Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The elders of the Yang family were going crazy.
They glared at Shang Jingheng, “Shang Jingheng, our two families are well-connected. Is this how you treat your allies?”
“Aren’t you afraid that if word gets out, everyone will be afraid of your Shang family and won’t associate with you?!”
One had to know that the ancient martial arts world valued reputation the most!
Although the current world was developing extremely fast, with all the high technology and breaking through space.
But the ancient martial arts world was still similar to the ancient times.
They maintained the most basic etiquette and rules, and placed great importance on reputation.
If word got out that Shang Jingheng was bullying his allies like this…
Even if the Shang clan was a super aristocratic clan, it would definitely be discussed by others.
At this moment, the elders of the Yang family were thinking the same thing.
Relying on sympathy and the public opinion outside to suppress Shang Jingheng and make him stop in time!
As for that b*stard head of the Yang family…
He was the one who caused the trouble.
It was normal for them to give up on him after implicating the Yang family in such a big mess!
In fact, in the hearts of the elders, they were already thinking about what method to use to convince the other elders.
To let their own people rise to the top!
Unfortunately, their thoughts were very good, but they met Shang Jingheng and Qin Yiyi instead.
Qin Yiyi was not to be mentioned. She had already lived for so many years, how could she be bound by a custom that she did not see in her eyes?
As for Shang Jingheng…
If he could be swayed by these things, then he would not have his current status and reputation!
He helped Qin Yiyi peel a spiritual fruit and placed it in her hands.
“This fruit tastes okay. Try It and see if you like it. If you like it, I’ll buy some for us to bring back to eat.”
Qin Yiyi didn’t care and directly stuffed it into her mouth.
It melted as soon as it entered her throat.
It was warm and cool, with a slight sweetness…
She narrowed her eyes like a cat and nodded with curved brows and eyes.
“It’s quite delicious.”
Qin Yiyi thought about it and felt that she should at least bring some specialty products when she went back. She didn’t care about other people, but her grandparents, Lu Jinwan, and the others…
She then looked at Shang Jingheng, “Then buy more and bring some to Grandma and the others to taste later?”
“Then I’ll ask Ding Yi to buy more later.”
The conversation between the two of them made the elders of the Yang family on the other side of the conversation so angry that their beards curled up.
Buy more?
Do you know what kind of fruit this is?
It’s worth a thousand gold coins.
And it’s the kind that has a price but no market.
If their family wanted to buy a few to nurture their young people, they had to buy them by chance.
If they could get a few, then it was a good opportunity!
But the two people on the other side thought they could easily buy it?
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of one of the elders.
It was often said that Shang Jingheng of the Shang family was greedy for money and only had money in his eyes!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up on being a descendant of the Shang family and given up on ancient martial arts to take over those things from the secular world!
But money was nothing in the eyes of these people.
Look, now he had become a joke due to his lack of experience, right?
He snorted coldly in his heart.?What an ignorant thing!
On the other hand, the other elder of the Yang family gritted his teeth and took two steps forward.
“Mr. Shang and this young lady, there are still a few fruits like this in the house. Why don’t I ask the children to take them out and give them to this young lady?”
He looked at Shang Jingheng and his tone was filled with caution and probing. “No matter what, we are still a family. Previously, the family head also mistook slander. Now that he has learned his lesson, the few of us have even discussed and decided to abolish his position as the family head and choose another capable person. Nephew Shang, as the old saying goes, leave a way out…”
“I would like to see you all again, but look at your old arms and legs. I just don’t know if you can still live until the next time I return to the ancient martial arts world?!”
Shang Jingheng’s venomous tongue function was activated.
These few words made the faces of the Yang family’s elders turn black, and some of the hot-tempered ones turned red from holding in their anger.
Child bullying!
However, I am bullying you. What can you do to me?!
The Yang family members could read the meaning behind Shang Jingheng’s arrogance.
However, they were really helpless!
In the end, the elders could not continue the stalemate. One of them looked at Shang Jingheng and opened his mouth.
“What do you want? Just say it.”
“Yes, Shang, draw a line!”
Draw a line?
Shang Jingheng’s cold eyes swept across the elders one by one.
Finally, he sighed. “The guests I brought were scared twice by your Yang family, and now they are threatened by your Yang family. What, am I so useless that I would let you bully my people and then simply and easily let this matter go?”
“Then what do you want?”
The third elder of the Yang family was very angry. He slammed the table.
“Shang Jingheng, don’t push your luck. Our family head was crippled by you. Now, you actually came to us to ask for losses?”
“This is really funny!”
“It’s not funny at all.”
Shang Jingheng looked at him. His eyes flashed slightly and his voice was clear and cold. “What I said is the truth. No matter what, the Yang family brought this upon themselves. Is this what you mean by ‘The upper beam cannot be upright when the lower beam is crooked’? Or are you saying that the elders don’t intend to spend money to eliminate this disaster and insist on taking action?”
“It’s not that it’s impossible. It’s just that…”
He smiled at the Yang family’s elders whose faces were ashen.
“Don’t send those weak fellows out there. They’re ruining my mood. On the other hand, if any of you want to take action, hurry up and stand out. I’ll give you two moves!”
With these words, the hatred points were filled to the brim!
In the end, an elder of the Yang family really stood out, “I’ll do it. This old man doesn’t need you to let me do it. Let’s see who’s the real deal!”
With that said, he actually charged towards Shang Jingheng.
Today, he was going to teach this unfilial son of the Shang family a good lesson!
In the end..
Five minutes later.
The elder who made a move was sent flying by Shang Jingheng’s single palm.
He stopped his attack cleanly. He turned his chair around and smiled at the elders.
“Next.”
Next…
What do you mean ‘next’?
That’s it!
Shang Jingheng felt a little regretful. He wanted to show this girl his skills.
He didn’t expect the elders of the Yang family to be so disappointing!
He stood up and looked at the elders of the Yang family.
“Either I end you now, or I open up your Yang family’s treasury. I want to take my little friend for a walk.”
The few remaining elders of the Yang family looked at each other and finally sighed.
Open!
A dazzling array!
The treasury was filled with shining gold and jade.
Qin Yiyi’s eyes were dazzled by the sight.
Of course, she was not shocked by these treasures, but the feeling in her eyes was just like this.
She could not open her eyes!
Moreover, she felt very depressed.
Shang Jingheng stood by her side. Although he was fighting with the old foxes of the Yang family…
He still diverted some of his attention to Qin Yiyi, who was by her side.
At this moment, he saw her frown slightly.
He was shocked. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this storeroom, or is it uncomfortable?”
“Let’s go out first.”
It was his oversight.
He had thought that he would bring the little girl here to look for a few defensive treasures.
At the same time, it would make her happy.
He did not expect…
Qin Yiyi waved her hand at him. “There’s no need. Let’s go around and take a look before we leave.”
“That’s fine too.”
Shang Jingheng naturally listened to Qin Yiyi’s every word.
He even followed behind her and reminded her of what these treasures were and what they were for.
He wholeheartedly wanted Qin Yiyi to choose a few more things to bring out.
Even if she didn’t like it and didn’t want to use it, it would be good to bring it out to play once in a while to change her mood.
The third elder of the Yang family who followed behind the two of them was really at a loss for words. In the end, he could only hold his breath and pretend that he didn’t hear anything.
He didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t want to hear it!
“Yiyi, look at this. Can you bring it back for Grandpa to play with?”
It was a piece of warm jade the size of a palm.
It was of excellent quality.
Most importantly, it exuded a faint spiritual energy!
People who wore it often could prolong their lives, and it could bring good luck and keep away bad luck!
Qin Yiyi also felt that it was quite good. “Then bring it back.”
The people of the Yang family had offended her.
She had also crippled the family head of the other family.
Now, Shang Jingheng was backing her up.
She was not that stupid. She would not waste such an opportunity!
However, there was only one piece.
As she was thinking, her gaze suddenly fell on a corner not far away.
There was actually a comb there!
In the eyes of others, it was just a jade comb.
However, Qin Yiyi discovered at a glance that this jade comb was a spirit tool!
Those who frequently wore it and used it to comb their hair would receive great benefits!
She walked over in two or three steps and bent down to pick up the palm-sized jade comb.
“This is for grandmother.”
Looking at the two things she took.
The Yang family’s third elder secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this girl did not understand goods!
Although the two things she took were also treasure, in the Yang family’s large treasury, they were really nothing.
The third elder’s heart heaved a sigh of relief. He could not help but relax a little. He even thought in his heart that if this girl could not choose any real treasures later on, he would just choose a little toy suitable for a girl. After all, it was to coax a little girl. It was beautiful, exquisite, and valuable. There was no way it could go wrong!
After all, if they were to really talk about it, it was the Yang family who had done something wrong this time.
Even though the family head had been abandoned as well.
He sighed in his heart and raised his head to look at Qin Yiyi.
Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her eyes were filled with radiance.
She stood there quietly like a fairy that had walked out of a painting.
Beautiful and otherworldly.
Third Elder also had a daughter who was about the same age as Qin Yiyi.
However, no matter how much he treasured his own daughter and liked his own daughter, he had no choice but to think at this moment…
Even if he added up ten of his own daughters, they would not be as good as this Miss Qin in front of him!
However, they were only good.
Third Elder smiled, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
His daughter was extremely talented in ancient martial arts. At such a young age, she already had a decent cultivation level.
A few days ago, the Liu family had come to propose marriage.
He was a little reluctant, so he temporarily rejected them. However, would he be afraid if he had one?
When his daughter was older and her ancient martial arts cultivation level was higher…
Would he still be afraid that he wouldn’t be able to marry her?!
“Big Brother Shang, I think this is suitable for Xu Zhuoyan to defend himself…”
Qin Yiyi was holding a set of armor with automatic defense function in her hand.
Even though it looked pitch black,?it was really the kind that was invulnerable to weapons and even bullets!
“Sure, I’ll help you bring it to him later and ask him to bring something good to thank you.”
Shang Jingheng’s words made Qin Yiyi’s brows curl into a smile.
This person!
He really would not let her suffer at all.
He had helped Xu Zhuoyan choose a gift, and he had directly asked Xu Zhuoyan to exchange it with her…
Not far away, third elder, who had been lagging behind, heard the conversation between the two of them and flashed out.
When he saw the treasured clothes in Shang Jingheng’s hands, the corners of his mouth twitched.
These two people really… knew how to choose..
He sighed in his heart, but in the end, he still chose to remind them.
“That, don’t look at how powerful those treasured clothes are. It’s just a bad one. Moreover, not everyone can wear it…”
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been kept in the Yang family’s treasure vault for so many years!
In this day and age, who wouldn’t want to wear a body-protecting treasured armor outside.
Unfortunately, no one in the Yang family could wear it!
Qin Yiyi sized up the third elder and confirmed that he wasn’t unwilling to give it up or wanting to go back on his word.
Then, she smiled at him.
“Thank you.”
A few minutes later.
“This is for Yang Huaijun, Xiao Rou… this, this…”
This voice kept ringing in his ears.
In the end, the third elder’s heart began to tremble.
He really wanted to run over and shout, “Don’t touch it. My heart aches.”
The current third elder really wanted to turn back time and go back to the moment when he was kind and soft-hearted.
What was there to sympathize with these two people?
They were just two little thieves!
When Qin Yiyi thought that she had chosen a suitable treasure for all the people close to her, she smiled sweetly.
She raised her head and looked at the third elder who was following behind the two of them closely. His face was ashen and he smiled bitterly.
Qin Yiyi turned her head to look at Shang Jingheng. “Big Brother Shang, Let’s go?”
“Wait a little longer.”
The third elder, who had wanted to see him nod his head, turned even paler when he heard this.
He took a deep breath and his tone was unfriendly.
“Shang family brat, don’t go too far. Our family lost a family head because of you!”
Qin Yiyi looked at the third elder in surprise when she heard this.
“Third elder, we didn’t know your family head before, okay?”
What did he mean by losing a family head because of them?
They didn’t know the Yang family was a thing before this.
The Yang family head went to find trouble with her. It wasn’t like she had gone to find trouble with the Yang family!
So…
She wasn’t going to take the blame for this!
Well, Shang Jingheng couldn’t take the blame either!
“Yiyi, look at this.”
Unknowingly, Shang Jingheng held two short daggers in his hands.
They glowed with a ghastly white light.
He had a face full of joy. “Yiyi, what do you think of these two short daggers?”
“They’re full of vigor and are pretty good.”
Shang Jingheng nodded. “I think they’re pretty good too. You can use them for yourself.”
He had also tried it just now. He could split a piece of hair with just a swing!
Qin Yiyi took the two daggers and rolled her eyes. She raised her feet and walked toward a place not far in front of her.
In a corner.
A ring that was covered in dust and its original color could not be seen suddenly and naturally appeared in front of Qin Yiyi.
She bent down to pick it up.
She quietly laid the ring in her palm.
The little girl’s eyes were curved, and her eyes were like clear water, cool and unsullied.
“It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Brother Shang, this is for you.”
The third elder behind them was almost driven mad by the two of them.
How many treasures could they keep in their storehouse after they completed these two rounds?
Simply…
Indescribable!
