My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 305 Scheming
Regarding the upcoming so-called exchange war
Shen Fuxing didn't take it to heart at all.

Because he himself didn't have a good reputation outside.

Cowardly, incompetent, and henpecked.
These are all labels attached to him.

Its reputation to begin with wasn't much better.
Therefore, even if the Shen family is about to be trampled underfoot in three days and lose face, it will not bring him any loss.

in contrast,

The leaders of the other branches of the family coveted the position of clan chief.

Therefore, over the years, considerable resources and financial efforts have been spent to cultivate leading geniuses.

The purpose is to demonstrate one's abilities.
He expressed his ability to lead the Shen family in a better direction.
Thus, they seized the position of their own clan leader!
have to say,

This did indeed cause him some trouble.

Especially considering that the two prodigy sons, Shen Chong and Shen Changchuan, rose to prominence one after another, yet both became estranged from the Shen family.

This meant that the patriarch had already developed some reservations about him.

Although the patriarch did not say it explicitly to him.
But he could already clearly sense the dissatisfaction from his ancestor.

Shen Fuxing was very clear that

The patriarch is the true ruler of the Shen family.

It is the entity that determines everything for the Shen family!

If this continues,

The position of clan leader is very likely to be in jeopardy!

Because of this matter,

Shen Fuxing was originally worried and thinking about how to suppress those guys.

Now Zhou Lingyun has come knocking on our door.

But that's exactly what happened—they handed him the knife.

"You've all been jumping around quite enthusiastically lately, but in the upcoming exchange challenges, those geniuses you've pushed to the front can't just sit out, can they?"

"Hehe, being eager to stand out might leave a good impression on the ancestor."

"But at the same time, even if the sky falls, it has to be the tall ones who can hold it up!"

Shen Fuxing revealed a cold smile.

No need to think too much,

Everyone knows how much difference there is between the younger generation of the Shen family and the prodigies from Zhongzhou.

The Shen family is doomed to lose the exchange battle three days from now!

and,

Since Zhou Lingyun stood up for his aunt...
They might even give the Shen family members who are going to fight a severe humiliation!
As a result,
Those who are jumping around too much will all face a heavy blow, one by one!

Using someone else to do the dirty work
That's exactly what he's good at!

As for Zhou Lingyun?
"Hmph, just a greenhorn. He's utterly ignorant!"

Recalling the hint of disdain in Zhou Lingyun's eyes earlier,
Shen Fuxing sneered inwardly.

He never took Zhou Lingyun seriously.

It was just a knife in his hand.
If it weren't for the other party's family background...

He can even torment his opponent to death!

"Killing two birds with one stone, sir, your cunning is truly unparalleled!"

The figure in the shadows spoke in a flattering tone.

"Okay."

Shen Fuxing leaned back in his chair, his somewhat obese body relaxed, and he looked quite content.

The scheme involved was extremely simple.

With a gentle flick of the wrist, using the opponent's force against them.

effortless!

now,

Shen Fuxing suddenly remembered several years ago,

The matter of that wicked son named Shen Chong's defection,
After learning about the situation,

In other words, it was simply a push from behind, letting those ambitious real estate groups know about it.
So, in order to damage his reputation, those families spread the news of Shen Chong throughout the city in a short period of time.

It caused quite a stir.

They didn't put in much effort at all.
This left that wicked woman, Zhou Yi, in a sorry state, unable to even take care of herself.

That was true then, and it is true now!

This time, however, the Zhou family is being used as the weapon to deal with those delusional fools.

Act in accordance with the prevailing trend.

This is the true way!

then,

The matter of the exchange battle,
It spread very quickly.

Zhou Lingyun, the young master of the Zhou family from the vast cultivation world of Zhongzhou, wants to have a sparring match with the younger generation of the Shen family under the age of fifty.

In the world of cultivation...

Sparring and fighting are not uncommon.

Even close friends sometimes have a match to improve and hone their skills.

Logically speaking
Zhou Lingyun came from the more prosperous and vast cultivation world of Zhongzhou.

Therefore, for the cultivators of the Shen family, this was a great opportunity for them, from remote cultivation areas, to witness the power of the legendary, prosperous cultivation world.

We should be very proactive about this.

however,
When the news spread,
Inside the Shen family,

But then everything fell silent.

There was even a faint sense of resistance.

There's nothing we can do.

Who told us that not long ago,

A news item recently spread within the Shen family compound: Zhou Lingyun, who had come from Zhongzhou to visit her aunt, was quite dissatisfied with her aunt's current situation.

Some unsparing rumors have already begun to circulate outside.

Given Madam Zhou Yi's past arrogance and condescension,
As Zhou Lingyun, who also comes from the Zhou family
Who doesn't know that his so-called "exchange war" is nothing more than him venting his anger for his aunt?

Nobody's a fool!
Naturally
It is perfectly normal to resist this exchange battle.

Because this is destined to be someone else's limelight, someone who's just there as a backdrop.

But the problem is,
Some things you can't simply avoid doing just because you don't want to.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Fuxing, has already made it public.
"They've come from afar, kindly offering to give you pointers and show you the splendor of a wider world. How can we waste their good intentions?"

"Now is also a good opportunity to test the strength and achievements of the disciples of each branch of the family, so as to prevent some mediocre people from taking up the majority of the family's cultivation resources by boasting about their achievements."

"For the sake of the family and for the future, every branch of the family must send a representative to fight!"

"Regardless of victory or defeat, we must at least show the spirit of the Shen family of Tiannan!"

Under the pressure of righteousness,
The various sons and daughters of the family are now in a predicament where they cannot advance or retreat.

Meanwhile, amidst the undercurrents swirling within the Shen family compound...
Shen Changchuan was sitting in another manor in Tiannan City.

"Brother, you look so worried, what happened?"

Sitting opposite Shen Changchuan at this moment,

It was Shen Tingchu, who had many interactions with Shen Changchuan!

not long ago,

After choosing his own compensation and bidding farewell to the ancestor,

Shen Changchuan, who was about to leave, happened to run into Shen Tingchu.

So, at the other party's invitation,

That's where he came from.

"Sigh, what else could it be but the exchange battle with Zhou Lingyun in two days?"

Shen Tingchu took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile.

"Exchange warfare? What's that?"

"do not you know?"

Shen Tingchu found it somewhat strange.

"I only recently arrived in Tiannan City. After that, I was summoned by the Ancestor, and some things took up a lot of time. I haven't had time to find out what's going on outside or what happened."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'll lose face a little."

Shen Tingchu shook his head with a wry smile.
