Going Home (2)
Shen Yanxiao stepped into her family's estate. Every blade of grass and tree looked familiar, so she felt comfortable. That was how it felt to have a family.
Shen Feng went to them amid the servant's screams. As he walked toward the Vermilion Bird, Shen Feng respectfully said, "Welcome back, Vermilion Bird. I am sorry, but I wonder why you have come back at this time and why Xiaoxiao isn't with you." Shen Feng was polite, but he still remembered to inquire about his granddaughter's whereabouts.
Shen Yanxiao chuckled. The Vermilion Bird threw his master a look and said, "Tell him yourself."
Shen Yanxiao stepped forward and greeted Shen Feng. "Grandfather, I am Xiaoxiao, your granddaughter."
Shen Feng was startled. For a moment, he was in disbelief as he looked at the pretty and cute girl in front of him.
"What… is happening here?" Shen Feng felt as if his brain had stopped working.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. "Grandpa, this is how I look in real life. I just hid my true appearance before I went to the academy in case of unwanted troubles."
Shen Feng was finally sure that the little girl there was his granddaughter when he heard her familiar voice. He was thrilled as he studied Shen Yanxiao's appearance. A pleasant surprise glistened in his eyes when he noticed something similar to his son and daughter-in-law in Shen Yanxiao's eyes.
"Is this you? Why are you back?" Shen Feng could not conceal the happiness on his face.
"That is a long story. Grandpa, let us go inside for now."
"Right… Right. Hurry and get dinner ready. Xiaoxiao must be exhausted from a long journey. Tell someone to get Seventh Miss' room ready." Shen Feng was over the moon. He gave instructions to the servants while he attended to Shen Yanxiao.
The servants were stunned. Their silly and ugly Seventh Miss had become that astonishingly beautiful person. How did that happen?
While seized with pleasure, Shen Feng noticed Lan Fengli by Shen Yanxiao's side. "And this is?" he asked.
Shen Yanxiao explained, "This is a younger brother I had picked up. Many things have happened recently, so I will have to tell you bit by bit."
Shen Feng stared at Lan Fengli. The kid was somewhat ill at ease, but he looked gorgeous, and he was not impolite. Shen Feng nodded and did not utter more questions.
He took them to his study. Shen Feng could not wait to find out what other surprises his little granddaughter had for him.
Since Shen Yanxiao left for the academy, Shen Feng had been concerned about her. She had to leave home just as her mind recovered. He was unwilling to let her go, and yet he was forced to do so. Shen Yanxiao could not train in either battle aura of magical power. Even though the Vermilion Bird had recognized her, she would not convince others if she was not proficient in any line of study. He could still subjugate his sons for the moment. However, when he was gone, Shen Yanxiao would have to take charge of them by herself.
That was why Shen Feng had made that decision.
The appearance of the two Phoenixes had taken him by surprise. He was curious as to what his granddaughter had learned in the Saint Laurent Academy. How could she send two mythical creatures home without so much as batting her eyes?
"Grandfather, how are the Phoenixes?" Shen Yanxiao did not forget about the little Phoenix's parents.
"I believe they have made a home. I sent my trusted subordinate to send them food regularly. I heard that they were quite content," Shen Feng answered with a smile.
"Good." Then, Shen Yanxiao picked the little Phoenix up from Vermilion Bird's head and put it in front of Shen Feng.
