Shen Qing's words made the old man angry. He was the guardian of the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion and the confidant of the Great Elder. He had a high prestige in the Shen Family. Many of the Shen Family's disciples who came here to exchange for secret manuals were polite to him. He didn't expect that a maid dared to talk back to him in public.
This old man's name was Shen Wansan. He was also given the surname Shen Family. Generally, people who had a certain status in the Shen Family would be given the surname Shen. This meant that they would be collateral relatives of the Shen Family.
Just like the Great Elder and the others, they were the collateral relatives of the Shen Family. Although they couldn't sit in the position of the head of the Shen Family, they could definitely sit at the top of the management.
Every family needed these people. A family that was complacent wouldn't last long.
Unless it was a top family with excellent bloodline and strong warriors in every generation, they didn't need these guests.
"You have a sharp tongue. As a maid, you should act like one. You don't know your status. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Shenlang." Shen Wansan snorted and waved his hand to hit Shen Qing.
Shen Qing only knew a little martial arts and didn't have much internal strength. How could she be the opponent of a warrior in the Acquired Realm like Shen Wansan? She could only raise her arm to block.
"Pa!"
A slap sounded.
A bloody handprint appeared on Shen Qing's cheek.
Many people had already gathered around. Most of them were the young disciples of the Shen Family. When they saw Shen Wansan teaching Shen Qing a lesson, they all gloated. Shenlang was now in the limelight in the Shen Family. Many people felt it was unfair.
In this world, there was no love without a reason, but there was definitely hatred without a reason. Your identity, your background, and your talent could all become a person's hatred.
Tears welled up in Shen Qing's beautiful eyes. Although she was a servant girl, she was still a young girl who had just reached the prime of her youth. She had been by Shen Lang's side since birth and Shen Lang had never treated her as a servant girl. He had always treated her like his own younger sister. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Shen Qing glanced at the members of the Shen Family, who all had different expressions on their faces. She choked with sobs and covered her face as she left.
Shen Wansan looked at the departing figure of Shen Qing and a smug look appeared on his face. He had finally helped Young Master Shen Ming vent his anger. As for the matter of beating Shen Qing, he did not take it to heart. She was just a maidservant. Even if Shenlang came, the Great Elder would be there to back him up. Could it be that Shenlang would fall out with the Great Elder because of a maidservant?
Shen Wuhui and Shen Wuming were already at odds with each other. If Shenlang offended the Great Elder, let's see how Shen Wuming and his son would be treated in the Shen Family in the future.
…
In the room, Shenlang frowned and said, "This girl. I asked her to get some information. Why did she take so long?"
Shenlang and the others were anxiously waiting for Chang Qingzi's information. They wanted to see if they could find any clues to the next map. This way, they would be able to take the initiative. If they could obtain Chang Qingzi's cultivation experience, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for Shenlang and the others.
Shenlang did not lack cultivation techniques or resources. The only thing he lacked was the cultivation experience. With the cultivation experience, Shenlang and the others would be able to improve greatly in a short period of time.
At this moment, a sobbing sound came from the courtyard.
Shenlang's expression changed. He quickly got up and opened the door to take a look.
He saw Shen Qing sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard with her back facing Shenlang. She was crying softly.
With a slight movement of his feet, a slight breeze blew past. Shenlang had already arrived beside Shen Qing. He said gently, "What's wrong? Qing 'er. "
Shen Qing quickly wiped her red and swollen eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing, Young Master. I'm so useless. I didn't even bring the information back."
After saying that, Shen Qing seemed to feel wronged again. In an instant, tears flowed down unconsciously.
At this moment, Shenlang also saw the red and swollen cheeks of Shen Qing. His expression changed abruptly. He immediately shouted, "Qing 'er, what's wrong with your face? Who hit you? "
When Shen Qing heard Shenlang's words, she felt even more wronged. Tears flowed down unconsciously. She told him what had happened intermittently.
After hearing that, Shenlang's expression turned cold. This Shen Wansan was courting death. Not to mention a small steward like him, even that old man Shen Wen was nothing in Shenlang's eyes. It seemed that his low profile had made some people think that he was a sick cat.
"Gao Jianli, follow me."
Shenlang shouted angrily. His murderous aura soared to the sky. Shen Qing, who was in front of him, felt a bone-piercing chill.
Gao Jianli had already heard Shen Qing's words. He didn't have any emotional fluctuations. Everything depended on Shenlang. Not to mention that Shen Qing had been hit for no reason, even if Shen Qing hadn't been hit, he wouldn't have frowned if Shenlang ordered him to slaughter the entire Jiangcheng.
Shen Qing had the mentality of a young girl. Of course, she was happy that Shenlang was going to take revenge for her. She immediately ran into the room and carried Shenlang's weapon box out.
Looking at Shen Qing's appearance, Shenlang's mouth curved. Shen Qing's character was exactly what Shenlang needed. After coming to this world, it was either mutual deception or murderous intent. Shen Qing's naivety made Shenlang's frozen emotions fluctuate a little.
Of course, this feeling wasn't love or friendship. It was a kind of human kindness that humans should have.
Shenlang's group of five came to the entrance of the Scripture Depository.
At this time, the people in front of the Scripture Depository hadn't left yet.
After all, they didn't believe that Shenlang would remain indifferent when Shen Qing was beaten up. If that was really the case, Shenlang's reputation would plummet. He would even become a laughing stock.
Shen Wansan had also made preparations. Since Shenlang was here, he would invite the Great Elder. He wanted to see if Shenlang dared to offend the Great Elder. As for his own safety, he wasn't too worried.
Could it be that Shenlang would kill him for a servant girl?
"Look, Shenlang is here. This is going to be a good show. I don't know if Shenlang can still be as domineering as he was last time."
The people in the surroundings had already started to whisper.
It hadn't been long since the disturbance between Shenlang and Shen Wuhui. Some of the people who were present at that time still remembered how domineering Shenlang was. If there was a disagreement, he would fight. Even Shen Wuhui's old servant had died.
This time, Shenlang's servant girl was beaten up. They wanted to see how big of a commotion Shenlang could create.
Of course, there were also people who thought that Shenlang was just all bark and no bite. After all, the Great Elder wasn't Shen Wuhui. Shen Wuhui and Shen Wuming were at odds. This was no longer a secret. It was okay to offend them. On the other hand, the Great Elder and the others were in the middle. If Shenlang made a big fuss, the Great Elder might side with Shen Wuhui.
Shen Wansan had already sent someone to inform the Great Elder. When he saw Shenlang, Shen Wansan said calmly, "Shen Wansan pays his respects to Young Master Shenlang."
"You are Shen Wansan?"
Shenlang looked at Shen Wansan indifferently. It was as if he was looking at a dead man.
Shen Wansan was very uncomfortable with Shenlang's gaze. However, Shenlang was different from Shen Qing. He could be arrogant in front of Shen Qing, but he couldn't point fingers at Shenlang. Otherwise, Shenlang would be labeled as someone who didn't know his place. This wasn't something he could bear.
