Unless they had to, otherwise they would not let a third person know about that.

“Brother Siyu, Fifth Uncle, you have traveled such a long distance; let me prepare some food and drink for you. You may rest here for the time being.” Shen Yanxiao said with a smile after she kept her emotions in check.

Except for Shen Feng, if anyone else deserved her concern, then it was the brother who had always showered her with care, even when she was only an idiot.

Even though she did not have much contact with Shen Siyu, she could sense his genuine care and concern for her.

“There’s no need to bother, we’ve already eaten on our way here. Your fourth uncle is also here, but he went ahead to the Magic Division and the Battle Aura Division.” Shen Siyu smiled as he shook his head. He did not wish to trouble his little sister the moment they met.

When he mentioned Shen Yue, Shen Yanxiao displayed an air of indifference. She knew that he would visit his unruly children, and if it were possible, she would not want to meet him too.

Then Shen Siyu pulled Shen Yanxiao aside to ask about her situation in the Herbalist Division. When she rea.s.sured him that everything was well, he looked relieved.

As for Shen Ling, he was as mute as a fish. He merely stood at the side while he listened to their conversation.

Shen Ling was somewhat surprised. He did not know much about his niece, and he only regarded her as his sixth brother’s child. Idiot or otherwise, she was still his younger brother’s descendant. However, he never paid any attention to any gossip in the family as he only cared for his responsibilities. That was why he did not pay much attention to her presence at home.

Shen Yanxiao might have been an idiot in the past, but her changes in those few months would shock anyone.

Unfortunately, before he could understand more about his young niece, she had already left for the Saint Laurent Academy. Since he had the chance to meet her that day, Shen Ling wanted to reexamine her based on her conversation with Shen Siyu. She was only 14 years old, but she conversed like an adult. Her words and speech were appropriate, and it could even alleviate one’s worry for her.

When he compared Shen Yanxiao with Shen Yue’s two unruly kids, he felt that those two had lived up to that description as they were proud and arrogant. They always required the adults to worry for them too.

After they had conversed for a short while, they heard a wave of footsteps outside the door.

Then, someone kicked the door to Shen Yanxiao’s dormitory room.

Shen Yue stood the entrance like he was high and mighty above everyone else. His two children, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei, trailed behind him.

“Why are you still here? What’s there to talk about with this tras… brat.” Shen Yue furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at Shen Yanxiao. Even though Shen Feng had already made her the next family head, Shen Yue was still unconvinced. He always thought that she had obtained the Vermilion Bird by chance.

Furthermore, he did not have any respect for a brat like her.

In his mind, Shen Yanxiao was still that idiotic trash.

Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei stood behind their father like two prideful peac.o.c.ks. It was evident that they had walked out of their defeat and continued to look down on Shen Yanxiao as usual.

“Fourth Brother, why are you in a rush?” Before Shen Siyu and Shen Yanxiao could say anything, Shen Ling threw a look of disapproval at his brother.

Shen Ling was old-fas.h.i.+oned. Regardless of Shen Yanxiao’s abilities, since she had been confirmed as the next family head, then he would treat her like one.
