Shen Rude was extremely mean, and Li Ru had just been beaten to the point of embarrassment, so naturally he couldn't find any words to fight back.

Although he was covered in dirt, he didn't actually suffer any particularly fatal injuries, and he still had the strength to fight if he wanted to.

Seeing that Li Ru had condensed his mana again, Shen Lu didn't dare to be ambiguous and prepared for the battle.

"Ru'er, Hugh is messing around. ”

At the entrance of the courtyard, Shen Chonglou walked in with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man and Li Ru are four or five points similar in appearance, and it seems that it is his father.

Seeing that his son was so embarrassed, and the surrounding Shen family was whispering and laughing, he suddenly felt a dull face for a while, and said in a changed tone: "Ru'er, get out of my house for me!"

"Dad, I can win! I was aware of his combat attributes, and he was careless for a while, so he fell behind. I can outdo him!"

Li Ru said anxiously, what he cared about most was that his strength was misunderstood, so he kept justifying.

Then he looked at Shen Lu with great unconvincing: "We can't use any props in the first place." It's despicable and shameless that you used a skill card!"

Shen Lu looked at each other like a fool and said, "Who is competing with you?" I was going to kill you just now." It's really a sword fight, a life-and-death battle, don't you allow me to use skill cards?"

"You Hu, you obviously didn't have a life-and-death struggle just now!"

Shen Lu suddenly smiled as if he had heard a big joke, and then said, "Do I have to inform you before I kill you?" I've long since stopped fighting, but you're pressing every step of the way. Later, you took the initiative and me off, so I wanted to kill you. From the beginning to the end, I never wanted to compete with you!"

"I ...... You ......"

Li Ru was speechless for a moment, because Shen Lu's words were all true.

The middle-aged man saw that his son was choked like this, and the other party kept saying that he wanted to kill his son, so he was naturally extremely dissatisfied and frowned.

Shen Chonglou on the side smiled indifferently and said, "Children play with each other, Li Xian's nephew won't take it to heart, right?"

The middle-aged man forcibly squeezed out a smile, turned back to Shen Chonglou and said, "Naturally not." However, my son is injured now, I want to take him back for treatment, and he should not come to Jade Emperor City again for a month or two, so take care of Old Lady Shen. ”

Shen Chonglou's face sank, and his back molars were clenched, obviously extremely dissatisfied. He thought about confessing and getting angry, but in the end he couldn't achieve both, so he could only say: "Nephew Li Xian is really going to rest and rest." If you live in this city for a long time, you will be more or less stuck to the stinky temper in the city. It is still the best in remote towns, and some key things can be figured out best in the idyll. I hope that when I see Li Xian's nephew again in a month, there will no longer be so many stinky problems on my body. ”

"Even if there is a stinky problem, it is because of staying in this Shen family for a long time. Old lady Shen rest assured, we can't wait to leave here immediately. ”

shook his sleeves fiercely and broke up with Shen Chonglou.

After taking a few steps, he turned back to Li Ru and said, "Don't you give me back, isn't it enough to be embarrassed!"

Li Ru looked at Shen Lu hatefully, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only put away his moves and said to Shen Lu: "You are lucky this time, next time we do it, I will double the humiliation I received today." ”

"I'll kill you next time. Shen Lu replied indifferently, and then walked back to the reception room as if he didn't exist.

Li Ru was naturally angry and half dead, but he had no choice but to leave with his father.

At this time, the Shen family had already watched a lot of people. After seeing this powerful Li Ru being beaten away, they all applauded and cheered towards Shen Lu, instantly treating him as a big hero of the family.

Shen Zhenyuan came to Shen Chonglou and said in a low voice: "Dad, is it really okay for you to fall out with the Li family like this?

"The Li family's stinger, we have to pull it out sooner or later, otherwise my house will really have the surname Li. Since you always have to offend people, why don't you let someone who is not very important do it?" After Shen Chonglou finished lightly, he said to Shen Zhenyuan: "The person you hate the most in the Li family now is me, or Shen Lu?"

Shen Zhenyuan was stunned, he didn't expect his father to have this plan at all.

He felt a little unhappy between his eyebrows, and then said to his father: "Shen Lu is also our Shen family, if you really calculate the account, we can't escape." ”

"Whether Shen Lu is our Shen family or not, it's not good yet. Zhenyuan, I know that you like to practice martial arts, and you appreciate people who are accomplished in martial arts. Not only you, but also your father, and our Shen family. ”

After a pause, a helpless look appeared on his face before he continued: "But now, our Shen family is already the weakest of the four major families. If we put cultivation in the first place like this, then in the future, whether it is other families or the imperial court, they will try to make us the easiest opponents to deal with and get rid of them first. I'm old, and I don't have a few years to live, but I don't want the Shen family to perish under my control, I can't afford to be responsible. ”

Shen Zhenyuan understood his father's hard work very well, and hurriedly said after hearing these words: "Father, the child understands. Everything the child does in the future is aimed at the future of our Shen family. If this Shen Lu and we are not of the same mind, then I will not tolerate him anymore. ”

Shen Chonglou nodded, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "This kind of thing will be done later." Although his father Shen Xuanyuan doesn't know how to lift, his son may be used by us. You also watched the battle just now, this Shen Lufu is excellent, if I can become my right-hand man like you, it will naturally be the most beneficial to the Shen family. Especially after that incident, I have the confidence to convince him to fight for the Shen family. ”

Then, Shen Chonglou asked Shen Zhenyuan to disperse the Shen family, and then entered the reception room with Shen Lu.

Shen Chonglou sat in the main seat, Shen Zhenyuan was in the second place, and Shen Lu sat opposite Shen Zhenyuan. In terms of seating order, Shen Lu's position at the moment is the same as Shen Zhenyuan's, which makes Shen Lu a little flattered.

After Shen Chonglou took a sip of tea, he began to look at Shen Lu carefully, and suddenly smiled: "How did you do it?"

"Uh, what?" Shen Lu was a little puzzled, not knowing what he was.

"How did you recognize Li Ru's combat attributes, and then fight back?"

"Oh, that's what I asked. Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little worried that this eldest uncle would ask a lot of family-related things at the beginning.

He gathered his thoughts for a moment, and then explained, "His phantom attribute mana is very powerful, and it can create illusions when fighting, but there is something wrong with him, and it is very wrong. ”

"Which point?"

Shen Lu explained in great detail: "He used the phantom to disguise himself as moving at high speed. And I have the peak attribute mana in my body, and what I am most familiar with is how to fight in high-speed mobile combat. No matter how his mana is pulled, his power point, and his body movement trajectory, it is contrary to the habit of high-speed combat, so I can see at a glance that he is not a person who is used to high-speed fighting, but just acting, and his acting skills are very clumsy. ”

Seeing that Shen Chonglou still had a somewhat misty expression, Shen Lu stood up, took himself as an example and said, "For example, if I want to take a step forward now, my action should be to raise my knees first, bend my knees, and then take a step forward." But Shen Chonglou's movements, but there was no reaction from his body, and he flew to a position one step away. This is logically untenable, so I concluded that he was pretending to be moving at high speed. ”

Shen Chonglou and Shen Zhenyuan were suddenly stunned. Especially Shen Zhenyuan, after understanding the key points, he immediately slapped the table and said excitedly: "Not bad! Not bad! I have watched this fight many times, and I always feel that there is a strange feeling in his movements, so this is it." Shen Lu, you really have some skills, the flaws that I haven't seen for so long have been seen by you at a glance. ”

Shen Chonglou coughed lightly and glanced at Shen Zhenyuan with slanted eyes.

Shen Zhenyuan suddenly remembered what he had said to his father just now, and immediately reined in, not daring to discuss martial arts with Shen Lu so excitedly.

"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Shen Lu looked at the somewhat embarrassed father and son in front of him a little blankly, not understanding why they had strange expressions.

Shen Chonglou shook his head and said, "No, yours are good." To be able to find such a flaw in such a short period of time is indeed a fighting talent. So how did you break his illusion, in other words, how did you guess his location and fight back?"

Shen Luti sniffed, and then smiled: "My eyes may lie to me, but my nose will definitely not lie to me." No matter how deceptive his apparitions were, they were simply caused by distorting the vision of others by simply relying on mana. As long as I don't trust my own eyes and trust my nose instead, I can naturally tell where his essence is. ”

"I see. With such a keen sense of smell, he can use wine as a weapon, and he is appreciated by Qu Xuanzong, so he is worthy of being a seven-star winemaker. ”

Shen Chong Lou, then raised his head and stared at Shen Lu with some strange eyes.

"It's still here. Shen Lu muttered, then sat back in his seat and said to Shen Chonglou: "Uncle Gong, if you have anything, just go straight." Is it because of a rootless fire?"

In fact, before Shen Lu came to the Shen family, he had been thinking about this problem.

Everything that happened in Yong'an Country must not escape the eyes of the Shen family.

How do you know that Shen Chonglou didn't care with a face, and said to Shen Lu: "This kind of thing, if you want it, keep it yourself, don't let other Shen family members know about it."

Shen Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the truth.

The heirlooms of the four major families were all lost, and there was no loss to the four major families, so it didn't matter if there was this thing or not.

And the sudden loss and recovery of the heirloom will definitely cause some controversy. If the other three families knew that the tomb next to the Shen family had been stolen, and that the heirloom of the Rootless Fire was actually stolen by the Shen family's guards, then the Shen family would really become a laughing stock at that time.

After figuring this out, the boulder that had been hanging in Shen Lu's heart finally landed.

However, he was at a loss again, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Gong, if it weren't for the rootless fire, then why am I a sinner of the Shen family?"

"Because six years ago, you destroyed the Shen family's only hope of rising!"
