Chapter 199
Not long after, Shen Luoyan came back.
She said to Xiao Zhan with some embarrassment:
"My father is in seclusion. How about you stay here first? Once my father comes out of seclusion, I will take you to see him right away."
Xiao Zhan nodded. The true vitality of the bamboo forest in the Shen family was extremely strong, so he would not delay his practice if he stayed.
"Okay," Shen Luoyan looked at Shen Yutong and said:
"Yutong, since you have been living here these days, you might as well let Xiao Zhan live in your bamboo house."
Shen Yutong nodded quickly, "Okay."
"Brother Xiao, my bamboo house is less than two miles away from here. How about I take you to see it now?"
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm', "That's good for you."
"It should be," Shen Luoyan slowly stood up and led Xiao Zhan through the bamboo forest.
Not long after, a small two-story bamboo building appeared in front of us.
This place is much more gorgeous than Shen Luoyan's bamboo building.
The edge of the bamboo building is not only full of flowers and plants, but also a fish pond with colorful fish swimming happily.
Xiao Zhan took a casual glance and saw a layer of true essence stones on the bottom of the pool.
Shen Yutong said proudly:
"When these fish were first raised here, they were not so beautiful. I thought that the True Essence Stone might be useful to them."
"I didn't expect these fish to become so beautiful. They can understand what I say."
With that said, Shen Yutong ran to the edge of the fish pond and stretched out a hand towards the fish pond:
"Fish, fish, swim over here!"
Sure enough, in the next moment, all the fish in the fish pond swam happily to Shen Yutong's hand.
Shen Yutong also pointed to the flowers and plants nearby, "Use the water from the fish pond to water the flowers, and the flowers will bloom more beautifully."
At this time, Shen Yutong looked like a senior gardener, proudly showing off his achievements.
However, Shen Luoyan noticed Xiao Zhan's lack of interest, so he took Xiao Zhan into the bamboo building.
The bamboo building is filled with all kinds of exquisite ornaments.
"The bedroom is on the second floor," Shen Luoyan said softly, "I will take you..."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said slowly:
"After all, this is your sister's residence, so I won't go up there."
"Besides, I usually meditate and practice Qigong when I have time, so I just have this yard."
Shen Luoyan nodded, "Then if you need anything, you can come to me directly."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm'.
Shen Luoyan looked at Shen Yutong squatting by the pool and shouted:
"Leave Yutong."
Shen Yutong shook his head, "Second sister, otherwise, let's stay here tonight. I haven't fed these fish for a long time."
"And it's the first time Brother Xiao comes to our Shen family. It's not polite for us to leave Brother Xiao here alone."
Shen Luoyan frowned, "Yutong, don't be willful. Brother Xiao wants to practice, so don't disturb him."
Hearing this, Shen Yutong turned to look at Xiao Zhan, "Brother Xiao, will the second sister and I staying here affect your practice?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded:
"You should go back early, don't be lazy, and practice hard."
Shen Yutong had no choice but to nod and follow Shen Luoyan away.
Returning to Shen Luoyan's yard, Shen Yutong immediately picked up the sword and waved it in the bamboo forest.
Shen Luoyan said angrily:
"I asked you to practice, but you just wanted to be lazy. Brother Xiao asked you to practice hard, but you were so active, right?"
"Of course! Brother Xiao is my savior, of course I have to listen to him," Shen Yutong replied matter-of-factly.
Shen Luoyan glared at Shen Yutong, "I'm still your biological sister!"
Shen Yutong smiled, "You are my sister and he is my brother. I listen to both of you."
Hearing this, Shen Luoyan was slightly stunned.
Shen Yutong approached her second sister, stared at her distracted eyes, and suddenly said:
"Second sister, are you worried?"
Shen Luoyan came back to her senses and shook her head lightly: "What can I have on my mind?"
"Practice hard. I will return to Qingtian Sect in a few days. Daddy doesn't have time to take care of you. I don't know how lazy you will be by then."
Shen Luoyan subconsciously said:
"Then I'll go back to Qingtian Sect with you."
"No!" Shen Luoyan's face instantly became serious: "Yutong, I joined the Qingtian Sect to maintain the relationship between our Shen family and the Qingtian Sect."
"If you stay in the Qingtian Sect for a long time, it will not be a good thing for our Shen family. If one day our Shen family and the Qingtian Sect fall out, you will be in danger."
Shen Yutong looked confused:
"But sister, why do our Shen family fall out with the Qingtian Sect?"
Shen Luoyan shook his head, "I'm just saying it in case."
Shen Yutong became even more confused: "Why is there such a possibility?"
"Stop asking, go practice!" After Shen Luoyan said this, he turned around and walked into the bamboo building.
Shen Yutong shouted to the building:
"Then I won't go to Qingtian Sect with you. I'll go with Brother Xiao!"
"No!" Shen Luoyan opened the window on the second floor with a stern look on her face: "Shen Yutong, I tell you, you are not allowed to go anywhere except staying at the Shen family!"
"Why!" Shen Yutong pouted and said angrily:
"Second sister, I am no longer the same person as before!"
"Now that my illness is cured, I can also travel around. I can also do things for our Shen family like you, second sister."
"Otherwise, you tell Qingtian Sect that when you come back, I will stay in Qingtian Sect for you!"
Shen Yutong said a lot of "ba la bala", but got no response from Shen Luoyan.
She angrily picked up the sword, picked up the tea leaves on the table, and ran towards her residence.
When she got closer, she saw a black figure changing shape in the bamboo forest, with a sword in his hand that was threatening.
It seemed that the entire bamboo forest was filled with the sharp sword energy.
"Wow, Brother Xiao is so powerful," Shen Yutong couldn't help but muttered, and then looked at the sword in his hand.
She placed the tea leaves on the ground, then leaned forward and approached. When the distance was close, she rushed forward and thrust out the sword in her hand:
"Look at the sword!"
Xiao Zhan had already seen Shen Yutong.
Seeing that she wanted to compete with him, Xiao Zhan quickly gathered some real energy and waved the Dawn Sword in his hand to fight with Shen Yutong.
But no matter in terms of speed, strength, or strength of true energy, Shen Yutong was far behind Xiao Zhan.
What's more, the Dawn Sword in Xiao Zhan's hand is a peerless sword that combines the Spring and Autumn Sword, the Red Dragon Sword, and the Aohan Sword.
In just a few moves, the sword in Shen Yutong's hand was cut into several pieces.
"No fight, no fight, Brother Xiao, you won't even let me."
Xiao Zhan inserted the Dawn Sword into the scabbard and looked at Shen Yutong with a frown:
"You just went back, what are you doing here now?"
Shen Yutong's eyes turned red, "My sister and I had a fight."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm', "It's normal for two sisters to quarrel."
"No, it's not normal at all. My sister has never quarreled with me!" Shen Yutong said aggrievedly: "I just said I wanted to go out and have a life, but she was mean to me."
Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "Go out to wander, what are you wandering around for?"
Shen Yutong's eyes were full of longing, "I heard that ordinary martial arts practitioners have to work hard to earn resources."
"I also want to rely on my own efforts to earn enough True Essence Stones so that I can have a good experience."
Xiao Zhan was speechless.
"Brother Xiao," Shen Yutong suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously and said:
"Why don't you take me back to Huangzhou when you leave?"
"I also want to go to your Yanlong Kingdom. I want to take a car, I want to fly, I also want to eat hot pot and Malatang, and I also want to wear the beautiful clothes of Yanlong Kingdom."
Seeing Shen Yutong's eyes full of longing, Xiao Zhan suddenly fell silent.
"Shen Yutong, some things are not as simple as you think."
"As far as you're concerned, you're just going to have fun."
"But have you ever thought about what your father would think if you went to Huangzhou?"
"Does he think that I kidnapped you in order to make the Shen family my allies?"
"Have you ever thought that this might bring disaster to Yanlong City?"
After hearing Xiao Zhan's words and seeing Xiao Zhan's serious expression, Shen Yutong spoke hesitantly:
"Brother Xiao, is... is it that serious?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said in a deep voice:
"You still have a lot to learn. Not only do you need to practice to improve your strength, there are also many principles to learn."
"And staying in the Shen family is your most correct choice."
"In addition, no matter who you are in front of in the future, I will not allow you to mention Huangzhou, Yanlong Kingdom and Yanlong City!"
Seeing the stern look in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Shen Yutong nodded quickly, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I haven't talked about those things with anyone."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Go back to your sister and talk to her if you have anything to say."
Shen Yutong lowered his head, turned around and left slowly.
After walking a few steps, she squatted down and picked up the tea can, ran to Xiao Zhan and said:
"Brother Xiao, here are some tea leaves for you."
Xiao Zhan nodded and thanked: "Thank you very much."
After Shen Yutong left, Xiao Zhan held tea leaves and prepared to enter the house.
But a voice came from the top of the bamboo forest:
"It turns out to be you."
Xiao Zhan frowned and looked up to see a figure falling slowly.
"Senior Shen," Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and saluted, "Fairy Luo Yan said that senior is in retreat."
Shen Liangcheng nodded: "I was in retreat. I heard you were coming, so I temporarily left the retreat."
"Little friend, is this the third time we have met?"
Xiao Zhan looked at Shen Liangcheng in front of him.
Although I don't know how old he is, he looks like a handsome man in his thirties or forties.
"Last time I met you, I asked you if you had ever met Luo Yan, and you lied and said you didn't know."
"But you still remind me to go back to Shen's house and have a look."
"Remember, little friend?" Shen Liangcheng had a warm smile on his face. As he spoke, he looked at the tea can in Xiao Zhan's arms.
He was stunned, "Isn't this my Yunwu tea?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Miss Yutong just gave it to me."
Shen Liangcheng was immediately embarrassed and could only smile and said:
"Can you make tea?"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
After a while, Xiao Zhan brought out the brewed tea and placed it on the bamboo table, then sat down opposite Shen Liangcheng.
Shen Liangcheng picked up the tea cup, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt refreshed.
"Luo Yan told me that she and Yutong met a mysterious senior on their way back to Shen's house, and it was that senior who saved Yutong."
"When Luo Yan came to me just now, he said that the senior who saved Yutong was your master."
Xiao Zhan said nothing, with a smile on his face.
"Actually, I don't care about your identity, so you don't need to tell me," Shen Liangcheng nodded, took a sip of tea and said:
"But you are kind to my Shen family. If you need help, just say it and I will definitely agree if I can."
Xiao Zhan didn't sell it, he got straight to the point:
"When I come to visit my senior this time, I really have something to discuss with him."
Noticing the words used by Xiao Zhan, Shen Liangcheng's expression became more serious.
Because Xiao Zhan used 'discuss' instead of 'ask for help'.
Just listen to Xiao Zhan slowly say:
"Seniors should know that Qingzhou's situation has changed drastically."
"The Famous Sword Sect was defeated and the Beast Control Sect suffered heavy losses. If I guess correctly, the Qingtian Sect will join forces with the Wangshan Sect and Feihua Sect to attack the Beast Control Sect next."
Shen Liangchen didn't change his expression at all, and just asked: "What's the reason?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Because the Qingtian Sect's development strategy is to unify the Lingnan region first, and then slowly control the entire Qingzhou."
"In attacking the Famous Sword Sect, the Qingtian Sect has gained huge benefits."
"After tasting the sweetness, they will naturally target other forces. The Beast Control Sect suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Fantasy Sword Sect, and also lost many disciples in the battle against the Famous Sword Sect."
"So, attacking the Beast Control Gate is the easiest to succeed."
Shen Liangcheng slowly shook his head, "This is just a guess."
