NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40
The Ancestor of the Shen Family (II)
Huawu Peak
This was the place where the Shen family’s ancestor, Shen Yuanlong, cultivated.
At this moment, he was sitting at a jade table.
Opposite him sat a woman in a light yellow dress. She was beautiful, but she had white hair.
Shen Yuanlong pushed a cup of tea to the white-haired woman and slowly said,
“Sister, I’ve already done as you said just now.”
After a pause, a trace of seriousness appeared on Shen Yuanlong’s face.
He continued, “Did you see something? Actually, you don’t have to do this. You’ve sacrificed enough over the years. I’m worried that if you continue like this, your lifespan will probably…”
Shen Yuanlong did not say the rest.
The white-haired woman smiled and said, “It’s fine, Brother. Even if I stop calculating, I’m afraid I won’t have much time left.”
Shen Yuanlong’s expression darkened.
The white-haired woman continued, “I indeed saw something, which is why I specially rushed over from the Ganyang Sect to confirm my guess.
From the looks of it, what I saw should not be wrong. The hope of our Shen family’s rise in the future is very likely to fall on the two of them.
However, I still have to see them personally to know the details.”
It turned out that the white-haired woman sitting opposite Shen Yuanlong was none other than his sister, Shen Mengxue.
Currently, she was a Violet Palace Realm elder of the Ganyang Sect and the Dao companion of a Golden Core Grand Elder.
When Shen Yuanlong heard Shen Mengxue’s words, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything I need to do from now on?”
Shen Mengxue shook her head.
“You don’t have to specially do anything. You just have to help them when help is needed.
Other than that, you can create more opportunities for them to be together in the future. When the time is right, you can…”
Before she could finish, the two of them suddenly turned to look at the distant sky.
There, three streaks of light were quickly flying over.
When they approached, Shen Yuanlong immediately raised his hand and deactivated the protective array.
Soon, the three streaks of light appeared in front of Shen Yuanlong and Shen Mengxue.
They were Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Shen Daoming.
“You’re here.”
Seeing the three of them, a faint smile appeared on Shen Yuanlong’s face.
Jiang Chengxuan looked normal, but on the other side, a look of astonishment appeared on Shen Ruyan and Shen Daoming’s faces.
The two of them immediately bowed to Shen Yuanlong and Shen Mengxue.
“Greetings, Ancestors!”
“Wait, what?”
Hearing the Shen siblings’ words, Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback.
Two ancestors?
He subconsciously turned to look at the white-haired woman and saw that her beautiful eyes were also on him at this moment. She suddenly smiled at him.
“You should be Jiang Chengxuan, right?
This is the first time we’ve met. Take this bottle of Earth Essence Pills as a gift from me.”
With that, Shen Mengxue handed a bottle of pills to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan was dumbfounded.
What was going on? Previously, Shen Yuanlong gave him a high-grade Level 2 flying sword, and now, this ancestor of the Shen family in the Ganyang Sect actually gave him a gift.
That’s right.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan had already recognized the identity of white-haired woman in front of him.
But why did she give him a bottle of Earth Essence Pills?
Although this Earth Essence Pill was not a particularly precious pill, it was a pill specially used by early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to accumulate True Essence.
This bottle of six pills should cost at least 3,000 to 4,000 spirit stones.
Even Shen Ruyan and Shen Daoming were a little puzzled.
They did not understand why their two ancestors treated Jiang Chengxuan specially well.
However, what puzzled them even more was that after Shen Mengxue handed over the bottle of Earth Essence Pills, she smiled at the three of them and said,
“Alright, there is nothing else. You can leave.”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but look at each other and see confusion in each other’s eyes.
They really did not understand what their ancestors meant.
However, since their ancestor had said so, they naturally would not stay any longer.
After bowing to the two of them, Jiang Chengxuan and the other two flew away from Huawu Peak.
Looking at the three of them leave, Shen Yuanlong couldn’t help but turn to look at Shen Mengxue and ask, “Is your guess confirmed?”
Shen Mengxue smiled and nodded. “That should be the case. When the time is right, try to make them Dao companions…”
At this point, Shen Mengxue suddenly let out a groan.
Immediately after, dark red blood flowed out of her nose and quickly dyed the table red.
Shen Yuanlong was shocked.
He quickly went forward to support Shen Mengxue and asked anxiously,
“Sister, are you alright? I’ll send you back to the Ganyang Sect now.”
However, Shen Mengxue waved her hand and smiled.
“This is the backlash of peeping at heavenly secrets.
I know my situation very well. I won’t die for the time being.
However, this basically proves that my previous guess was not wrong. The future of the Shen Immortal family is probably really in the hands of the two of them.”
As she spoke, she took out a bright red pill from her body and swallowed it.
After swallowing the bright red pill, her originally pale face immediately turned rosy, and she seemed to have recovered a lot.
However, only Shen Yuanlong knew that his sister’s lifespan was probably really running out.
At the same time.
After Jiang Chengxuan and the other two left Huawu Peak, they left the Shen Immortal family’s base, Splendid Jade Mountain.
On the way.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan turned to look at Shen Daoming.
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but ask, “Family head, the two ancestors just now, what exactly…?”
Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but interrupt. “That’s right, Brother. What exactly do the two ancestors mean?”
However, Shen Daoming smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I don’t know either, even if you ask me. How can I know what the ancestors are thinking?”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan and thought for a moment before saying,
“Elder Jiang, you don’t have to feel pressured. Since Ancestors have shown special goodwill to you, you might as well accept it.
Don’t worry, with my understanding of the two ancestors, they definitely mean no harm.”
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at a fork in the road.
Shen Daoming said, “All right, let’s part ways here. If anything happens, remember to send back a signal immediately.”
With that, Shen Daoming cupped his hands at Jiang Chengxuan and nodded at Shen Ruyan. His figure turned into a beam of light and headed north.
