50: Vermilion Bird's Nest (2)

Vermilion Bird's Nest (2)

In reality, the attendant had never taken Shen Yanxiao seriously. He was an elite nurtured by the Vermilion Bird Family, and his participation in the quest had proved his worth. However, he did not expect that he'd be sent to take care of the trash and deep down, he was unsatisfied with the task. Therefore, when Shen Jiayi decided to cause trouble for Shen Yanxiao, he did not hesitate as he walked toward her and left Shen Yanxiao alone in the carriage for three whole days.0

Shen Yanxiao knew what some people thought of the situation, but she was too lazy to pay any attention to it and walked directly toward the entrance.

Shen Jiayi and the rest had already arrived at the entrance, and the constant stream of the heatwave that radiated from the pitch-black cave stopped them from their next step into the cave.

"This is the Vermilion Bird's lair. All of you should prepare yourselves, and we'll be entering the cave shortly." Just like before, a pure and holy smile appeared the sage's face, and as he faced the cave before him, he was not tense at all.

Shen Yifeng's heartbeat quickened. After they awakened the Vermilion Bird, he was the most likely candidate to obtain it. He was confident that the mythical beast that laid dormant there would eventually belong to him. He concealed his excitement and turned to look at Shen Yanxiao, who had walked to his side.

He was aware of Shen Jiayi's deliberate actions to make things difficult for Shen Yanxiao for the past previous days, but he did not do anything to stop her. At that moment, he revealed a friendly smile toward the ignorant Shen Yanxiao and said, "Seventh sister, it has been hard on you these past few days but don't you worry. Your older brother is here, and I will take good care of you."

With a gentle tone and some sweet words, Shen Yifeng transformed into a good brother that took care of his younger little sister.

However, Shen Yanxiao felt only disdain toward his sudden display of kindness. If Shen Yifeng honestly cared about her, then he would not have allowed Shen Jiayi to harass her. He had never once stood up for her in those three days, and his sudden display of kindness was because he wanted to show a good side of him in front of the sage. Shen Yanxiao had already noticed that when they were back at the Vermilion Bird Family's compound. Shen Yifeng would shower her with affection whenever Shen Siyu was present and acted as if she was his biological little sister. However, as long as Shen Siyu was absent, he would treat her like an invisible person. He did not even look at her, let alone to speak nicely to her.

Shen Yanxiao had caught on to his little scheme. However, she was too lazy to bother with an idiot who did not know how to conceal his hypocritical thoughts.

Shen Yifeng did not expect the idiot to respond to his goodwill. He said those kind words to project a kind personality before the sage. The world respected the people from the God Realm because they had always treated others with benevolence. They loathed evil and darkness while advocated for light and kindness.

Naturally, Shen Yifeng knew what to say and when to say it. The best way to display his kindness was to treat the idiot well. In any case, the trash would not be able to snatch the Family Head position from him, and superficial actions were always simple and easily done.

Shen Yanxiao's participation in the quest was not only as the twin's unfortunate cushion, but she also became the prop for Shen Yifeng to display his positive side.

It seemed as if everyone had made full use of the idiot.

The sage's smile deepened as he looked at Shen Yifeng's 'care' toward Shen Yanxiao. However, an unfathomable glint then flashed across his eyes.
