Shen Liushuang put away the sword pill and turned to leave, but then stopped and turned back to Deng Qixian and said, "You really don't seem to know how to use a sword, but you are a member of the Deng family after all. You must know one or two people who can use a sword, right?"

Deng Qixian's eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen may have some misunderstanding. I have never heard of anyone in the Deng family who can use a sword..."

"Stop pretending!" Shen Liushuang frowned. "Everyone knows the Wudu Deng family. Although your Deng family has fallen, people all over the world still know about it. There are only so many immortal cultivation sects in this world. Think about the time when the head of the Deng family slew a demonic snake with a sword and died. In that battle, we..."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please be careful with your words!" Deng Qixian growled, his face turning completely gloomy.

After being yelled at by Deng Qixian, Shen Liushuang's face changed slightly. He felt a pang of fear in his heart and cold sweat broke out on his back.

What did she say just now? Demonic snakes are a taboo, how could she just say it casually?

Shen Liushuang waited nervously for a while, and found that he was not being targeted by any unknown malicious force, and his spiritual power did not show any unusual fluctuations. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The demon snake had an unusual origin, and the forces behind it were complicated. Shen Liushuang understood that even if he mentioned it, he had to be extremely careful.

Shen Liushuang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and lighten the mood. "I heard you're good at reading qi and once found dragon qi for Prince Ning. Could you help me see if there's anyone with great luck in Qinghe County?"

"Are you talking about Chen Changfan?" Deng Qixian didn't know anything about the art of fortune-telling. It was all thanks to his granddaughter that he cheated.

Although he didn't know the art of qigong, he knew Chen Changfan.

Who else could be the luckiest person in Qinghe County except that guy?

"Do you know him?" Shen Liushuang noticed something strange.

"We only met once, why are you looking for him?" Deng Qixian's eyes were inexplicably dim. He thought of his ninth brother who was following Chen Changfan.

Who would have thought that the Deng family of Wudu, once famous throughout the world, is now scattered across the nine states, and is not living a happy life.

"I have my own plans." Shen Liushuang smiled faintly, with a sharp glint in her eyes. "If Chen Changfan has great luck, he might be able to lend me a hand."

Deng Qixian snorted coldly, "The Heavenly Master lineage requires the help of luck to cultivate. I never thought that you, at such a young age, have reached this level."

The Heavenly Master lineage only needs to rely on the power of luck when they are about to ascend to the next level, but Shen Liushuang has only recently entered the eighth level.

"I am a genius, and I have my own secret methods."

A hint of pride flashed in Shen Liushuang's eyes, and then she lost interest in talking and turned around and left.

She is just like that. If someone is useful to her, she will take great pains to make friends with him. If he is of no use to her, she won't bother to say a word.

After Shen Liushuang left, Deng Qixian was alone in the yard, thinking for a long time, his eyes flickering constantly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Being targeted by the Tianshi lineage, Chen Changfan will probably have a hard time..."

There was a look of regret in his eyes, and he seemed to feel quite sympathetic towards Chen Changfan.

Deng Qixian knew something about the methods and abilities of the Heavenly Master lineage.

The Tianshi lineage has always been good at manipulating luck. If one relies on luck normally, progress will be more stable but it will take a lot of time. If one forcibly strips away luck, the other party's foundation will be damaged, and there is even the possibility of death.

Just now, Shen Liushuang said that she knew the secret method, and it was obvious that she wanted to forcibly strip away Chen Changfan's luck. She herself was at the eighth level of strength, and if Chen Changfan was not on guard, her luck would be easily taken away.

Deng Qixian wondered in his heart whether he should remind Chen Changfan to prevent any accidents.

"Grandpa, are you worried about Chen Changfan?" The little granddaughter beside him said vaguely while chewing a chicken leg.

"Why, Grandpa, can't you be so kind all of a sudden?" Deng Qixian also had a chicken leg in his hand, but suddenly he felt that it didn't smell good.

"Grandpa, there's no need to worry. Chen Changfan's luck is so profound that even I can't fathom it. Maybe that Shen guy will fall into Chen Changfan's hands."

The little kid said with a confident look on his face.

"Even you can't see through me..." Deng Qixian suddenly felt a little better. Perhaps he was just worrying too much...

He shook his head, thinking that there was no need to worry too much and should just focus on eating... eh?

Deng Qixian felt something pulling the chicken leg in his hand. He looked down and saw that only a chicken bone was left of the chicken leg, while the little kid was chewing it vigorously with his cheeks puffed out.

"Rebellious grandson! You dare to steal grandpa's chicken leg?"

……

Shen Liushuang returned to her own courtyard with a barely perceptible smile on her lips. She had already made up her mind. She regarded Chen Changfan as a resource for her cultivation.

Seeing the rows of heavy wooden boxes neatly stacked in the courtyard, more than a dozen servants in the palace were exhausted and sweating. After all, it was 100,000 taels of gold, and moving it was extremely physically demanding work.

Looking at those men who looked at her with ingratiating and somewhat cautious expressions, Shen Liushuang was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. She waved her hands impatiently, signaling them to leave quickly, while cursing in her heart:

A bunch of useless ants, they are so tired just by moving a few boxes.

She covered her nose and felt that the sweat smell of those people was extremely disgusting, which made her feel even more disgusted.

Those people retreated respectfully and carefully closed the courtyard door. Shen Liushuang snapped his fingers, and the lids of the wooden boxes opened one after another, revealing the golden gold inside.

Shen Liushuang stared at the gold and smiled with satisfaction.

She picked up a bright yellow gold ingot, and a hint of worldly desire flashed across her eyes.

"Money can move people's hearts..."

Shen Liushuang's family was poor when she was a child. She remembered that her family could not even scrape together ten taels of silver to pay taxes. Her father was at a loss and even thought of selling her for money, but later he had no choice but to give up.

But it wasn't that her father suddenly had a change of heart.

The reason was that the boy who came to her house thought she was too ordinary-looking and could not be sold at a good price, so he was only willing to offer 4 taels of silver.

Her father felt that it was too much of a loss, so he had to give up.

She still remembers the look her father gave him at that time.

It was the look one gives when looking at cheap goods, filled with anger at the lack of fighting spirit, and filled with deep disgust and disdain.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong. She was obviously smarter and more obedient than her two younger brothers, and she ate less and worked more.

Instead, he is the least important person in this family.

The next year, the family still couldn't pay the tax, so her father found another man. But the man didn't want her because she was so skinny. In the end, she couldn't persuade her father, so she asked for 3 taels of silver impatiently, which was less than what she gave last year.

Her father slapped her across the face and spat, "You're a money-loser. You've been eating my food for free at home for a year, and you can't even sell it for a good price!"

She was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
