Chapter 459: Enemies on a Narrow Road (1)

Lin Xuan was about to say something before he saw Shen Yanxiao’s arrival. He immediately relaxed and said, “Shen Jue, you’ve returned!”
As if they followed his cue, the other two figures also turned their heads toward her. Shen Yanxiao was surprised to learn that she knew those two people; it was her brother, Shen Siyu, and her fifth uncle, Shen Ling.
Shen Siyu looked at Shen Yanxiao, who wore a disguise mask, and said with a warm smile, “You’re back!”
Shen Yanxiao was surprised to see them there. She had not expected Shen Siyu and Shen Ling to look for her in the academy.
“Brother Siyu, Fifth Uncle.” Even though she addressed them obediently, she still had a lot of questions in her mind. Why were they at the academy so suddenly? Did Shen Feng want to tell her something and so sent them there to convey his message?
She thought about the two Phoenixes that she had sent to the Lava Valley not too long ago, and that was when she understood the situation.
“Hmm.” Shen Ling nodded, but he had a taut expression on his face. He did not have any particular feelings about Shen Yanxiao, and one could even say that he was a neutral party in the family.
“We’re here to bring you something from the family head, and I’m also here you see how you’re doing.” Shen Siyu spoke to Shen Yanxiao with the same gentleness as he usually did.
Lin Xuan was a perceptive person, and when he noticed they had some things to discuss, he found an excuse to slip away so that they could use the room privately.
After Lin Xuan left, Shen Siyu stepped forward and raised his hand to pat her on her head gently.
“You’ve lost weight after leaving home for several months. You must be exhausted here.” Shen Siyu already had a gentle voice, and when he spoke in a caring tone, it sounded like the spring breeze.
Shen Yanxiao brushed her nose at his care and concern.
“It is manageable. Did Grandfather send me something? Why did he send Brother Siyu and Fifth Uncle? There’s no need for the trouble.” While she was in the Shen family, Shen Siyu was rarely at home as Shen Feng always dispatched him to attend to some tasks. As for Shen Ling, he was in charge of Vermilion Bird family’s bodyguards, and so he rarely had free time as well. If Shen Feng had sent them both, it meant that it was not a simple item.
“It’s nothing important, but Grandfather did ask me to give you this letter.” Shen Siyu smiled as he retrieved a sealed letter from his space ring for Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Ling remained silent, but he turned his back as if to give Shen Yanxiao some space to read it.
Shen Siyu had also followed suit as he busied himself with the furnishings in the dormitory.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow when she realized that their sole purpose was to deliver the letter. So she immediately opened it.
Shen Feng’s handwriting was lively and compelling as he began the letter with information about the Phoenixes.
Shen Feng felt honored with the arrival of the Phoenixes. As Shen Yanxiao had already personally penned a letter about their arrival, he had acted per her instructions and prevented the Vermilion Bird’s family members from entering the Lava Valley without his permission. As for the reason that the Phoenixes were at the Lava Valley, Shen Feng did not pry and merely instructed her to take care of herself and not to mistreat herself in the academy.
It was a short page, and yet it had conveyed the deep concern of an elder. Shen Yanxiao felt a twitch in her nose as she read through the letter. It was the first time in her life to receive a letter from a family member. It was not a bad feeling to have someone show concern and care for oneself.
After she read Shen Feng’s letter, Shen Yanxiao decisively started a small flame to burn the letter. Except for them both, no one in the Vermilion Bird family knew about the Phoenixes’ existence;
Except for them, no one in the entire Vermilion Bird family knew about the existence of the Phoenixes; even Shen Siyu and Shen Ling were left in the dark about it.
The Phoenixes were to be the Vermilion Bird Family’s hidden card.
