Chapter 77: Hidden Care (1)

  Innumerable clues were linked together in Shen Yanxiao's mind, gradually making the thoughts in her heart clear.

  Just as she was thinking about these things, Shen Feng suddenly called out to her.

  "Shen Ye, you're in charge of entertaining the guests from the Divine Realm. If Shen Ling Zhu Que has any requests, you must satisfy them immediately. Everyone else, just do your own thing! Xiao Xiao, come with me to the study."

  ……

  Shen Yan Xiao's first time entering Shen Feng's study, the simple room had only a desk, and rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books. The Zhu Que family was very wealthy, but Shen Feng was unexpectedly frugal, he wouldn't mistreat anyone in his family, yet he was very thrifty with himself.

  "Sit down." Shen Feng smiled as he looked at Shen Yanshao.

  Xian Yan Xiao Yi sat down and said nothing, she didn't know why Shen Feng called her over, so she could only wait for Shen Feng to speak first.

  Shen Feng took out a scroll from behind his desk and handed it to Shen Yanshao.

  Shen Yan unfolded the painting, on which a pair of men and women were painted. They stood shoulder to shoulder, with the man looking like he was in his early twenties, having an exceptionally handsome face that was hundreds of times more attractive than Shen Yifeng's. Although it was just a painting, the man's handsome face seemed vividly lifelike, with smiling eyes that made people feel good. The woman leaning against him appeared petite and delicate, with a lovely face and a pair of lively big eyes that were very likable. The woman's facial features were flawless and beyond criticism, like an immortal who had fallen to the mortal world, making it hard for people to look away.

  The two people in the picture look perfectly fake.

  "They were your parents, unfortunately they left this world shortly after you were born." Shen Feng's voice was low and filled with regret.

  Shen Yan Xiao was astonished, she finally understood why Shen Yue and the others had always said that she wasn't Shen Yu's child. A couple as outstanding as them, how could they have given birth to a child with such an ordinary appearance? Not to mention Shen Yue and Shen Lian, even Shen Yan Xiao herself began to doubt her own identity at this moment.

  "I am not like them."

  Shen Feng smiled and said: "Although you don't look like them, but after you recover normally, your smile has the shadow of your father."

  Shen Yan Xiao touched his own ordinary and unremarkable face, finding it hard to believe that his smile actually resembled the man in the painting.

  Her appearance is indeed that of an ugly duckling, and the two people in the painting are not even worthy of being described as white swans.

  Even if it's a genetic mutation, this is still too far-fetched. In this era, there's no such thing as plastic surgery, and these two people are obviously born with perfect looks. So how can her appearance as a daughter make people feel... shocked?

  Shen Yan pouted, heaven was really unfair to her. With such parents who were divine companions, she had actually become like this now, and it was truly a waste of her parents' stunning looks.

  "Your father was my youngest son and also my pride. I once hoped that if one day the Vermilion Bird could be awakened, he would definitely become its master. He is very intelligent and has a high talent for Dou Qi. Everyone says that Yifeng is a genius of the Vermilion Bird family who appears only once in a hundred years, but compared to your father, he falls short by too much." Shen Feng stood behind Shen Yanxiao, looking at his son on the painting scroll, his former pride and joy, now forever separated from him. Even Shen Feng couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.
