Chapter 282 Who is the Fool?
Chapter 282 Who is the Fool?
Seeing his young master so happy, the servant at the side immediately came forward with a flattering look on his face, bent over, with a fawning smile on his face, and said: "It's all thanks to the young master's planning that he can play that fool in the palm of his hand. It wouldn't work if it were someone else." The servant's eyes were full of admiration and respect for Liu Xuan, as if Liu Xuan was the smartest and most powerful person in the world.
After hearing what the attendant said, Liu Xuan was extremely proud. He walked to the chair with a swagger, sat down, crossed his legs, and casually placed his hands on the armrests. He said, "Humph, Shen Yun usually thinks he is so great, but he is still fooled by me. This time he suffered such a big loss, let's see if he dares to be arrogant in front of me in the future."
The attendant nodded and agreed, "Young Master is wise. Shen Yun must be suffering this time. He will definitely take a detour when he sees you next time."
Liu Xuan sneered and said, "Hmph, this time I'm just teaching him a small lesson. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to let him know the consequences of going against me." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing again, as if he had already begun to imagine how he would continue to punish Shen Yun in the future.
"Young master is wise." The servant's flattering words broke Liu Xuan's thoughts which were immersed in the joy of victory.
Liu Xuan then noticed the attendant who had been accompanying him. He tilted his head slightly and looked up and down at the man who had been running errands beside him, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"You're very good. What's your name?" Liu Xuan asked casually, crossing his arms across his chest.
When the attendant heard this, his face instantly blossomed with ecstasy, and his eyes were wide open with excitement. The young master asked his name. To him, wasn't this a sign that he would be reused soon? He quickly knelt on his knees, his body trembling slightly with excitement, and replied respectfully: "Master, my name is Ergou."
Liu Xuan frowned and curled his lips in disgust: "Ergou? What a messed up name. Forget it, I am in a very happy mood today. From now on, you can be called Liu Xi." After saying that, he waved his hand casually.
The attendant, no, now it was Liu Xi, could not suppress the joy on his face when he heard that the young master had given him a name. He kowtowed several times, the sound of his head hitting the ground echoing in the box. He said excitedly, "Thank you, young master, thank you for the name." There was a slight redness and swelling where his forehead hit the ground.
"Get up, and work beside me from now on." Liu Xuan said lightly as he looked at Liu Xi who was kneeling on the ground.
Liu Xi hurriedly got up from the ground, and staggered a bit due to his eagerness to get up, but he quickly steadied himself and responded with a smile on his face: "Yes, young master, I will do my best to serve you!" His eyes were full of determination and loyalty, as if he had received a great gift from heaven.
In the other box, after paying the spirit stones, Shen Yun got the so-called "Lotus Sword Technique" as he wished. His hands gently stroked the cover of the technique, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable excitement.
Shen Yun couldn't wait to open the book and read it. As he turned the pages, his eyes became more focused and his breathing became more rapid. Lines of exquisite text and complex diagrams came into his eyes. The more he read, the more surprised he was.
His heartbeat kept accelerating, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead due to excitement. Although he had not yet started to practice and verify the skills, he had a strong intuition that this was the follow-up skills of the "Blue Lotus Sword Technique" that he had been searching for.
"Hahaha, it's really a case of searching for something in vain, but it's finally found without any effort." Shen Yun could no longer suppress his inner joy and laughed out loud. His laughter echoed in the box, and he held the technique tightly in his arms, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Lin Ruyi, who was standing aside, looked at Shen Yun's ecstatic expression and couldn't help but smile happily: "Congratulations, Brother Yun, with this "Lotus Sword Art", the entire Shen family will surely usher in rapid development." Lin Ruyi's face was filled with a sincere smile, and her eyes were shining with joy for Shen Yun.
After hearing Lin Ruyi's congratulations, Shen Yun calmed down his excitement a little, and said with longing and confidence in his eyes: "Yes, the direct descendants of my Shen family basically practice the "Green Lotus Sword Art". For thousands of years, many talented ancestors have devoted their efforts to the practice of swordsmanship, but due to the lack of follow-up techniques, no matter how talented they are or how hard they work, they can only stop at the peak of the ninth level of the foundation-building realm, leaving endless regrets. Now that we have this follow-up technique, it is like a long drought meeting a sweet rain. My Shen family is not far from producing several Jindan realm masters."
Shen Yun's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of expectation and hope. He seemed to have seen the scene of the Shen family's children relying on the complete skills, their strength rising steadily, and the family becoming increasingly powerful.
"Once my Shen family has someone who has reached the Golden Core realm, our status in this world will be greatly enhanced, and the family's resources and influence will also achieve a qualitative leap. Only then will we have more hope of survival in the thousand-year tide of monsters." Shen Yun tightly grasped the "Lotus Sword Art" in his hand, looking into the distance with a firm gaze.
Lin Ruyi nodded, her eyes revealing her expectations for the future: "Brother Yun, I believe that under your leadership, the Shen family will surely be able to achieve glory with this technique."
Only then can I be so lucky. " His voice was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Lin Ruyi's heart.
After hearing what Shen Yun said, Lin Ruyi's fair cheeks instantly turned red. She said coquettishly, "Hateful, slick." She lowered her head slightly, but her eyes were shining with sweetness. Her shy look was like a flower in bud, delicate and charming.
Seeing this, Shen Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, squinted his eyes, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Whether the tongue is slippery or not, why don't you try it and know?" There was a hint of ambiguity in his words, and his eyes were full of cunning and affection.
"Ahem." At this moment, Lin Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and made a sound. He crossed his arms and looked at the two young men in front of him helplessly. If he didn't say anything, he didn't know what kind of indecent things these two little guys would continue to talk about. He cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "You two, please pay attention to the occasion and don't be so unruly all day long."
When Shen Yun heard Lin Zhen's voice, he immediately stopped smiling, scratched his head and said, "Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment." Lin Ruyi also blushed and hid behind Lin Zhen, muttering, "It's all your fault. You made my father laugh."
Lin Zhen looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly, but his eyes revealed a hint of doting. He gently patted Lin Ruyi's head and said, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, but seeing that you two have such a good relationship, I feel relieved."
