Bang! Bang!

Shen Zui punched the wooden stake one by one. After a morning of practice, he was sweating profusely. Such practice also gave him a new understanding of the Yuan skills he practiced.

Sure enough, every time he practiced hard, he would have different insights, which was the most important thing.

Looking up at the sky, it was noon, and it was time to rest.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and a voice came in: "Master Shen, the head of the family asked you to go to the reception room to discuss something important."

Hearing this, Shen Zui was stunned. After ten years, grandpa was finally willing to take the initiative to meet him?

It seems that the benefits brought by the ancestral bloodline are not only convenient for practice.

"I know, I'll go there after packing up." After he responded, he went into the house to change his clothes and walked out of the yard.

Along the way, Shen Zui was secretly thinking about how grandpa would talk to him. In the past ten years, the communication between the two did not exceed ten sentences. This kind of unfamiliarity was a bit morbid.

Entering the reception room, there were only two people in the hall, Grandpa Shen Xiaoming and an old man he had never seen before.

The deserted scene was completely inconsistent with the picture he had imagined of important people in the clan gathered together. This suddenly gave him an ominous premonition.

"Grandpa." The inner uneasiness did not show on his face, and he respectfully performed the proper etiquette to Shen Xiaoming.

"Yeah." Shen Xiaoming replied lightly.

The cold response made Shen Zui's premonition stronger.

Could it be that the ancestral bloodline could not make Grandpa change his opinion of him?

Or is there any other reason?

Thinking of this, his attention turned to the strange old man next to him.

This person may be able to give his own answer.

"Hello, senior." He took the initiative to greet him. To verify his guess, he needs to be more proactive.

"Hehe," Old Sun did not expect Shen Zui to take the initiative to greet him. For a moment, he actually had a feeling that this child was very good. However, he saw through the other party's strength at a glance, and then he thought, so what if he is very good, the son of a traitor, a waste, has no value at all. So he just smiled symbolically as a response.

"Xiaozui, this is Sun Lao, the Golden Dragon Guard of the Imperial Capital." Shen Xiaoming introduced. Shen Zui greeted him first without his introduction, which made him look ignorant of etiquette. He glanced at Shen Zui, his eyes became colder, and the decision he had already made in his heart became more firm.

So, without waiting for Shen Zui to react, he spoke again: "I called you here today because there is something that needs your cooperation."

He said "cooperation", not "discuss" as the housekeeper said when he called Shen Zui before.

Grandpa's cold voice made Shen Zui more certain that what happened next would be very unfavorable to him. But, what kind of thing would make the Golden Dragon Guard come here?

He also knew something about the Golden Dragon Guard.

"Please tell me clearly, Grandpa." He didn't want to beat around the bush. No matter what the matter was, just come straight to it. It would be annoying to go around in circles.

Old Sun tapped the table with his fingers. He had been paying attention to Shen Zui's reaction. It must be said that this kid's character was really good. Facing the pressure from his grandfather, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He was not like a sixteen-year-old boy at all.

If such a character grows up, it would be fine if he could control it. If he couldn't control it, it would become a problem.

Fortunately, this kid was destined not to grow up.

After Shen Xiaoming glanced at Old Sun, he turned to Shen Zui with a sharp eagle-like look: "Your cousin Shen Jie has been selected by the king and will become a member of the Golden Dragon Guard."

Hearing this, Shen Zui's eyes lit up. This was a good thing.

He knew very well what kind of existence the Golden Dragon Guard was in the Tianlong Empire. It was a blessing for the Shen family to climb this high branch.

However, what did this matter have to do with him?

He glanced at Old Sun and guessed that there should not be many people in the family who knew about this matter. It was even very likely that his grandfather had just found out. But why would he be the second person to know?

It was a bit hard to figure out, so I could only go on: "This is a good thing." The flat voice made Shen Xiaoming and Sun Lao feel a little unhappy. Knowing such a thing, ordinary people would not be so calm.

For some reason, Shen Zui's calm and composed performance made both of them feel a strange pressure. A child can be so calm in front of the Golden Dragon Guard, either he is a fool or he doesn't know whether to live or die. But Shen Zui's appearance is neither of these!

What kind of strong character does it take to do this?

Shen Xiaoming couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at that moment, he actually had an uneasy feeling that he would regret in the future.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he was actually frightened by the appearance of the junior, which was really ridiculous: "You should know the reputation of the Golden Dragon Guard in the Tianlong Empire. Shen Jie was chosen by the king to join it. This is a great thing for our Shen family. It is no exaggeration to say that the rise of our clan lies in this. But..." He said, looking at Shen Zui coldly, thinking about the next sentence: "It's just that there are countless geniuses in the Golden Dragon Guard, and the competition is very fierce. Shen Jie has good talent, but this is far from enough. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Golden Dragon Guard, he still needs something that can make him stronger to support him, or in other words, a foreseeable future."

"In this way, he will not be eliminated. The hope of the Shen family will not be cut off."

After listening to Shen Xiaoming's words, Shen Zui lowered his head and took a deep breath of the turbid air in the air.

Finally understood why he was the second person to know about this.

To be honest, these words are not wrong from the standpoint of the head of the family. Everything is for the interests and future of the family.

But, why should the interests of the family sacrifice themselves!

Ten years ago, for the sake of the family's interests, Shen Xiaoming forced his father to betray the family. Now, for the sake of the family, are you going to abandon me?

Haha, Shen Zui smiled bitterly in his heart, father, our fates are really exactly the same.

He raised his head, the light in his eyes was sad, but his voice was surprisingly calm: "Grandpa means that I should hand over the blood of my ancestors, right?"

"Yes." Shen Xiaoming noticed the sadness in Shen Zui's eyes, but he was not moved at all. He could sit in the position of the head of the family, so he was naturally not easily tied down by some sentimental things. He could do that to his son ten years ago, and now he can do the same to his grandson.

"Don't worry, after handing over the blood of your ancestors, the family will not abandon you, and will still let you live well in the family. The Shen family will support you for a lifetime, it's not difficult."

Haha, it's not difficult. But his life will be even more miserable than before! And it will be miserable for a lifetime! He will live a life worse than death!

Shen Zui suddenly smiled, looked at Shen Xiaoming, his face was ferocious and miserable, and said sternly: "For ten years, I have been in the Shen family with the name of a traitor and a waste for ten years! Do you know how my grandson has been? I work hard to practice, just want to prove myself one day, prove it to everyone! I, Shen Zui, will not accept my fate even if I am a waste! Unfortunately, you are all blinded! Okay, if you want the blood of the ancestors, then kill me!" After saying that, his momentum rose sharply. Although his Yuanli was only level five, the momentum of not accepting fate and not admitting defeat shocked Shen Xiaoming's eyelids. After ten years of cowardice and pent-up, he burst out all his reluctance, grief and anger at this moment! He wants to maintain his last dignity! On the side, Old Sun half-squinted his eyes and looked at the furious Shen Zui, his eyes were unclear. Then he turned to look at Shen Xiaoming, looking forward to what he would do next. Shen Xiaoming was so angry that he trembled. He felt that the conditions he gave were already very good. At least this kid can live in the clan.

But this kid didn't appreciate it at all. Such a rebuttal made him lose face in front of Elder Sun.

"Okay, very good." He nodded slightly, and was also extremely angry: "With your ant-like strength, you dare to be so arrogant in front of guests. It's really embarrassing for the family! The Shen family has raised you for ten years. Now it's time for you to repay. One last time, will you hand over the ancestral bloodline or not?"

"I hand over your uncle!" Shen Zui was so angry that he didn't care about seniority. He clenched his fists and stared at Shen Xiaoming with his eyes wide open.

"Okay, then I'll fulfill your wish!" After saying that, Shen Xiaoming stood up suddenly and took a step forward. On his right fist, it was like a real Yuan Qi condensed into a dazzling earth-yellow light.

A low-level Xuan-level Yuan skill, Earth-Splitting Fist!

As soon as he made a move, it was his famous skill, which showed that he was very angry! It was also a good opportunity to show the foundation of the Shen family in front of the Golden Dragon Guards. He wanted to let Elder Sun know that the Shen family also had a certain strength.

If Shen Zui knew that Shen Xiaoming was still thinking about these things at this moment, he would be even more angry.

But that didn't matter anymore. Everything today would linger in his heart forever.

Shen Zui didn't dare to neglect it. He gathered all the energy in his body into his fist. The light flickered, and compared with the opponent's fist that was like a substance, the gap was too big.

He also knew that he had no chance of winning against his grandfather who was already in the Yuanling realm. But this didn't mean that he had to let others slaughter him!

Even if he died, he had to fight!

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Shen Xiaoming sneered, and without hesitation, he punched out.

Earth-splitting fist!

Before the fist arrived, the powerful pressure had already made Shen Zui breathless.

But he didn't retreat at all. With a determined and ferocious face, he faced the challenge.

Stone-breaking fist!

Silently reciting in his heart, Shen Zui used the Yuan skills he had practiced hundreds of times and smashed them hard at the opponent. He knew that he only had one chance to punch. After this punch, no matter life or death, there would be no possibility of resistance. So, this punch, he tried his best.

Just when the two fists were about to touch, the fingertips of Sun Lao moved slightly, and a small stream of Yuan Qi shot out, just appearing at the intersection of the two fists.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, and Shen Xiaoming did not move a step.

But Shen Zui's body flew out directly and landed heavily seven or eight meters behind him.

Is this the power of Yuan Ling? Shen Zui's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Looking at the fainted Shen Zui, Shen Xiaoming turned to Sun Lao. If Sun Lao had not taken action just now, his punch would have directly killed Shen Zui.

So, he didn't understand why Sun Lao didn't let him kill Shen Zui. This didn't quite fit the decisive style of the Golden Dragon Guard.

"Old Sun, why don't you let me kill him? This kid has a rebellious heart."

"What's the fun in killing him directly? Sometimes, the look in other people's eyes that want you dead but can't do anything to you is also a kind of fun." Old Sun smiled at Shen Zui on the ground: "This kid is interesting, he has a good heart and a stubborn temper. The more such people are, the more enjoyable the sense of accomplishment of suppressing them is."

After listening to Old Sun's words, Shen Xiaoming felt a chill down his spine. The cold-blooded words made people feel cold in their hearts!
