Chapter 69: Slapping Someone's Own Face (2)
His granddaughter and granddaughter sat in the carriage, and one of them had become the master of the Vermilion Bird. With the help of the mythical beast, they would be able to bring the Vermilion Bird Family back to its peak!
Shen Duan stared intently at the first carriage behind the sage because he knew that his son was inside. When the sage revealed the news of the Vermilion Bird's resurrection, Shen Duan nearly fainted from excitement. Everyone knew that his son, Shen Yifeng, was the most respected third generation disciple in the family. He was also the most powerful among the four candidates.
He was confident that his son who had successfully signed a contract with Vermilion Bird!
His son will become the future Head of the Family! That would make him the most respected elder in the Vermilion Bird Family!
Shen Duan was filled with excitement and excitement. He wanted to urge his son to get down from the carriage so that he could witness the true form of the Vermilion Bird.
When compared to Shen Duan's display of excitement, Shen Yue's expression was as dark as the pot. Shen Yue did not expect that any of his children would succeed in the search. He also knew that he did not have a good relationship with Shen Duan. If Shen Yifeng managed to obtain the Vermillion Bird, then he knew that Shen Duan would definitely make things difficult for him.
At that moment, even the excited news of Vermillion Bird's return was not enough to make Shen Yue happy.
It wasn't even her children who managed to obtain the Vermilion Bird, so why should she be happy?
A short while later, Shen Yifeng exited the carriage and dozens of excited eyes met his performance.
However, he quickly lowered his head as he did not dare to look into their eyes that were filled with hope.
Shen Feng and the rest of the family were curious about Shen Yifeng's behavior. Although Shen Yifeng was usually quite calm and composed, he would not behave as he did if he obtained the Vermilion Bird. His evasive behavior caused doubt in everyone's heart.
"Yifeng, you're finally back. Where's the Vermilion Bird? Why isn't he by your side? I'm guessing you've remembered it inside of you. Haha, little brat, hurry up and call the Vermilion Bird so that your grandfather can see it. " Shen Duan had been overwhelmed with excitement, and he had never thought that his son would fail to get help from the Vermilion Bird. Therefore, he did not pay attention to Shen Yifeng's abnormal behavior. Instead, he walked towards her with a smile and urged her to call Vermilion Bird.
His father's enthusiasm made Shen Yifeng even more embarrassed by the situation. There was even bitterness on his handsome and charming face.
"I ..." Shen Yifeng did not know how to answer his father. Everyone put their hopes on him, but he …
Shen Duan finally realized Shen Yifeng's hesitation, and when he saw Shen Yifeng's evasive gaze, he knew something was wrong.
"Yifeng, don't tell me you didn't get ..." Shen Duan was startled by his own thoughts, but before he could finish his sentence, Shen Yifeng hurriedly nodded and turned around.
It was as if a pot of cold water had been poured on him, and it extinguished Shen Duan's emotion of excitement.
How come? His son was the most outstanding disciple among Vermilion Bird's third generation disciples, so how could he not get Vermilion Bird's help? How could he possibly lose to Shen Yue's children ?! He knew all about the bad behavior of Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei and with their mediocre talent, how could they win against his son ?!
Chapter 70: Slapping Someone's Own Face (3)
Shen Duan did not want to believe it, but Shen Yifeng's evasive behavior and embarrassed gaze confirmed his speculation.
Shen Duan's skin turned pale white in an instant.
While some are happy, others are sad. When Shen Duan was excited, Shen Yue could only quietly endure his suffering. However, when Shen Duan was depressed, Shen Yue could not hide the smile that enveloped his lips.
What would be called that?
When the time comes, luck will change!
Shen Yue wanted to laugh wildly. Shen Duan had managed to humiliate himself badly! Everyone believed that Shen Yifeng would be the winner, but he ended up as a big joke! Shen Yifeng's defeat means there is hope for his children!
Only four of them went for the search, and two of them were his children. Shen Yifeng had suffered defeat, and Shen Yanxiao was not even in the equation. If that was the case, then Vermilion Bird could only choose one of his children!
No matter who was chosen by Vermilion Bird, it was unexpected good news for Shen Yue!
Every dog has its day. Shen Duan had been suppressing him for so many years, and it was the day that he could raise his head up high!
Shen Yue forcefully held the excitement in his heart. He walked towards Shen Duan and patted him on the shoulder with false sympathy. "Second brother, don't get too upset. Maybe it wasn't Yifeng's luck this time. Since we are all a family, it is the same no matter who gets help from the Vermilion Bird. We will all benefit from it. "
Shen Duan glared at Shen Yue.
‘What a hypocritical pretense. Don't assume that I'm ignoring what you're thinking deep down. I'm honestly confused about what happened. For some reason, Vermilion Bird did not choose my esteemed son, and it benefits your two unruly children‘.
"You're right, they're all members of the Vermilion Bird Family, and it's the same no matter who gets the mythical beast," Shen Feng said. Shen Yifeng's failure was indeed beyond his expectations, but since the sage had already congratulated him, he wasn't worried about it. He did not want his two sons to embarrass themselves in front of the wise man.
"Yes." Yeah." Shen Duan gritted his teeth and swallowed his dissatisfaction.
Shen Yue did not continue to mock Shen Duan but smiled as he looked towards the carriage where his children were.
However, his expression darkened when he realized that Shen Jiayi had to be supported by an attendant as he got down from his carriage.
Then, it's Shen Jiawei?
If she had a choice, Shen Yue would rather her son get help from Vermilion Bird. After all, Shen Jiayi was a woman, and she had to marry someone in the future.
Shen Yue decided to deal with his daughter first and ordered someone to bring Shen Jiayi home to rest. Then he impatiently waited for his son to appear.
In his mind, he thought about how Shen Duan and Shen Yifeng should get lost as far as possible. His son would be the successor of the Vermilion Bird Family, and he wanted to see what kind of trouble the hypocritical father and son duo could cause.
It was time for him to give Shen Duan a reply for everything he had done to him over the years.
Shen Yue wanted to continue his fantasy, but Shen Jiawei's performance had shattered his dreams.
Similarly, he was helped out of the carriage by an officer. Shen Jiawei was full of scars and seemed to have fared no better than Shen Jiayi!
None of the previous masters of the Vermilion Bird returned with scars after they finished the contract with the mythical beast!
Chapter 71: I Hate Getting the Most Carsick (1)
It was obvious that Shen Jiawei had also failed!
Shen Yifeng had lost, while Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei had also suffered a crushing defeat. However, the sage had confirmed that he had successfully awakened Vermilion Bird.
There was no doubt that Vermillion Bird would choose one candidate among the few of them as his master if he woke up. That means …
Everyone looked at the second to last carriage, and they realized who was inside.
Could it?!
Shen Yanxiao was in no hurry because she did not want to get out of the carriage at all. It was not because he did not want his feet to touch the ground anymore, but because
Ough! The arrogant and proud Vermilion Bird had pale skin as he hugged the wooden bucket and vomited.
Who would have thought that such an amazing mythical beast would be drunken on travel ?!
After they started their journey, Vermilion Bird started to look pale as his palms started to sweat and then he started to vomit not long after. What irritated Shen Yanxiao was the stinky little bird that refused to return to her body. After the magical beast signed a contract with its master, they could turn their physical body into mental energy to stay within its master. Since the movement of the carriage was too heavy for him, he could obediently choose to stay in it.
However, it seemed like he was a stubborn little bird. He chose Shen Yanxiao because he had no other choice, but he did not have the strength to make her submit to him willingly. They want him to live in a weak human like him? He was unwilling to do that, even if he was beaten to death.
Since he had no other choice, the Vermilion Bird puked all the way back to the Vermilion Bird Family compound.
How could he still have a trace of arrogance on his charming face? Her little face was completely devoid of color, and her red eyes were beaming with tears that made her look so sad that one would get hurt if one were to see her.
If one were to describe his current appearance in the modern world, they would call him …
So adorable!
Of course, Shen Yanxiao would never treat Vermilion Bird like the adorable animal that one would nurture. He recalled the scene where the little bird almost killed Shen Jiayi clearly. He did not even blink when attacking her, and he only looked adorable because he was sick from the trip.
If possible, Shen Yanxiao wanted to look up and laugh at him wildly.
‘Serve you correctly!’
"Hey, are you done vomiting? We've arrived, and we can go down now. " Shen Yanxiao propped up her chin. He didn't mind if the others had to wait longer for them, but he didn't want to stay in a carriage filled with vomit!
"You're noisy if you want to get off go yourself. Would it kill you if I sat here any minute. " The Vermilion Bird wanted to kick his new master out of the carriage violently, but he was too slow to even move his finger.
‘This damned train. I will never ride him again! Next time, I'll fly here myself! ‘
Shen Yanxiao's mouth twitched. After he gave his orders to the esteemed officer standing on one side, he took the lead and exited the carriage.
When he stuck his head out of the carriage, many pairs of eyes that revealed complicated emotions suddenly turned towards him.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows.
Why were those people acting as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight?
Shen Feng looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face in surprise. Although Shen Yanxiao was usually not valued in the Vermilion Bird Family, it did not mean that she would not remember what her grandson looked like. He still looked dull and unattractive, but his usual blank expression had intelligence in it. Her reddish lips were slightly raised, and although she would not be considered beautiful, others might find her sweet.
