I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 162 The family is always together

Shan Wanjing was stunned.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked in surprise: "Shen, Uncle Shen?"

Shan Meixian said anxiously, "We'll discuss this title later. Go help Lord Shang and make sure the Dongming Sect's account books don't fall into the hands of others."

Shan Wanjing came back to her senses, "Yes, that roar just now must have meant that something happened to Lord Shang."

At the moment, she didn't have the energy to care about these things.

The two went straight to the cabin where Shang Gong was.

As soon as he broke through the door, he saw a masked man in black chasing Shang Gong in the air in the spacious study. He held a short sword about a foot long in each hand, and every move he made was aimed at Shang Gong's vital points, with extreme ruthlessness and sharpness.

In just a moment, Shang Gong exchanged more than ten moves with his opponent, but Shang Gong was obviously injured, his moves gradually became weak, and his steps became staggering.

The man in black moved around Shang Gong's head like a ghost, launching an amazing offensive like the Yangtze River against Shang Gong, who was at a disadvantage, leaving him no chance to breathe.

Shan Wanjing gave a delicate cry, drew her sword and rushed forward, fighting side by side with Shang Gong.

The man in black used more fierce tactics and forcibly withdrew from the sword net formed by Shan Wanjing and Shang Gong.

Then he rushed to the table like lightning and picked up the account book with one hand.

Then, it crashed through the bulkhead.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, he was outside.

Shang Gong shouted angrily, "Thief, leave what you have in your hand!"

Hearing his roar, shouts were heard from the Dongming from time to time, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

The man in black was probably worried that he would be surrounded.

So he chose a window and went through it.

Just as he was about to fly out of the window, he suddenly heard a sigh from outside the window, "Go back."

"You want to stop me? Dream on!" The man in black snorted coldly, swung the dagger in his hand, and rushed straight to the window at an extremely fast speed.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the window, stretched out two fingers and clamped the extremely fast dagger.

The speed of this person's movement was so astonishing that even with his own skills, he couldn't even see his figure and face clearly.

The black-clothed man's expression suddenly changed, with fear in his eyes, but the other dagger in his hand did not stop at all. He swung it out with force, flying towards the opponent's chest.

Although the flying sword moved quickly, the figure was even faster. The dagger had just flown out when the opponent disappeared like a ghost.

In just a blink of an eye, he appeared before his eyes out of thin air.

Not only did he hold his two daggers in his hands, but he also blocked his own path.

The man in black was so frightened that he couldn't dodge in time. However, when the figure was less than half a foot away from him, he suddenly stopped, contrary to common sense, and attacked as fast as the wind, pressing several major acupoints on his chest.

Only when he fell down did he see clearly that it was a young man.

However, the opponent's body movements were so fast and urgent that it was difficult to catch up with him.

Especially the light skill that could suddenly stop at the last moment, he had never even heard of it before. He watched helplessly as the other party sealed his acupoints. Although he was terrified, he could do nothing.

Although Shang Gong was injured, he rushed over with all his strength, searched the man in black and took the account book that he had hidden.

After flipping it open and taking a few glances, he handed it to Shan Wanjing who had followed.

"Princess, the account book is here. I have failed to protect it properly. Please punish me, Princess."

"Shang Gong, there's no need to do this." Shan Wanjing said softly, "You're already injured. It's important to heal well first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people from the Dongming Sect rushed into the room.

The leaders were Shan Xiu and Shan Yudie.

Seeing the man in black lying motionless on the ground, he ordered his men to arrest him.

And pulled off the black veil on the man in black's face.

When Lord Shang saw the man's appearance clearly, his eyes lit up: "So it's Yuwen Chengdu from the Yuwen clan. No wonder he has such skills."

"The Yuwen clan failed to steal in Yuhang, yet they're stealing in Pengcheng again. They're truly ruthless!" Shan Wanjing said coldly, "Imprison him and have a good talk with the Yuwen clan soon."

Wait until things here are settled.

Shan Meixian arrived late.

She changed into a gorgeous lake green dress and tied her hair up in a bun, but her face was still covered with a layer of veil, hiding her appearance like mist.

When a group of Dongming Sect members saw Shan Meixian slowly approaching, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted, shouting in unison, "Madam!"

Shan Wanjing looked at her mother in surprise and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

Shan Meixian nodded slightly, then quickly turned her gaze to Shang Ping, who was pale and covering his wound, and asked softly with concern, "Is Shang Gong injured?"

Shang Ping endured the pain and replied, "Madam, I was careless for a moment and accidentally injured by the enemy. Fortunately, Master Shen came to my aid in time. Otherwise, the thief would have escaped with our Dongming Sect's account books."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Lang with gratitude.

This old man was shouting in the casino that he wanted to gamble his life, even to the death, but now he looks so grateful that he is in tears. It can only be said that people become wiser as they get older.

Shan Meixian also nodded slightly towards Shen Lang to express her gratitude.

He glanced at Yuwen Chengdu who was standing not far away and said in a calm tone:
"I never thought the Yuwen Clan would actually send Yuwen Chengdu here. Since the Dongming Clan's account books are the source of this series of calamities, why not just destroy them? This will prevent them from being used as a tool by those with ulterior motives in the future."

Hearing this, Shan Wanjing asked again: "Mom, how should we deal with this guy?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Yuwen Chengdu.

Shan Meixian didn't answer her daughter's question immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Shen Lang again and asked slowly, "Sir, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with Yuwen Chengdu?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

Obviously, they didn't expect that Shan Meixian would ask for Shen Lang's opinion in front of so many people.

Is this also true for Shen Lang?

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "This is the Dongming Sect's business. If I were to intervene rashly, I'm afraid it would cause dissatisfaction among you."

He did not directly answer Shan Meixian's question, but asked Shang Ping, "I wonder if Mr. Shang would like to hear what I have to say?"

"Thanks to your intervention tonight, the Dongming Sect was able to keep the account books." Shang Ping said calmly, "And you captured Yuwen Chengdu. Whatever you think, you can raise it."

Shan Wanjing took over the conversation, "Master Shen, what do you think?"

"If it were me, I would kill Yuwen Chengdu."

Shen Lang said slowly, "But the Dongming Sect is not a solitary organization like me. You live overseas and have no roots in the Central Plains. If you are worried that offending the Yuwen Clan will harm the Dongming Sect, you can use Yuwen Chengdu and the Yuwen Clan to reach some agreements that are beneficial to the Dongming Sect."

"But this is just my personal opinion." He looked at the people from the Dongming Sect again, "As I said at the beginning, I'm not from the Dongming Sect. The specific decisions on how to proceed will still be made by you."

Shan Meixian nodded gently, "That's exactly what we should do. If the Yuwen clan doesn't abide by the agreement, we will take action."

"In that case, let's discuss this carefully," Shan Wanjing said. "First, lock up Yuwen Chengdu and don't let him escape."

"Princess, don't worry. Yuwen Chengdu has fallen into my unique secret weapon. He can't escape unless I can untie it." Shen Lang said confidently.

He was not joking when he talked about the hidden trick. Chai Shao was also hit by his hidden trick and would become an impotent man in the future.

Shan Wanjing began to clean up the mess.

These were all matters of the Dongming Sect, and Shen Lang did not participate in them. He apologized and prepared to leave.

Shan Meixian was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shen, you have performed such a great service by preventing the Dongming Sect's account books from being leaked, thus preserving the Dongming Sect's reputation. Shan Xiu, you will order a banquet."

"Yes, madam." Shan Xiu nodded in response.

Shen Lang pretended to be modest and said, "Madam, you are praising me. I am just helping out a little."

It was obvious that the two of them were flirting with each other, but in front of others, they acted as if nothing had happened.

Especially Shan Meixian, she is truly a lady in front of people and a slut behind their backs.

It was indescribable. Shan Meixian said calmly, "A master like Yuwen Chengdu could even defeat Lord Shang. If you weren't there, even Wan Jing would have been injured if she had tried to stop him. But you were able to subdue him so easily. This alone is enough to make you famous in the martial arts world."

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the corridor outside.

When Shan Wanjing saw the two people leave, she suddenly felt uneasy for some reason.

After entering another room, Shan Meixian suddenly sighed and said, "I'm afraid Wan Jing already knows about our relationship. What do you think we should do?"

What to do?

Shen Lang thought to himself: Of course it’s all stewed in one pot.

However, if this were to be said, Shan Meixian would definitely not agree.

But as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

So he smiled and said, "She's probably just suspicious now, and she has no substantial evidence. Besides, you've been alone for so many years, it's definitely not easy for her to stop you from finding happiness."

Shan Meixian said, "I have a question that I need you to answer honestly."

"You said."

Shan Meixian looked at him seriously and said, "You and Wanjing have been traveling together since Yuhang. Is it true that nothing happened?"

Shen Lang said nonchalantly, "What could possibly happen? If you don't trust my character, you should trust your daughter's. She takes the future of the Dongming Sect as her own responsibility. How could she easily fall in love with me?"

Shan Meixian frowned slightly, obviously not believing what Shen Lang said.

He continued, "That day at the Yuhang dock, I sensed that you were no ordinary person. In this world, apart from the renowned Li Shimin of the Li family, I'm afraid it would be hard to find anyone comparable to you. That's why I cherished your talent. I never imagined... Alas."

Shen Lang smiled faintly and responded, "Even if you didn't allow me to board this ship at that time, I would still find a way to come and pay my respects to you, my lady. This is what people often say, 'One thought connects with the other.'"

Shan Meixian shook her head slightly, and replied somewhat helplessly: "Maybe."

She paused briefly before continuing, "In the past, Wan Jing admired Li Shimin and would often compare him to him when she spoke to others. But ever since that time with you, most of the things she said have been about you. It's hard to believe she hasn't had feelings for you."

Shen Lang naturally understood in his heart that even if Shan Wanjing tried to conceal such an obvious and huge change, someone as smart as Shan Meixian would definitely be able to see the clues.

Shan Meixian couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a worried look on her face, "What I'm most worried about right now is what if she also has feelings for you? How should I deal with it then?"

Shen Lang said nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry too much about this. I'm an excellent person, just like a jar of fine wine. You like to drink it, and the princess likes to drink it too. Why don't we drink it together?"

"What do you mean by drinking together?" Shan Meixian frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Lang stretched out his big hand and hugged him in his arms: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Hey, why are you moving around again?" Shan Meixian said angrily, "Wan Jing might see you again."

"How could we be seen?" Shen Lang straightened her body and made her look at him. "You must boldly pursue your own happiness. Happiness is right in front of you. How can you give it up to others?"

Seeing herself in his eyes, Shan Meixian felt that his eyes suddenly became mysterious and weird.

The voice that came to my ears seemed to penetrate deep into my soul.

"You've worked so hard for so many years, and now that your happiness is right before your eyes, how could you give it up to someone else? And Shang Ming is such a jerk. He just got provoked by me and overturned the bowl and lost to me. Could you bear to let Wan Jing be with someone like that?"

"You should have been the most outstanding disciple of the Yinkui Sect, but you were defiled by Bian Bufu. The Yin Queen ignored you, and Bian Bufu has forgotten you and your mother for many years. Have you never thought about revenge on them?"

"Besides, since you're already living abroad, why not emulate the Yin Queen and devote yourself wholeheartedly to a long and fulfilling love life? You and I, as a couple, will surely build the Dongming Sect into a super sect."

"As for Wan Jing, even though she's your daughter, how can she separate us? Besides, only our family can lead the Dongming Sect and prevent it from falling into the hands of others."

"Not only do we want to build the Dongming Sect into a super sect, we also want to avenge those who have hurt you. You should never forget this, and you must never forget it!"

Shan Meixian listened to Shen Lang say it again and again.

Suddenly I found my head was dizzy. Not only was I completely unable to concentrate, but I was also influenced by what he said.

Suddenly, he felt an indescribable hatred towards Bian Bufu and Zhu Yuyan.

Even the men in the Shang family, including Shang Ming, hated her to the core, thinking that they were not worthy of Shan Wanjing.

The words penetrated her ears and seeped into her mind.

It was like leaving a deep mark in her soul.

A painful and sad expression began to appear on Shan Meixian's face.

He murmured, "They hurt me so deeply. I must take revenge. I must take revenge severely..."

"The people in the Demon Sect don't act according to common sense and morality. You are originally from the Demon Sect, so why should you care about those things?" Shen Lang said again.

Shan Meixian listened quietly, her eyes gradually becoming confused and empty, but the determination on her face became stronger.

"Instead of letting Wanjun get away with something else, why not give me her Red Pill? I can help the Dongming Sect reach a higher level."

"Do you understand what I mean now?"

Shan Meixian nodded slowly and said softly, "I understand."

"Will you do what I say?"

Shan Meixian nodded and said, "Yes!"

"So you must believe everything I say, right?"

"Believe it all."

Shen Lang leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Now we are like this... You wait here for me, I will be back soon, just be good and don't move."

He took out a veil and covered her eyes.

Shan Meixian sat quietly.

After Shen Lang left the room, he said to the maid guarding the door, "Madam, please rest for a while. No one is allowed to disturb you, and please don't rush to send the food and wine."

"Yes." The maid nodded.

When Shan Wanjing saw Shen Lang, she sighed softly, a look of deep resentment on her face, and asked softly, "What do you want from me?"

"How is the matter going?" Shen Lang asked.

Shan Wanjing said, "It has been dealt with for now. Yuwen Chengdu is under custody, and the account books have been destroyed."

"In that case, let's go meet the lady." Shen Lang said.

Shan Wanjing was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and walked to the corridor outside. Seeing that there was no one else around, she asked, "What is the relationship between you and my mother?"

"You'll know what the relationship is when you see her later." Shen Lang said, "Rather than asking me, I think it's better to ask my wife."

Shan Wanjing suddenly stopped and looked him in the eyes. "Look into my eyes and say, I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me."

Hearing this, Shen Lang met her eyes.

But as soon as their eyes met, Shan Wanjing suddenly felt that his eyes became a little seductive.

It's like a whirlpool, sucking everyone in.

"My relationship with you is the same as my relationship with Madam." Shen Lang spoke slowly, slowly entering Shan Wanjing's ears and into her head.

"Do you have the heart to watch your wife continue to be alone and miserable? Do you want to be with someone you don't like? Do you have the heart to see the Dongming Sect fall into the hands of others in the future? Do you have the heart to let your wife's hard work go to waste?"

"Only when we are together will the Dongming Sect be more stable. This will not affect the relationship between us, but will only make the bond between the three of us even deeper."

"In this way, both you and your wife will be able to find happiness, and a love stronger than gold. Nothing will separate you, and nothing will let your hard work go to waste."

"Don't you think this would be better? Wouldn't it allow our family to stay together forever and keep the Dongming Sect as stable as Mount Tai?"

Although Shan Wanjing felt that these words were a bit ridiculous, she nodded involuntarily, and her eyes could not be taken away from Shen Lang's sight.

Shan Wanjing said softly: "Yes, this is a good idea."

"Then let's go and meet the lady." Shen Lang said in her ear again.

Shan Wanjing looked straight ahead, with only one thought in her mind - the family would always be together.

Arrived at the door of Shan Meixian's room.
