"Okay, I'm tired. I'm going to rest. You guys can leave now." Shen Shanhe gasped for breath. He looked tired and closed his eyes. Obviously, he was disappointed with the children of the Shen Family.
Although he was sick, he wasn't confused. He was clear about the little tricks that Tan Muwei and Tan Muyou used, but their reasons were high-sounding, so he couldn't say anything.
Moreover, he didn't want to die, but he had no choice. However, if he had to sacrifice the happiness of the younger generation, he would rather not do it. He was a selfless person. For the sake of the Shen Family, he could give up a lot.
The current situation was a little out of control. Every day, the fight between the first branch and the second branch exhausted him mentally and physically. Now, Shen Jingxuan was involved. Shen Shanhe was really a little tired.
The people in the room left the room, went downstairs, and returned to the living room again. At this time, the atmosphere was a little silent.
"Zhenghao, think about what I said before." Shen Zhengquan said to Shen Zhenghao directly. She didn't put Xiao Chen in her eyes at all. She directly treated him as air, "For the sake of the Shen Family, this marriage is good for both you and me. I can guarantee that if you agree, your branch will stay in the Shen Family, and you will be responsible for the Shen Family's affairs!"
Shen Zhengquan's condition made Shen Zhenghao slightly stunned. However, he had seen the power of White Fox. At this moment, although he didn't know why White Fox had been enduring, he couldn't agree to Shen Zhengquan's condition.
Moreover, his ambition wasn't small. He wanted Shen Jingmao to be the next leader. He wasn't satisfied with just staying in the Shen Family. If that happened, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"There's nothing to think about. I respect Jingxuan's decision." Shen Zhenghao said coldly. His words surprised Xiao Chen. Shen Zhenghao shouldn't be such a loyal person, but he probably saw that Xiao Chen was much stronger than Tan Jita.
However, he couldn't say anything in this situation. After all, no one would believe him if he boasted about how awesome the White Fox was.
Shen Zhenghao left the villa with Shen Jingxuan, Shen Jingmao, and Xiao Chen. Shen Zhengquan looked at their backs, and a trace of gloom flashed across his eyes. Although he was the acting family head now, his words didn't have any effect, which made him very angry.
"Uncle-in-law …" Tan Jita looked at Shen Jingxuan's back as he left, and a greedy look flashed across his eyes. "This matter …"
"It doesn't matter. You can pursue him normally. As for that white fox, if you can't do it, use some tricks to kill him. As long as he's dead, everything will be easy." Shen Zhengquan did not put Xiao Chen in her eyes at all.
"I understand," Tan Jita said with a sinister smile.
Shen Jingxuan and the others returned to their villa, while Xiao Chen returned to his guest room. After returning, there was nothing else to do, so he began to brew the medicinal liquid. Xiao Chen was used to brewing the medicinal liquid at night, and the Devil Centipede Fruit just happened to be effective.
Who knew that just as he finished brewing the electric clay pot, the doorbell would ring. Xiao Chen thought that it was the Shen Family's servant who came to deliver dinner, but when he opened the door, it wasn't. There was nothing in the person's hands.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Chen asked in puzzlement.
"Mr. White Fox?" The Shen Family disciple at the door said, "Old Master Shen asked me to look for you alone. I'm his servant."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Shen Shanhe is looking for me? Didn't he just see me? Therefore, Xiao Chen looked at the person at the door suspiciously. Is he Shen Shanhe's servant? Could it be that Shen Zhengquan or Tan Jita found someone to trick me out and then harm me?
However, after thinking about it, Xiao Chen did not mind it. His current strength was already considered at the peak of cultivators. If Shen Zhengquan and Tan Jita wanted to harm him, he could just kill them. That way, no one would know.
"Now?" asked Xiao Chen.
"Yes, Old Master said that if you have time, you can go over. He has something to tell you," said the Shen Family disciple.
"Alright, please lead the way," Xiao Chen said straightforwardly.
The Shen Family disciple nodded and walked in front. Xiao Chen followed behind him. In the end, they really came to the previous villa again, which surprised Xiao Chen. After entering the villa, they went upstairs smoothly. They didn't expect to be besieged by Shen Zhengquan and Tan Jita. They stopped at the door of Shen Shanhe's room, where Xiao Chen had just left.
The Shen Family disciple knocked on the door, and Shen Shanhe's tired voice came from inside, "Is it White Fox, my friend? Please come in! "
"Mr. White Fox, please! I won't go in. "The Shen Family disciple made a gesture and said.
Xiao Chen pushed the door and saw Shen Shanhe lying on the bed alone. When he saw Xiao Chen come in, he forced a smile and said, "White Fox, do whatever you want."
"Okay!" Xiao Chen sat casually in front of Shen Shanhe's bed and asked curiously, "Grandpa Shen, why did you ask me to come here again?"
"I believe that you should have seen my problem during the day, but you didn't say it." Shen Shanhe said, "My problem, actually, I know. It's incurable."
"That's not necessarily true, Grandpa Shen. I will think of a way." Xiao Chen didn't quite understand the meaning of Shen Shanhe's words, but he still comforted him.
"You don't have to persuade me. In fact, from your expression, I can see that you really know medicine." Shen Shanhe said, "It's just that my body is not sick …"
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, but it seemed that although Shen Shanhe was sick, he was not stupid. His mind was still clear. He nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Shen, you are poisoned."
"The poison is in my injured part, and it can't be resolved." Shen Shanhe sighed and said, "If I leave, I don't know what will become of the Shen Family. I don't want to find out who poisoned me. It's just a few people …"
"So Grandpa Shen knows, then I won't say more." Xiao Chen was very surprised that Shen Shanhe seemed to know everything.
"The prosperity of the Shen Family relies on unity, but the second generation of the Shen Family is like this. I saw it before, so I didn't choose the successor of the young master from them. I planned to choose directly from the third generation." Shen Shanhe said, "But, I didn't expect that I would be tricked. I really can't rest assured where the Shen Family will go in the future …"
Xiao Chen nodded. Big families also had their sorrows. Families like the Xiao Family were already like this, not to mention a Real Martial Arts Family like the Shen Family.
"So, the only way the Shen Family can maintain its current status is to rely on marriage. Otherwise, with Zheng Quan's ability, the Shen Family will soon decline …" Shen Shanhe said, "He can't be the master!"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and didn't understand what Shen Shanhe meant.
"Actually, among the children of the third generation, I am more optimistic about Jing Mao …" Shen Shanhe continued, "But I am not optimistic about Zheng Hao. He is a mercenary. I didn't like him since I was a child, but it doesn't affect my love for Jing Mao. So, if Jing Mao wants to be the master, then Jingxuan's marriage will become particularly important … White Fox, do you understand what I mean?"
"You mean, let me leave Jingxuan and let her marry Tan Jita's Tan Family?" asked Xiao Chen.
"Tan Jita? No … "Shen Shanhe smiled and shook his head," I'm talking about you, White Fox! "
"Me?" Xiao Chen thought that Shen Shanhe also wanted to persuade him to separate from Shen Jingxuan, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"I heard about Songning. I've been paying attention to Jing Mao." Shen Shanhe said, "You are young, but you are already a demonic cultivator at the eighth stage of inner strength. Your future is limitless, so I am very relieved that you are with Jingxuan … But, can the Demonic Star Sect fully support Jing Mao's ascension?"
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was really surprised this time. He didn't expect Shen Shanhe to know so much even though he was lying in bed. Judging from the attitude of the Shen Family today, these people didn't know who he was at all. But it was no wonder. Shen Zhenghao and Shen Jingmao were both marginal figures in the Shen Family. Who would pay attention to them? Not to mention paying attention to White Fox.
White Fox's name was only famous in Songning. If the Shen Family didn't care about him, then it was normal that they didn't know. However, Shen Shanhe even knew that he was at the eighth stage of inner strength. Obviously, he paid special attention to him.
One had to know that the eighth stage of inner strength was just broken through when he fought against Leng Youxiang. It was only revealed at the end.
"I don't think the Demonic Star Sect will." Xiao Chen told the truth. He knew his own family well. He had nothing to do with the Demonic Star Sect, so he couldn't lie to Shen Shanhe.
"That's true. How can a sect participate in the battle of the Zhen Wu Family?" Shen Shanhe was a little disappointed, "The eighth stage of inner strength is still a little weak. Zheng Quan is at the eighth stage of inner strength. You guys are only tied. You can't suppress him. If Second Uncle also supports Zheng Quan, then Jing Mao will have no chance at all."
"That Second Uncle doesn't care about family affairs, right? Why would he support Uncle Jingxuan's side? "Xiao Chen asked.
"Although he doesn't care about these things, he doesn't want the Shen Family to have endless infighting. So, letting Zheng Quan take over is the simplest and easiest way. If it's someone else, it won't be legitimate and it'll take a lot of effort. So, of course, if I leave, Zheng Quan will definitely take over." Shen Shanhe sighed, "I guess this unfilial son is aware of this, so he dares to act recklessly. Tan Muyou? Hmph, what a shitty pharmacist. He gave me some bad medicine. Is he trying to make me die? "
"Pfft …" Xiao Chen coughed twice and said, "I'll try my best. As long as you agree to let Jing Mao take over, then I'll have the confidence to stir up trouble in the Shen Family."
"You want to use force?" Shen Shanhe was slightly stunned.
"I can't say force, but I won't let Shen Zhengquan get what he wants." Xiao Chen said, "I just don't know how strong the Second Uncle is."
