Shen Yifeng did not even bother to worry about the trash who was not qualified to train in battle aura or magic.
So what if she participated as well? She would only serve as a prop, and he was determined to obtain the Vermilion Bird. Furthermore, even though Shen Yanxiao was trash, Shen Siyu’s prospect was beyond measure. If he could get closer to Shen Siyu by being kind to that idiot, then it would take half the work and twice the effect to become the Vermilion Bird Family’s successor.
Therefore, no matter in which aspects, Shen Yifeng did not have any objections for Shen Yanxiao to become a candidate. On the contrary, he would display care and concern for Shen Yanxiao during that period to get on Shen Siyu’s good side.
Just as everyone gnashed their teeth at the news that Shen Yanxiao would become a candidate, the person involved was also in shock.
What did Shen Feng do? When did she get pulled into the muddy water as well?
Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Even though she wanted to swindle and obtain the supposedly powerful Vermilion Bird very much, she was very clear about her status in the family. For her to have the chance to meet the Vermilion Bird was even tougher than a meeting the monarch. However, a ridiculous thing happened and Shen Feng had actually put her name on the list.
Did he suffer from a cerebral stroke?
Regardless of how dissatisfied everyone was, they were also aware that any decision made by Shen Feng had no leeway for discussion. Thus, they could only conceal their dissatisfaction in their minds.
The date for the Lava Valley was fixed to be three days later. Initially, Shen Yue and the others were furious about Shen Yanxiao’s candidacy, but Shen Yue came around soon enough. So what if Shen Yanxiao was given the right to candidacy? With that idiot’s strength, if she could sign a contract with the Vermilion Bird, wouldn’t that mean that everyone else could also do so?
After Shen Yue came around, he placated Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei very soon. When those two unruly kids thought heard their father’s analysis, they felt slightly better. Shen Feng’s decision to add Shen Yanxiao to the list might not necessarily be a bad thing. Although Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei’s had average strength, it was still like fleeting clouds when compared to a powerful opponent like Shen Yifeng.
If there were only the three of them that contested for the Vermilion Bird, they would very possibly suffer a crushing defeat under Shen Yifeng’s strength when the time came. Furthermore, the contest would take place in front of the sage and wouldn’t that mean they would embarrass their family? With Shen Yanxiao in the last place, they were confident that they would crush her even if they lacked the strength to beat Shen Yifeng. With the trash as a prop, they could still maintain their reputation before the sage.
With that thought in mind, how could Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei grumble about Shen Feng’s decision to squeeze her onto the list? Instead, they were deeply grateful for their grandfather’s ‘sensible act’!
Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei were secretly pleased, and Shen Yifeng did not even care about the incident.
That was because they knew that Shen Yanxiao’s existence was to highlight their outstanding abilities. There could only be prominence if there were stark comparisons.
As for Shen Yanxiao, who everyone else regarded as only a prop, she felt lost as she sat on the chair and supported her chin with her hand.
‘What exactly is Shen Feng’s intention of pushing me to stand before the Vermilion Bird? Even if I can ‘rescue’ those two unruly kids’ face before the sage, I’m still part of the family. I don’t feel that letting an idiot lose face is better than letting those two kids lose face.’
