Chapter 273 Why! (1)
Really!
Shen Tang had never taken Shen Qian seriously.
If not for the circular ring, he wouldn’t even bother to look at her.
The Shen Family was a family with a history of many years and had successfully gained a foothold in the capital.
Back then, when Shen Qian’s grandfather left and moved to Qinghe City, he basically had nothing to do with the Shen Family anymore.
To put it simply, Shen Tang represented the direct line, while Shen Qian represented the collateral line.
It would be a disgrace to the Shen Family for such a marginal figure to be called a Shen.
Because of this, Shen Tang thought nothing of Shen Qian.
After arriving at Qinghe City, he did a series of investigations. She was the only one left after her family died.
At that time, Shen Tang did not even have the thought of taking revenge. Even though the culprit who caused the destruction of their family, the Shi Family, had already perished,
Shen Tang did not feel anything.
He had come to Qinghe City only for the circular ring.
As for the fate of Shen Qian’s family, it had nothing to do with him.
For an ordinary office worker like Shen Qian, the best connections she could have were ninth-grade martial artists.
Would Shen Tang be afraid of a ninth-grade martial artist?
What a joke.
Therefore, when Su Jingxing said that he wanted to kill him and take the circular ring, not only was Shen Tang not afraid, he even felt like laughing
However, a palm strike suddenly fell from the sky, smashing Shen Tang to the ground and creating a huge pit. Shen Tang was severely injured. He did not expect this at all.
This sudden change caused Shen Tang to feel intense pain all over her body. However, he momentarily forgot about the pain and his mind went blank.
I am the Second Master of the capital’s Shen Family, the next patriarch of the Shen Family, a fourth-grade expert, Shen Tang.
I was actually struck to the ground and sunk into a pit?
I’m a fourth-grade expert!
How could I be defenseless?
No, more like I didn’t sense anything from the beginning to the end.
How…
How did this happen?
Third-grade?
Yes, third-grade!
The cloaked man is a third-grade martial artist!
Shen Qian actually knows a third-grade expert and was able to get him to help her!
This damn b*stard, she actually, actually…
“Ah! Ha! Ha!”
Intense pain swept through his entire body. Shen Tang finally recovered from his shock, confusion, disbelief, and anger. He opened her mouth to scream, but his injuries were too severe. His blood and Qi surged, and he couldn’t even howl. All he could do was stifle a low snarl that sounded like he was panting.
His wide eyes were bloodshot. He raised his head stiffly and stared at Su Jingxing.
“You… you…”
“You were the one who said that it’s no problem,” said Su Jingxing calmly. He continued, “You already said that there would be no problem. Of course I have to fulfill your wish, right?”
“Pu!”
Shen Tang coughed up a mouthful of blood. The vital energy in his body weakened once again.
The three of them were in an area far away from the crowd.
Although the sound from earlier had attracted the attention of a few people in the distance, as there was no follow-up, they only took a few glances before looking away.
As a result, no one bothered Su Jingxing, Shen Qian, and Shen Tang.
No one cared whether Shen Tang growled or spat blood.
Shen Qian, who was the only one who was shocked and stunned, almost clapped her hands in joy when she came back to her senses.
Over the past few days, Shen Tang’s coercion, bribery, and undisguised cold killing intent had tortured her physically and mental. She was fearful, terrified, and uneasy, wishing she could end her own life.
Su Jingxing’s palm had expelled all the gloom in her heart.
“What is the circular ring?”
She took a deep breath and ran over. Looking at Shen Tang, she asked, “Why is it that none of you came to look for it all these years, yet you appeared these few days?” “Cough, cough…”
Shen Tang coughed up blood and said with difficulty, “You… you think I’ll tell you?”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.” Su Jingxing interrupted. “I’m giving you a chance to speak and leave behind your last words. Since you don’t want to speak, fine. I can send you to meet the ancestors of your Shen Family.”
As he spoke, the true energy transformed from the true essence in his palm swirled and was aimed at Shen Tang’s head.
In an instant, a terrifying sense of danger enveloped him. Shen Tang, who still wanted to be stubborn, surrendered.
“No, no, I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”
He could sense that Su Jingxing wasn’t joking. He really wanted to kill him.
Compared to his life, a moment of cowardice and shame was nothing.
“I’ll speak, I’ll speak.”
Shen Tang panted and said with difficulty, “Once I do, let me off! If you don’t agree, then kill me. I’ll die anyway!”
Su Jingxing looked at Shen Qian.
“…Sure.” Shen Qian gritted her teeth. “As long as you tell me the truth, I won’t kill
you.”
Shen Tang slowed down his breathing and spoke slowly.
“S-Someone came to me and told me about it. He said that one of the Shen family’s two circular rings is in Qinghe City. That person provided me with your information and the relevant situation.
“After I came over and investigated, I realized that it was indeed the case, so I had the idea to capture you and take back the circular ring.”
“Who is that person?” asked Shen Qian.
“Zhang Zaiyue!”
“Zhang Zaiyue?” Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “Is this person from the Sky Water Chamber of Commerce?”
“Yes.” Shen Tang nodded. “Zhang Zaiyue, the previous president of the Sky Water Chamber of Commerce, a fourth-grade martial artist. Five years ago, after he stepped down from his position as president, he went to the capital. I got to know him by chance. After interacting from time to time over the past few years, our relationship has been pretty good. A few days ago, he said that he received news that one of the Shen Family’s two circular rings appeared in Qinghe City and gave me information about Shen Qian. After that, I secretly investigated and realized that it was true…”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Su Jingxing’s figure swayed and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he had another person in his hand.
Su Jingxing grabbed the other party’s neck with one hand and held him in midair. He said, “Is this guy one of yours or Zhang Zaiyue’s?”
Shen Tang was stunned. Shen Qian was also a little dazed.
Too fast!
Su Jingxing disappeared and reappeared in less than three seconds.
And he came back with a person.
Shen Qian had no impression of this old man who was being held by his neck.
On the other hand, when Shen Tang came back to his senses, his expression was ugly. He growled, “He’s one of Zhang Zaiyue’s men! The old fellow is Zhang Zaiyue’s lackey. I’ve seen him from afar twice! He’s nearby? The old fellow is monitoring me? D*mn it, there’s something wrong with Zhang Zaiyue!”
“Don’t you think it’s too late to realize that now?” asked Su Jingxing coolly.
The old fellow had concealed his aura and vital energy completely.
He had most likely cultivated some secret concealment ability.
As a result, Shen Qian did not realize. Shen Tang, who was in the fourth-grade, also did not notice for a while.
However, Su Jingxing’s soul power was powerful and his perception range was wide. When the old fellow appeared in the small forest across the river, he sensed it immediately.
He was monitoring Shen Tang and himself at the same time.
There was clearly something wrong!
“What does Zhang Zaiyue want? What does he want?”
Shen Tang murmured, shame and anger appearing on his pale face.
He was unaware that the old fellow had appeared. What did this mean?
This meant that he had been under their surveillance for the past few days.
A dignified fourth-grade expert was actually being followed and monitored by a seventh-grade martial artist without knowing
He, a fourth-grade martial artist, had been completely humiliated!
