"I don't have money. Others bought them for me." Xiao Chen said, "Moreover, I don't have to spend money to explore the ancient ruins. I don't want to spend money!"
"I'm convinced." Clayden sighed. "We didn't get to know each other until we fought. Don't mind it too much. After all, that's how the martial arts world is."
"I know, but you promised me before and gave me all the spiritual jades. Isn't it inappropriate to invite others to cooperate with you?" Xiao Chen was referring to the fact that Clayden had invited him to work together again without knowing that he was the person from before.
"This …" Clayden was a little embarrassed. He looked at Xiao Chen and smiled bitterly. "You should understand that I've never met you before and don't know your strength. Now that I have a better partner, I'm naturally tempted, but I won't do it again in the future."
If it was someone else, Clayden would not have explained so much. How high was he? He was a half-step martial master. Although he had not officially stepped into the martial master level, he was not far from it.
Now, Xiao Chen was about the same level as him. It was probably only a matter of time before Xiao Chen stepped into the martial master level. He was already at Stage Ten Inner Force at such a young age. His future must be limitless.
"I understand." Xiao Chen nodded. "Then we'll meet again? I should go back now. "
"Alright, keep in touch!" Clayden nodded.
Xiao Chen did not say much and left the alley in a flash. However, once he came out, he was at a loss. Tan Jita had already left. He did not even have a car. He did not know where the Shen Family's mansion was!
Previously, when he got off the highway, he drove there under Shen Jingxuan's directions. But if he were to go back from here, he would not be able to go back. When he came here, he wanted to pretend to be polite to Tan Jita, so he did not remember the way.
He had no choice but to turn around and go back. Clayden had not left yet. He was sitting cross-legged while suppressing his injuries. When he saw Xiao Chen return, he was a little puzzled. "Young friend, why are you back?"
"Let me ask you something. You should be the local tyrant of Lan City, right? Tan Jita and the others are afraid of you. Obviously, they know you. You should also know where the Shen Family is, right? "Xiao Chen asked.
"… Yes." The old man nodded.
"Then tell me the approximate location. I'll take a taxi back. Seeing that you're injured, I won't let you lead the way," said Xiao Chen.
"… Take a taxi and tell him that even taxi drivers know about the Shen Family's manor in the suburbs …" The old man was a little speechless as he said, "Not only do people live in the Shen Family's manor, it's also a green produce sales company that wholesale some high-end grains, fruits, and vegetables."
"So that's how it is. Then I'm leaving. Thank you!" Xiao Chen said. No wonder when he went to the Shen Family, he felt that the exterior looked like a company. It turned out that it was really a company.
After stopping a taxi, Xiao Chen found out the address of the Shen Family's manor. Soon, he returned to the Shen Family.
Tan Jita was still there. When he saw Xiao Chen return, he gritted his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing he could do. He put on a fake smile and greeted him. "White Fox, you're back?"
"Yes, I'm back. Are you disappointed?" Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Tan Jita with a faint smile.
"How could I …" Tan Jita was a little embarrassed. "White Fox, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. I won't give up!"
"Up to you." Xiao Chen shook his head.
"By the way, you and … that old man just now, what's your relationship?" Tan Jita asked tentatively.
"Why?" Xiao Chen was slightly moved. "Do you know him?"
"Of course, I'm asking you!" Tan Jita said.
"Oh, just a good friend," Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Impossible!" Tan Jita immediately denied. Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. You don't have to pretend since you don't know each other. The Zheng and Ma families have suffered such a big loss this time. They won't give up easily. I advise you to leave Lan City as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to predict …"
"Thank you for the reminder." Xiao Chen said. "Alright, I don't have time to waste with you. I'm going back to my room to rest!"
"You …" Tan Jita clenched his fists. He hesitated for a moment and quickly walked to Shen Zhengquan's room. He had to take some measures. If one move didn't work, he still had a backup plan.
Xiao Chen returned to his room. After thinking for a while, he decided to inform Shen Jingxuan. Otherwise, she would be worried about him. However, when he knocked on the door, Xiao Chen was surprised to find that Shen Jingxuan and her family were not there.
Perhaps they went to see Old Master Shen? Xiao Chen could only go back to his room to consolidate his strength. He used White Fox's phone number to send a message to Shen Jingxuan, telling her that he had returned safely.
In Shen Zhengquan's room in the siheyuan, Tan Muwei was also sitting on the sofa. She looked at Tan Jita who was chattering away. When he finally finished, she said, "I didn't expect this White Fox to be a martial artist above Stage Eight Inner Force. He's quite capable. What do you think, Zhengquan? What can we do? "
"Actually, there is a way. It's just that the old man hasn't closed his eyes yet. I can't enforce the authority of the Shen Family's master!" Shen Zhengquan said.
"Why isn't this old thing dead yet? Didn't my dad drug him?" Tan Jita said gloomily.
"Jita, don't talk nonsense!" Tan Muwei immediately stopped him.
However, Tan Jita didn't care. "Anyway, no one here can hear it. It doesn't matter."
"Oh, about your second grandpa …" Tan Muwei looked at Shen Zhengquan and asked.
"Well, my second grandpa doesn't care much about the Shen Family. I told him, but he didn't say that he would support me, nor did he say that he wouldn't support me." Shen Zhengquan was a little helpless. "It seems that the Shen Family's affairs have nothing to do with him."
"Oh, today I …" Tan Jita suddenly thought of something. He told Shen Zhengquan about the tense scene at the entrance of the antique market and how Xiao Chen was taken away by the old man.
"Oh? Is that true? "Shen Zhengquan couldn't help but frown after hearing it.
"Yes!" Tan Jita nodded. "Zheng Chenghu and Ma Jinhan were there, and their father …"
"What's their relationship?" Shen Zhengquan thought for a moment and asked.
"I don't think so. I don't seem to know the white fox. I don't even know its name," Tan Jita said.
"That's good. But we really can't delay this matter. The white fox is the one who is hindering you. But if you can do something that will convince the Shen Family, I will have a reason to betroth Shen Jingxuan to you!" Shen Zhengquan said, "Now, let's split up. Invite Zheng Zhiba and Ma Jinhan here. I will discuss with them how to deal with the white fox. As for you, find a way to invite Medicine Master Ji. As long as you contribute to the Shen Family, I will forcefully betroth Shen Jingxuan to you during the family meeting. No one can say anything! Because of your grandfather's affairs, the Shen Family will hold a family meeting soon! "
"Okay, I understand. I will call them now and then contact Medicine Master Ji!" Tan Jita nodded and turned around to handle the matter.
And at this moment, Shen Jingxuan's family was really in Shen Shanhe's room. Shen Zhenghao finally came to Shen Shanhe's room after being summoned by Shen Shanhe. This was the first time he saw Shen Shanhe after returning home. Shen Zhenghao was not allowed to enter before.
"Father!" Although Shen Zhenghao was a bit selfish, he was much kinder than Shen Zhengquan and the others. At least he would not kill Shen Shanhe.
"Zhenghao, you're here." Shen Shanhe nodded to him. "Jingmao, Jingxuan, you're here too. Sit!"
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Shen Jingxuan asked worriedly.
"Didn't you find a medicine master for Grandpa? He might think of a way. You don't have to worry too much. "Shen Shanhe smiled. It was obvious that he had already accepted it.
"Dad, your illness …" Shen Zhenghao wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that his father would think that he was slandering them. So he didn't know whether he should say it or not. His father's impression of him was not very good. If he said it, would his father believe it?
Looking at Shen Zhenghao, who had something to say but did not know how to start, Shen Shanhe smiled. "I know what you want to say. My friend, the White Fox, should have told you. That's right, I was poisoned, but … it's hard to say who poisoned me …"
"Dad, you know? Who else could it be? It must be Big Brother and Second Brother! "Shen Zhenghao said angrily.
"Zhenghao, don't talk nonsense without evidence. Mind your own business. This time, I called you here to let you look at the situation. If it doesn't work, take Jingxuan and Jingmao away from the Shen Family. This is a good thing for you. Otherwise, if you stay here and get ostracized, it may cause more trouble." Shen Shanhe said, "Since I'm sick, my control over the Shen Family has obviously declined. They don't listen to me anymore …"
Shen Zhenghao was a little silent. Shen Shanhe's words were very clear. Now that Shen Zhengquan was in power, even he couldn't give orders. In other words, the competition for the position of the third generation young master had become impossible.
"Well, I'm tired. You go back. I've said what I need to say. If you stay here for a long time, Zhengquan and the others will be suspicious." Shen Shanhe sighed and waved his hand. He was a little disheartened.
Shen Zhenghao nodded and stood up silently. He said, "Dad, then you have a good rest. I'll leave first!"
With that, he left the room with Shen Jingxuan and Shen Jingmao. In this situation, he really didn't know what to say.
On the way back, Shen Jingmao couldn't help but say, "Dad, actually, Brother White Fox should have a way. You don't have to worry too much. At worst, I won't compete for the position of young master. We'll go back to Songning and establish our own family …"
"That's the only way. I'm just a little unwilling. After so many years of hard work, it was destroyed by these crazy people!" Shen Zhenghao returned to the villa and sat there, feeling a little depressed.
