After the ascension failed, I picked up the protagonist's golden finger

Being stared at by him, Xiao Zhuo gave him a suspicious look, but was stopped when he was about to attack.

"What did he steal?"

Shen Shubai put the sword back into its sheath, and looked straight at him with a frank expression.

Xiao Zhuo reluctantly suppressed the urge to dig out that trash's eyeballs, shook the chalcedony in his hand, and said inexplicably, "Of course it belongs to the Xiao family."

His tone was sticky and cold, like a poisonous snake that was about to bite at any moment.

"My guest, you have asked me so many questions, so it's time to reciprocate, now it's time for me to ask you?"

"I don't know... how to call you?"

His accent was so strange that it was uncomfortable to listen to.

Shen Shubai's brows were slightly drawn together, and before he could speak, Meng Changnian poked his head out, and replied very naturally for Shen Shubai: "This one, that's amazing, so is the real Fuyao."

His tone was full of exaggerated admiration, as if he didn't know that Shen Ci had become a waste at all, or maybe he didn't take it to heart at all. When it was his turn to introduce himself, he naturally squeezed his sleeves, She smiled shyly and said, "Well, I don't care about my name."

"As for the one next to him, he is very beautiful, yes, he is the famous beauty sword..."

Before the word "sword master" could be said, a chill was felt on his neck first. Meng Changnian hid, and Chu Yi's sword was already at the position where his neck was just now. Fortunately, Meng Changnian was prepared and hid very quickly. After standing behind Shen Shubai, only half of his "fancy head" was exposed, and he said convincingly, "My memory is wrong, it's the very handsome and handsome Luoshen sword successor, okay?"

It seemed that he was admitting his mistake, but the slightly annoyed expression was clearly igniting the fire, Chu Yi closed his eyes, and almost did not stab again with the sword. If the scene was not inappropriate, Shen Shubai felt that the two of them should have already fought up.

Seeing that Chu didn't care about it, Meng Changnian became more and more shy.

Shen Shubai: ...he can feel Meng Changnian's triumphant look.

In order not to make him really angry, Shen Shubai whispered: "Be normal for me."

Meng Changnian blinked, as if he didn't quite understand what Shen Ci meant.

"True Fuyao—Shen Ci?"

After Meng Changnian spoke, the expressions of Xiao Zhuo and the group of people behind him became very strange.

"Is that Shen Ci? That famous cripple of Xuan Mingzong?" Someone whispered.

"No way, how dare he come out? Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Could it be a counterfeit at all? His sword just now almost missed me..."

"Shut up, his junior brother is still here!"

Shen Shubai: ...

Shut up now, isn't it a bit late?

He heard it all!

During the period when Meng Changnian spoke, many people came upon hearing the news. Almost all the people living in the mansion were cultivators.

Among the people who came, some were guest servants of the Xiao family, and some were from other sects. They wanted to join in the fun, and the scene became uncontrollable for a while. Nanny Li got angry and quickly sent a maid to tell Mrs. Ni , Ask her to come to the rescue.

She naturally knew Shen Ci's identity, and Chu Yi had introduced it early on. Although she was a little contemptuous in her heart, the big family naturally had the demeanor of a big family, so she wouldn't do such unsightly things.

You must know that although Xuan Mingzong has always looked down on these false names, everyone tacitly recognizes his status as the number one sect in the world.Even if Shen Ci is a useless person, he will not show it and create a rift with Xuan Mingzong.

She just felt that Shen Ci was a bit of a pity. Before his ascension, if he was willing to be born, he could choose a family or even a sect, and he would be treated like a guest of honor if he simply came to the door, but now, it's hard to say.

People in the world, Mu Qiang, worshiping the high and stepping on the low is the norm. If it is slightly better, it is delicious and delicious, and the mentality is not good, then you should not take this opportunity to step on the former genius, so as to grow your own prestige .

Sure enough, Xiao Zhuo's face was full of contempt and disdain, and he didn't shake the chalcedony in his hand, and his tone was yin and yang: "So it's the real person Fuyao, junior Xiao Zhuo, you're being rude."

The word Fuyao Daoist was bitten extremely hard by him, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Someone stepped forward boldly and asked, "I don't know why the real person came here?"

His tone was full of contempt, as if Shen Shubai shouldn't be here.

"I heard that I'm here to get rid of demons, but I've been living in the Xiao Mansion all this time, and I haven't heard of any strange phenomena in the Xiao Mansion..."

"Could it be that in the name of eliminating demons, I don't know what to do in private..."

Speaking with certainty, it was as if Shen Shubai really came to do something invisible.

"Yo, who is that next to him? It can't be that trash from the Xiao Mansion."

"That trash who hasn't awakened his spiritual roots at the age of 14—Xiao Wu?"

"What happened here, is there any relationship between these two people?"

"What else can it be related to, the relationship between waste and useless people."

……

Excessive words one after another, I thought I would see embarrassment and humiliation from the young man's face, but I never thought that Shen Shubai didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, and just stood in front of Xiao Wu calmly.

The familiar smell of medicine enveloped Xiao Wu, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Xiao Wu curled up, his body trembling involuntarily because of the severe pain, only a section of blue clothes could be glimpsed, there seemed to be the sound of a porcelain bottle rolling in the blur, a small The small medicine bottle stopped in front of Xiao Wu.

When they spoke, Chu Yi's sword had already been blown, but at this moment he was frozen in place with an expression of disbelief.

Is this person actually Xiao Wu?

the other side.

The maid trotted for a while, and before arriving at Luoxue Residence where Aunt Ni lived, she ran into Mr. Xiao who had just returned home. With a pale face, she roughly explained the situation. Xiao Chuan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly bid farewell to his friends who were traveling with him. Hurry over here.

After finally arriving, I saw those people forming a group from a distance, except for Shen Ci, the three in the middle all drew their swords, as if they were about to fight.

If you really let them fight, that's okay!

He hurried forward and said: "I don't know that Taoist friends of Xuan Mingzong are here, forgive me for being too far away to welcome you."

He saw Meng Changnian at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat by his attire. He really didn't want to learn how annoying this ancestor was, so he just skipped him. How could Meng Changnian be happy with this different treatment.

"Why, old man Xiao, you clearly only met last month, but you pretend you don't know each other this month?"

He didn't want to say hello, so Meng Changnian wanted to point out.

Xiao Chuan immediately apologized and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiaoyou Meng. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After all, he was the head of the family, and he could be regarded as an elder in name, but at this moment he showed no sign of being offended and annoyed.

It's not because, although Meng Changnian is young, he is born with sword bones. His family is naturally willing to pamper him with such a talent.

Even during that time, he broke up with his clansmen because he had to join the notorious Spirit Sword Sect. His clansman announced to the whole world that he would no longer care about him, but in fact, behind his back, he didn’t know Quietly sponsored Spirit Sword Sect several times.

Even with this period of time, the reputation of Lingjianzong has improved a lot.

As for Xiao Chuan, although he is the head of the Xiao family in name, but his talent is mediocre. All these years, relying on his family's great fortune, he managed to reach the peak of Jindan, and it is indeed difficult for Yuanying to break through.

Maybe if he breaks through the Nascent Soul, he can really put on the airs of an elder, but with his current Golden Core cultivation base, although it is not bad, it is still not enough for Zongmen or a big family of cultivating immortals.

In this world, strength is the last word.

It's not that Meng Changnian really cares about this greeting, it's just that he simply doesn't like him.

Seeing that the little devil was not entangled, Xiao Chuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. On the way here, he heard about everything and thought of a solution.

I saw that he first bowed to everyone, and said apologetically: "Everyone, today is Xiao's negligence. It is really a crime to disturb everyone because of family affairs in the house. Xiao will accompany everyone here first, and it is okay." Willing to do what I can to express some modest apologies."

"I also hope that everyone will not blame me. After the matter in the mansion is settled, Xiao will personally make amends."

Shen Shubai translated it: Don't join in the fun, what should you do.

The people were not without vision, and they were willing to sell his face. After everyone had dispersed, Xiao Chuan ordered people to take Xiao Wu down for treatment, and then invited Shen Shubai and the others to the main hall.

The maidservants prepared tea early, Xiao Chuan toasted them, and then said: "Today I really feel sorry for you guys, and I will use tea instead of wine to express my apology."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

Chu Yi was a little dazed now, Meng Changnian saw that he was a person who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, Shen Shubai secretly sighed, sipped his tea and said, "Palace Master Xiao is being polite, we should feel sorry. "

His movements are calm and graceful, and there is no hostility in his eyebrows and eyes. Instead, he seems to have cold snow in his mouth, cold and noble.

Shen Shubai said again: "The original intention was to help catch monsters, I never thought that such a big commotion would be made, I'm really sorry."

Meng Changnian: ...?

After getting along these few days, he didn't feel that Shen Shubai was a person who liked to make mistakes.

Sure enough, Shen Shubai went on to say: "However, it seems that there has been a theft in the mansion, and Palace Master Xiao is still aware of it."

Xiao Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tentatively asked: "It's not very clear, as you know, I've been busy with prayer festival matters during this time..."

Immediately, his face changed again, and he said angrily: "But who is so bold to steal into Xiao's residence?"

Shen Shubai stared at him with a half-smile, and said: "Yes, this is not a trivial matter, Palace Master Xiao must investigate carefully."

Palace Master Xiao said solemnly: "That's natural."

Shen Shubai pointed at the table with his finger, and said: "I'm new here, I don't know the rules in the mansion well, I don't know how to deal with the crime of stealing?"

Palace Master Xiao sneered and said: "Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? Regarding the theft, if the thief is found out, it will naturally be confiscated and handed over to the government to make a decision. How can we decide?"

Shen Shubai smiled, glanced at Meng Changnian, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and stopped talking.

Meng Changnian received the hint and realized that it was time for him to perform. He slammed the table and stood up, filled with righteous indignation: "Then Palace Master Xiao has to investigate carefully. Apart from thieves, there may be even more daring people in this mansion." people."

Xiao Chuan: "Huh? How do you say that?"

"Someone in the mansion disregarded the king's law and used lynching. Do you think this is serious?"

Xiao Chuan immediately realized that Meng Changnian was alluding to his son Xiao Zhuo, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, "disregarding the king's law", such a serious crime, he can't let this hat be given to him. Buckle it down.

"Naturally it is serious."

He first admitted that seeing that Meng Changnian seemed to be about to open his mouth, he hurriedly explained: "However, you must also know that the Xiao family has always had a strict family style, so it is naturally unbearable to steal things like this. Sometimes the people in the mansion are not sensible. It’s understandable to act aggressively for a while.”

At this moment, his son was taken out.

However, Shen Shubai didn't think about what he could do to his son at all, he just wanted to give them a warning and let them restrain themselves in the future.

In other words, it was just forcing Xiao Chuan to express his opinion.

If you want to know how to accept it, you can't push people into a hurry, and the rabbit will bite people when it is in a hurry.

Afterwards, a few people talked about some things about the great demon of the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Chuan kept practicing Tai Chi, saying that he didn't know much about it, and he seemed to be completely ignorant, but he expressed that he would definitely support them. His answer aroused Shen Shubai's doubts.

Because according to Chu Yi, it was Madam Xiao who sent the greeting card, and this Blood Deed Immortal did evil not only this year, but for several years, why Xiao Chuan seemed to be unaware of it at all.

By the time the conversation was over, it was already late, Shen Shubai refused the proposal to go out for a drink with Meng Changnian, and at this moment, he was wandering aimlessly in the yard.

【beep~】

The system popped up at this moment, and he changed the sound effect, which shocked Shen Shubai. He didn't know if it was Shen Shubai's illusion, but he felt that the blue color of the system seemed to be a little darker.

[The host achieves the "enthusiastic citizen" achievement and rewards the "Koi" system]

【Explanation of the "Koi System": Every time the host achieves an achievement or completes a special task, a random lottery will be drawn, items will drop randomly, and the level of the items will be random. Come on, you will be the next koi! 】

[Rewards for task completion will be issued based on the completion of the side quest, hope the host will work hard! 】

Shen Shubai pressed no expression with a blank face.

Do not ask.

Non-emirates, not worthy of the lottery.

The author has something to say:

Come on, let us read out loud Meng Changnian's self-appointed title: God!Down!No.!one!sword!
