Chapter 515: Touching the reverse scale
On this day, Pingdingshan welcomed a group of guests, led by a middle-aged man, followed by a group of guards and several maids.
Shi Yan asked someone to take them into the reception room inside Cang Ba's throne, and then he slowly walked towards the reception room.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Shi Yan saw several burly guards standing behind a middle-aged man with fair complexion and no beard, while the middle-aged man with fair complexion and no beard was sitting in the main seat at the main table drinking tea with a proud look on his face. Manzi, who had greeted them, was serving them carefully. Manzi did not know them and thought they were the general's distinguished guests, so he served them well. Manzi did not know them, but Shi Yan did. The one leading them was the former second housekeeper of the Shi family and the current housekeeper. I heard from my sister that the second grandfather has been in charge recently, and he has become the housekeeper. Shi Yan looked at them with interest. There had just been a conflict, and today such a group of people came. Shi Yan was a little curious about their purpose and wondered what they were up to.
At the same time, several maids were dressed in fancy and strange clothes. They did not look like ordinary servants but more like matchmakers.
When they saw Shi Yan coming, the maids surrounded him and started talking about something.
As for what to say, at most it was some meaningless words like "I haven't seen you for a long time" or "You've grown up". Shi Yan naturally believed that they came with bad intentions. They had just killed their deputy leader not long ago, so what good things could happen?
The middle-aged man with a fair face, who was the former second steward and is now the steward, did not even stand up. He still sat there calmly, without even looking at Shi Yan. He held the lid of the teacup with his hand and gently stirred the tea leaves.
When Shi Yan pushed aside the maids and came over, the middle-aged man glanced at him with his slender eyes, and then he sipped his tea leisurely, as if the tea was so delicious. After a long time, the middle-aged man slowly raised his head, drooping his eyelids, not looking at him directly, and said proudly: "It turns out that the Third Young Master is here, just in time, I have something to ask you, Third Young Master."
Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, sat down on the chair beside him, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "So it's the Second Steward. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Third Young Master, I haven't heard this name for more than ten years, so it's really strange. I'm a little uncomfortable hearing it today. Second Steward, why are you looking for me today?"
Hearing the title of the second butler, he raised his eyebrows and the hand holding the cup lid trembled. Since he became the full-time butler, who still calls him the second butler? Although the second butler is also a butler, his status is very different from that of a butler. The middle-aged man was very dissatisfied and snorted coldly, "Third Young Master, I am here on the order of the old master to inform you that you must return to the Shi family within two days. In addition to paying respects to the old masters and elders, you must also pay respects to the new son-in-law of my Shi family, that is, your sister's husband. He is a disciple of Tianya Xingge. As the younger brother of the second lady, you must go back to pay your respects. Third Young Master has been away from home for so many years, I believe he also wants to come back. My Shi family is currently ranking higher among the twelve major immortal gates and has a distinguished status. It is a very good choice for you to come back."
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Shi Yan was shocked and surprised. How come he had never heard of his sister getting married?
"The second young lady's wedding is coming soon. In these days, we will form an alliance with Tianya Xingge. By joining forces, we can improve our status in the Twelve Sects. The old master said that the previous things should be regarded as misunderstandings. If you want to come back, he will not stop you, but some things need to be seen clearly. The current market price is on the road of rapid development because of the old master's leadership. If you want to come back, you must submit to the old master's leadership and create glory for the Shi family."
Shi Yan already understood that they were afraid that if he went back, he would threaten their position in the family. At the same time, they also threatened him with his sister's matter.
Shi Yan sneered, thinking, is this family still the same as it was back then? He learned from his sister that the influence of the Shi family is declining now, is it as good as he said? When Shi Yan's grandfather was in charge, the status of the Shi family was second only to Taixuan Xianmen, but what qualifications does the Shi family have now to let him go back and let them lead? Shi Yan can say mercilessly that if he wants to establish a Shi family himself, he can completely suppress the current Shi family. Others don't know, but he knows it best. Let's not talk about the combat power and battle group that the three spirit beasts Canglan Dongqi and Qianzu can create in the Snow Region, just talk about the Great Dao creatures. You must know that Shi Yan is now the White Emperor of the Huangtian Realm, with an unparalleled status. If he opens the door of destiny and borrows their power, it is enough to put all forces under his feet.
I have such capital, what qualifications do they have to say such things? Not to mention threats!
Shi Xin is his only relative now. How dare they use her happiness as a bargaining chip? Shi Yan was furious, "You will pay the price for this!"
The middle-aged man with a white face and no beard sneered and snorted nonchalantly, "Third Young Master, everyone has to pay the price for their actions. If you want to return to the Shi family, you must abide by the rules of the Shi family. The family has its own rules and no one can escape. Strictly speaking, most people in your Li family think you are dead for so many years, so you are not a member of my Shi family. My Shi family is one of the twelve great immortal families, the most powerful in the world, and it is not so easy to enter the family. As for the second young lady, she has reached the age of marriage, and it is also It's time to get married. Li Youshan of Tianya Star Pavilion is not a person without status. If he really has no status, wouldn't it be a big joke for the second daughter of my Shi family to marry a person without status? I believe that the third young master has also heard of Li Youshan. He is the youngest son of the Pavilion Master of Tianya Star Pavilion. He has extraordinary talents since he was a child, but unfortunately he has some minor flaws. However, these minor flaws can be completely ignored. As the saying goes, how does it go? Yes, flaws do not conceal the merits, it is true that flaws do not conceal the merits. "After saying this, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.
Gifted? The flaws do not outweigh the merits? To be honest, Shi Yan knew who Li Youshan was, because he was very famous. He was famous not because of his reputation. He was considered a rare master of the younger generation, but he was still far behind the top masters like Liuyun. In Tianyahaige, his status was also quite high, but he had a nickname, Li Tieguai! Why did he have this nickname? Because he was a cripple!
Generally speaking, one can reshape his body after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but the mental method he practiced completely destroyed the nerves in his right foot, making them irreparable.
"My sister, a goddess of heaven, married a cripple?" Shi Yan sneered, his face twisted and ferocious. His sister Shi Xin was his Achilles' heel. Now, they had touched that Achilles' heel! Did they really think they were still the sick and weak Shi Yan? Did they still think they were so easy to bully?
Shi Yan stood up from his seat and walked towards the middle-aged man. Manzi also realized at this time that this sissy was here to cause trouble. He snorted angrily. It was really outrageous that he, a dignified general, was pouring tea for a sissy. Seeing Shi Yan coming coldly, he quickly pushed him aside and secretly blocked the way for the middle-aged man's guard. He naturally knew what General Haotian was going to do. After being together for so long and fighting so many battles, the two had already developed this tacit understanding.
The middle-aged man didn't even raise his eyes to look at Shi Yan, but just drank his tea by himself, looking very calm. He crossed his legs, looking very arrogant! He was sure that Shi Yan would not dare to touch him, because he was from the Shi family, sent by the old man, who would dare to do anything to him? This was also his usual thought. He had been to many places before and offended many people, but no one dared to do anything to him, for no other reason than that he was the butler of the Shi family!
Seeing Shi Yan coming, the tall guard of the Shi family standing behind the middle-aged man stepped forward, but their way was blocked by a man. They thought they were all tall and strong, but compared with the man in front of them, they had the illusion that they were small chickens. The reason was that this man was too tall. They muttered in their hearts, he didn't look that tall when he was pouring tea just now?
"You said you are the butler now? The second butler?" Shi Yan sneered, "You are the official now, so you are showing off now, right? You even dare to offend the young master and the young lady? Do you know what I want to do now?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "What? You dare not do anything." Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain on his face and swallowed the rest of his words. Shi Yan slapped the middle-aged man in the face, knocking him out and hitting the table, which also flew out. The middle-aged man flew in the air, his mouth opened into a gorgeous ** shape, and his fallen teeth, bloody saliva and other things splashed in the air.
"Ah!" The maids were panic-stricken. They ran to the corner, squatted trembling, and looked at Shi Yan in horror.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground with a bang. He slid more than ten meters and hit the wall. He bent like a shrimp and groaned in pain on the ground.
He looked at Shi Yan angrily and pointed at him. Before he could finish saying "you", Shi Yan picked up a chair and smashed it on him.
"I want to hit you hard with a chair right now. I want to see. I even killed the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Regiment. Am I afraid of you, a slave who relies on others for power?" Shi Yan snorted coldly, "I tell you, Shi Xiayong has no effect on me!"
The middle-aged man was scared. How could he know that the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Regiment had been killed? If he knew, he would never dare to be so arrogant!
Seeing Shi Yan approaching with a murderous look on his face, he immediately yelled,
"You dare to kill me? I was sent by the old man. He is now the head of the Shi family. If you want to go back to the Shi family, you must get his consent. Let me go, I can help you, help you return to the Shi family!" The middle-aged man had only a few teeth left in his mouth, only three or two broken teeth were scattered in his mouth, and his voice was unclear.
"Who told you that I'm going back to the Shi family?" Shi Yan sneered, "But after hearing what you said, I really want to go back."
The middle-aged man suddenly perked up, but the second half of Shi Yan's sentence made him look at a loss.
"I can go back if I want. Who can be my slave? Do I need to beg a slave like you? Humph, I will fight back. Fight back home!"
"Save me!" The middle-aged man looked at the guards in panic, but the guards had already been knocked to the ground by the barbarian. The barbarian clapped his hands and said nonchalantly, "You are useless. I didn't even use my strength." The guards under his feet groaned in pain. When they heard the barbarian's deterioration, they immediately spurted blood from their mouths. "You didn't use your strength? We have broken several bones and you still haven't used your strength? What kind of monster are you?"
"Save you? No, no, no, no one can save you. Even if Shi Xia Yong is by your side, he can't save you!" Shi Yan grinned and kicked the middle-aged man again and again.
Outside the reception room, several people were stunned. They had never seen Shi Yan with such a ferocious expression.
"This is the first time I see Brother Haotian with such an expression." Ning Xinyi said, covering her mouth.
"Ah," Yu Jiaolong sighed, "This has touched my reverse scale, but this is the first time I look like a man."
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. I won't cause trouble for you, but you'll cause trouble for me. It looks like I have to go home." Shi Yan stared at the terrified middle-aged man, then ordered the barbarian, "All battle groups get ready, we're going to fight again!"
"Alright!" The barbarian went down happily, shouting, "Finally there's a fight, my hands are itching!"
