Chapter 744: Family (2)
Shen Yanxiao said, “Fifth Uncle, I won’t leave. I will rescue all of you.”
Shen Ling revealed a bitter smile.
“Xiaoxiao, your grandfather and I are glad with the thought alone. However, the current situation does not allow you to interfere. Please, you must leave here before they notice you.”
Shen Yanxiao did not respond to him. She directly walked to the railings and fiddled with the lock.
With a click, the gates of the cell opened, and she entered.
“Fifth Uncle, I will never leave. Rather than wasting your breath persuading me, why don’t you tell me what had happened here?” Shen Yanxiao walked to Shen Ling’s side and squatted down to look at the unconscious Shen Feng. She then raised her hand and poured in her battle aura on behalf of Shen Ling.
“You little brat…” Shen Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry when he looked at the stubborn Shen Yanxiao as he lamented in his heart. That little girl, who had been ridiculed by the entire family, had unexpectedly taken such huge risks to come forth and save them. While on the other hand, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who had been well-treated in the Vermilion Bird Family had committed such an unfilial act of rebellion.
Honestly speaking, life was really unpredictable.
While Shen Yanxiao poured in her battle aura, she checked on Shen Feng’s condition.
True to what Shen Yifeng said, Shen Feng’s internal organs were deteriorating and his battle aura was chaotic and thin. If Shen Ling had not continuously infused his battle aura, Shen Feng would not have survived until now.
The clearer she was about Shen Feng’s current situation, the more Shen Yanxiao had the urge to kill.
Shen Duan and Shen Yue completely disregarded Shen Feng’s life or death. He had been injured to such an extent, and yet they still did not invite people to treat him?
“Fifth Uncle, tell me what exactly had happened. Why are you all in such a situation?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the few down-and-out bodyguards seated in the corner. They were all confidants of Shen Ling and they all looked spiritless and injuries covered their bodies.
When they saw Shen Yanxiao, they all revealed traces of surprise and helplessness.
Shen Ling bitterly smiled and said, “It’s all because of Shen Duan and Shen Yue, those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Shen Duan has always schemed to push his son up to the Family Head position. And amongst the younger generation, Shen Yifeng’s talents were considered the best. At first, your grandfather was also willing to hand the family to him, but all of a sudden, you appeared. Not only did you regain your wisdom, you had also signed a contract with Vermilion Bird. But, Shen Duan is a sinister man, so how could he possibly allow someone else to take the Family Head position from his son?”
“But your grandfather had made up his mind then, and no one could change it. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d was like a cornered dog and so, he did something desperate, which was to join hands with the Broken Star Palace to launch a sneak attack on your grandfather. Even though your grandfather’s confidants and I had fought with our lives at stake, we were unable to reverse the situation. After we were defeated, Shen Duan locked us up here after he obtained a stranglehold over the Vermilion Bird Family.” Shen Ling’s every single word was saddening. He never imagined that his biological brother to be such devoid of conscience and to rebel just for the Family Head position
Shen Yanxiao gnashed his teeth in anger. There were at least hundreds of men under Shen Feng and Shen Ling, but those who managed to survive were only five of them here in the cell. She could imagine how b.l.o.o.d.y the battle was on the day of the incident.
“Uncle, what kind of place is the Broken Star Palace?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
Shen Ling hesitantly looked at Shen Yanxiao and ultimately sighed.
“The Broken Star Palace is similar to the G.o.d Realm. However, the G.o.d Realm is known to all, but only several know of the existence of the palace.”
