Chapter 71 The situation

took her through the left-behind area and Shen Xu chose the longest road. The left-behind area stretches across the north of the city and looks like a huge abscess when viewed from the air. Mu Yu also thought more than once that this was just an overly large garbage dump.

Until I actually set foot here.

The road beneath my feet has not been well maintained for I don't know how many years. Either it's all mud mixed with sewage, or it's just covered with a piece of cardboard.

The two of them walked side by side and just occupied the entire road. The roads were lined with closely connected houses. Architectural structures that humans can and cannot imagine are all densely packed into both sides of the street. It looks funny, but it is extremely harmonious in this place.

The heads poking out of the grotesque crumbling buildings made her extremely uncomfortable. They were not simply curious about an outsider, but regarded her as an invader or a joke to be commented on after dinner.

She had just returned from Norway and rushed to Shen Xu's appointment without even taking a moment's rest, but Shen Xu directly led her to the left-behind area. She silently followed him deeper, without even frowning.

Their final destination was a shabby little bungalow. Calling it a bungalow is putting it mildly, but there are no bricks on the outside, and the rough edges are full of cracks. I'm afraid a house made of straw would be stronger than this.

Mu Yu knew the purpose of this place when he touched the outer wall for the first time. She has always been sensitive to energy, and even if there are countless odors mixed around her, she can still distinguish the fishy smell.

This is indeed a place for people to live, but not for living people.

There was a wooden table and a few chairs in the empty room. Before they came in, a middle-aged man was sitting on one of the chairs, looking up at the same bare ceiling, which had nothing but a beam on it. When he saw Shen Xu, he immediately stood up and called out: "Cousin." Shen

Xu waved his hands with a smile and introduced to Mu Yu: "This is Shen Yi, who is my distant cousin. In recent years, the affairs in the left-behind area It's all up to him. No need to tell anyone. "

The two do look like brothers. Not only are they similar in appearance, but they also have the same rigorous and rigid temperament. Shen Yi should have known Mu Yu from him, and was not particularly surprised when he saw her. He glanced at her and nodded as a greeting. Mu Yu didn't say too much, and she didn't come here just for greetings.

After they all sat down, they went straight to the topic. He always seemed to be a very kind elder. Even in such a bad environment, he didn't feel any sense of violation: "Xiaoyu came all the way just to give us a gift. He crossed his arms and seemed unhurried, "I have been thinking about that gift since summer, and I hope I don't have time to rejoice."

The warning in his words was too obvious.

Mu Yu slowly pushed the paper over. She did not ignore that Shen Yi could not move his eyes away from the paper for the first time. The excitement, excitement, and greed that surged out in an instant were so dazzling that it was hard not to take them seriously. However, when he found that she was looking at him, he immediately stopped everything, lowered his head and returned to the look of obeying his brother.

Distant cousin...According to the seniority of the Shen family, Shen Yi should be from the common branch.

"This is..." Even Shen Su, who had always been indifferent, couldn't restrain himself. He was about to pick up the paper but found that the paper was still held tightly by Mu Yu.

"The gifts haven't been delivered yet, why are you in a hurry?" Mu Yu pretended not to see his sharp eyes for a moment, and pushed the silver weapon over with his other hand. He leisurely watched Shen Xu's expression change, "It was agreed at that time. Yes, let's talk about cooperation based on the gift. I put all my heart into it, but you don't seem to think so."

"They are matching, and the weapons can only be used after entering the door," she waved at the piece of paper. Chin added, "But I promise it will be soon."

Shen Xu had no time to care about her words that almost stated today's purpose. When the girl took out these two things, he decided to re-evaluate her weight. His voice was dry: "Where did you get it from?" He quickly realized that this was a stupid statement. Mu Yu would never tell the truth to him regardless of the origin of these two things.

He licked his lips and calmed down: "It seems rude to meet in such a place." He did not explain too much about his previous plan, and there was no need to explain, "But here is different for me and Xiaoyi." Meaning. It's a bit embarrassing to say it. The Chen Nian family is in trouble..."

Mu Yu thought he would continue, but she was ready to listen, but she didn't want him to bring the topic back again: "How much do you still have?"

She said. She answered cautiously: "As long as you can afford the price, it will at least be more than enough for you to finish what you need to do in Kyushu." She did not dodge Shen Xu's inquiry. "The charity organization established for Qitong can be a good idea." Qitong said, "It doesn't work if you tell me."

After getting her answer, Shen Xu stroked his beard and showed a cunning smile: "Settling accounts with those people in Kunlun can be said to Zihuai's grave. I said it doesn't work either. You might as well say something that applies to the relationship between the two of us. What do you think of the British Ministry of Magic?"

At this moment, Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at her quickly, then immediately looked away.

Mu Yu tightened his grip on the edge of the table: "You already have the answer. No matter what I say, you will only accept that answer."

"Kid, it's always interesting." He straightened his expression, "Let me think about it, let me Think about it. It's been too long since I've said something and I haven't taught anyone anything. After all, only true partners are worth my time."

Mu Yu leaned back in his chair and tapped the table to wait for his follow-up. . She has always been very patient in this regard and has a high level of tolerance for Shen Su's subtext.

Just temporary tolerance.

"Xiao Yi, do you still remember the first words I said when my father died in Kunlun after an experience and the Shen family was in chaos, and I fled with you in my arms?" He seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, turning to ask the silent man Shen Yi.

"Sooner or later, the glory of the Shen family must be restored one day, so that the Shen family, like Kunlun College, can become the most transcendent existence in the secular world." Shen Yi said it very skillfully, as if she had memorized it countless times.

"After so many years and so many preparations," he murmured to himself, "there is always one thing missing, one thing missing to lift the Shen family to that position. Now it is different..."

Mu Yu did not disturb him, as if When he talked about lifting to that position, her eyes lowered slightly, and then quickly raised again, as if she was listening carefully.

"You can see that I want to reset the distribution of secular power and control the secular world. With so many years of preparation, this step is not particularly difficult." This time he focused on Mu Yu, "Do you know why I didn't take action?"

"I'm afraid what you want is not to get the same status as Kunlun. You want more. You want the Shen family to become the well-deserved first family. No, this is not enough. You want the Shen family to be the belief of everyone," Mu Yu pointed out his ambition. She was too familiar with this idea. The appearance of that spell and the weapon still made Shen Xu proud. Revealing such ambition in front of her was a fatal mistake. "From now on, it goes without saying that if you fail, if you succeed, it will be nothing more than becoming the second Kunlun. He can control the world, but You can't become the faith and god of millions of people."

Shen Xu clapped his hands and laughed: "You are really smart," his questions became more and more malicious, "Do you know why I start from the secular world? I did have some thoughts a few minutes ago, do you know why I finally sat here and negotiated a deal with you?"

Why, of course, because the current situation in Kunlun is not only a mess, but also a pool of stagnant water. The only way to break the situation is to start from the secular world. And letting her go was just because of the weapon.

But Mu Yu was not prepared to answer his question, which involved the current situation in Kyushu. Interjecting rashly just made Shen Xu laugh.

"Kunlun people who advocate escaping from the world and imitating the West and letting go of the secular world are almost dead. Your grandfather is one, Xu Yu is another, Ning Yue... Although he has always been neutral, in fact, he still secretly advocates escapism."

This is the first time Mu Yu has spoken directly. Seeing the waves surging under the stagnant water of Jiuzhou, she listened extremely seriously. It's just that Xu Yu...this faction is even more bleak than imagined.

"The remaining twelve deacons, including Zhao Mu, the vice-president who died at Hogwarts, are all in favor of maintaining the status quo, and even going one step further to strengthen secular control. In such an atmosphere, it is natural for some of the disciples trained by Kunlun to flow into secular experience The academic sect formed the Gongwei Academy. The academic sect was born out of Kunlun, but it is far more luxuriant than Kunlun. They have always been Kunlun's arm in controlling the world."

Shen Xu snorted: "There is no point in just fighting in the academy. After suppressing the Twelve Deacons, the academic sect formed in the secular world continued to provide them with supplies, but they forgot that the secular world would always resist, and small-scale incidents in the left-behind area did not happen once or twice." He raised the weapon. Playing with, "The left-behind area is always an acne, and if the ulcer is not removed in time, it will go straight to the bone marrow. Their resistance has given rise to new interest groups that can represent them, and this group is in urgent need of leaders. After all, the clan still has some

"The existence of the weapon gives them external strength, and the spell strengthens them internally," Mu Yu said while thinking. She had to repeatedly measure and deduce Shen He's layout in order to do it on this chessboard . Come up with the most appropriate response, "Besides these, I can't think of anything else for us to cooperate with."

"Don't you think we have many similarities?" Shen Xu was like a teacher who patiently answers students' questions, " Beliefs and gods are all connected. It is always difficult to be the first country to reveal another world. If you have a companion..."

Mu Yu held her chin and seemed to be very interested. She was not interested in Shen Xu's ambition. , after all, she has seen enough ambition.

What she cares about is the continuous pattern.

Only such an opponent would be interesting.

"There are so many things that attract me in Britain - Hogwarts, Gringotts full of treasures, weird pharmaceutical materials, Dementors - that thing has almost become a London specialty, and werewolves..."

Will Dementors The juxtaposition of monsters and werewolves is very strange, but anything that comes out of Shen Xu's mouth is worth thinking twice about.

"Werewolves, dementors..." A thought quickly flashed through her mind, "You have confidence in me."

Shen Xu just looked at her with a smile, and there was so much in this smile that was self-evident.

This is an old fox. But it’s normal to think about it, how could a mediocre person have the courage and courage to embark on this path, and how could he support the Shen family to its current status.

"Xiaoyu, you are very smart, and Zihuai has taught you well. I don't have much to teach you," he continued, "I am always cautious in choosing partners, and you still have a lot to learn. Zheng. The struggle for power is not about three-year-olds fighting, or gossiping. The best thing to do is to follow the trend and take advantage of the situation. With your intelligence, I don't need to explain this sentence. "

Mu Yu just picked up on his rhetoric. He raised his eyebrows and didn't know how much he heard: "So, what can you give me?"

"Outside of normal transactions..." He pointed to two things on the table, "Don't worry, I will pay you a satisfactory price. You You should be short of money now, and the Mu family's gold mine cannot be mined for a lifetime. Anything else you want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

This sentence alone is enough to show the secret development of the Shen family. The power also represents Shen Xu's confidence.

"For example..." Mu Yu drawled his voice, "Can you please incite Kunlun College to participate in the competition. Not only must you participate, but you must also participate with all your strength."

Before Shen Xu could respond, she continued: "Actually, it's very simple. It's just that. Someone needs to mention to the deacon that this is an excellent opportunity to humiliate the West, and if they are promised benefits, they will definitely agree." She knocked on the table more and more frequently, "They must be busy with the world, but also take the opportunity to disturb Kunlun. I'm afraid it's not that easy. Since you are so sincere, as a partner, I should reciprocate and help you share the burden."

"Kunlun will focus on the outcome of this game..." She stopped tapping, "Our cooperation. It's just the beginning."

"You must know that once you embark on this path, you can never look back." Shen Su's eyes were complicated for a second, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "You will betray all the principles and teachings of your grandfather.

"It seems that you don't know me well enough." "

The Three Purity Oath

is the highest standard of oath. It is sworn by one's own Dao Heart. If the oath is destroyed, the Dao Heart will dissipate." According to Western terms, it would be reduced to a squib. That is more painful than death.

"Content of the oath"

"Cooperation establishes a new order. During the cooperation period, no relevant content is allowed to be sold to a third party, and no withdrawal is allowed."

The heavy rain outside was pouring down, mercilessly suppressing the cabin.

"Open the altar and make an oath." Mu Yu An darkly drew something like a black thread from the jade pendant around his waist and grabbed it in his hand.
