Chapter 24 Severe Punishment

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then called out in a cold tone.

"The head of the family."

The head of the Shen family looked sharp and asked directly: "Are you blaming me? Why don't you call me grandfather?"

Chen Yan sneered.

"You already have a granddaughter named Shen Xue, don't you?"

"presumptuous!"

With a loud bang, the head of the Shen family stabbed the ground with his cane. He looked unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Xue'er is my granddaughter, and so are you. I know you are blaming me for what happened a few days ago, but you should know that our Shen family cannot be without talented people! If you can't do something, why not let Xue'er replace you? You also have a share of the honor she brings to the family."

Chen Yan raised her eyes indifferently and said, "Do you think I need such an honor?"

These words choked the head of the Shen family.

Chen Yan continued: "You want me to call you grandfather, then have you ever done anything good for me? You always favor Shen Xue and indulge her behavior against me, right?"

The Shen family head's face suddenly darkened.

"You are totally disrespectful to your elders. Are you questioning your grandfather?"

Chen Yan asked calmly, "Are you afraid to admit it?"

The head of the Shen family was furious. He directly exerted his coercive power and crushed towards Chen Yan, as if he wanted to teach her a lesson.

Chen Yan felt a powerful pressure coming at her. In an instant, a sweet and fishy taste surged in her throat. Her back seemed to be pressed down by a mountain. She maintained a straight back.

There was a creaking sound in my back.

She just looked at the head of the Shen family with cold eyes. Even though the wound that had almost healed and scabbed over broke open again, blood oozed out and soaked her clothes, she still did not yield to him.

She just wanted to let Master Shen know that he was biased, he only cared about profit, and he had never treated the original owner well!

Seeing his gloomy face, Chen Yan suddenly smiled: "If you admit that you are biased and selfish, I will still look up to you."

The head of the Shen family roared.

"Shenyan!"

With a bang, Chen Yan was blown to the ground by his powerful pressure and rolled on the ground. Chen Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and his little face turned pale in an instant.

Hong Ri, who was waiting outside, saw her young lady falling to the ground with serious injuries. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her heart was instantly hanging in the air. She was anxious and worried. When she wanted to turn around and find Shen Tianhao to rescue her young lady——

Two guards stopped her.

Hong Ri's expression changed in shock: "Why are you stopping me?"

A guard said: "The master has given an order. You can't leave unless he lets you leave!"

Hongri tried to push them away, but a long sword was pressed against his neck. The cold touch made Hongri stiffen all over.

She looked up in astonishment.

"you……"

The guards had cold expressions and looked as if they were doing their job properly.

And at this moment——

The head of the Shen family stood up suddenly, stared down at Chen Yan, and said in a grim voice: "Chen Yan, don't be ungrateful! Your food, clothing and daily expenses are all in the Shen family. When have I ever treated you unfairly? I have also compensated you for what happened a few days ago!"

"So, don't ruin Xue'er's reputation outside, otherwise you won't even have a chance to live in the Shen family!"

Chen Yan wanted to get up, but was crushed down again by the pressure from the head of the Shen family.

Bang!

Chen Yan was imprisoned by the powerful pressure, her internal organs seemed to be bursting, and she frowned in pain. Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were staring coldly at the head of the Shen family.

"For a fake granddaughter, even the real granddaughter can be killed. How great!"

"Shut up!"

The head of the Shen family didn't expect that she would dare to resist. With a cold face, he picked up the crutch and smashed it hard on the back of Shen Yan's hand. With a "bang", Shen Yan groaned in pain and her left hand twitched violently several times.

The head of the Shen family stared at her with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Don't try to challenge my authority! In the Shen family, I am the one who calls the shots! I can have a hundred ways to kill you silently. Tianhao can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime. If you still want to live a good life in the Shen family, you have to be a good boy."

Chen Yan suddenly felt sad for the original owner.

What she said and did in the weapon shop today must have fallen into his ears, so he was so anxious to find her.

Threaten her so that she can't say anything bad about Shen Xue.

She smiled sarcastically.

No answer.

She tried to stand up again and again, but was suppressed by the head of the Shen family again and again.

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while.

Seeing more and more blood oozing out of Shen Yan's body, the head of the Shen family frowned, worried that Shen Tianhao would come to make trouble for her, so he restrained his pressure.

The head of the Shen family said in a high-sounding manner: "You tore a disciple's mouth yesterday. Today, you disrespected your elders and were so unruly. I will punish you slightly. I hope you will correct your mistakes in the future!"

Chen Yan stood up, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the ground.

How disgusting.

The Shen family head's face became increasingly gloomy.

Chen Yan did not say anything harsh at this time, because she was holding a grudge in her heart, not only against the original owner, but also against herself.

She walked out of the main hall without saying a word. The girl's light purple dress was stained red. Her back was straight and her hair was messy. Although she looked disheveled, she exuded a resolute and unyielding temperament.

"Miss!"

The moment Hongri saw Chenyan, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Why did the head of the family bully the young lady like this?

The young lady is obviously an ordinary person with no accomplishments. She simply cannot bear the pressure from the head of the family!

Hongri raised her hand regardless and pushed away the guard who was blocking her. The sword cut the skin on her neck, leaving a small bloody wound.

"Miss!" Hongri immediately rushed to Chenyan's side and raised his hand to support her.

Chen Yan said calmly: "It's okay."

"How can it be okay?!" Hongri felt distressed and big tears rolled down his eyes.

The moment Chen Yan walked out of the main hall of the front yard, the news that she was punished by the head of the family quickly spread to every corner of the Shen family.

The reason why she was punished was: beating disciples of the clan, disrespecting elders, and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions.

None of the charges had anything to do with Shen Xue, but Chen Yan knew that the reason why he treated her like this was ultimately because of Shen Xue.

After Shen Yan left, a woman in white gradually walked out from behind the screen in the main hall. It was Shen Xue!

Shen Xue heard everything about the confrontation between the head of the Shen family and Shen Yan.

Shen Xue frowned slightly and said, "Grandfather, isn't it too cruel to treat Sister Yan'er like this?"

"As a waste, you should have a clear self-awareness." The head of the Shen family snorted coldly, and then said to her in a gentle tone: "Xue'er, you don't have to pay attention to her. I have already taught her a lesson for you."

Shen Xue held the arm of the head of the Shen family and said with a touching look: "Grandfather, thank you, you are the only one in the world who is so kind to me."

She smiled again: "I will definitely repay you and the Shen family. In this competition held by Qiu Tianzong, I will try my best to come out on top!"

Patriarch Shen looked at her lovingly and said, "You can definitely do it, but don't spread the news that you have become a summoner yet. Treat it as a trump card and catch people by surprise."
