Chapter 35
Shu Shi.
This name had not really attracted attention in the Netherworld Sect before.
Even if someone had heard it, their first reaction would be scorn.
A man who had risen to the top based on his background and had repeatedly lost battles after serving as the commander of Fengsha City was almost the laughing stock of the entire Southwest Region.
But with so many people scoffing at him before, it was comparable to so many people being shocked now as well.
What kind of person was Chen Qingluan?
The peerless genius of the imperial dynasty, the youngest imperial Censor of the Demon Extermination Division, and even listed as a major concern by the sect on the same level as Zhan Qingchen of Tianji Pavilion.
Such an unrivaled talent had lost to Shu Shi.
And it was a tragic defeat.
If they hadn’t read the battle reports from Yulin City, no one would have dared to believe that this had really happened.
“Is he Shu Shi? Isn’t he too young!”
“It is said that he is just over twenty this year.”
“A twenty-year-old Golden Elixir practitioner? That talent is only comparable to Zhan Qingchen!”
“But when he entered the sect, his talent was only high-grade ordinary, so I guess he should have had some strange encounters.”
“That’s acceptable, after all, luck is also part of one’s strength.”
“Commander Shu is very handsome ……”
Listening to the whispers around him, Shu Shi looked bland and unperturbed.
Great people are those who do not fall when insulted, and do not fly when praised.
Of course.
That only applied if one did not seek a fight with him.
“Yo, isn’t this Junior Brother Shu?”
A woman with a sexy body stopped in front of him and sneered, “What, you just finished making merit and you can’t wait to come back to ask for rewards?”
Shu Shi stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed.
The person she least expected to see had appeared.
Cen Yiren.
An inner disciple senior sister of the Netherworld Rakshasa Sect.
Although her name was Yiren, it had nothing to do with her character.1
Hot-tempered, brutal, and arrogant, she screamed for blood the moment someone offended her.
If Chen Qingluan had violent tendencies, then this senior sister was an extremely violent maniac!
Ever since Shu Shi first joined the sect, Cen Yiren had looked at him with displeasure.
Finding fault and fighting against him at every turn.
Shu Shi was familiar with the storyline, so he naturally knew why.
Cen Yiren was a loyal admirer of Demon Empress.
But Demon Empress treated her coldly, instead treating Shu Shi, who had an ordinary talent, very special.
Not only did she teach him netherworld cultivation methods, but she also promoted him to the position of Commander of Fengsha City exclusively.
This made Cen Yiren extremely jealous inwardly.
And blamed everything on Shu Shi.
“Get out of the way.”
Shu Shi said indifferently.
Cen Yiren froze for a moment, then her expression became colder, “It seems like Junior Brother Shu has become so arrogant and no longer puts me, his Senior Sister, in his sights.”
“Senior sister?”
Shu Shi’s voice was calm, “Although you joined the sect before me, you have no position in it, and you and I are neither superiors nor subordinates, so I really don’t need to put you in my sights.”
“Instead, you should call me Commander Shu.”
“You!”
Cen Yiren was furious, her chest heaving violently.
When did this brat become so stubborn?
Shu Shi glanced at her secretly.
What a good girl.
Not bad for an older sister!
Cen Yiren said sternly, “How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?”
“Of course I know.”
Shu Shi said, “You are the daughter of Saint Cen Baihu, but so what? Can you make a Saint kill me?”
Cen Yiren’s breath hitched.
She indeed could not.
Although Cen Baihu was his father, he would never attack a fellow sect disciple for her.
Shu Shi sighed, “Senior sister Cen, if you want to gain the favor of Her Majesty, you must rely on your own efforts, not play these childish tricks like playing house.”
“You’re really calling me childish?”
Cen Yiren almost died of anger.
As if to prove herself, she pushed her chest up hard, “Now, do you still dare to call me childish?”
“Cough cough!”
Shu Shi almost choked to death from swallowing his saliva.
“Physical maturity doesn’t necessarily mean the mind is mature, as the saying goes, that big ones usually have no brains! …… senior sister still has a long way to go.”
After saying that, he walked right past her.
This place is not suitable for staying for a long time.
Who knows what else this brainless senior sister can do?
“You, you, you, you said I have no brain?!”
Cen Yiren reacted, her eyes almost spitting fire.
She turned her head and roared towards Shu Shi’s back, “Who said I have no brains, can’t you see it when it’s so obvious!”
“I’m so angry!”
If it weren’t for the ban on fighting randomly within the sect, she would have definitely beaten Shu Shi to death!
Seeing Cen Yiren with her teeth and claws, the surrounding disciples fell silent and rushed to hide far away for fear of being caught by this tigress to vent her anger.
In the far corner.
The burly man with short silver hair couldn’t help but clap his hands as he watched the scene and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that girl to be at a loss for words.”
A thin man next to him shook his head and said, “Yiren is getting upset, and you’re still laughing as a father?”
The burly man shook his head and said, “What do you know? With her temperament, if no one helps her to heal her, I don’t know how much suffering she will have in the future.”
“Everyone in the sect is afraid of her because of her identity, only this Shu Shi doesn’t put her in his sights.”
“Alright, this is a little interesting.”
The burly man’s eyes filled with laughter.
……
Rakshasa Demon Palace.
Standing in front of the luxurious room, Shu Shi said in a loud voice, “Shu Shi, Commander of Fengsha City, has come to see Your Majesty.”
A moment later, an indifferent voice rang through the air.
“Come in.”
Shu Shi took a deep breath and lifted his foot to step into the hall.
