The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

I never expected that the man who had caused such a stir a while ago and almost caused the desert to go through the trials and tribulations of the Dark Ages was now sitting leisurely in his own yard eating grapes.

For a moment, Shen Lingjiao thought she was hallucinating.

But thinking about the various strange behaviors of her second brother Shen Kui before, and considering that her eldest brother Ji Shen Jin suddenly froze halfway through peeling the grapes, Shen Lingjiao suddenly reacted.

There's a trick! There's definitely a trick!

Shen Jin blinked his eyes, his concentration extraordinary. Seeing his little sister who had been away from home for many years return, he couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile: "Ling Jiao is back."

"Who is this little guy?"

Standing there, Xi Zhaozhao was also a little confused, wondering if Qianji Bailian had been killed?

For this reason, Bailian Pavilion even sealed off the city for a while...

How come he's here now?

"You came back because of me."

Shen Jin said apologetically, "This is a long story. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Shen Lingjiao had a sullen face and walked quickly to Shen Jin. She first snatched the unpeeled grape and swallowed it in one gulp. Then she suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Shen Jin's neck.

"Lingjiao, you...please listen to my explanation!"

Shen Jin quickly begged for mercy, "I can explain! Let's talk it over!"

"You are already an old man..."

Shen Lingjiao raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, but she could hardly suppress the rage in her heart. She pinched Shen Jin's neck and said ruthlessly, "Can you make such a joke casually?!"

"Because of you, I pushed aside all matters concerning Xiaoyao Tower. On the day we set off, Lao Dadu almost collapsed. Damn it! With such a big incident, how dare you have the nerve to eat a fruit plate here?"

"Don't tell me..."

Veins popped out on her forehead, and she said in a very unhappy tone, "You are doing this to me so that I can go home. If that's the case, the energy furnace in my Hercules chest is dirty. Can you help me check it out?"

Shen Kui secretly swallowed his saliva. He knew that his elder brother was quite capable, but the destructive beam shot out from the chest of the Five-Colored Glazed Treasure Puppet was not to be trifled with.

"You...let go of my hand first..."

In the end, Shen Lingjiao let go of her hand and ordered Shen Jin to peel the fruit for her and Xi Zhaozhao while explaining the whole story.

Of course, Shen Kui, who was not the mastermind but was labeled as an accomplice, could not escape either.

"It's really worth it for that old man to give you this name!"

Shen Lingjiao crossed her arms, sneered and said sarcastically, "It's time to say it, although the old immortal is a little lacking, he still has good eyesight. He saw through your character at a glance."

Shen Kui on the side lowered his head silently.

After scolding your elder brother, you can’t scold him again!

"Ha ha......"

Shen Jin laughed dryly. "Before we begin, I'd like to ask you a question."

"Have you heard of 'Faceless Shura'?"

While eating, Xi Zhaozhao, with his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel, subconsciously turned his eyes away.

The Faceless Shura that Brother Shen mentioned...

Isn’t that Senior Brother Nangong?

What does this have to do with him...

Shen Lingjiao raised an eyebrow: "That Qiwen Pavilion that has emerged in recent years?"

"good."

Shen Jin nodded and said with emotion, "He's quite an extraordinary person~"

"With just a few pointers, you've resolved the chaos within Bailian Pavilion. It's also allowed me to retreat and recuperate at home. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"

"Hehe, the story begins with the time when Faceless Shura asked to meet me..."

The timeline is before Shen Jin met the weapon-refining genius Mu Youli.

Faceless Shura used his connections to bring a letter to Shen Jin.

The general meaning is that he hopes to meet with Shen Jin, and points out the current situation of Bailian Pavilion, which is all show and no substance, and claims that he has a way to solve all of this.

When Shen Jin saw the letter, he was quite surprised. After all, as the Holy Son of Bailian, he knew the situation in Bailian Pavilion very well.

At first, Shen Jin also thought that the Faceless Shura was a member of their Bailian Pavilion.

Otherwise, you would definitely not know this!

Although there is chaos within the Bailian Pavilion, some people are willing to collude with both internal and external forces in order to seize power and strengthen their own faction, but they do so only on the basis of benefiting themselves.

In other words, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it is an internal matter of Bailian Pavilion. If an external enemy invades and touches the interests of the majority of people, they will still unite and face the outside world together.

Otherwise, if Bailian Pavilion was occupied by outsiders, even if their own people seized the internal political and legal power, it would be a blank slate, and the result would only be worse!

Even if the Faceless Shura is not a member of the Bailian Pavilion, to know these things, he must have either been omnipotent or had stolen internal secrets and obtained certain internal information about the Bailian Pavilion.

So Shen Jin had to meet the Faceless Shura no matter what.

And after that meeting.

Not only did Shen Jin not see the true face of the Faceless Shura with his own eyes, he didn't even get to say a few words. He was completely replaced by another mute who chased him and asked questions.

After all, he was the Holy Son of the Hundred Refining Pavilion, a renowned Seven-Star Weapon Refiner...

The clay Buddha still has some temper.

Being looked down upon like this, how could Shen Jin not feel a little angry?

Afterwards, he angrily found the Faceless Shura who was staying in the blacksmith shop and had not yet left, and asked for a solution to the internal conflicts in Bailian Pavilion.

The Faceless Shura is not weak, but the Thousand Machines and Hundred Refining Pavilion is stronger. If the Faceless Shura fails to explain the reason, Shen Jin will kill this opportunity to play tricks on him with a palm.

At that time, the Faceless Shura slapped his head, as if he had just remembered this.

[Shen Shengzi, if you don't go to hell, who will?]

This short sentence made Shen Jin ponder for three days and three nights.

It was not until the day of enlightenment that one realized the true abilities of the Faceless Shura.

One letter, one sentence, and Shen Jin was successfully captured!

"so......"

After hearing what Shen Jin said, Shen Lingjiao was still a little reluctant to believe it: "Just because of a single sentence, you staged this drama with Bailian Zhenzu and a group of elders in the pavilion. Not only did you let Lianzu return to take charge of the overall situation, but you also took care of a few troublemakers, killing the chickens to scare the dogs, and deterring the scoundrels. Finally..."

She pointed at the fruit plate on the stone table and raised an eyebrow. "You faked your death and escaped, deceiving the ancestor Lian under the pretext of recuperating, successfully resigning, and then you spend your days doing nothing, and you just leave it here on this fruit plate?"

"Speaking of which, after causing such a big incident, aren't you afraid that someone will cause trouble for you?"

"Hey, that's wrong."

Shen Jin smiled simply: "Don't you realize that I am now..."

"You look better than before."

"So handsome!"

"..."

Shen Lingjiao's face was dark, and she covered Shen Jin's so-called handsome face with her palm, slowly tightening it, and lifted up the big brother named "Shen Jin" who was actually a bit neurotic.

But speaking of which.

The only one who dared to disrespect the seven-star weapon refiner of Bailian Pavilion was Shen Lingjiao.

"I don't know if he's handsome or not, but if you act like a bitch again."

The corners of Shen Lingjiao's eyes twitched unconsciously, and she said expressionlessly: "Hercules' energy furnace hasn't been cleaned for a long time. If you have time, go in and help me take a look."

"Then I might not be particularly free..."

Xi Zhaozhao quietly watched Shen Lingjiao, who was cursing at Shen Jin, and suddenly turned her curses into laughter, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Great, Sister Shen, Brother Shen is still here...

"Little sister, when are you planning to leave this time?"

Shen Kui suddenly asked.

However, just as he asked the question, Shen Jin knocked him on the head.

"You're back, so why are you leaving?"

There was a clear palm print on Shen Jin's face. He glared and said, "Can you speak? No, there's food here. Shut your mouth!"

"I'm just asking..."

"You ask everything. Do you have any manners?"

Shen Kui:...

It was you who brought him up to be ill-mannered.

"Since you're okay, I'll go back in the afternoon."

Shen Lingjiao shook her head. "Xiaoyao Tower has been quite busy lately. As the fourth in command, I should share some of the responsibilities."

When talking about Xiaoyao Tower, the atmosphere on the scene froze for a moment.

Shen Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "It's been five years, and the Second Master hasn't returned yet?"

"If Lao Er comes back, Lao Da won't cry all day long."

Shen Lingjiao sighed, "And I also have time to continue studying mechanical engineering."

Seeing that Shen Lingjiao looked a bit more haggard than the last time they met, Shen Jin thought for a moment and said, "I have some friendship with the Second In Command. Do you need me to ask someone to help you find her?"

"Lao Da has been searching for a whole year and can't find it."

Shen Lingjiao refused, "You should just focus on recuperating and stop worrying about that."

Now, there are only two masters left to maintain Xiaoyao Tower.

One is the big boss, and the other is the fourth boss. The third boss helped a lot in the early days of Xiaoyao Tower, and then he became a hands-off boss. When the second boss is around, the big boss can devote himself to cultivation, and the fourth boss can immerse himself in the research of mechanical engineering.

Only later...

Five years ago, the second in command went to the desert alone to investigate the desert bandits who had repeatedly intercepted the Xiaoyao Tower caravan. The first in command had returned from Beixuan, but the second in command still hadn't returned. Until now, five years have passed, and everything that should be done has been done, but there is still no news, no trace of him.

"Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved."

Shen Lingjiao patted the back of Shen Jin's hand, then stood up calmly, "Zhao Zhao, let's go."

"Leaving now?"

Shen Kui was a little surprised and asked, "But you just came back, why don't you sit for a while?"

"You haven't seen your parents for a long time."

"Heh." Shen Lingjiao held Xi Zhaozhao's hand and rolled her eyes. "If that old man wanted to see it, he wouldn't just hide behind the wall and eavesdrop like an old pervert."

"You! You! How could I give birth to..."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say is what it is. I'm not in the mood and I don't have the time to argue right now."

Shen Lingjiao interrupted Mr. Shen's words with a perfunctory expression.

Then he took Xi Zhaozhao out of the Shen family compound with ease.

After they left, Mr. Shen, who had been eavesdropping behind the wall for a long time, came out angrily and said to his two sons, "Look at her character, she has no respect for her elders..."

"I've been spoiled by you guys!"

Shen Jin turned his head and looked to the other side, too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Shen.

On the other hand, Shen Kui complained in a bad mood: "You are the one who arranged the couple so randomly. Don't you know what kind of temper I have? You have to play the game of arranged marriage and you also want us to be of equal status..."

"If Big Brother hadn't been here at the time, do you think he would have beaten that kid to death?"

"Well...if you don't like it, you can sit down and discuss it!"

Mr. Shen said stubbornly, "How can you be so disrespectful to your elders?"

"Did my little sister not tell you or did you not hear?"

"I mean, why can't we sit down and talk it out..."

"Here it comes again, once for my little sister, once for me, once for my mother, and you insist on spouting nonsense like you've already promised someone and can't go back on your word, or that you're disgusting them."

Shen Kui's eyes wandered, and he said absentmindedly, "Although I don't have the ability of my elder brother, you might as well send someone to inquire about it. My younger sister is now the fourth in command of Xiaoyao Tower, and even the Pavilion Master of Bailian Pavilion has to show some respect to her. How can those ugly guys be worthy of my younger sister?"

"I think you're just getting old and confused! You can't tell right from wrong!"

"You're going to piss me off to death, aren't you?"

Mr. Shen said angrily: "Isn't this for her own good?!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're good to me. You're the best to me..."

"What's your attitude..."

“That’s my attitude…”

"It's all rebellious..."

The two of them argued continuously. Shen Jin was helpless and said, "Alright, let's stop here. Lingjiao is grown up now. She is free to do whatever she wants. You are always upset about her leaving home... Shen Kui, didn't you say you had an important guest? What time is it now?"

"Oh my god! It's all Dad's fault. He took up so much of my time!"

"Hey you kid, you're the anti-Tian Gang!"

Shen Kui ran away in a hurry.

Only Mr. Shen and Shen Jin were left at the scene.

For a moment the scene became somewhat silent.

Shen Jin didn't say anything. After making a fuss for a while, he finally ate a fleshy grape that he had peeled himself. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

"How has Lingjiao been these past few years?"

Mr. Shen suddenly asked.

Shen Jin continued to concentrate on peeling the grapes and replied calmly, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

"How dare you say that? You evacuated everyone without permission. How would I know?!"

"You've been squatting outside eavesdropping the whole time, haven't you?"

Shen Jin waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "That's enough. You've been busy with all this. Lingjiao has grown up now. She knows exactly what to do and how to do it."

"Alas, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Master Shen sighed deeply, "How old was she when she ran away? What truths could a little girl like her understand? She didn't even know she was sold!"

"You understand the principle, but you also messed up the relationship."

"Then what can I do?"

Mr. Shen also felt a little guilty, but there was nothing he could do. "That kid from the Hong family is a bit disappointing, but he can't stand up to the wealth and power of the other family!"

"That guy..."

"Donglai-kun."

"Yes, that's right! Dong Lai-kun!"

Master Shen was so angry that he slapped his thigh. "This Hong family has been truly lawless since they surrendered to the Aurora King Holy Land. If it weren't for the intervention of the Refiner, my Shen family would have been wiped out."

"What kind of surrender is that? It's called a perfect match."

Shen Jin laughed, "Besides, this is mine."
