The Shang Mansion itself is a manor located in Tongyou City.
From this point alone, we can see the power of merchants in Tongyou City.
Shang Xi walked quickly towards the courtyard where Shang Ke usually stayed. He had to pass through a garden on the way.
Just as Shang Xi passed through the garden, a cold light suddenly appeared from behind a rockery not far from her.
"Seventh sister, look at the gun!"
A ray of gun light cut through a crimson line more than ten feet long in mid-air, but the gun tip passed through a distance of more than ten feet in the blink of an eye and was already handed to Shang Xi.
"I don't have time to fool around with you!"
Shang Xi was not in a good mood. Being challenged at this time made him even more irritable.
A pair of scimitars appeared in his hands in an instant. One slash slanted, setting off a cold light like the waning moon, which directly flew away the spear head in front of him. The other slash slashed horizontally, and the cold sword light appeared directly on the rockery more than ten feet away.
at.
An exclamation came from behind the rockery, and Shang Yang jumped out from behind the rockery.
Almost the moment he jumped out, the rockery, which was about ten feet high, had been cut in half, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
"Seventh sister, it's just a discussion, you won't be so cruel, right?"
Shang Yang looked back at the severed section of the rockery and couldn't help complaining with lingering fear on his face.
Unexpectedly, Shang Xi also stopped at this time, and his eyes fell on the blood-red spear in Shang Yang's hand.
"When did you get this gun?"
Shang Xi's voice suddenly fell silent, and his whole body felt like a volcano that was about to erupt in the next moment.
Shang Yang was immediately startled and said quickly: "Seventh sister, don't get me wrong. This gun has just been improved by the academy into a mid-grade sharp weapon. I just took it from Duan Hong to play with because I was happy.
As long as nephew Xia comes back, he can take it away at any time!"
After saying that, Shang Yang said with a smile: "How could I steal my nephew's weapon?"
Shang Xi nodded when he heard this, then stretched out his hand under Shang Yang's stunned eyes and said, "Okay, bring it!"
Shang Yang said in shock: "What, what, he's back?"
Shang Xi suddenly shook his hand, and the scimitar in his hand shot through the air.
Shang Yang never expected that Shang Xi would suddenly attack at such a close distance, and his attack would be so fierce. He couldn't dodge for a moment, and subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
Unexpectedly, Shang Xi's figure flashed and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Shang Yang and took the red iron spear directly from his hand.
"Seventh sister, you actually made a sneak attack..."
Before Shang Yang could finish his words, Shang Xi left him without looking back and said, "Teach him the same thing as he did, and we'll be even!"
"Why……"
Shang Yang stretched out his hand in confusion, but in the end he said nothing. He could only watch helplessly as the spear that had just been upgraded to a mid-grade weapon disappeared from Shang Xi's hand.

Shang Xi handed a piece of paper to Shang Ke with a solemn expression.
Shang Ke just glanced at it for a few moments, then he covered the note and said in a deep voice: "Who else knows the content on this?"
Shang Xi said: "Yan Qi came to see me after receiving the reply. I have asked him to keep it secret. Now only the three of us know."
Yan Nier brought back news about Shang Xia, but the two of them seemed to have no time to rejoice that Shang Xia was still alive.
Shang Ke stood up immediately after hearing this: "Okay, this matter is important. I will go to the college to find Ji Wenlong right away. You can wait for news at home."
Shang Xi frowned when he heard this and said: "Fifth Uncle, if the news Xiao Xia brought back is true, find him..."
Shang Ke smiled and said: "Don't worry about this matter. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return to the family in the next period of time. You and the second child will be fully in charge of all matters in the family."
Shang Xi was puzzled and said: "Fifth Uncle, why don't you let Xiao Xia come back?"
Shang Ke smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for the time being. Besides... I'm afraid Tongyou City has become an isolated city now, and it's even more dangerous to come back now!"
Shang Xi's expression changed when he heard this. When he was about to ask again, Shang Ke's figure had already disappeared from his eyes.
Shang Xi stayed in Shang Ke's quiet room for a while, his expression even more worried.
After a while, Shang Xi seemed to have made up his mind and immediately stood up and walked out.
As soon as Shang Xi came out of the quiet room, he saw Shang Yang leaning against a pillar not far away, apparently waiting for her.
Seeing Shang Xi come out, Shang Yang hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Seventh sister, have you found Xiaoxia?"
"Don't ask too much about this matter, and don't say too much about it!"
Shang Xi walked straight past Shang Yang, his eyes not even falling on him for a moment.
Shang Yang turned around and opened his mouth as if to say something, but saw Shang Xi suddenly stop and said: "Oh, by the way, I remember that your family members are still staying in Changfeng City, and your wife's family seems to be quite popular in Jizhou.
Is it prestigious to be one of the three great families in Jizhou?"
Shang Yang didn't know why Shang Xi mentioned this, and replied with some confusion: "My father-in-law's family name is Li. Although it is a famous family in Jizhou, it is far less than the three major families. However, my father-in-law's family has a close relationship with Bailu Blessed Land.
One of my wife's clan brothers is a direct disciple of Bailu Blessed Land, and my father-in-law's family also relied on him a lot, and even my younger brother had some care from him when he was here."
Speaking of the latter part, Shang Yang couldn't help but look a little complacent.
Shang Xi said "Oh", looked at him with a slightly complicated expression, and then left directly.
Shang Yang looked at Shang Xi's leaving figure and was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know why she mentioned his wife's natal family.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he secretly thought that his seventh sister was about the same age as his brother-in-law. The seventh sister suddenly mentioned, maybe she heard about it somewhere and fell in love with her?
It is said that although the brother-in-law is extraordinary, the seventh sister's cultivation is not bad, and the two families are considered to be well-matched, and each other is considered a good match.
If this is the case, he might as well ask his wife to help him.
If this matter can really be accomplished, not only will the relationship between the two of them be closer, but if the clan brother can take a further step forward in the White Deer Land in the future, the family will also be able to borrow more resources.
Thinking of this, Shang Yang couldn't help but feel warm and wished he could rush to Changfeng City to discuss this matter with his wife.
…………
When Shang Ke came to Tongyou Academy to find Ji Wenlong, he met Yu Chengjin, the elder of the Sword Gate Academy, and Ji Wenlong broke up on bad terms.
Seeing Shang Ke come in, Ji Wenlong said helplessly: "As the Coral Forest Mysterious Realm gets closer and closer to the realm passage, the realm barrier that now runs across the Qianye Mountains in Youzhou is like a sieve. I don't know how many people there are every day.
Able to get in and out.”
Shang Ke laughed when he heard this: "Isn't this part of the plan? Why, Jianmen Academy is here to dissuade you?"
Ji Wenlong snorted coldly and said, "More than that? The other four colleges probably have the same meaning! In order to prevent Tongyou City from being promoted to a blessed place, they even hinted that they might be wise to protect themselves."
Shang Ke's face changed
Leng said: "Is this a threat?"
Ji Wenlong glanced at him and his expression became much more serious: "Although I didn't say it clearly, that's what it meant."
"Hey, outsiders are not trustworthy after all. Fortunately, we are not unprepared for this. We will not ask them to fight to the end for us, as long as they can share part of the pressure."
"That's the worst estimate after all!"
Ji Wenlong sighed.
Shang Ke said: "It's not all because of the attack on Chief Kou Shan. His whereabouts are still unknown. The prying eyes of various forces have also made the other four colleges lack the confidence to cooperate with us! Is there no news about Chief Kou Shan yet?"
Ji Wenlong glanced at him, shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, looked at him and said, "Why did you remember it today?"
Shang Ke smiled bitterly and handed the note about the news about Changmaple City that Shang Xia Ling Yan Nier brought back to Ji Wenlong. He smiled bitterly and said: "Bad news, the house is leaking and it's raining continuously!"
After reading the above content, Ji Wenlong first gave a bitter smile. He smashed his hands and the note turned into ashes. He said with a hint of helplessness: "Anyway, it's a good thing that the child is still alive!"
Shang Ke asked: "What about the matter about Changmaple City? Judging from the news brought back by Xiaoxia, Bailu Paradise and Changbai Holy Land in Cangling Realm have merged. If Yang Hu falls to Jizhou again, what does that mean?
You know better than me!"
Ji Wenlong muttered: "Yes, Changfeng City has a great influence on our plan!"
Shang Ke said harshly: "It's a pity that we are waiting to guard the isolated city now, otherwise where would Yang Hu have the courage to abandon Youzhou?"
After saying that, Shang Ke suddenly looked at Ji Wenlong and said, "Do you have any arrangements outside Tongyou City?"
"What other arrangements can there be? Since the attack on the mountain leader, there has been no news from Changfeng City for nearly two months. I am afraid that the hidden stakes we have arranged in Changfeng City have already been controlled by Yang Hu."
Ji Wenlong smiled bitterly and before he finished speaking, he saw Shang Ke's face turn extremely ugly. He couldn't help but said: "Okay, I'll give you an address. You can let the kid try his luck and do your best. Tell him
The premise is to preserve oneself.”
Ji Wenlong casually wrote an address on paper, then wrote two lines of words that looked like code words and handed them to Shang Ke.
Shang Ke took it and glanced at it, then said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Shang Ke suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ji Wenlong and asked, "Is it true that there is no news about Chief Kou Shan?"
Ji Wenlong sighed and shook his head.
Shang Ke turned around and walked out with some suspicion, while muttering: "I always feel like you guys have been hiding something!"
…………
It was another early morning. This was already the third day that Shang Xia came to Changfeng City, and about two months had passed since the day Kou Chongxue was attacked.
Hai Yuanyuan got up early in the morning and saw Uncle Xia, whom she liked very much, standing under the pear tree in the yard and looking up at something.
The curious little girl came to Shang Xia, tilted her head and asked curiously: "Uncle, what are you looking at?"
Shang Xia picked up the little girl and lifted her up high. He chuckled and replied, "Uncle is wondering if there will be beautiful birds coming to build nests in the tree."
Hai Yuanyuan said with a milky voice: "Uncle, will there be birds coming to live with Yuanyuan in winter?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Our little Yuanyuan is so cute, even the birds will like it, so they will definitely come."
The little girl was so happy that she jumped out of Shang Xia's arms and ran into the house and shouted: "Mom, uncle said that the little bird will be my neighbor..."
