Chapter 87: Please Wait a Moment

After Shen Xiaoqi's parents left, Lu Fang returned to the hall and lowered his voice, "Senior, if the Shen family really has internal strife, can you stop it?"

The Semi-Sage hiding in the dark transmitted to Lu Fang: "This old man is only ordered to protect your personal safety. I will not intervene in the Shen family's affairs."

Lu Fang frowned. If this Semi-Sage took action, there would be many things he could do, but the other party's tone was very firm.

If he really let the Shen family have internal strife, his trip would be in vain.

This made him somewhat unwilling!

Shen Xiaoqi saw Lu Fang's appearance and guessed something. She hurriedly said:

"Senior, if you can alleviate the poison our Ancestor was struck with, our Shen family will definitely treat you as a retainer."

After waiting for a while, Shen Xiaoqi looked at Lu Fang: "Marquis of Wenguan, did the Senior say any conditions?"

Lu Fang shook his head. The Semi-Sage in the dark didn't say a word at all. Either he was powerless, or he didn't want to intervene in the Shen family's affairs.

In his opinion, the former was more likely. Didn't the Confucian Semi-Sage Wang Luo try it, and he couldn't even break the Small Bell barrier.

Shen Xiaoqi's eyes dimmed, she sighed heavily, paced back and forth in the hall, looking burdened with worries.

About an hour later.

"Eldest Master, you are here."

The guard bowed respectfully.

Outside the hall, Shen Qicheng walked over with many subordinates. His face was a bit haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"You guard here."

Shen Qicheng walked into the hall alone, walked toward Shen Kangbo, and said in a somewhat tired voice, "Father, the son is unfilial and failed to find an antidote to save you."

"Big Uncle, I heard that you and Second Uncle are gathering subordinates to the Shen family mountain. Could it be that when the Ancestor is hanging by a thread, you want to fight internally?"

Shen Xiaoqi questioned.

Shen Qicheng sighed and said in a deep voice, "What do you know at such a young age! If I don't gather people immediately, the Shen family will be controlled by your Second Uncle."

"Your grandfather is also foolish. How could he let him manage the intelligence organization? Do you know how strong this intelligence organization is?"

"It's also my fault. I shouldn't have been deceived by his schemes back then, thinking he took the initiative to tell the secret of his background, and your grandfather entrusted him with heavy responsibilities and chose to believe him, which made his power in the Shen family grow stronger and stronger."

Shen Xiaoqi wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Shen Qicheng, "Dealing with such a person with wolfish ambitions, womanly benevolence will only ruin big things."

After speaking, Shen Qicheng flicked his sleeves and left.

"Big Uncle!"

Shen Xiaoqi wanted to persuade him, but Shen Qicheng had already taken people away.

Lu Fang did not say a word from beginning to end. As an outsider, he really couldn't intervene in the Shen family's affairs.

However, he had a question.

If the person who poisoned him was not Shen Qicheng, could it really be Shen Qiheng? Poisoning the food, wanting to poison the three of them, and also Shen Qicheng's wife.

If Shen Qiheng did this, it would be too obvious, right?

What is the difference between this and telling everyone in the Shen family, I am the one who poisoned the Shen family Ancestor, and I, an outsider, want to seize the Shen family?

On this day.

Lu Fang heard more and more friction between the two forces in the villa, and conflicts broke out almost every hour. Even the guards outside the hall left while cursing.

Except for this place, the situation in all parts of the villa was extremely tense.

Shen Xiaoqi was extremely anxious, but she couldn't even get out of the hall. Even if she did, she guessed it wouldn't be of any help to the situation.

Shen Kangbo's condition was even worse. Death energy radiated from his body, his breathing was almost imperceptible, and his figure seemed to have shrunk a whole circle, just like a withered bone.

Night fell.

A tense atmosphere spread in the Shen family villa. Any disturbance would make everyone terrified.

The eve of dawn!

As the sound of weapons clashing pierced the sky, the two forces, whose nerves were stretched to the limit, finally launched a war.

Fortunately, this battle did not last long, and the shouting stopped.

It didn't take long.

Wang Luo brought Shen Qicheng and Shen Qiheng to the hall. The two teams of Shen family private soldiers behind them were all more or less injured.

"You are getting more and more excessive. If I hadn't come this time, were you going to fight to the death?"

Wang Luo's face was flushed with anger.

Seeing this group of people coming aggressively, Lu Fang moved aside to let them come to Shen Kangbo.

Shen Qicheng looked angry, pointed his finger at Shen Qiheng and said:

"You are truly wolfish in ambition, indulging your subordinates to provoke in many ways. I think you want to start internal strife and seize our Shen family's ancestral business."

Shen Qiheng snorted and countered, "It was clearly your subordinates who provoked first, and you bit back. I gathered people back to protect the Shen family. As for you? I don't know why you did it."

Shen Qicheng coughed repeatedly with anger and bowed to Wang Luo:

"Venerable Wang, my father trusts you the most. Among the Semi-Sages who are friendly with the Shen family, only you are allowed to practice on the Shen family mountain. Things have reached this point, please make a ruling!"

Shen Qiheng cupped his hands, "Please Venerable Wang preside over justice."

Wang Luo's face was grave, and he said in a deep voice:

"This old man can understand your feelings, but the more critical the moment, the more you should calm down. Qicheng, your father let you manage the Shen family treasury, you just guard these."

"Qiheng manages the Shen family's intelligence network and also controls most of Wuyincheng's troops, so he should let him stabilize the turmoil in the Shen family."

"Qicheng, you send all your subordinates down the mountain."

Shen Qicheng's face changed greatly, and he looked at Wang Luo in disbelief, "Venerable Wang, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Fang, who was watching from the sidelines, was also slightly surprised. Even if Wang Luo was a retainer of the Shen family, facing the current situation, he shouldn't stand on either side.

But Wang Luo's words just now clearly stood on Shen Qiheng's side.

It was wrong in reason and emotion. Logically speaking, Wang Luo was Shen Kangbo's close friend, while Shen Qiheng was not a member of the Shen family and was very likely the one who poisoned him.

If it were Lu Fang, he would never stand on Shen Qiheng's side.

Wang Luo frowned and said:

"Qicheng, I have already made it very clear just now. You immediately disperse the subordinates you gathered. Let Qiheng do the work of protecting the Shen family's safety."

Shen Qicheng stood there with an ugly face and didn't say a word for a long time. Suddenly he sneered and said:

"I understand! Hahaha... Shen Qiheng, what a brilliant method you have. You poisoned Father because you convinced Venerable Wang to support you. No wonder, everything is explained this way."

"With Venerable Wang here, isn't the Shen family whatever you say?"

"Then what are you acting here for? Wouldn't it be better to just kill me?"

Shen Qiheng shook his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. Venerable Wang stands on my side because he thinks you are doing the wrong thing. If Venerable Wang hadn't found me last night, I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

"Two, please wait a moment."

An abrupt voice sounded.

Everyone frowned and looked at Lu Fang, who was staying on the side. At this time, why was he joining in the fun? ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
