Chapter 265 Stone Lock, Speculation
Shi Mei collapsed on the ground with a pale face, unable to react.
The head of the Shi family was still holding on, helping his daughter up from the ground. Not daring to say another word, he took Shi Mei and left.
In his haste, he even forgot to take his cloak.
After leaving Fushou Hall, I felt shivering in the cold wind. I wanted to go back and get my cloak, but I was a little scared.
It was another demon slave who threw out his cloak and Shi Mei's cape.
"My old lady said that from now on, people from your Shi family should not come to our Mo family's door anymore. If people from our two mansions meet outside, we should pretend not to know each other."
The words of the demon slave made the head of the Shi family's face turn pale. He wanted to avoid the cloak that was thrown on the ground.
But Shi Mei didn't know whether she fainted because of her huge emotional fluctuations or because she was suddenly cold.
He could only pick up the cloak on the ground, wrap Shi Mei with the cloak, and take her out of the Mo family.
The demon slaves of the Shi family were waiting outside because they couldn't enter the Mo family's door.
Seeing the head of the Shi family carrying Shi Mei out, the demon slave, whose face was a little purple from the cold, hurried forward, took Shi Mei from the head of the Shi family, and put her on the carriage.
After the Shi family left, Grandma Mo took a look at the curtain that had fallen off after being bumped by the head of the Shi family.
"I'm afraid the Shi family's lifespan is almost over.
This Shi Zhongkui is a useless person. If there was no elder supporting him, the Shi family would have become a second-class noble family long ago.
But even with that elder around, their Shi family is getting worse day by day.
A foolish head of a family can ruin a family's legacy that has lasted for tens of millions of years."
Grandma Mo was quite emotional. She still remembered Shi Zhongkui's father, who was also a famous figure in the demon world.
However, Shi Zhongkui's father was a complete advocate of war between the human and demon races. Hundreds of years ago, he took several outstanding children of the Shi family to the human-demon battlefield.
Later, the demons were defeated, and when humans once again sealed the demons in the demon world, Shi Zhongkui's father and the tribe members he brought with him were almost all killed.
Those who didn't die were completely crippled and died after just a few decades.
Shi Zhongkui's father always disliked his son, but before he died, he did a good thing for his son.
He took all the outstanding sons of the Shi family to the battlefield, except for the timid Shi Zhongkui, which allowed Shi Zhongkui to get a great advantage.
He became the current head of the Shi family.
Otherwise, it is not certain who will be the next head of the Shi family!
At that time, when the human and demon races had not yet gone to war, Shi Zhongkui's father was still healthy, and the elders of the clan were already worried about the successor to the head of the family.
Most of the elders in the Shi family have the same opinion about Shi Zhongkui.
Although he holds a position as the direct descendant, he lacks the ability of the direct descendant and is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
The candidate they favored for the next head of the family was Shi Shi, who had followed Shi Zhongkui's father into the battlefield.
However, when Shi Shi returned from the battlefield, he had lost most of his cultivation and his leg was broken.
The head of the Shi family cannot be a disabled person, let alone a useless person who has lost most of his cultivation, so Shi Zhongkui became the head of the family in the end.
Shi Shi hanged himself on the day Shi Zhongkui became the head of the family.
No one knows how a disabled person hanged himself on the beam of the house. The rumor of suicide came from the Shi family, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
However, Shi Shi's daughter is still alive in the Shi family.
It was Shi Suo, the black-clad woman who had followed Shi Mei and had little presence at the family reunion banquet that day.
Shi Suo's name was given by Shi Zhongkui. She is just a young lady from the side branch of the Shi family. She follows Shi Mei to protect her.
She is ten years younger than Shi Mei, but her strength has reached the middle stage of Demonic Pill.
At the family recognition banquet yesterday, Shi Suo was supposed to go on stage to provoke Leng Zhuxin, but Shi Suo happened to be injured while practicing and became possessed the day before the banquet, so Shi Fei had to take the stage instead.
Neither the Mo family nor Leng Zhuxin knew about this, and the Mo family didn't even notice the stone lock.
To them, Shi Suo was just an insignificant young lady from the Shi family's side branch, a puppet controlled by the head of the Shi family with both her parents dead.
In the eyes of the head of the Shi family, they should be similar to those demon slaves of the Shi family.
Even though they guessed that Shisuo must have deliberately made himself possessed, they only thought that Shisuo knew this was to offend the Mo family.
When the Shi family wants to apologize to the Mo family, they will definitely push her out, so they did this on purpose.
Leng Zhuxin, who had only met Shisuo once at the family reunion banquet, didn't think so.
Although Shi Suo acted timidly and followed Shi Mei with his head down the whole time, he seemed to have no sense of existence at all.
But Leng Zhuxin could see that Shisuo was not a person without ambition. Her presence was too low, so low that even Leng Zhuxin, who was used to remembering everyone present, found her too inconspicuous at first glance.
This was the flaw. Leng Zhuxin was just curious about who she was at first and stared at her for a long time.
If he was really a shy and introverted person who acted timidly, he would definitely feel uncomfortable under Leng Zhuxin's gaze and would want to hide himself.
But Shisuo was not only very sensitive and noticed Leng Zhuxin's gaze the first time Leng Zhuxin looked over, but also raised his head and looked back.
Although she disguised herself well, Leng Zhuxin still saw the ambition deep in her eyes.
When Shi Fei was defeated, Leng Zhuxin also saw Shi Suo secretly curling the corners of his lips.
Shi Suo hated the Shi family, and Leng Zhuxin could feel it.
Based on Shi Suo's talent and strength, there is absolutely no need for him to be humble in front of Shi Mei. Shi Suo must have other reasons for doing so.
Also, when Shi Suo left with the Shi family, her walking posture was hunched over, but it seemed a bit too deliberate.
After the family reunion banquet, Leng Zhuxin asked Shisuo in Mo's father's study.
Mo Qingshan, who knew everything about the various families in Demon King City, only had one impression of Shi Suo: a young lady from the Shi family's side branch.
Today she took the initiative to ask Shi Fei to marry in her place, and she also wanted to test Shi Suo.
The Demon King's decree only stated that the Shi family's legitimate daughter should be married to the Fifth Prince, so there was still much potential for this to happen.
As long as Shi Zhongkui acts quickly, it is not impossible for him to recognize Shi Suo as his legitimate daughter and marry her off in her place.
Leng Zhuxin was afraid that Shi Zhongkui couldn't think of this, so she took the initiative to remind him.
Whether there is a problem with the stone lock or not depends on who the young lady who married into the Shi family is!
Shi family, Shi Mei...
Leng Zhuxin frowned and recalled Shi Mei's expression just now. For a moment, she felt like a young girl in love, most likely thinking of her lover.
Shi Mei is a lady from a noble family in the mortal world. She only leaves the house when there are banquets at other families. She doesn't come into contact with many people. Who could be her lover?
Leng Zhuxin always felt that Shi Mei’s lover was not simple and was not from this Demon King City.
In other words, his identity in front of the Shi family is not that of a member of the Demon King's City.
Leng Zhuxin inexplicably thought of the man in black who caused her to fall into the demon world, and the Holy Lord mentioned by Qin Gu.
