"You're just building a foundation, but you still dare to master the axes and control weapons! Come on!" Liu Lin shouted.
The sword in the woman's hand suddenly broke out of her control and flew out. Liu Lin jumped out of the carriage, took the sword in his hand, made a sword show with his backhand, and then pointed the tip of the sword directly at the woman's eyebrow.
"Who are you? Give me back my sword!" the woman asked angrily.
"Xiao Zhuji, you don't deserve to know your uncle's name. If you don't want to die, get out of here. Your sword belongs to me now." After Liu Lin finished speaking, he took the sword back and snatched the woman's scabbard.
"You! You! Taking advantage of your high level, you go too far to bully others!" the woman trembled and shouted.
"Xiao Zhuji, I'm just bullying you, what's wrong? I'm being polite enough by not killing you! Get out of here!" Liu Lin shouted.
"Master Liu, please return the sword to her, she is a girl after all." Shen Li came out to persuade.
"What a good boy, I didn't realize that she is still a caring person. Do you want me to destroy her cultivation and become your maid?" Liu Lin said with a playful smile.
After hearing this, the woman was so angry that she fainted from the anger.
Shen Li hurriedly went up to help him and said, "Girl! Girl! Are you okay?"
"Don't be afraid, young man. I can kill these little shrimps with just a raise of my hand. Don't disturb me from reading. Just go and cool off."
After Liu Lin said this, he handed the sword to Shen Li, then got in the car to read.
Shen Li held the sword in one hand and supported the young woman with the other as he returned to his car.
Shen Li put the woman on the seat and lay down, and the motorcade set off again.
"Master Liu took action? Is this girl injured?" Shen Wande asked.
"Master Liu just took her sword, and then made her faint with words." Shen Li handed the sword to Father Shen for inspection.
"This sword is extraordinary. The scabbard is made of the skin of a high-grade spiritual animal and is inlaid with precious gems. The identity of this girl is unknown. She might cause trouble if she comes to the city with us. We take her to the gate of Fengcheng and drop her off. This is the most benevolent thing." Shen Wande said.
"What father said is absolutely true." Shen Li agreed.
The wheels of the moving carriage hit a stone and jolted. The woman in the foundation-building stage was awakened. The first thing she did was to touch her clothes to see if they were intact, and then she sat up suddenly.
The father and son sitting across from each other, who were dozing off, were startled.
"Xia Xia, don't get excited yet, just listen to me." Shen Wande said.
"We don't mean any harm. You can follow the car if you want, but you have to get off at the gate of Fengcheng. Each member of our caravan has a customs clearance document, no more and no less. Please forgive me." Shen Wande said again.
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. I have my own way to enter Fengcheng and return the sword to me." The woman's attitude was much better than before.
"Shen Li, I wonder what the female hero is called?" Shen Li handed the sword to the woman and said.
"Little mortal, although I don't deserve to know my girl's name, I will tell you for the sake of returning the sword to me, Xiao Yingxue!" the woman said.
"Is the heroine related to the Xiao family, the four major Suzaku families?" Shen Wande asked quickly when he heard that the woman's surname was Xiao.
"Hmph, there are so many people named Xiao, they have no origin." Xiao Yingxue said with disdain.
"I'm sorry, but don't blame the heroine." Shen Wande apologized.
"It's okay, I have a question. Since you have immortal cultivators as bodyguards in your convoy, why didn't you come forward earlier?"
"Well, if I tell the truth, don't be angry, Miss Xiao." Shen Li said with a bad smile.
"Say it!" Xiao Yingxue frowned.
"This gentleman is arrogant and doesn't bother to take action against you." Shen Li touched his forehead with his hand and said.
"Hmph, it's just a high level. What's the air? I'm younger than him and will surpass him sooner or later! What a shame for Dingxue today!" Xiao Yingxue said with a fierce look in her eyes.
"Miss Xiao is extremely talented and intelligent. It is only a matter of time before she surpasses him," Shen Li said flatteringly.
"You are very good, and you are very good at judging people!" Xiao Yingxue said.
…
Father Shen listened to the conversation between the two and smiled bitterly.
A few days later, the Shen family caravan arrived in front of the majestic city gate of Fengcheng, the capital of the Suzaku Empire.
"Farewell to Miss Xiao, see you later." Shen Wande said respectfully.
Even a young immortal cultivator's status is at least equal to that of a court official, or even above it.
"Okay, thank you for thanking Uncle Shen and Young Master Shen for the journey." Xiao Yingxue said.
After talking for a few days, Xiao Yingxue learned that the Shen family and his son were good people, so he naturally became more polite.
"Miss Xiao, see you later!" Shen Li cupped his fists and said.
"See you later!" Xiao Yingxue replied.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Yingxue, the Shen family caravan passed the checkpoint and successfully entered the city.
It was already evening after entering the city. Shen Wande led the convoy to the post station under the jurisdiction of the Suzaku Empire General Chamber of Commerce to rest. After Shen Wande explained how the goods would be distributed tomorrow, Shen Wande called Shen Li and Liu Lin. Let's discuss the matter of visiting the Xiao family together.
"Master Liu, I believe that the alchemist Sima Xiang has returned, and if nothing else happens, he will be at the Alchemist Guild." Shen Wande said.
"This guy is back. He must report his encounter in Wancheng to the Alchemist Guild. The one who has the deepest hatred against him is me. I wanted to kill him to silence him, but I didn't expect that this guy met a noble person to help him and escaped with his life. I have done this I've prepared my plans to be hunted down, and the worst I can do is not hang out in the Eastern Region." Liu Lin said.
"I can only place my hope on the Xiao family. I hope the Xiao family can sell this face. Master Liu, can my father and son go to the Xiao family together tomorrow?" Shen Wande asked.
"You, the Shen family, are related to the Xiao family. I have nothing to do with the Xiao family. It doesn't matter if I go or not." Liu Lin's indifferent attitude.
"You'd better go. I heard that there are many immortal cultivators in the Xiao family. You might as well help shake up the place." Shen Li said.
"Others don't know, but I know that the alchemist confessed. He said that you disabled his cultivation. There is obviously no real energy fluctuation in your body. I am very curious about how you destroyed Sima Xiang's foundation-building cultivation."
Shen Wande looked at Shen Li in surprise.
"Well, I have a medicine that can destroy the cultivation of immortal cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below." Fortunately, Shen Li responded in time and was not questioned by Liu Lin.
"Oh? What kind of medicine? Where did you get it? Is it still available now?" Liu Lin asked a series of questions.
"This medicine belongs to the same owner as the book you borrowed from me. The name of the medicine is Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. He only gave me one packet. The old man with a hunchback wanted to kill me, so I spilled all of it in desperation. It’s on the hunchbacked old man.”
"Oh, when you get back, you must bring me to see this person. Shixiang Ruanjin Powder is a secret of my Liu family!"
Shen Li thought to himself: "Everything belongs to your Liu family, and the Shixiang Ruanjin Powder belongs to Zhao Min from "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer"."
"How can my son recognize such a master?" Shen Wande asked Shen Li.
"Yes, father, I helped him unintentionally, so I got to know him." Shen Li replied.
"Oh, Li'er, you change into a long gown tomorrow. I'll go deliver the greeting card first in the morning. You and Mr. Liu are waiting for the letter at the inn." Shen Wande saw that Shen Li had a secret that he didn't want to tell, so he changed the subject.
"Master Liu, you have an official status, why don't you go as an envoy of the Chuyun Empire? Although there is no official document, as you are an immortal cultivator, the Xiao family should not doubt you."
"Okay, I am also wearing the official robe of the third rank. Except for the old monster Yuanying, I don't pay attention to anyone else in the Xiao family at all." Liu Lin said.
Although they knew Liu Lin was bragging, neither the Shen family nor his son exposed him. After all, it was very rude.
