You are ruthless, really helpless

The Shen family is a big family in Changming City, with a big family and a prosperous population, and there are thousands of young disciples in the Guang clan.

It's like a big tree, rooted in Changming City, with luxuriant branches and leaves, growing vigorously.

There is a saying: No one knows you are poor in the busy city, but you have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich.

Every Chinese New Year and festival, there are always waves of poor relatives visiting to enjoy the autumn breeze.

Rich and noble families pay attention to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Generally, they are polite to these poor relatives, and distribute food and silver to help everywhere.

Therefore, when the bodyguard brought Jiang Li to the door, the butler didn't doubt it at all.

Escort: "This is a husband who just lost her husband, and the family has no backbone, so they can't live on..."

The butler was busy settling accounts, and upon hearing this, he raised his head and took a look.

People should be pretty and filial.

The young man was dressed in white without too many embellishments, and only tied his hair with a white ribbon, which made his cheeks even more slender and small.

The butler paused: "Which family does it belong to?"

Jiang Li lowered his eyelids and said softly, "My husband's surname is Shen."

Steward: "What's the name? Which branch?"

In the matter of lying, three points must be true and seven points false to be convincing.

If you temporarily fabricate a false name, it may reveal flaws when it is critical.

So Jiang Li didn't have a "husband" out of nothing, but searched his memory and found a name with the surname Shen.

Without thinking about it, he directly let this person "die" temporarily, and said: "Shen Jiyun."

The housekeeper frowned and thought carefully: "Ji's generation... It seems that there is such a person who went there at such a young age..."

Jiang Li choked up a sob at the right moment, the corners of his eyes were red, and he couldn't see any flaws.

There are so many disciples in the Shen family, it is impossible for the steward to remember everyone's names, but there is probably an influence, Jiang Li mourns so much, it doesn't look like a fake, it must be the real husband's death.

Besides, the relatives who came to seek refuge have gone, and the housekeeper is still busy with other people. He didn't want to waste time on this trivial matter, so he said casually: "Since it's the Shen family, no matter how you say it, you won't miss a bite." For food."

Then he called a servant and told him to take Jiang Li to live in another courtyard first.

Jiang Li thanked him and followed behind the boy.

He lowered his head, and the moment he turned around, the corners of his lips curled up, sly and proud.

……

Go out through the hanging flower door.

The path paved with blue bricks is long and secluded.

Jiang Li walked all the way, and through the high wall, he could hear the movement on the other side.He casually mentioned: "Is there a happy event to do?"

This is not something that needs to be concealed, and the young boy answered immediately, "It's a happy event."

Jiang Li: "What kind of happy event? People like me... always have to avoid things."

The boy glanced at the white cloth above his head, curled his lips: "The eldest son is coming back, you'd better stay in the yard and don't come out, so as not to bump into the eldest son."

Jiang Li lowered his head and restrainedly complied.

Seeing that Jiang Li was meek and sensible, the young man also said a few more words: "Young Master was selected by the Immortal Master a few years ago, and entered the Immortal Gate to seek immortality. Now that he has received the great favor of the Immortal Master, he came back to celebrate the old man's birthday... ..."

The smile on Jiang Li's lips was weird: "That's really... double happiness."

The boy agreed: "Yes."

Just as he was talking, the boy stopped and pointed to the front yard: "When you arrive, you will live here from now on." He reminded, "This area is full of people like you, walk through this garden , is the residence of the Lord’s house, so don’t wander around.”

Don't walk around?

Jiang Li's tongue rolled, and he spit out a word: "...OK."

The boy sent the man to him, and soon he was busy with other things.

Jiang Li was alone, pushed the door and walked in.

This is an uninhabited courtyard with white walls and red tiles, tables, chairs, beds and cabinets are all available, and the floor is also clean. Presumably it is often cleaned for poor relatives to live in.

Jiang Li had been acting for a long time, and his lips and teeth were inevitably dry. He sat down at the table and wanted to pour a pot of water, but when he lifted the teapot, he realized that it was empty.

Shaking the teapot, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.

He stretched out his finger, tapped the teapot with his fingertips, and a little spiritual energy condensed out.

The sound of flowing springs reverberated.

The teapot in his hand sank, and the water gradually filled up.

Just when it was about to fill up, Jiang Li's hand loosened, the spiritual energy collapsed, and even the rootless water in the pot disappeared completely.

Putting down the teapot, the door swayed in the wind.

At some point, a slender figure stood in the courtyard and looked over from a distance.

As soon as Jiang Li pushed open the door, he met a cold and scrutinizing gaze.

Who is this person?

Judging by the expression and posture, he is not like ordinary people.

He was vigilant in his heart, but his face was still shy and weak. He leaned against the door and asked, "Excuse me, are you...?"

Shen Jiyun remained silent.

The distance between the two seems to have spanned endless time.

After so many years, the young man still looks the same, but his expression is different from before.

The young man back then was passionate and full of sincerity.

And now... just a scheming, insidious and cunning person.Thinking about it, all kinds of things back then were all pretended by him to win sympathy.

The ripples in Shen Jiyun's heart continued, and the spiritual energy surged, blowing away the fallen leaves on the branches.

At this time, a timid voice sounded: "Are you a relative living here?"

The turbulent spiritual energy vanished into nothingness.

Shen Jiyun looked again.

The young man had fair cheeks, and a pair of clear and bright eyes, full of ignorance.

Actually... don't recognize him.

How could you not recognize him?

Shen Jiyun's mood was complicated for a while, and his tone was blunt: "It is."

After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Li's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "You live here too?"

I don't know what kind of mentality Shen Jiyun has, but he actually nodded in response.

Jiang Li lowered his eyelids, his eyes moved slightly.

Arrange two people in one courtyard?

This Shen family is too stingy.

Besides, there are people living nearby, so it is inconvenient for him to use any means.

This guy needs to be kicked out.

Jiang Li quickly came up with an excuse: "My widow has a new funeral, it's really ominous, if you mind, I can move to another place."

Shen Jiyun frowned.

In front of Ye Jingxian was still a wandering doctor.

In just a few days, he suddenly transformed into a newly widowed widow?

Shen Jiyun wanted to see what nonsense this young man could say, so he repeated slowly: "The widow is newly mourned? Where is your husband's home?"

Jiang Li lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's the Shen family."

Shen Jiyun: "Who is the Shen family?"

Jiang Li: "Shen Jiaji's characters are descended from each other, and the two characters are one cloud."

Shen Jiyun: "..."

Jiang Li sensed something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Are you a friend of your deceased husband's old friend?"

Shen Jiyun: "..."

Jiang Li made amends for himself: "My late husband and I have been living in other towns, and we haven't met other members of the Shen family. Please forgive me if I'm rude."

Logically speaking, most people would not care too much about widows.

But the person in front of him seemed unusual. Hearing these words, his eyes became colder and colder, as if he wanted to pierce Jiang Li's disguise.

Jiang Li pursed his lips.

Could it be that the flaw was seen?

Before he could figure out what went wrong, he heard a cold snort, and then the man disappeared.

The courtyard was empty.

The fallen leaves on the ground shook slightly, and a layer of crushed frost condensed on them.

Jiang Li's eyes flashed.

It seems things have changed.

Gotta get the last key shard fast.

……

late at night.

The main house of the Shen family, a secret room.

The two sat face to face.

The old man of the Shen family is already an octogenarian, at such an age, he should be a very old man.

But the strange thing is that he only has gray hair, but his skin is smooth and delicate, without a trace of aging.

He has a childlike face and looks a little scary when you look closely.

Because of the appearance of the old lady of the Shen family, it is not easy to appear in front of everyone, even if others see it strangely, they will only think that the elixir sent back by the eldest son is used to keep youth forever.

Now, the eldest son is sitting opposite the old man.

One old and one young.

But the strange thing is that the older one has a reserved look, while the younger one dominates.

The old man asked: "This time the fairy...how do you say?"

The eldest son of the Shen family said in a deep voice: "The immortal master is very dissatisfied with our Shen family. If we fail to meet the requirements this time, we will cut off our Shen family's pills."

The old man became excited: "How can this work! Our Shen family relies on these pills to be where they are today, if they are gone...you have to think of a way!"

The eldest son interrupted him: "I can't do anything, unless...the Shen family can produce something that satisfies the immortal master."

The old man's expression changed, he hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "The heirloom of our Shen family."

Eldest son and old god always said: "Ordinary gold, silver and jewelry are useless."

The old man lowered his posture: "I know that the immortal teacher is not a mortal, so naturally he dare not disturb these common things."

After a while, a box made of bronze was placed on the table.

The box was polished smooth, with intertwined patterns on it, exuding a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.

Click.

The old man opened the box: "There was also an immortal in the ancestors of the Shen family, this is the treasure left by the immortal..."

The box was opened.

Half a piece of jade lay in it, exuding a lustrous luster.

The eldest son sized it up for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "I'll accept it first, and I'll take it to the immortal master to have a look, and let the immortal master make a decision."

……

It wasn't until the end of the night that the eldest son came out of the secret room, his sleeves shook, and a faint smell of blood emanated from his body.

It was already late at night, but the eldest son did not feel sleepy, on the contrary he was in high spirits.

He walked around in the yard, but still couldn't calm down, so he was going to vent.

Walking along the winding path, halfway through, the eldest son suddenly saw a figure flashing past.

He asked: "Who?"

no respond.

Only the whistling of the wind.

The eldest son has been cultivating immortals for two years, so he is naturally not afraid of such tricks, so he sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost!"

He chased after the figure, and before he knew it, he came to another courtyard.

Looking at the slightly crude courtyard in front of him, the Eldest Young Master frowned.

This... seems to be where the poor relatives live.

The eldest son glanced at it and walked in.
