However, it still felt somewhat unusual for him to see ‘Shen Jue’ with Shen Yanxiao’s appearance.
“Yes it’s me, Teacher Luo De and Teacher Ye Qing. What has happened to my grandfather? Please tell me!” Shen Yanxiao’s heartbeat sped up. Shen Feng was her only family member in her two lives. She could not imagine how heartbroken she would feel if something bad were to befall on Shen Feng.
A trace of hesitation appeared on Luo De and Ye Qing’s expressions. They did not expect Shen Yanxiao to appear here right now, but they had already mentioned Shen Feng’s condition in their conversation earlier on, so even if they wanted to hide it, it would probably be futile.
Ye Qing sighed and looked at Shen Yanxiao in all seriousness. “I can tell you, but promise me to remain calm. You cannot be impulsive.”
“Ok!” Shen Yanxiao decisively answered.
“Several days ago, Luo De delivered a batch of potions to the Emperor in the capital and while he was there, he had heard of some rumors about the Vermilion Bird Family. It seems like a great tribulation has happened to the Vermillion Bird Family with the current Family Head’s sons, Shen Yue and Shen Duan, suddenly rebelling and pushing your grandfather down from his position before putting him under house arrest. Luo De specially went to inquire about it, and a guard mentioned that Shen Feng was rightfully furious that his two sons had rebelled, so he tried to quell the rebellion but he failed. As a result, he incurred rather severe injuries. Thinking about the rumors that would spread the moment they injured their father, Shen Duan and Shen Yue casually found a few priests to take care of him while keeping the news of their rebellions under wraps.”
Shen Yanxiao’s expression gradually darkened as Ye Qing shared the story. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists while her pitch-black eyes were brewing with an intent to kill.
“How dare they!” Shen Yanxiao felt as if her chest was about to explode. She did not expect there to be such a tremendous change in the family when she had merely been absent for several months.
Shen Duan and Shen Yue actually had the courage to harm their father and forcefully seize the position of Family Head. Are they still humans?!
“Xiao Xiao! Calm down. Now is not the time to be rash. Both your uncles seem to have invited several experts as help and even your fifth uncle, Shen Ling, who had led the confidants of the Vermilion Bird Family to quell the rebellion had been captured. Right now, the family is under both your uncles’ control. Even if you are angry right now, you cannot be rash and you must carefully think things through. The only person who can save your grandfather and your uncles now is you. If you recklessly barge in there and challenge them, there would be no more hope for the Vermillion Bird Family” Luo De sensed Shen Yanxiao’s escalating anger and hastily pulled her arm.
“Letting emotions affect my decisions? Ha! Shen Duan and Shen Yue must be sick of living. Since they have gone this far, how can I allow them to do as they please!” Shen Yanxiao was already enraged right now. She could not bear to imagine how Shen Feng had felt after his sons rebelled against him. Even though Shen Feng was strict, he was deeply concerned about family ties. How much heartache did he feel when he looked on helplessly as his sons committed such treacherous acts?
Moreover, Shen Duan and Shen Yue, those two immoral beasts had been unwilling to invite experts to treat Shen Feng’s injuries in order to cover up their crimes?
The thought of a physically and mentally exhausted Shen Feng lying on an ice-cold bed, Shen Yanxiao could no longer suppress her overflowing killing intent.
Damn it, all of them deserve to die!
“So what if they have experts behind them? Even if they were to gather the entire army of the Longxuan Empire, I will still make them pay the price.”
