Take a Sigh

Spring in Huajincheng is rainy, the sky outside the window will be bright, and the sky is already drizzle.

Shen Zhuo got up early in the morning. He changed into a black suit today, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, and a dark cloak over his head. His whole person lost a youthful edge and a little more calmness in planning.

The bad weather didn't affect Shen Zhuo's mood, on the contrary he felt that the rain came just in time.The gloomy sky cannot see the bright sun, and the whole Huajin City is shrouded in haze, which makes people feel depressed.

Shen Zhuo sat by the window and listened to the rain. A chessboard was placed on the table next to him.The spiritual lamp in the house was not extinguished, the wind and rain blew, the lights flickered, and the heavy shadow was swayed from side to side by the blowing.

His elbows were propped on both sides of the seat, his fingers were crossed in front of his chest, and his eyes were dark.Before a cup of tea, he sent someone to deliver medicine to Xu Qi. This idea was not a whim, but an answer.

As time passed, the person who was going to deliver the medicine came riding the wind and rain. He put the untouched medicine bottle in both hands, and respectfully said: "Young man, Mr. Xu family said no."

No need, the simple three words verified Shen Zhuo's inner guess, Xu Qi had already decided on his own retreat, and he had no intention of surviving.This time he was desperate to accompany Shen Zhuofeng, a moth to the flame.

Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes and signaled the disciple to put down the medicine and leave.

The sky is getting brighter, but the ink color in Shen Zhuo's eyes is getting thicker and thicker, like a thick fog that cannot be melted, covering all his emotions.He tilted his head slightly, glanced at the medicine bottle on the table, then he stood up, put the medicine bottle into the storage bracelet, and looked up at the chessboard endgame on the table.

The chess pieces are black and white, one side is full of flaws, and the other side loses its helmet and armor. This is a loss for both sides, and no one is spared.

Shen Zhuo picked up a sunspot and dropped it in the stalemate. The sunspot reversed the situation. It broke through the defense of the white stone, and the flaw at the beginning became invulnerable.

Shen Zhuo sneered, then flicked his sleeves to mess up the chess game, and left alone.

The place Shen Zhuo chose to meet was Wanbaolou, and he wanted to gather people from various aristocratic families, so he borrowed Wanbaolou from Duan Yanchun.Duan Yanchun graciously gave up the main hall of Wanbao Building. Not only is the space here enough for Shen Zhuo to play, but there is also a surplus in the side hall. Duan Yanchun and others can fully understand the situation here in the side hall.

The elders said they didn't interfere with Shen Zhuo, but how could they feel at ease with Shen Zhuo's current appearance?

A moment has passed since Shen Zhuo made appointments with each family, and everyone was already waiting in the main hall, but Shen Zhuo was still walking slowly towards this side.He held a miniature version of Jiaojiao in his arms, holding an umbrella with one hand, and walked step by step, very leisurely.

When he reached the gate of Wanbao Building, someone immediately stepped forward to take his umbrella and raised his hand to guide him.Shen Zhuo signaled no need, he knew the way to the main hall.

The promenade is connected here, so you don't have to worry about rain getting your clothes wet.

Shen Zhuo was still not in a hurry, when he walked to the door, those people in the hall who were gathered by Wen Runing but hadn't seen Shen Zhuo for a long time showed expressions of impatience, but they didn't leave.

Because at this moment in the main hall, apart from them, there are also the public losers and the juniors from Wanbaolou, as well as the branch of the Shen family's fourth uncle.

The brothers and sisters of the Duan family are Taoist priests, they take it for granted here, and Shen Zhuo also owes the Duan family an explanation.The public loser had a marriage contract with Shen Zhuo back then, because what happened four years ago was nothing, so the sisters can justify it here.It is more reasonable that the fourth uncle of the Shen family belongs to the Shen family.

But vaguely, these aristocratic families always feel that things are not that simple.

Shen Zhuo was injured, Huanyue Xianzong just lost a disciple, how could Shen Zhuo still have the mood to talk to them?He was seriously injured, and he was unconscious a few days ago, so it should be difficult for him to stand up now.

The aristocratic family gathered because of Wen Runing, it was they who gave Wen Runing face, not because they were really afraid of him, Shen Zhuo.

"Mr. Wen, you were kind to our families in the secret realm four years ago, so we are willing to sell your face and come here to listen to Shen Zhuo explain what happened four years ago. But you see, the agreed time has passed early, Shen Zhuo doesn't even have a shadow, is he playing us like a monkey?"

Someone couldn't hold back, and jumped out first to squeak, the sound of the cup knocking on the table was harsh and toothache.

Duan Qiu raised his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Master Zheng, be careful, something in my Wanbao Building is broken, but I have to accompany you."

The restless Head Zheng was distracted from the topic, seeing that it was Duan Qiu, he dared not speak out.This is on the territory of the Duan family, and he wouldn't dare to mess around even if he had the guts.

When the others saw this, their thoughts of throwing their cups and leaving immediately disappeared.A cup is not worth much, but if Duan Qiu left the words here, it would be Wanbaolou's face.

Head Zheng coughed dryly for a while, and gave the others a look, signaling them to say something too.

Mei Ruohui, who usually has a good personal relationship with the head of Zheng, cleared her throat, and said with a gentle attitude: "The sincerity of all of us is already here, but we have not seen the sincerity of the Shen family at all. Who will tell you whether Shen Zhuo can come?" A correct word?"

Mei Ruohui didn't directly name Wen Runing, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the juniors in front of him were part of the same group.They had a good relationship with Shen Zhuo before, and there was no conflict after Shen Zhuo came back. You came and I kept going.

They don't seem to come to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes, but they seem to come... to support the situation.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, junior brother..." Wen Runing smiled and had a gentle attitude, making people feel like a spring breeze.He paused with a smile, turned his eyes to the door, and said, "The junior brother has come."

Following Wen Runing's words, they turned their gazes, and everyone saw Shen Zhuo standing at the door, holding a petite snow leopard in his arms.The thick and long tail hung down, flicking it one after another, and he was in a good mood.

Shen Zhuo's aura today is different from the past, and the solemnity makes people feel awe.He strode across the door and took a seat directly in the first seat left.As he sat down, the faces of the surrounding families became extraordinarily exciting.

This is the main hall of Wanbao Tower, and it is surprising that Shen Zhuo borrowed it for use. As scholars, the brothers and sisters of the Duan family all sat on the right side, instead of going over the steps to the sergeant's seat.Because this seat belongs to the head of Wanbao Building, even if it is lent to Shen Zhuo, Shen Zhuo shouldn't be like this.

Everyone clearly reserved a place for him in the lower left, but he turned a blind eye and was extremely arrogant.

"What kind of eyes are you guys seeing? Can't I sit in this seat?"

Shen Zhuo sat on it with a golden knife, he had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and his words were slightly mocking.

Everyone looked at the brothers and sisters of the Duan family who were unresponsive. The host Taoist didn't speak, and they wisely didn't ask.

"Mr. Shen is so impressive. Those who don't know think we are all inviting you." The head of Zheng's sect gave a strange mouthful, his attitude was not good, and the Shen Zhuo in his eyes was not much different from four years ago .

Shen Zhuo caressed Jiaojiao's back, stared at Sect Leader Zheng with a half-smile and said, "It seems that Sect Leader Zheng is very anxious, if that's the case, why don't you let me give you a ride."

"Jiaojiao." Shen Zhuo patted the little snow leopard in his arms, and ordered: "Swallow him!"

Jiaojiao took the order, jumped up from Shen Zhuo's arms in an instant, and flew towards the head of Zheng.At first it was only the size of a palm, but when it landed in front of Sect Leader Zheng, it was already the size of a mountain, with a big mouth, and its white fangs were like blades, easily piercing the throat of the man in front of him.

Head Zheng turned pale with fright, and hastily sacrificed the magic weapon, and the gorgeous seven-color divine light formed a protective cover, firmly protecting him inside.

Jiaojiao stopped the attack in time, twisted her body in the air, and instantly turned around, her big tail, which was almost as long as her body, lashed out fiercely.

Jiaojiao knows how to use the demon power, and it makes the demon power explode on the tail, and the air billows instantly, hitting the protective cover of head Zheng with a bang.

Click, click, click.

Only three crisp sounds were heard, and the seven-color protective cover instantly disintegrated.Head Zheng's blood surged from the shock, and horror welled up in his eyes.

Jiaojiao licked her paw, bowed her waist, and the leopard paw, which was bigger than the head of Zheng's head, fell down like a wind.Head Zheng jumped up from his chair without even thinking about it, and quickly backed away.

The leopard's claw smashed the seat, leaving ten feet deep claw marks on the blue rock of the hall.If this claw falls on the head of Zheng, the consequences can be imagined.

Head Zheng was sweating profusely and sacrificed his weapon, but just as he made the tactic, he found his body was flying up uncontrollably.Taking a closer look, the snow leopard flashed behind him at some point, picked up his back collar and slammed it, flying him directly in front of Shen Zhuo, and smashed it hard on the Qingyan.

With this blow, Sect Leader Zheng's viscera were dislocated, and the other people's hearts trembled violently as well.

Of course they knew this snow leopard. On the day when Shen Zhuo had an accident, it tore down the inn with one paw, and flew away the monks who wanted to capture it alive with its tail.But at that time, everyone didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and only thought that this monster was stronger.

Goodbye today, is this more than tough?It is simply crushing by absolute strength.This snow leopard is weird, everyone's eyes are unpredictable, they are thinking and calculating.

Jiaojiao doesn't understand the intrigues of human beings, it rushed to Shen Zhuo and sniffed the head of Zheng who was lying on the ground, and sobbed aggrievedly.

Shen Zhuo picked up the teacup and drank it himself, his movements were calm and even more fierce.He took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes to look at the coquettish Snow Leopard, and said with a light smile, "Don't want to swallow for fear of having a stomachache? Then forget it. Master Zheng is playing with you, so you should also help him."

Jiaojiao shook her big head, her red-lined evil eyes did not look at Shen Zhuo's tenderness, her cold beast-like eyes stared at people's spine with chills.

Sect Leader Zheng vomited a mouthful of blood angrily, Jiaojiao was immediately disgusted, she slapped and hooked Sect Leader Zheng back to his position.

It's just that there is only a mess there at the moment.

Jiaojiao didn't give alms to this defeated subordinate, she fell asleep in front of Shen Zhuo, with her big head resting on her folded forearms, her ruthless eyes stared fiercely at these people in front of her, mighty and terrifying.

Someone couldn't help shivering, and the hairs on their backs stood on end.The coercion of the ferocious beast is no less than that of the Venerable.

When everyone's eyes were too much between Shen Zhuo and Jiaojiao, Duan Qiu said at the right time: "Master Zheng, remember to pay for things."

Head Zheng, who hadn't recovered from the humiliation, was furious when he heard the words: "Don't bully people too much!"

"We're just bullying you, so what should you do?" Shen Zhuo snorted coldly, his eyes burning brightly.

His words were particularly deafening, and everyone present couldn't help being shocked.When they besieged Shen Xiao and Ye Lanxi four years ago, head Zheng said the same thing.

At this moment they finally realized, confessed?What are you kidding?Shen Zhuo clearly came to collect debts from everyone!

He was giving back to them little by little what everyone had done to the Shen family four years ago.
