awakened. Therefore, you have no way to practice the demon skills."
"If you choose the demon clan, even if I give you the skills, you will only become obsessed with it."
Liu Qingcheng was secretly shocked after hearing this.
This is indeed a test!
If she can't face her true heart, I'm afraid it will be a dead end...
Liu Qingcheng said quickly: "By the way, I wanted to apologize to senior and offer an apology."
She turned around, opened the cabinet and took out a box.
"This glazed shadow lamp was a gift given to me by King Jingnan before. It is said that it can use magical powers to freeze people in place. But to me, it is just a lamp."
"I wonder, could it be useful to seniors?"
Liu Qingcheng opened the box, and there was indeed a lamp made of colorful glass.
"There's another magic thing about this lamp. I don't know why, if it shines on someone, it doesn't cast a shadow."
Liu Qingcheng held the lamp and raised her head, but was stunned.
Opposite Chen Kuang, there was not only a shadow behind him, but two shadows!
