One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

"Lord Clan Chief, are you slapping the table to scare Xiaoxiao?" It seems that way too! There seems to be no one else in this room other than you and me! "I wonder why the head of the Shen family is so angry?"

Shen Xiaoxiao said indifferently. Her eyes were strangely calm.

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Shen Qiu Ji's face. He heaved a heavy sigh.

"Xiaoxiao, don't speak nonsense about this matter. We didn't do anything to the Tang Family!"

"Sun Rui told me."

Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled.

Sun Rui said it?

Shen Qiu Ji's face sank, becoming terrifyingly gloomy.

Why did he tell Xiaoxiao about this …

Could it be that he wanted to use this to threaten him!?

Or could it be that this was the Sun family's intention?!

The more Shen Qiuji thought about it, the more surprised he became. It was as if he was leading the Shen family and falling into their trap step by step.

"No matter who said it, there's no such thing."

Shen Qiu Ji suddenly waved away the thoughts in his mind, and said resolutely.

No matter what, the rise of the Flame Dragon was imminent. If this sort of news were to spread, the Shen family would undoubtedly be in an even more passive position.

Even if the Sun family had some schemes and tricks, at this critical juncture, they wouldn't dare to burst out.

The Shen family could only take one step at a time, getting over the crisis before their eyes!

"He also said that he would ask our Shen family to help the Sun family purchase medicinal herbs." Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly added.

"When did he say that?"

Shen Qiu Ji's eyes were filled with killing intent.

This Sun Rui was really an ingrate that he was not familiar with!

If he wanted the Sun family's prettiest daughter, he would give her up without any shame.

But now, he wants the Shen family to pay for medicinal herbs for the Shen family!

For that, he even threatened her with that.

"Just before you came." Shen Xiaoxiao glanced in the direction of the bedroom as a sneer appeared on her face. "He even said that he wanted us to do our best to purchase all of the important medicinal herbs that the Tang Clan needed, in accordance with the Sun Clan's arrangement."

"He's crazy!"

Shen Qiu was angered to the point that his hair was standing on end, as he said.

Shen Qiu had originally come to ask for information through Shen Xiaoxiao's mouth, but he never expected to hear such an outcome.

"Of course he's not crazy." Shen Xiaoxiao said, "Sun Rui said that if we can do it, he can give us a batch of Body Refinement Pellets as compensation."

"Body Tempering Pill …." Is what he said true?! "

When Shen Qiu Ji heard about the Body Refinement Pellet, his eyes turned green.

That was a spiritual pill that could nurture a strong martial artist!

It was said that the two inner court experts of the Sun family had broken through after taking the Body Refinement Pellet.

"How many can he give us?"

Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there will be more than ten of them." This is the limit of the Sun family's pharmacy. "

Only ten?

Shen Qiu Ji was obviously not satisfied.

The Shen family had paid such a huge price. If there were only ten Body Refinement Pellets, it would be too much of a loss.

In other words, ten Body Refinement Pellets did not mean that he would become an expert.

If they were unlucky, not even one of them would be possible.

But even so, there were still countless people who rushed to the Sun family's medicine pills.

This was because even though he couldn't rely on pills to breakthrough, he could still strengthen his body and extend his lifespan. This thing couldn't be bought with money.

"Xiaoxiao." Shen Qiu Ji suddenly whispered, "You … …"

"Great Patriarch, do you have any other orders?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Qiu Ji coldly.

Seeing her gaze, even Shen Qiu Ji found it hard to say anything.

However, when he thought of the current predicament the Shen family was in, he still gritted his teeth and said,

"Can you tell Sun Rui to give us more pills?" Sigh! Even if our Shen family can't beat the Tang family, we must at least find a way to protect ourselves. With an extra bit of strength, we'll have a little more chances. Otherwise, if the Shen family were to fall apart, it would only be in front of us! "

"I've tried my best. If I continue to push for it, I'm afraid it will backfire." Shen Xiaoxiao said coldly.

"No matter what, we must fight for it. The life and death of the Shen family is at stake, and everyone must give it their all! " Shen Qiu Ji said in a deep voice.

"What I should have paid has already been paid. If we go now, they might not even give me any face at all. " Shen Xiaoxiao had a pained expression on her face.

"Xiaoxiao, since you've already taken the first step, what's the use of walking a bit further? If you contribute more to the family, I will allow your parents to live a good life. I will also arrange for a good position for your brother. "

A naked exchange!

Shen Xiaoxiao's tears rolled down her face.

Initially, she thought that Shen Qiu had the chance to say some words of comfort because he was forced to do so and would help her take revenge in the future.

However, she didn't expect that what Shen Qiuji said would cause her heart to turn cold.

"Alright, I'll do my best!"

As she said this, Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head.

His eyes were filled with the light of hatred.

Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's agreement, Shen Qiu Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

"Can you go out first? I need to think carefully about how to tell him."

Shen Xiaoxiao regained her previous indifference.

Shen Qiuji was taken aback.

He didn't expect that on the Shen family's territory, he would be ordered to leave.

However, in the end, he still needed to show some face.

After saying that, Shen Qiu Ji quickly left the pavilion.

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she pulled out her phone and called Sun Rui.

However, a system announcement rang out on the other end of the line …

Pata!

The courage he mustered disappeared in an instant and the phone fell to the ground.

The current Sun Rui was standing in the Sun family's meeting room.

Similarly, the atmosphere here was very depressing.

Even though he had extorted the Shen family, the Sun family's days might not be easy.

"After the Elders Guild's research, they were still unable to solve the mystery behind that formation. Its principle is unheard-of, unheard-of, and seems to be a whole new set of patterns. "

Sun Daoyin slowly said as he sat in the main seat.

Everyone had actually long heard of this result.

However, as the head of the Shen family, it was still hard for them to accept what he had said.

They had originally thought that Liu Chu was only a member of the Zhang Family, but now it seemed that the situation was not as simple as they had imagined.

Sun Likun stood up and respectfully said:

"Patriarch, how about we let the Elders take a look!" If we don't figure out the true origins of that Liu Chu, then we really shouldn't act rashly! "I believe his appearance has also attracted the attention of several other families. Since the Dragon Cave families are supporting him, there is no need for our Sun family to stand out."

Sun Mao immediately agreed, "Fourth Uncle is right, we have to figure out Liu Chu's purpose in coming here. Now, it seemed that everything was caused by him alone. That is why we need to be careful. I definitely do not believe that he fought one on one! "

"If there is still an unknown power behind him, our Sun family should change our attitude as soon as possible and find a way to befriend him. These years, although our Sun family appears to be at its peak, everyone should be well aware that the other families are all looking for opportunities. Our cards have been exposed too much. If we can get on good terms with Liu Chu, it might even be a chance. "

Sun Miao was indeed worthy of being the leader among the new generation of the Sun family. His words got the approval of the majority of the people.

Even the picky Patriarch Sun Daoxin nodded, agreeing with his suggestion.

In fact, for the Sun family, other than the fact that Sun Ming's matter had disgraced the family, there didn't seem to be too many grudges between the Sun family and Yan Long or Liu Chu.

In this way, they would have room for manoeuvre in this matter.

Sun Daoyin was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "If no one has any objections, then let's go along with this train of thought. Of course, we cannot be too passive. I will urge the Elders Guild to use secret channels to investigate this Liu Chu's background. "

Only Sun Daoyin was aware that if he tried to befriend Liu Chu now, that would be impossible.

On the surface, the matter of controlling the Flame Dragon's funds to be cut was promoted by the other six families in the Dragon Cave, but the Sun family had secretly put in a lot of effort.

This point might be enough to fool outsiders, but Tang Chun definitely knew it.

Thinking about the relationship between the Tang Clan and Liu Chu, Sun Daoyi had no confidence that he could win Liu Chu over.

However, in order to ensure internal stability, he couldn't point it out right now.

Sun Rui had obtained benefits from the Shen family, especially from Shen Xiaoxiao. He was a person who understood the taste of the marrow, so he wasn't willing to let the matter go.

When he thought of the words she had said to him, he immediately stood up and said:

"Reporting to the Patriarch, Sun Rui has something to say."

"Feel free to speak!" Sun Daoxin was startled, but he still said it.

Sun Rui secretly broke out in a cold sweat, weighed his words, and said:

"Right now, we are working with the six great families to deal with the Flame Dragon. The amount of medicinal ingredients they can buy is limited and they only have that much money, I don't believe that they will be able to find anything! Furthermore, those medicinal ingredients are all treasures to ordinary people. However, we know that the medicinal effects are actually not as good as ordinary medicinal herbs. "

"Moreover, I have a feeling that the other party is purposely setting up a suspicious formation and has tricked us." Perhaps, their target might not be these herbs. Just to get our attention. "It's a pity that your grandson is so stupid. For the time being, I can't think of any tricks they are playing."

What Sun Rui said was actually what he was worried about.

"Sun Rui, the fact that you have this kind of insight shows that you have put in a lot of effort. My Sun family rewards and rewards you clearly, and now you are going to take over the family business. This must be done well. On the one hand, they had to secretly control the six families to continue exhausting their strength. At the right time, they had to subdue them in one fell swoop. Remember, you must not fight the Flame Dragon head-on, or else I'll ask only of you! "

"Understood, Patriarch!"

With that said, Sun Rui bowed slightly, feeling both surprised and happy.

Actually, he wasn't the one who came up with those words. Instead, it was Shen Xiaoxiao.

Now that he had received such a great reward, Sun Rui couldn't help but value Shen Xiaoxiao even more.

He had finally allowed the old tutor to change his mind a little. He was no longer the bold and unscheming person of the past, a person who couldn't be made into anything anymore.

Sun Daoyin waved his hand to tell everyone to leave, leaving Sun Rui behind.
