Chapter Twenty-Four: Accidental Discovery

"Hey"

Shen Li also sighed, he knew the situation of the family very well, especially in terms of strength, the Yang and Qi families, as old forces, had a strong foundation and many young children, such as the Qi family, there were thirty descendants of this generation, but the Shen family was only nine.

Moreover, compared with the Yang and Qi families, except for Shen Tianxing and Shen Li, the rest of the Shen family's juniors are all mediocre in cultivation, and there is nothing outstanding about them, especially in terms of peak combat power, both of them have nine-stage masters, but the Shen family only has an eight-stage Shen Tianxing, which is a high and low judgment.

"Now that the Yang and Qi families have rejected our Shen family in the business, although we will not starve to death, I am afraid that this huge family business will be unsustainable. Shen Ze said.

Shen Li nodded, it is difficult to move an inch without money, this principle is applicable everywhere, not to mention that the Shen family is still one of the three major forces in Jiang Yuancheng, and the consumption is huge, without the support of strong financial resources, the Shen family will not be able to continue at all.

"Okay, don't say it, it's useless to say it, I hope your grandfather can come up with some way"

"Hmm. Shen Li nodded, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, what can he do? The Yang family and the Qi family are determined to suppress him Shen family, and the business is unsustainable, is it possible to expect silver to fall from the sky?

After such a conversation, Shen Li secretly paid attention, and found that not only Shen Ze, but also many elders in the family had gloomy expressions and rarely smiled, obviously they were very clear about the situation of the family. In such a situation, I'm afraid no one will be happy, right?

"What to do?"

At night, Shen Li casually found an open space to sit down, looking up at the starry sky, although his cultivation was smooth, it could not solve the crisis in front of him.

Business is not as good as cultivation, maybe you have bumped into shit luck and can break through many realms in one fell swoop, but in the family business, you can only operate step by step, the Shen family was just a small family at the beginning, and it took nearly a hundred years to have today's family business. Falling into such a dangerous situation now is not something that can be solved in a moment.

Although Shen Ze and Shen Hongtian both said that Shen Li should not be distracted, and put their minds on cultivation, it was impossible for Shen Li not to be distracted.

Under the nest, how many eggs are gone?

If the Shen family really declined, it would affect not only one or two people, but also the lives of everyone in the Shen family would change because of this, and Shen Li was no exception.

Moreover, Shen Li still has a sense of belonging to this family in his heart, after all, this is where he grew up, there are so many people who love him, and there are also people he loves, he must protect this family.

"By the way, I heard that the manor that Jiang Tianluan lost to me in a bet a few days ago has been handed over, so I will go over tomorrow and take a look, maybe I can subsidize some silver taels to the family. ”

Shen Li suddenly remembered such a stubble, some time ago, when he was fighting, Jiang Tianluan had taken a manor as a bet, and then Shen Li won, in full view of everyone, Jiang Tianluan was not good at repaying the debt after all, and finally sent the title deed of this manor over.

The next morning, after Shen Li had breakfast, he took Lin Wan'er and some guards and left the mansion and went straight to the outskirts of the city.

This manor was given to the Jiang family by the Yang family as a dowry for their daughter's marriage a long time ago, and later because Jiang Tianluan wanted to come, he asked for it.

But after a quarter of an hour's effort, not long after Shen Li left the city gate, he saw the outline of a huge manor not far ahead.

The manor is very large, from the outside, it covers an area of two or three acres, and the gate and wall are quite atmospheric, presumably the Yang family wants to please the Jiang family and deliberately renovates it.

"Wow, that's big."

After watching it for a while, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but admire.

"It's really not small, I can't imagine that this Jiang Tianluan is really willing. ”

Shen Li also nodded, and finally had a hint of joy in his heart, such a large manor, even if it was sold, it could be worth a lot of silver taels, at least it could alleviate some of the family's financial tensions.

"Young Master Shen Li. At this time, a middle-aged man walked out, dressed in green clothes, and was a housekeeper of the Shen family, surnamed Sun.

"Steward Sun, it turns out that you are here. Shen Li said hello.

"The young master is polite. For some reason, this housekeeper Sun's face was not very good-looking, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Steward Sun, what are you?" Shen Li also saw it, quite strange, and asked.

"Hey, the young master doesn't know, this Jiang family sent the manor over, but" Steward Sun's expression was very ugly, and he stopped talking: "Young master, go in and take a look yourself." ”

Shen Li was strange, glanced at Steward Sun suspiciously, and strode in, but when he walked into the door and saw the scene in front of him, his expression also changed.

"What's going on?" Shen Li's expression was gloomy and angry.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan'er looked strange, ran in, and suddenly saw that the manor was in ruins, and there was hardly a good brick or tile in sight, and as for the pavilion, there was not even a ghost, as if it had been shattered by life.

"That's what happened when I came, and I questioned them in a fit of rage, but they told me that it was in disrepair, and that was normal. Steward Sun smiled coldly: "What is the disrepair, it is clear that the Jiang family and the Yang family are unwilling to give this property to our Shen family so easily, and deliberately demolished this place into ruins." ”

"How can they be like this? It's too unreasonable!" Lin Wan'er was also angry, her little face was red with anger, and she paused.

"Shameless!" Shen Li shook his hand heavily, snorted coldly, the cold light flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect this Jiang Tianluan to be shameless, knowing that he couldn't rely on it, but he resorted to such a method.

"A ruin, everything has been demolished, such a place is estimated to not even be able to sell the price of farmland, this surname Jiang is really ruthless!" Steward Sun gritted his teeth and said, he also knew that this manor was won by Shen Li's hard work, and such an act naturally caused him great anger.

"Okay, your surname is Jiang, I underestimate you, this dumb man owes me to admit it, I hope you don't fall into my hands next time, otherwise you will feel better." Shen Li sneered, and no longer wanted to be angry, after all, they did this just to see how angry his Shen family looked, and Shen Li naturally wouldn't let him get his wish.

"Young Master, what now?" asked Steward Sun.

"No matter, let it go too, you pack up, get ready to go back, just leave a few people here to watch." Shen Lidao.

"Well, that's all there is to it. Steward Sun nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing this situation, the guards who followed Shen Li all looked ugly, and Lin Wan'er clenched her pair of pink fists tightly, eager to beat this Jiang Gongzi who she had never seen before.

Shen Li had nothing to do, so he strolled behind the ruins.

Jiang Tianluan did it neatly, and he didn't know how he got it, there was not even a good brick or tile left in a huge manor, and there was scum everywhere, it was estimated that Jiang Tianluan really hated Shen Li, and regarded this manor as him, and he wanted to smash it to pieces.

""

said that he was not angry, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he suddenly stepped on a pile of gravel in front of him.

"Bang"

Shen Li's kick used a lot of force, and some of the larger stones were directly kicked to pieces by him, and the smaller ones were also torn apart and flew to the side.

"Oh, young master, what are you doing?" Lin Wan'er on the side was startled and complained.

"Huh?"

Shen Li suddenly let out a startled sigh, and Huo Ran turned his head and looked in one direction.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Wan'er was surprised, tiptoeing to look in the same direction as Shen Li.

But Shen Li ignored him, looked at it for a while, and suddenly walked in one direction.

When a pile of stones was flying around just now, Shen Li's afterglow suddenly caught a stone that seemed to be slightly purple, the color was still secondary, and the reason why it attracted Shen Li's attention was because this stone was not shattered under Shen Li's foot just now.

You must know that now Shen Li's strength is already beyond the eighth stage, and this kick is also strong, even a piece of iron ore has to be broken into two sections, let alone a stone.

Shen Li was strange, bent down to pick up this strange stone, and looked left and right.

The stone is about the size of a child's fist, lilac in color, and irregular in shape.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, except for being harder. Shen Li looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything unusual.

"Young master, look, this stone seems to be transparent, and the strips inside are like purple smoke, so beautiful!" Lin Wan'er suddenly shouted.

Originally, Shen Li was about to throw away the stone casually, but Lin Wan'er's words suddenly made him stunned, as if he remembered something, and suddenly picked up the stone and looked at it carefully.

"Lilac, transparent, with purple smoke-like lines, isn't it?"

Shen Li muttered, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Shen Li's appearance, Lin Wan'er was startled and asked cautiously.

But Shen Li didn't seem to hear her words, and suddenly activated the internal energy in the meridians, and then controlled the internal energy to let it flow into the lilac stone.

"Young master, you" Lin Wan'er was dissatisfied with Shen Li ignoring her, and was about to be angry, but her expression suddenly froze, and her round mouth was wide open, almost able to stuff an egg in.

Under the urging of Shen Li's internal strength, this originally inconspicuous stone suddenly lit up, and then strips of lilac smoke suddenly rose, swirling in the air, like purple dragons.

"Purple smoke stone, you can't be wrong, it's definitely purple smoke stone!" Shen Li looked at the purple mist rising from the stone, and suddenly muttered to himself, his eyes were bright, as if he had found a peerless treasure, and his expression was surprised.
