Chapter 272: Chapter 272 - Family Heirloom (2)

The photo taken by Shen Qian was quite high-definition, so he could get a clear look of the patterns on the circular ring.

Su Jingxing looked at these patterns one by one and pieced them together in his mind. He found them to be very magical. It was like an incantation or a mental cultivation technique.

From this, it could be seen that the Shen Family’s circular ring was no ordinary item.

The family heirloom was indeed a treasure.

As for what kind of treasure it was, it was unclear. He had to see the real thing to judge.

“This uncle from the capital wants me to hand over the circular ring.”

Shen Qian continued, “But it has long disappeared. I don’t even know where it is. How can I give it to him? Even if he is willing to give me 100 million dollars, I don’t have the circular ring.

“I told him the truth. He didn’t believe me. Of course, at the beginning, he didn’t really force me. He just wanted me to think about it carefully. If 100 million isn’t enough, he could give me 300 million dollars.

“The next day, he came to me again. He asked me for the circular ring and raised the price to one billion dollars. I wanted to give it to him, but I didn’t know where it was and couldn’t give it to him.

“This time, he got angry. He scolded me for not knowing what was good for me and threatened that I was courting death. But in the end, he said that he would give me another chance.

“On the third day, I still didn’t give him the circular ring. He finally took action and released a bangle to wrap around my neck…”

“Wait,” interrupted Su Jingxing. “You said that your uncle from the capital also has a circular ring in his possession?”

“Yes!”

Shen Qian gritted her teeth and said, “He also has one in his possession. It’s exactly the same as the one I once had!

“At that time, I thought that he had gotten the circular ring I lost.

“But the truth was he hadn’t. It was another one. The ancestors of the Shen Family had passed down a total of two circular rings. One was left in the capital, and the other was brought to Qinghe City by my grandfather.

“I gave the one in Qinghe City to my younger brother. It was lost because of the Shi Family.

“The one in the capital, however, has been preserved until today and has fallen into the hands of that uncle. He came to me because he wanted to gather both of them. According to him, the two circular rings can fuse into one to give powerful strength, the kind that can kill even martial artists in the top ranks.

“He wrapped the ring around my neck until I stopped breathing and passed out. When I woke up, he left a message saying that he doesn’t see the circular ring the next time we meet, he won’t show any mercy. He would take my life.

“‘”‘I can feel that he’s not lying. If I still can’t produce the circular ring tomorrow morning, he will really kill me!”

At the end of her sentence, Shen Qian’s voice trembled and her body shuddered.

The blood drained from her face as fear filled her eyes.

Clearly, she had not forgotten the feeling of suffocation and passing out.

She didn’t want to experience that feeling again.

“I… I thought about escaping.”

Shen Qian said in a trembling voice, “But he left a hidden fragrance on me. No matter where I hide, he can find me.

“I… I don’t want to die, so… so I contacted you to make a deal.”

“Kill your uncle?” Su Jingxing continued. “That’s right!” Shen Qian took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, “Since he wants my life, why can’t I take his? Although I’m not his match, I believe that you can do it!

“As long as you help me kill him, the circular ring in his possession will be yours. I will also search for the lost one. Once I find it, I will also hand it to you.”

“Heh…” Su Jingxing chuckled but did not agree immediately.

Seeing this, Shen Qian gritted her teeth and said, “Other than the ring, it also in… includes me! As long as you kill him, I’m willing… willing to serve Senior from now on and be your love…”

“Enough,” Su Jingxing cut her off irritably. “If I wanted to sleep with you, do you think you can escape?”

Shen Qian lowered her head, her face flushed red. She did not dare to speak again.

That’s right, if Su Jingxing wanted to sleep with her, Shen Qian alone would not be able to resist.

Of course, if Su Jingxing really wanted that, Shen Qian would not be against it.

It wasn’t that she was lecherous or liked Su Jingxing because he was handsome.

It was purely because Su Jingxing was powerful enough and not too old. Judging from his voice, he was probably in his thirties or forties.

Sleeping with such an expert for a night wouldn’t be a loss for her. If she could build a relationship with him because of this, she would have a backer in the future.

To Shen Qian, she was the only one left after her family was destroyed. What she lacked the most was a sense of security.

After the Stone Annihilation Alliance was disbanded, she took the lead and reorganized a group of people. They were willing to work for Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing had always traded with them. Every time they completed a mission, he would give them a large sum of money. But deep down, Shen Qian had always wanted to serve Su Jingxing for free and receive his protection.

For an ordinary person, this was a huge opportunity.

If she could improve her relationship with Su Jingxing, Shen Qian would not be against it.

Now that he said it, she was even a little happy.

She became even more embarrassed.

Although he did not say anything else, the atmosphere became inexplicably ambiguous.

Su Jingxing was speechless.

“You’re not my type.”

Su Jingxing reminded irritably, shaking his head. “So, please don’t think too much.”

IIII

If she didn’t know how powerful Su Jingxing was, she would have flown into a rage.

Are you looking down on me?

Not your type?

Heh heh!

Even though Shen Qian was never narcissistic, she had always maintained her face and figure very well. She was very feminine.

It was possible that Su Jingxing didn’t like her type.

But not wanting to sleep with her, heh heh!

“Cough…”

Su Jingxing coughed lightly. His voice was infused with true energy and shook one’s mind.

Shen Qian, who was letting her imagination run wild, shuddered and sobered up abruptly. Immediately, her face turned even redder.

Su Jingxing couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. “What realm is your uncle in? Does he have any helpers?”

“What… what realm? I don’t know.”

Shen Qian held back her embarrassment and said in a low voice, “I haven’t seen a single helper. Every time he comes to me, he’s alone.”

“In that case… Hmm?”.

Suddenly, Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks. “Is that him?”

“Wh… What?” Shen Qian was puzzled and looked up at Su Jingxing.

She saw Su Jingxing look ahead and lifted her head to look into the distance. She saw a familiar figure standing by the river, staring at her.

Instantly, her face turned pale. “That’s right, it’s him!”

“Why is he here?”

“It’s obvious that he has been following you.” Su Jingxing chuckled. His powerful perception allowed him to sense the other party’s aura from a hundred meters away.

He isn’t in the top ranks!

The aura of true essence was very special. If one did not deliberately disguise or conceal it, it was very easy for people of the same realm to sense it.

Even though Shen Qian’s uncle had also concealed his aura, it was not thorough enough.

Ordinary martial artists might not be able to sense it, but Su Jingxing could.

Fourth-grade!

A fourth-grade expert targeted Shen Qian who was an ordinary person. It’s indeed been hard on her.

“This bastard…” Shen Qian gritted her teeth, her expression becoming extremely ugly.

“What a coincidence.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The uncle, who was of medium build and had a thin and long face, walked over slowly when he saw that Shen Qian had spotted him. “My good niece, you’re very free at night, aren’t you. You came for a walk by the river with a friend. What’s your friend’s name?”

“It has nothing to do with you!” Shen Qian said through gritted teeth, “What do you mean by this? Didn’t I say I’ll give it to you tomorrow morning?”

“Hehe, I was just afraid that you would be in danger, my dear niece.”

The uncle chuckled. “Or perhaps you’ve been cheated. As your uncle, I have to help you out no matter what, right?”

“By the way, I’m Shen Tang. May I know your name?”

He looked at Su Jingxing, his eyes shining.

“Shen Qian said that if I kill you, I’ll get the treasure in your possession.”

Instead of answering, Su Jingxing asked, “What do you think about that?”

Swish!

Shen Qian’s face turned pale. She didn’t expect Su Jingxing to say this directly.

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “No problem!”

Buzz!

The air suddenly vibrated.

A huge translucent palm imprint suddenly appeared out of thin air. It covered Shen Tang and pressed him to the ground, creating a pit.

More than half of his bones were broken, and Shen Tang, who was spurting blood, was sprawled at the bottom of the pit, dumbfounded!
