Wu Yu Jiutian

Chapter 17: Showing Weakness

Sensing this powerful aura, Shen Li also frowned, his heart trembled, this Jiang Tianluan must at least have a cultivation base of more than eighth rank, it seems that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he has such strength, he deserves it For the children of the big family.

On the other hand, Yang Ling watched coldly from the sidelines. He wished that Shen Li would make a move, and then use Jiang Tianluan's hand to kill Shen Li, which would be regarded as revenge for Qi Heng.

"Slow down!"

At this moment, a long drink suddenly sounded, followed by a rush of horseshoes.

In a short time, the horses and horses arrived. The man on horseback was dressed in a blue robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was not very old, but his temperament was calm. He could tell at a glance that he was a very smart man. The chief steward of Shen Ze's branch is also Shen Ze's assistant in the chamber of commerce.

"Steward Lin, why are you here?" Shen Li asked strangely, this person's surname was Lin, and he was Lin Wan'er's biological father.

"Master heard about this and asked me to come here in a hurry, afraid that something might happen to you..." Butler Lin walked up to Yang Ling and Jiang Tianluan after whispering, cupped his hands and said, "Both of you , I am the person in charge of the Shen family chamber of commerce, the master has ordered me to let this matter go, and this iron ore will be given to the young master as a congratulatory gift to the Jiang family, how about it?"

"Steward Lin, you..." Shen Li couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, he didn't want the Shen family to give in and stepped forward to pull Butler Lin down.

"Master, don't talk too much, this matter is not trivial, we will talk about it on the way back..." Lin Butler hurriedly stopped Shen Li, and whispered.

"The adults of the Shen family still have some sharp eyesight...Okay, let's go." Jiang Tianluan smiled slightly and waved his hands.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Steward Lin let out a sigh of relief, and pulled Shen Li and the others back quickly.

"Humph!"

Shen Li was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, he could only groan heavily, cast a fierce look at Yang Ling and Jiang Tianluan, then got on his horse and left.

"Oh, Shen Li, don't be like this..." Seeing that Shen Li was unhappy all the way, Shen Mengran couldn't help persuading her.

"Steward Lin, I really don't understand, that Jiang is so arrogant, why should we give in? Isn't this ridiculous?" Shen Li asked Lin Butler.

"Hey, young master, you are also a smart person, don't you understand?" Steward Lin shook his head and sighed, "Jiang Tianluan took the opportunity to trouble my Shen family when he came here, and Yang Ling was also there, so it's clear It was Yang Ling who instigated Jiang Tianluan to do this, mainly to target you and want you to be furious."

"So what?" Shen Li also thought of this just now, but he just couldn't be more angry than this useless mouth.

"This Jiang Tianluan has an eighth-level cultivation base, and he has been in this realm for half a year. In addition, the power behind him is extremely powerful. Let alone you, I am afraid that even the young master is not his opponent. If there is a real fight, you will definitely suffer a lot. What's more, the Jiang family is powerful, and my Shen family cannot provoke it. It is not worthwhile to fight with his Jiang family for this iron mine. It is better to suffer a bit. But forget about this matter. This is the case with business matters, you can’t just look at the present, you still have to suffer the losses you should suffer, and you must take the overall situation into consideration.”

"Hey..." Shen Li sighed, of course he knew these things, but he just didn't want to show weakness in front of others.

This world is like this, where the weak prey on the strong and the strength is respected. It seems that the Shen family is one of the top three families in Jiangyuan City, but compared to nobles like the Jiang family, it is not worth mentioning at all. If they want to bully you, you can only endure it. Take it, there is no other way.

Seeing Shen Li's appearance, Lin Steward and Shen Mengran also shook their heads and sighed, so why didn't they feel ashamed?But so what, I have no strength, I can only endure it.

After returning home, Shen Li went back to his room, lying on the bed alone, thinking about what happened today, still feeling a little tight in his chest.

"I still have to work hard, I still have a long way to go... This world respects strength. Without strength, you can only let others bully you like today. If you don't have strong strength, how can you protect your relatives and friends? ?”

Just as Shen Li was thinking, the door suddenly creaked, Shen Li sat up and looked, and saw a little girl walking in, it was Lin Wan'er.

"Master..." Lin Wan'er smiled sweetly after seeing Shen Li.

"Wan'er, why are you here?" Shen Li stood up and asked.

"I heard that you haven't eaten all day, so I went to the kitchen to get your favorite osmanthus cake, here it is!" Lin Wan'er put down a tray in her hand, and placed pieces of light yellow osmanthus cake on it. , making people move their index fingers.

"Wan'er is still the most caring..." Shen Li smiled, pinched Lin Wan'er's nose lovingly, and said softly.

"Hmph..." Lin Wan'er hummed and turned her head, but her expression was joyful, and she sat down with her chin propped up.

Speaking of which, Shen Li was really hungry, so he picked up the snack and ate it, he ate a few pieces in a row, it was really fragrant and delicious.

"Master... Do you think you will be tired from practicing martial arts all day?" Lin Wan'er asked suddenly.

"Of course..." Shen Li said casually, then turned his gaze to Wan'er: "Why did you remember to ask this?"

"Daddy asked me to practice martial arts again today... oh, it's really annoying." Lin Wan'er said angrily.

"Go and practice. When you have martial arts, you will be able to protect yourself. You don't have to be afraid of those bad guys."

"I don't want...Young master, you will protect me, what am I doing practicing martial arts?" Lin Wan'er shook her head like a rattle, and pouted.

"Can I still protect you for the rest of my life?" Shen Li laughed dumbfounded. "Then what will you do when you grow up?"

"I will follow the young master when I grow up, so I won't be afraid of bad guys..." Lin Wan'er smiled sweetly.

"Silly girl..." Shen Li couldn't help but rubbed Lin Wan'er's cute little head.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

At this moment, a violent cough sound came suddenly, Shen Li frowned, and asked, "Why does this cough sound so familiar?"

"It's the young master..." Lin Wan'er said suddenly.

"Brother?" Shen Li was taken aback, Shen Tianxing has always been in excellent health, plus he is extremely strong, how could he cough so badly?

"I don't know either." Lin Wan'er scratched her head: "I heard from my father that he seems to have practiced martial arts. He was brought back this afternoon by someone else. His face was as white as paper. He was still coughing up blood at first, which scared me to death. , Just boiling the medicine kept everyone busy for quite a while."

"How could this be?" Shen Li stood up abruptly, his eyes flickering: "I'll go see Big Brother, you go out first."

Shen Li strode out, Shen Tianxing was his own elder brother, and he had always taken care of him, so Shen Li was naturally shocked by what happened to him.
