Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 179 Settlement of Accounts
"Why?" Shen Mengning frowned and looked at Shen Fuyu stubbornly, wanting to know a reason.

Shen Fuyu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and opened his lips, not knowing how to explain to Shen Mengning.

After a long time, Shen Fuyu sighed.

"A Ning, everyone has their own aspirations, and I have my own choices too."

"I believe you will respect my choice, right?"

Although the Shen sisters were a little unhappy, they still chose to respect Shen Fuyu.

They nodded dejectedly.

Shen Fuyu smiled and said, "Could it be that only if I become your adopted daughter will you treat me sincerely?"

"How is that possible? In our hearts, you will always be a good sister."

"That's right." Shen Fuyu was relieved. "No matter what our relationship is, as long as we both recognize this relationship in our hearts, that's enough."

After Shen Fuyu's teasing, the depressed mood of the Shen sisters disappeared instantly.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

"I heard that someone wants to treat me to a meal."

I saw an old man in black robe leaning lazily against the door frame.

Shen Fuyu: "..."

Shen Fuyu once again had a clear understanding of the black-robed old man's ability to appear and disappear at will.

"Master, I didn't have time to thank you yesterday before you left."

All the unpleasantness of the past disappeared. No matter what the old man in black robe had the intention, he saved Shen Fuyu from danger.

If the old man in black robe had not arrived in time, it would be unknown whether Shen Fuyu could survive Murong Yue's hands.

The old man in black robe was holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He was so old but didn't even behave properly. However, the sisters of the Shen family were very respectful to him. In their opinion, the unruly attitude of the old man in black robe was in line with their stereotype of a hermit.

After all, the higher the ability, the weirder the temper.

The old man in black robe has outstanding abilities and some strange temper, but he can be tolerated.

The most important thing is that the old man in black robe saved Shen Fuyu and killed Murong Yue.

"Master!"

“This is a small token of my appreciation.”

Shen Mengwu casually pulled out a jade pendant from her pocket. "My mother bought this from a foreign merchant at a high price. It's very rare."

She looked at the old man in black robe with admiration, and shamelessly called him Master along with Shen Fuyu.

The old man in black robe was amused by the little girl. He took the jade pendant casually, looked at its quality and nodded reluctantly.

"You are quite perceptive, little girl. You are much better than Shen Fuyu."

The old man in black robe glanced at Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

"Shen Fuyu is the most powerful person in the world."

"Master, Shen Fuyu is very powerful. He lost this time because Murong Yue took the wrong path. Otherwise, Murong Yue would not be able to defeat Shen Fuyu."

Shen Mengwu clenched her fists and defended Shen Fuyu.

The black-robed old man's face changed instantly, and he was about to throw the jade pendant back into Shen Mengwu's hands. Shen Fuyu quickly spoke up to stop this farce.

"Master, you must be very tired after traveling for so long."

"My disciple is a fool again. He can't even solve such a small matter. After my injury is healed, I will continue to cook delicious food for my master. How about that?"

The old man in black robe licked his lips, unconsciously thinking of Shen Fuyu's cooking skills when they were climbing the mountain. His expression eased a little and he nodded reservedly.

It is more fragrant than the spiritual food eaten in the world of immortal cultivation.

Shen Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief and hinted to Shen Mengning with his eyes.

Shen Mengning took advantage of the situation to pull Shen Mengwu back and calmly stood between Shen Mengwu and the old man in black robe.

Only then did Shen Fuyu retract his gaze.

The old man in black robe is not a good person. When he is in a good mood, he is willing to deal with Shen Mengwu. But when he is in a bad mood, he might hurt Shen Mengwu.

Therefore, Shen Fuyu did not want the Shen sisters to have too much contact with the old man in black robe.

"Shen Fuyu, take good care of your injuries first. I'll come back to see you in three days."

Leaving behind a word, the old man in black robe disappeared in the room.

"Shen Fuyu, Master is a little scary." Shen Mengwu realized belatedly that the black-robed old man's mood had changed.

Shen Fuyu made up an excuse to appease Shen Mengwu.

……

On this side, after Mrs. Shen obtained the evidence, she directly sent someone to file a complaint before the emperor.

After the emperor sent someone to verify it and found out that it was true, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He gripped the envelope tighter and tighter.

"Come here, go to Jingren Palace."

Suddenly, a group of eunuchs and palace maids followed the emperor.

The massive movement of the group of people could not escape the Queen's sight.

The Queen became panicked and kept thinking about whether there was any evidence left.

She comforted herself.

Your Majesty will not find out. She acted secretly and did not leave any evidence. The emperor is far away and Your Majesty will definitely not notice it.

Thinking of this, the Queen's restless heart calmed down.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

As the eunuch's spy's voice sounded, the Queen half-knelt down.

"See..."

Before the Queen could finish her words, she felt a pain in her chest.

"Ah!" She screamed, and the phoenix crown on her head fell off, revealing her black hair mixed with white hair.

Suddenly, the usually graceful and elegant queen became embarrassed.

"Vicious woman!"

The emperor retracted his kick against the queen.

His face was gloomy and he glared at the queen.

More than ten years have passed since the incident between Bai Yueguang and the little prince. Even if the emperor is very angry, he will definitely not impose any substantial punishment on the queen because of this incident.

Also, because the queen had behaved very honestly recently, the emperor felt a little soft-hearted.

Just as the two were about to reconcile, they suddenly received a letter from Mrs. Shen.

The emperor's chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that he was very angry with the queen.

"Bitch, what is there that you can't do?"

"I was truly blind to make you the Queen."

These words are very heavy.

Tears welled up in the queen's eyes, but her panic disappeared because of the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty, what did I do?"

"Since I was imprisoned, I have been worshipping Buddha in the palace and copying Buddhist scriptures every day."

"Under such circumstances, what could I possibly do to anger Your Majesty?"

Before, the Empress dared to argue with the Emperor.

However, after three months of confinement, even the queen would have to think twice before acting.

The queen slumped to the ground without caring about her image at all, tears gradually sliding down from the corners of her eyes, as if she was really innocent.

The emperor sneered and threw the letter in the queen's face.

"Poisonous woman, how dare you?"

"They actually threatened court officials and used the refugee issue to make a fuss."

The queen's face turned pale instantly. She picked up the letter on the ground with trembling hands and read it at a glance.

My heart was sinking and my brain was racing, thinking of a solution.

What should I do? What should I do?

Who brought the case to the emperor?
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. There must be a misunderstanding."
