Chapter 13 What Competition
Nangong Yu asked Shen Xue some details about Chen Yan's return to the Shen family yesterday, but Shen Xue fooled him one by one.
Finally, Nangong Yu's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Xue'er, I will find a chance to get rid of her again. She can escape once, can she escape a second time?"
Shen Xue frowned, looking troubled and conflicted.
Nangong Yu thought of something, and his expression was somewhat excited. He lowered his voice and said, "I came here specially to tell you something. According to reliable information, Qiu Tianzong will hold a competition in the Lingyan Forest next to our Nanxiao Kingdom soon. The contestants will come from nearly ten nearby countries. The top three young people in the competition can enter Qiu Tianzong as inner disciples. In addition to the top three, there are also generous rewards."
"What competition?" Shen Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
Inner sect disciple?!
Qiu Tianzong is definitely considered an upper-middle level force in the Western Region of Pingze. Although it is far inferior to the Western Region Academy, its existence is enough to surpass the ten Nanxiao countries!
The current Shen family is far inferior to the Qiu Tianzong.
Even if he became the Patriarch of the Shen family, it would not be as promising as being an inner sect disciple of the Qiu Tian Sect.
"I don't know what kind of game it is now, but..." Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes, murderous intent emerged, he smiled sinisterly and said: "Xue'er, we can seize this opportunity and let Chen Yan die in this game by 'accident'."
Shen Xue secretly sighed in her heart that Nangong Yu was not so stupid, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked: "But, Chen Yan is a person without any spiritual power, how could she take the initiative to participate?"
Nangong Yu said confidently: "Xue'er, you don't have to worry about this. She is participating whether she takes the initiative or not."
Shen Xue nodded.
Immediately, she said to him with a worried look, "Daddy already knows about the murder of Yan'er, and you were involved. Although the elders forced him not to seek revenge on you, Daddy already holds a grudge against you, so you must be more secretive about the competition and don't let him get hold of any evidence."
If it weren’t for the grandfather and the elders who wanted to protect her reputation, they would probably let Shen Tianhao go to seek revenge on Nangong Yu.
If a quarrel really breaks out, not only will Nangong Yu suffer, but Shen Xue's reputation will also be damaged, and the Shen family's reputation will be affected.
The Shen family attached great importance to honor and reputation, so they could only suppress the matter.
"Don't worry, Xue'er, I'll do the job, don't worry."
Nangong Yu sneered. The reason he wanted to get rid of Chen Yan was not only for Xue'er, but also for himself. He didn't want to marry a waste.
Only Xue'er is worthy of him.
If Shen Tianhao had not saved his father's life, his father would not have let him make a marriage contract with the infant Shen Yan. Who knew that she was stupid and useless, with no merits at all!
Now his father also dislikes Chen Yan in every way and regrets making the engagement so early.
The two looked at each other, and Nangong Yu gently reached out and held her hand. When they were in love, suddenly at this moment——
A maid came hurriedly, looking anxious.
"Miss, His Royal Highness, the young master is rushing over here with a big knife in hand! He said he wants to chop His Royal Highness to death!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yu's expression changed instantly.
Shen Xue's expression also changed, and she quickly said to Nangong Yu: "Brother Yu, run away quickly."
Once Shen Tianhao loses control, he will act like a madman. Unless someone uses force to control him, the consequences will be disastrous.
And Shen Tianhao's strength of the third level of the Earthly Realm is unmatched in the Nanxiao Kingdom, while Nangong Yu's strength is only at the sixth level of the Yellow Realm, and the difference is huge.
Nangong Yu naturally understood as well. He was so scared that his face turned pale. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Shen Xue, he fled through the side door with his servants.
The back looks a little embarrassed.
Soon, there was a loud noise, and a tiger as tall as an adult jumped into the side hall. It roared wildly, knocking down many tables and chairs, and even Shen Xue was forced to retreat several steps.
This is one of Shen Tianhao’s summoned beasts, the Zhentian Tiger.
Zhentianhu seemed to sense his master's emotions. It approached Shen Xue step by step, bared its teeth at her, and made threatening and warning growls.
The powerful pressure shocked Shen Xue to the point of being stunned.
Shen Xue was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Dad... Dad, spare me!"
Shen Tianhao arrived a little later, holding a long-handled broadsword in his hand, with a fierce look and sharp and cold eyes, he roared angrily.
"Where's Nangong Yu?!"
Shen Xue stammered, "He...he left..."
Shen Tianhao's icy cold eyes fell on Shen Xue, and Shen Xue's whole body trembled. It was the first time that she was stared at by Shen Tianhao with such hatred. A chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her shiver unconsciously.
“Daddy…”
Shen Tianhao's eyes were bloodshot: "Shut up, I, Shen Tianhao, don't have a daughter like you! You are the least qualified to call me 'father' in the world. You murdered my daughter and used her blood to exchange for your own body. You are extremely shameless!"
As he finished speaking, Zhentianhu felt the murderous intent in its master's heart. It suddenly opened its huge mouth, and just as it was about to swallow Shen Xue into its mouth, a powerful pressure came and forced Zhentianhu away for a distance.
"stop!"
"Xue'er, are you okay?" The Great Elder's caring voice came, and he helped Shen Xue, who was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, up.
Immediately, the Great Elder saw Shen Xue’s pale face, and immediately turned his head to stare at Shen Tianhao, and said angrily: “Tianhao, are you going to kill Xue’er?!”
“Yes!” Shen Tianhao gritted his teeth.
The Great Elder choked and looked at Shen Tianhao with a look of disappointment.
He didn't understand why Shen Tianhao wanted to keep a waste, when he obviously had a better daughter to choose! Although Shen Xue was not his biological child, how could Shen Xue not be as good as Shen Yan? Shen Xue was intelligent and gifted, and brought honor to the family. Now she has embarked on the path of a summoner, and her future is limitless!
Seeing this, Shen Tianhao just sneered, summoned Zhentianhu back, and turned around and left.
Not even a hello.
The Great Elder was extremely angry.
Shen Xue's eyes were red: "Great Elder, will I not have a father in the future?"
The Great Elder looked at her lovingly: "Even if you don't have a father, you still have the head of the family, and we old men are backing you up. Xue'er, you are the child of our Shen family!"
Shen Xue nodded sadly, hiding the smile in her eyes.
Immediately, the Great Elder turned around and told the maid: "Hurry up and send the young lady back to rest."
"Yes, Great Elder." The maids responded one after another, and they raised their hands to support Shen Xue.
After they left, a secret guard suddenly appeared and whispered a few words into the ear of the great elder.
The Great Elder immediately revealed a sarcastic look.
"Don't worry about that loser. She won't learn anything even if she enters the library."
