Chapter 65 The Level is a Bit Too High
Looking at Shan Rou's confident and resolute expression, Shan Xi suddenly wondered if Shan Yu Rou was really Shan Rou's daughter. Her appearance and personality were exactly the same as Shan Rou's!
"Then do you dare to make a bet with me? If Shan Yuru wins, she stays and I leave; if Shan Yuru loses, you and she leave together." Shanxi pointed to the front door.
Upon hearing this, Shanrou was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected Shanxi to propose such a bet.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou's eyes instantly lit up with excitement, as if she had seen the dawn of victory: "Mother, don't worry, I won't lose."
She secretly rejoiced; how could she possibly lose?
If even she can't win, then who in the Jun Dynasty can be a match for the Southern Dynasty?
After all, the Southern Dynasty clearly stated that the contestants must be under 20 years old, and she was the strongest woman under 20!
“Alright, since that’s the case, then it’s settled!” Shanrou stared intently at Shanxi with a determined look in her eyes, and said, word by word, “If Yurou loses, Yurou and I will leave the Shan family together; but if Yurou wins, I will not only make you leave the Shan family, but I will also make you hand over the position of family head to Yurou!”
Upon hearing this, the old man, Mr. Shan, immediately changed his expression and panicked.
"Nonsense! Shanxi is able to become the head of the family because of her..." Old Master Shan was about to speak up to defend Shanxi when he saw Shan Rou glare at him fiercely, her eyes filled with hatred, as if she were not looking at her own father, but at an irreconcilable enemy. "If it weren't for you, how could a good-for-nothing like Shanxi become the head of the family?"
Shan Rou has already decided that if Old Master Shan wants, even a good-for-nothing like Shan Xi can become the head of the family, let alone Shan Yu Rou.
Even if Yu Rou is not the true daughter of the Shan family, if the old master is willing, Yu Rou can still sit in the position of head of the family.
"Rou'er, you..." Old Master Shan was so angry that he trembled all over and almost fainted.
Shan Yurou is not his biological granddaughter. He doesn't care where she goes or what she does. But how can an outsider become the head of the Shan family?
Rou'er's high regard for this concubine is far too strange!
How can someone dislike their own daughter but favor their illegitimate daughter!
Old Master Shan was worried about Shan Rou, but Shan Rou thought he was worried that Shan Xi would lose, and her eyes were filled with even more hatred as she looked at him: "Don't call me, anyway, all you care about now is your own granddaughter!"
Shanrou was filled with confusion and grievance. She was clearly the old master's only daughter, so why did the old master prefer Shanxi?
He didn't even consult me about such an important matter as handing over the position of head of the family to Shanxi!
Shanrou grew angrier the more she thought about it. In the end, she glared at Old Master Shan in disappointment, then turned and ran away with red eyes.
Seeing this, Shan Yurou quickly bowed to Grandpa Shan and said, "Grandpa, please calm down. My mother didn't mean it."
As she spoke, Shan Yurou hurriedly went after Shan Rou.
When Shanming saw that Shanyu had left, he wanted to go with her, but he was afraid that the old man would be angry, so he stayed behind and explained tremblingly, "Father, Rou'er has just returned. If there is anything, let's sit down and talk it over as a family. Why make it like this?"
Shan Mingyuan looked like he had messed things up, his face full of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shan was furious: "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, you shameless woman, stirring things up behind my back, would Rou'er have turned out like this?"
"My Rou'er has been well-educated and gentle since she was a child. But since she married you, she has become a jealous and petty woman, without any of the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family!" Old Master Shan became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at Shan Mingyuan's nose and cursing.
Shan Mingyuan: "..."
Shan Mingyuan's face was extremely ugly, but he just lowered his head and didn't say a word, letting the old man scold him.
No matter how harsh the old man's words were, he always managed to remain silent and endure them quietly.
He knew in his heart that the harsher the words Old Master Shan said, the more Shan Rou would feel sorry for him in the future...
Over time, the feud between Shanrou and Old Master Shan deepened.
On the contrary, in Shan Rou's eyes, Shan Mingyuan became a pitiful person who was willing to endure and suffer any grievances for his own sake.
"Your guy's level is pretty high." Lulu couldn't help but give Shanxi a thumbs up.
If Shan Mingyuan were a woman, she would probably be a concubine by now.
Seeing this, Shanxi smiled and said, "What's the use of a high rank? He's just a clown."
Only a pampered young lady like Shanrou, who grew up in a wealthy family and has no guile, could be fooled by him. Any other woman would not be so stupid.
To demonstrate her determination, Shan Rou moved directly from the main house of the Shan family to the small villa where Shan Mingyuan lived, saying repeatedly, "As long as I can be with Mingyuan, I'm willing to eat coarse food even if it's just chaff and wild vegetables!"
Old Master Shan was so angry that he almost fell ill, but fortunately the elders of the Alchemist Guild were there, and a single pill saved him from his illness.
"Here's a youth-preserving pill for you." Shanxi looked at the old man who looked decades older and couldn't help but give him a youth-preserving pill.
Grandpa Shan casually took it and swallowed it without thinking much about it.
However, after eating, Grandpa Shan found himself decades younger, as if he had returned to his youth overnight.
This effect is far better than that of Old Master Wu: "Is it because I look older than Old Master Wu?"
That shouldn't be the case; he's younger than Old Master Wu, how could this be...?
"What you ate wasn't a seventh-grade youth-preserving pill. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a tenth-grade perfect youth-preserving pill personally refined by the guild leader," Lulu said with envy.
The president also gave her one, but she couldn't bear to eat it and kept it.
Unexpectedly, the chairman dotes on his grandson so much that he actually gave one to Old Master Shan...
envious!
envy!
hatred!
"Grandma made this herself?" Old Master Shan's eyes widened as he carefully touched his young, smooth skin, momentarily unable to believe it.
No wonder it worked so well! He had thought it was because he was too old that it was so effective, but it turned out to be because of the elixir.
"Oh my... It's so good to have a child with great-grandmother." Old Master Shan shook his head excitedly. He didn't know if it was because of the elixir, but he felt that his mentality had become younger.
"Hehe, I'm going to find the fourth brother!" Old Master Shan's eyes lit up, and he hummed a little tune as he walked away with light steps.
Seeing how heartless he was, Lulu rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Although Old Master Shan was greatly angered by Shan Rou, his mentality will probably remain the same for another ten years.
