They are the women standing behind me.

The Shen Zhen clan roared in rage, "Even Fengyun City was built by the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. Our ancestors had to obtain the sect's permission to expand here. If the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect fell, no one would be left standing. Without the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, do you really think our Shen family would still exist?"

The Shen Zhen clan knew that although their ancestor came from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, the Shen family members had no feelings for the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect.

How can they have a sense of belonging and identity?

Therefore, in the eyes of the Shen family, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect is just a big force that has nothing to do with their own family, not much different from the Sword Sect and the Taixu Ancient Sect.

"Anyway, I've made it clear to you now. Stop associating with Yu Leyu, a disciple of the Sword Sect. You must remember that you are not only a member of the Shen family, you also have a fiancé!"

Shen Zhenzu's voice was filled with oppressive majesty. "Father knows that Yu Leyu saved you. Since ancient times, women have always had some affection for strong men who have saved their lives, are handsome, and have a good family background. But given the current relationship between the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and the Sword Sect... we must be prudent. Moreover, Qin Xingyuan will soon be visiting my Shen family. He is an important guest that even our ancestors have to personally receive!"

"Qin Xingyuan? Haha..."

Shin Qingshu said with disdain, "He's just a ridiculous person who doesn't know his place, is so arrogant and conceited that he can't even stand a chance. He even dares to claim that he's beyond human reach and beyond heaven, and even calls himself invincible in his realm. It's really ridiculous. He's not even as good as Brother Yu's little finger."

"W-what did you say?!"

Shen Zhenzu's face was filled with anger. "Try saying that again!"

"Qin Xingyuan is that kind of person. I didn't say anything nonsense or slander him. Could it be that I can't even tell the truth now?"

Shen Qingshu was unconvinced and said, "It was actually the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and Qin Xingyuan who were at odds from the beginning. Everyone can see that it was Qin Xingyuan who disrespected the Sword Sect's Patriarch first. As a result, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect not only refused to let Qin Xingyuan apologize publicly, but also continued to behave in this way... It's true that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect is no match for Brother Yu's Sword Sect. But think about it, how can their Patriarch compare to the Patriarch of the Sword Sect?"

After hearing such outrageous and confusing remarks, Shen Zhenzu was so angry that he slapped someone in the face.

'Snapped'!

The slap was loud.

With a slap mark on her cheek, Shen Qingshu looked at Shen Zhenzu with extreme disbelief, as if she was completely stunned.

Shen Zhenzu's expression was extremely cold, and his voice was icy and filled with ruthless cruelty. "It seems that your father dotes on you too much! If you dare to say that again, I will smash your mouth!"

Shin Qingshu raised her hands to cover her face and said nothing.

"Have you, you evil beast, told Yu Leyu that Qin Xingyuan is coming to attend the birthday celebration of my Shen family's ancestor?" Shen Zhenzu asked in a stern voice.

"I told you so!"

Shin Qingshu's face turned pale and she nodded with gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenzu stared at Shen Qingshu with a cold glint in his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "And then?"

"Nothing much, it's just that Big Brother Yu decided to come with a few good friends he met outside to celebrate the old ancestor's birthday."

Shen Qingshu sneered, "Since ancient times, how many people can stand the arrogant and conceited people? Who can like such people? The one who is wrong is of course Qin Xingyuan, it can't be anyone else, right?"

When Shen Zhenzu raised his right hand again, Shen Qingshu spoke confidently, "Otherwise, I don't understand why you didn't find someone else but Qin Xingyuan? Even if the Sword Sect is ninety percent wrong, can it be said that Qin Xingyuan is not even one percent wrong? So pure and innocent?"

……

Chapter 46: All the mistakes are Qin Xingyuan's fault

……

Two hours later, the sun was setting in a restaurant.

Yu Leyu, a disciple of the Sword Sect who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, was drinking with two other cultivators of the same realm, talking freely and having a great time.

"Qin Xingyuan is coming to attend the birthday celebration of the Shen family's ancestor." Yu Leyu chuckled.

Nie Pengyi and Tan Chenlang, two of his close friends, were curious. Nie Pengyi asked, "Brother Yu, where did you get the news?"

"I once saved a member of the Shen family when I was out on a sect mission. Someone contacted me and told me this, so I came here specially and invited you two brothers to come and get together."

Yu Leyu smiled calmly and invited, "Would you two like to go with me to the Shen family to celebrate my birthday?"

Nie Pengyi and Tan Chenlang looked at each other when they heard this, and they knew that Yu Leyu was probably going to cause trouble for Qin Xingyuan.

Although they had indeed heard of Qin Xingyuan's name, they had a natural and instinctive dislike for Qin Xingyuan, a man who was so arrogant and conceited.

But at worst they can just not make friends or have any dealings with him. There is no direct conflict of interest between the two sides, so there is no need for them to jump out and confront Qin Xingyuan, and make enemies with a peerless genius who has the support of a powerful force and is extremely powerful and terrifying.

"Brother Yu, since we are good friends, I will be more direct in my words. There are some things that I really cannot get involved in."

Nie Pengyi got straight to the point and said, "After all, I have power behind me."

"Brother Yu, please don't do anything."

Tan Chenlang was also quite frank, as if speaking from the heart, "Brother Yu's realm is higher than Qin Xingyuan's. Even if it's just a small realm higher, it's still higher. If this gets out, it will really seem like he's bullying others with his realm, which is never a good thing."

It is okay to bully others by relying on your higher level of cultivation.

But you can't do it in public, otherwise it's not called being inferior to others, but bullying the weak, and the big forces behind others will be qualified to interfere.

Even if the disciples of a big power take advantage of their status to bully people from small and medium-sized forces, although the small and medium-sized forces certainly dare not say anything, it will be even more unpleasant if the news spreads.

Moreover, big forces have to have some dignity. If a disciple of their sect openly bullies the weak everywhere, will they really just ignore it?

Yu Leyu smiled gently and said in a pleasant manner, "If you two are embarrassed, how could I, Yu, be so tactless as to force you to do so? Let's drink, and enjoy it to our heart's content."

But at this moment, Yu Leyu felt that the Heaven and Earth Mirror he carried with him had some movement. He took it out and saw that it was Shen Qingshu who contacted him.

He put down his glass and said, "My two buddies, I'm going to pick someone up and introduce him to you."

Nie Pengyi and Tan Chenlang nodded. After Yu Leyu left, Nie Pengyi frowned and said, "He wants to drag us into this, so that the forces behind Qin Xingyuan and ours will also clash. Then, of course, the forces behind us will unite with the Sword Sect against this enemy."

"Brother Nie, I think it's best not to interact with Yu Leyu too much in the future. She's not someone you can become close friends with. Just maintaining a relationship will be enough."

Tan Chenlang shook his head and said, "After all, friends help each other. If he's in trouble and asks us to lend a hand, that's fine. But trying to deliberately drag someone down, is that something friends can do?"

……

Yu Leyu came to a place and saw that Shen Qingshu had slap marks on her cheek, her face was swollen, and even her lips were broken.

I don’t know how many slaps she received, but it must have been a lot.

He asked in surprise and concern, "What's going on Qingshu?"

"I was slapped in the face by my father!"

Shen Qingshu's tone was gloomy. "He also told me to swear before tonight that I would never associate with any disciples of the Sword Sect again, otherwise my cultivation would be abolished and I would be expelled from the family. He declared that I was no longer a member of the Shen family, and that everything I did from now on would have nothing to do with the Shen family. If I didn't go back, I would have nowhere to stay. I had no choice but to go back and swear."

Then Shin Qingshu told Yu Leyu what had happened.

Yu Leyu fell into deep thought.

This woman was clearly telling him that she wanted to break with the family and wanted him to take her away.

In fact, Yu Leyu knew in her heart that Shen Qingshu must want to leave the Shen family. If she didn't leave the Shen family, she would have to marry her fiancé.

She had no way to resist her family.

Even if she ran away, because of their blood connection, the family could easily catch her back, and she would not be able to escape at all.

So someone had to take her away and give her a place to stay.

Even when Shen Qingshu spoke for Jian Zong in front of her father, she was clearly telling him that she had already made her attitude clear. If he did not express his position, she naturally would not dare to really stand on his side completely.

Otherwise, what will she do then?

After all, she still has a way out now.

As long as she was willing to go back and swear not to associate with the disciples of the Sword Sect, her father would naturally not spread her rebellious remarks everywhere.

Otherwise, if this gets to the ancestors' ears, will her father still be able to be the head of the family?

Her father would never say it even if it was just for the sake of his position as the head of the family.

And if he really lied to her, used her, and then didn't care about her anymore, even a fool would know that she would definitely not have a good ending, but how could she not hate and be angry?

She was so sincere to him, and this is how he treated her?

What if the Shen family takes advantage of her resentment and makes her swear an oath and spread the news everywhere?

This can let the outside world know that this is the fate of those who speak for or do things for the Sword Sect.

Yu Leyu knew what was going on, but he was furious. "Qin Xingyuan is truly a bad guy. Although Qingshu wasn't beaten by him, she was beaten because of him. How is that any different from being beaten by Qin Xingyuan?"

Yu Leyu then advised earnestly, "Qingshu, your father has no choice. After all, the Shen family has the support of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. Whether they like it or not, they have to side with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect on the surface. But the cause of this matter, tracing it back to the root, all lies with Qin Xingyuan. Your father gave birth to you, raised you, provided you with food and clothing, and so on. It was really not easy. In fact, if it weren't for Qin Xingyuan, how could you be treated like this today? All these mistakes are Qin Xingyuan's fault. Don't hate your father, but hate Qin Xingyuan!"

"Brother Yu is right. So what should we do?"

Shin Qingshu couldn't help but ask.

"I have thought about this. If he challenges me and I don't dare to accept, it will only bring shame to the sect. It will even make it seem like I'm afraid of Qin Xingyuan. If he forces a fight, I will naturally have no choice but to accept. This is not just bullying others with my realm. Moreover, in the eyes of the outside world, he will be seen as arrogant and conceited, looking down on everything and not taking cultivators of higher realms seriously. In the end, he will bring shame upon himself."

Yu Leyu brought out his attitude, "But as for this Shen family, Qingshu, you absolutely cannot go back. You must come with me now. I will take you to the Sword Sect. You will first become my nominal disciple under the name of my Taoist companion. After passing various assessments, you will become a formal disciple."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu blushed slightly and stared at Yu Leyu in a trance. Then she nodded gently and said confidently, "No matter how powerful Qin Xingyuan is, he is definitely no match for Brother Yu!"

"Humph, I am also a disciple of the Sword Sect after all. Qin Xingyuan has repeatedly and openly humiliated my sect. It is my duty to protect the glory of the sect!"

Yu Leyu angrily shouted, "Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated!"

In this way, the elders, brothers and sisters in the sect will probably regard him as a hero in the future?

You can even become famous in one fell swoop.

He was not stupid and did not dare to kill Qin Xingyuan.

After all, to kill Qin Xingyuan, even if the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect did not take action with the Sword Sect, it would be easy for the big figures of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect to secretly kill him completely, right?

He just needs to step on Qin Xingyuan.

"Anyway, the Shen family certainly won't dare to publicize your relationship with the Sword Sect's disciples. I'm afraid they'll completely suppress it and won't dare let Qin Xingyuan know anything."

Yu Leyu said thoughtfully, "Besides, it should be some time before Qin Xingyuan arrives. I will also contact some disciples from the same sect and realm to come. When he arrives, Qingshu, use the Heaven and Earth Mirror to contact Shen Haoqiong and tell him that you want to introduce him to Qin Xingyuan. It would be best if Qin Xingyuan comes with him. If he doesn't come... I'm sure Shen Haoqiong will come too. As long as he doesn't know about this, he will definitely give you, his cousin, a favor. If he knows about this, he might even come, and he might even scold you."

Shen Qingshu listened, taking it to heart. Seeing Yu Leyu, she continued, "If Qin Xingyuan doesn't come, I will definitely provoke Shen Haoqiong. This will definitely let Qin Xingyuan know. Given Qin Xingyuan's personality, how could he not show up? I hope you can understand, Qingshu, that I am not deliberately embarrassing your people. Some things are really unavoidable."

Shen Qingshu nodded, as if she understood, and said in a comforting tone, "I know Brother Yu definitely doesn't want to do this, but in order to maintain the glory of the sect, sometimes there is really no choice."

Yu Leyu smiled and said, "So it would be best if Qin Xingyuan came along. This way we can directly target him. He already dislikes the Sword Sect's disciples. He's also the type who doesn't know his place, is arrogant and conceited. I'm afraid if we provoke him, he'll completely lose his composure. This way, we can both uphold justice and make him humiliate himself!"

……

Chapter 47? The name of the heavy sword!

……

Time flies by quickly.

Nearly half a month before the birthday of the Shen family's ancestor, Qin Xingyuan, Gu Yirou and Shen Haoqiong had already set out - they couldn't just go on time, so of course they had to go a little earlier.

Qin Xingyuan also planned to have a good time shopping and buy a lot of gifts.

Send Senior Sister Gu, Senior Sister Ye and Elder Mei who were unable to come, the elders who taught him, as well as the Supreme Elder Nangong Xinhe Master, the eldest senior brother Gui Yiling, the inner door elder Wang Rongyao, and so on.

So he also asked Senior Sister Gu to collect the 'monthly salary spirit stones' that he had received every month since he joined the sect.

Although he had accumulated a lot of wealth over the past hundred years, he still couldn't afford to buy expensive ones. But this was his token of his appreciation after all.

Of course, Gu Yirou, who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, was driving a magic weapon that looked like a small boat. This was called the Ferry Boat. With Sister Gu's realm, it was extremely fast and could move a hundred miles in one breath.

After all, the Shen family was located in the territory of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, so it wasn't that far away. Plus with this speed, it didn't take them too much time to fly over thousands of mountains and rivers and reach the Shen family.

The Shen family occupies a large area in Fengyun City, and Qin Xingyuan feels that the entire Shen family is no different from a royal palace.

Solemn, solemn, grand, luxurious...

Now Qin Xingyuan, Gu Yirou and Shen Haoqiong have also arrived at the main hall of the Shen family, and many members of the Shen family are also present.

Shen Haoqiong had indeed joined the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect when he was young. Unless something big happened in the family, he usually didn't come back. But now he still instinctively and keenly noticed that the atmosphere among the people in the main hall was indescribably subtle. He didn't even see the head of the family, Shen Zhenzu.

Senior Brother Qin, such an important guest, arrived, and the head of the family didn't show up?!

Even though Shen Haoqiong had doubts in his mind, he couldn't ask in public.

The Shen family patriarch, now with white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and cloudy eyes, smiled warmly and said, "Junior Brother Qin and Junior Sister Gu have come from afar. Please rest for a while and come to the welcoming banquet in an hour... Oh, I'm confused, Junior Brother Qin, look..."

The ancestor of the Shen family took out a storage bag and took out a sword in a scabbard. This was his gift to Qin Xingyuan.

If he really couldn't come up with a gift, he wouldn't let Shen Haoqiong invite Qin Xingyuan to attend.

Qin Xingyuan also discovered that this sword was not an ordinary flying sword.

The scabbard was quite wide, and it was obviously a heavy sword, and it looked nothing special.

"This heavy sword was found by me a hundred years ago in a deep mountain forest. I wanted to pull it out and see its splendor, but I was helpless. It even seemed like I suffered a backlash, so I was injured. It took me several months to heal. So this heavy sword is really fierce."

The Shen family patriarch seemed to be a little scared at the thought. "This is probably a very powerful treasure. Since it is a powerful treasure, it has its own spirituality. Naturally, it cannot be used by everyone. But I think that Junior Brother Qin, who follows the sword path of our sect, may be able to control it. So I thought of giving the sword to heroes and giving it to Junior Brother Qin. I hope Junior Brother Qin will not refuse it."

Deep mountains and old forests?
