"This … In fact, I don't know. Before the retreat, I was at the peak of the tenth level …" Shen Shanhe said.
"Is that so …" Xiao Chen was shocked. If he was at the peak of the tenth level, after he consolidated his strength, there was still a possibility of fighting. However, if he broke through to the Martial Master Realm, then there was really nothing he could do.
"You'd better not think about changing my uncle's mind because he is a stubborn person." Shen Shanhe said, "He is very self-centered. It is difficult for others to change what he has decided."
"Okay, I will think of a way …" Xiao Chen nodded, "By the way, if you are cured, then the matters of the Shen Family will not be decided by others, right?"
"In theory, yes, but if Shen Zhengquan's ascension is a foregone conclusion, it will be useless even if I am cured." Shen Shanhe sighed, "Besides, it is impossible for me to be cured. My poison cannot be cured. No one can cure it. In fact, in addition to Tan Muwei, I have also looked for other pharmacists. Don't think that all these years, I am the head of the Shen Family for nothing. I also have my own connections!"
"Understood, then I will go back first." Xiao Chen said.
"If the Devil Star Sect does not intervene, then … you should go back with Jingxuan and leave the Shen Family. Don't get involved in these things. It is not good for you." Shen Shanhe said, "You can set up your own sect in Songning or take them to the Devil Star Sect. In short, don't stay in Lan City. Tan Muwei is narrow-minded. If Jingxuan does not marry Tan Jita, then you will be in danger."
"Hehe, it is not certain who will be in danger." Xiao Chen blinked his eyes and left Shen Shanhe's room.
Xiao Chen left Shen Shanhe's villa and returned to his room. He felt a little emotional. It seemed that Shen Shanhe understood very well. It was just that the situation of the Shen Family was too complicated for him to control.
If he jumped out to question Shen Zhengquan, then he would probably die faster. Shen Zhengquan would definitely kill him. It could be seen that Shen Shanhe didn't want to die just like that. He was worried about the Shen Family.
He knew about the White Fox's background and wanted to use the Devil Star Sect's influence to stabilize the Shen Family. He said that he was optimistic about Shen Jingmao, but he might not really be optimistic about Shen Jingmao. Perhaps at the moment, Shen Jingmao was the only one who did not have ulterior motives.
After all, Shen Jingmao's strength was clear for all to see. He was at Level Five Inner Force, which wasn't low at all. Although he would be considered a young talent in an ordinary family, he was nothing in the Martial Arts Clan.
The medicinal herbs cooked in the electric clay pot were ready. Xiao Chen directly consumed the medicinal herbs and began to train, consolidating his 8th level Qi Refinement Realm strength …
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Xiao Chen let out a long breath. The peak of the 8th level Qi Refinement Realm. Perhaps it was because of the change of medicinal herbs, the first medicinal herb was especially effective. Or perhaps there was still some demonic energy left in his body. In short, Xiao Chen consolidated his strength in one fell swoop and climbed to the peak of the 8th level Qi Refinement Realm, which surprised him.
Wasn't it too fast? It was a little unreal. Moreover, he didn't feel any pain when he took the medicine this time. It was obviously the effect of the Devil Stump Fruit. It was really a good thing.
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, am I very powerful?" Xiao Chen said with some arrogance. "I realized that I'm really a genius!"
"I've never seen such a shameless person. A while ago, your strength stagnated and you sighed. Have you forgotten about it so quickly?" Elder Heaven Ancestor snorted coldly.
"Hehe …" Xiao Chen naturally didn't forget about it. It was just that things had been going smoothly recently, which made him feel a little smug again.
As soon as he finished cultivating, the doorbell rang. Xiao Chen walked over and opened the door. He was a little surprised to see Tan Jita.
"White Fox, how about I take you out for a walk?" Tan Jita said. "The scenery of Lan City is very beautiful. A small place like Songning can't compare."
"You take me out? Are you trying to persuade me to separate from Shen Jingxuan, or find a place to beat me up? "Xiao Chen asked.
"You …" Tan Jita was obviously stunned by Xiao Chen's straightforwardness. His face turned a little red. That was indeed what he was thinking. On the surface, he was asking Xiao Chen to take a walk, but in reality, he was asking him to give up on Shen Jingxuan. If he didn't comply, he would beat him up and let him know how powerful he was.
However, he didn't expect that Xiao Chen would expose him on the spot. Tan Jita's face turned a little ugly and he was in a dilemma.
"Hehe, let's go." Xiao Chen smiled. Even if Tan Jita didn't look for him, he still wanted to end the matter here. Shen Shanhe had made it clear to him, so even if Xiao Chen intervened in the affairs of the Shen Family, it wouldn't be considered a busybody.
"Great!" Tan Jita was stunned and said, "Now, I'm a little impressed by your courage. You're a man! However, you should understand that sometimes courage is useless. The cultivation world pays attention to strength, not courage. No matter how much courage you have, it's useless if you don't have the strength. "
"You mean, you really want to beat me up?" Xiao Chen looked at Tan Jita with a puzzled face. "No way? I was joking before. "
Tan Jita was a little speechless. Damn, it turned out that this guy was joking. He thought he was really brave, but it turned out that he didn't dare to do anything to him. This made Tan Jita feel like he was punching cotton. No matter how arrogant you were, it was useless if the other party didn't know about it.
"No, I'm treating you to some fun," Tan Jita said.
"I knew it. No matter what, I'm a guest of the Shen Family. You're here to accompany me on behalf of the Shen Family, so you can't neglect me." Xiao Chen said, "By the way, I heard that Lan City is rich in antiques. Why don't you show me around and give me two?"
"Antiques?" Tan Jita's expression became a little strange. This white fox was really ignorant and fearless. How dare he ask for something from me? He was a little annoyed. "I'm giving it to you. Do you dare to take it back?"
"Why wouldn't I dare to take something from you, Brother Jita?" Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Aren't you taking me to go shopping? It's fine if we're just going to some scenic area. We're two men, so it's easy for people to misunderstand. "
"Then what do you mean?" Tan Jita was a little mad.
"Nothing. I just won't go if you don't give me an antique." Xiao Chen stopped after he finished speaking.
Tan Jita really wanted to beat up Xiao Chen on the spot. What kind of person was he? Not only did he go back on his words, but he was also shameless enough to ask for something from someone else! However, Tan Jita changed his mind. He was going to teach Xiao Chen a lesson anyway, so it was fine to let him have some fun for the time being. Thus, he said, "Alright, what do you want? I'll give it to you."
"You should've said so earlier. I know that your father is the Chief Apothecary and your family is filthy rich." Xiao Chen patted Tan Jita's shoulder.
Tan Jita sneered in his heart. How dare you pat my shoulder? You're so disrespectful. You're going to cry later!
The two of them went all the way out of the Shen Family's villa area. In the parking lot of the Shen Family's courtyard, a BMW X6M was parked. Tan Jita opened the door, and Xiao Chen got in the car. Tan Jita's mouth flashed a trace of a sneer.
The car started and drove all the way to the city's most high-end antique market. On the way, Tan Jita didn't even bother to talk to Xiao Chen. He originally wanted to persuade Xiao Chen not to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, but this guy looked very arrogant. To deal with such a person, it was to make him afraid. If he was beaten into submission, then everything would be solved.
After parking the car in the parking lot in front of the antique market, Tan Jita got off the car with Xiao Chen. As soon as they got off, two people came over. "Young Master Tan, what a coincidence. How come you have time to visit the antique market? Eh? Who is this beside you? Why is he wearing a mask? Is this the clown you hired? "
"Let me introduce you. This is White Fox. I heard that he is Jingxuan's boyfriend. I brought him here to take a look …" Before Tan Jita could finish, the leader of the two people wearing a black trench coat reached out and pushed Xiao Chen.
"Young Master Tan, who is this? Why is he so arrogant? Isn't Jingxuan the sister-in-law? How did he become her boyfriend? "The man in black was called Zheng Chenghu, one of the Four Young Masters of Lan City.
The Four Young Masters of Lan City, as the name suggested, were made up of four people. The eldest was naturally Shen Jingtian from the Shen Family, the second was Tan Jita, the third was the man in black, Zheng Chenghu, whose father was the Vice President of the Lan City Warrior Guild, and the fourth was Ma Jinhan, whose father was the second shopkeeper of Lan City's Warrior Market. These people all had deep backgrounds.
It could be said that in the martial arts world of Lan City, these four people could call the wind and summon the rain. Today, Zheng Chenghu and Ma Jinhan were secretly invited by Tan Jita to help. The eldest Shen Jingtian would not be able to make an appearance, but it did not matter to the two of them.
"That's right. I've heard of people pretending to be pretentious before, but I've never heard of pretending to be a fox and wearing a mask. Do you think you're Spiderman?" Ma Jinhan sneered sarcastically.
However, Xiao Chen did not pay attention to him. He only flashed away from Zheng Chenghu's hand and said to Tan Jita, "Little Tan, do you know these idiots? Is there something wrong with their brains? "
Tan Jita was a little stunned. Who in Lan City would dare to scold them? However, Xiao Chen had scolded them and even asked him if he knew these two idiots? How was he supposed to answer? Did he know them or not? It didn't seem right …
Zheng Chenghu and Ma Jinhan also widened their eyes. They had received a text message from Tan Jita today. He was here to teach a country bumpkin a lesson and humiliate him. He wanted to let him know the martial arts world and what a true master was!
Therefore, they had always felt that this was a very relaxing and pleasant thing to do. They had done this kind of thing countless times, and their opponents were all scared witless and kowtowed to admit their mistakes. However, this person actually dared to scold them?
Originally, according to the plan, Zheng Chenghu and Ma Jinhan would each humiliate Xiao Chen with a sentence and continuously raise Tan Jita's background. Then, Xiao Chen would retreat in the face of difficulties. If he persisted in going about things the wrong way, then they would show their strength and directly intimidate this country bumpkin from a small place like Songning.
However, to their surprise, before they could even say two and a half sentences, the country bumpkin in front of them turned the tables and directly insulted them as idiots!
