Killing God - Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Accidental Encounter
Xu Teng pondered for a moment and said, “I think this young man is not bad.”

Old Madame Xu glanced at him and said, “What should I say?”

Xu Teng said, “Judging from the time he spent in our house today, he is neither humble nor arrogant. He knows etiquette, he knows how to advance and retreat, and his temperament is passable. In addition, he is from the Lingxiao Sect Sect. It is indeed rare for him to be close friends with a little friend.” As he said that, he glanced at Old Madame Xu and smiled. “What, could it be that Mother wanted to recruit this young man?”

Old Madame Xu’s expression was calm. “Our Xu Clan has such a large family business and has inherited it for a thousand years. It is impossible for us to survive only by relying on the Xu Clan’s clansmen. Being stubborn is the path to death. Moreover, after so many years of wealth and honor, you must know how many talents the Xu Clan has left behind. As the Clan Head, you must also have some ideas.”

Xu Teng nodded and said, “Mother is absolutely right. Our Xu Clan has continuously recruited a lot of foreign talents over the years. This is why the situation is getting bigger and bigger. It won’t be completely crushed by the Sun Clan. However, my son also heard that there are quite a few clansmen in the clan who have some objections to this. It’s very hard to listen to them in private.”

Old Madame Xu snorted coldly with a hint of disdain and said, “However, they are just mediocre people with high standards and low skills. If you don’t have the ability, you can’t see the good of others. Do you really think that throwing a good baby Xu Lundang is better than others? Forbidden Land Frog is nothing more than that.” At this point, she smiled coldly and turned around. After pausing for a moment, her expression softened slightly and she said to Xu Teng,

“However, everything needs to be measured. Everything is fine now, but it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any peerless figures under the Xu Clan in the future. Since you are the Clan Head, you still have to put the Xu Clan first. Remember that only strong and weak branches can protect our Xu Clan’s safety. However, if our Xu Clan is truly filled with mediocre people, no matter how hard we struggle, we won’t be able to preserve our family business. There’s no need to think too much about it. ”

Xu Teng’s expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice, “Mother, don’t worry, but teach my son one more breath. He definitely won’t let our Xu Clan run the risk of decay.”

Old Madame Xu nodded slightly and sighed. “I’m more at ease with what you’re doing. As for the further things, I can’t see them anymore. Let them go.”

Xu Teng looked from the side and saw that under his mother’s silver hair, there was a look of despondency on his face. His heart couldn’t help but shrink. He had always been filial to his mother, so he changed the topic and said, “Mother, about Shen Shi …”

Old Madame Xu said, “Hmm.” After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said, “Speaking of which, I seem to remember that little friend once said something about the ‘Fire Centipede Fragrance’ a few years ago. If not for a good friend accidentally seeing through that fake fragrance, I’m afraid that he would have been plotted against for some unknown reason.”

Xu Teng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, “Indeed, I have some impression of this matter. Could it be” His expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked a little solemn. “Could it be that Shen Shi is the good friend that little friend spoke of?”

Old Madame Xu remained silent for a moment and said, “Although I am not completely sure, it is most likely him.” Also, have you noticed that although he is only at the elementary level of the Origin Condensation Realm, he was able to deal with the two Mountain Bear Hall cultivators very easily when he was at the Centipede Mountain to save Third Brother? After that, he retreated and treated Third Brother, searched for a place to hide and wait for dawn before rushing back to Floating Cloud City. Not long ago, he was here to explain the situation to the two of us. From the beginning to the end, this young man showed a calm and composed expression. He handled things quickly and without panic. ”

Xu Teng slowly nodded and his eyes lit up. “Indeed, it is rare for him to be able to achieve such a feat at his age and at such a cultivation realm.” As he spoke, his gaze towards the matriarch was slightly scorching. “Mother, do you also think that this person is a rare talent?” He said.

Matriarch Xu smiled faintly and said, “As long as one’s talent is not too bad and precious and rare resources such as elixirs and magic herbs are fully deployed at any cost, the Origin Core Realm does not dare to say that almost all of them can be piled up under the Divine Concept. However, this mental ability varies from person to person and is different from one to another.”

As she spoke, she stood up and slowly walked a few steps. “If what Shen Shi said before is true, then he is indeed a person worthy of cultivation. His future is great. However … as the Patriarch, you must be careful in your actions. Moreover, undercurrents are surging inside and outside the sect. It is hard to say whether this person is a chess piece secretly laid down by someone. You cannot be careless.” Arrange for someone to go to Lingxiao Sect Sect to inquire about Shen Shi and find out his background, including Little Friend. You can also find someone to ask him a few questions at an appropriate time to confirm his background. Only after confirming that there are no abnormalities in this child can we recruit and nurture him. ”

Xu Teng nodded and agreed. It seemed that he believed in Old Madame Xu’s judgement. However, after a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Mother, the rest is easy to say. It’s just little friend … Do you have any other thoughts?”

Old Madame Xu remained silent for a moment and said indifferently, “Little friend is my direct grandson. I also love him very much in Su Ri. Unfortunately, his mind seems to have always been on the Sun Clan. Although he didn’t say anything, I can tell that he still wants to fight for an outstanding position in the Sun Clan.”

Xu Teng’s expression was slightly uneasy as he said, “Mother, little friend is still young, it’s inevitable …”

Old Madame Xu waved her hand and said, “I’m not blaming him. Actually, his surname is Sun. This is only natural. It’s just the child’s temperament …”

At this point, she suddenly sighed, but did not continue.

“Ahhhh …”

A slightly hurried cough sounded in the Five Elements Hall. Xu Yanzhi was shocked at first, but then she revealed a smile. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed man opposite her, she covered her mouth and smiled, “What’s wrong? Drinking tea will still choke? Are you still a cultivator?”

The young and handsome man sitting opposite her was actually Sun You. For some reason, he actually ran to this deserted Five Elements Hall by himself today. Seeing him cough twice, he put down the teacup in his hand awkwardly and rolled his eyes. “Damn it, who said bad things about me behind my back?” After pausing for a moment, he quickly revealed an indignant expression and said, “I know, it must be that fellow Shen Shi!”

“Hey!” This time, Xu Yanzhi called out, but he did not agree. He glared at Sun You and said, “You are so strange, how can you drag it onto my Junior Brother Shen?”

Young friend Sun laughed and said, “Senior Sister Xu, as expected, once the stone enters the hall, you will look at him differently.”

Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Nonsense, this is what you deserve. Don’t you speak up for him and still speak up for you? Judging from your cunning appearance, my Junior Brother Shen has always been honest and honest. He must have been bullied by you a lot, right?”

Sun You was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Senior Sister Xu, that’s all. You actually used the words’honest and honest ‘on Stone. I don’t agree with you.” As he spoke, he lowered his voice a little and said with a smile, “Let me tell you, Shitou is much more cunning than me.”

Xu Yanzhi sneered with disdain and said, “Go lie to the ghost. Anyway, why did you think of coming here today to inquire about Junior Brother Shen’s return to the mountain?”

Sun You shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have something urgent to look for him. There is no one in his cave. I thought that since he has entered the academy now, he might be here.”

Xu Yanzhi shook his head and said, “He hasn’t returned to the mountain yet, but it should be in these two days.” As she spoke, she glanced at Sun You and smiled, “Don’t speak ill of Stone here in the future. Otherwise, if someone else hears your words, they will immediately give you a look.”

“Who is Senior Sister Xu talking about?” Sun You smiled.

Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Little sister Qingzhu, she often comes to find me. Unfortunately, she has to accompany her master down the mountain to Floating Cloud City this morning. That’s why she didn’t come. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble.”

Sun You was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled. His gaze seemed to have some meaning, but in the end, he still smiled without saying a word. Then, Shi Ran stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Shi left the Xu Clan and took the little pig along the street for a while. Originally, he wanted to go directly back to Ling Chunni’s cabin. However, he turned around and thought that there were still some spirit materials in his Ruyi bag that he had obtained from going to Centipede Mountain before he met Xu Xing. Although the grade was not high, there were still some that were worth a bit of spirit crystals.

Thinking of this, he turned around and went to the south treasure shop of the city. In the bustling streets, he had already formed a habit of going straight to the Divine Immortal Gathering.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the Divine Immortal Association’s shop, Shen Shi felt a familiar and intimate aura pouncing towards him. This lively scene was noisy and mixed with countless people’s desires and hopes. He had watched it grow up since he was young, and every time he saw it, he would feel a bit more intimate.

Not long after he entered, a middle-aged man greeted him. It was precisely Chen Li, who greeted him with a smile and began to greet him. Shen Shi was also shocked. He thought to himself that this person’s gaze was really sharp. Perhaps everyone would have a bit of unique ability.

After exchanging greetings, Chen Li asked about Shen Shi’s intentions and very quickly brought him to a counter at the back of the shop. He called for someone to count the spirit materials and herbs that Shen Shi wanted to sell, and settle the bill and deliver the spirit crystals to him as quickly as possible.

Seeing this scene, Shen Shi felt a little embarrassed, because the amount of the transaction was indeed not large. It was only a few dozen spirit crystals, and he could only thank them repeatedly. On the contrary, Chen Li kept smiling and talking. Even after the amount was released, the smile on his face did not change at all. He still chatted with Shen Shi and said that if Shen Shi came back in the future, he just needed to look for him.

Shen Shi also secretly admired Chen Li. He wanted to do business to such an extent, so what else could he do? In the Divine Immortal Gathering, there were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even an ordinary subordinate had such insights. It was truly astonishing.

The two of them chatted for a while, Shen Shi said goodbye and prepared to leave. At the same time, several people walked down the stairs in the deepest part of the shop. The two of them walked side by side. One was a bald white-haired Master Wu, and the other had an extraordinary demeanor. From the looks of it, it was actually the Formation Hall Origin Core Realm Daoist Le Jingshan, who had been to Qingyu Island many years ago.

These two old friends, who seemed to have known each other for many years, chatted and laughed with each other. Their attitudes were very amiable. Behind Le Jingshan was a beautiful woman, Zhong Qingzhu.

She followed Master all the way down. Her gaze inadvertently swept across the lobby of the Divine Immortal Association’s shop. Suddenly, she saw a counter in front of her. Shen Shi was actually there. At this moment, he was turning around and walking out.

Her eyes lit up, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. Then, she quickly walked to Le Jingshan’s side and whispered a few words. Elder Le seemed to be very fond of her. He smiled and waved his hand, letting Zhong Qingzhu leave.

Zhong Qingzhu quickly walked down the stairs, but in the blink of an eye, she saw that Shen Shi was already outside the gate. She hurriedly followed him. When she walked out of the gate, she looked around and found that Shen Shi had already walked more than 20 feet away on the long street, but it was obvious that he was still within sight.

The corner of Zhong Qinglu’s mouth curled into a smile. Just as she was about to call him, her expression changed slightly. It was as if she had thought of something in the depths of her heart at this moment. In the end, she fell silent.

She stood at the door and stared at Shen Shi’s back. She saw him walking forward quickly, and the little black pig was also happily following at his feet.

Within the crowd, the beautiful woman seemed to have no one else in her eyes. Only the back of the man remained. A moment later, she lowered her head slightly and a faint light flashed in her eyes. Then, she silently followed.
