What kind of nonsense is this?
Acting?
Even Ah Qing felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
If Jin Bao Wen thought he had found a backing and wanted to take over Shen Ge's good fortune, why not just hide directly instead of making such a clumsy move.
"I..."
Jin Bao Wen struggled to get up, subconsciously looking up at the sky, his eyes filled with a few more points of fear.
Obviously, he also reacted and such actions would definitely make Shen Yi misunderstand him.
But the other party is here as a loose cultivator.
You're being too humble, explaining it on the spot would just give you away.
Doing such things that are deceitful and harmful to both sides, how can there be any room for regret? In the end, it will lead to neither side being satisfied, and one's life may even be in danger.
And these two little gatekeepers, how can they have such mighty strength? Strange indeed!
At this point, Jin Bao Wen hastily withdrew his gaze and put on a flustered appearance: "Absurd! I am a long-time in-law of the Zheng family, why are you blocking me outside? I have always been sincere to the Zheng family. These few people are new friends I've recently made, who came to visit after hearing about the reputation of the Zheng family. Don't be too rude!"
Every word in his mouth is about the Zheng family, but in reality, the object of his loyalty is someone else.
Xu Wenyun's expression flashed with a hint of abnormality.
The young man glanced quietly at the side.
What kind of ability does he have, to scare that old man into such a state?
“……”
Shen Yi had been suspicious of the two young gatekeepers from the start, not Jin Baowen. He looked down at them with a hint of scrutiny.
Just now, when the two of them made their move, there was surprisingly no fluctuation in their breathing.
This kind of situation is not unfamiliar to Shen Yi.
After all, he relied on his tempered body martial arts along the way, and when he struck, he didn't need to mobilize his breath, and had already taken advantage of it many times, deeply understanding this principle.
However, martial arts training does not rely on innate talent, but rather on accumulated effort through diligent practice over a long period of time.
Jin Bao Wen and Zheng's family relationship is still quite close, if it was really Tempering Body Martial Arts, he wouldn't be completely unaware of this, and when he was pushed to the ground just now, he wouldn't have shown a momentary confusion.
There are things that can enhance the progress of martial arts training.
For example, at the beginning of the Golden Gate, there was a golden Bodhi tree.
The Zheng family either possessed some kind of precious plant or had grasped a method similar to Tempering Body martial arts.
Shen Yi was very interested in either case.
In-laws.
The two gatekeepers suddenly burst out laughing.
He stood up indifferently, crossed his arms and said lightly: "The master of the house has said that he will not see guests. Your few words of face are useless, no matter which family's people come to visit, take them back."
Jin Bao Wen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly reacted, looking at the two of them with an air of importance, as if they weren't targeting him.
He suddenly became somewhat anxious.
If Shen Yi can't be brought into the Zheng family today, returning those precious treasures would still be a small matter. The other party might think they've been deceived and in a fit of rage, they could even kill themselves.
Jin Bao Wen lowered his voice: "This is a family of scattered cultivators, their cultivation has reached the level of Hunyuan. Now they are hiding in the world and coming out to find a reliable backing. I had a hard time bringing them to the Zheng family... Please be accommodating, both of you."
Scattered cultivation is often synonymous with bitter practice.
But there are also exceptions.
For example, being naturally calm and reserved, hiding in the world, it is very likely that while having unusual abilities, one also masters some unique methods.
For most forces, they will not easily reject it.
Upon hearing this, the two gatekeepers slowly lowered their arms.
They exchanged a glance at once.
They probably guessed that there was a master of the Hunyuan Sect on the wooden boat, but they didn't expect him to be a loose cultivator.
Wandering cultivators represent having no background... and nobody cares.
"Wait, I'll go ask."
The man on the left nodded and turned into the villa.
"What kind of power is this?"
Shen Yi glanced sideways at the two women beside her.
Ah Qing was about to speak, but was preempted by his aunt: "Out here, what's considered a top-notch power is almost equivalent to being treated as if one has reached the Realm of Demigods. Either they have genuine Demigod Realm cultivators, or they possess means comparable to those of the Demigod Realm. At the very least, they can invite Demigod Realm experts to back them up."
"The Zheng family is obviously the last one."
"Even if a true Transcendent cultivator comes to cause trouble, one can still use the Mountain Protection Formation to stall for a moment and hold on until the cultivators from the Mysterious Light Cave arrive to provide reinforcements."
Xu Wenyun continued: "At the top of the first-class, only Xianmen and Da Qian are left with such absolute power. There are at least more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in town, belonging to a giant in one side, others can't shake them. You'd better stay far away from them. The cultivators inside this kind of force are all arrogant, looking down on us as if we were food for the taking."
“……”
Shen Yi can now confirm that this woman is just like Ah Qing, relying on books to gain knowledge.
Dà Qián is now not even in his teens, apart from himself, there's only one other person who is still silly and foolish.
This title of absolute power has long been a misnomer.
"What's with the question?"
Xu Wenyun suddenly reacted, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed in surprise. "You can't be thinking of taking their Sui Mu... Don't joke around, even if you invited a real Huashen realm expert, they probably wouldn't dare say something like that."
"Just ask casually."
Shen Yi is not just a roughneck who only knows how to kill.
Even if you want to grab it, you have to see if it's useful for yourself first, otherwise isn't that just a waste of incense and effort.
He then communicated with Qing Hua through his divine soul.
"How much longer will it take?"
"Report back to our master, ten days will be enough, Qing Hua will definitely return as soon as possible, wait for me..."
Listening to Qing Hua's expression as if she was afraid of being replaced, Shen Yi directly interrupted the other person's chatter.
About half an incense stick time.
The man at the mountain villa's entrance slowly took out a jade tablet. After listening to the message, he cupped his hands towards the sky: "Please, everyone."
Jin Bao Wen's face suddenly lit up with a smile as he walked in, but unexpectedly, just as he took a step forward, he was grabbed by the arm and pushed back out.
"I invited Master Zong in, what are you doing here, get out."
The goalkeeper gave him a blunt glance.
“……”
Jin Bao's expression was uncertain, and he secretly glanced at the mountain villa.
He always felt that this group of people was hiding something. If he could mix in and get some new information, wouldn't he be able to sell it for a good price again?
At this point, he didn't want to leave anymore.
"Shen Zongshi and I are good friends, he's used to having me by his side..."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper looked at the old man with a hint of a smile and, after a moment's hesitation, stepped aside to let him pass: "Alright."
Xu Wenyun put away the flying boat.
Three people fell from the sky and followed the gatekeeper into the mountain villa.
"Haven't you asked Master Zong's surname yet?"
"Sink."
When traveling outside, people usually use an alias.
But there is an exception, and that's when nobody knows his real name at all.
Shen Yi is just such a case.
Those who knew his name, whether it was Xuanguang Cave or Qianyao Cave, didn't have a single survivor. Moreover, he had only been cultivating for just over a year.
Resulting in being a supreme master of Zhongjing Mixuan, yet is an existence that is completely unknown and nameless.
