Seeing Wang Jiu pushing the door forward with a grand gesture, the Li family was shocked.

Just like when a group of boys discussing whether to buy the woman they like with flowers or snacks, someone has dragged the goddess into the grass. Such simple and crude behavior is simply an insult to everyone's IQ.

"Wang Jiu, what are you doing?" Chen Qingming exclaimed.

Wang Jiuqi said: "As you see, visit Shen Ziqiong and convince him to use it for us."

"No one allows you to go in!"

Wang Jiu said, "No one can stop him."

“Eh?”

Seeing that Chen Qingming showed a familiar and ignorant expression, Wang Jiu had to patiently explain: "We have officially submitted a letter of introduction to the letter of worship and Shen Ziyuan according to the general social etiquette. If Shen Ziqiong refuses to meet, he should reply with the same specifications. If he wants to take this opportunity to express his contempt for the Li family, he should also reply with the word "Pho" like the city lord Chen Ruoshi to clarify his attitude. But Shen Ziqiong has no response now, so I have reason to believe that the other party is using this ambiguous attitude to suggest that we can sneak into the house."

"..." Chen Qingming was also stunned by this righteous rogue logic.

Li Wanqing educated her sister next to her: "So remember that if a scumbag comes to harass you in the future, you must use the clearest attitude to express your rejection, otherwise these men will be passionate about thinking that you are using an ambiguous attitude to suggest that they can sneak in..."

Chen Qingming immediately realized something when he heard this and immediately reached out and pushed Li Wanqing away: "I will reiterate it last, there is no possibility between you and me!"

"..." Li Wanqing, who was digging her own grave, had the urge to grab the ground with her head.

At this time, Wang Jiu had already pushed open Shen Ziqiong's courtyard gate.

Unexpectedly, there was no alarm bell or three hundred swords and axe behind the door, and a secluded path appeared in front of everyone like a silent invitation.

Could it be that Wang Jiu really guessed it right?

With questions, everyone followed Wang Jiu into the courtyard and saw that the scenery along the way was blurred and changing, as if there were green mountains and green waters, and pavilions, but the scenery was like a veil, which was not real. If you want to look closely, there would be mist rising, blocking people's sight.

After walking like this for a moment, everyone felt like they were in a mud, with hazy fantasy scenes all over the front, back and left, and looked particularly groggy under the night.

However, just when someone was already feeling obviously uncomfortable, a light was on in front of him, and a bamboo room suddenly appeared at the end of the road, with the bamboo door half-closed, as if it was silently invited.

Behind the door, a scholar in white clothes was holding a scroll in his hand and chanting silently. However, as his eyes passed by lines of text, inside and outside the bamboo room, there seemed to be a solemn and grand scene of bells and cauldrons ringing and chanting thousands of people.

Behind it is the vast night, but in front of you it seems infinitely magnificent, which makes you dizzy.

From Li Wanqing to the bottom of Li family, the four of them felt their breath stagnant at the same time. The grand scene ahead was like an invisible barrier, blocking people from moving forward no more.

Only Wang Jiu firmly controlled the body of the white sword with the form of the charcoal formation, passed the grand scene set by the scholar without any obstacles, came to the bamboo room, and completely pushed open the half-covered bamboo door.

The scholar's eyes suddenly moved away from the book, and at the same time, the illusions around him disappeared.

"Great courage, good ability." The scholar nodded and gave a flattering praise. "I thought that according to the courage of the Li family, at most, they would talk outside the courtyard like a headless fly and leave in a mess. I didn't expect that you really dare to come into our courtyard and have the ability to break my book realm. No wonder you were made to the outside courtyard by you, and no wonder my two incompetent sons have been absent from the mind these days. This is how I finally know that there is a truth outside the sky."

While speaking, the scholar closed the book and stood up, revealing his tall and strong figure.

"I am Shen Ziqiong. I already know your purpose. Since I can pass my first two levels, please take a seat to have a tea."

As soon as the scholar bowed his sleeves, a few more cushions and tea cups appeared in the bamboo room.

The Li family looked at each other in all directions, followed Wang Jiu and entered the bamboo room, sat down and started to taste tea.

An unusually good tea, as soon as the tea is in the mouth, it turns into a light and delicate spiritual energy to nourish the whole body, making it easier for all limbs and bones.

Shen Ziqiong said nothing, and did not explain the origin and effectiveness of the tea. She only looked at the tea in the small tea cup after drinking the tea, and nodded and said, "Since you have finished drinking the tea, please come back."

Li Xinyu almost sprayed out the last half of the tea.

I'm here just now!? Are you just here? Is it a special trip to invite us to have tea?!

Shen Ziqiong said, "I can't help with your affairs, and I don't want to help you. Yueying, Jinghai must have his own considerations when doing things. I have no intention of confronting them. But on the other hand, I don't feel the need to make trouble with the Li family, so I can entertain you with the etiquette of hospitality, but I won't agree to your request. So, please go back."

These words were simply frank and touching, showing the essence of his fence-riding style without any concealment, but also blocking the Li family and the others' mouths.

People are clearly shameless, what else can they do?

"In addition, no one will come to help you in Shencheng. Yueying and Jinghai have been deputy city lords for nearly twenty years. The people's expectations and foundations are extraordinary. No one can overthrow the things they decide together except the city lord. Ordinary people will not even have the courage to be enemies with these two people."

After a pause, Shen Ziqiong said, "It is a good idea to resolve the grudges between the two families, but it is unrealistic. Now the city lord of Shencheng and the two deputy city lords have no intention of resolving this grudge. Your wishful thinking can only bring shame on yourself. If you are a little more rational, go back to Qingyun City as soon as possible. It is actually nothing to do if you resolve grudges or not. With the Holy Sect here, no matter how big the grudges are, it will not evolve into a life-and-death battle between the two major families. Without breaking through the bottom line, appropriate hatred will also help stimulate the cultivation of action."

These words were reasonable and honest, which made Shen Qingming and others speechless after hearing this.

Speaking of this, there is really nothing to say.

In desperation, Shen Qingming had to put his hope on Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiu nodded in recognition of Shen Ziqiong: "You are right. Appropriate hatred stimulation is indeed conducive to further releasing human subjective initiative. This is also the importance of market competition. For the common interests of the Shen and Li families, maintaining a certain hostility is a good thing."

"...Why are you talking to him?!" Shen Qingming never expected that Wang Jiu, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be the first to be rebellious. "According to what you said, we went thousands of miles to resolve the grudges between the two families, but instead poisoned the people of the two cities and became a disaster for beauty!?"

Wang Jiu looked at Shen Qingming and said, "Beauty usually has high requirements for appearance, you..."

"My dear idol, can't even beauties be in trouble?" Shen Qingming was also surprisingly angry, but soon felt upset and wronged by the current situation.

"It's really interesting to hate you all the time? I've been doing this for decades, and I still remember it so carelessly, and even passed on the hatred from generation to generation. If the ancestors had done this back then, the Xiangzhou continent would have fallen apart long ago!"

Chen Qingming complained in resentment, but saw that the people around him did not respond to her words at all, and he felt discouraged again.

"...It's true, if I had known that this would happen to come to Shencheng, I wouldn't listen to Shen Ziyu's tricks. I'd say that my grandfather wanted to see me. It's really nonsense. The recommendation letters he wrote were all spoiled!"

Before he finished speaking, the calm scholar in white suddenly raised his eyelids and asked in surprise: "Shen Ziyu? Are you recommended by Ziyu? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Then, the change from coldness to enthusiasm was like ice in the oven.

Chen Qingming was also very surprised by this change and responded: "We submitted his letter to his home on the first day of our visit, but there was no further information at all."

After that, I briefly talked about everyone's first day's experience.

Shen Ziqiong frowned: "Dad, is he so upset about what happened back then? He thought that decades have passed, and it seems that it is not that simple yet... But that makes no sense. If Dad's attitude is firm enough, Chen Jinghai should have driven you back to Qingyun at that time and shouldn't have let you go to the outer courtyard. This is strange."

Shaking his head, Shen Ziqiong simply stood up again: "Well, I'll go and ask myself what's going on. Please wait here for a while." After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared.

Shen Ziqiong's sudden enthusiasm and decisive style are really unpredictable and even stunning. Chen Qingming and Li Wanqing and others discussed and put forward several hypotheses, including the angry pigeons all night, closing the door and beating dogs, Chen Qingming's night trip to the White Tiger Hall, etc. The more he discussed, he became more and more frightened.

Until Wang Jiu picked up the book that Shen Ziqiong left in the same place with a hint of curiosity and read it.

Somewhat unexpected is that it is not a book of cultivation, but a hand-written record.

The name is...

"Today's Shen Ziyu Observation Diary"

At the same time, Shen Ziqiong had already arrived at the mansion of the deputy city lord Chen Jinghai.

"Oh, the rare guest." Chen Jinghai was still dressed in black, with a calm and flawless smile on his face, "What's the point?"

Shen Ziqiong straightforwardly: "What do you want to deal with the people of the Li family?"

Chen Jinghai said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Shen Ziqiong said: "They were introduced by Ziyu, so it has something to do with me."

"That's right, then you should also know what kind of attitude the city lord had towards what happened back then."

"That's all the time!"

Chen Jinghai nodded: "Yes, so I tried to test the city lord's meaning and threw them into the Shen family's outer courtyard. However, for 10 days, the city lord never said a word about this. What do you think this means?"

Shen Ziqiong frowned immediately: "I'm afraid..."
