Eternal Sword

Chapter 337 Battle of Geniuses

A man in his fifties sat in the main seat in the conference room, with his head slightly lowered, his thumbs gently resting on his temples, and his eyes closed.

But his furrowed brows made him look worried, as if he was troubled by something.

At this moment, a tall man walked over from a distance, neither fast nor slow, but in the blink of an eye, he arrived in the conference room.

The man looked to be no more than fifty years old, handsome and elegant.

However, Shen Che knew that this elegant man was already over seventy years old, but because he had reached the level of a master and returned to his original nature, he looked a few years younger than him.

"Mr. Mingyue, you have worked hard on the journey. Please take a seat."

Shen Che stood up from his main seat, bowed slightly, and showed great respect to the visitor.

This respect is not just because the other party is a powerful master.

It was also because of the help of Mingyue Sanren that the Shen family was able to gain a foothold in Tianhuzhou and govern the area.

Moreover, Mingyue Sanren and his father are old friends.

Before his death, his father repeatedly told him to respect Mingyue Sanren as his master and to discuss everything with him. Only then did he pass the position of military leader to him and left.

The three military leaders of the other three kingdoms were all masters of the same generation as his father.

If it weren't for Mingyue Sanren, who was in charge of the Western Sichuan Kingdom and enforced military discipline and trained an iron-blooded army, the Western Sichuan Kingdom would probably have been swallowed up by the Three Kingdoms in the melee ten years ago.

Mingyue Sanren nodded and smiled, took a seat as instructed, and said, "Yu'er has returned safely."

"Thank you for your care, sir."

Shen Che thanked him again, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Something happened during the time you were away."

"I have heard of it."

Mingyue Sanren said: "Lord of Qiyuan City, Feng Boyi has defected."

"good."

Shen Che said: "Fortunately, before leaving, Mr. reminded me to keep an eye on him, so he didn't cause a disaster in Qiyuan City. The chaos in Qiyuan City has been quelled, and only they, father and son, escaped."

"The loss of Qiyuan City was not great this time, but his son Feng Xing defected with him. This time, the genius battle in the old capital is a bit tricky."

When Shen Che mentioned this, his face turned ugly and he said angrily, "Among the younger generation, Feng Xing has a good family background and the highest martial arts talent. I am very optimistic about him and wanted to observe him for a while longer."

"It's a pity that the Feng family is too impatient. The Old Capital Genius Competition hasn't even started yet, but they're already trying to claim credit by proposing to me in advance!"

Mingyue Sanren said, "They are eyeing your family business."

Shen Che sighed softly, how could he not know it?

He originally had a son whose talents in military affairs and martial arts were no less than his, but unfortunately, he died on the battlefield more than ten years ago.

Now, he only has one daughter, Shen Yu.

The Feng family came to propose marriage simply because they wanted him to inherit the position of military leader of the Western Sichuan Kingdom a hundred years later.

Shen Che did think about finding a son-in-law for Shen Yu. After the two of them got married, if they had a son, he would have the surname Shen and become the future military leader of the Western Sichuan Kingdom.

Feng Xing was originally someone he was quite optimistic about.

Unfortunately……

Shen Che said, "The Old Capital Talent Competition is about to begin. With Feng Xing, we had a chance to get a top five ranking. But now that he has defected to the North Sea Kingdom, the rest of the young men in the army are not very outstanding. I'm afraid we will be wiped out this time."

Mingyue Sanren said, "Yuer brought back two young men from Shenzhou. They caused trouble in Hermit Island. After landing, they were going to go to the old capital to take a boat to leave. I took the initiative to disguise the two and bring them back to the mansion."

"One of them can help the military leader solve the problem of the genius war in the old capital."

"Oh?"

Shen Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "How old is he and what is his cultivation level?"

Mingyue Sanren said: "It should be less than twenty, fifth rank."

"Fifth grade..."

Shen Che asked again: "Does he have a chance to make it into the top five?"

"Have."

Mingyue Sanren spoke with a firm tone.

Shen Che said, "Originally I didn't plan to go to the old capital this time. It would be embarrassing if I went there, and I would definitely be ridiculed by those three. If he can make it into the top five, I can go and take a look." After a moment of silence, Shen Che asked again, "Can this person do it?"

Mingyue Sanren smiled slightly and said, "This person is in the mansion. If the military commander is worried, you may ask him yourself."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Shen Che stood up and walked outside.

Mingyue Sanren did not go with him, saying, "I will not go over there."

Shen Che walked a few steps, then stopped again, and suddenly turned back to ask, "Sir, you just said that they got into trouble in Hermit Island. How big of a trouble was it?"

"It's big."

The bright moon scatters people.

After a pause, Mingyue Sanren continued, "By the way, when Yu'er went to the Hermit Continent this time, someone posted a bounty in the Shadow Building, hiring a hermit to assassinate Yu'er."

Shen Che narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"You should have guessed."

Mingyue Sanren did not respond directly, his tone was indifferent.

Shen Che's face gradually became gloomy and he clenched his fists.

After a while, it gradually loosened.

……

living room.

The three of them waited here for a long time.

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi were both able to remain patient, but Shen Yu was a little restless and would run outside the door from time to time to take a look.

Not long after, a middle-aged man strode in.

Chen Tang looked up.

This man has a resolute face and weather-beaten skin. He is not tall, but has a very strong body. He has thick fingers and a majestic look. He has a unique temperament, which is obviously honed by fighting on the battlefield.

Shen Yu was about to speak, but his eyes rolled and he kept silent, just secretly glancing at the person who came.

Shen Che's eyes wandered around Chen Tang and the other two, and finally landed on Shen Yu's face. He snorted, "Why, after going out, you don't even recognize me as your father?"

"father!"

Shen Yu couldn't pretend anymore, he burst out laughing, ran over, threw himself into Shen Che's arms, raised his head and smiled: "I'm wearing a mask, how can Dad recognize me?"

"No matter how many masks you wear, you can't hide it from me."

Shen Che reached out and rubbed Shen Yu's ears a few times, gently pulled off the human skin mask, and said softly: "Take it off when you get home, there's no need to wear it anymore."

"Ok!"

Shen Yu nodded.

Shen Che looked at Chen Tang and Ye Yushi and said, "My name is Shen Che, the military leader of Sichuan West."

"I am Chen Tang, Yu Di, and I am here to greet the military commander."

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi stood up, clasped their fists slightly, and performed the martial arts salute.

Shen Che nodded and said, "I heard that you guys got into trouble in Hermit Island, and you want to take a boat back to Shenzhou?"

"Exactly."

Chen Tang nodded.

Shen Che said: "In fact, even if you reach the old capital, you may not be able to find a ship. Going to Shenzhou and back again takes too long and is too risky. Not many people are willing to go out to sea."

At this point, Shen Che changed the subject and said, "However, I can send someone to take you out to sea to Shenzhou."

Be obedient and listen to the sound.

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi looked at each other and asked, "What are the conditions of the military commander?"

Shen Che said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask you to help me and also help the Chuanxi Kingdom to fight a genius battle in the old capital."
