The Little Girl's Background Is Far from Simple

"Ah?!"

Shen Zhili's expression froze, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at Liu Duanyuan.

Liu Duanyuan simply looked at Shen Zhili meaningfully without saying a word.

The atmosphere became quite awkward for a moment.

Liu Duanyuan then looked at Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi shook his head:

"It seems some people don't trust my disciple's skills."

Beside them, Xiao Ye and Shen Wenxi tried their best to suppress their laughter.

Shen Zhili suddenly fell silent.

Although he couldn't understand it at first, he now clearly felt it.

This so-called renovation and remodeling seems to be just a facade.

This is a real demolition!

You should know that what's displayed in this ancestral hall are artifacts left behind by countless ancestors of the Shen Clan over the years. In fact, it can be said that these artifacts record the past glory of the Shen Clan.

If this place were to be demolished, it would be an immense disgrace and a colossal joke!

However, despite this...

Shen Zhili, however, did not have much to worry about.

Circumstances are not only more powerful than people, but they can also force people to submit.

Given the current situation, is there any room for negotiation?

It's obvious as soon as you think about it.

Since we can't resist, then we can only...

"My esteemed ancestors, I have offended you!"

"It's just that my clan failed to achieve hegemony; you can't blame me for not interfering."

With that thought in mind, Shen Zhili took a deep breath, deactivated the remaining array restrictions one by one, and then tentatively spoke:

"So now... shall we continue?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

All around, the many powerful members of the Shen Clan who had rushed over due to the commotion looked at the damaged ancestral hall in disbelief before turning their gaze to Shen Zhili.

"Continue? Continue what?" someone asked, puzzled.

The next moment, Luo Ling'er entered the Shen Clan ancestral hall again.

A series of thumping and banging sounds followed.

The Shen Clan experts all stared wide-eyed at this scene in disbelief.

"Demolishing the ancestral hall? No way! Are you crazy? How could you do such a thing to such an important place!"

"They even dare to demolish the ancestral hall! Do they intend to dig up all the ancestral graves of my Shen Clan later? Leave some room for maneuver in the future; this is simply too much!"

"You can guard against a thief within your own ranks day and night, but it's hard to guard against one from within. The old clan chief has truly gone mad; he even dared to do something like this!"

"Is that powerful figure from the Liu Clan also here? It seems this was his intention. No wonder. Alas, I never imagined that my Shen Clan would be so easily toyed with."

Opinions differed, but everyone just watched and observed.

Dissatisfaction is one thing, helplessness is another.

However, they could still see the huge Liu Duanyuan displayed in front of them.

At times like these, whoever stands up for themselves will suffer the consequences, so why bother?

At this moment, Liu Duanyuan looked at Lu Changzhi:

"This girl is pretty good with a hammer."

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this:

"Great efforts can produce miracles."

"For his physique and age, his strength is truly remarkable." Liu Duanyuan nodded, gave Lu Changzhi a deep look, and transmitted his voice:

"I've discovered that none of your disciples are simple."

A knowing smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

Those are my own disciples, how could they be simple?

However, it must be said that Liu Duanyuan indeed has a good eye for talent.

"In the future, shall I guide her in her cultivation for a period of time?"

Liu Duanyuan revealed his plans.

Lu Changzhi wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, the praise he received earlier couldn't have been just empty words.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi said:

"I still need to discuss this with her."

"After all, this little girl's background is quite extraordinary; she's just following me now."

"Oh?"

Liu Duanyuan's expression shifted slightly, indicating a hint of surprise:

What's the little girl's background?

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly:

"I promised his parents I couldn't easily reveal it."

After a pause, Lu Changzhi pointed upwards and said mysteriously:

"However, as you should know, there are many parents in this world who could easily ensure their children a carefree life, but choose to make them experience hardship and suffering."

Liu Duanyuan smiled upon hearing this:

"Ultimately, jade that isn't carved will never become a useful object. A privileged background, left unpolished, will be difficult to change once the realization comes to mind."

He naturally understood these things.

Among the Shen Clan's exceptionally talented younger generation, only those who were not given much expectation from the beginning can enjoy the privileged life of the second generation of the wealthy and powerful.

As for those that are worth honing, they are even sent to a particularly weak place as expendable pawns, waiting for them to grow.

"But judging from this, this little girl isn't from the Misty Clear Realm?"

A sense of curiosity arose in Liu Duanyuan's heart.

Looking at Lu Changzhi's expression, the latter seemed quite sincere.

Furthermore, the power that Luo Ling'er displayed was indeed extremely inconsistent with her own condition.

After much thought, I realized that I had indeed never heard of such a thing in the Misty Clear Realm over the years.

Upon realizing this, Liu Duanyuan said:

"In that case, you can discuss it first."

After saying that, Liu Duanyuan suddenly changed the subject:

"I wonder if your parents are also as you described?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled:

"They're just ordinary people. If they weren't, I would have been enjoying a life of leisure long ago. After all, I'm not the kind of person who likes to work hard."

"That's true," Liu Duanyuan agreed.

He could probably sense it from these interactions.

"However, we still need to strive for what we should strive for."

Liu Duanyuan gave a reminder:

"The martial arts techniques I gave you before, even if you put in the effort, might not be effective."

The current situation is already considered to be taking advantage of the Liu Clan's status as a prodigy.

But they only enjoy without giving anything in return.

How could there be such a cheap and good thing in this world?

Liu Duanyuan had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly I felt something clench my fingers.

Liu Duanyuan frowned, instinctively trying to dispel it.

But then he suddenly stopped and abruptly raised his arm.

On the palm of the hand, there was a tiny hand clenching its little finger.

Within this small palm lies a powerful spatial force, operating in a mysterious way. The aura it releases is both familiar and slightly unfamiliar.

Liu Duanyuan carefully examined the tiny palm.

The next moment, without any reason.

"Grass!"

A sudden sound, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhili, who was standing not far away, froze instantly, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Liu Duanyuan with extreme vigilance.

The rest of the Shen Clan's powerful members were also trembling with fear, cautiously glancing at Liu Duanyuan.

For someone of such power to cause such a commotion.

If it's all because of emotions, once they're unleashed, who can handle it?

Xiao Ye and Shen Wenxi were also confused, but their reactions were quite similar; they both moved closer to Lu Changzhi's back.

Only Lu Changzhi, looking bewildered and surprised, blinked at Liu Duanyuan.

Is there a problem?
