Chapter 771: The Truth of the Past (2)

"I will answer everything you ask!" Shen Yue looked at Shen Yanxiao in fear. He was still scared after what happened earlier in the backyard. He had never dreamed that the former disgrace of the Vermillion Bird Clan would change into the kind of person before him.

Shen Duan, who was an Advanced Swordsman, had been defeated by her without even striking numerous times.

The combination of her great archery skills and curses was a nightmare for them.

"When did Shen Duan start scheming to take the Clan Head position?" Asked Shen Yanxiao.

"I... I don't know. Shen Duan and I aren't that close. When you won the School Tournament, Shen Duan and I were afraid of your new, profound strength. When Shen Duan approached me about this matter, it was only then that I became slightly aware of his scheme to take over the Vermillion Bird Clan. But! I once heard Shen Duan and Ruan Yingzhe talking. Apparently, since you formed a contract with the Vermillion Bird, to when you left for Holy Roland School, Shen Duan was already making his moves." Swallowing his saliva, Shen Yue carefully watched Shen Yanxiao's reaction.

"Keep talking."

"At that time, he had already planned to seize the Clan Head position. So he sent Shen Yifeng to Ruan Yingzhe, saying that it can help increase his strength. Later, more than half a month ago, Ruan Yingzhe suddenly came back with Shen Yifeng. I really didn't know what their plan was. But I was surprised to see that Shen Yifeng was already an Advanced Swordsman. Even Shen Duan was also promoted to Advanced Swordsman from a Senior Swordsman." Shen Yue honestly said.

"What do you know about the Broken Star Palace?" Shen Yanxiao slightly frowned. Shen Duan had actually planned everything since the beginning. No wonder Shen Yifeng did not study at Holy Roland School anymore.

"Shen Duan never liked to discuss the matters of the Broken Star Palace with me. Ruan Yinzhe also disdained talking with me. But... But..." Shen Yue said, his voice started to become fainter as he talked.

"But what?"

Shen Yue's whole body shook before he hurriedly continued, "But Shen Duan told me that he could improve Jiayi's and Jiawei's strength, like he did with Shen Yifeng. After hearing that, I instantly and sincerely agreed. Then, Shen Duan sent them to the Broken Star Palace afterwards."

"You sent Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei to the Broken Star Palace?" Shen Yanxiao was slightly surprised.

No wonder when she ordered a search of the entire household of the Vermillion Bird Clan, she did not see even the shadows of Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei. She also did not see them in the Holy Roland School when she went there to get Ye Qing and Yun Qi. So it turned out that it was because they had been sent to the Broken Star Palace.

"Yes... Yes." Shen Yue nodded before he quickly explained, "I can assure you, as long as you do not kill me, I will tell my two children not to go against you in the future... They aren't aware of the rebellion scheme. As long as I say it, they will act the same as before. When they are home, they'll behave and won't do anything bad!"

Shen Yue hurriedly cleared the situation, afraid that Shen Yanxiao would think that Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei would take revenge in the future once they've grown powerful in the Broken Star Palace.

"Haha..."

Just when Shen Yue was nervously trying to explain, a sound of husky laughter came from the other side.

Unexpectedly, the wounded Shen Duan woke up. He struggled to sit up straight, and once he was properly seated, he looked at Shen Yue who was shaking his tail, begging to be forgiven. He gave a sneer before showing a creepy smile that would make anyone who saw it feel their blood run cold.

"Shen Yue, you are still as useless as before, going whichever way the wind blows! Do your children really not know about our rebellion? Why do I remember that after we took care of Shen Feng, your two children went into my son's room to curry favor with him?"
