Obviously, Shen Duan’s scheme was in vain. For Shen Yanxiao, a modern person who was open-minded, free, and knew equality, don’t say that her mother was a mixed-race between a human and an elf. Even if she were a mixture of the eight major races, that was also not a problem!
Being mixed-race was good: just imagine having multiple talents from different races. But this bunch of ignorant fools actually despised such a naturally good thing.
What a terrible belief they had!
Forget about Shen Duan, even Shen Feng and the several heads of the other four great clans were all very astonished.
They had seen a strong psychological quality, but they had never seen this degree of psychological quality!
Shen Yanxiao was truly valiant!
“Say, Shen Duan, do you not feel tired? With just your brain, you actually want to agitate me? I advise you to save yourself from the trouble.” Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Duan. Too weak. It really is too weak. This fighting power is even lower than Tang Nazhi’s.
"You little bastard!" Shen Duan flared up for not hitting the enemy. Such a scandal actually did not cause even a spark of ill-feelings from Shen Yanxiao.
"You should have died with your parents at that time. I shouldn't have left your life!"
"Shen Duan, are you saying that my parents’ death was related to you?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes at him. Before, she wasn’t thinking too much about her parents' death, but if Shen Duan was really involved in their death, she would never forgive him.
"Haha, is there any relation? Why does it matter?! But I’m not afraid to tell you, your father's death was my single-handed manipulation!” Shen Duan proudly announced. He had Ruan Yingzhe to depend on, after all; there was no need to think of the consequences.
Shen Duan's words let Shen Yanxiao's face sink immediately, and Shen Feng, who was standing behind her, almost fainted after hearing such news.
Shen Feng looked at Shen Duan incredulously. He stared at his own son he had been regarding highly.
“What did you say? Your younger brother, he... was really killed by you?” Shen Feng could hardly bear such a blow. His youngest son and daughter-in-law, who were most valued by him, were actually killed by his other son. This fact almost shattered the old man's heart.
Shen Duan did not care that his dirty deed was known by Shen Feng. He did not even have the slightest guilty conscience; instead he was very proud of it, "It was me, and it’s not only sixth brother, even eldest brother was also killed by me. It was only a pity that I had let this little bastard Shen Yanxiao off, otherwise she could not have meddled this much right now."
“You...how can you do such a thing! They are your brothers! Your blood-related brothers!” Shen Feng was really hit hard. Even though Shen Duan almost murdered him, he was unwilling to believe that Shen Duan could kill his own brothers.
Shen Duan sneered, "What blood-related brothers? Anybody who blocks me from becoming the Clan Head of the Vermillion Bird Clan should die! Father, you're old and confused. You've always favoured them. As I can see, unless they are dead, how can you hand over the clan to me and my son. To tell you the truth, not only those two, if you had the intention of handing over the Clan Head position to Shen Jing or Shen Ling, I also would have gotten rid of them already!"
Shen Feng only felt a pang in his chest; he lost his footing and almost fell. Fortunately, Shen Ling was fast enough to hold him up.
Shen Ling looked at his pale-looking father, and he was very sad. He angrily looked up at his older brother, "Shen Duan, you are crazy!"
Shen Duan laughed and said, "Human beings will die for riches, just as birds will die for food! You are the stupid one! Which part of me, Shen Duan, can't compare to those other brothers of yours? Eldest brother relied on his status as the eldest son. But then, why do I also need to contend even with the sixth son?!"
