C438 Enter the merchant house

Someone was trying to pass the trial?

He actually passed the Mountain Protection Formation?

The two people guarding the only path that led to the merchant house looked at each other with a cold gaze. One of them walked towards the direction that Xuanyuan Chen and the others were heading to.

When Shang Zhiqing stepped out of the array, the three people behind him also stepped out.

The moment he opened his eyes, large patches of light rushed into his eyes.

The fog in the valley had mostly dissipated under the influence of the sun, and when they turned around to look, the path they had taken was very clear.

Were they coming out?

A gust of wind blew towards Xie Qingrong and the others. Xie Qingrong's eyes darkened, her right hand quickly touched her waist, and grasped the violet-gold whip tightly in her palm, blocking the guard's long sword.

He twisted the guard's sword and fiercely swung it. Because of the effort, the sword in the guard's hand was broken.

The guard watched as his own sword was flung far away, his figure flashed, quickly grabbing his own sword in the air, and fiercely slashed in Xie Qingrong's direction.

Just as Xie Qingrong was about to respond, she heard Shang Zhiqing's calm voice, and the sword also abruptly retracted its imposing manner, and fiercely slashed to the side, cutting apart the green bamboo that was growing stronger.

"Guard One, stop."

The guard kept his sword and half-knelt on the ground. He bowed his head, clasped his hands, and respectfully said: "Greetings, Holy Maiden."

Shang Zhiqing stood with her hands behind his back. The cool breeze continued to blow her hair, causing it to dance in the air. Her gaze swept past the kneeling guard and coldly said: "Stand up."

Shen Haoxuan glanced at the Shang Zhiqing who was emitting an ice-cold aura and an indifferent aura.

From the moment he walked out of the great formation, Shang Zhiqing seemed to have become a completely different person. It was as if the sweet and gentle past did not exist, and his heart was filled with ten portions of bitterness.

However, under Shen Haoxuan's unreadable gaze, Shang Zhiqing's eyes also faintly floated across Shen Haoxuan's body.

She looked at Shen Haoxuan's frown and his slightly uneasy eyes, and felt her heart aching. But she had no choice, in the eyes of all the merchants, the Holy Maiden was that kind of existence.

He was far above everyone else, far above everyone else.

"We welcome the return of the Holy Maiden." However, he still held his sword in front of him. The Holy Maiden could enter the Shang clan, but these outsiders were definitely not allowed to enter the clan.

The state laws, the family rules.

Shang Zhiqing had guessed that something like this would happen, that was why she decided to rush into the Great Mountain Protection Array. The people who passed through the Great Mountain Protection Array would definitely alarm the Elders Guild, and the chances of him bringing Xie Qingrong and the rest into the Shang Clan would be much higher.

Just as they were thinking this, an ancient voice came from the space in front of them. It was as if it had experienced the baptism of wind and rain. It carried the tone of having experienced many vicissitudes of life, yet it had a unique feeling of time settling in.

"Who broke through the protective magical formation?" The guard silently followed behind Shang Changling. Normally, when people intruded into the Shang clan's territory, they would be settled by Shang Changling.

Xie Qingrong squinted, her long and thick eyelashes covering the meaningful look that flashed past her eyes, she did not believe that Shang Changling did not know that he had passed through the Great Mountain Protection Formation.

But he still asked, apparently intending to let them in.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stood out from behind Xuanyuan Chen.

When Xie Qingrong's entire body was exposed under Shang Changling's eyelids, she sighed lightly in her heart. This child really looked like her mother.

Shang Zhiqing and Shang Huaiyue were indeed extremely similar, but the woman in front of him seemed like she was 90% of a person, simply carved out of the same mold.

"According to the Shang family's rules, anyone who breaks through the formation of the Shang family is an esteemed guest of the Shang family. "Esteemed customer, please come in." Shang Changling smiled slightly, and made a respectful gesture of invitation.

When Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan and the other two had already entered the inner sect, when Shang Zhiqing walked past him, she and Shang Changling looked at each other.

As for Xie Qingrong who was walking at the very front, she seemed to know everything that was happening behind him, and her mouth revealed a meaningful smile.

It seemed that this merchant had some interest. Since there was such a rule in the family rules, why was it that the merchant had never been born?

The few of them followed Shang Changling. As Shang Changling led the way, he introduced the scenery along the way, as if every object was a legend with a story behind them.

Compared to the other three being serious, Shang Zhiqing appeared somewhat perfunctory and restless. In her mind, she kept replaying the look she gave Shang Changling just now.

The profound meaning in the depths of Shang Changling's eyes and the faint rage that was burning in her heart continuously stirred the uneasy feeling in the bottom of her heart.

After bringing the three into the guest room, Shang Changling smiled and said, "The three of you will stay here for the time being. Let everything be simple, I hope the three esteemed guests do not mind. As for the Holy Maiden, you should return from your training to meet your mother and then come over to the Elders Guild. "

Hearing Shang Changling talk about Shang Zhiqing's mother, Xie Qingrong's pupils contracted slightly. However, she lowered her head and hid behind Xuanyuan Chen, so no one could see her expression.

Shang Zhiqing nodded, and left first. Before leaving, she pursed her lips to take a look at Xie Qingrong, and something seemed to jump out of her eyes to tell Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong secretly remembered Shang Zhiqing's performance in her heart.

After Shang Zhiqing left, Shang Changling also left.

Shen Haoxuan sat on the chair obediently, looking at the top-quality set of porcelain white teapot on the side.

As a merchant with a sharp eye, he was able to tell with a glance that this tea set originated from an official kiln. Moreover, the method of burning this kind of tea set had been lost for a long time.

A thought appeared in his mind, but was quickly tossed out of his mind.

After all, this was a mysterious family with a great inheritance. It was normal for them to possess some good things that outsiders did not have.

Xie Qingrong rubbed her forehead, she had a lot of questions, but in the Shang Clan, this was not a good place to talk. Furthermore, she felt that someone was watching them, and the feeling of being watched made her uncomfortable, but she could not find the source of the surveillance.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have noticed Xie Qingrong's tiredness and uneasiness. He walked forward and held both of Xie Qingrong's hands, and his fingers began to move in Xie Qingrong's palms.

Xie Qingrong immediately clenched her fists, and her eyes became focused.

When Shen Haoxuan saw that the atmosphere between Xuanyuan Chen and Yue Yang was a little strange, he hesitated for a moment. However, in the end, he suppressed it.

Waving the tasseled fan, she laughed indifferently: "Today, walking in the valley has exhausted both your body and mind. Young Master and Madam must also rest well, I will return to my room to rest first. "

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen indifferently replied as he slightly pursed his lips, further confirming the suspicions in his heart.
