Chen Yan put away the storage ring and ignored the Shen family's eldest elder and others.

At the moment of turning around, Chen Yan said to Hong Ri and Yin Yue: "You two stay at the Shen family and tell the young master that I am fine."

She had always been used to being alone, and if she took the two of them with her, how would she arrange for them to go if she avenged the original owner and wanted to leave Nanxiao Country? It would be better for them to stay in the familiar Shen family.

She smiled at them and said, "If Daddy blames you, just tell him that this was all my idea and it has nothing to do with you."

Hong Ri's eyes were blurred with tears, and he said firmly: "Miss, we are willing to follow you!"

"Go back."

Chen Yan said lightly.

Then she started to leave.

"Miss!" Hongri and Yinyue followed her reluctantly and worriedly.

But at this time, the eldest elder of the Shen family sneered. He felt that Chen Yan was just acting. If she left the Shen family, where would she find shelter?

The Great Elder's voice was loud and sarcastic, saying, "Chen Yan, if you leave today, don't come back! Even if the Young Master wants to bring you back, you'd better have the guts to not come back! The Shen family is nothing without a piece of trash, but you, Chen Yan, without the protection of the Shen family, you'll lose your most solid backing! The choice you make today will be the stupidest decision of your life!"

Chen Yan didn't even look back at him.

She doesn't like the Shen family, and her only attachment is to Shen Tianhao and Shen Huai.

Under the insistence of Hongri and Yinyue, Chenyan had no choice but to let them follow.

The six guards who were originally sent by Shen Tianhao to protect Shen Yan, seeing this situation, tried their best to keep Shen Yan and did not want her to leave.

"Miss……"

Chen Yan interrupted their persuasion: "Go back and tell your young master that I don't like staying in the Shen family. If you want me to be happier, then don't worry about me completely severing ties with the Shen family. He and brother A Huai will always be my closest people."

After saying that, Chen Yan took Hong Ri and Yin Yue and left without any hesitation.

Everyone was shocked to see that she had really left.

They all thought Chen Yan was crazy and extremely stupid!

"Chen Yan, this loser, really wants to break off relations with the Shen family! She actually has so much gold! A full 50,000 taels of gold, my God!"

"How does she have so much gold?"

“It must have been given to her by Shen Tianhao!”

Everyone was talking about it.

The Shen family's eldest elder looked at Chen Yan's gradually receding back, narrowed his eyes, and sneered.

How long can she stay outside? Sooner or later, she will beg to go back to the Shen family!

At this moment, the Shen family's eldest elder did not know that he would be the one to humbly kneel down and beg Chen Yan to return to the Shen family...

…

The news that Chen Yan severed ties with the Shen family spread throughout Nanxiao Country, attracting the attention of many people and even overshadowing Shen Xue's birthday party.

The head of the Shen family and many elders naturally knew about this, but they didn't take it to heart. They thought Chen Yan was just throwing a tantrum.

After Shen Xue learned about this, her red lips curled up slightly. She lowered her eyes and smiled, as if talking to herself: "How could there be such a stupid person in the world? Without the protection of the Shen family, she will die very quickly..."

She sighed.

Shen Xue slowly raised her hand and looked at the wound on the back of her hand that had not yet healed completely. This wound was the evidence that she had exchanged for the blood in Chen Yan's body.

She actually likes this scar.

Because this is the symbol of her victory.

She lowered her voice and said, "Chen Yan, the day Qiu Tianzong holds the competition will be the day you die."

And just at this moment——

A maid's voice came from outside the door.

"My lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Young Master of the Lu Family, Prince Nangong, and Princess Ying have already arrived and have personally delivered the birthday gifts."

Shen Xue's smile deepened when she heard this.

She said in her heart: Chenyan, ah Chenyan, you have a home but cannot return to it, but I can gain a foothold in the Shen family. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes me. Compared with me, you are just mud.

Shen Xue's eyes dimmed. She was better than many people, but she just couldn't let go of her identity as an adopted daughter, so she hated Chen Yan very much!

Shen Xue most wanted to be recognized by Shen Tianhao and Shen Huai, but no matter how good they were to her, there was always an insurmountable gap between them. She felt that the gap was Shen Yan!

…

It was already evening when Shen Tianhao received the news that his daughter had severed ties with the Shen family.

Shen Tianhao was originally anxious, but after hearing what the guards conveyed on behalf of Shen Yan, his breathing stagnated and he fell into a long silence.

A white-haired old man sat beside him and said, "Hao'er, don't blame your grandfather for watching over you. Maybe Yan'er will be back soon. You don't have to worry too much."

Shen Tianhao lowered his eyes and said, "She won't return to the Shen family."

The white-haired old man asked, "How do you know?"

"Because she is my daughter."

Shen Tianhao felt that he was a terrible father, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The white-haired old man sighed deeply, "Tianhao, you are simply too impulsive. You are no longer the person who could solve all problems with force. You have suffered severe internal injuries, your cultivation foundation has been destroyed, and even your strength has been reduced by more than half. If you were smarter, you wouldn't be under my guard now."

He added, "If you're really worried about Yan'er, after a while, when Yan'er's anger has subsided, Grandfather will go and invite her back personally, okay?"

Shen Tianhao was silent. He knew Yan'er's temperament. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult for her to change it.

Just as Shen Tianhao was about to answer, his face suddenly changed and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Blood splattered on the ground.

"Hao'er!" The white-haired old man's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly flashed behind Shen Tianhao, then quickly gathered his spiritual power and pressed a few times on the acupuncture points on his back.

Blood gushed out of Shen Tianhao's mouth again.

His face turned pale and big beads of sweat rolled down his face.

The white-haired old man said in a deep voice: "Hao'er, hold on!"

In fact, the reason why the Supreme Elder came out of seclusion this time was because he noticed that Shen Tianhao's old injury had relapsed, so he came to treat his old injury in the name of guarding him.

During the period when Shen Tianhao's old injury recurred, not only did his strength weaken, but his body also became vulnerable.

Seeing that Shen Tianhao's willpower was about to fail, the white-haired old man's eyebrows were anxious, and he said in a deep voice: "You still have Yan'er and Huai'er, they still need your protection!"

These words cheered up Shen Tianhao a little.

Shen Tianhao held on, his eyes turned scarlet, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.

There were sounds of lively birthday celebrations outside, but Shen Tianhao was suffering from an illness that was worse than death.

…

After Chen Yan left the Shen family with Hong Ri and Yin Yue, she was very active. She used three hundred taels of gold to buy a small house, which was three streets away from the Shen family.

Hongri looked around the courtyard. Although it wasn't as grand as the Shen family's, it was still very cozy. Her previous worries were forgotten. She asked happily, "Miss, are we going to live here from now on?"
