Chapter 175 What kind of class do they have that they deserve to sit in the same row as me!
"Clan Chief, are you trying to force me to take action?"
Shen Ming narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable.
"Don't dare."
Wang Xu's expression changed slightly, his eyes darted around, his eyes reddened, and his voice became hoarse as he said:
"However, as the only non-royal duke of Dayu, Old Master Shen is highly respected and deeply valued by His Majesty."
"Now the Second Prince is dead here, and the murderer is still at large. If this news gets out today, it will likely damage the reputations of Young Master Shen and Old Master Shen. His Majesty will probably be disappointed as well."
"Young Master Shen, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Old Master Shen and the Shen family's legacy for generations to come."
He sighed softly, appealing to people's emotions and reasoning with them, giving them a feeling of deep sorrow, as if they felt it was all for nothing.
Even Li Wudao was somewhat stunned by the moving performance.
I never would have guessed that his "good uncle" was also an improvisational artist.
Look, this is the composure of the older generation of artists.
The Oscars owe him an Oscar.
Even the textbooks at the Beijing Film Academy don't have his acting skills.
Everyone was stunned. They felt that what Wang Xu said made sense, and they couldn't help but wonder what Shen Ming, the eldest son of the Shen family, would do.
Noticing the strange looks from the crowd, Shen Ming's face darkened, and he stared coldly at Wang Xu, "Old man, you dare threaten me...?"
Realizing something was wrong, Wang Xu tensed up, about to say something.
But the next instant, a fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down on his chest with incredible speed, giving him no chance to speak.
Caught off guard, Wang Xu hastily raised his hand to defend himself.
"puff!"
In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu felt a sharp pain and numbness in his arm, his chest was shaken and disoriented, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered back several steps.
Looking at Shen Ming again, he stood firmly in place, his eyes sharp and his aura surging, completely unharmed.
A gasp came from the sidelines.
"I've long heard of Young Master Shen's extraordinary talent, and seeing it now, it's truly well-deserved. He truly deserves to be called the number one genius of the Great Yu!"
"I remember that the Wang family patriarch was a mid-stage Martial King, a rare genius back then. I never expected that he was no match for Young Master Shen."
“There are differences in strength even among those at the same level, and the same is true among geniuses. It can only be said that Young Master Shen’s talent is far superior to that of the Wang family patriarch.”
Below, many people whispered and commented.
"It's only been a few years, and his strength has already surpassed even that of the clan head?"
Wang Xu covered his throbbing chest with one hand, his pupils trembling uncontrollably.
The Duke's Mansion was already the most powerful family, above all the clans in the capital. Now, with the emergence of Shen Ming, a prodigy, the Wang family will not be able to turn the tide for at least a hundred years!
He was resentful, jealous, and unwilling to submit.
Both are ancient families with a history of thousands of years, so why is it that my Wang family has been slow to produce such a prodigy?
Just then, Shen Ming suddenly shouted, "From this moment on, on behalf of the Shen family, I hereby expel Shen Lan from the family. From now on, she will have no further connection with the Shen family!"
The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the entire Imperial Treasure Pavilion, leaving many people stunned.
This public statement is tantamount to pushing a delicate alliance to the opposite side, with no possibility of reconciliation.
"Do you know what you're doing? The Shen family will not allow you to do this; you have no right to do so!"
Wang Xu was shocked and enraged, and reacted violently.
Although the two families have been fighting each other for many years, the marriage alliance has a complex relationship involving many cooperative industries and intertwined interests. How could they be so easily broken up?
"If you're not happy, go talk to my father. Either he kicks me out of the family too, or your Wang family won't get the slightest advantage from me!"
Shen Ming crossed his arms and gave a cold, indifferent laugh.
They wanted to put him on the hot seat, coercing and luring him to deal with Junior Brother Li?
Unless he's out of his mind, he wouldn't do something so stupid.
Leaving aside the Wang family, with whom he only has some vested interests, he wouldn't hesitate to personally deal with any inappropriate thoughts from members of the Shen family.
He could see the difference between the immediate, petty gains and the vast potential of the future.
Besides, even if we take a step back and say the worst...
Even if he really made a move, could he be a match for a freak like Junior Brother Li?
Wang Xu is giving him far too much credit. He doesn't want to be beaten so badly in public that he can't get up again; that would truly make him a laughingstock.
"you......."
Wang Xu was speechless.
He hadn't expected Shen Ming to be so stubborn, refusing to back down an inch.
"Tsk tsk, Patriarch Wang, your third wife has also been expelled from the family. How does that feel?"
Suddenly, Li Wudao's cheeky, mocking voice rang in his ears.
"You little bastard, stop with your sarcastic remarks. Just wait and see, you won't be able to keep this up for long!"
Seeing the playful look on the boy's face, Wang Xu felt a tightness and pain in his chest, and trembled with anger.
Li Wudao chuckled lightly, then added meaningfully at the end, "Fine, I'll wait... wait for your Wang family... to be raided and wiped out."
"You... Pfft!"
Wang Xu pointed angrily, his throat suddenly felt sweet with rage, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly looking pale and weak.
"You little beast, I swear I will tear you to pieces and shred your body into a million fragments!"
His face contorted in pain, and his roar filled the entire hall.
Li Wudao, the person involved, shrugged uncharacteristically and sat back down on his own.
"Hey Li, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to go and beat him up?"
On the seat, the green-haired turtle lay lazily, staring wide-eyed with a suspicious look.
This kid is not one to suffer a loss easily; he's very vengeful.
Look at that second prince, he was killed immediately after being threatened with a few words. Why did he chicken out this time?
"What's the rush? To destroy something, you must first make it mad..."
Li Wudao crossed his legs, a slight smirk playing on his lips, a chilling glint in his deep eyes.
Back then, the Wang family used every means to force his mother away and repeatedly humiliated him.
He wants the Wang family to repay all of these debts double.
He could certainly slit Wang Xu's throat with a single sword stroke, but that would be too easy on the other party.
He wanted this "good uncle" who valued family interests above all else to witness firsthand how his proud family gradually declined and perished.
The green-haired turtle's bright eyes darted around slightly, and it vaguely guessed the boy's plan.
"Damn it, I knew you weren't a good guy. When it comes to being cunning, you're the best."
It rolled its eyes in annoyance and muttered under its breath.
"Heh, what do you think you are? You're full of bad ideas, even ink is clearer than you. Even the most heinous villains would have to call you senior."
Li Wudao glanced at it sideways.
"Huh? Is this little bastard really that bad?"
Li Nanzhi, standing nearby, looked surprised and couldn't help but glance at the green-haired turtle.
"Little girl, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. He's slandering me. He's just jealous of my handsome appearance..."
The green-haired turtle vehemently denied it, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"puff--"
Li Nanzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, gently tapping its green head with her slender hand. "You shameless bastard."
Li Wudao was too lazy to argue with it, so he turned to Murong Qinglan and said, "Miss Murong, it's about time, shall we begin the auction?"
"it is good."
Murong Qinglan was taken aback. Looking at the restless crowd below the stage, she said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. The auction is about to begin. Please refrain from making noise."
As she spoke, she glanced at the already cold corpse not far away, frowned, and said, "Someone, drag the Second Prince's body out."
And so, to everyone's astonishment...
The esteemed second prince was dragged out like a dead dog by two servants, each holding one of his arms.
Soon, the little incident subsided, and everyone gradually calmed down.
Wang Xu and Meng Zhenhu, these two so-called important figures in the capital, were dissatisfied but helpless and could only anxiously await the arrival of reinforcements.
Just as everyone had taken their seats, a contemptuous, cold shout suddenly rang out:
"What kind of class do you think you are, daring to sit in the same row as me? Get out of here!"
