Chapter 9: The Vermilion Bird Family (3)

  Chapter 9: The Vermilion Bird Family (3)

  In the main house, a quiet atmosphere prevailed. Directly opposite the main entrance, Shen Feng, over sixty years old, sat upright in his chair with eyes like burning torches, exuding an aura of majesty. His temples, flecked with white hair, showed no signs of aging, but instead seemed to emanate an invisible pressure.

  On both sides of the main hall, the second-generation young masters of the Zhuque family sat upright and still. Most of them were already over forty years old, and any one of them could be considered a rare talent outside, but in front of Shen Feng, they didn't dare to show even half a hint of arrogance.

  Standing behind them were the third generation of the Zhuque family's new forces, with each face full of vigor and youthful arrogance. Those who could stand in the main house were all the best among the Zhuque family's main household. As for those with weak abilities, they had long been discarded by Shen Feng to fend for themselves. At this moment, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei stood behind a middle-aged man, quietly raising their eyes to stare at Shen Yanshao who had just entered the room.

  In the spacious main house, everyone's eyes fell on the little girl standing in front of Shen Feng.

  His unimpressive face, placed in front of the exceptionally handsome third generation of the Zhuque family, looked especially ugly. The face was filled with a confused and ignorant expression, and his thin body seemed like it would break with just one grasp. Such an ordinary and fragile person didn't seem to be the child of the Zhuque family at all.

  Soon after Shen Yan Xiao was born, the second-generation children of the Zhu Que family were filled with contempt and suspicion towards this little girl who had parents from both sides, looked different and completely violated the aesthetic standards of the Zhu Que family.

  Shen Yan Xiao's father, Shen Yu, was the youngest young master of the Zhu Que aristocratic family. He was as handsome as his name suggested, with a face as beautiful as jade, and every move he made exuded an elegant and refined charm that made many women fall for him. He was also highly accomplished in magic and had a deep love for all things elegant and refined. Even among the many talented members of the Zhu Que family, Shen Yu stood out as a singular talent, earning the high regard of Shen Feng. Shen Yu's wife, Wen Ya, was once the number one beauty of the Long Xuan Empire, and her beauty was so renowned that it was said to be capable of toppling cities and countries. Before she married, many princes and nobles vied for her attention, and some were even willing to squander their family fortunes just to win a smile from her.

  The daughter of such a golden boy and jade girl, even if she is not stunningly beautiful, absolutely cannot be an ugly duckling who can't be found in the crowd.

  As for Shen Yanxiao's origins, the Zhuque family had a lot of private discussions about it, but unfortunately, Shen Feng never expressed any attitude towards this matter, and others could only whisper a few words in secret.

  After all, in the entire Zhuque family, Shen Feng is the real person in power.

  At this moment, Shen Feng was standing tall and high above, his sharp eyes fixed on the granddaughter standing in front of him, with no ripples on his majestic face.

  With a gaze as sharp as a knife's edge, he looked up and down at his granddaughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, and Shen Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Seeing Shen Feng frowning, everyone else in the Zhu Que family secretly smiled to themselves.

  It's clear that Shen Feng has acknowledged Shen Yanshuo's identity, but he is quite displeased with this stain.

  Everyone was waiting quietly for Shen Feng to speak up, and the whole main house was silent.

  Shen Feng's gaze shifted away from Shen Yanxiao, and he spoke up, "Shen Yanxiao, you recently trespassed into the forbidden land and caused a great disaster. Do you know your crime?"

  Shen Feng's voice was low and heavy, he wasn't asking a question, but making a statement.

  In the main house, Shen Yan Xiao blinked his big eyes, looking at this "own" grandfather, without any emotion.
