The girl Huaichun pays great attention to Shen Qingshu's every word, every move.
In the courtyard of the Li family, senior sister Yin Li was not sociable and would not leave the room when she returned to the guest room. At this moment, under Li Lianshan's deliberate arrangement, there were only two people in this beautiful garden, Shen Qingshu and Li Yuxiu.
The attentive Li Yuxiu could see that Cao An had been unhappy since he rejected his senior brother.
"Senior brother, is Master Yan really that important?"
"Actually, Xiu'er, as long as you stay in the sect for a few more days, you will understand that the intimidation and power of an outstanding and outstanding Yanshi can even be compared to that of a sect."
Li Yuxiu was stunned, "How is this possible?"
"You should have heard of the Dahe Sect. Back then, the Dahe Sect and our Baiyun Sect were the two overlords of Canglan Prefecture. However, because they offended a fifth-level Yanshi, the entire sect was destroyed overnight."
"But, doesn't our Baiyun Sect have a great master of the sixth level of martial arts? The Dahe Sect can be on par with us, and there must be some who think about it. A fifth-level Yanshi, even if his own martial arts strength corresponds to it, is nothing more than The fifth scene master..."
Shen Qing wrote with fear, "How could I lie to you? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't imagine that situation. Tens of thousands of puppets are like a tide of beasts, swarming up the Dahe Sect in a black mass. You know, those are all It is a puppet made by a fifth-level Yanshi that is comparable to a master of the fifth scene, how can the Dahe Sect resist it?"
"Puppets are not afraid of life and death. As long as the core is not completely destroyed, they can continue to fight until they are wiped out. The leader of the Dahe Sect was besieged by the puppets until he died of exhaustion."
Li Yuxiu is not a fool. After hearing what he said, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy of that battle.
Shen Qingshu changed his mind and said, "Of course, not all Yanshi can become that kind of existence. Just like us pure warriors, some can become the overlord of the sect, while some can only stay in one or two scenes for the rest of their lives. Not much better than ordinary people.”
"Would it be beneficial to the senior brother if he could be made his slave?"
Shen Qingshu smiled proudly, "It's just the icing on the cake. After all, having a Yanshi as a slave is a symbol of identity and status, just like a sword paired with a hero."
Li Yuxiu looked cheerful, "I don't care about that, as long as I know that this is good for Senior Brother, this puppet is for you, Senior Brother, and leave the rest to me. When we leave Qianye Town, I will make him willing to become The servant of the elder brother."
Li Yuxiu was very confident about this matter, because Cao An had never rejected her. She believed that as long as she opened her mouth, this matter would develop as it should and follow her own will.
Shen Qingshu showed a strange smile: "Does he like you?"
Li Yuxiu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she waved her hands repeatedly, trying to explain clearly in a panic. "Elder brother, I don't mean anything to him at all. It's just his own passion. I..."
"I know that the ignorant are fearless, but they are just ordinary people with a little arrogance. When he becomes my slave and enters the Baiyun Sect, he will understand the gap between him and you and me. By then, he will Respect us as gods and don’t dare to think any more.”
Li Yuxiu nodded heavily, with a slight blush on his face, "I understand."
Shen Qingshu stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Yuxiu's head, "You can always help me when I need it."
These words completely devastated the girl in front of her.
"But Yuxiu has helped me so much, so I don't want this puppet brother anymore. You can keep it yourself, and after you shed blood to identify the owner, put it in the small bag you carry with you. It may be life-saving at a critical moment."
Shen Qingshu looked down upon this puppet. Although he could not tell the level of the puppet, looking at the name of the puppet, he did not know it at all. He expected that it was not a powerful puppet. The number was so small that it was useless.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, please wait for my good news." After saying that, Li Yuxiu walked out of the courtyard with a face full of joy.
Shortly after Li Yuxiu left, Li Lianshan came to Shen Qingshu.
"Lianshan has met the young master."
Shen Qingshu's expression became serious and he put away his previous expression, "How did you do what you were asked to do?"
"How dare Lianshan neglect the tasks assigned by the young master? The blood scale fruit will mature soon, within a day or two."
After saying that, Li Lianshan was hesitant to speak. He looked at Shen Qingshu in front of him and said bravely: "There is something you need to know, sir. The blood scale fruit has a natural attraction to monsters, and Qianye Town is right next to it." At Heifeng Ridge, some time ago, the guard team discovered that the monsters in Heifeng Ridge were ready to move, and Lian Shan was worried that when the blood scale fruit matures, it will trigger a tide of beasts."
Shen Qingshu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't need to worry about this matter. After all, we are still in the imperial dynasty, and the scale of the beast wave caused will not be too large. The guards and people in the Yamen can handle it. Even if they can't handle it, they only need to survive for two days. At that time, my junior sister and I will lend you a helping hand and we can wipe out the beast tide with just one hand."
After getting the answer he wanted, most of the sadness on Li Lianshan's face disappeared.
"Lianshan thanks the young master for the residents of Qianye Town."
"Okay, take me there."
Li Lianshan took the lead, "Sir, please!"
Yin Li, who was supposed to stay in the room, was now following closely behind the two of them. Looking at it like this, he didn't look like a senior brother or sister at all, but rather like a retainer or bodyguard.
Li Yuxiu always thought that it was because of his extraordinary talent that he was accepted by the elders of the Baiyun Sect. However, he did not know that from beginning to end, this was just a deal between his father and Shen Qingshu. Li Lianshan guarded and nourished the blood scales for Shen Qingshu. As a result, in return, Li Yuxiu can become a disciple of Baiyun Sect.
As for the relationship between his daughter and this young master, Li Lianshan never cared about it, it was just a daughter. All he wanted was the identity of 'the father of the disciples of Baiyun Sect'. In just a few years, relying on this identity, the Li family's development had already broken through the shackles. , completely established a foothold in Fucheng.
The switch to the secret room was in the study. The three of them walked down the stone steps. As the firelight flickered, a pungent smell of blood hit their faces.
The ground was covered with bones, no fewer than a hundred, and in the middle of the secret room hall, between a pool of living water, stood an emerald-green stem with no leaves. Above the stem was a blood-red fruit the size of a thumb. , its skin is covered with scales, and its blood-red color is about to be covered with the last fruit tips.
Shen Qingshu greedily sniffed the aroma emanating from the fruit. It was an aroma that could not be concealed by the pungent smell of blood.
"Okay! Very good!! Li Lianshan, you did a good job!"
"It should be the opportunity, young master. Lianshan just did something trivial."
"Okay, you can go out. Remember, no matter what, you have to withstand the beast tide for two days. By then, I will give you whatever you want."
After receiving Shen Qingshu's affirmative answer, Li Lianshan beamed with joy, "Thank you, Master!"
After Li Lianshan left, the door to the secret room closed, and only Shen Qingshu and Yin Li were left here.
The woman said with a cold face, "Is this the so-called opportunity you told me? The opportunity that hundreds of lives were bought for you? Feeding the ripening blood scale fruit with blood food?"
Shen Qingshu spread his hands, "Is there a problem? I just gave the blood scale fruit to Li Lianshan to cultivate. This ripening method was just leaked to Li Lianshan unintentionally. He is a very impatient person, so he used this method to ripen it. Blood Scale Fruit, what can I do? What does what Li Lianshan did have to do with me?"
"When the blood food is mature, the evil nature of the blood scale fruit will be far beyond the normal maturity, and it will be more attractive to monsters. You should think about how to deal with this level of monsters." The woman held the sword and walked straight to the side to sit down. Close your eyes and rest your mind.
"You can't do anything, just run away." Shen Qingshu didn't care at all, his eyes always stayed on the blood scale fruit.
Yin Li opened his eyes suddenly, "You plan to use the power of the beast tide to silence them? This is a town with more than 20,000 people!!"
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be stopped without human power."
Yin Li stood up, sat back, and simply stopped opening his eyes, "If I hadn't owed you such great kindness from the Great Elder, I would have really wanted to kill you with one sword."
Shen Qingshu's expression was as usual, "You and I are the same kind of people, so why should we be pretentious? There is no third person here, who do you show it to? If you really care about the lives of these ordinary people, no matter how great the kindness is, you can cut it off with one sword. "
Yin Li didn't speak. She wanted to refute, but she found that all her excuses and reasons seemed a little pale in front of the facts.
Shen Qingshu continued: "This is the best result, isn't it? Whether it's for you, me, or the Baiyun Sect! It counts with one stone."
Although Shen Qingshu is a bit special in the sect, he is not the only one who is special. Once enough interests are involved, the internal competition is always cruel and fierce. A natural treasure like the Blood Scale Fruit is enough. Benefit' one.
Back then, Shen Qingshu practiced in Black Wind Ridge and obtained this thing, but it was still nearly fifty years away from maturity. He could only choose to take it out of Black Wind Ridge and choose a secret place to cultivate it, because once it was brought back to the sect, it would Not to mention that after a long period of maturity, his role in martial arts will be greatly reduced. Even if it is not discounted, it may not be his turn.
Instead of taking it back and risking a big loss in the future, it was better to keep it outside and refine it quietly. So after sacrificing a protector, he brought the Blood Scale Fruit to Qianye Town and chose the Li family.
Only then did Li Yuxiu become a disciple of the Baiyun Sect, and the Li family developed from a small town rich farmer to a top wealthy businessman in Canglan Prefecture.
And all of this will come to a complete end in two days!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu's heart became more and more heated.
"By the way, we haven't started yet, please do one more thing for me."
"What's the matter? You should know that I only promised the Great Elder to protect you once."
Shen Qingshu shook his head, "It's not a big deal. You should still remember that Yanshi during the day. I asked Li Yuxiu to help me as a lobbyist, but based on what I saw during the day, that person would probably not agree. If Li Yuxiu succeeds, let's talk about it later. If you can’t do it, just kill him.”
There was a sarcastic look on Yin Li's lips, "Everyone in the sect says that you, Senior Brother Shen, are narrow-minded and will retaliate for your anger. It seems that what you said is true. Is such a small person worth keeping in your heart?"
"He is a Yanshi after all. I don't want to leave any hidden dangers. It is impossible for ordinary people to survive the beast tide, but Yanshi may not be able to survive."
…
But on the other side, Li Yuxiu, who was equally warm in her heart and was "approved" by Shen Qingshu, and whose heart was as sweet as honey, came to Cao's Shifang.
Looking at the somewhat messy and shabby shop floor, I couldn't help but frown, lightly lifted my skirt, and walked in!
"Cao An!!"
