Chapter Fifty I'm Broke

  Zhao Shi's illusory shadow flickered slightly, revealing his current emotional state was not calm. "Junior brother, don't speak so hastily, if the price is too low, we can still negotiate further, what do you say?"

  "Shixiong is right. Actually, it's not that Shidi's price is low, but there are some necessities that require occasional contact with Lin shijie. If not, I would occasionally look for Lin shijie, and normally we wouldn't even see each other once, the price would still be as previously discussed. What does Shixiong think?" Shen Congdao said, actually he still hoped to complete this transaction, it's a pity if they don't get anything out of it.

  Zhao Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Brother, are you joking? Although I don't usually care about those things, I'm not foolish enough to give them away for free. Today, just give me a straight answer, yes or no. If you agree, everything is easy to discuss. If you don't agree, brother, there are some consequences that you can't afford to bear."

  "Big brother, are you threatening me?" Shen Cong looked at Zhao Shi and suddenly smiled.

  "Why would I threaten you, I'm just stating a fact." Looking at Shen Cong, Zhao Shi's eyes showed disdain. "Although my cultivation is not top-notch, I still have many friends. Disciple brother should consider the consequences of refusing my request. Disciple brother, do you understand what I mean?"

  "Big brother said it clearly, little brother naturally also heard it clearly!" Shen Congyi smiled and walked directly towards Lin Liting's position.

  "Is Junior Brother going down the mountain to resign?"

  Chen paused in his footsteps, "Elder brother is joking, it's not easy to come up this peak, and we haven't even had a chance to get close to Lin sister yet, how can we leave like this."

  Zhao Shi's smile froze, and his confident face seemed to have been punched several times, shattering instantly. Looking at Shen Cong's back, Zhao Shi's eyes narrowed into a line, "Younger brother, you're playing with fire. Many things still need to be thought through before acting, otherwise, you'll regret it later."

  "Brother Shifu said that, this sentence is remembered in Brother Shidi's heart." Without stopping his footsteps, Shen Cong directly walked forward, without any sign of having heard.

  "Good boy!"

  It seemed as if there was a surge of evil fire rising in his heart, Zhao Shi clenched his fists and took deep breaths to calm himself down. At present, his body was just a symbol of the talisman, and his strength was less than one-tenth of its original state, so he would definitely lose in a fight. Moreover, it was impossible for him to fight here, as everyone was watching, especially Lin Liting who was still there.

  Zhao Shi looked at Cao Yu, and Cao Yu seemed to have a feeling, nodding slightly, but understood the meaning of Zhao Shi's gaze. In the future, there will be opportunities, and naturally, Shen Cong will not be let off, for now, let him be carefree for a while, and there will always be time in the future.

  Having received Cao Yu's reply, Zhao Shi's face regained its smile as he followed Shen Cong to stand in front of Luo Qianyun. Zhao Shi no longer looked at Shen Cong and was unable to speak clearly, so he directly took action afterwards.

  The two of them bowed to Luo Qianyun and then shifted their gaze to Lin Liting.

  Lu Qianyun looked at the two people in front of her with some dismay, while the two were chasing after a woman together, which was not unusual, and even multiple men chasing one woman was not a big deal. What's laughable now is that Lin Liting hasn't given either of them a proper look.

  Shen Cong's strength is not bad, and defeating Li Xiao has already proven it. And this Zhao Shi is a well-known wasteful son in the door, with a wealthy family background. Even if he had only heard of him before, today, for the sake of chasing a girl, he directly used the fifth-order Lingyin symbol, which can be known from this.

  "Now that both of you are here at the same time, do you have any good ideas?" Luo Qianyun asked.

  "Master, what else can we do? Just drive them down the mountain and let them be. What are they doing here, I have no interest in them!" Lin Liting said loudly.

  "Sister, you may not like me, but you can't stop me from liking you." Shen Cong looked at Lin Liting and said with deep feeling.

  As soon as the words came out, there was a silence around. This sentence has put itself in an extremely low position, and most confessions are implicit, but today Shen is like he wants to dig out his own heart and lungs, listening to it makes people feel awkward. On the contrary, Shen himself didn't have any feeling at all, now even one-tenth of the romantic words' power hasn't been used yet, according to last life's standards, the previous sentence was still entry-level.

  Lin Liting was taken aback, clearly not expecting this answer. Zhao Shi, who was standing beside her, saw Lin Liting's expression and became anxious. However, he couldn't think of a response to Shen Cong's words, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare to speak up, his face not as thick-skinned as Shen Cong's.

  "A few days ago, I heard that Master Luo's birthday is coming up. Due to the rules and restrictions, I couldn't come in person, and my heart is filled with regret." Zhao Shi suddenly said, then took out an object from his Qiankun bag, "This is a Five-Stage Spirit Grass called Return to Youth Ning, I'm sure Master Luo has also heard of it. After taking it, one can preserve their youth."

  "Returning to the origin is peaceful?" Luo Qianyun was taken aback, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, "I didn't expect you still had this kind intention, it's rare."

  "Master Shibo can take a look, it's the disciple's blessing." Zhao Shi smiled and said, then turned his head to look at Li Mianying and Lin Liting, "I still have some extra Guizhen Ning here, I'll send them to Peak together later, for Master Li and Master Lin, hope you don't mind."

  Li Muying and Lin Liting exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with joy. This was because Yuanning was relatively weaker in spiritual power compared to other spiritual herbs. However, it had one extremely powerful function - it could prolong youth. This effect was naturally useless for men, but for women, it was the best medicine under heaven.

  Is there a woman in the world who doesn't love beauty? Even if cultivation can slow down aging, it's just slowing down. But with this Return to Origin Ning, at least you don't have to worry about looks for decades.

  "Thanks for your kind intentions, junior brother." Li Mianying said with a smile.

  "It was Brother Cao who specifically asked to send it to Sister Shifu, so Sister Shifu can discuss it with Brother Cao." Zhao Shi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said this, also smiling at Cao Yu not far away.

  Shen Cong looked at the scene in front of him, this is the benefit of having money, it was like that in the past and still is now. If he really wanted to chase after that woman, just this alone would make Shen Cong inferior. Fortunately, Shen Cong wasn't really going to chase her, he had only come for the charging today.

  "Unexpectedly, senior brother is so wealthy and content, it's really making junior brother envious." Shen Cong smiled as he leaned in towards Zhao Shi.

  "These are nothing, as long as they can satisfy Shifu and the sisters, that's the most important thing." Zhao Shi glanced at Shen Cong, "Brother must have some things too, why not take them out together? If they're not good enough to be shown off, looking shabby, brother can also lend you some, you can return them later."

  "My junior brother is poor and not as wealthy as my senior brother, he only has a body of stupid strength." Shen Cong said, suddenly punching out. The true energy burst forth, directly punching a hole in the air. The intense spiritual shockwave caused Zhao Shi's figure to sway violently just inches away.

  "What are you doing?" Zhao Shi was shocked and then loudly scolded.

  "Ah, brother forgot that this is my manifestation body, let me take a look, where's the injury?" Shen Cong said, suddenly taking a step forward, his true energy contained but not released, directly grabbing towards Zhao Shi.

  "Ah!" Seeing Shen Cong's movement, it was too late to escape, and only through instinctive reaction, both hands were placed on Shen Cong's arm. I thought it would be a powerful force, but upon contact, it was soft and fluffy.

  "Shen Cong, you dare!" Cao Yu shouted from a distance, his figure transforming into a virtual shadow as he charged over. But it was too late, Zhao Shi's virtual shadow exploded and dispersed, turning into a vast expanse of spiritual energy, leaving behind only some residual spirit symbols to prove that someone had indeed been there just before.

  "Boom!"

  Shen Cong retreated five steps in a row before stopping, and Cao Yu appeared in front of him, with some surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected that this collision would only make Shen Cong retreat a few steps and end the matter.

  Shen Congye looked at Cao Yu, a practitioner who specializes in techniques, but that doesn't mean they can't engage in close combat. Especially when facing an enemy with weaker cultivation than themselves, a practitioner can also excel at close combat. And Cao Yu had previously fought with this in mind, but he encountered Shen Congye, a freak with thick skin and flesh.

  In another place of Luoshui Sect, Zhao Shi was shocked to face the scene in front of him. The Jade Maiden Peak could no longer be seen, and the talisman had been completely destroyed.

  "He...he actually dares to deceive me like this, is there such a reason, is there such a reason!" A furious voice rang out, and the strong treasure's light soared into the sky, startling the surrounding birds to flee in all directions.

  On the top of Jade Maiden Peak, everyone was staring at Shen Cong in shock.

  "Junior brother, what you did just now was excessive, wasn't it?" Cao Yu said in a cold voice.

  "It's really unintentional, but I don't want Brother Zhao to stay either. I hope you all can understand my feelings." Shen Cong said with a smile.

  "You're also intentionally involved in this, aren't you?" Cao Yu narrowed his eyes. "That was a fifth-grade Xianling symbol, and now it's been destroyed by you. Not to mention other things, you should at least compensate me for one or two of them."

  Shen shook his head, "My family is poor and I've said so before, but I'm unable to compensate. However, in the future, I can personally apologize to Brother Zhao and offer him a gift. I think that with Brother Zhao's magnanimity, he certainly won't mind today's matter."

  Cao Yu's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at Shen Cong, but he couldn't believe that this person in front of him could be so shameless. Yet, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with him, which made Cao Yu's teeth itch with anger. If they were anywhere else, Cao Yu would have already struck down Shen Cong with a swift Wind Blade. But since the first move didn't work out, it was no longer possible to make another big move, leaving Cao Yu feeling stifled in his heart.

  Lu Qianyun looked at Shen Cong with a strange expression, this disciple is also a rare talent, and he can actually do such a thing as directly taking action against his love rival. Most people wouldn't dare to do it even if they really wanted to in their hearts, but this child is indeed bold.

  Cao Yu looked at Shen Cong and suddenly said, "Yesterday I saw you defeat Li Xian's junior brother, your combat skills are quite impressive. Cao here is itching for a fight, why don't we have a simple match? It'll also let Lin Shijie see what level your abilities are at, perhaps it will be beneficial for future development!"

  Lin Liting glanced at Cao Yu, originally intending to refute him. However, thinking that Shen Cong would be beaten up by the wolf-like man was a good thing, she didn't stop it. As for Zhao Shi's spirit symbol being scattered, it didn't cause any ripples in her heart. As long as Guiyuan Ning could get it back, everything else was meaningless.

  "Senior brother just finished intense exercise with Li senior sister, I'm afraid it's not good to continue now?" Shen Cong said with a smile.

  Cao Yu was taken aback and glanced at Li Moqing. Li Moqing realized his mistake and couldn't help but glare at Shen Cong. The words were ambiguous, how could he say something like that? Only Lin Liting was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter without a care. The people around them also understood the implication and couldn't help but laugh too.

  "My condition is nothing for you to worry about, it's just a spar with my junior."

  "If it were an ordinary day, my junior brother would have agreed. But today is not possible, my junior brother still wants to communicate with Lin sister properly, and cannot accompany his senior brother." Shen Cong said, came to Lin Liting's face, and bowed.

  Cao Yu's eyes narrowed, gazing at Shen Cong's back, but his heart was coldly laughing. Today, there were many worries and many methods that couldn't be fully utilized. However, as long as they descended from the Jade Maiden Peak, Cao Yu had countless ways to deal with Shen Cong, even without needing to personally take action, he could manipulate the opponent in the palm of his hand.

  He cast a last glance at Shen Cong, and Cao Yu stood up, adjusting his breath. Since he couldn't take action now, let his opponent enjoy himself for a while longer; one day, old scores would be settled together with new grievances.

  "Big Sister!" Shen Cong smiled and said.

  "You want to fight with me?" Lin Liting looked at Shen Cong, "It's not that I look down on you, but now your cultivation is two levels lower than mine, and winning against you would be unimpressive!"

  "Sister Shifu is right, and I also know that Sister Shifu has no feelings for me. Moreover, our cultivation levels are indeed far apart. How about this: I'll make a bet with Sister Shifu. If I happen to win, Sister Shifu will reserve a thought for me, what do you say?"
