Killing God - Chapter 325
Chapter 325 Girl
Old Madame Xu took a step back, but her footsteps weren’t big, so the young girl was still crying and kneeling at her feet, sobbing and pleading. At this time, Xu Teng, who was beside her, also leaned over with some caution and whispered, “Mother, please take a break from the anger of thunder. My younger sister has married Third Brother for many years. Su Ri is also observing the Dao of women. There is nothing wrong with it.” Just now, he thought that he had suddenly heard the bad news and was enraged, causing his mind to be blurred. Only then did he do such an unwise thing. Please spare her mother once more. “Moreover, Third Brother is still unconscious. If he wakes up and finds out about this, I’m afraid … his face won’t look good either.”
Old Madame Xu snorted coldly. She did not say anything. After that young girl knelt on the ground and pleaded a few times, she saw that although her grandmother did not say anything serious for the time being, her expression was still as grim as ice. Although she looked young, she was extremely intelligent. Normally, she had won the admiration of the elders in the Xu Clan. At this moment, her mother and daughter were very close. She knew that although her grandmother loved her very much, her temperament was always strict. She valued a family style even more, and would never allow anything to ruin the family style.
Earlier, she saw her mother rushing here in anger, Even though he knew that something was going to happen, he desperately tried to stop her, but he was helpless and weak. He couldn’t stop his mother from coming over. As expected, the situation became unbearable. Then, his uncle and grandmother came over one after another. This matter violated his grandmother’s bottom line. The matter finally reached a point where it was impossible to deal with. Even his pleading couldn’t work.
In her anxiety, the beautiful girl’s tears flowed through her snow-white cheeks. However, she suddenly thought of something and suddenly, her eyes flashed. She stood up from under Old Madame Xu’s feet and ran to Shen Shi with a few steps.
Shen Shi was looking at the chaos and disposition in the Xu Clan. He felt extremely embarrassed when he suddenly saw the young girl running towards him. He was also shocked. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly saw the young girl kneeling down to him with a “putong” sound. He cried and said,
‘”Young Master Shen, Big Brother Shen, it was my mother who did something wrong just now, but she was just sad that my father had lost his mind and was not a bad woman. Everything was a misunderstanding. I only hope that you, Big Brother Shen, have a lot of money. Please spare my mother this time.”
As he spoke, tears streaked down his cheeks as he lowered his head and kowtowed.
Shen Shi was shocked. He hurriedly moved aside. Although this girl did not reveal her identity, the few conversations he had just had could tell that she was Xu Xing’s beloved daughter. Naturally, she was also one of the Xu Family’s eldest young misses. How noble was this status? No matter how arrogant and arrogant Shen Shi was, he did not dare to go and receive a kowtow from her.
At the same time, looking at the originally beautiful and charming face of the Xu family’s young miss covered in tears, as weak and helpless as pear blossoms and rain, Shen Shi felt a bit more guilty in his heart. He hurriedly whispered, “Miss, don’t be like this, I can’t bear it.” After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and smiled bitterly. He bowed to Old Madam Xu from afar and said,
“Old Madame is just and honest. Shen Shi is very grateful. However, just as Miss Xu said, everything is just a misunderstanding. As long as you speak clearly, it’s fine. Indeed … there’s no need to be too blamed. Otherwise, Shen Shi would be ashamed. I hope that Old Madame will forgive this lady.”
When Matriarch Xu heard his words, her frosty face finally became slightly gentle. At this moment, Xu Teng took the opportunity to whisper a few more words to her. Her eyes were slightly closed and she opened them again. She coldly said to the woman who was still lying on the ground,
“Even Xue Ying, a ten-year-old girl, is smarter and more knowledgeable than you. Forget it. Since Young Master Shen has also pleaded for mercy for you, I’ll write this down for now. I’ll deal with you carefully when Third Brother wakes up. Let’s go down first. Don’t embarrass yourself here again.”
After saying that, Old Madame Xu turned her head and did not look at the woman any longer. The woman finally let out a long sigh of relief when she heard that in the end, she did not dare to reply. She only agreed with a low voice and wanted to stand up and retreat. Who knew that it was because she had used too much strength to chase after Shen Shi earlier, or because she was too frightened by Old Madame Xu’s accumulated might. When she wanted to get up, she discovered that her entire body was weak, as if she did not have any strength left, and she was actually unable to stand up.
Seeing this, Xu Teng hurriedly shouted to the girl in front of him, “Xue Ying, hurry up and help your mother down to rest.”
The girl named Xue Ying agreed. Her expression also seemed to be relieved. However, her charming face was still a little pale, and she was still a little afraid. However, just as she stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Ying Ying’s gaze moved slightly and she saw Shen Shi standing at the side.
Shen Shi felt the young girl’s clear and bright gaze. Recalling the scene of pleading for her mother just now, In his heart, he had a good impression of this girl called Xu Xueying. At least in the situation just now, she didn’t care about the status of the eldest young miss of her aristocratic family at all. She had only knelt down to plead for the sake of mother and daughter’s affection. Shen Shi didn’t feel that any of the aristocratic family’s children he knew in the past could do it.
Therefore, with some kind intentions, he smiled and nodded at Xu Xueying.
Perhaps it was because the situation just now was too urgent and couldn’t be considered too much. At this moment, Xu Xueying finally seemed to have the shyness of a young girl. The moment her gaze came into contact with Shen Shi, her fair and tender cheeks reddened slightly. She was like a little red flower in the spring breeze, green and beautiful.
She lowered her eyes and bowed slightly. She whispered, “Thank you, Brother Shen, for your kindness. You saved my father and pleaded for my mother. Xue Ying is very grateful.”
Shen Shi returned the bow with a smile and said, “It’s all trivial matters. Miss Xu, don’t worry about it.”
Xu Xueying gave Shen Shi a deep look and then lowered her head to quickly walk to the side of her mother who was still sitting on the ground. She helped her stand up and then walked out of the living room.
④
After Xu Xueying helped the Third Madame leave, the originally tense atmosphere in the living room finally seemed to relax a little. Old Madame Xu’s expression also relaxed. She walked over with a phoenix-headed cane and said apologetically to Shen Shi,
“The family style is not strict, so it makes me laugh generously. Young Master Shen is laughing. I am here to apologize to Young Master on behalf of my daughter-in-law.”
Shen Shi hurriedly moved aside and cupped his hands. “Old Madame is too polite.”
Old Madame Xu nodded and said, “Young Master, please take a seat. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Shen Shi agreed. At the side, servants and servants of the Xu Clan had already come to tidy up. Their movements were also quick. In the blink of an eye, they had tidied up the chaos in the living room. The tables and chairs were arranged properly. Old Madam Xu sat in the main seat. Shen Shi sat on the left side, while the Xu Clan’s Clan Head stood beside her while her mother was seated.
After a while, another girl served hot tea again. The atmosphere was completely relaxed and gentle. After drinking tea, Matriarch Xu said to Shen Shi, “This time, I really have to thank Young Master Shen for helping me save Xu Xing’s life. I also don’t want the old white-haired man to give the black-haired man away. This kindness is deep. If Young Master Shen needs any help from the Xu family in the future, please don’t be too polite.”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “Old Madam, you’re too polite. Actually, Third Uncle Xu and I are old acquaintances. Since we saw him in danger that day, we naturally have an obligation to save him.” After saying that, he saw that Old Madame Xu and Xu Teng had expressions of surprise on their faces, so he told them all about his identity and how he had befriended Qingyu Island in Sun You. He had also seen Xu Xing in the middle.
Old Madame Xu suddenly came to a realization. She nodded and said, “I see. I didn’t expect that you and your little friend are still close friends. It can be seen that this is also an opportunity.” After saying that, she paused for a moment and then looked at Shen Shi. However, she said in a deep voice, “Young Master Shen, since you have such a friendship, I don’t think of you as an outsider anymore. I will ask Young Master what happened to my third brother that day. I hope Young Master will tell me about it.”
Shen Shi nodded and agreed. Naturally, he would not conceal anything for the Mountain Bear Hall. However, just as he was about to speak, he hesitated for a moment and looked at the many Xu Family subordinates standing around.
Old Madam Xu’s expression did not change. Xu Teng coughed and gently waved his hand at the surrounding people. Those people quickly silently left the living room. Seeing this, Shen Shi told the two Xu Family masters what had happened in Centipede Mountain. Finally, he sincerely said,
‘”This sect of the Mountain Bear Hall has had several dealings with me. I know that their sect members have always acted ruthlessly and are especially good at using poison. I heard that one of the Elders Xiong obtained an ancient poison scripture. It must be very difficult to deal with. I’m guessing that the two seniors might not wish to reveal this matter too early or plan for it first. Please forgive me for your rudeness.”
Old Madame Xu nodded her head and said, “Young Master is very thoughtful and considerate of our Xu Clan. This old man is truly grateful for your kindness.”
Shen Shi nodded, then stood up and said, “The situation is roughly the same. If the two seniors have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first.”
Old Madame Xu also stood up and said, “Young Master, there is no need to be in such a hurry. My Xu Clan will naturally reward you for your kindness …”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shi shook his head and said, “No need, Old Madame. I appreciate your kindness. However, I am close friends with Sun You, so I will act on his behalf. If I accept the Xu Family’s gift, I will be embarrassed to say goodbye to him in the future.”
After saying that, she wanted to leave. Old Madam Xu and Xu Teng tried to persuade him a few times, but seeing that Shen Shi’s intentions were firm, she no longer forced him to stay. Xu Teng sent Shen Shi all the way out.
After Shen Shi left, Xu Teng walked all the way back to the living room. He saw Old Madame Xu still sitting alone in her seat, her cold brows slightly wrinkled, as if she was pondering something.
Xu Teng walked over and said, “Mother, Young Master Shen has already left.”
Old Madame Xu nodded slowly and said, “Well, we owe this Young Master Shen a big favor this time. Fortunately, he is at the Lingxiao Sect Sect and is good friends with his little friend. In the future, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities to thank him. I’m not in a hurry.” However, the Mountain Bear Hall, “she said, snorting coldly,” is only a third-rate sect that occupies the local natives. Normally, we don’t care about them. I didn’t expect that they would be bold enough to bully our Xu Clan. ” “Arrange for them to get a clear understanding of the situation inside and outside the Mountain Bear Hall within three days. Let’s see what exactly is going on. In any case, we naturally have to teach them a lesson that they can’t forget.”
Xu Teng nodded in agreement. He was somewhat respectful in front of his mother, but when it came to dealing with cultivation sects like the Mountain Bear Hall, his expression was calm and he couldn’t even see the slightest change in expression.
Old Madame Xu pondered for a moment before suddenly saying to Xu Teng, “Oh right, what do you think of Shen Shi?”
