Chapter 234 - The Bounty is Mine
Chapter 234: The Bounty is Mine
On the way here, Shang Jingheng had told Qin Yiyi about the current Shang clan.
The ancient martial arts world was divided into super clans, aristocratic clans, and ordinary clans.
There were only three super clans, including the Shang clan.
Unlike the other two super clans, the Shang clan was very active.
Especially in the past hundred years, it was unknown which ancestor of the Shang clan started it, but it actually extended its hand out into the secular world.
Moreover, it even established the Shang Clan Group, which was secretly dominating a region.
On the surface, the Shang clan only had one clan head, but in the dark, there existed a secret master.
However, not everyone knew who this dark master was.
Only the current clan head and the great elder knew. The rest of the Shang clan, including those from the Council of Elders, would not know who the dark master was.
Shang Jingheng’s identity was that of the previous family head’s direct grandson. He was talented, but due to some problems with his background, he was not tolerated by the entire Shang family.
In the end, it developed into a violent confrontation.
Everyone saw that Shang Jingheng defeated everyone in the end. For the sake of his parents, he cleared the wrongs and successfully rose to the top.
However, they did not know that the identity of the leader was just a cover for him.
In reality, he was the Dark Master of this generation of the Shang clan.
Of course, this was also related to his life that had become a mystery for an unknown period.
Otherwise, he would have been able to fight for the identity of the clan head!
The Dark Master of the Shang clan was also in charge of the law of the Shang clan. Some things that could not be clearly explained would even belong to the dark master!
Now that he saw that he was angry, the clan head, Shang Changfeng, had a headache.
“Well, Jingheng, you didn’t say anything when you came back. You must have worked hard outside. Why are you still in a daze? Let’s go. Let’s go to my courtyard and have a few drinks.”
“Haha, well, why are you arguing with a junior?”
Wasn’t he a junior?
According to seniority, sixth young master Shang had to address Shang Jingheng as ‘uncle’!
At this moment, he covered half of his face and glared at Shang Jingheng with a face full of anger. However, he did not dare to say anything.
One had to know that Shang Jingheng’s reputation had been earned through actual combat in the Shang clan!
Moreover, the Shang clan’s seniority was clear.
Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to offend his superiors!
It was still fine if Shang Jingheng did not hear this, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed. He turned his head and looked at young master Shang Liu indifferently.
“If this is what you have learned from practicing martial arts for so many years, then you might as well not have tried. Ordinary people have good manners, integrity, and morality. As a martial artist, you can fight and kill as you please, but the prerequisite is, do those ancient doctors have any enmity with you? Moreover, if you slap them with this palm, what do you think the consequences will be? In the future, will there still be ancient doctors who will sincerely contribute to the Shang clan?”
“Shang… Ninth Uncle, I was wrong.”
“If you are unconvinced, go back to the disciplinary hall and receive your punishment. Go into seclusion for half a year and reflect on yourself.”
After pausing for a moment, Shang Jingheng added, “You will go after this matter is over.”
Did this mean that he could watch his father recover from his injuries?
Shang sixth young master secretly heaved a sigh of relief, although he still felt somewhat uncomfortable and unconvinced.
But he gritted his teeth and agreed.
“Thank you, Ninth Uncle, for your guidance.”
Shang Jingheng looked at Shang Changfeng, “You have neglected your duty.”
Shang Changfeng,”…”
“If you have something to do, go do it first. I will stay here and take a look at the injuries of the elders.”
Shang Changfeng naturally agreed with Shang Jingheng’s words.
Moreover, only he knew clearly that Shang Jingheng was willing to return this time for the sake of the poisoned elders.
He looked at the three elders who were lying on the bed and frowned.
“Go and invite the ancient doctor again.”
“I have already gone. Other than those who are unwilling to leave the mountain, I have invited many people back and forth, but they are all helpless…”
Shang Changfeng and Shang Jingheng were cousins from the same bloodline.
He did not know much about this cousin’s background. It was only after he became the family head that he found out that Shang Jingheng was actually the dark master of this generation.
But at this time, Shang Jingheng had already used his blood to fight his way out of the Shang family!
He still admired this cousin.
Weren’t the people of the ancient martial arts world the ones who needed this kind of courage?
He looked at Shang Jingheng and smiled bitterly, “Because of you, not only did the Ming family not interact with our family, they even said that the ancient doctors of their branch would not come to our family to see a Doctor…” In the past few years, the number of ancient doctors that the Shang family could befriend or value could be counted on five fingers!
“There is a huge reward. If someone cures a few elders, the Nine Heavens Snow Lingzhi will be given to them!”
Once Shang Jingheng’s words left his mouth, not to mention the people present, even Shang Changfeng was a little surprised.
“Jingheng, that was something that you went through a lot of trouble to obtain…”
Now, he actually offered a reward like this?
“I can’t use it now. No matter how precious the medicinal herbs are, it’s a waste if I can’t use it.”
Why not exchange it for the elders’ recovery?
“There will definitely be brave men attracted by the reward. I’ll get someone to…”
Before Shang Changfeng could finish his words, Qin Yiyi tugged at the corner of Shang Jingheng’s clothes, his face full of eagerness to give it a try.
“Brother Shang, can I try?”
“Yes, but…” The elders were poisoned. He originally didn’t want her to get involved in this mess.
He looked at Qin Yiyi and said softly, “If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself. We can always find someone who can cure the poison.”
Qin Yiyi nodded to indicate that she understood. She took two steps forward and stood beside the bed of the three elders.
She checked their pulse one by one.
In the end, her expression became more and more serious.
Turning her head, Qin Yiyi looked at Shang Jingheng with an indifferent expression. “The poison in their bodies is well controlled. It’s not impossible to completely cure the poison now. It’s just that they lack a main ingredient…”
“Tell me what you need. I’ll get someone to buy it right away.”
The one who was the happiest was naturally Shang Changfeng.
Although these elders supported Shang Jingheng’s lineage and wholeheartedly wanted to have him as the family head.
To make him abdicate in time and give up his position to someone else…
Then, they could push Shang Jingheng onto the stage.
But they had no idea that Shang Jingheng would never care about what they did!
“Dream Epiphyllum.”
Shang Jingheng nodded after hearing this and turned to look at Shang Changfeng.
“Did you hear that?”
Shang Changfeng smiled bitterly, “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements right away.”
In front of this younger cousin, he was just a transparent tool that was ready to be called!
Qin Yiyi was already starting to act.
The silver needles danced back and forth on her fingertips. In the next moment, the three elders’ bodies were already filled with silver needles.
This gave the unwilling Shang sixth young master a fright.
“Dad…”
“Shut up.”
Shang Jingheng swept a cold glance over, “If you want to talk, go out and say it!”
Sixth young master immediately made a gesture of shutting up and zipping his lips.
However, his eyes were fixed firmly on Qin Yiyi.
It was as if he was afraid that any mistake she made would harm his father.
Qin Yiyi found this scene extremely funny, but she couldn’t care less about anything else.
“Brother Shang, you…”
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps suddenly rang out in the courtyard again.
Along with the sound of footsteps came an angry voice.
“Be careful! Hold your breath. The air is poisonous!”
“Who is it? Get out here quietly.”
In the room.
Qin Yiyi’s acupuncture had reached the most critical moment.
