Chapter 725 - Help (4)

“You… Great Master Ye Qing has already decided to help. He will ask the Emperor to intervene in this matter on his account. Right now, it is of most importance to rescue your grandfather.” Luo De had never seen Shen Yanxiao radiating such a murderous aura before. He could not imagine why a fourteen-year-old child would have such terrifying killing intent.

Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew that Luo De and Ye Qing had her best interest at heart and if Luo De had not inquired about the Vermilion Bird Family’s situation in the capital, Ye Qing would not have known of this news.

Shen Yanxiao was deeply grateful to Luo De from the depths of her heart and if not for him, she would not have known of the trouble faced by her only family member.

“Thank you Teacher Luo De and Teacher Ye Qing. But I wish to personally resolve this issue, as this is a private issue of the Vermilion Bird Family. Even if the Emperor were to intervene, it would be difficult for the issue to be solved. Moreover, my return to Saint Laurent Academy is because I have something else that requires Teacher Ye Qing’s help.” Shen Yanxiao refused Ye Qing and Luo De’s kind intentions. She was not being ignorant or unappreciative, but because she knew that the bastard seated on the throne would not be so kind to rescue Shen Feng.

If Luo De had heard of the news, how was it possible that the Emperor was unaware of the great changes in her family?

If he had the heart to resolve this issue, he would have already provided his assistance.

But clearly from his inaction in this issue, it was clear that he paid no heed to this matter. So, even if Ye Qing were to request for his aid, he would probably just display a few perfunctory acts, basically doing nothing of worth to resolve this issue.

Thus, rather than just waiting for that damn Emperor to lift his buttocks from his throne, Shen Yanxiao would rather settle this with her own hands.

“What do you need my help for?” Ye Qing asked curiously.

At that, Shen Yanxiao immediately told Ye Qing the problem Sun Never Sets was facing, which he promptly agreed to help without a second thought.

“I’d have to trouble Teacher Ye Qing to make this trip. I will send my mythical beast, Vermilion Bird, to send you and Teacher Yun Qi to the city,” Shen Yanxiao gratefully said.

Ye Qing immediately noticed a problem in what she was saying.

“If Vermilion Bird is sending us there, what about you?”

Shen Yanxiao expressionlessly narrowed her eyes.

“I will go to the capital.”

“You? Alone? Without a mythical beast?” Ye Qing was surprised. He was well aware of Vermilion Bird’s prowess, and with him by her side, he would not be worried even if she were to head for the capital.

However, Shen Yanxiao wanted Vermilion Bird to send them to her city, but what about her?

Does she really intend to head to the capital alone?

“My grandfather is suffering and as his granddaughter, I can’t possibly ignore this. However, the citizens in Sun Never Sets are also my family, and I cannot selfishly disregard them. Therefore, I can only have my mythical beast to send both of you to the Forsaken Land and I shall head for the imperial capital.” Shen Yanxiao didn’t want to waste anymore time.

Although treating the people in her city was important, the life of Shen Feng was just as important, if not more.

Therefore, to tackle these two problems at once, she could only send Ye Qing and Yun Qi with Vermilion Bird back to Sun Never Sets, while she alone headed towards the capital to save Shen Feng and Shen Ling.

The weight of responsibility on both sides was heavy, and as the bearer of those responsibilities and as their only source of hope, she could never let down any side!

“This won’t do! It’s too risky.” Ye Qing immediately rejected Shen Yanxiao’s proposal.

“We don’t know how many confidants your grandfather has in the family, but even all of them combined are not your uncles’ opponents. You going alone without your mythical beast is simply seeking death!” Shen Yanxiao’s plan was simply too dangerous. And as her teacher, he could not look on helplessly while Shen Yanxiao was sending herself to her death.

Since Shen Duan and Shen Yue dared to usurp the position of the Family Head, they must have the confidence to keep it. If Shen Yanxiao was to go there alone, how could she possibly go against them?
