Chapter 867: Turning Over A New Leaf? (1)
Shen Jiawei s.h.i.+vered. Shen Yanxiao had changed so much that he could no longer a.s.sociate her with that pitiful girl.
It had only been a year, but the Vermilion Bird Family had undergone tremendous changes. He and Shen Jiayi were once pampered children of the Vermilion Bird Family. However, their father had rebelled and was subsequently executed. Shen Duan had also died. On the other hand, Shen Yanxiao had risen to fame. Not only did she have outstanding achievements, but she also had skills that left them in the dust. She had won the Inter-academy Tournament and built Sun Never Sets in half a year. None of them could surpa.s.s her.
When he entered Sun Never Sets, Shen Jiawei noticed the interior and exterior of the city. He was amazed by the perfection of the city, and his dissatisfaction with Shen Yanxiao had quickly turned into admiration after his recent encounters with Shen Yanxiao’s achievements.
Even though he was unscrupulous and willful, he had matured after so many setbacks.
He no longer dared to question Shen Yanxiao. Instead, he felt a subtle respect and admiration for her.
He was a year older than Shen Yanxiao, and he had been pampered since he was young. He also had his father to care for him, and he had the best food and clothing. However, he had fallen to such a state.
On the other hand, Shen Yanxiao had always been bullied by them and neglected by the Vermilion Bird Family. However, her achievements were beyond their reach.
Shen Jiawei could not help but smile bitterly. Was this really karma?
He did not expect that Shen Yanxiao would take them in. He came to Sun Never Sets because he was at his wit’s end. He did not expect that Shen Yanxiao would let bygones be bygones.
Shen Jiawei’s immature mind was flooded with indescribable complicated emotions. There was disappointment, surprise, and even more indescribable emotions.
“Thank you, City Lord.” Shen Jiawei looked up at Shen Yanxiao. He felt ashamed when he thought about how he had belittled Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Jiayi did not say a single word from the start to the end. She just allowed Shen Jiawei to take the lead.
Shen Yanxiao found Evil Wolf and asked him to arrange accommodation for Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei.
Shen Jiawei gave his thanks and dragged Shen Jiayi out of the mansion to follow Evil Wolf.
After the twins left, the five beasts finally spoke.
“Retribution is not a pleasant thing. I am amazed.” Yan Yu had a gentle personality, and he could not help but sigh when he saw what had happened to the twins.
“It seems like Shen Jiawei has matured quite a bit. They must have had a rough time during this period.” Tang Nazhi felt sorry for the pair of siblings. They had enjoyed wealth and status throughout their lives, but their family had been ruined because of their father’s misjudgement.
A prodigy fell from the clouds into the mud.
Qi Xia propped his chin and looked at Shen Yanxiao lazily.
“I thought you would kill them.”
It was Shen Yanxiao’s usual style to eliminate the weeds and the roots. He did not expect that she would let the twins off.
Paying evil with kindness?
That was not her style.
Shen Yanxiao glanced at Qi Xia and said,
“I don’t care if they live or die, but I have to be mindful of my grandfather. They have already received their due punishment. If they live their lives honestly in the future, I will naturally raise them well. But if they don’t know what’s good for them, I will not hesitate to take action.”
She no longer wanted Shen Feng to suffer the pain of losing a kin. She wanted Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei to live as a show of filial piety for Shen Feng.
