Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 285: Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe

Xu Shen did not stay in the hotel for long. He had to solve these three problems before he had a chance to rescue Ding Yumian.

In his opinion, the easiest thing to solve should be the defense map of the Holy Residence.

However, he went to the Qingtian Hunting House several times but never saw Old Man Bao.

Apparently, even this mysterious giant chose to avoid the Holy City.

On an afternoon with heavy rain, Xu Shen stood at the entrance of Qingtian Hunting House for a long time. Feeling helpless, he sighed and left sadly.

Xu Shen has never been a person who consumes himself. Since this problem is difficult to solve for the time being, he will skip the next one.

Xu Shen asked many people about the magic weapon that could conceal aura.

Hard work pays off, and finally there is a clue.

Professor Qiu Yuhua told Xu Shen that the most precious treasure of the Ancient Capital Museum, the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe, had a very strong concealing effect. However, this ancient magic weapon was already broken and extremely difficult to repair.

Ancient capital...

Xu Shen has extremely complicated feelings towards this city.

He sympathized with those people in the outer city who were used by the Black Church and became sacrifices for the revival of the ancient king.

I also hate those privileged people who survive in the inner city by relying on the protective barrier.

What is even more hated are those decision makers who are ignorant of the suffering of the people, who always talk about sacrificing this and that, but never sacrifice themselves.

They reaped the fruits of their own actions, and that was just the end they deserved.

But it doesn't mean the matter is over.

Yu Mian suffered this misfortune for no reason. If he were not so weak, he would have let those high-handed carnivores in the ancient capital have a taste of what it feels like to have his fate mocked by others.

Xu Shen took a deep breath and held it in for the time being.

The value of the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe cannot be measured by money, and to obtain it, one has to temporarily flatter these people.

However, before he could go to the ancient capital, people from the ancient capital arrived.

The man was called Li Yuyi, Li Yujian’s younger brother and the new head of the Li family. He was brought here by Dean Fu.

There was also a girl accompanying them, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and was extremely pure and lovely. Even in Mingzhu Academy, which was full of beautiful girls, her looks alone were enough to make her one of the school beauties.

"The great Li family..."

Xu Shen muttered to himself, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment.

The identity of the victim in Yumian was leaked by Li Yujian.

Although Li Yujian has been stripped of his position as the head of the family and has been driven to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to guard Anjie, he is not dead yet.

As long as he is not dead, this grudge will never be resolved.

Xu Shen's undisguised hatred made Li Yuyi smile bitterly.

"I heard that you needed the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe, so I brought it here."

Li Yuyi said this and winked at the girl who was accompanying him.

The girl then respectfully took out a gift box carefully carved from agarwood and presented it with both hands.

Xu Shen frowned slightly. This man seemed to want to repair his relationship with him?
He did not take the gift box, but stared at Li Yuyi, waiting for what to come next.

Li Yuyi said: "Brother, your decision is absolutely selfless, but now that things have come to this, it is useless to say these things. We are very sorry about Ding Yumian's matter. The Liuli Phoenix Feather Clothes is our Li family's insignificant compensation to you."

"My eldest brother said that he has lost his life. If he can come back alive from Kunlun, he will repay me with his own death. I only ask you not to bring trouble to the Li family."

Xu Shen was slightly startled.

He couldn't handle Li's attitude.

Such a huge creature actually begged humbly from a mere high-level wizard like him?
Isn’t this scene a little too magical?

"Xu Shen, I brought them here today specifically to act as a peacemaker. No one is untroubled by Yu Mian's situation, but the interests of our country come first, so I..."

Dean Fu was choking with sobs and unable to speak. How could he not be heartbroken to know that the child he regarded as his own daughter might be imprisoned for life?

"It's just... Shenzhou has been like this since ancient times."

Li Yuyi added with a wry smile: "In this world surrounded by demons, the ethnic groups that have survived for thousands of years and have tenaciously taken root have never lacked suffering and sacrifice."

Xu Shen sneered, not wanting to argue. In this world, any nation that has survived to this day, if you randomly ask, is filled with sacrifices and sufferings.

However, these people have forgotten the reason why Shenzhou is Shenzhou.

This is because what our ancestors left behind, in addition to sacrifice, was the persistence of Yugong moving mountains and the resistance of Xingtian dancing with his Qi!

Dare to change the sun and the moon and create a new world. This is the spirit of the Chinese nation!

Kneeling down and groveling, sacrificing Ding Yumian today, who will be sacrificed tomorrow, and who will be sacrificed the day after tomorrow?

When one day, we have been sacrificed to the point where there is nothing left to sacrifice, will we become dogs of the holy city, or will our country and race be destroyed?

These people have brought shame to our ancestors!

"I'll take the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe." Xu Shen took the gift box and saw that these people were still not leaving. He asked coldly, "Anything else?"

Li Yuyi pointed at the girl and said, "Her name is Li Mengyu, she is my eldest brother's daughter. We give her to you. From now on, she will be your slave and you can command her at will."

"Li Yujian's daughter, serving as my slave? As expected of a noble family, it really broadens my horizons for a commoner like me." Xu Shen sneered, "It's a pity that I, Xu Shen, have hands and feet, so I don't need others to serve me."

Li Yuyi sighed and said, "It seems that you are still dissatisfied with our Li family. Xu Shen, tell me, how can we compensate you to satisfy you?"

Xu Shen waved his hand disinterestedly.

This family is incredibly weak.

Just because he is a high-level wizard, he has made him so servile. Even the head of the family has offered his daughter to him, but he really has no shame at all.

"You have been kneeling for too long and can't stand up, but I can't kneel any longer. People with different beliefs cannot work together. So let it be. If Li Yujian can come back alive, let him wash his neck and wait."

"Don't insult my family!"

At this moment, the girl named Li Mengyu suddenly became as angry as a lioness: "With the power of our Li family, it would be easy to kill you and completely eliminate future troubles. My father thought you were a talent, and for the sake of Shenzhou, he let you live."

"Mengyu!" Li Yuyi shouted, "What did you promise us when you came here?"

The girl glared at Xu Shen fiercely, snorted coldly, turned her head away and said nothing more.

Dean Fu sighed and shook his head imperceptibly.

As an old and shrewd man, how could he not see through the Li family's calculations?

However, in order to tie Xu Shen to their Li family, these people dragged out all the legitimate daughters of the clan. This was a big deal, and it was a win-win situation for both sides, so no one stopped them.

What a pity, this girl is a little tactless.

Do you really think that Xu Shen can't move his legs when he sees a beautiful woman?
Xu Shen stroked his chin and said sarcastically, "According to this, I am still alive thanks to you, the Li family, for not killing me?"

Li Yuyi smiled bitterly and said, "Xu Shen, don't get me wrong. These are just some brainless youngsters in the clan talking nonsense. The clan has never thought of being your enemy, otherwise they wouldn't have sent the Dream Fish here."

"I can't afford this young lady, please go back. I will take over any tricks you have in the Li family in the future. If I die, you can only blame me for not being as skilled as you. It's better than you Li family just talking and I will inexplicably have another 'lifesaver'."

Li Yuyi's face changed and he slapped Li Mengyu twice. In an instant, the fair and beautiful face became swollen.

"Li Mengyu, even if you die here today, you must be forgiven by Xu Shen. Otherwise, the Li family will no longer recognize you!"

Li Mengyu touched her red, swollen and burning face, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

Li Yuyi got anxious when she didn't say anything, and was about to slap her again. Xu Shen grabbed his wrist and said impatiently, "If you want to act, please find another place. Don't let her cry in my house. It's annoying just to watch her."

Li Yuyi let go, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he glared at Li Mengyu again.

Li Mengyu wiped away her tears, looked at her cold uncle, then looked at Xu Shen and Dean Fu who were watching coldly, took out a dagger, and slowly cut her neck.

Seeing the bright red blood oozing out, Xu Shen kicked her away.

"If you want to die, get away from me. Don't die in my house. It's bad luck!"

Feeling that his kick was not thorough enough, Xu Shen simply picked her up by the collar and threw her out the door.

"Kuang!"

The door was closed, the joy in Li Yuyi's eyes disappeared, and his stiff face made it hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Xu Shen's cold eyes startled Li Yuyi.

It seemed that the young man saw through all his little thoughts.
