Chapter 1318: Chapter 1317: Shen Yunlong’s Fate
The Shen Family only has one boy, Shen Yunlong, and the family’s future relies on him. If he really dies, then the Shen Family will have no successors, which is something Shen Yaowen cannot accept.
"I’ve already kowtowed and apologized, I really don’t have any more options. He made it very clear that if I kept bothering him, he would strike against the Shen Family," said Shen Rushuang.
They never imagined that someone they once deemed a worthless person could push the Shen Family to this position.
The light in Shen Yaowen’s eyes dimmed instantly. Is there really no solution? Must he watch Shen Yunlong die with his own eyes?
If Shen Yunlong really dies, then the Shen Family’s lineage would be lost by his hands. Even after his death, how would he face the ancestors?
The next moment, Shen Yaowen suddenly knelt down, facing Wang Junyi.
"Wang Junyi, I beg you, spare Shen Yunlong. If you want to kill someone, I’m willing to trade my life for his," Shen Yaowen spoke despairingly.
At this moment, Shen Rushuang also knelt down, pleading, "Wang Junyi, please let my brother go. I can do anything, even be your concubine."
Looking at the pitiful Shen Rushuang, Wang Junyi suddenly recalled the times he was coldly rejected by her. He never expected that within a few short days, their statuses would undergo such drastic changes.
Unfortunately, for the current Wang Junyi, Shen Rushuang meant nothing anymore.
Not because he was heartless, but after witnessing Shen Rushuang’s clan’s power, he couldn’t like her the same way he used to.
"Do you still think I’m that naive boy? Let me tell you, you mean nothing to me now," Wang Junyi said indifferently.
"I know, but after liking me for so many years, don’t you want me at all?" Shen Rushuang asked, word for word, looking at him.
Looking at the woman on the ground, Wang Junyi had to admit, there was indeed no woman more beautiful than Shen Rushuang in Tianshui City. A beauty like her offering herself, it’s impossible for Wang Junyi to feel no temptation.
But Wang Junyi restrained himself. No matter what, Shen Rushuang was once his teacher’s wife. Even if they were only a nominal couple and have no relationship now, he dared not cross the line.
Moreover, things have reached this point, and Shen Yunlong indeed stands no chance of surviving.
"Shen Rushuang, trading Shen Yunlong for the whole Shen Family is already a fair deal. So stop pestering, it’s too late for regrets. Today, he must die!"
As he finished speaking, Wang Junyi lifted his steps and walked to Shen Yunlong.
At this moment, Shen Yunlong, never before had felt death so close. He once crossed mountains and rivers hoping to find a great master, to enter Xingluo, and to become the supreme person. Unexpectedly, he ended up here.
Now, Shen Yunlong finally understood that he was wrong from the very beginning. He shouldn’t have provoked Su Changfeng. He had pushed himself to this point, step by step. If he hadn’t dealt with Su Changfeng, this wouldn’t be his fate.
"From now on, there is no Shen Yunlong in Tianshui City!" As these words landed, Wang Junyi raised his hand and smashed it onto Shen Yunlong’s head.
"Yunlong! Yunlong!"
"No..."
Shen Yaowen and Shen Rushuang shouted in unison.
The once glorious Shen Family in Tianshui City, Shen Yunlong, as the family’s eldest son, had an extraordinary status. Ending up like this is self-inflicted, but still draws many sighs.
"Alas, money is of no use here. On the Tianyuan Continent, strength matters more than wealth."
"Isn’t that the truth? The Shen Family made a poor judgment of character, having had such a master within their home but drove him away, losing everything in the end."
"All these years, Shen Yunlong searched endlessly for great masters, with a single-minded goal to enter Xingluo, yet he met this fate. It’s destiny playing tricks."
"However, that Su Changfeng, indeed unexpected. So young yet such strength. If he could enhance Wang Junyi to fifth-rank in such a short time, he must already be at late stage third-rank himself!"
This last comment resonated strongly among the crowd. Indeed, Chang Feng’s abilities were beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone always considered Su Changfeng a nobody, never associating him with greatness.
But upon hearing Wang Junyi’s explanation, everyone understood. Su Changfeng simply had no interest in taking things up with the Shen Family.
As the crowd sighed, a little girl among them suddenly smiled as she looked at the brutally killed Shen Yunlong. She didn’t seem to pity him at all, perhaps feeling it was deserved.
"To challenge a strong one and die swiftly, he’s rather fortunate," the little girl murmured.
The crowd continued their chatter. The little girl just glanced and then skipped away, lively and adorable, seemingly an ignorant little girl.
At this moment in the courtyard.
Su Changfeng naturally understood that with Shen Yunlong in Wang Junyi’s hands, there was no favorable outcome. But for him, it was insignificant how Shen Yunlong ended up.
It was just Xingluo Emperor’s attitude that uneased Su Changfeng slightly.
No one can provoke Xingluo’s dignity. He killed Xingluo’s people, yet the Emperor did nothing to him. Instead, welcomed him, inviting him to Xingluo.
Su Changfeng didn’t believe his charm could enthrall an Emperor. Crucially, they had never met. The other party’s goodwill only meant one thing: his existence was beneficial, so the Emperor valued him.
However, what unique value did he possess? Su Changfeng was unsure.
"What are you thinking about?" Qiutang Yu’er asked as she noticed Su Changfeng in silence.
"I was thinking, Xingluo releasing me so smoothly is very strange. I wonder what’s behind it?" Su Changfeng replied.
"Oh, so you do feel fear?" Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but chuckle. freewёbnoνel.com
Fear? Him?
Not quite. He wouldn’t fear either that Emperor or Xingluo in its entirety. He was just a tad worried.
He could easily leave, Xingluo caused no real hindrance. But with Chen Qingqing still missing, he was stuck.
"Not fear, just that things are getting increasingly complicated." Su Changfeng said with a frown.
