Nanxiao Kingdom, outside the gate of Chen Mansion.
“Whoa!”
A deep male voice suddenly sounded, and the person sitting on the horse was a man who looked to be about thirty years old.
He had an anxious look on his face, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his hair was slightly messy, as if he had hurried back from a distance. He immediately dismounted.
The guards outside the Shen family's gate tensed up when they saw the man striding towards them. They bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Young Master!"
The man seemed not to hear and rushed into the Shen family with big strides.
Seeing this, the guards looked at each other and remembered the disappearance of that useless person...
The man ignored everything and rushed into the Shen family's meeting hall.
"Where is Yan'er?!" he asked anxiously.
At this time, all the elders of the Shen family were sitting. When they heard the man's voice, they looked over and saw that the man was Shen Tianhao.
Shen Tianhao glanced sharply at the elders present and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Yan'er? Where did you hide her?"
An elder in a green robe sitting on the left sneered nonchalantly, "Chen Yan ran off with a wild man."
Shen Tianhao was enraged. He rushed towards the green-robed elder and was about to raise his fist to hit him fiercely when—
"stop!"
An old and majestic voice came.
Shen Tianhao’s fist stopped half an inch away from the green-robed elder’s cheek.
He tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest and turned to look at the old man with half white hair and beard sitting in the main seat. He saw a weathered face covered with wrinkles like ravines. The old man said majestically: "Tianhao, Chen Yan has been missing for nearly four days. I also sent people to search for her, but they couldn't find her. This may be God's will."
"What the hell is God's will?!"
Shen Tianhao's face turned ashen, and he was obviously extremely angry.
The old man warned in a displeased voice: "Tianhao, calm down!"
Shen Tianhao's eyes were bloodshot as he said, "Father, Yan'er is your granddaughter, and even more so my daughter. Her whereabouts are unknown now. How can you ask me to calm down?"
The old man fell silent after hearing this.
The atmosphere in the hall became oppressive. The elders of the Shen family present looked at each other, and did not dare to speak out to offend Shen Tianhao. After all, once Shen Tianhao got angry, he would become like a madman.
In fact, deep down in their hearts, they felt that it would be best if Chen Yan died, so that there would be no stain on their Shen family.
Chen Yan is foolish and stupid, and is a waste who cannot awaken his spiritual bone cultivation, let alone awaken the summoning ability inherited by their Shen family!
It would be best if such a burden were gone!
Shen Tianhao glanced at the elders present. Seeing their indifferent expressions, he felt even more distressed for his daughter. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Who was Yan'er with before she disappeared?"
"Who knows?" an elder said contemptuously.
The Shen family's eldest elder, who was sitting at the front right, said, "Tianhao, Chen Yan may have met with misfortune. You should be more open-minded. Although Chen Yan is gone, we still have Xue'er. She is extremely talented. At the age of seventeen, she has already broken through to the seventh level of the Yellow Rank Realm. Although she does not have the bloodline of our Shen family's summoners, she can bring honor to the Shen family. Xue'er is also your daughter..."
Shen Tianhao was so angry that he almost went crazy. He sneered at himself and said, "I shouldn't have asked you!"
He turned around and tried to leave the meeting hall.
At this time, a graceful woman in white walked to the meeting hall. When she was about to ask to enter the meeting hall, she saw Shen Tianhao trying to come out, and her eyes lit up slightly.
"Dad, you're back from Yunqing Country!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianhao looked up and rushed to Shen Xue with an anxious look on his face. He stretched out his hands and tightly grasped her arms, asking anxiously and worriedly: "Xue'er, do you know where Yan'er went? You are usually very close to her, you must know where she went!"
"Daddy, it hurts." Shen Xue frowned slightly and hissed softly.
Shen Tianhao quickly let go of his hand.
Shen Xue shook her head sadly: "Xue'er doesn't know where Sister Yan'er went, but the day before Sister Yan'er disappeared, I heard her muttering to herself about Brother Huai, saying that she missed Brother Huai."
"After Sister Yan'er disappeared, Xue'er searched many places, including the direction of Western Region College, but there was no news of Sister Yan'er. What if Sister Yan'er was hungry..." At the end, Shen Xue's voice was filled with tears, and her eyes were red, with tears sliding down unconsciously. It was obvious that she was extremely worried and sad.
Yan'er...
Shen Tianhao's breath was choked, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and the pain was so severe that blood was dripping.
Shen Xue sobbed, "Daddy, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of my sister Yan'er. Xue'er asks Daddy to punish me."
Shen Tianhao was somewhat distraught and could not listen to Shen Xue's words at all.
"Yan'er, my Yan'er..."
He kept murmuring.
The next moment, he actually summoned a dagger and cut his palm without hesitation. In an instant, a shocking blood mark appeared and blood quickly seeped out.
"Ah!" Shen Xue exclaimed.
At this moment, the head of the Shen family in the meeting hall saw this and his expression changed drastically. He suddenly stood up, swept out like a gust of wind, and directly grabbed Shen Tianhao's wrist.
The head of the Shen family shouted angrily: "You are crazy! Summoning with blood sacrifice will shorten your lifespan!"
Shen Tianhao's eyes were firm, and his tone was becoming calmer as he said, "Father, I want to find Yan'er! Yan'er might still be scared and uneasy somewhere. She must want you to save her, too."
When Shen Xue heard these words, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Shen family sneered in anger.
"She's a piece of trash!"
Just as he finished speaking, a thin girl stepped into the courtyard and witnessed the dispute not far ahead.
At this time, several guards were running breathlessly behind the thin girl.
Several guards said, "Miss Chen Yan is back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders in the meeting hall in front were shocked. They looked outside the hall and saw a young girl with wounds all over her body and tattered clothes. Her face was pale and her lips were cracked. She looked very pitiful, but her eyes were sharp.
It's as if I can see through people's hearts at a glance.
It makes people feel guilty.
"Yan'er!"
Shen Tianhao's pupils shrank, and he strode towards Chen Yan. The excitement of regaining what he had lost made him want to hug Chen Yan, but he noticed that Chen Yan was covered in bruises, so he didn't dare to touch her easily, for fear of opening her wounds.
His eyes instantly became moist, his heart ached, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Yan'er, does it hurt? Who bullied you? Dad will definitely help you get revenge!"
Chen Yan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Xue.
At this time, Shen Xue was terrified and a little panicked.
What’s going on?!
Isn't Chen Yan already dead?!
