Chapter 28: Relapse of old injuries
Chen Yan put away the storage ring and ignored the Shen family's chief elder and others.
At the moment of turning around, Chen Yan said to Hong Ri and Yin Yue: "You two stay in the Shen family and tell the young master that I am fine."
She was used to being alone, and if she took the two of them with her, how would she arrange their whereabouts if she avenged the original owner and wanted to leave Nanxiao Country? It would be better to let them 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 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 took a step forward 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 elder said in a loud and sarcastic voice: "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 courage not to come back! The Shen family is nothing without a waste, but you, Chen Yan, will lose the most solid backing without the protection of the Shen family! The choice you make today will be the stupidest decision of your life!"
Chen Yan didn't even look back at him.
She didn't like the Shen family, and her only attachment was 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 away from 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 great elder of the Shen family 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 time, the elder of the Shen family did not know that he would be the one to kneel down humbly 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 overshadowed 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 slightly raised, 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 in her tone.
Shen Xue slowly raised her hand and looked at the wound on the back of her hand that had not yet fully healed. This wound was the evidence that she had exchanged for Chen Yan's blood.
She actually likes this scar.
Because this is the symbol of her victory.
She said in a very soft voice: "Chen Yan, the day when 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.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Young Master Lu, Prince Nangong, and Princess Ying have already arrived, and they have personally delivered the birthday gifts."
Shen Xue's smile deepened when she heard that.
She said to herself: 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 to 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 still 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 aside and said, "Hao'er, don't blame your grandfather for watching you. Maybe Yan'er will come back after a while. 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 very bad father, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The white-haired old man sighed deeply: "Tianhao, you are too impulsive. You are no longer the person who can solve all problems with force. You have suffered serious internal injuries, your cultivation foundation has been destroyed, and even your strength has been reduced by more than half. If you were smarter, you would not be guarded by me now."
He added, "If you are really worried about Yan'er, after a while, when Yan'er's anger has subsided, Grandfather will personally go and invite her back, okay?"
Shen Tianhao was silent. He knew Yan'er's personality. 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 hit the acupoints on his back a few times.
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 Supreme Elder came out of seclusion this time because he noticed that Shen Tianhao's old injury had relapsed, so he came to treat his old injury in the name of guarding.
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 almost gone, 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 made Shen Tianhao feel a little more energetic.
Shen Tianhao held on, his eyes turned scarlet, and blood kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
There were sounds of lively birthday celebrations outside, but Shen Tianhao was suffering from a painful 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 was not as grand as the Shen family, it was also very warm. Her previous worries had been forgotten. She asked happily, "Miss, are we going to live here from now on?"
