Chapter Seventeen: Showing Weakness

Feeling this powerful aura, Shen Li frowned and felt a chill in his heart. Jiang Tianluan must have at least eight levels of cultivation. He seems to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he has such strength. He is worthy of it. He is a descendant of a large family.

Yang Ling, on the other hand, watched with cold eyes. He wanted Shen Li to take action, and then used Jiang Tianluan's hands to kill Shen Li, which would be regarded as revenge for Qi Heng.

"Wait a minute, do it!"

At this moment, a long shout suddenly sounded, followed by a burst of rapid horse hooves.

In a moment, the people and horses arrived. The person on the horse was wearing a green robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was not old, but his temperament was calm. At a glance, it was obvious that he was a very smart person. He was someone who had experienced great battles. The great steward of Shen Ze's lineage is also Shen Ze's assistant in the Chamber of Commerce.

"Steward Lin, why are you here?" Shen Li asked curiously. This man's surname is Lin, and he is Lin Wan'er's biological father.

"The master heard about this and asked me to come in a hurry. I was afraid that something would happen to you..." Butler Lin whispered, then walked up to Yang Ling and Jiang Tianluan, bowed his hands and said, "You two , I am the person in charge of the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce. The master has ordered that this matter be dropped, and the iron ore will be given to the young master as a congratulatory gift to the Jiang family, how about that?"

"Steward Lin, you..." Shen Li couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the Shen family would give in and pull Butler Lin down.

"Master, don't talk too much. This matter is not trivial. Let's talk about it on the way back..." Butler Lin hurriedly stopped Shen Li and whispered.

"The adults of the Shen family are quite discerning... Okay, let's go." Jiang Tianluan smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Butler Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Shen Li and others away.

"snort!"

Shen Li was extremely angry, but had no choice but to snort heavily, look at Yang Ling and Jiang Tianluan fiercely, get on his horse and ride away.

"Oh, Shen Li, don't be like this..." Shen Mengran saw that Shen Li was depressed all the way and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Steward Lin, I really don't understand. Why should we surrender when Jiang is so arrogant? Isn't this ridiculous?" Shen Li asked Steward Lin.

"Hey, young master, you are also a smart man, don't you understand?" Butler Lin shook his head and sighed: "Jiang Tianluan took the opportunity to cause trouble for my Shen family when he came here, and Yang Ling was also present, making it clear It was Yang Ling who encouraged Jiang Tianluan to do this, mainly to target you, and to make you angry and take action."

"So what?" Shen Li also thought of this just now, but he just couldn't get angry at this cowardly tone.

"This Jiang Tianluan is at the eighth level of cultivation, and has been in this realm for half a year. In addition, with the power behind him, he is extremely powerful. Not to mention you, I am afraid that even the eldest young master is not his opponent. . If there really is a fight, you will definitely suffer a big loss. What's more, the Jiang family is powerful and cannot be provoked by the Shen family. It is not worthwhile to have a stalemate with the Jiang family over this iron ore. It is better to suffer some losses. But forget it. That’s how business is, you can’t just look at the immediate situation, you still have to suffer the losses you deserve, you have to take the overall situation into consideration.”

"Hey..." Shen Li sighed. Of course he knew these things, but he just didn't want to show weakness in front of others.

This world is like this, the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected. It seems that the Shen family ranks among the three major families in Jiangyuan City, but compared with nobles like the Jiang family, it is not worth mentioning. If people want to bully you, you can only endure it. Accept it, there is no other way.

Looking at Shen Li's appearance, Butler Lin and Shen Mengran also shook their heads and sighed. How could they not feel ashamed? But so what, they had no strength and could only endure it.

After returning home, Shen Li went back to his room and lay alone on the bed, thinking about what happened today, still feeling a little tight in his chest.

"I still have to work hard, I still have a long way to go... This world respects strength. Without strength, you can only be bullied like today. If you don't have strong strength, how can you protect your relatives and friends? ?”

Just as Shen Li was thinking about it, the door suddenly creaked. Shen Li sat up and looked around, and saw a little girl walking in. It was Lin Wan'er.

"Master..." Lin Wan'er said with a sweet smile after seeing Shen Li.

"Wan'er, why are you here?" Shen Li stood up and asked.

"I heard that you haven't eaten for a day, so I went to the kitchen to get your favorite osmanthus cake. Here!" Lin Wan'er put down a tray in her hand, and placed pieces of light yellow osmanthus cake on it, with a fragrant smell. , which makes people excited.

"Wan'er is still the most considerate..." Shen Li smiled, pinched Lin Wan'er's nose lovingly, and said softly.

"Humph..." Lin Wan'er hummed and turned her head, but her expression was filled with joy, and she sat down with her chin propped up.

It seems that Shen Li was really hungry, so he picked up the snacks and started eating them. He ate several pieces in a row. They were really fragrant and delicious.

"Master... do you think you will be tired from practicing martial arts all day?" Lin Wan'er suddenly asked.

"Of course..." Shen Li said casually, and then turned to Wan'er: "Why do you think of asking this?"

"Daddy asked me to practice martial arts again today... Oops, it's really annoying." Lin Wan'er said angrily.

"Go and practice. Once you have martial arts skills, you can protect yourself. You don't have to be afraid of those bad guys."

"I don't want... Young Master, you will protect me. Why should I practice martial arts?" Lin Wan'er shook her head like a clapper and pouted.

"Can I still protect you for the rest of my life?" Shen Li laughed dumbly. "Then what will you do when you grow up?"

"When I grow up, I will follow the young master so that I won't be afraid of bad people..." Lin Wan'er said with a sweet smile.

"Silly girl..." Shen Li laughed and rubbed Lin Wan'er's cute little head.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

At this moment, a violent coughing sound suddenly came. Shen Li frowned and asked, "Why does this coughing sound sound so familiar?"

"It's the eldest young master..." Lin Wan'er said suddenly.

"Brother?" Shen Li was startled. Shen Tianxing has always been in excellent health. In addition, he is extremely strong. How could he cough so badly?

"I don't know either." Lin Wan'er scratched her head: "I heard from my father that he seemed to be able to do it through practice. This afternoon, someone else helped him back. His face was as white as paper. He was coughing up blood at first, which scared me to death. , just boiling the medicine kept everyone busy for a while."

"How could this happen?" Shen Li stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing: "I'm going to see my brother, you go out first."

Shen Li strode outside. Shen Tianxing was his biological brother and had always taken care of him. Shen Li was naturally shocked when something happened to him.
