80: The future mistress of the Shen family! Lu Qingqing!

“Lord Zeng, arrange some men for me. Take us to Liansheng Temple!”

“It’s you. You’ll be in charge of leading the team. Go and arrange the men immediately!”

Zhao Sheng’s face was serious. After seeing the Chief Constable of the county yamen, he immediately began giving orders without delay.

Regarding the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, Zhao Sheng and the other two were even more serious than they were about dealing with supernatural oddities.

County Magistrate Zeng Fan just watched quietly as Zhao Sheng and his group arrived and then left.

The main hall of the county yamen’s rear courtyard suddenly became quiet again, with only County Magistrate Zeng Fan sitting on a chair, at a loss.

Late at night!

Inside the Shen Mansion, Lu Xuan had already returned to his room. On the table was a box of highly nutritious medicinal ingredients.

Lu Xuan, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the bed, checking the System panel.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 4/9 (Can be deduced), Wind Chasing Step 2/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 443

Please confirm whether to consume 60 points to deduce Wind Chasing Step.

Please confirm whether to consume 100 points to deduce Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

“443 points?”

After seeing the points on the System, Lu Xuan pulled out a thin, grayish-white book from his Arms, with the three large characters “Iron Cloth Shirt” written on it.

This Iron Cloth Shirt was a common item Lu Xuan had picked up from a street vendor in the city on his way to buy the Profound Iron Saber yesterday.

Ordinary Martial Dao Secret Manuals were very common in the county town, so Lu Xuan only spent a dozen silver taels to buy this Iron Cloth Shirt.

“Body Tempering Cultivation Technique!”

Although Lu Xuan’s Physical Body was now as hard as metal and stone, indestructible.

However, the enemies Lu Xuan encountered were becoming increasingly terrifying and powerful.

His current Physical Body strength was already somewhat insufficient.

It seemed he still needed to deduce a Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, just in case.

Detected Martial Dao Cultivation Technique Iron Cloth Shirt. Please confirm whether to consume 1 point to deduce Iron Cloth Shirt.

Yes!

Of course, it wasn’t just the Iron Cloth Shirt; Lu Xuan hadn’t forgotten the other two Cultivation Techniques either. He wanted to deduce all three Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques at once.

That night, the Shen Mansion’s main hall was still brightly lit by candles, with over a dozen large chests on the floor.

These were brought back by Zhao Sheng and his group after they rushed back from Liansheng Temple, delivering them overnight.

When Lu Qingqing’s beautiful eyes saw the mountain of gold and silver treasures piled on the ground.

Her face, however, showed no ecstatic expression; instead, she felt lost and helpless.

How could a weak woman like her handle so much silver?

So, Lu Qingqing immediately looked at the two people in the hall, Shen Yuan and Shen Yunwei, and spoke in a pleading tone.

“Father, Brother Yuan, there’s simply too much silver. My elder brother said to leave it to me, but I don’t know how to handle it.”

At Lu Qingqing’s words, Shen Yuan and Shen Yunwei exchanged a look, their eyes filled with helplessness.

It’s not just you. Neither of us has ever seen so much treasure in our lives.

What should we do? We don’t know what to do either.

Finally, Shen Yunwei took a deep breath and thought of a solution.

“Qingqing, these things were left to you by your elder brother, so you should definitely manage them.”

“However, since you don’t know how to handle them, Qingqing, listen to your father’s suggestion.”

“Keep one-third of these things for Qingqing to manage, and the remaining two-thirds should be used for good deeds.”

“Starting tomorrow, in the name of the Shen family’s young madam, Lu Qingqing, the future mistress of the Shen family, announce to the entire county that the Shen Mansion will distribute relief meals daily to help the poor people in the city for one year!”

“Let everyone in the entire county pray for Qingqing, to bless her with the smooth birth of our Shen family’s Bloodline!”

“Ah!”

“Father, this… ”

“Father, Qingqing might not be able to bear such a grand reputation.”

After hearing Shen Yunwei’s decision, Lu Qingqing’s beautiful eyes widened, and she quickly spoke to dissuade him.

To represent the entire Shen Mansion in assisting the entire city’s populace in her name, this reputation was far too heavy.

“Oh, Qingqing, look at what you’re saying. You are my only wife, and thus the future mistress of the Shen family. How could you not represent the Shen family?”

“I think father’s decision is simply brilliant! It’s decided then.”

“Father, just do as you say. Yuan’er fully supports your decision.”

Shen Yuan, standing nearby, heard his father’s decision and immediately slapped his thigh, excitedly standing up and loudly praising the decision.

“But…”

“Alright, Qingqing, stop talking. It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”

“Father, I’ll trouble you with this.”

Shen Yuan saw that Lu Qingqing still wanted to refuse, so he quickly stepped forward to stop her, and then took her small hand, leading her out of the Shen Mansion’s main hall.

“Qingqing, how could you not bear this reputation?”

“To be precise, it should be our Shen Mansion that cannot bear this heavy reputation.”

Shen Yunwei stroked the graying whiskers on his chin with one hand, his deep eyes filled with mystery. He quietly watched Shen Yuan and Lu Qingqing leave.

After spending these past few days with Qingqing’s elder brother, Lu Xuan, he, this old Jianghu who had lived for most of his life.

How could he not understand Lu Xuan’s current status and his astonishing strength?

Originally, Shen Yunwei thought that Lu Qingqing and Shen Yuan were a perfect match.

Now it seemed that their Shen family was the one who had climbed up to the Lu family, and had even climbed to someone their Shen family could never hope to look up to in this lifetime.

That person was Lu Qingqing’s elder brother, Lu Xuan!

The legendary Inner Qi Realm Martial Artist!

Yes, the mysterious Qi flow Shen Yunwei felt when sparring with Lu Xuan was the Origin Qi of Heaven and Earth that only Inner Qi Realm Martial Artists possessed!

Such a young Inner Qi Realm Martial Artist, let alone in reality, even in books, Shen Yunwei had never seen such a peerless Genius.

Shen Yuan, that foolish boy, must have had incredibly good luck to bring such a good daughter-in-law to our Shen family!

Thinking of this, Shen Yunwei couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

“Hmm?”

“Such a powerful aura!”

Just as Shen Yunwei was about to call someone to move these things, he suddenly sensed something and strode out of the Shen Mansion’s main hall entrance.

A terrifying Qi flow soared into the sky from a certain direction within the Shen Mansion.

This change no longer required Shen Yunwei to sense it; it was a visible commotion.

Even though it was night, under the clear moonlight, it was still clearly visible.

The strong wind raged and howled, carrying fallen leaves and dust from the ground, soaring straight into the clouds.

Shen Yunwei looked up at a green leaf floating towards him from above, which had drifted over from where Lu Xuan was.

“Xiao Xuan, has his Martial Dao Cultivation improved again?”

“Such an earth-shattering change, alas, it seems this old man is truly old.”

Lu Xuan’s actions during his stay at the Shen Mansion these past few days had already caused Shen Yunwei’s worldview to collapse and shatter.

With Xiao Xuan’s talent, it seems he may grow to a point where no one can look up to him in the future.
