Aeternatix: Was gonna draw this out for longer, but 'eh. Subject matter is "Family Dinner"
If there was anyone in the Vermillion Bird Clan who cherished their family more than Shen Feng, it was Shen Jing.
Even though he perfectly knew who had tried to kill him in the past, he was still willing to forbear and maintain the affection between them brothers. He could abandon everything, put down his own future, and turn himself from the genius who everyone flocked around into a wastrel that everyone cast aside.
However, it was precisely because of this kind of kindness in his heart that he had created the tragedy of his other two brothers.
"Little Xiao, how are Father and Shen Ling now?" Shen Jing was regretting his former cowardly and weak self. His already red eyes were reflecting self-hatred and desperation toward Shen Duan.If Shen Duan were really so heartless and dared to hurt Shen Feng and Shen Ling, then he would also be cruel and heartless and get rid of Shen Duan!
Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Jing. At this moment, the current Shen Jing made Shen Yanxiao feel a very strange feeling. Shen Yanxiao seemed to see a kind of temperament similar to Shen Feng on his body.
That kind of determination and that kind of decisiveness were not characteristic of someone who was known to be a wastrel nobleson.
Shen Jing’s eyes were full of hate and despair but, at the same time, intelligence.
This kind of intelligence surpassed that of the majority of people Shen Yanxiao knew on the Radiance Continent.
Shen Yanxiao was really surprised. Shen Feng had always said that her father, Shen Yu, was the smartest of all his sons, but Shen Yanxiao believed that Shen Jing’s intelligence was by no means beneath her father's.
However, he chose to remain dull to preserve the harmony inside the Vermillion Bird Clan.If it were not for this, perhaps before Shen Yu, Shen Duan would have already gotten rid of him.
"Grandpa and Fifth Uncle are both living well now. They live in The Rising Sun City today. Shen Duan, Shen Yue, and Shen Yifeng have all been killed by me." Shen Yanxiao calmly stated.
Shen Jing’s face showed a trace of astonishment.
"Third Uncle, I don't know why you have been forbearing for so many years, but I want to tell you that it is not advisable to raise savage tigers. Even if you concede much more, it will not let those savage tigers have a hint of gratitude nor restraint. They will only become more and more excessive, and only by removing them will people be able to end the troubles they pose forever." Shen Yanxiao said with a cold voice.
Shen Jing smiled bitterly and replied, "But... they are my brothers..." He did not want his father to get old in distress, but he did not want to see the images of his brothers being destroyed either.
Perhaps he was weak, maybe he was too sentimental, but this was how Shen Jing was.
He would rather accept a compromise and maintain the stability of the Vermillion Bird Clan.
"They will not treat the people in front of them as brothers. Whether it was First Uncle or my father, for them, they are their enemies." Shen Yanxiao was exceptionally calm. She had already touched the edge of death in her previous life and gone through many challenging experiences. She had already seen everything.
For those who were sincere to her, she would surely recompense them with a gushing spring.
For those who wanted to harm her, even if it was her brother, she would not be kind and lenient.
Kindness to one’s enemy was cruelty to oneself.
"Your temper is really different from your parents’." Shen Jing looked at Shen Yanxiao, whose manner of speaking was kind of ruthless, with eyes full of surprise. From the top to the bottom of the Vermillion Bird Clan, he feared that one could no longer find someone whose heart was more cruel than hers.
Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. She did not know what the character of the original owner of her body was, but from the day she replaced her, she began to carry out her own will.
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
"However, if your parents see how you are doing right now, they should be very satisfied that their daughter is very decisive in doing things." Shen Jing smiled.
