Chapter 54 Little Sister
"Don't ask why, just take it and go to Taiwu Gate. If they don't let you join Taiwu Gate, give them the Golden Spirit Fruit in exchange for a chance to take the assessment. That way, you'll be able to get in," Shen Xiang said.
Ling Yu Lan was stunned, she found it hard to believe that Shen Xiang would actually help her so much.
"Young Lan, your father General Cold was killed in battle a few years ago. It can't be easy for you to come here alone. Why don't we become sworn siblings? Later I'll also go to the Taiwu Gate, so there will be someone to take care of you!" Shen Xiang's heart moved as he thought of You Lan's background, looking at her lonely and pitiful figure, he couldn't help but have this idea.
Ling Yu Lan was taken aback for a moment, lightly biting her lip, and her eyes suddenly became moist. However, she smiled at Shen Xiang and said: "Little sister has seen big brother!"
Shen Xiang smiled: "Youlan, you are an Ice Fire Pulse, and only by entering those martial arts sects will you have a future. I will do my best to help you."
Leng Youlan had previously been cautious, but now she no longer suspected that Shen Xiang had other ideas about her, because she knew Shen Xiang's current status, what kind of woman would be lacking, and a man with such status would not do something very stupid for a woman.
Although she and Shen Xiang had just met, they had been paying attention to each other for a long time before that, so when they finally met, it was as if they had known each other all along!
Shen Xiang's help and the care she showed her moved her deeply, it was the first time since her father's death that she had met someone who helped her so much. Therefore, Leng Youlan was very willing to be Shen Xiang's younger sister. Long before this, she had been convinced by Shen Xiang's strength and secretly admired him in her heart.
"Brother, I will definitely remember your kindness! I'm leaving now, my body's condition is a bit complicated, I don't want to delay any longer. Remember to severely punish that Song Nanming for me." Lan Yurou smiled and said to Shen Xiang.
"Be careful all the way, Yōulán!" Shen Xiǎng said as he handed her a small jade bottle containing some of the finest medicinal pellets, which moved Yōulán deeply.
Leng Youlan's father had died in battle three years ago, and over the years, Leng Youlan had been walking a difficult path alone, searching for ways to improve her strength by herself. It was clear that she was an extremely strong-willed woman.
Ling Yu Lan's eyes moistened again, she nodded and said: "Please accept a bow from Yu Lan."
Shen Xiang immediately hugged her and smiled: "My good sister, that's enough! Be careful on the way!"
"I will definitely become stronger, brother must come find me!" Leng Yu Lan wiped away her tears, the feeling of being cared for again made her joyful and excited.
"Uh-huh! I'll definitely go." Shen Xiang stroked her soft white hair.
"Brother, why don't I stay behind? I know about your feud with the Medicine Family. Maybe I can help you!" Cold Jade Orchid regained her previous cold and proud demeanor, her entire body filled with a strong sense of determination and high morale, looking like a female war goddess. However, her eyes when looking at Shen Xiang were extremely gentle.
Shen Xiang shook his head and smiled: "No need, our Shen family can handle it, your physical condition is more important."
Ling Yu Lan bit her cherry lips and said firmly: "Brother, from now on I will definitely fight alongside you, and never hold you back."
Shen Xiang nodded comfortingly and asked, "Do you know the way?"
"I know, I've already collected information from various major sects. Although the road is a bit treacherous, I can handle it, you don't have to worry!" said Cold Yulan.
Shen Xiang saw off Leng Youlan out of the city, watching as she rode a fast horse away...
In the afternoon, it was Shen Xiang's turn to compete. What made him somewhat amused was that when he arrived at the arena, he was informed that his opponent had forfeited.
Shen Xiang's strength was evident, and the bloody scene of him killing Yao Cong yesterday still lingered in everyone's minds, making them all feel terrified of Shen Xiang's power.
It has now entered the final, where Shen Xiang and Prince Song Nanming are competing in a martial arts match, which is highly anticipated. The prince's strength is considered unfathomable by many people, as he was able to defeat Leng Youlan and is also the prince of Nanwu Country, with access to vast resources and having learned many powerful martial arts techniques.
But Shen Xiang knew that the prince's strength was not as good as Leng Youlan, and he only knew how to use some despicable tricks. Shen Xiang had already decided that if the prince used those ice needles against him, he would show no mercy.
The Danwang Pavilion has been booming with business for the past few days, drawing away a lot of customers from other medicine shops. What's been worrying Shen Xiang is that Shen Fuhong, the elder of the Shen family, hasn't made any moves yet. He had just killed an important son of a medicine shop owner yesterday, and according to his previous behavior, he should have come to Danwang Pavilion to cause trouble.
Shen Xiang suspected that there must be something in it, and he also received a notice from his father. Most of the good hands in Shen's family were already on their way and would arrive at Wang City soon, all of whom came secretly.
In the dead of night, Shen Xiang, who was cultivating in a secret room, suddenly sensed several waves of aura at the 8th level of the Mortal Martial Realm appearing in the Dan Wang Pavilion. He was shocked awake and hastily left the secret room, following those few strands of aura to the great hall.
"Old man!" Shen Xiang was startled, then looked at the others, among whom two were middle-aged and three were elderly.
"First Uncle, Eldest Grandfather Hai, Third Elder, Second Elder, Fourth Elder!" Shen Xiang's heart was shocked and he hastily paid his respects to these elders. Except for Shen Haohai, Shen Yihan and the other three Elders were all at the Seventh Realm of Mortal Martial Realm, but now they had entered the Eighth Realm!
"You stinky little kid, is my thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom still useful?" Shen Haohai laughed and said. At that time, he lost to Shen Xiang and was quite painful, but now he saw the scale of Dan Wang Pavilion was so large, he was very surprised.
Shen Yihans face turned cold and his smile was gentle as he said, "I didn't expect you to integrate such a pill shop in such a short period of time and even pull in Dan Wang, our Shen family will definitely become the strongest family in Nanwu country."
The other three elders also praised one after another.
A bald old man said: "The Medicine family is a major obstacle for our Shen family to enter the Imperial City, and there's also Shen Furen!"
"The Great Elder is right, fortunately we got in touch with an old ancestor of the Shen family, it was he who helped us break through to the 8th layer of Mortal Martial Realm with his spiritual elixir! He can't interfere with worldly affairs, so he let us clean up the door and get rid of Shen Furen..." The Second Elder made a "killing" gesture.
Shen Xiang furrowed his brow and said: "What kind of strength does Shen Fu Rong have? How many people did our Shen family bring?"
Shen Tianhu said: "We brought three hundred elite disciples, all of whom are above the fourth level of Mortal Martial Realm. Then there's us old guys."
Shen Tianhu is also a mortal warrior of the 8th rank. Now, there are six warriors in the Shen family who have reached the 8th rank, and with Shen Xiang, that makes seven. This kind of power is extremely astonishing in the Southern Martial Country.
"Shen Furong's strength might be at the level of the 9th layer of the Ordinary Martial Realm. If we six join hands, we can barely hold him back." The Great Elder said with a somewhat serious expression.
Shen Xiang smiled slightly: "If the Shen family and the Yao family erupt in conflict, you can just lead people to kill into the Yao family, and I'll take care of Shen Fu Rong!"
Shen Tianhu and the others were stunned for a moment, and the three elders were so surprised that their mouths were wide open.
"Son... have you actually entered the ninth level of the Mortal Martial Realm?" Shen Tiannu asked with a shocked face.
Shen Xiang's mouth slightly curved upwards as he said, "Although I'm only at the 8th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, I think I should be able to hold off Shen Furuong for a while. This way, all of you seniors can use your overwhelming strength to defeat the Yao family."
Shen Tianhu let out a sigh of relief. If Shen Xiang could enter the ninth level of the Mortal Martial Realm at this age, then these old guys would have to find a block of tofu to knock themselves dead with. However, Shen Xiang's ability to enter the eighth level of the Mortal Martial Realm was still astonishing to them. They all deeply understood that Shen Xiang's strength couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. When Shen Xiang was at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, he could already defeat Shen Yihuan who was at the seventh level. Thinking of this, these few strong members of the Shen family felt a chill run down their spines.
Shen Tianhu and his men left, they were going to lead the three hundred elites to ambush outside the Mingtian Medicine House's square tomorrow, while Shen Xiang also adjusted his state, preparing for various situations tomorrow.
