After the meal.
Shang Yan did not wait for Qin Yiyi and the other two to say anything. She quickly cleaned up the dishes, cleaned up the place, and ran away.
Qin Yiyi glanced at the little girl who ran away and shook her head.
“Look, you scared her.”
“It wasn’t me.”
Shang Jingheng was not going to take the blame. He did not even look at the little girl!
“Ah, I forgot.”
Qin Yiyi’s words caused Shang Jingheng to raise his head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I originally prepared a gift for Shang Yan, but I forgot to give it to her just now.”
Qin Yiyi smacked her forehead, feeling somewhat vexed.
“Why did I forget about this matter?”
Shang Jingheng did not mind. “Forget it then. I’ll give it to her tomorrow.”
“Oh right, what do you think of this little girl, Shang Yan?”
Shang Yan?
Shang Jingheng looked at Qin Yiyi and was a little curious.
“What do you want to do?”
Could it be that she really liked this girl, Shang Yan, so much that she wanted to take her out?
Although it was a little troublesome for people in the ancient martial arts world to want to live outside, Shang Yan had always kept a low profile in the Shang family, and she did not have any talent in martial arts.
If the little girl really wanted to, it wasn’t that she couldn’t do it...
“I think that girl’s performance and imitation skills are quite good, and her personality isn’t crooked. If she wants to, I can take her out and let her break through on her own...” Qin Yiyi tilted her head and smiled, blinking. Her face was full of cunning and mischievous. “What do you think?”
Shang Jingheng didn’t think at all.
He had too many companies under his name, and there were different types of companies all over the world.
If he really wanted to bring people out, then he could do so.
He could just throw them into any company and let them fend for themselves.
“Then I’ll ask her tomorrow.”
Although Qin Yiyi said this, she felt that Shang Yan would probably agree.
The two of them spoke for a while more.
Ding Yi’s voice sounded from outside. “Sir, the family head and a few elders would like to invite you over.”
Qin Yiyi glanced at him, “You should hurry over and take a look.”
They should be looking for him to ask about the Yang family, right?
She paused for a moment and threw a ring to Shang Jingheng.
“Give this to them.”
Shang Jingheng frowned, “No need, you can keep it for yourself.”
This was an interspatial ring.
He had personally placed the item inside the Yang family’s warehouse previously.
They were priceless!
But now, this girl had thrown them at him without batting an eye.
Shang Jingheng lowered his eyes, “Yiyi, there’s really no need. They...”
He wanted to say that he would not be at a disadvantage against them.
Furthermore, Shang Changfeng and the others knew his identity and would not have any other thoughts.
After all, he held the financial lifeline of the entire Shang clan in his hands!
Moreover, he also had his own hidden hand.
Shang Changfeng and the few elders were well aware of this.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, they did not want the Shang clan to be greatly weakened and then be taken over completely by the other aristocratic families.
None of them dared to have any designs on him.
“But, I want you to relax a little.”
Qin Yiyi’s eyes were bright and her teeth were white. She smiled faintly, “These things are also placed here. Moreover, you can propose conditions to Shang Changfeng.”
“Can’t we just exchange resources?”
Qin Yiyi’s words caused a smile to appear in Shang Jingheng’s eyes.
He nodded, “Alright, let’s listen to them, Yiyi.”
He turned around and walked out. Shang Jingheng felt as if something in his heart had changed.
In the past, he had used blood to create a reputation and used violence to counter violence.
Everyone seemed to respect him and called him Ninth Master, but in their hearts, they were all afraid of him.
They even wished that he would die early.
He walked the world alone, dragging his sick body with him, day after day.
He naturally felt that living was boring.
It really did not make a difference to him whether he left earlier or later!
But at that moment, he was glad that he had persevered time and time again and endured it.
Otherwise, how could he have met this little girl?!
He thought that the heavens must have opened their eyes. They must have seen his suffering in the first half of his life, and that was why they had sent this little lucky god and happy fruit to his side!
Shang Changfeng and the few elders sat in the meeting hall and waited for him.
When they saw Shang Jingheng enter, Shang Changfeng, the first elder, and the others did not say anything.
Only the second elder snorted coldly.
“Those who don’t know would think that we are waiting for the family head. Even the family head would not ignore us elders like this, right?”
Shang Jingheng did not even lift his eyelids and pretended not to hear.
This made the second elder so angry that his face turned red.
He slapped the table unwillingly, “Shang Ninth, what do you mean? Let me ask you, the person beside you beat up the young master of the Yang family. Also, the woman you brought back provoked the young master of the Yang family in the outside world, but when she turned back, she felt wronged. What, who does she think she is?”
“Go and tell her now, this is the ancient martial arts world, not the secular world.”
“It’s not up to her to say anything.”
After a pause, the second elder sat back down angrily, “Go back and tell her to immediately go to the Yang family and apologize to the young master of the Yang family. If the young master of the Yang family doesn’t forgive her, then she will stay by the young master of the Yang family’s side and wait on him for the rest of her life.” The person beside him was only a woman.
The second elder did not think too much about it.
He really thought that way. It was just a woman.
One had to know that the ancient martial arts world followed the ancient etiquette. Although it was not to the extent where men were completely superior to women...
The status of a woman was lower than that of a man.
This also led to the situation of Shang Yan and other girls from the Shang family. Unless their family members were favored or it was because of their own ability...
They might as well be an ordinary person outside on this day!
Bang!
Plop!
The chair under Second Elder, who was supposed to be sitting on the chair, suddenly split apart for no reason.
Second Elder sat on thin air.
In addition, he didn’t pay attention to this at first, so he directly fell to the ground.
Coincidentally, a sharp corner of the broken leg of the chair poked his calf.
Immediately, there was blood.
“Second Elder!”
“Second Elder, are you alright?”
Shang Changfeng raised his head to look at the roof. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
This fellow’s skills were indeed getting better and better!
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Second Elder who was being helped up with a serious expression, “Second Elder must have been too busy recently. How about this? The two of you send second elder back to his own courtyard first. During this period of time, Second Elder will rest at home. I will keep an eye on these matters at home with the other elders.”
“Second Elder must rest well and strive to shine for the clan as soon as possible.”
One had to say that Shang Changfeng’s words were very nutritious.
Even though they were just drawing a big cake on the spot.
After coaxing the ashen-faced Second Elder away, Shang Changfeng turned his head and glared at Shang Jingheng.
He was an elder after all.
Why did you argue with him?!
Shang Jingheng nonchalantly raised his eyelids.?The ostrich is you, not me!
Fine, fine, you’re impressive, but I’m just a coward.
Ah Pei, he doesn’t want to be that thing!
Shang Changfeng glared at Shang Jingheng. It was all this kid’s fault for leading his train of thought astray.
Lowering his head to drink a mouthful of tea, he looked at Shang Jingheng, “The Shang clan cleared out 308 people, of which more than a hundred were spies. The rest were relatives. After I obtained their consent, I gave them a severance payment so that they could find another way to survive..” Of course, there were also those who stayed. Putting these things aside, what Shang Changfeng was worried about now was: “Did you really attack the Yang Clan?”
