Chapter 579: Conspiracy (1)

Shen Yue and Shen Duan did not go to the dining hall, but they were in the same room at that moment.

She Yue scowled and clenched his fists.

The look in Shen Duan’s eyes was unfathomable.

“Second Brother, I can’t stand this. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d hit Shen Jiayi. I would fail as her father if I cannot avenge her.” A few days ago, Shen Yue received a letter from Shen Jiawei. In the letter, Shen Jiawei wrote in detail about what had happened to Shen Jiayi and the shocking change that had occurred to Shen Yanxiao. Shen Yue almost lost his mind when he read the letter. He wished he could capture Shen Yanxiao and tear her into pieces.

However, even though Shen Yanxiao was home, his second brother, Shen Duan, had prohibited him from his revenge.

Shen Duan said, “I know that you care about Shen Jiayi. She is my niece and I was there as she grew up. Of course, my heart ached for her as well. Bu,t Shen Yanxiao has become an advanced warlock, and you are only an advanced swordsman. It would not be easy to do anything to her here. Our father would always protect her, and we should not mess with the Vermilion Bird. You will fail if you try to do anything now.”

Shen Yue bit his lips.

“Am I supposed to stand on the side helplessly as that b.a.s.t.a.r.d hurt my daughter? Second Brother, who was Shen Yanxiao? She was just a dog in our family. Even a servant was more valuable than she had been. But look at her now. How long has it only been? She had managed to gain the Vermilion Bird’s favor, and she would become our Family Head. Now, for some mysterious reasons, she could even train in magical powers and had become an advanced warlock. She even won the Inter-academy Tournament. If we let her go on like this, do you think we’ll still have a place in the family? We both know how we treated Shen Yanxiao before this. Our children will never have their day as long as Shen Yanxiao is still in the picture!” Shen Yue wished he could whack Shen Yanxiao into pieces. On the other hand, Shen Duan’s words made sense. If Shen Yue were to take any action against Shen Yanxiao at that time, he would probably lose his life.

Shen Duan frowned. It was remarkable to see the transformation in Shen Yanxiao. The kid they had neglected for more than ten years had gone through such changes in half a year. That was far beyond Shen Duan’s control.

In recent years, his son, Shen Yifeng, had always been the one to gain the most admiration amongst the younger generation. Shen Duan was even convinced that his son would inherit the Vermilion Bird Family because of his strength.

No one could have antic.i.p.ated that Shen Yanxiao would come forward and take away everything that was meant for his son one day.

It was not something he could accept.

“Don’t worry. I will not let her enjoy a comfortable life. This is not a good time for us to do anything against her. However, that does not mean that we are letting her off the hook.” A glint of malicious intent flashed in Shen Duan’s eyes.

Shen Yue did not know that his brother was that sophisticated. Since the accidental death of Shen Feng’s first son, their eldest brother Shen Xi, and his entire family, Shen Yue had had the feeling that Shen Duan was a dangerous person. However, they were on the same boat. Shen Yue was quite curious to find out what Shen Duan would do against Shen Yanxiao.

“Second Brother, please enlighten me.”

Shen Duan picked up the teacup and casually took a sip. “You do know that all winners of the Inter-academy Tournament must go to the Forsaken Land, right?”
