Vol 3 Chapter 302: Serpent-like blade

Chapter 302 A Serpent-like Blade
As the old woman entered the house, through the entrance courtyard, she came to the living room for guests. Shen Shi glanced around and saw that the windows were very bright and clear, which made people feel very comfortable. It seems that in addition to the good house itself, the people who live here also love to be clean and tidy up the house very well.
Only after walking in for a while, apart from this old woman, Shen Shi didn't see anyone else, including even a maid. After sitting down in the living room, when the old lady came to serve tea in person, Shen Shi couldn't help asking:
"Why are you alone here, serving your servants?"
The kind-looking old lady laughed and waved her hand:
I’m an old lady, I can do everything by myself, and I don’t need anyone to serve me. Besides, when I was young, actually He is also the servant of a maid for a big family. Now, where do I need others to serve me?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said, "That's how it is."
The old lady smiled and said, "My son, you have tea. By the way, are you a friend of Zhonger?"
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I came to him for something, but he was not here."
The old lady sighed and said, "This child is busy, running around all day, and looking at me, I feel tired for him. But finally he has some friends like you, so please take care of me outside in the future. Him."
Shen Shi raised his eyes to look at her, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The old lady is serious. But... Please forgive me to say that you and I have never lived together, and you are the only one living in the house. It is so easy for me to enter the house. Actually It is also somewhat dangerous."
The old woman was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "The son is indeed reasonable, but I know Zhonger. Although he often runs outside, he is still very anxious for my old lady and will not reveal this easily. The house, only his best friends know about this place. Since the son knows that he is here to find him, he must be a good friend of Zhonger. Of course I have to treat him well."
Shen Shi frowned slightly, sighed inexplicably in his heart, and then suddenly became somewhat wary of the Fairy Society.
The old woman asked Shen Shi to drink tea again. Shen Shiqian gave in, and then just listened to the old woman smiling and asking: "By the way, I don't know your surname, son, what else is there to find Zhonger? I’m not at home these few days, and I’m not sure when I will come back. How about you leave a message and I will pass it to Zhong'er?"
Shen Shi slowly shook his head, and after a while he suddenly breathed out, thinking that he still couldn't do too vicious things, especially facing such a kind old man. Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Forget it, let's talk to Chen Zhong personally when I look back on this matter. Today..."
Before the words fell, suddenly two people in this hall turned their heads and looked out at the same time, because at this moment, from the door of the house in that direction, there were a few "popping" knocks. .
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) Old woman Chen showed a hint of joy, she immediately stood up, smiled and said to Shen Shi: "It should be Zhonger who is back. You must sit down first, and I will take it. He comes in."
After speaking, he walked out of the living room and walked to the door. Shen Shi silently stared at the back of the old woman. He didn't say anything, but after taking a deep breath, his eyes slowly became cold. Down.

Blackwood City Shenxianhui branch, back hall.
The old shopkeeper who sent Shen Shi away before is sitting alone in a study room. Most of the time, this room belongs to him alone. He also likes to soak a pot of incense in this place. Ming, and then quietly thinking.
At this moment, he is like this. Sitting behind the desk, taking a sip from the fragrant tea cup in his hand, his eyes fell on the desk table top. There is a wooden box with a soft satin cloth cushion inside. There was a bead of excellent quality, which was the toad demon pill that Shen Shi had taken out before.
The old shopkeeper's gaze had been rolling on this demon pill, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he had been thinking, after a while, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study, breaking the calm in the study .
The old shopkeeper was a little unhappy. Few people would come to disturb him at this time on weekdays, but most of those who could come were his confidant or something urgent. So he suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said lightly, saying:
"Come in."
The door was pushed open with a creak, but the young man who had seen Shen Shi walked in. The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "Yuan Niu, what's the matter?"
The young man named Yuan Niu looked a little worried on his face, but he was still a little anxious, especially when he saw the demon pill placed on the table in front of the shopkeeper, his expression on his face suddenly became more determined. , Strode all the way, arched his hands:
"Treasurer Song, do we really ignore that person?"
Shopkeeper Song frowned, glanced at him, and said, "What do you mean?"
Yuan Niu hesitated for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "Treasurer Song, we know everything about Chen Zhong. It's just a person who did some dirty work for some big people in exchange for spiritual crystal cultivation. This person may die, but His old mother didn’t know anything about it. She was kind to the poor and often helped the poor. She was also a good name in the city. Such a good person, we can’t..."
"Can't what?" Shopkeeper Song suddenly raised his voice slightly, staring at Yuan Niu and asked in a deep voice.
When Yuan Niu was drunk by him, the courage he had plucked up seemed to be suddenly poured into a basin of cold water, and he couldn't speak. Shopkeeper Song glanced at him faintly, reached out and picked up the demon pill in front of him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "I remember that you are also a local from Blackwood City. Could it be something to do with the old lady Chen? ?"
Yuan Niu gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his chest, and said, "Yes, when I was a little boy, I was poor at home, and I was kindly gifted by Mrs. Chen."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Shopkeeper Song looked at the young man steadily. Yuan Niu seemed a little nervous and a little scared, but still blushed and stood still with his teeth gritted. Gradually, Shopkeeper Song's expression eased, and then he sighed, and said, "The Lord Shen doesn't seem to be a vicious murderer. People didn't necessarily trouble Mrs. Chen in the past."
The muscles on Yuan Niu's face twisted, and he couldn't help but said: "But he bought this news with a Tier 4 Demon Pill..."
He didn't go on with the following words, but the meaning in the words, whether it was himself or Shopkeeper Song, was as clear as a mirror in his heart. The value of a Tier 4 Demon Pill far exceeds the life of an ordinary old woman in the eyes of a cultivator, and since that Young Master Shen has paid this price, then to him, Mrs. Chen may not be at all. May become an obstacle to stop him.
If there are obstacles, then it is a matter of ease, at least for the vast majority of monks in the world, this principle is universally recognized.
Shopkeeper Song was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, and said, "Don't interfere in this matter."
Yuan Niu yelled anxiously and said, "Treasurer Song, you..."
Shopkeeper Song suddenly stretched out his hand, blocking Yuan Niu’s follow-up plea, saying: "The nameplate in the hands of Lord Shen represents the identity of a distinguished guest recognized by the big shopkeeper who is in charge of at least one state in this association, and he does everything. In accordance with the rules of the Fairy Society, no matter what, we must not interfere."
As he said, he stretched out his hand to cover the wooden box on the table, handed it to Yuan Niu, and said, "You will go to the branch in Liuyun City, Haizhou...Well, including the main hall, also report it. Let’s see what’s happening on those two ends. As for the Chen family, just leave it alone."
A hint of anger and anxiety flashed across Yuan Niu's young face, but after a while, after all, he lowered his head and whispered: "Yes."
※※※
Chen's House.
Shen Shi stood at the door of the living room, watching the old woman walk to the door, smiling and reaching out to open the door. It should be his son Chen Zhong who stood outside the door.
He took a deep breath, flashed Xu Xueying's beautiful figure in his mind, and stopped thinking about it, stepping out of the threshold of the living room. But at this moment, suddenly his eyes condensed, and his body shook violently, as if he had seen something weird and unthinkable.
At the other end of the courtyard, the smiling, kind old woman was standing at the open door, looking up to say something, suddenly, the expression on her face seemed to stiffen in an instant.
An ice-cold sword blade, with some blood stains, penetrated her abdomen and pierced her back directly.
At that moment, the whole house seemed to fall into an extremely cold and dead silence, and then in a blink of an eye, the blade was like a poisonous snake. After shaking it gently, it "swish" With a sound, he passed through the old body and retracted it.
(Again... I forgot to click the release button... I know I'm so stupid, you can just scold it if you want!)
