Chapter 286 I left my son without a penny!
The unlucky Nascent Soul that was pulled out of the soul stone that nurtured its soul by Si Yuan while it was sleeping finally woke up. He struggled frantically, but found that he could not break free from Si Yuan's palm. Si Yuan was a stronger man than he was in his prime, so he decisively wanted to bow his head and beg for mercy, just like Qi Shen did at the beginning.
However, Si Yuan was not interested in the origin of this Nascent Soul, nor did he want to know what kind of opportunities he held.
Although Si Yuan knew that the opportunity that the world's destiny had prepared for the lucky male protagonist must be extraordinary, this opportunity was prepared for the male protagonist Chen Ye. If the Sheng family wanted to intercept it, they would inevitably pay a huge price and the loss would outweigh the gain.
It would be better not to covet the opportunity that belongs to the male protagonist. Anyway, with Si Yuan's support, the Sheng family will become stronger sooner or later.
Moreover, the Sheng family's current resources are more than enough to sustain themselves. Further expansion and more opportunities will instead attract the covetousness of other powerful forces, and may well force Si Yuan to expose his strength and bring him into trouble.
Therefore, Si Yuan simply ignored what the Nascent Soul soul, which was supposed to be the opportunity for the male protagonist Chen Ye, wanted to say from the beginning. He suddenly closed his palms and crushed the little man in his palms.
The reason why Si Yuan could get rid of this Nascent Soul without any psychological barriers was because he knew that this Nascent Soul could become the opportunity and tribulation for the male protagonist, and it was most likely an existence with extraordinary origins but with ulterior motives towards the male protagonist.
Si Yuan's action to eliminate this Nascent Soul soul will not anger the laws of this world.
Because Tiandao has no emotional awareness, he only reacts instinctively according to the plot.
Since the final outcome of this Nascent Soul is death after failing to take over another body, Si Yuan crushes the Nascent Soul now, which is equivalent to skipping the process and reaching the ending directly. There is a problem, but the Heavenly Dao cannot detect this problem, so he can only accept it.
Only after Si Yuan crushed the Nascent Soul did Sheng Zi breathe a sigh of relief. The hidden danger was solved and he could now rest assured.
Si Yuan then raised his eyes to look at Sheng Zi, who was assigned as the new treasure delivery boy, and said, "I heard that you set up a stall for a living?"
Si Yuan's tone was calm, but Sheng Zi could hear the feeling of "I heard that you are not practicing hard but are cheating and committing fraud." He was so scared that he shuddered secretly and replied respectfully: "Yes, Master, I just make a living and earn some resources for practice."
Sheng Zi didn't dare to lie in front of Si Yuan and answered honestly.
Si Yuan was not angry after hearing this, as cheating and deceiving were too common in the cultivation world. There were no so-called laws in the cultivation world, so naturally they could not control those ruthless people who extorted, cheated, murdered and robbed people.
Cultivation is also a very selfish thing. There are many cultivators who have massacred cities and countries for cultivation resources. When the lower limit is lowered, Si Yuan’s moral standards for cultivators are no longer high.
Sheng Zi did not have enough resources for cultivation, so he tried to get the resources for cultivation on his own. Who could blame him for doing anything wrong? Perhaps except for the victims who were cheated, other monks could understand his actions.
That’s why Sheng Zi was able to set up a stall for so long without anyone reporting him. I guess there are people in the Sheng family who want to follow suit.
Unfortunately, even when it comes to cheating and deceiving, there are differences in talent and skills involved. Not everyone has the talent for cheating like Sheng Zi.
The victims who have been cheated do not buy things from regular and secure shops and auction houses, but go to street stalls. Their purpose is to get a bargain. They know that it is difficult to get a bargain, and the things they buy are most likely fake or waste. But why do so many people still fall for it?
It's a matter of willingness to fight and to be beaten, thinking that the lucky guy might eventually come to you.
So Si Yuan doesn't care about these things. This kind of situation cannot be eliminated in the cultivation world. Even in the ordinary mortal world, there are such situations, let alone the cultivation world.
Although mortals call practitioners immortals, it is obvious that they are not real immortals and cannot be free of desires like clay Buddhas.
Si Yuan simply reminded Sheng Zi a few words, telling him to be careful not to make any mistakes. If he provokes someone he cannot afford to offend, don't expect the Sheng family to stand up for his unreasonable fraud.
After being warned by Si Yuan, Sheng Zi said awkwardly, "Master, rest assured, I will never do such a thing again. I will just take on missions in the family and earn credits to exchange for cultivation resources..."
The Sheng family is such a large aristocratic family, so naturally they want to provide family members with opportunities and ways to obtain resources. Therefore, many tasks within the family are very lucrative and will reward merits. Family members can use merits to exchange for martial arts secrets or cultivation resources. In short, points are omnipotent in the Sheng family.
However, it is difficult to earn points. The simpler tasks with high points have already been completed, leaving only the complex and difficult tasks left.
Small tasks that other monks find easy are more likely to be snatched up by others.
As a descendant of the Sheng family's side branch, Sheng Zi was not valued by the clan members, and it was difficult for him to snatch family missions. The cultivation resources he received in exchange after completing the missions were not enough to support his cultivation.
This is how Sheng Zi went astray.
When Si Yuan heard Sheng Zi say this, he didn't say anything. After all, as the head of the family, he couldn't explain that he had no intention of defrauding him or forcing him to complete family tasks.
So Si Yuan could only keep silent, but seeing that Sheng Zi seemed to have misunderstood him, Si Yuan could only silently decide in his heart to assign more tasks to Sheng Zi so that he could accumulate merits to exchange for cultivation resources.
On his way down from the peak of Lingshan Mountain, Sheng Zi met many family members, so the news that he was appreciated by the head of the family was leaked.
It even became more and more outrageous, to the point where it became known that Si Yuan wanted to accept Sheng Zi as his personal disciple.
Si Yuan, who learned of the rumor, said: "..."
Sheng Zi who learned of the rumor: “…QAQ” How could he be so worthy of being valued by the patriarch and becoming his personal disciple!
You have to know that there is no difference between the patriarch's direct disciple and the patriarch's biological son. Both of them are heirs to the position of patriarch. If Sheng Zi is really accepted as a direct disciple by Si Yuan, then when Si Yuan abdicates in the future, Sheng Zi will be qualified to compete with Sheng Yunqi, the young master, for the position of patriarch.
Therefore, many members of the Sheng family who believed the rumors were very dissatisfied with Sheng Zi. They didn't understand how Sheng Zi, an ordinary member of a side branch who was only at the foundation-building stage, could catch the eye of the head of the family.
Sheng Zi was also confused: "Don't you have the ability to think independently? Since you think I'm unworthy, have you ever considered that this is a rumor?"
While Sheng Zi was trying to clarify the rumors, Chen Ye also heard the news.
He started to think: if the head of the Sheng family wanted to accept a disciple, could he rely on his relationship with Sheng Yunqi to recommend himself?
No, why don’t we wait until Sheng Yunqi returns from his training in Feisha Secret Realm, and then ask Sheng Yunqi to help recommend him.
Chen Ye thus set his sights on becoming Si Yuan's personal disciple.
While Chen Ye was thinking this, a rumor had spread in the Sheng family that Si Yuan wanted to accept a disciple as his own, with no restrictions on identity, only talent and strength.
Seeing the rumor spread to an outrageous level, Si Yuan: "..."
For some reason, deep down in his heart he actually wanted to follow the rumors and really wanted to take in a disciple.
As soon as Si Yuan had this thought, he quickly dismissed it, and his aura became even colder.
The laws of nature in this world have really tried their best to give the lucky male protagonist a golden finger.
Because Chen Ye’s two Nascent Soul Soul Golden Fingers were pinched off by Si Yuan, the Heavenly Dao had to give Chen Ye a Nascent Soul cultivator as a teacher.
The Nascent Soul teachers who had only their Nascent Soul left after their physical bodies were all dealt with by Si Yuan one by one. Tiandao simply planned to arrange a living Nascent Soul teacher for the lucky male protagonist.
Because Si Yuan already has more than a dozen living Nascent Soul cultivators, Tiandao is probably afraid that Si Yuan will kill the Nascent Soul teacher he prepared for the lucky male protagonist, so he tries to make Si Yuan the teacher of the lucky male protagonist - after all, Si Yuan can't kill himself.
But this touched Si Yuan's reverse scale. Si Yuan hated most that someone wanted to tamper with his memory or thoughts.
Although this Heavenly Dao only vaguely influenced his concepts, it only lasted for a moment and soon lost its effect, and did not cause any impact or harm to Si Yuan.
But Si Yuan could not tolerate such a thing to happen. If Tiandao dared to influence his thoughts for a moment for Chen Ye today, then tomorrow Tiandao would dare to directly control his soul and make him fall into eternal damnation.
Si Yuan was burning with rage, but the angrier he got, the calmer he became, so calm that no one could see his anger.
Sheng Yunqi, who returned smoothly from his training in Feisha Secret Realm, noticed that after he returned to the Sheng family, the way the clan members looked at him was a little strange.
Sheng Yunqi was a little puzzled. There were actually people looking at him with eyes full of pity and sympathy. Did he, the young master, still need the sympathy of an ordinary member of the tribe? What is going on?
Sheng Yunqi went to inquire with the young men of the Sheng family who had once taken refuge with him, only to find out that his father actually intended to take in a personal disciple.
Generally speaking, in an immortal cultivation family like the Sheng family, which is linked by surname and blood relationship, the young master is the direct bloodline of the head of the family. Only if there is no plan to let the biological son succeed to the throne will they consider taking in a disciple to be trained as the new heir.
Therefore, many members of the Sheng family thought that Si Yuan’s desire to accept a personal disciple was a sign of his dissatisfaction with his own son Sheng Yunqi, and that he did not intend to let Sheng Yunqi continue to be the heir.
Sheng Yunqi didn't believe this was true. After all, his father had never expressed dissatisfaction with him. Instead, he often said things like he was looking forward to his performance.
Moreover, Sheng Yunqi thinks that his talent and cultivation speed are the best among the children of the Sheng family. How could there be anyone better than him? How could his father give up on him and train someone else to be his heir?
After learning the specific content of the rumor, Sheng Yunqi rushed to Si Yuan and asked him the truth.
Si Yuan comforted him, "Of course it's fake. I don't know why the rumor spread like this. Don't worry, I will clarify the rumor later."
However, it cannot be clarified for the time being, after all, the issue of the lucky male protagonist Chen Ye has not been resolved.
If Chen Ye is not dealt with, Tiandao will make everyone in the Sheng family believe that Si Yuan wants to accept a personal disciple.
After hearing Si Yuan's words of comfort, Sheng Yunqi felt much more relaxed.
