Chapter 157: Compassion and Immortality

Shang Xinci was kind-hearted by nature, but his attack at this moment was extremely powerful, suppressing the entire situation in an instant.

The world of Gu cultivation is like this - the strong are respected.

However, although Shang Xinci imprisoned everyone, he did not punish them. Instead, he once again promised in public that he would pay double the price for compensation.

Although she knew there were people with ulterior motives inside, she did not attack them. Instead, she let them out one by one.

"Shang Xinci actually let these people go!"

"Hmph, a woman's kindness."

"She actually didn't take action. If it were me, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

Shang Yaizhen and others discussed in secret, expressing their disdain to cover up their inner uneasiness.

But Shang Qiu Niu had a complicated look on his face: "Perhaps, this is where Shang Xinci is different from us. It is also the reason why my father values ​​her and makes her the leader of the clan."

"Shang Qiu Niu, what are you talking about?" Someone immediately retorted.

Shang Qiu Niu said calmly: "You have all seen with your own eyes just now that Shang Xinci is so powerful that she absolutely surpasses any of us. She previously served as the patriarch of the clan, and she also controlled the merchants firmly and ran all the businesses smoothly. It’s impressive. Although the slave trade was outlawed, the income of merchants only decreased for a period of time before rising back up, even more than before.”

"We must admit that Shang Xinci's ability is greater than ours. Now her reputation for kindness is more widely spread. It is precisely because of this that my father valued this and passed on the position of patriarch to her. It was not an act of favoritism and doting. ah."

The business prisoner Niu came back to life. The experience of death was his precious wealth, allowing him to look at things more rationally and calmly.

But immediately, Shang Yifan sneered: "Boss Qi Niu, even if what you said is the truth, so what? Whoever ascends to the position of clan leader will be cultivated by the family to become an immortal. This is immortal fate! Even if Shang So what if your kindness, ability, and virtue far exceed ours? Do you want to fight for this fate or not?"

Shang Qiu Niu was silent for a while, then nodded and uttered one word with a solemn expression: "Fight!"

After Shang Xinci let go of the troublesome Gu cultivator, he comforted the sellers in the shop.

An old man came to Shang Xinci tremblingly and expressed his gratitude: "If you hadn't been here today, patriarch, I'm afraid this old man would have suffered. Alas, it's all because of my old eyesight, my sharpness and my lack of intelligence. I listened to the rumors and got into a group of people." Low-priced goods. I didn’t expect these goods to be fake.”

Xiaodie curled her lips: "You are an old man, you have been in Discussing Mountain for several years, and your days of running a store are not short. Why are you still so short-sighted?"

The old man looked ashamed.

"Xiaodie." Shang Xinci expressed understanding instead, "It's not easy for Gu cultivators living here. If it were me, running this business, I would naturally want to make more money. This is human nature. "

Xiaodie looked at the old man angrily: "Old guy, you're lucky to have met our lady. From now on, you have to be bright-eyed and don't be greedy for petty gains, do you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it." The old man replied hurriedly.

"Miss, let's go. These people make you angry. If they weren't greedy for cheap, how could they flood the market with fakes?" Xiaodie turned around and looked at Shang Xinci.

But the old man suddenly said: "Please, Mr. Patriarch, take a step slowly."

Shang Xinci asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The old man sighed and said: "I am ashamed, I am really ashamed! I have bought such a large number of fakes, and I will definitely not be able to sell them in the future. But if I destroy them directly, I will lose all my money! Mr. Patriarch, you were not just now Did you promise that you would compensate me?"

"What?!" Xiaodie was furious after hearing this. She pointed at the old man's nose and shouted, "You old man, you are so shameless. You made a mistake and were protected by the head of my family, but you don't know. You are so grateful, but you still want to blackmail us?"

Xiaolan on the side also looked down upon such behavior and echoed: "You are so old.

But what he did was too unethical. All losses must be borne by our merchants? There is no such truth in this world, right? "

But Shang Xinci stopped the two maids from criticizing. She looked at the old man in front of her, and then at the group of sellers behind the old man.

Shang Xinci's gentle tone was the same as before: "It's a good reminder, old man. Since I, Shang Xinci, am the head of the Shang family, and since I have made a public promise, I will definitely not go back on it. Since I promised double compensation, I will do my best. At this point, any counterfeit goods you come in can be exchanged for double compensation."

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

"Master Patriarch, you are the kindest patriarch I have ever seen!"

"Master Patriarch, you saved my family's life. Without this compensation, our whole family would have to go out."

The next moment, all the major Gu Masters spoke one after another, some shed tears, and some knelt down on the spot to thank Shang Xinci.

"Let's go." Shang Xinci took the two maids and left the place and walked to the street.

The two maids were still not angry.

Xiaodie complained: "Miss, you are too talkative. Not only did you let go of those troublesome Gu cultivators, but you also doubled the compensation to them."

Xiaolan also said: "Miss, I know you have a good heart and sympathize with those poor people. But no matter whether you are a buyer or a seller, there must be bad guys lurking. Now you are paying double the compensation. I am afraid that you are behind the scenes." This is the evil plan of the Black Hand, they just want to empty out our reserves of Yuan Stone first."

Shang Xinci shook his head: "It's just a few yuan stones. If you lose one, you can make two, three, or even more in the future. But if the reputation of the merchant is damaged, I don't know how much effort it will take and how long it will take to make up for it in the future." return."

"If I can't bear to part with these Yuan Stones, I have fallen into the plot of those behind the scenes. It doesn't matter if I lose the Yuan Stones, but it is more serious if I damage the reputation of the business. It's because I, the patriarch of the clan, Shang Xinci, did not do well. They can take advantage of this. Use your strength to shake my position as clan leader."

Shang Xinci's tone was gentle, and she spoke slowly and calmly, making people feel like a warm breeze was blowing on her face.

Both maids understood.

Xiaolan said sincerely: "So that's the case. Miss is still amazing, she can see clearly!"

Xiaodie muttered: "What the lady said is true, it's just that this thing is too irritating. Maybe that old man is not a bad person, but he is seizing on us and taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune! They don't go to trouble the bad guys who harmed them, Instead, they specifically bully good people like us. If Master Fang Yuan were here, these people would be so frightened that they would pee and pee and collapse on the ground, how could they dare to offend us!"

Xiaolan glared at Xiaodie fiercely and stamped her foot on Xiaodie's feet.

Xiaodie jumped in pain, quickly stuck out her tongue, and apologized to Shang Xinci: "Miss, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Ever since Fang Yuan and Lu Weiyin were hit by the killing move of the Destined Person in the Third World of Mengdu during the battle, Shang Xinci returned to Discussing Mountain. Every time she heard Fang Yuan's name, she would inevitably fall into a sad mood.

Therefore, the name Fang Yuan gradually became a taboo among people around Shang Xinci.

On the way back, the master and servant were all silent.

At the intersection of the street, Xiao Lan suddenly said: "Miss, Sir Wei Dexin and Sir Zhou Quan have been sick for many days. We might as well go visit them and see how their condition is."

Xiaodie immediately gave Xiaolan a thumbs up secretly.

At this time, it is better to let Shang Xinci turn his attention to the outside world.

Shang Xinci nodded: "What you said makes sense, let's go and see them right now."

The three of them first came to Wei Dexin's residence.

"Stop, who are you, sneaky!" Xiaodie found a suspicious person at the door.

When the suspected Gu cultivator saw Shang Xinci, his face darkened, but he relaxed in his heart. Knowing that Shang Xinci was kind and kind, he took the initiative to confess: "I am the Gu master of the Wu family, and this time I am delivering a letter to Lord Wei Shenci." Come."

Xiaodie's expression suddenly changed and she looked at Shang Xinci: "Miss, it's not good. I am afraid that Lord Wei Dexin has seen that the situation is not good and is about to be incited to defect to the Wu family."

Shang Xinci lightly tapped Xiaodie's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Wei is definitely not this kind of person. Sister Wei and Wei Shen are biological siblings, and there is nothing strange about the correspondence between the two parties. Both of you follow me. Go in and visit.”

Shang Xinci let go of the Wu family Gu master, entered the courtyard, and saw Wei Dexin who was bedridden.

Wei Dexin was obviously aware of the conflict at the door. As soon as they met, he handed over a channel Gu insect to Shang Xinci, but Shang Xinci refused with a smile.

Wei Dexin explained the reason: "Those people were very clever and plotted against me and Zhou Quan, making us both bedridden all day long. But I couldn't be troubled by this, so I wrote to my brother Wei Shenxin, inviting him to help. .”

Xiaolan was pleasantly surprised: "That's great. Mr. Wei Shenwen is known as the master of counterfeiting. He is a top-notch faker and is famous in southern Xinjiang. If he can help, he will definitely be able to solve the problem of counterfeit goods flooding in our merchants!"

Shang Xinci also smiled and said: "Not long ago, Wei Shen and I met in the Sun and Moon Tiankeng, and we joined forces to hunt down the demon Kong Ritian."

Wei Dexin sighed: "When the Wei family was persecuted, the merchant was the mastermind behind it. My brother was living abroad, and in order to protect himself, he had to seek refuge with the Wu family. He has always harbored hatred for the merchant and did not understand my behavior of relying on you, the patriarch. . But his letter this time said that Patriarch, your character and virtue have impressed him and he has understood what I have done."

"It's a pity that he can't get away now. Wu Ji, the head of the Wu family, has successfully ascended to immortality, and he promoted my brother to the throne not long ago. The Wu family has vigorously cultivated Ke Qing, and actually intends to cultivate outsiders to become Wu family Ke Qing Gu Immortals. My brother is facing the test. , I can only explain the details, but I can’t come.”

"Ah!" Xiaodie and Xiaolan looked at each other, both seeing deep disappointment on each other's faces.

Shang Xinci still smiled: "Brother Wei has such an opportunity, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you let it go, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Although there are difficulties on my side, I must not delay Brother Wei's bright future. I am just fighting for the opportunity to become an immortal. , it will definitely be dangerous and difficult. If Brother Wei needs help in any way, we will definitely help if we can."

"Chief, you are so kind, but it's a pity that I can't help you." Wei Dexin sighed.

"Sister Wei, I would like to thank you very much. But you are injured, so don't work too much. To be honest, just go ahead and recuperate, I already have a countermeasure." Shang Xinci's face spread with a smile.

Wei Dexin took a deep look at Shang Xinci and sighed secretly again.

She knew Shang Xinci quite well, and seeing her expression like this, she knew that she hadn't thought of any countermeasures yet.

The situation this time was very difficult. After all, it was Shang Qiaoniu and his gang who joined forces. If such a big trouble is not handled well, it will really affect Shang Xinci's position as the patriarch.

Shang Yanfei passed on the position of patriarch to Shang Xinci, but the right path has its own rules. If Shang Xinci is ousted, Shang Yanfei has already passed on the position of clan leader once, and it will be even more difficult to defend him.

"Shang Xinci couldn't protect himself, but he didn't want me to worry too much, so he pretended to comfort me." Wei Dexin understood this and smiled at Shang Xinci, "Now that you have a countermeasure, patriarch, I can rest assured. Please take good care of yourself and recuperate."

"That's right." Shang Xinci smiled.

"Let's go, don't disturb my rest." Wei Dexin waved her hand. She knew that Shang Xinci was pressed for time and didn't want to delay her any longer.

The three masters and servants were "driven" out.

They left Wei Dexin's place and went to visit Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan said: "I already know what happened in the market. Patriarch, you handled it right!"

"I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see through the situation. Over the years, Manager Zhou and Sister Wei have made great contributions to their teachings." Shang Xinci said modestly.

Zhou Quan looked at Shang Xinci. At first, he was forced by Fang Yuan and had to become Shang Xinci's subordinate to help Shang Xinci.

But then, he gradually became aware of Shang Xinci's nature and marveled that there were such people in the world.

If Shang Xinci was just kind-hearted, Zhou Quan would definitely look down on her and abandon her.

However, although Shang Xinci was not talented in Gu cultivation, he was very talented and good at drawing inferences from one instance. Under the guidance of Zhou Quan and Wei Dexin, he grew up rapidly. Nowadays, not only is his personal ability, but he is also able to manage a large business with ease.

While Zhou Quan was pleased, he was also secretly impressed.

All because Shang has the same kind heart and character, and always has his own bottom line. Her kindness and kindness have never wavered because she has seen too much darkness, evil, and cruelty. Not only that, but it also allowed Shang Xinci to discover the pity and compassion behind all kinds of cruelty and sorrow, thus strengthening her benevolent heart.

This is really valuable!

Before leaving, Zhou Quan reminded: "The patriarch's double compensation will only alleviate public opinion and treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The root cause of this matter lies in fakes. How to detect the source of fakes and remove them Stifling, this is the first one. How to quickly and effectively detect the fake products still on the market, this is the second one. Only by solving these two points can we truly break through the dilemma."

Late at night.

In the next room, Xiaolan and Xiaodie were both asleep.

Shang Xinci looked at the pile of fake Gu on the table, with a look of sadness on his face.

She smiled silently.

In order not to worry the people around him and shouldering the responsibility of the patriarch, Shang Xinci is always confident and calm. Only when she was alone did she show her true emotions.

At this moment, she was like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, so haggard that it made people feel sad.

Faced with the pile of fake Gu in front of her, she was helpless. In fact, Shang Xinci has tried his best to get to this point!

In the silent night, she let out a long helpless sigh.

"Why is the clan leader sighing?" A halo of light suddenly lit up in the fake Gu, and it quickly condensed into an image of an old man.

Shang Xinci's eyes showed a strange look. This old man was exactly the one who asked for compensation in the shop during the day!
