The seventeen-year-old boy still has a sense of youthfulness that has not completely receded from his face, but his eyes are so deep that it is difficult to see through them, as if he has been in a cold pool for thousands of years. Under the seemingly calm appearance, there is actually a turbulent undercurrent. .
Whether you reach the other side smoothly or get buried in the undercurrent, it depends on your choice.
The Fifth Elder, who was never stubborn when it was time to give in, didn't waste a single moment of his brainpower on making a choice and rushed towards the other shore without hesitation.
Even an ant knows how to live a secret life. He is a dignified clan elder. In the future, he will lead the Shen clan in Yuzhou. He will be loved and supported by thousands of people in Yuzhou. A great future is still waiting for him. He is stupid. Without thinking, he ran over to die.
So, when meeting Xie Beiming's cold gaze, the fifth elder immediately realized that self-examination alone was not enough.
Without thinking, he immediately turned his head to look at Shen Qiqi with interest and bowed.
"Qiqi, it's all Uncle Wu's fault. He was confused and said those stupid things indiscriminately. Uncle Wu is here to apologize to you."
The attitude is particularly sincere and serious.
With that bow, his forehead almost touched his knees.
Only then did Xie Beiming withdraw the pressure that enveloped the fifth elder.
He was determined to help Shen Qiqi vent her evil anger, so the pressure he unleashed was only directed at the fifth elder. No one else was implicated, and no one noticed anything strange.
In their opinion, the fifth elder apologized to Shen Qiqi because he truly realized his mistake.
Only Shen Qiqi knew that this was definitely not the case.
This Fifth Elder, who hated her so much that his gums were going bald, would use this self-slap in the face to apologize to her, that would be damned.
Xie Beiming must be doing something secretly behind his back.
But no matter what Xie Beiming did secretly behind his back, the starting point was to protect her. Shen Qiqi suddenly felt warm in her heart, a sense of happiness of being held in someone's hand and being carefully cared for, surrounding her like a tide.
Shen Qiqi was in a good mood and forgave the fifth elder very generously. She also comforted him with a word of comfort.
It can be said that she advances and retreats appropriately, is polite and measured, and is very aware of the overall situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. This makes the clan elders who were originally worried about her lack of calmness feel relieved, and they once again feel happy that "I have a daughter in my family."
There was only the mad roar of the inner anger of the fifth elder.
It was at the moment when the pressure on him receded that he realized that he had been threatened by Xie Beiming alone.
The hateful thing is that even if he realizes that he is being threatened alone, he is completely powerless because the psychological shadow that the coercion just brought to him is too heavy.
It was so severe that he still has chills down his spine.
The son Xie Ruze gave birth to was really terrible. At such a young age, I never expected that his cultivation would be so profound!
This seventeen-year-old Lingzong realm monk is probably the only one in the entire cultivation world!
The fifth elder wiped away the cold sweat and closed his mouth in a desperate manner and said no more.
If he were to know that Xie Beiming was now in the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, just to make it look less shocking, he had changed his cultivation from the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage to the late Mahayana stage, and now he was even lowering his cultivation level to In the Lingzong realm, I am afraid that the fifth elder will be so scared that he will crawl into a mouse hole.
On the other side, Shen Qiqi told the elders why she was sure that the children who were kidnapped in the city last night were not Shen Ning'er's fault.
Similar to Shen Qiqi's previous reaction, several clan elders also looked solemn after hearing this.
Although several clan elders had already expected the evil spirits to enter the city, they still had a trace of luck in their hearts. Now that this trace of luck has been exposed, all that is left is panic.
Yuzhou City is equipped with a protective barrier, but last night those evil spirits were able to escape the interception of the protective barrier and sneak into the city. The elders like them were not aware of this. It can be seen that these evil spirits sneaked into the city. , it is definitely not an ordinary little evil or evil spirit.
There are so many people gathered in the city now. If these powerful evil spirits want to go on a killing spree in the city, we don't know how many people will die.
The clan elders, including Shen Qiqi, all felt that the evil spirit that sneaked into the city last night was because of its strength and was able to avoid the interception of the city protection barrier. No one thought that there was a thief in the house.
Shen Qiqi originally wanted to follow Shen Ning'er's clue and explore Jiuying's lair first.
Unexpectedly, things arose out of thin air along the way, and a child was kidnapped.
The plan to visit Jiuying's lair had to be put on hold for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qiqi frowned and said, "Those evil spirits abducted so many children overnight, and there are age limits for the children. It seems that they were not just trying to kill people, they probably wanted to use those children for some kind of Purpose, since there is another purpose, those children may still be alive, we must find a way to rescue them, and the speed must be fast."
It’s not like the clan elders haven’t thought about saving people.
But the question is: Yuzhou City is not big, but it is not small. Those evil spirits are hiding in the dark. Where are they going to save people?
Furthermore, the city is currently in chaos, and there are still a lot of crying people around the door waiting for them to comfort them. The city protection barrier is also waiting for them to inspect and repair it. At the same time, they have to give an explanation to the people... There are many things waiting for them. They do it.
Shen Qiqi also thought about these issues that the clan elders were worried about.
Her cold and calm eyes swept over the faces of the clan elders, and she assigned tasks in an orderly manner: "Master Xie and I will save those children, provide security in the city, and appease the people. It will be up to the clan elders."
Several clan elders were pulling their hair out in worry. After hearing what Shen Qiqi said, they all looked at her in shock.
The Great Elder said anxiously: "No, those evil spirits can avoid the city protection barrier and sneak into the city quietly. This shows that their strength should not be underestimated. You and Mr. Xie..."
The First Elder wants to say that you and Mr. Xie are still children. There is no reason for you children to charge into the battle, while we old guys huddle in the rear and enjoy safety.
However, as the words came to his lips, the elder suddenly remembered Shen Qiqi's feat of strangling tens of thousands of evil spirits in front of the city gate that day. Looking at his facial features, although he looked a little green, his cultivation was far ahead of those of their clan. The elder Xie Beiming and the Great Elder silently swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.
These old guys are really old.
But so what?
They cannot convert age into cultivation.
The First Elder sighed silently in his heart as the waves in the Yangtze River push back the waves behind him, and then he changed his words and told Shen Qiqi: "Then you and Mr. Xie must be careful."
Several other clan elders also told Shen Qiqi to protect herself in everything and not to be too aggressive. Even the fifth elder expressed concern for Shen Qiqi and patted his chest and promised that he would pacify the people in the city. .
The fifth elder kept his word. Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming went out in front, and he immediately followed behind to comfort the crying people who were blocking the door of Shen's house.
