Chapter 41: Beauty Under the Moon
The Shen family in Fengdu City, as one of the two strongest families in Fengdu City, although the family career is gradually declining now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and this huge mansion located in the east of the city alone is bigger than any family in Wuling City that Ye Xiu has been to before!
In front of the huge main gate, there are dozens of powerful men guarding them, each of whom has a compelling spiritual pressure, and the lowest cultivation is all those with a first-grade Taoist realm.
At this time, a young man with a delicate face and a blue-gray robe was stopping in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, looking at the two vigorous characters "Shen Mansion" on the plaque at the door with great interest.
Seeing that although Ye Xiu was dressed ordinarily, he had an extraordinary bearing, giving people an unusual feeling, so he asked tentatively:
"This son, but there is something to do in my Shen Mansion?"
"Well, there is indeed something, I don't know if Shen Mengqi is in the house?"
Time is precious, Ye Xiu asked straight to the point.
When the leading man saw that Ye Xiu actually called his eldest lady by her name, coupled with the impression he had given himself before, with his years of experience in knowing people, he judged that this person knew his own young lady, so he hurriedly said more politely:
"Childe, my young lady is indeed in the house, but the young lady is in a bad mood today, and I don't think I will see any guests. ”
After listening to Dahan's words, Ye Xiu suddenly thought of Qiqi's little girl, could it be that after so many days, she didn't wake up?
"You just say that Ye Xiu is visiting, and she will come out to greet her. ”
"Who's so loud, who dares to let my family go out to greet each other!"
As soon as Ye Xiu's words fell, a snarky voice came from inside the door, and then a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out, he first looked at Ye Xiu's dress, and then glanced at the gatekeeper who was fighting against Ye Xiu just now, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Shen Er, you are really getting more and more disagreeable! This kind of poor and sour country boy, what do you have to say to him, just drive him away!"
"But, but..."
"Nothing, but not beyond!"
The big man still wanted to speak, but he was directly scolded by the middle-aged man who was called the big butler, this person used to rely on the relationship between the elders of the clan, and he has been flying and domineering, and the people of the Shen family dare not speak out on weekdays!
The middle-aged man saw that the big man didn't dare to speak anymore, so he nodded with satisfaction, but when he saw that Ye Xiu was still standing there without moving, he couldn't help but feel a wave of annoyance again.
"What's the matter? Stinky boy, didn't you hear what Uncle Ben said just now? Don't you hurry up at this time, do you want me to ask you to leave?"
Ye Xiu was not moved at all, he just looked at him with a smile and said:
"Are you sure you want me to get out?"
"Alas, I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!"
When the middle-aged man heard Ye Xiu say this, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and he was about to roll up his sleeves to teach Ye Xiu a lesson, but a slap was slapped in his face with a "snap" in the air, and the slap hit him very hard, and he directly spun in the air before falling to the ground, but he was also a little cultivated, and while sighing that he wanted to get up from the ground, he scolded in his mouth:
"Damn! who doesn't have long eyes, dares to beat the old..."
However, before a "Lao Tzu" could speak, he swallowed his voice, because it was no one else standing in front of him at this time, it was the eldest lady in the mansion who was known for her brutality, Shen Mengqi!
It's just that to his and the guards present, what was dumbfounded was that the eldest lady, who was originally rude and domineering, actually showed a shy look at this time, and didn't look at the middle-aged housekeeper on the ground, but said in a gentle tone that they had never seen before:
"Ye Gongzi, you're finally here! This minion didn't bother you just now!"
Just now, Ye Xiu wanted to teach the middle-aged man a lesson by himself, but the divine sense released from the outside discovered Shen Mengqi's breath, so he watched the changes that appeared just now, and when he saw Shen Mengqi's performance at this time, he was also very satisfied in his heart, and smiled:
"It's okay! My matter is solved, I happened to pass by the Shen Mansion today, so I came to visit. ”
Shen Mengqi somehow, after returning from the boat, from time to time recalled the figure of Ye Xiu when he appeared in the ancient city that day, plus for so many years, Ye Xiu was the first person besides his father to know his secret, and when he saw Ye Xiu at this time, he actually had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
At this time, under the shock of everyone again, she directly pulled Ye Xiu's arm and said:
"Since Ye Gongzi's affairs are all done, it is better to stay in my Shen Mansion for a few more days, so as to repay your kindness that day. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Ye Xiu into the mansion, leaving the middle-aged housekeeper who was shocked into a cold sweat, lying on the ground with a cloudy face...
The scenery of Shen Mansion is extremely beautiful, and there are many fascinating places along the way, Shen Mengqi couldn't help but introduce the scenery everywhere to Ye Xiu, a pair of soft and boneless jade hands tightly grasped Ye Xiu's arm, making the latter blush slightly.
It's just that the careful Ye Xiu quickly discovered that Shen Mengqi, who looked happy on the surface, had a faint sadness between her eyebrows, but it was not broken, and she visited it until the evening, and after dark, Ye Xiu was arranged to live in an extremely elegant courtyard.
Ye Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers coming from time to time in the courtyard, and thought about what had happened recently, but he was suddenly woken up by a soft knock on the door:
"Ye Gongzi, are you resting, can Mengqi enter the house?"
"Oh, Miss Shen, please come in. ”
Ye Xiu didn't know what happened when Shen Mengqi came to find him so late.
With a squeak, the wooden door was opened, and Shen Mengqi, who was wearing a pink tulle skirt, entered the room, this long skirt fit extremely well, and it set off her delicate figure, under the reflection of the moonlight shining through the window, it looked extremely moving, and Ye Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Before Ye Xiu could speak, Shen Mengqi came to Ye Xiu's body in two steps, and a faint girlish fragrance came to her face, only to see her quickly stretch out a white finger and block Ye Xiu's lips that wanted to speak, and the other hand gently pulled on the jade belt around her waist, and the entire light gauze dress slipped off, showing her flawless jade body in front of Ye Xiu's eyes at a glance.
Ye Xiu was also shocked by the fragrant scene in front of him and didn't know what to do for a while, but Shen Mengqi's smooth calves took a step forward slightly, and the jade arm tightly wrapped around Ye Xiu's waist, and at the same time leaned towards Ye Xiu.
But at this moment, her body suddenly froze in place, and she couldn't move forward any further, it was Ye Xiu who performed the technique of controlling the crane and catching the dragon at the critical moment, Ye Xiu measured his face at this time, took his eyes off Shen Mengqi's body, and easily put the light veil she had fallen on the ground back onto her body, and then said softly:
"You don't have to!"
At this time, Shen Mengqi's pretty face had already become bright, but the determination that she had already made up her mind was suddenly interrupted by Ye Xiu, I don't know what she thought, and there were tears in her eyes.
Ye Xiu was most afraid of seeing a woman's tears in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, so he had to quietly hug her in his arms.
At this time, the spell on Shen Mengqi's body had disappeared, but she did not continue her previous actions, but lay on the young man's chest tightly and sobbed, of course, no one knew at this time, why this strange woman was crying in her heart...
When Shen Mengqi woke up the next day, she found that she had fallen asleep crying in Ye Xiu's arms like this, and when she looked at Ye Xiu at this time, she was no longer as bold and decisive as last night.
Ye Xiu saw that he woke up, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he changed the topic and said:
"Actually, when I came to the Shen family this time, I have another news to tell you about the Shen family. ”
Shen Mengqi was actually a very smart woman, she immediately heard Ye Xiu's intentions, and hurriedly cooperated:
"Oh, I don't know what the news Shen Gongzi is about?"
"About your former head of the family, Shen Yuehai!"
As soon as his words came out, Shen Mengqi hurriedly asked excitedly:
"Ye Gongzi knows the news of my uncle?" But seeing that Ye Xiu's face was not good-looking, he guessed something a little, so he hurriedly said:
Ye Gongzi doesn't have to scruples, to put it bluntly, there has been no news of his uncle for so many years, and he has already encountered an accident. ”
Looking at Shen Mengqi's determined eyes, Ye Xiu picked out everything that happened in Yuxi Town, picked out the content related to Shen Xiao's two families, and informed Shen Mengqi of everything.
Regarding the life and death of his uncle Shen Yuehai, although Shen Mengqi had been mentally prepared for a long time, after hearing that his uncle was made a corpse demon by the Xiao family, he still couldn't help crying.
However, this matter is very important, and Shen Mengqi directly took Ye Xiu to meet his father, that is, Shen Yuefeng, the contemporary head of the Shen family.
After Shen Yuefeng heard the news brought by Ye Xiu, he also beat his chest for a while, hating himself for not being able to slaughter the Xiao family!
When Ye Xiu saw this scene, he said another purpose of his trip, that side was to join forces with the Shen family to destroy the Xiao family, the Xiao family did such a hurtful thing, Ye Xiu naturally would not stand idly by!
The father and daughter of the Shen family already knew at this time that Ye Xiu was a cultivator of the first-grade Taoist realm, and when they heard that he was willing to help the Shen family, they were even more overjoyed, and Shen Mengqi's father, Shen Yuehai, hurriedly invited Ye Xiu to meet the elders of the Shen family to discuss important matters.
This Supreme Elder of the Shen family is called Shen Tianyou, such as the Supreme Elder of the Xiao Family, who is a strong man of the same era, and is also a cultivator in the middle of the Yipin Daoist Realm, the reason why the Shen family can stand still is because of him.
The place where Shen Yuefeng took Ye Xiu to see Shen Tianyou was the ancestral hall of the Shen family, Shen Tianyou dedicated his life to the family, and now that the family is gradually declining, he feels ashamed of his ancestors, so he stays in the ancestral hall all day to repent.
As soon as he entered the ancestral hall of the Shen family, Ye Xiu was attracted by the portrait of the ancestor of the Shen family in the middle of the ancestral hall.
It's just that what attracted Ye Xiu was not these, but a token worn by the middle-aged man around his waist, and that token was exactly the same as the token that Ye Xiu found in the belly of the corpse demon.
At this time, Shen Tianyou also listened to Shen Yuefeng talk about the causes and consequences of the matter, and he was also amazed that the young man in front of him was actually a first-grade Taoist realm powerhouse!
At this time, seeing that Ye Xian was fascinated by the portrait of his ancestor, he couldn't help but ask out loud: "Little friend, I don't know if there is anything unusual found in this portrait?"
Ye Xiu didn't speak, took out the token from the storage ring and handed it to Shen Tianyou and said, I don't know if Shen senior denied this token, Shen Tianyou was puzzled at first, and after seeing the things in his hand, he suddenly burst out with joy and said:
"It's... This is a family token handed down from our ancestors!"
