Chapter 771: Story of the Past (2)

“Of course, I will tell you everything!” Shen Yue looked at Shen Yanxiao with fear. He was still in great trepidation because of what had happened earlier. He could never foresee the shame of the Vermilion Bird Family, the idiot of the whole family could turn into a prodigy.
Shen Duan was defeated by her within one hundred moves.
Those mysterious archery skills and the strange curses made for a horrifying nightmare for Shen Yue.
“Since when did Shen Duan begin planning on taking over the Family Head position?” Shen Yanxiao questioned.
“I… I am not sure. Shen Duan and I weren’t that close at the beginning. After you won the Inter-academy tournament and demonstrated that your strength has improved tremendously, Shen Duan and I became afraid. That was when I started to get close to him and that was when I learned that Shen Duan was plotting against the Vermilion Bird Family. But I once overheard what Shen Duan said to Ruan Yingzhe. It seemed that after you signed a contract with Vermilion Bird and went to Saint Laurent Academy, Shen Duan had begun to devise a plan.” Shen Yue gulped and observed Shen Yanxiao’s reaction.
“Go on.”
“Back then, he already had the ambition to seize power. So, he sent Shen Yifeng to Ruan Yingzhe and claimed he would help Shen Yifeng increase his strength. About half a month ago, Ruan Yingzhe suddenly came to the Vermilion Bird Family with Shen Yifeng. Then I found out what Shen Duan was really after. I was surprised that Shen Yifeng had become a Great Swordsman and even Shen Duan had been promoted to a Great Swordsman from an Advanced Swordsman without anyone knowing.” Shen Yue was honest.
“What do you know about the Broken Star Palace?” Shen Yanxiao frowned. It turned out that Shen Duan had figured out the entire plan very early on. No wonder Shen Yifeng did not go to Saint Laurent Academy.
“Shen Duan wouldn’t talk to me about the Broken Star Palace and Ruan Yingzhe disdained me so he didn’t tell me anything. But… but…” Shen Yue’s voice died down gradually before he stopped.
“But what?”
Shen Yue shivered and went on, “But Shen Duan told me that he could help Jiayi and Jiawei increase their strength just like Shen Yifeng. I was intrigued so I agreed, so Shen Duan sent them to the Broken Star Palace too.”
“You sent Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei to the Broken Star Palace?” Shen Yanxiao was surprised.
That explained why she could not find Shen Jiayi nor Shen Jiawei even after she searched the entire estate. She also didn’t see them when she went to Saint Laurent Academy to pick up Ye Qing and Yun Qi. It turned out that they had been sent to the Broken Star Palace by Shen Yue.
“Yes… yes.” Shen Yue nodded. He hurried to explain himself immediately, “I can promise that as long as you let me live, I will tell my kids that they should never set themselves against you. They… they don’t know about my betrayal. They will still see the Vermillion Bird Family as their home just as before if I don’t tell them. They are good kids. They won’t do anything vicious!”
Shen Yue was afraid that Shen Yanxiao would worry about Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei’s retaliation in the future since they were sent to the Broken Star Palace. Therefore, he tried to make an excuse.
“How interesting…”
When Shen Yue was talking nervously, he heard a laugh coming from the side.
Shen Duan, who had scared everyone, had come back to his senses. With great effort, he sat up and laughed creepily at Shen Yue who was begging for mercy.
“Shen Yue, you are still a loser, a fence-sitter! Do you honestly think that your kids don’t know about our conspiracy? Why do I remember that after we captured Shen Ling, your daughter and son went to my son’s room to please him?”
