395: Compared to Shen Tianxing, he is far inferior.

Li Tongshen entered the Shen Estate with light steps, carrying several lotus leaf chickens and several pots of wine.

Returning victorious from this battle, he had performed a great service, and he felt a bit full of himself.

Knowing that Shen Tianxing had returned to the Imperial City, he wanted to have a few drinks with him.

However, just a few steps past the main gate, Li Tongshen almost turned around and ran!

"Li Tongshen! Where are you running off to, you rascal?"

Shi Linglong, sharp-eyed, spotted Li Tongshen entering the mansion and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Shi Linglong was the person Li Tongshen feared most. When he used to wander among the demon race, several Incarnations he had painstakingly Cultivated were destroyed by Shi Linglong.

Later, ordered by Shen Tianxing to return to Great Qi, he encountered Shi Linglong again, and even half of his Cultivation treasures were plundered.

He was almost traumatized by Shi Linglong.

"Ah haha... I'm not running, no. I just saw so many people, and I didn't buy enough wine, so I wanted to go buy some more."

This reason was very strong!

There were many people in the courtyard, and Li Tongshen had met most of them. After all, these beautiful women all had some connection to his Young Master, so he couldn't help but recognize them.

Among these people, Liu Xianyun and Xing Yao were the most familiar to him.

"Hmph, smart of you!"

"But, don't bother. We have everything here."

Now that they were considered 'their own people,' Shi Linglong didn't intend to tease him anymore. She waved her hand, signaling that she was letting him off the hook.

Facing Shi Linglong, Li Tongshen could only offer a fawning smile. He was truly afraid of Shi Linglong.

He dared not even think of resisting. Since he couldn't win a fight, it was better not to court disaster.

This was the first time Yaochi saw Li Tongshen, and she immediately sensed the Qi emanating from him, which was of the same origin as hers!

This person was her clansman!

With Li Tongshen's Cultivation, he naturally couldn't sense Yaochi's Qi; the difference between them was too vast.

He had no idea that this stunning woman standing not far away was actually his clansman!

"You've performed a great service in the Western Frontier this time. Have you returned to receive your commendation?"

Just then, Shen Tianxing arrived.

The moment Li Tongshen's Qi appeared, he had already sensed it.

Yaochi glanced at Shen Tianxing, and a glimmer flashed in her exquisite eyes. This fellow's strength had grown again; this time, he had completely surpassed her!

Such talent was truly incredible!

"Young Master!"

Seeing Shen Tianxing appear, Li Tongshen quickly saluted, casually setting down the roasted chickens and fine wine he was carrying.

"Young Master is joking. Knowing that Young Master had returned, I rushed back to see you without stopping, not even attending His Majesty's summons."

Li Tongshen, having been with Shen Tianxing for so long, how could he not understand his teasing?

He quickly expressed his loyalty, truly a live wire!

Of course, he also knew that Shen Tianxing was joking with him.

Although Great Qi was an Imperial Dynasty, it was, after all, a mortal realm, with no appeal to a Cultivator like him who was solely focused on Cultivation!

He preferred to follow Shen Tianxing, traveling everywhere, and usually receiving guidance from Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun, which accelerated his Cultivation!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly from the Divine Profound Realm to the Peak of the Soul Palace Realm in just one short year.

The women covered their mouths and chuckled, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was lively.

"Miss Yaochi, please come to the study for a chat."

Shen Tianxing called out, then glanced at Li Tongshen and said, "You come too!"

With that, Shen Tianxing turned and walked directly towards the study.

Li Tongshen was bewildered. Why call me to the study for questioning, and also bring this unfamiliar young lady?

Not only did he not understand, but Liu Xianyun and the others present were equally confused.

However, they were all intelligent people. If Shen Tianxing didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask further... The study was located right next to Shen Tianxing's main house.

The wooden tables, chairs, and furniture inside were all crafted by Shen Nian when he was alive.

Though called a study, Shen Nian was actually a martial artist, and he bought very few books, so he didn't use it much.

Instead, after Shen Tianxing came here, he always enjoyed reading, and this study became his domain.

Two years had passed, and the furnishings in the study hadn't changed. Yan Yuzhu also frequently sent people to clean it, so it didn't look old; instead, it was spotless and clean.

"Come, sit."

After inviting them to sit, Shen Tianxing looked at the two and smiled, "Miss Yaochi, this fellow is Li Tongshen. I think you already understand."

Understand what?

Li Tongshen was even more confused. He looked at the beautiful woman beside him, then at Shen Tianxing.

He had a feeling he was about to be sold off.

"Young Master..."

Before Li Tongshen could finish his sentence, Shen Tianxing interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Yaochi nodded and said, "It is indeed the Qi of my clan. I sense the Bloodline within his body, which shares the same origin as my clan."

There was no mistaking this point!

Yaochi's clan was different from others; its Legacy was ancient, existing since antiquity, and incredibly powerful!

Through countless years of Legacy, rise and fall, it had never been broken.

As long as Li Tongshen approached her, the Bloodline and Qi on his body could not be hidden and would surely resonate.

This was different from Shen Tianxing. Shen Tianxing's Cultivation had already reached the Golden Body Realm, and his Bloodline was concealed; she couldn't sense it unless he actively revealed it.

Only by using the power of his Bloodline would it be detected.

And his Qi was only considered to be of the same clan by Yaochi because he Cultivated an Incarnation.

Of course.

Even if someone deliberately concealed it, there were many ways to identify it, so it was not a big deal.

Li Tongshen didn't have so much trouble; the difference in Cultivation was too great, and he was recognized immediately.

"What? I'm of the same clan as her?"

Li Tongshen's eyes widened as he looked at the woman before him.

His body stiffened. This sudden news made him somewhat unable to accept it.

For how many years had he been considered an anomaly among the demon race, and a demon among the Human Race, constantly ostracized and targeted?

Because of this, he developed a somewhat cowardly personality.

But this was merely a form of self-protection.

He had no parents and never knew he had any family. Now, suddenly, a clansman appeared; how could he describe that feeling?

It felt a bit like a dream, too unreal!

Li Tongshen's expression and actions were all observed by Yaochi, who clearly sensed his discomfort.

Shen Tianxing did not speak, but instead gave the opportunity to explain to Yaochi.

"The Incarnation Cultivation Technique passed down in your Bloodline is a Divine Ability Cultivation Technique of my clan. Your Bloodline resonates with mine; I cannot be mistaken."

"My name is Yaochi. I came out from my clan this time specifically to find my clansmen..."

Yaochi looked at Li Tongshen and explained the entire situation in detail.

After speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Tianxing, her willow-like brows furrowing slightly, as if with regret or perhaps a touch of helplessness.

She had originally come out this time for Shen Tianxing.

Although Li Tongshen's talent was also excellent, it paled in comparison to Shen Tianxing's.

She sighed softly, then looked back at Li Tongshen.

"Although there were some unexpected twists, since you are my clansman, I will naturally take you back to acknowledge your ancestors!"

Her voice remained calm, yet it carried an undeniable sense of authority!
