The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 780-792 Returning in Sun Never Sets

“If you are eager to find out those answers, I suggest you ask him when you see him.” Shen Qiu let out a deep sigh. For all those years, he witnessed how well Shen Siyu treated Shen Yanxiao. His concern and love for her were precious. Shen Qiu did not want to see Shen Yanxiao and Shen Siyu’s relationship get ruined just because of Shen Siyu’s identity.

“I will think about it.” Shen Yanxiao gazed into the sky, deep in thought.

Brother Siyu, when we meet again, will you answer my questions?

“It is late now. Go to sleep. Forget everything you heard tonight.” Shen Qiu stood up. He cast one final glance at Shen Yanxiao and left.

Shen Yanxiao went back to her room after staying in the yard for a moment longer. The yard slowly quieted down. No one knew in that yard, an old man and a young girl discussed a secret from a dozen years ago.

The next day, sunlight cast over the earth. The Vermillion Bird Family’s new future was unveiled.

Shen Yanxiao got up early to check on Shen Feng.

She went to his room. Shen Qiu was seated by the bedside, helping Shen Feng to drink his medicine. When Shen Qiu saw Shen Yanxiao coming in, he showed a natural smile to her, as if he had shared nothing with her yesterday.

“Xiaoxiao, why did you get up so early?” Shen Feng leaned against his bed frame. On his haggard face, there was a trace of a smile.

Shen Feng did not ask what happened to Shen Duan, Shen Yue, and Shen Yifeng. It was as if they had never existed in his mind.

Shen Yanxiao dragged over a stool and sat down by Shen Feng. He said nothing but his black eyes revealed the fact that he had a sleepless night.

“I want to discuss something with you, grandpa.”

!!..
For a second, Shen Qiu was scared but he recovered his calmness immediately.

“What is it?” Shen Feng asked calmly.

“We have eliminated Ruan Yingzhe but the Vermilion Bird Family has enraged the Broken Star Palace. Considering our family’s strength, I don’t think we can withstand their retaliation.” The Broken Star Palace would not leave Ruan Yingzhe’s murder at that. Not even the five aristocratic families working together could defeat the Broken Star Palace, not to mention relying on just themselves.

Shen Feng frowned. This issue had crossed his mind as well.

“What is your plan?”

“The Broken Star Palace has vast influence. That being said, certain areas are beyond their grip. Sun Never Sets, my place in the Forsaken Land, has come into being. I am thinking about moving the Vermilion Bird Family to Sun Never Sets for the time being.” Shen Yanxiao thought about the future last night, and this was the safest plan she came up with.

Demons ran wild in the Forsaken Land. Back in the days when the four countries were on a mission to exterminate the demons, the Broken Star Palace once offered a helping hand. Yet, with all the help they could get, they could not get rid of all the demons on the Brilliance Continent. They instead just drove all the demons to the Forsaken Land. The Broken Star Palace was truly formidable. However, the number of personnels they had was limited. At that time, there were about one million demons at the Forsaken Land and over ten thousand advanced-ranked demons. That was a force that not even the Broken Star Palace could contend against.

If the Vermilion Bird Family could move to Sun Never Sets, it was unlikely that the Broken Star Palace would sally forth in full strength to get back at them.

If the Broken Star Palace only sent out several second-class experts, Xiu would take care of them easily.

“Well…” Shen Feng was hesitating. The Forsaken Land truly had a bad reputation. To some degree, the Forsaken Land could help them fend off a full-fledged attack from the Broken Star Palace but at the same time, the demons of the Forsaken Land were frightening enough.
