Chapter 280 I left my son without a penny!
Si Yuan, Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye who were present all witnessed Qi Shen's flexibility. If the Qi family was still there, Qi Shen's begging for mercy might have been really useful. After all, the current head of the Qi family murdered the brother of the previous head of the Qi family to become the head of the family. If this news gets out, it will be a blow to the prestige of the Qi family. Moreover, those people in the Qi family who were once loyal to Qi Shen will also be dissatisfied with the current head of the Qi family, causing disunity within the Qi family. At that time, it will become much easier for other forces to bite off a piece of meat from the Qi family.
But the problem is - the Qi family is gone and has been swallowed up by the Sheng family.
So Qi Shen is of no use anymore.
Chen Ye also quickly realized this, so he looked at Qi Shen with some pity. Qi Shen did not dare to show up during this period of silence, and he did not know that Feisha Fairy City was no longer the Feisha Fairy City in his memory, nor did he know that the Qi family had long been swallowed up by the Sheng family, and that his enemy and brother had already died at the hands of Si Yuan.
However, Chen Ye had no intention of reminding Qi Shen. After all, since he had already made his choice, why would he defect again and help Qi Shen? What good can he get from helping Qi Shen?
Chen Ye's silence, Sheng Yunqi's surprised look, and Si Yuan's calm expression all made Qi Shen feel that something was wrong.
Qi Shen said tremblingly: "I am willing to serve you at my service!"
Even if his freedom was controlled, he didn't want to die. As long as he was alive, there was hope. There was a solution to any problem. As long as he lived...
However, Si Yuan had no intention of letting him live. The Qi family was destroyed in his hands. If he really wanted Qi Shen to survive, Qi Shen only needed to repair his Nascent Soul and find a suitable physical body to possess, then he could recover to the Nascent Soul stage.
What if he targets the children of the Sheng family for revenge? Even Si Yuan would find it troublesome to see a Nascent Soul cultivator secretly watching and assassinating the weaker members of the Sheng family.
As for saying things like it's shameless to bully the weak, what's the use? For Qi Shen, whose family has been destroyed, who has lost everything and only wants crazy revenge, what is the use of face? Of course, it is more important to take revenge on the enemy by any means necessary!
Therefore, some unspoken rules are only useful when everyone cares about their face. They are useless after the relationship has been torn apart and the table has been turned over.
Si Yuan would not gamble with Qi Shen's character and face. He would only nip any danger in the bud.
In the original plot, Qi Shen was actually a big villain. When Chen Ye reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and was about to break through to the Golden Core Stage, he attacked and took over his body, causing Chen Ye's failure to break through the Golden Core Stage.
However, Chen Ye is a man of great fortune after all. He has great luck and is very scheming and cunning. He has long been on guard against Qi Shen.
Therefore, Qi Shen failed in his attempt to take over Chen Ye's body, and his Nascent Soul was shattered by Chen Ye instead. The essence of his Nascent Soul turned into nourishment for Chen Ye's soul, so that after Chen Ye's failure to break through to the Golden Core stage, not only did his foundation not suffer, but it became even stronger.
After all, other Foundation Establishment cultivators do not have the opportunity to absorb the most original Nascent Soul essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator to strengthen their foundation.
After absorbing Qi Shen's Nascent Soul essence, Chen Ye successfully broke through the Golden Core Stage and became an extremely powerful existence among the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, he would not have been able to provoke a Nascent Soul Stage enemy with his Golden Core Stage strength and make the other party helpless and unable to do anything but kidnap Sheng Yunqi to force him to show up.
But now Chen Ye is no longer so lucky. Si Yuan slaps Qi Shen's Nascent Soul away with a single slap.
He had no intention of extracting Qi Shen's Nascent Soul essence to strengthen Sheng Yunqi's foundation. Although the Nascent Soul essence was extremely useful, it was still something with a personal mark. If Sheng Yunqi did not absorb it completely enough and Qi Shen's personal mark remained in his body, it would only hinder his future path of cultivation.
Sheng Yunqi is not like Chen Ye, the lucky male protagonist who can turn misfortune into fortune.
It would be better to move forward step by step steadily, at least there will be no mistakes. Not everyone can take shortcuts, and Si Yuan does not like this kind of practice that takes shortcuts.
In the Tiancang Realm, Si Yuan is the last disciple of the Immortal Realm's Tianzun. Can't he take shortcuts in his cultivation? If his master, the Immortal Master Wangtian, would pay a small price to send the natural treasures from the immortal world to the Tiancang Realm, it would be possible for Si Yuan to become an immortal instantly after taking them.
However, the immortals achieved by taking shortcuts in this way are the weakest, and their prospects for improvement are cut off, completely wasting Si Yuan's talent for cultivation.
Therefore, the Immortal Master Wangtian repeatedly reminded Si Yuan that one cannot take shortcuts on the path of cultivation, and that only by practicing steadily, step by step, can one regain great power.
Si Yuan listened to it and implemented it strictly. He never even relied on taking elixirs to practice. Every bit of his spiritual power was gained through his own hard training. This also resulted in Si Yuan's foundation being much more solid than that of other talented cultivators.
Si Yuan has tasted the sweetness of diligent practice, so he will naturally teach his children in the same way.
So he never thought about following the example of the male protagonist in the original plot and letting Sheng Yunqi absorb Qi Shen's Nascent Soul essence.
The moment Qi Shen's Nascent Soul remnant soul disappeared into thin air, Chen Ye felt as if the huge rock pressing on his heart also disappeared into thin air. He finally got rid of the Nascent Soul remnant soul that was always monitoring and coveting him in his body.
Although Qi Shen had indeed given him a lot of guidance on the path of cultivation before, with the guidance of such an old senior, Chen Ye did indeed avoid many detours and dangers.
But... it's too dangerous! Qi Shen himself is his biggest danger.
Chen Ye was so scared that he even dared not sleep, for fear that one day after he fell asleep, his body would no longer belong to him.
Possession...what a scary word.
Chen Ye lives in fear that he might be possessed by Qi Shen, so no matter how much help Qi Shen has given him, he will not remember it. He cannot ignore the terrible crisis that Qi Shen may want to possess his body just because of this little favor.
So now seeing Qi Shen’s soul shattered and completely disappearing, the hidden danger in his body is gone. Although he also lost the help of Qi Shen, the old senior, Chen Ye just felt relieved.
Sheng Yunqi still noticed the relief in Chen Ye's expression, but at this time, Sheng Yunqi had the deepest filter for Chen Ye, so he didn't think it was a big deal. He even felt a little pity for Chen Ye, who had been living in fear of being possessed by the remnant soul of his Nascent Soul at any time all these years.
Sheng Yunqi patted Chen Ye's shoulder and comforted him silently.
Si Yuan who saw this scene: "..."
Si Yuan was speechless. Is Sheng Yunqi's adopted son so easy to deceive? How long has it been since he praised Chen Ye in front of Sheng Yunqi? Has Sheng Yunqi forgotten the estrangement he has created towards Chen Ye?
Should we say that Sheng Yunqi is stupid, or should we say that Chen Ye has high emotional intelligence and is good at fooling people?
Forget it, as long as they don’t cheat money and only cheat Sheng Yunqi’s feelings, let them be and just take it as a lesson.
Si Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "The matter has been resolved, you can go out."
Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye hurriedly took their leave.
After leaving the patriarch's cave, Sheng Yunqi sent Chen Ye back to his guest house. Only then did Chen Ye bow to Sheng Yunqi very solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Sheng! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to get rid of this hidden danger in my lifetime, and I don't know when I would be possessed by another body. This is a great favor for saving my life, Brother Sheng, please accept my greetings!"
Sheng Yunqi quickly reached out to help him up, but Chen Ye insisted on bowing and refused to get up. It was Sheng Yunqi who relied on his stronger foundation-building skills and forcibly helped him up.
Sheng Yunqi was very touched by Chen Ye's gratitude, and Chen Ye really knew how to read the mind of someone like Sheng Yunqi.
He knew that a young master of a wealthy family like Sheng Yunqi would always be surrounded by people willing to serve him, and he even felt that saving his life was a matter of course - after all, he was the young master of the Sheng family, so wasn't it their duty to protect his life?
Therefore, Chen Ye feels that for a young master of a noble family like Sheng Yunqi, his savior will not be taken seriously, because when they are in danger, the guards around them will risk their lives to save them. Do they regard these guards as their saviors?
Of course, there is a difference between guarding and rescuing the Lord and having outsiders save their lives. But for these young masters of aristocratic families, is the difference really that big? From the perspective of those in a higher position, they might even think that it is your great luck that you can save me once!
