Chapter 12: Mission Impossible

As the patriarch, Shen Qian's status in the Shen family is naturally one of the best, and in the middle of the Shen family's mansion is Shen Qian's mansion. At this moment, in the secret room of this courtyard, there was a young man standing in front of Shen Qian, this man looked wooden and easy to be ignored.

"Tomorrow you follow that little bastard, see the right moment, kill her, and bring me her treasure."

The gloomy voice sounded, and the lights in the room could not dispel the chill in it, and the man's face was still full of woodenness, and he just knelt down and replied, "My subordinates obey orders." ”

Shen Qian nodded with satisfaction, he had long wanted to kill Shen Yuexue, although she was just a waste, but who made her unlucky, it was Shen Ao's daughter. But Shen Qian is cunning by nature, he will never kill Shen Yuexue blatantly, after all, Shen Ao's life and death are unknown, and he has to be cautious.

However, Shen Qian's retreat, this opportunity is rare, plus that little slut doesn't know how high or low, provoked and injured his baby daughter, and has a treasure for self-defense, he really doesn't need to wait any longer.

Last time, Shen Yuexue's talisman necklace resisted Shen Yan's attack, and Shen Qian thought about it. He didn't believe that such a treasure of self-defense could really cause him any harm, but Shen Qian was a cautious person, especially sparing his life, so he let his men test it first, and it was best to succeed, even if it didn't work, he had other means.

……

Linglong Pavilion, located on the south side of the Shen family's main residence, is a six-storey attic, which contains all kinds of good things that the Shen family's disciples crave, such as martial arts cheats, medicinal herbs and spiritual liquids, high-grade weapons, and rare treasures. But these things, ordinary disciples have no chance to see, what really attracts them is the distribution of rewards once every six months.

The Shen family stipulates that low-level disciples have a monthly allowance of fifty taels of silver, middle-level disciples have a monthly allowance of one hundred taels of silver, and senior disciples receive one thousand taels of silver per month. In addition, each intermediate disciple can get one to three bottles of spiritual liquid containing spiritual energy every month, and senior disciples have ten bottles per month, but naturally there are not too many such good things, and low-level disciples don't have them.

This day is not the day to distribute the monthly rites and spiritual liquid, but the front of the Linglong Pavilion is still overcrowded, just because today is the day to assign tasks once a month.

There will be no pie in the sky, the Shen family is a medium-sized family, and the monthly expenses are not small, in addition to the industrial support under the name of the Shen family, this expenditure also depends on the contribution of all the disciples. Therefore, the fifteenth day of each month is the day when the disciples of the Shen family send out tasks, and the difficulty of these tasks is different, and they are all divided according to the level of the disciples.

Shen Yuexue stood alone in the corner against the wall, because everyone didn't want to be close to her, so Shen Yuexue actually left a large blank area in front of her. Shen Yuexue didn't care about these before, not to mention now, she felt like a huge rich person with a net worth of hundreds of billions but had to pretend to be a beggar, and touched the storage bag in her arms, Shen Yuexue's heart was so full of joy that she almost had a smile on her face.

"Yuexue, but I found you."

A sweet voice came, and Shen Yuexue looked back, it was Shen Zhi, the only girl in the entire Shen family who was willing to be close to her.

"Why are you here, didn't you say, don't talk to me when there are people."

Shen Yuexue muttered quietly beside Shen Zhi, she knew that this girl was kind-hearted and didn't want her to be implicated by herself.

Shen Zhi grew up beside Shen Qian since he was a child, so he took special care of Shen Yuexue. Shen Yuexue understands that she also has her aunt Shen Qian as the backstage, but she is different from Shen Zhi, she used to be a veritable 'waste', even if her aunt has the heart to maintain it, everyone will be unconvinced.

But Shen Zhi has good qualifications, although she is only fifteen years old this year, she has already reached the fifth level of qi refining, so although she is good friends with herself, no one dares to despise her. Strength is respected, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, it is just human nature.

"What are you afraid of, others are afraid of her, I'm not afraid, everyone really has to revolve around her alone, hum."

Shen Zhi went out two days ago and was not in the house, but after he came back, he heard about what Shen Yan did to Shen Yuexue, and he came out to defend it today. She and Shen Yuexue have been playmates since childhood, they are the same age, and their relationship is naturally good, but since she became an intermediate disciple, the time between the two has become less and less, and it is difficult to maintain Shen Yuexue thoroughly.

Moreover, even the master cannot stand in the way of those gossip and intentional isolation. Fortunately, she has survived all these years and has not given up on herself, Shen Zhi has sympathy, pity, and admiration for Shen Yuexue.

"Don't be afraid, the master will be out of the customs in a few days, whether it is successful or not, as long as the master comes out, someone will make the decision for you." Shen Zhi comforted.

Shen Yuexue knew that there were some things that even her aunt couldn't interfere with, not to mention, she now had the ability to protect herself, and smiled faintly at Shen Zhi, Shen Yuexue changed the topic, but this warmth was precious, and Shen Yuexue quietly stayed in her heart.

"Shen Yuexue!"

With a shout, the two people who were chatting happily were interrupted, Shen Yuexue stepped forward, and the disciple in charge of assigning the task glanced at her with slanted eyes, and still held a small bamboo tube in front of Shen Yuexue, with an arrogant expression. Shen Zhi had a short temper, and immediately wanted to teach this guy who looked down on people a lesson, but was stopped by Shen Yuexue.

"Forget it, don't cause trouble."

Shen Zhi saw that Shen Yuexue was worried in her eyes, knowing that she was in trouble, they didn't dare to retaliate against themselves, but they would double down on bullying Yuexue, so they had to give up, slapped the table, and said with a gloomy face: "What about mine?" ”

When this person saw that it was Shen Zhi, he knew that he couldn't afford to mess with him, so he had to obediently rummage in a pile of bamboo tubes for a while before he stood up respectfully and put the bamboo tube in Shen Zhi's hand.

"Hmph, villain! Let's go. ”

Shen Zhi took Shen Yuexue's hand and left, but she didn't notice that she couldn't move when Shen Yuexue dragged her with only one hand just now.

"Qingshan killed a first-level demon beast?! They're crazy, don't they want your life if they ask you to kill the monsters? No, no, I have to go back to them with you, it's too bullying. ”

Shen Zhi saw the task on Shen Yuexue's note, his face was ugly and terrifying, although this level of demon beasts can be killed by monks from the first to third levels of Qi refining, but that is just a saying, if the first level of Qi refining encounters a first-level demon beast, it is good to be able to escape, let alone kill.

"Don't, you can't change anything when you go back, they don't dare to do such tricks and feet when they assign tasks, they must be ordered by the people above, what can be the result if you go to make trouble." Shen Yuexue said calmly, in fact, she was already scolding her mother in her heart.

'NND, it's good that it's now, a month ago, and that's what killed her. ’

"Forget it, I'll go with you, and I'll help you kill one." Shen Zhi knew that what Shen Yuexue said was not wrong, and he would only bring humiliation upon himself when he went back.

"It just so happens that my task is to kill the second-level demon beasts, let's go together, get there, finish yours first, and then go to be mine."

Shen Zhi's task is not easy, the second-level demon beast is not so easy to deal with, under normal circumstances, the two fifth-level qi refining layers are still a little more sure. Therefore, it is often two or three people who work together to do tasks and cooperate to kill several demon beasts, so that they can be sure.

"You and I are together, how can you team up with others again?"

Not everyone would agree to drag themselves back with Shen Yuexue. Shen Zhi did this, which was equivalent to killing the second-level demon beast by himself, and he was simply taking a risk.

"Don't worry, my strength is strong, what is a second-level demon beast!"

Shen Yuexue looked at Shen Zhi's expression, and when she heard such words, her heart warmed. Forget it, let Shen Zhi be the first to know, and help her by himself in a while.

"Okay, let's do it together."

Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she knew that it was dangerous for her to kill the demon beast alone, but she couldn't watch Yue Xue go to her death. The task of the Shen family is not to die or to be abolished, which is not negotiable.

……

Qingshan, deep in the mountains, this is the first time that Shen Yuexue has come to a place so close to the center, in the past, she was active in the periphery, and there are still a hundred and ten miles away from here. The two of them held their breath and moved forward with a small mind, and they had already arrived at the territory of the demon beast, and one accidentally provoked a high-level demon beast, so they had to eat it and walk around.

"Yuexue, listen, this is the cry of the alpine demon ape, they like to move in groups, although they are first-level demon beasts, but they are very difficult, you must stay away when you hear this sound in the future."

Shen Zhi took this opportunity to explain some knowledge of demon beasts to Shen Yuexue, Shen Yuexue listened carefully, nodding from time to time.

The two of them are afraid of encountering high-level demon beasts, so they only dare to move in the middle of the foothills, in fact, this green mountain is like the back garden of Changyun City, although there are many demon beasts in the central area, but the level is not high, it is said that the highest is only to the third level, and there is only a part of escape in front of the foundation monks. It's just that for them in the Qi refining period, if they encounter it, they will be nine deaths and no life.

"Look, that's a wind rabbit, although it is fast, but its attack ability is not strong, the weakest of the first-level demon beasts, let's catch it, you wait for me here."

Too lucky, when he met a good bully, Shen Zhi immediately showed his cultivation and ran towards the Wind Rabbit, Shen Yuexue just wanted to follow, but suddenly felt a strong wind coming from his back, hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, a dagger fell to the ground.

"Huh? Interesting. ”

A tall figure appeared in Shen Yuexue's sight. The face is wooden, but the light in the eyes is frightening.
