The Shen family is one of the top five largest families in Wanxiang Town.

The reason is very simple. The Shen family has a monk at the second level of Pulse Condensation Realm - the patriarch Shen Polang.

Therefore, even if the clan leader's younger brother Shen Wufeng defected and was killed, the Shen family's strength was not greatly affected and they still maintained their original position.

The Shen family's Dazhai was built less than fifty miles away from Wanxiang Town.

The size of Dazhai is naturally in line with the Shen family's status in Wanxiang Town. Not only does it occupy a vast area with mountains and lakes, but the buildings inside are also extremely elegant.

But deep inside the Shen family's stronghold, there is a courtyard that seems out of place with the other surrounding buildings.

In terms of location, only senior members of the Shen family are qualified to live here.

In fact, the people who live there do have a very high position in the Shen family.

She is the only daughter of the head of the Shen family, Shen Polang, and is now a disciple of Broken Star Tower, Shen Qing, who has the body of a natural prison-suppressing god.

For a person like this, if the courtyard he lives in is not luxurious, it should be made of exquisite materials and have a large number of servants.

But of all the advantages of the courtyard where Shen Qing lives, I am afraid that only its quietness can be appreciated.

The small yard is surrounded by a fence. Due to the passage of time, the yard and the fence are slightly worn. In some places, there are signs of obvious damage and subsequent repairs.

There is also a large open space around the courtyard. The nearest building is at least two hundred feet away from the small courtyard.

If you look down from a high place, you may not be able to help but have the illusion that this small courtyard and its owner are isolated by other surrounding buildings and Shen family members.

For more than ten years, Shen Qing has been the only one living in this small courtyard. She has no servants to serve her and refuses to be served by others. She relies on herself for everything.

She usually doesn't talk to other people. Apart from practicing, the only way to rest besides sleeping is to sit under the corridor outside the house, hugging her knees and looking up at the sky.

Sometimes I look at it and it’s late.

Occasionally, members of the Shen family who passed by and saw this scene couldn't help but shake their heads and take a breath.

The Shen family is a genius in cultivation, but has such a withdrawn temperament. The only person in the entire Shen family who can say a few words to her is probably her biological father.

But the so-called ability to speak two sentences is really just two sentences.

Because Shen Qing almost never steps out of her small courtyard, and generally, members of the Shen family would not pass by nearby, Shen Qing's sense of presence in the Shen family is actually very low.

This eldest lady is now seventeen years old. In the past seventeen years, there are probably only a few things that the whole family can know.

The first was her birth, the second was that she was found to have the body of a prison-suppressing elephant, the third was that she was abducted by her second uncle, and the fourth was that she insisted on not going to the Shen family that had been discussed. Xuantian Valley, and decided to go to Broken Star Tower.

Not many people knew about her return this time.

Only a very small number of tribesmen, when passing by the small courtyard in late August, suddenly discovered that someone seemed to have cleaned up the courtyard that had been abandoned for several months.

The fence has been washed. Although it is very old, it can be seen that it is very clean.

There were originally some flowers planted in the yard, but because no one took care of them, they withered long ago. But this time, these dead flowers were also cleared away.

Originally, a corner of the house that was damaged due to heavy rains has also been repaired.

However, because there were no lights on in the courtyard at night, the Shen family members were not sure whether it was Shen Qing or someone from the Shen Polang faction who did all this.

But on the clear night of August 17, bright candles suddenly lit up in the house in the small courtyard.

At the same time, two figures were reflected in the window of the house.

One of them, the Shen family members naturally recognized as Shen Qing, but the other one was actually a man!

Soon, the news reached Shen Polang's ears.

Shen Polang, who was dealing with family affairs in the study, suddenly frowned and asked someone to find out who was in the room. At the same time, he also issued another order. The news tonight must be completely blocked from the outside world, even from the Shen family. , and cannot be leaked easily.

As for the man who appeared in the house, he had no intention of concealing his identity.

Early the next morning, Chu Yan appeared in the yard openly, took the towel handed over by Shen Qing, and wiped his face.

When this news reached Shen Polang's ears, the patriarch of the Shen family was so angry that his beard suddenly stood up.

"What did you say? He stayed at A-Qing's house last night?" Although Shen Polang tried his best to lower his voice, the anger in his tone could not be concealed.

"It was... one night... I didn't leave..." The Shen family member responsible for reporting felt the pressure from the clan leader and said without difficulty.

For a woman who has not yet left the court to let a man stay in her house for one night, even in this civilized Xianyu Continent, it is not acceptable to ordinary people.

What's more, during this period, Shen Polang was about to use Shen Qing's identity to make a big splash. Otherwise, he would not insist on asking Shen Qing to come back from Broken Star Tower.

"This girl, this girl, when did she become so disobedient! Is she planning to use this method to resist?" Shen Polang gritted his teeth, suddenly exerted force with his fingers, and with a click, he suddenly tore off a corner of the marble table.

With another violent squeeze of his hand, the hard marble suddenly turned into powder in Shen Polang's palm.

"Clan leader, according to what I observed all night last night..." The Shen family member hesitated for a moment, but still responded truthfully, "The eldest lady and that Chu Yan were discussing something all night long, and the candlelight was always on, so I can see Very clear."

This tribesman obviously wanted to comfort Shen Polang: your daughter did not do that kind of thing with others.

But Shen Polang's face was obviously even more ugly: "What can you explain? Being able to stay with a man is a big problem in itself! I have been in that yard for nearly ten years, but Ah Qing has not allowed me to step in. Yes! I couldn't even get into the yard, but that Chu Yan even got into the house! At most, they didn't last night, how did you know..."

Shen Polang obviously wanted to say that nothing happened to them last night. How do you know if it has happened before? But he quickly realized that as a father, it was really not good for him to be so picky about his daughter behind his back, so he had to Hate, shut up.

This clan member was so frightened that he didn't dare to vent his anger for a long time. After Shen Polang calmed down a little, he carefully asked: "The clan leader - should we ask that Chu Yan to leave for a while? After all, in a few days, that day is coming. ,He is an outsider here——"
