Because Shen Li and Shen Tianxing are brothers, they live not far apart, just separated by a wing.
When Shen Li came to Shen Tianxing's room, Shen Ze was helping him give him medicine.
"Father..." Shen Li saluted.
"Here we come... Okay, you brothers are here, I'm going out first." Seeing Shen Li coming, Shen Ze put down the medicine bowl, explained some things, then turned around and left.
"Second brother..." Shen Tianxing looked very sad. When he saw Shen Li coming, he moved slightly and his voice was very weak.
"Brother, what is this..." Shen Li helped Shen Tianxing to lean on the bedside and asked.
"Hey, in the morning, I forced myself to break through the barrier, trying to break through to the ninth level. Unexpectedly, my inner energy backfired, and my vitality was severely damaged." Shen Tianxing let out a long sigh.
"So that's it..." Shen Li nodded: "How is it now? Is there any impact?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that my energy has been damaged and I need to rest for a few days."
"It's okay." Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand on Shen Tianxing's pulse. It was indeed a little disordered, but it was slowly calming down. He asked: "Brother, you have always acted steadily and step by step. ,Why are you so reckless this time?"
Shen Li understands Shen Tianxing's temperament very well. Although he is cold and arrogant, he is very enlightened in cultivation and knows that step by step is the right way. He is not someone who would do such a thing.
"Hey...you don't stand in this position, so you don't know the pressure of this position." Shen Tianxing laughed at himself: "Others say that I am the number one member of the younger generation of the Shen family, with a cultivation level of the eighth level of the early martial arts realm. But do you know how much pressure I have to bear?"
Shen Li's expression changed. It was true. It was cold at high places. He still understood this truth.
"Do you know about the big event in a month's time?" Shen Tianxing suddenly asked.
"What's the matter?" Shen Li frowned.
"The three major families in Jiangyuan City have jointly agreed to hold a martial arts competition every five years. At that time, all the elites of the younger generation of the three families will appear on the stage to compete."
"One month? So soon?" Shen Li suddenly remembered this matter, but he didn't know that there was only such a little time left. This martial arts competition can be said to be a grand event in Jiangyuan City, held once every five years, with great momentum.
"This martial arts tournament not only determines the glory of a family, but also determines the ownership of some resources. You also know the situation of our Shen family. It has only been established for a few decades and has no foundation. It is even more indifferent and has no ability to compete with others. Yang and Qi are two established forces competing against each other. Among them, Yang Xu and Qi Yu are both at the ninth level of cultivation. Even if I know the danger, I have to seek a breakthrough, because if we cannot be promoted before the conference, our Shen family will It is bound to be a total defeat." Shen Tianxing sighed.
"Nine-level..." Shen Li was also shocked. He had heard of the names of these two people. They were both famous masters in Jiangyuan City. They had already reached this level at a young age. It was almost a level that only the core of the family could achieve. Even in a big city like Taiyu City, he is a rare genius. But in the Shen family, there is only an eighth-dan like Shen Tianxing among the younger generation, so the pressure is naturally great.
"But brother, don't force yourself too much. You can't force yourself on the path to martial arts. Besides, even if that happens, our Shen family may not have no way out." Shen Li comforted him.
"Hey..." Shen Tianxing let out a long sigh, and then turned his gaze to Shen Li: "Second brother, your cultivation has been making rapid progress recently. Maybe in the future, you can truly support the family."
"I will try my best." Shen Li's eyes were solemn. After all, this is his home, with his relatives and the place where he grew up. He must do his best to keep this home and make him continue to grow stronger. Be bullied again.
In the next two days, Shen Li worked harder on his cultivation. Because of the pressure from all aspects, he could not help but slack off. During these two days, his cultivation gradually improved, and he gradually touched the The edge of eight segments.
At noon, Shen Hongtian suddenly called Shen Li into the room and said solemnly: "Li'er, did you know someone from the Jiang family in Taiyu City is here?"
"I know." Shen Li said.
"The Yang family is throwing a big banquet tonight. It is said to be a family banquet, but in fact it is to welcome the seventh son of the Jiang family. We, the Shen family, will also send people to go. All of you, the outstanding sons of the younger generation, will go. Are you ready? one time."
"Do I have to go?" Shen Li frowned. He didn't have a good impression of Jiang Tianluan.
"Of course...the Jiang family is so powerful that no force in Jiang Yuancheng dares to neglect it." Shen Hongtian sighed.
"Grandpa, how can the Yang family reach such a high branch as the Jiang family?"
"It's not like a daughter of the Yang family has married a young master of the Jiang family as a concubine. I'm afraid someone from the Jiang family will help the Yang family this time..."
"Well, I'll go get ready." Shen Li nodded, turned around and left.
At night, there was a lot of traffic outside Yang's house, just like a bustling market. Horse-drawn carriages kept driving in. The people coming and going were all dressed in rich robes and were all powerful people in Jiangyuan City.
Shen Li followed Shen Hongtian and strode in. Shen Ze, Shen Yi, Shen Mengran, Shen Tianxing and others also followed. Along the way, many people turned around to greet him. After all, the Shen family was here. Jiangyuan City also has a certain dignity.
"Hey, Old Shen is quite impressive..." A sneer suddenly came, and an old man stood not far from Shen Hongtian and his party. It was Qi Laoer, and next to him stood an old man with round eyes. Staring, with high spirits, it was Qi Yuan, the current head of the Qi family.
"Of course not as good as your Qi family..." Shen Hongtian responded with a sneer.
"Shen, please tell your little brats to be more honest later, so as not to bump into the important people of the Jiang family and die without knowing how." Qi Yuan suddenly spoke sarcastically.
"Better mind yourself!" Shen Hongtian snorted coldly.
"Haha, the distinguished guest has arrived, please come in with the two uncles..." A loud laugh suddenly came from the door, and a middle-aged man came out and said to Shen Hongtian and Qi Yuan, it is now Yang The eldest son of the head of the family, Yang Wen.
"You're polite..." The two of them returned the greeting and strode inside.
Shen Li followed the crowd and walked into it. It must be said that the Yang family is known as the largest family in Jiangyuan City and has a lot of heritage. This magnificent courtyard alone is something that the Shen family does not have.
Now the courtyard is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and servants and maids are running around, which shows how solemn the banquet is.
Shen Li has actually met many powerful people along the way, all of whom are famous people in Jiangyuan City. They are all here to cheer up the Yang family and clean up their family. This shows how powerful the Jiang family is. , even though they are not in Taiyu City, they are treated similarly in other cities.
After a while of greetings, everyone began to be led by people from the Yang family to the inner courtyard. The lights here were brightly lit, just like daytime. The banquet had been served, and there were all kinds of wine and delicacies.
Everyone sat down and heard a burst of noise. An old man and a handsome young man walked out side by side. The old man had a gray beard and a warm smile. He was the current head of the Yang family, Yang Guang. The man next to him was naturally from Tai Yu.
The city’s rivers and mountains.
"Today's family banquet, I would like to thank you all for coming to support us. I would like to thank you here!" Yang Guang stood on the main seat, bowed his hands and laughed loudly.
"No, no, Mrs. Yang is so polite." Everyone returned the greeting one after another.
"Everyone must already know that the reason why our Yang family holds this banquet today is actually to welcome Master Jiang Tianluan from the Jiang family in Taiyu City. Come here, Master Jiang, to say hello to everyone." Yang Guang smiled loudly.
, and then turned his attention to Jiang Tianluan.
"I'm Jiang Tianluan in Taiyu City. I'd like to thank you for your compliments. I'll drink this glass of wine first. Thank you very much!" Jiang Tianluan is a member of a big family after all. He knows etiquette and has the demeanor of a big family. He holds a glass of wine and drinks it.
Drink it all, feeling extremely free and unrestrained.
"Okay, the Jiang family is worthy of being a member of Taiyu City, they are really generous!"
"Young Master Jiang has such grace at such a young age, it's really heartbreaking!" Everyone agreed.
"This guy does know some etiquette...I thought he only had his nostrils turned upward." Shen Li said sarcastically.
"Of course, the Jiang family is a big family after all. How can a member of the family act like a rogue?" Shen Mengran said.
"Don't you fall in love with him?" Shen Li couldn't help but glance at her.
"Go to hell...I don't like those who are arrogant and domineering." Shen Mengran gritted his teeth and gave Shen Li a slap in the face.
"It's a bit tasteful." Shen Li nodded approvingly, causing Shen Mengran to roll his eyes.
After a grand process, Yang Guangda waved his hand, and a row of beautiful women filed in, dressed in light gauze, dancing charmingly to the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, and the banquet began.
When such a big shot came, some snobbish people from Jiangyuan City naturally stepped forward to toast and flatter him, which made Shen Li feel contemptuous.
"I wonder if anyone from the Shen family has come here?" After some laughter, Jiang Tianluan suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Of course I'm here. This is the head of the Shen family, Mr. Shen Hongtian. He is also an innate master of the True Martial Realm." Yang Guang introduced to Jiang Tianluan.
"Oh, it turns out he's an innate master. I'm being disrespectful." Jiang Tianluan's face showed a trace of emotion. After all, the reputation of an innate master was very great, and even he couldn't ignore it.
"Where, people from a small place cannot get into the eyes of the Young Master." Shen Hongtian said modestly.
"The old gentleman is too modest..." Jiang Tianluan said with a smile.
"I wonder if you have any advice, Master?" Shen Hongtian asked. He also didn't expect that Jiang Tianluan would suddenly ask him what the reason was for the Shen family.
"Oh, it's like this. As soon as Xiaosheng arrived in Jiangyuan City, he heard about the name of Shen Tianxing of the Shen family. Can you recommend him?" Jiang Tianluan said suddenly.
"Huh?" Shen Hongtian frowned, not knowing what Jiang Tianluan meant. The rest of the Shen family also frowned, wondering what Jiang Tianluan's plan was. Only Shen Li felt a thump in his heart, knowing that Jiang Tianluan didn't
He knows something good, but if he says it, nothing good will happen.
