Chapter 867: Turning Over A New Leaf? (1)

Shen Jiawei trembled. Shen Yanxiao's changes were too great. He could no longer associate her with the former poor one.

Just under a year's time after she had recovered, the Vermillion Bird Clan had undergone earth-shaking changes. He and Shen Jiayi were once pampered by the Vermillion Bird Clan, but now, their father was already dead after rebelling. Even Shen Duan, who had harmed them, was dead. On the other hand, Shen Yanxiao was soaring. Not only were her accomplishments brilliant, but her ability was even greater than they could achieve. She won in the school tournament and built The Rising Sun City in just half a year's time. All this was not something they could ever surpass in their eternal life.

When he first entered The Rising Sun City, Shen Jiawei noticed that the construction of the city inside and outside was perfect; it even made him exclaim in amazement. In his heart, he had also been unwilling to go to Shen Yanxiao, but after what he had suffered these days, and also after seeing Shen Yanxiao's achievements, he had come to admire her.

Although he was not good and still willful, he had experienced twists and turns and had grown from that.

He no longer dared to secretly question Shen Yanxiao's ability and instead began to subtly respect and admire her.

He was one year older than Shen Yanxiao. Since childhood, he had lived a pampered life. His father was always lenient with him, and he was always provided with the best food and clothing. But eventually, he fell so far.

In contrast, Shen Yanxiao had been bullied by them and ignored by the Vermillion Bird Clan ever since, but she had achieved a height that others could not reach.

Shen Jiawei smiled wryly in his heart. Was this really their retribution?

He had never thought that Shen Yanxiao would accept them as her siblings. Going to The Rising Sun City was only due to their desperate situation. But he did not think that Shen Yanxiao would really provide them shelter.

Shen Jiawei's immature mind was full of unspeakable, complex emotions. There was a sense of loss, disbelief, and a series of emotions that even him could not decrypt.

"Thanking the City Lord." Shen Jiawei looked up at Shen Yanxiao. When he thought of all the contempt he had held for Shen Yanxiao before, he was really ashamed.

Shen Jiayi did not say another word till the end, aside from her sarcasm at the beginning; she just let Shen Jiawei do the speaking.

Shen Yanxiao summoned Vicious Wolf and told him to arrange accommodations for Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei.

Shen Jiawei thanked her again and took Shen Jiayi away from the City Lord Residence; they then went along with Vicious Wolf.

It was only after the siblings left that the five animals started to open their mouths.

"Retribution or whatnot, it really makes people sigh." Yan Yu's temperament was gentle; watching the two siblings, he could not help but feel some emotions.

"Now it seems that Shen Jiawei is quite mature. His experience during that time was also quite terrible." Tang Nazhi also felt that the two siblings were very pitiful. Their life was originally one of glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, but because of their father's mischief, they were taken away from their home and became destitute and homeless.

The pampered days had now ended.

Qi Xia supported his chin with his hand and lazily looked at Shen Yanxiao.

"I thought you would kill them."

Cutting weeds and eliminating the roots was the usual style of Shen Yanxiao. He did not expect her to let the siblings off today.

Was she requiting evil with good?

It was not like her style at all.

Shen Yanxiao looked back at Qi Xia and said lightly,

"I don't care about their lives. The only reason I reconsidered was for grandpa's sake. They have already been punished as they should. If they honestly live in the future, I'll naturally treat them well. But if they still don't know what's right and wrong, it's still not too late to teach them a lesson."

She was not far away from Shen Feng now, and she didn't want him to bear the pain of seeing one's child die before him again. Leaving Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei alive was her way of giving filial piety to Shen Feng.
