With the end of the Grand Competition, Shenlang's performance in the Grand Competition spread in the market square of Jiang City.
Star Pavilion!
Liu Wuqing and Hawking sat opposite each other. Liu Wuqing frowned and said, "The Shenlang you mentioned last time, is he the Shenlang who won first place in the Grand Competition of the Four Clans?"
Hawking nodded solemnly. "It shouldn't be wrong. I've checked. There's only one disciple in the Shen Family named Shenlang. He's Shen Wuming's son, Shenlang."
"It seems that Shenlang is not simple. He used to be unknown, but now he's amazing in the Grand Competition of the Four Clans. I don't know if he's deliberately hiding his strength or if he's had a fortuitous encounter."
Liu Wuqing pondered.
"Pavilion Master, no matter if Shenlang has a fortuitous encounter or is hiding his strength, we have to take action. It's said that Zhao Qi, the Commander of Jiangzhou, has come to Jiang City and is now temporarily staying in Wei Zhang's Castellan Mansion."
"Zhao Qi must have come for Changchun's map. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid there will be changes."
Hawking said.
Liu Wuqing nodded. "Well, it's time to take action. I've already informed the General Pavilion. It's estimated that the General Pavilion will send an elder to help us resist Zhao Qi."
Hawking was shocked. He had killed three Secret Guards of the imperial court last time, so he had been on tenterhooks recently. The terror of the imperial court was clear to him as a top force. Although he had Star Pavilion behind him, if the imperial court was determined to kill him, Star Pavilion might not be able to protect him.
…
Shenlang and the others returned home. Some members of the Shen Family, who had already heard the news, lined up on the street to warmly welcome Shenlang and the others back.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Shen Family, an old man came forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Family Head, for winning the Grand Competition."
Shen Wuming raised his hand and said with a smile, "Elder Lie, please rise."
Shen Lie, the head housekeeper of the Shen Family, came to the Shen Family three years ago. Later, with his Xiantian strength and conscientious diligence, he was appointed as the head housekeeper of the Shen Family by Shen Kun.
When Shenlang was attacked last time, the first old man to rush into the courtyard was Shen Lie.
When Shen Wuming rebelled, Shen Lie had always stood firmly in the camp of Shen Wuming's direct subordinates. Although he did not make a move, he was on guard outside to prevent any fish from escaping the net.
When Shen Lang saw Shen Lie, he nodded his head lightly. He had some impression of Shen Lie. When he was ambushed previously, it seemed like Shen Lie was the one who had led a group of people to rush into the courtyard to protect him.
Shen Lie also saw Shenlang and hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Young Master."
Shenlang nodded indifferently and walked in.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Shen Kun sitting on the main seat with a smile on his face.
When he saw Shen Kun, Shen Wuming cupped his fists and said, "Father, I did not let you down. I won first place in the Family Competition."
Shen Kun had already received the news. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I have heard of your achievements. Since you have won first place in the Family Competition, the rest is up to you."
"Yes, Father, rest assured. I will definitely make the Shen Family the number one family in Rivertown."
Shen Wuming said solemnly.
Shenlang did not stay in the main hall for long. After chatting for a while, he returned to his own courtyard.
Enchanted Moon, who was dressed in white, was sitting quietly beside the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.
Gao Jianli was sitting on the roof, holding a guqin in his hand and playing a tune attentively.
Gao Jianli was a musician in both his previous and current lives. Of course, he was no stranger to music.
Shenlang had not played the guqin for a long time. His interest was immediately aroused. He asked Shen Qing to go into the house and take out his guqin. Then, he flew to another roof and started playing.
Shenlang might not be proficient in music, but because he had the foundation of the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon, playing the guqin was very easy.
A famous song from his previous life appeared in his mind. Then, he played it in his hands.
"The sea laughs, the tide surges on both sides of the shore …"
When Shenlang played the song, even the indifferent Enchanted Moon put down her teacup and listened attentively.
The song "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was definitely a song that would make people obsessed, whether it was in the modern world or in the Zhenwu Continent.
As Shenlang played, more than half of the Shen Family was unknowingly heard. Even Shen Wuming, Shen Kun, and the others in the main hall were listening attentively.
The charm of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was very strong. Some of the less ambitious members of the Shen Family felt like forgetting each other in the Jianghu.
"Who is playing the guqin?"
Shen Kun asked.
"Judging from the direction of the sound, it seems to be coming from the Young Master."
Shen Lie answered.
Thinking of Shenlang's Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon, which was at the peak of the Profound Level, Shen Wuming knew that this song should be played by Shenlang.
Only Shenlang, who knew the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon, could play such a thrilling song.
In a courtyard, Shen Wuhui stood with his hands behind his back, listening to "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" with his eyes closed.
He had been practicing the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon for some time. Because he didn't have the help of the system like Shenlang, his progress was very slow. This time, when he heard Shenlang's "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", he felt his eyes brighten. The things that he couldn't understand suddenly became clear. Unknowingly, Shen Wuhui had broken through to the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. He didn't know whether Shenlang would cry or laugh if he knew.
Of course, even if he knew, Shenlang wouldn't care. Even if Shen Wuhui had broken through to the late stage of the Xiantian Realm, he wouldn't care, let alone the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm.
In Shenlang's courtyard, Shen Qing looked at Shenlang who was on the roof in a daze. She had a strong feeling that she wanted to find a beautiful place with Shenlang and live a carefree life. Shenlang played the zither while she danced in the mountain forest.
Unfortunately, although Shenlang's song made everyone feel like they had forgotten the world, Shenlang's heart didn't change in the slightest. Nothing could affect his state of mind when it came to achieving hegemony.
Thump! As the last note fell, an imposing aura rose from Shenlang's body.
Houtian Stage Nine.
Borrowing this concept, Shenlang actually broke through the Houtian Stage Eight and reached the Houtian Stage Nine.
When the song fell, Enchanted Moon's expression also recovered. Shenlang's song had a magical power, but for a half-step Void Transformation Stage expert like her, her state of mind wouldn't be affected too much.
Quietly comprehending the feeling of breaking through, Shenlang's eyes flashed with a trace of light.
"Congratulations Young Master, your martial arts have greatly improved."
On the roof, Gao Jianli loudly shouted.
Shenlang slowly stood up with the zither in his hand. A boundless domineering aura was emitted. It was quite similar to the demeanor of the Six-fingered Zither Demon.
… …
The night was as dark as ink. Everyone in the Shen Family had entered the land of dreams. Only the occasional patrolling guard walked back and forth in the Shen Family's courtyard.
A black shadow flew in from outside the Shen Family's courtyard.
Afterwards, the black shadow borrowed the moonlight and jumped between the eaves of the Shen Family's courtyard.
The black shadow seemed to be very familiar with the Shen Family. It directly arrived in front of Shenlang's courtyard.
Just as the black shadow jumped onto the roof of Shenlang's courtyard, Gao Jianli and Enchanted Moon, who were sitting cross-legged on their beds cultivating in the other two rooms, simultaneously opened their eyes.
The black shadow squatted down, lifted a tile, and looked down.
Shenlang didn't seem to feel anything. He was still cultivating the Three Parts Origin Returning Qi as usual.
In fact, Shenlang didn't know that there was someone on the roof.
Even if his strength was comparable to a Xiantian Stage expert, his spiritual sense and reaction were still somewhat lacking.
