Chapter 171: Chapter 168 Plants vs. Zombies
“What does that mean?”

Shen Mi obviously didn’t understand the words of Jiang Cheng.

A normal person whose talismans were pirated would be furious, gather evidence, or negotiate in person.

But this young man named Jiang Cheng, not only did not fight for the rights of his talismans, but “specially visited to kindly remind.”

Shen Mi had rolled in the bureaucratic and commercial spheres of the Capital for more than two hundred years, claiming to have seen countless people was not an exaggeration, but he had never seen someone handle things like Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng stood up, ready to leave, but before he left, he turned to Shen Menghan and said, “Shen, your father probably won’t believe my words, but I am serious.”

Shen Menghan wasn’t foolish, although Shen Mi did not make it explicit, she could see that her father must have plagiarized the talismans Jiang Cheng had invented.

Moreover, she seemed to have helped her father steal Jiang Cheng’s talismans without knowing it.

Shen Menghan’s emotions were extremely complicated at the moment, she was unsure whether she should stand by kin or principle, or by principle rather than kin.

“Jiang Cheng, why don’t you just keep the six million,” urged Shen Menghan.

If Jiang Cheng could take the six million, she would feel much better about it.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, “Shen, as for the talisman plagiarism, I believe you were probably unaware. So we’re still more or less friends, especially since you have helped me before, and I have always remembered that. However, today I really just came to warn your father, there’s still time if he stops now.”

After finishing his words, Jiang Cheng greeted Shen Mi and Wang Xiaoqiu, then left.

Yue Linger took a deep look at Shen Menghan before she left.

She could have said more, but she chose to keep silent.

Others might not understand Jiang Cheng’s “gentle reminder,” but as someone who had been involved in the Fishing Talisman incident from start to finish, Yue Linger understood all too well.

Some people might think that Jiang Cheng was just a bit strange in his approach to creating talismans, nothing too impressive. How powerful could a rank one talisman be? Any rank two Talisman Master could modify it or solve it at will, what’s so impressive about that?

Is this the protagonist of the novel? Too weak, no sense of identification.

Those who think that way truly don’t understand Jiang Cheng.

The most formidable thing about Jiang Cheng was not his ability to create talismans.

It was his despair-inducing, law-abiding consciousness.

As the Fishing Talisman incident escalated, it not only dragged in the Aquatic Tribe and the Sea Tribe, but also made the Liang Kingdom and the Tongtian Sect like ants on a hot pan, incredibly anxious.

Countless high-level Cultivators were led around by the nose by Jiang Cheng’s Fishing Talismans.

In the end, those who were dismissed were dismissed, those who were scolded were scolded, and those who were punished were punished.

The only true culprit, the inventor of the Fishing Talisman Jiang Cheng, was left untouched. The Court and the Tongtian Sect combed through the laws and couldn’t find the slightest fault with him.

Jiang Cheng’s talismans were very powerful.

But these powerful talismans could only be controlled by Jiang Cheng himself.

If others dared to covet them, they would likely not even be able to keep their whole corpse.

Because they lacked Jiang Cheng’s talent to embody the law and rules and still do as he pleased.

Yue Linger finally understood why Jiang Cheng had never worried after learning that his talismans had been plagiarized.

Because there was simply nothing to worry about.

Letting fruit trees roam without a leash, the trees themselves would bite the untouchable people from Miaodan Workshop.

In a world where the Five Great Immortal Sects work together to maintain order, those who do not respect the rules only get bitten back by them.

After Jiang Cheng left, the atmosphere in the Shen Residence became very tense.

Shen Menghan couldn’t lose her temper in front of Jiang Cheng, but now that he was gone, she had nothing to worry about.

“Dad! When you asked me to inquire about the talismans from Jiang Cheng, was it for the purpose of pirating the Plant Autonomy Talisman?”

Shen Mi rubbed his temples and said, “Hanhan, Dad didn’t pirate anything, Dad used your Uncle Wang’s Self-Enhancement Talisman.”

Shen Menghan wasn’t a fool, and she directly said, “Don’t think that I don’t know you two are in this together!”

Shen Mi no longer pretended, “Hanhan, Jiang Cheng sells a talisman for fifteen hundred, he never really wanted to cooperate properly with Dad’s Miaodan Workshop. Dad already gave him six million, and he was ungrateful. Is that Dad’s fault? Jiang Cheng is too greedy, his appetite is too big, Dad can’t satisfy him. The Self-Enhancement Talisman was only forced out by Jiang Cheng, Dad had no choice.”

Shen Menghan choked out, “But you can’t plagiarize Jiang Cheng! He also worked hard to research it.”

Shen Mi ran out of nice things to say and bluntly stated, “Then go side with Jiang Cheng and sue Dad at the government office. Dad deserves to go to prison for this family, for you.”

Shen Menghan gritted her teeth and said, “I will sue, just wait!”

Watching Shen Menghan’s retreating back, Wang Xiaoqiu got a bit panicked.

“Master Shen, your daughter, she won’t…”

Shen Mi pressed his palm and said, “She won’t, I know exactly what kind of person Hanhan is. Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, indecisive, a girl’s mentality is all. She made a bigger fuss in the past when she was forced to marry, remember? What happened in the end? If she had the heart to leave me and her mother, she would have run away from home a long time ago. Right now, she is probably hiding somewhere crying, she’ll be alright in a while.”

“However, what Jiang Cheng said earlier, it makes me a bit concerned,” Shen Mi looked at Wang Xiaoqiu, “What do you think he meant by that?”

Wang Xiaoqiu, who had fought countless talisman lawsuits, didn’t take a kid like Jiang Cheng seriously at all.

“What could he mean? He knows he can’t win, so he’s just dropping a harsh line.”

Shen Mi nodded, he also felt that Jiang Cheng was just saving face, saying a few incomprehensible things to salvage his honor.

In this deceitful world, how could there possibly be someone who would actually warn their opponent?

Miaodan Workshop plagiarized Jiang Cheng’s talismans, Jiang Cheng not taking his revenge on them would already make him a saint, would he really kindly warn Miaodan Workshop?
