Chapter 628 Does your face recognition still count?
"A sudden enlightenment strips me of my shackles! Today I finally know who I am!"
Shen Ciyuan spread his hands, a relieved smile on his face, looking incredibly carefree.
Finally, I shed the shackles in my heart and pushed away the boulder that had been weighing on my heart for twenty years.
Ever since he was kicked out of the Shen family, he has been searching for the meaning of his existence.
He is Shen Ciyuan, so why was he born, given life, and brought into this world?
Later, Shen Tuo, who was now in the position of father, coldly and ruthlessly told him, "You are a failure, not my child."
From then on, Shen Ciyuan was left to fend for himself, living like an orphan in the vast Shen family.
Later, the butler told Zhirong that he should live for himself and live well, even if he was just an ordinary person, even if he had to endure all the hardships and joys of life.
"The problem with your father's family has been resolved, but what about your mother's family?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Shen Ciyuan shook his head slightly. "Back then, my mother was just a woman from a small family. She couldn't possibly compete with the Shen family. I don't blame her. I later heard that she was divorced because she was fighting against Shen Tuo. Fortunately, heaven favors the unfortunate. After she returned to her family, she met someone who loved her very much. She is happy now, and that's enough."
"She needs to have her own life too."
"Everyone has their own life, so we should live it well." Shen Ciyuan looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, his mind broad and his ethereal temperament emanating from him.
Ye Nanxiao had been listening quietly to Shen Ciyuan's story, but when he sensed the ethereal and otherworldly aura that suddenly appeared on Shen Ciyuan, he panicked.
"Holy crap! This guy isn't thinking of becoming a monk, is he?!" Ye Nanxiao stared blankly at the wine bottle.
He had learned that those who were disillusioned with the world or who sought nothing more ultimately ended up becoming monks and studying the Way.
"Luo Xinyao! Old classmate! Your husband is going to become a monk!" Ye Nanxiao, slightly drunk, turned and ran.
He was afraid that Luo Xinyao would hold him responsible for this.
I, the fox, haven't lived enough yet!
Shen Ciyuan, who was lost in thought under the moonlight, suddenly broke down. A crossroads appeared on his forehead. He lunged forward and pressed down on Ye Nanxiao.
"You just want your brother to suffer, don't you! You want to offer incense to your brother, huh?"
Shen Ciyuan gripped Ye Nanxiao's neck tightly and pressed down on him.
Hearing the commotion and rushing over, Luo Xinyao saw the scene before her and her fists instantly hardened.
"So their relationship was that good?" Luo Xinyao asked softly.
Hearing the commotion, he rushed over immediately, but realizing something was wrong, he could only squat to the side, still gnawing on a chicken leg: "..."
"They really are very close, so close they could share a pair of pants." Old Master Xuan recalled Ye Nanxiao's words describing a very good relationship and said it aloud.
"The same pair of pants?!" Luo Xinyao's long hair at the back of her head suddenly seemed to be pulled upwards by some force.
The two, caught in the chaos and struggle, suddenly sensed a terrifying surge of soul power.
Shen Ciyuan recognized this aura of soul power.
His neck felt like rusty steel as he slowly raised his head. "Yao... Yao Yao, what brings you here?"
Ye Nanxiao whimpered and struggled for a moment, which startled Shen Ciyuan, who quickly explained, "No, it's not that! My brother's having another episode! I'm just disciplining him!"
Taking advantage of the moment Shen Ciyuan was explaining, Ye Nanxiao freed his hands and took out two "Silence Beads" from his storage ring.
"The latest model of the silent bead! Functionally upgraded!"
"Snap"
Luo Xinyao caught the silencing bead steadily, and several vines shot out from behind her, instantly binding Shen Ciyuan.
"Damn Ye Nanxiao! What did you give me?!" Shen Ciyuan said through gritted teeth.
"Incense to help it burn." Ye Nanxiao lay on the ground and gave Shen Ciyuan a meaningful smile.
Shen Ciyuan wanted to seize the opportunity to curse a few more times, but his mouth was blocked by vines.
He seemed to hear Luo Xinyao's whispers.
"I refuse to believe it! How could I not be charming? I might as well just go for it and make it a done deal!"
Ye Nanxiao slowly stood up, elegantly straightened his clothes, and then gave a thumbs-up to Shen Ciyuan, who had been captured.
This guy won't have a chance to bother me again tomorrow night, the night after tomorrow, or even the night after that!
"You seem quite happy, kid." Old Master Xuan walked over slowly.
"My good brother has accomplished something major in his life, so of course I'm happy for him." Ye Nanxiao reached out and tidied his disheveled hair.
"I didn't expect that kid Shen Tuo would actually swallow this loss silently this time. That kid is not one to suffer a loss easily." Old Xuan took a bite out of the chicken leg in his hand and put the chicken leg bone into his pocket.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Elder Xuan, then quietly took a few steps away, and said, "Because in Shen Tuo's eyes, Yuanzi has long since lost all connection with him and the Shen family. He is just a stranger, an outsider who happens to be stronger than his sons. As the prime minister, there is no need for him to bother with him."
Those in high positions naturally don't bother to argue with the common people in the countryside.
"Yes, if we take it to heart, we'll lose our dignity and only become a laughing stock." Elder Xuan nodded in agreement.
"Besides, the Shen family's spies must have sent back the news that Princess Vina and Brother Long were also there. He wouldn't risk offending the academy and the royal family to harm Yuanzi." Ye Nanxiao spread his hands with a helpless expression. The way politicians think is just troublesome.
"So we're going to be your backer, so you'd better make sure your compensation is right, otherwise my husband's reputation won't be ruined for nothing!"
Vina appeared in Ye Nanxiao's line of sight, arm in arm with Long Aotian, a small piece of pastry in her free hand.
"Does what you said about the discount for facial recognition still count?" Long Aotian asked, staring at Ye Nanxiao.
"Of course, lying is no good for us. What's the point of lying?" Ye Nanxiao picked up the wine bottle in his hand, conjured an ice glass out of thin air, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Long Aotian.
A hint of surprise flashed in Long Aotian's eyes, and then he reached out and took the wine glass.
The moment he touched the wine glass, the surprise in Long Aotian's eyes deepened.
"What about mine?" Vina looked expectantly at the wine bottle in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
Before Ye Nanxiao could reply, Long Aotian grabbed Vina's curious little hand and said, "You can't drink alcohol yet, we'll talk about it later."
"I'm an adult!" Vina immediately clung to Long Aotian like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Just one cup! Please!"
The latest novel is first published here!
"If one cup isn't enough, then one sip will do!"
No matter how much Vina pleaded and threatened him with her sweet voice, Long Aotian remained unmoved, because he knew all too well how much Vina could drink.
"Princess Vina, these drinks are a bit too strong and not good for a girl's throat and skin. Why don't you try my fruit-flavored drink instead?" Ye Nanxiao conjured up a palm-sized metal can of beverage.
"Okay!" Vina immediately took it, hugged it tightly to her chest, and looked at Long Aotian cautiously.
"Let's get back to our previous topic. I want to purchase soul tools from the Tang Sect," Long Aotian said.
"You kid made this decision, do you think that old geezer would agree to it if he didn't poison him to death?" Elder Xuan, who had been silently listening, couldn't help but ask.
Poison Undying, that old bastard, really hates soul tools. How could Long Aotian, the next quasi-sect master of the Body Sect, actually want to introduce soul tools?
"Yes, but a 30% deposit is required beforehand. That's the same everywhere," Ye Nanxiao nodded and smiled.
"Master will agree," Long Aotian said, recalling Du Busi's reaction earlier.
"Tsk, you're still Poison-Undying's disciple, how could you not know that old man's temper? Who knows, that old codger might think I misled you, and then come looking for me to fight." Elder Xuan shook his head and said.
Isn't the core principle of the Body Sect to only believe in their physical martial spirit?
Soul guides are external forces; if they can't be poisoned to death, wouldn't eight hundred people disagree?
"Now that Aotian's finished, it's my turn! I also want to represent the royal family to order soul tools from the Tang Sect—the kind that don't require a soul master to operate," Vina said. Then, as if she'd just remembered something, she peeked out and asked, "Can I use my face too?"
Ye Nanxiao seemed surprised that Vina would ask this question, and he pretended to be thinking about it very seriously.
"Isn't Brother Long your husband? Why don't you just buy it and let him use his connections to pay for it?"
"Waaah! But I want this VIP service too!" Vina said, rubbing her smiling face. "Look, I'm a princess! I can help you promote your Tang Sect's soul tools for free!"
"How about that? The princess of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family is personally promoting it for you!"
Ye Nanxiao fell silent for a moment. The title of royalty was still quite useful to some extent, but Vina was referring to her own reputation. This person's reputation, well, might not even be as high as Mu Xue's.
"Elder Xuan, get to work." Ye Nanxiao nudged Elder Xuan with his elbow and gave him a look.
Elder Xuan was stunned, the wine pot hovering in mid-air.
He instantly recalled what Princess Vina had just said, and then, after receiving a signal from Ye Nanxiao's eyes, his intuition told him that what Ye Nanxiao, this fox, had said was not good news.
"What did you say? I don't understand!" Elder Xuan turned around, his back to Ye Nanxiao.
"Fifty jars of fine wine, like the moon in the sky!" Ye Nanxiao sneered. You think you can't be bribed?
Elder Xuan paused for a moment, then suddenly shook his head, his previously messy hair now flowing gracefully.
"Tang Sect Soul Tools, leaders of the times, everyone who has used them raves about them! Don't hesitate, take action now!" Elder Xuan said loudly.
Long Aotian and Vina's eyes widened immediately.
What did they see? The Gluttonous Douluo, who once dominated the continent, was helping the Tang Sect get defeated?
"The Tang Sect Soul Tools, guaranteed by the reputation of the Gluttonous Douluo, are now available with discounts for bulk orders, dear!" Ye Nanxiao smiled broadly, his shoulders trembling and his breathing unsteady as he suppressed a laugh.
Old Xuan casually scratched his head, a chicken bone dangling from his mouth. "Fifty jars! If you're short even one jar, I'll hang you in Shrek Square!"
After saying that, Elder Xuan turned around and gracefully slipped away using the Shrinking Earth technique.
I only recited a script in front of two younger people, not in front of those old guys. So, I've made a clean profit of fifty jars of good wine!
This was a great deal!
