Chapter 39: Vermilion Bird Candidate (3)

Something more surprising happened later.

The sage stood up and slowly walked towards Shen Yanxiao. He bent his waist and lowered himself to his height as he looked at the little girl who was still bowing her head. He smiled as he said softly, "How old are you?"

Shen Yanxiao sensed the sage as she approached him, but as a ‘idiot,’ she should not ‘understand’ the sage's question. Therefore, he continued to stare at her nose with his head lowered. Everyone adored the wise man, but he only considered him an influential ‘penipu’. As for the impostor's good-will expression, he was more concerned about when he would leave so that he could have a chance to enter the palace and ‘put out the last’ money to buy the demon core.

If anyone knew about Shen Yanxiao's thoughts, they would probably jump out and strangle the stupid fool.

How big was the influence of the God Realm? Even the king of Longxuan Empire had to welcome them personally and not only was he unhappy with his arrival, he really hoped that the boss of the God Realm would get lost. That was truly a worrying thought!

"Ahem, Xiaoxiao is fourteen this year." Due to Shen Yanxiao's mental deficiency, Shen Feng could only reply instead.

"Fourteen years? It seems too early. " The sage gently muttered before he revealed a smile. "However, it's not impossible. Since the Family Head approved him to join as the Vermilion Bird candidate, then there should be no problem. "

Ordinary disciples would only search for their magical beasts after the age of sixteen. That was because their mental energy would only stabilize once they mature and signing a contract with a magical beast was something extremely dangerous. If their mental energy was too weak and they could not control the beast, it was highly likely that a counterattack would occur. Not only would their spirits be greatly affected, but it was likely that the magical beast would injure them.

With Shen Yanxiao's age, she was too young to be a Vermilion Bird candidate.

All the members of the third generation family were dumbfounded.

When Shen Feng gave his orders the day before, the third generation members were not there, so they did not know that Shen Yanxiao would join as a candidate to sign a contract with Vermillion Bird. They were initially confused by his appearance, but they did not expect reality to be crazier than their expectations!

What a joke, he's obviously an idiot and a scum! How could someone like him be a candidate ?!

Among the third generation disciples, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei had the worst expressions on their faces. They were candidates because they were at a suitable age, but what was with Shen Yanxiao? Not only was he stupid and worthless, but he was also clearly two years younger. Could it be that their grandfather went crazy for letting the disgrace participate in the candidacy?

Shen Jiayi's expression became twisted. He couldn't believe everything he heard.

That fool had already snatched his brother Siyu, and then, he also wanted to snatch the Vermilion Bird? Who does she think she is ?!

Among the three candidates, Shen Yifeng was the calmest and most collected. He was surprised by Shen Yanxiao's participation, but he was not as hateful as Shen Jiayi.

Even a fool would know that it was impossible for Shen Yanxiao to sign a contract with the Vermilion Bird. If they ignored his mental shortcomings, it was still impossible for him to get help from Vermilion Bird with his weak strength. Everyone knew that from generation to generation, those contracted by the Vermilion Bird were the most powerful in the family.

Chapter 40: The Snobbish Little Bird (1)

Shen Yifeng did not even bother to worry about the trash not being qualified to practice battle aura or magic.

So what if he participates as well? She would only be a buffer, and she was determined to obtain the Vermilion Bird. Moreover, even though Shen Yanxiao was trash, Shen Siyu's prospects were immeasurable. If he could get closer to Shen Siyu by being nice to that idiot, then it would take half the job and double the effect to become the successor of the Vermilion Bird Family.

Therefore, regardless of the aspect, Shen Yifeng did not have any objection for Shen Yanxiao to become a candidate. Instead, he would show concern and concern for Shen Yanxiao during that period to get on Shen Siyu's good side.

As everyone gritted their teeth at the news that Shen Yanxiao would be a candidate, the person involved was also shocked.

What did Shen Feng do? When was he pulled into the muddy water as well?

Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Although she was desperate to cheat and obtain the supposedly powerful Vermilion Bird, she was very clear about her status in the family. For him to have the chance of meeting the Vermilion Bird was even more difficult than meeting with the king. However, ridiculous things happened and Shen Feng actually put his name on the list.

Did he suffer a brain stroke?

Regardless of how dissatisfied everyone was, they also realized that whatever decision Shen Feng made had no room for discussion. So, they could only hide their dissatisfaction in their minds.

The date for the Lava Valley was set to be three days later. Initially, Shen Yue and the others were furious about Shen Yanxiao's candidacy, but Shen Yue immediately appeared. So what if Shen Yanxiao was given the right to the nomination? With that idiot's strength, if he could sign a contract with Vermilion Bird, wouldn't that mean everyone could do it too?

After Shen Yue came, he immediately calmed Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei. When the two brats thought they heard their father's analysis, they felt a little better. Shen Feng's decision to add Shen Yanxiao to the list was probably not a bad thing. Although Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei had average strength, it was still like a fleeting cloud when compared to a powerful opponent like Shen Yifeng.

If there were only three of them fighting over the Vermilion Bird, they would very likely suffer a crushing defeat under Shen Yifeng's strength when the time came. Furthermore, the contest would take place in front of the sages and wouldn't that mean they would humiliate their families? With Shen Yanxiao in the last place, they were confident that they would destroy her even if they did not have the strength to defeat Shen Yifeng. With trash as a buffer, they could still maintain their reputation in the presence of wise people.

Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei were secretly delighted, and Shen Yifeng did not even care about the incident.

It was because they knew that Shen Yanxiao's existence was to accentuate their extraordinary abilities. It would only become famous if there was a striking comparison.

As for Shen Yanxiao, who was considered by others as just a buffer, she felt lost as she sat on the chair and propped up her chin with her hands.

‘What exactly did Shen Feng mean that prompted me to stand before Vermilion Bird? Even if I can ‘save’ the faces of those two brats in the presence of the sages, I am still part of the family. I don't feel like letting an idiot lose face is better than letting those two kids lose face. ‘

Chapter 41: The Snobbish Little Bird (2)

How could Shen Yanxiao not know about Shen Yue and the opinions of others?

However, as an outsider, Shen Yanxiao thought of many things deeper than Shen Yue.

If it was just to prevent the Vermilion Bird Family from feeling shame in the presence of a wise man, then they would lose face, even if he was not on the list.

Shen Yifeng had no plans to go soft on the twins, even if Shen Yanxiao did not participate in the contest and it was an inevitable fact for the twins to be destroyed. With her image as trash that had no brains or strength, she would only be more humiliating compared to the twins.

Therefore, Shen Yanxiao knew that Shen Feng added his name into the contest for another purpose.

"Whatever the reason, this is a great opportunity for you. So why should you be confused by his intentions? " Xiu's voice was still ice-cold like snow. According to him, there is no need to consider the circumstances. No matter what Shen Feng's intentions were, it was a golden opportunity given by the heavens for him to have the opportunity to stand before the Vermilion Bird.

Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. Xiu behaved as if the Vermilion Bird was guaranteed to be his, but he was not confident.

He had just arrived in this world for a short time, and he was not even clear about the concept of a magical beast, let alone a mythological beast standing at the top of the food chain?

"Opportunities should also be held. Didn't you hear them say that Vermilion Bird had been asleep for hundreds of years? None of them can get his help and only with my current physical condition "It is a good thing to have confidence, but blind confidence will only lead to disaster. Although Shen Yanxiao was convinced, she was very careful in dealing with unusual problems.

It had become his habit and made him succeed repeatedly and not be arrested. As the goddess of thieves, skill was important, but sufficient preparation beforehand was also a must.

To him, the Vermilion Bird was like a hundred-carat diamond stored in a very dangerous place that he had never heard of.

There's a lot of good stuff. However, they were only considered as good items if he was confident that he could obtain them.

"It's just a little bird." Xiu snorted and disapproved of Shen Yanxiao's excessive vigilance.

Here it is again …

It was definitely a kind of recognition for the Vermilion Bird Mythology to be called ‘little bird’, when a certain master considered an eight-level magical beast as ‘little beast’.

Shen Yanxiao remained silent, but Xiu's words made her think of something. He hesitated and asked, "From your tone, you know Vermilion Bird?"

There was no surging voice with Xiu's voice as he spoke in a aloof and distant tone. "It's not worth knowing him. I only know about his master. "

Shen Yanxiao's eyes sparkled!

Xiu's identity was full of mysteries, and with his understanding of Xiu during this period, he knew that he had an arrogant personality. If he were to say that he was familiar with the Vermilion Bird master, then he would definitely really know him!

Speaking of

How old is that guy? The Vermilion Bird had not reappeared in the world for a hundred years, and if Xiu knew its owner, then it must have been something that happened over a hundred years ago.

If Xiu had lived in this world a hundred years ago, wouldn't that mean he was over a hundred years old ?!

Shen Yanxiao could not believe that the slightly cold and uncheerful voice that seemed to belong to a young man was actually from ‘old man’ who was over a hundred years old! He sounded like he was still in his early twenties!
