Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

This person possesses peak Mahayana strength. Although ranked low in the elders' council, they are quite senior and have a high profile.

"What's the problem?"

Shen Pingping went straight to the point.

"Regarding Miss Nianqing."

The elder didn't mince words and asked, "If I were to sit across from you now and agree to go to support the Northern Wilderness, would Miss Nianqing serve my Shen family in the future?"

Are you daydreaming?!

Shen Yao immediately retorted, "We treated her so badly when she was little. If it weren't for the Haoran Immortal Sect saving her, she would have died in a pack of wolves long ago. Do you think she would still serve my Shen family after all that?"

The elder frowned.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao would yell at an elder like him in such a situation.

That's really unruly.

However, it cannot be denied that Shen Yao's words were not without merit.

The fact that Ye Shuangjin and Shen Yao bullied Shen Nianqing and her daughter was common knowledge in the Shen family; it was no secret.

The reason is also very simple.

It was because of the fortune teller's prediction.

The diviner had made countless predictions throughout his life, and none of them had ever been wrong. Therefore, even these elders had unwavering faith in the diviner's predictions.

They allowed Ye Shuangjin and her daughter to bully Shen Nianqing and her daughter, turning a blind eye.

If he were Shen Nianqing, he probably wouldn't forgive what the Shen family did.

Shen Pingping was also unsure about this issue.

I plan to ask Shen Nianqing herself.

But before asking Shen Nianqing, he felt it necessary to shut Shen Yao up. That girl kept talking, wasting his time.

"You lot, if you see the young master speak again, drag her out and lock her up in solitary confinement!"

Shen Yao...

Everyone fell silent, terrified.

Shen Pingping is serious now.

In the Shen family, although Shen Pingping usually doesn't concern himself with household affairs, when he gets serious, no one dares to confront him directly.

Shen Pingping ignored all of this.

He turned to Shen Nianqing, his expression softening slightly, "Nianqing, you heard what that elder said just now, I wonder if you...?"

"I already said that beforehand."

Shen Nianqing remained as sparing with her words as ever.

Shen Pingping was slightly taken aback, then sighed inwardly.

What Shen Nianqing just said was, "If the Shen family can come to the aid of the Northern Wilderness, then her grudges with the Shen family will be wiped clean."

The elder's intention was to have Shen Nianqing serve the Shen family.

The meanings are very different.

"See that? This is the attitude of that little bitch! Although she has Shen family blood flowing through her veins, her heart is not with the Shen family at all. So what if she has good talent? And even if she has good talent, can she be better than me?"

Seeing that Shen Nianqing refused, Shen Yao immediately spoke with full confidence.

whoosh-

*Smack!*

In an instant, a figure rushed in front of Shen Yao and launched a fierce attack without any mercy!

This is exactly what Changwen said.

He couldn't stand listening to the mother and son calling her a "little bitch" and a "useless woman" repeatedly.

If it weren't for the desire to invite the Shen family to the Northern Wilderness and the need to avoid going too far, Shen Yao would have already covered it up.

"Patriarch Shen, if you can't manage your people, then I don't mind taking care of them for you."

After defeating Shen Yao, Chang Wen returned to his original position, leaving only his voice echoing in the main hall.

"Father...he hit me! He dared to hit me! He dared to hit me on my Shen family's territory! Is this the Northern Wilderness person you willingly helped?!"

Shen Yao had never suffered such humiliation before, and immediately lost her temper. Her sharp shouts echoed throughout the hall.

Snapped! ! !

Shen Yao thought that even if Shen Pingping was incompetent, he would still stand up for her, but she didn't expect that Shen Pingping would slap her in the face!

He knocked her senseless.

"You idiots! Are you four just here to eat and do nothing?! What did I just tell you?! Do you expect me to punish all four of you idiots as well?!"

Before anyone could react, Shen Pingping sternly ordered the Shen family guards, inwardly cursing them for their lack of tact.

The four guards were shocked and quickly dragged the screaming Shen Yao away.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

This……

Why would the head of the family, who is clearly at the Mahayana level, obey the orders of a junior?

Even if they were completely confused, they would have realized something was wrong.

They all cast wary glances at Chang Wen. They unanimously reached a consensus: they absolutely must not provoke Chang Wen.

Even Ye Shuangjin was stunned on the spot, his rationality gradually returning.

She originally thought that Shen Pingping wanted to help Beihuang because she wanted to bring Shen Nianqing back to the Shen family.

But she realized she was wrong.

Shen Pingping's problem is most likely not because of Shen Nianqing, but because of that boy named Chang Wen!

Upon closer inspection, Chang Wen was indeed at the first level of Mahayana Buddhism, far below Shen Pingping.

Why could he command Shen Pingping? Was it because of the embroidered sword in his hand?

……

The situation continues.

The incense near Shen Pingping had burned down to half its original value, and time was running out.

The elders regained their senses and had to make a choice in the time ahead.

soon.

The incense has burned out.

The elders chose to end the meeting.

Only twelve elders came to stand behind Chang Wen and the others.

The two camps were thus formed, with 700 men to 500. The difference between the two sides was 200 men.

No one made a sound.

They waited to see what Shen Pingping would do next, wanting to know what he was up to.

Shen Pingping looked directly at Shen Nianqing and said, "Nianqing, the five hundred elders behind you are all willing to go to the Northern Wilderness to help. According to your wishes, they can make amends for their mistakes, and I will no longer hold it against them."

After speaking, he looked across at the other side, the gentleness in his voice fading, "And of these seven hundred people across from you, you can now point them out one by one, and I will give you justice today."

The words fell.

The entire audience was secretly shocked.

Shen Pingping is about to do a major reshuffle!

Does this mean the Shen family's power structure is about to undergo a major upheaval...?

"Go, Nianqing. Settle any grudges you have, or your mind will never be at peace."

Chang Wen sent a telepathic message to Shen Nianqing.

"Senior Brother, I'm not one to hold grudges."

"I have seen the Shen family's willingness to go to the Northern Wilderness to provide assistance, and I do not intend to pursue the matter further."

Shen Nianqing sent a telepathic reply to Chang Wen.

"You..."

Chang Wen shook his head helplessly, then flicked a beam of light from his fingertip, shining it like a laser pointer onto Ye Shuangjin's forehead. "Is she there?"

Shen Nianqing blinked, then nodded.

Ye Shuangjin gritted her teeth, but dared not lose her temper rashly.

Next.

The light fell on the foreheads of the seven hundred elders one by one, and Shen Nianqing pointed them out one by one, identifying fifty-two in total.

This is what she means by not holding grudges...

However, after the identification was completed, Chang Wen looked at Shen Pingping and said, "Patriarch Shen, I've found everyone for you. Please leave."

Shen Pingping nodded without hesitation, "You fifty-two people are hereby removed from your positions as elders! You will never be employed again! The Shen family will be punished by facing the wall in repentance for a hundred years!"

"Finally, each person will contribute one million top-grade spirit stones as compensation to Nianqing! Anyone have any objections?"

To save time.

Shen Pingping released his half-step Divine Bridge Realm aura directly, pressing down on the fifty-two people.

"Patriarch, may I join your side now? I didn't quite understand before! Actually, I've wanted to go to the Northern Wilderness for a long time! Patriarch, please see this clearly!"

"I fucking want to go to the Northern Wilderness!!!"

"Yes, Patriarch! I've wanted to visit the Northern Wilderness since I was young, but I've always been tied up with family affairs and couldn't get away. Now that I can go to the Northern Wilderness to help, I couldn't ask for more!"

"..."

The fifty-two elders chatted amongst themselves, as if they had relatives in the Northern Wilderness...
