After thinking about that, Shen Yunya couldn’t help but get out of bed excitedly. She hated the emperor and empress very much because their favourite was still Shen Qingdai. They must not have been able to die in peace now that they were killed by the person they once doted.
However, when she opened the box and saw what’s inside, she widened her eyes instantly. She then took a few steps back in shock. Her expression was filled with horror as she stared at what’s inside the box. After staring at it for a long time, she finally shouted sorrowfully. “Father!”
Shen Yunya opened the other box with her trembling hands. She then collapsed onto the ground and cried out involuntarily. “Mother.”
Rui’er had seen too many bloody scenes after spending so many years serving Shen Yunya. However, she couldn’t help but felt shocked and looked away when she saw the two human heads with both their eyes wide open right in front of her.
Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, Shen Yunya felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave right now. She was feeling chills creeping all over her. She had finally reunited with her parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, they were reunited in such a way…
After crying for a very long time, Shen Yunya finally ran out of tears. She was rubbing her red, swollen eyes while gnashing her teeth in anger. “Shen Qingdai!”
She would never let Shen Qingdai off! Never!
…
The Shen Family didn’t really matter to Feng Tianlan anymore. She was paying respect to her third uncle along with Shen Liang. Looking at the grass on his grave that was three feet tall, she couldn’t help but sigh. She could only say that Shen Bokang deserved his death.
“This is all thanks to eldest sister. Otherwise, I would never have avenged my father in such a short time.” Shen Liang removed all the grasses and lighted up a joss stick. He then looked at Feng Tianlan with gratitude.
Feng Tianlan paid her respect with a joss stick sincerely. After kowtowing, she stood up and said to him. “Third uncle can finally rest in peace. You should also let go of your hatred, be your true self and secure your own future.”
“Speaking of this, the Xuantian Alliance has retracted their decree of making eldest sister the lord of the alliance. A new lord was elected. I have no chance of being the lord anymore. However, I have asked my master the question that you wanted me to ask. Xuantian Alliance had never sent assassins over to Guiyuan Continent. However, one thing I am sure about is that the Flying Frost Pavilion is indeed a force under Xuantian Alliance…”
Shen Liang told Feng Tianlan about the things that he had found from his investigation and the reason why Xuantian Alliance was formed. It really was formed to strike a balance between the forces on Xuantian Alliance. They normally wouldn’t interfere with other forces. However, they would make a move during critical times.
Ten years ago, Shen Borui’s death caused turmoil in Xuantian Alliance.
“Alright, I get it.” Feng Tianlan frowned. She wanted to find out the reason behind Dean Luo’s death. However, since it wasn’t Bailan Alliance nor Xuantian Alliance who did it, it must be Fengyun Alliance.
She remembered that people from Fengyun Alliance had a peony sewn on their sleeves. According to Yunzhu, the assassin was a woman with a peony on her wrist.
Shen Liang took out a small package from the storage ring and handed it over to her. “This was said to be the Shen Family’s treasure, but it’s actually eldest uncle’s belonging. I am returning it to you.”
Feng Tianlan received the package and opened it. It was just a white stone that was the size of a pigeon’s egg with cracks all over it. She couldn’t tell what’s so special about it. She remembered that his father used to give this stone to her when she was little and told her that it was the Shen Family’s treasure which was passed down to her. She was asked to keep it properly and carry it with her wherever she goes. She was still little back then, therefore she didn’t really care about it.
After her father’s death, she hid this stone somewhere. However, after being coaxed by Shen Bokang, she handed over the extremely normal-looking white stone to him. Until this day, she still couldn’t tell what’s so special about it.
