“Lord Vermilion Bird has returned!”
Shen Yanxiao stepped into her own family. Every blade of grass and every tree looked familiar. She felt comfortable. This was how it felt to have a family.
Shen Feng stepped over amid the servant’s screams. Walking toward the Vermilion Bird, Shen Feng said with respect, “Welcome back, Vermilion Bird. I am sorry but I wonder why you have come back at this time and why Xiaoxiao isn’t with you.” Shen Feng was polite. He still remembered to inquire about his granddaughter’s whereabouts.
Shen Yanxiao chuckled. The Vermilion Bird threw his master a look and said, “Tell him yourself.”
Shen Yanxiao stepped forward and greeted Shen Feng. “Grandpa, I am XIaoxiao, your granddaughter.”
Shen Feng was startled. For a moment, he was in disbelief as he looked at this pretty and cute girl in front of him.
“What… is happening here?” Shen Feng felt his brain had stopped working.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. “Grandpa, this is how I look in real life. I just hid my true appearance before I went to the academy in case of unwanted troubles.”
Shen Feng finally was sure that this little gal here was his granddaughter judging by that familiar voice. He was thrilled. He looked Shen Yanxiao up and down. A pleasant surprise was glistening in his eyes as he noticed something familiar to his son and daughter-in-law in Shen Yanxiao’s eyes.
“Is it you? Why are you back?” Shen Feng could not conceal the happiness on his face.
“That is a long story. Grandpa, let us go inside for now.”
“Right… right. Hurry and get dinner ready. Xiaoxiao must be exhausted from a long journey. Tell someone to get Lady Seven’s room ready.” Shen Feng was over the moon. He gave instructions to the servants while attending to Shen Yanxiao.
The servants waiting on the side were stunned. Their silly and ugly Lady Seven had come to this astonishingly beautiful person. How?
While seized with pleasure, Shen Feng noticed Lan Fengli who was standing by Shen Yanxiao’s side. “And this is?” He asked.
Shen Yanxiao explained. “This is a younger brother I picked up. A lot of things have happened recently. I will have to tell you bit by bit.”
Shen Feng sized Lan Fengli up. This kid was somewhat ill at ease, but his looks were gorgeous and he was not impolite. Shen Feng nodded and did not utter more questions.
He took the three to his study. Shen Feng could not wait to find out what other surprises his little granddaughter could inform him of.
Since Shen Yanxiao left for the academy, Shen Feng had been concerned. She had to leave home just as her mind returned to normal. He was unwilling to let her go and yet he was forced to do so. Shen Yanxiao could not train in either battle aura of magical power. Even though she had been recognized by the Vermilion Bird, she could not convince others when she was not proficient in any line of study. He could still overpower his sons for the moment. But, when one day he was gone, Shen Yanxiao would have to take charge on her own.
That was why Shen Feng had made this decision.
The appearance of the two Phoenixes took him by surprise. He was curious as to what his granddaughter had been studying in the Saint Laurent Academy. How come she could send two mythical creatures home without so much as batting her eyes?
“Grandpa, how are the Phoenixes settling down recently?” Shen Yanxiao did not forget about the little of Phoenix’s parents.
“I believe they have made it at home. I would send my trusted subordinate to send them food regularly. I heard from them that they were quite content.” Shen Feng answered with a smile.
“Good.” Then, Shen Yanxiao picked the little Phoenix up from Vermilion Bird’s head and put it in front of Shen Feng.
