Chapter 1306: Chapter 1305: Destroyed by My Own Hand
In the backyard pond of the Shen Family, Shen Yunlong stood there with a dull expression, his gaze falling on the fish swimming happily in the water, with a faint glint of violence in his eyes.
Why could such lowly things be so happy, while he, the distinguished young master of the Chen Family, ended up in such a position?
Lately, Shen Yunlong constantly thought about how, if he hadn’t driven Su Changfeng away, if he had treated Su Changfeng better, everything Wang Junyi had now would be in his hands.
But there was never a cure for regret in this world. Every time he thought about what he missed, Shen Yunlong felt a surge of anger and blood rushing inside him.
At this moment, Shen Yaowen came over, his expression equally unpleasant, looking like he hadn’t slept well in a long time.
"Xingluo has sent people again, and they are even more powerful. It seems they really want to recruit Wang Junyi," Shen Yaowen said.
Shen Yunlong snorted disdainfully, saying, "What is Wang Junyi worth? What Xingluo truly values is Su Changfeng."
Shen Yaowen nodded. He naturally understood this logic. Compared to Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi was nothing. Xingluo wouldn’t send people to Tianshui City twice just because they wanted to recruit him.
"Yes, what Xingluo wants is Su Changfeng. Even a place like Xingluo values him, but our Shen Family missed out. Is this fate?"
Shen Yunlong gritted his teeth. In a way, the Chen Family’s current predicament was his own doing. He naturally regretted it and hoped to find an opportunity to make up for it. However, Su Changfeng was completely unwilling to give them a chance to make amends, so Shen Yunlong slowly developed a hatred, even wanting to destroy Su Changfeng.
But with Shen Yunlong’s strength, there was no way he could do anything to Su Changfeng. He could only silently think about it in his heart.
"Father, have you ever heard about Xingluo accepting disciples?" Shen Yunlong asked.
Shen Yaowen glanced at his son, never expecting him to still hold out hope and even set his sights on those from Xingluo. However, those people are powerful, with such high standards, how could they be willing to accept him as a disciple?
Besides, there are so many proud sons of heaven in Xingluo. Any one of them has talent far superior to Shen Yunlong. How could he compare to those people?
"Ah, you still shouldn’t think about it. How could the experts of Xingluo take interest in ordinary people like us? Their status is so high, why would they care about a small person from Tianshui City?" Shen Yaowen couldn’t help but sigh.
"Is birth really that important? Is being born in Tianshui City my fault?" Shen Yunlong gritted his teeth, his tone filled with unwillingness.
Shen Yaowen’s smile was bitter. How could it not be important? Without even thinking, in the eyes of Xingluo’s people, birth is naturally extremely important. Compared to a small man in a small city, they are more willing to spend time and effort nurturing royal and noble families.
Just then, a servant hurriedly approached and said to Shen Yaowen, "Master, the people from Xingluo are inquiring everywhere in Tianshui City." That person told Shen Yaowen.
Shen Yaowen had long had people keeping an eye on the movements of Xingluo’s individuals, not with any particular purpose, just wanting to see what they intended to do.
"Inquiring? Inquiring about what?" Shen Yaowen frowned.
"It’s about the few people from Xingluo who were here before." The servant replied.
Shen Yaowen frowned even deeper, glancing at Shen Yunlong beside him.
Shen Yunlong said, "Weren’t those people from Xingluo long gone from Tianshui City? Why suddenly inquire about them?"
"I heard they want to know how many people saw those individuals when they left, but what exactly happened is still unclear," the servant said.
The father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes. Those people had clearly left a long time ago, so why were their whereabouts being inquired about again out of nowhere?
Could it be they didn’t return? Or did something happen?
Shen Yunlong gestured for the servant to leave.
The servant bowed to the two of them and left.
"Father, what do you think this means?" Shen Yunlong asked Shen Yaowen with a puzzled look.
Shen Yaowen was also puzzled. Logically, those people left Tianshui City and should have returned to Xingluo by now. Given that, why would Xingluo suddenly investigate the previous events?
Moreover, from the current situation, it seems the purpose of these few from Xingluo is not that simple; they probably don’t just want to recruit Su Changfeng.
"Now, we need to figure out why they are suddenly inquiring about this news," Shen Yaowen said.
"The ones who came before were all Seventh-rank Experts, three Seventh Rank experts, with obvious strength. After leaving Tianshui City, nothing should have happened to them, right?" Shen Yunlong said.
Shen Yaowen seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly turning grave. He spoke in a deep voice, "What if it wasn’t after they left Tianshui City that something happened, but within Tianshui City?"
Shen Yunlong’s expression also changed. He looked at Shen Yaowen with a face of disbelief and said, "Father, are you suspecting this has something to do with Su Changfeng?"
Shen Yaowen naturally wouldn’t rashly utter such words. Shaking his head, he said, "We don’t know the specifics of what’s happening, so how could I easily suspect Su Changfeng?"
Saying this, Shen Yaowen continued, "Unless..."
"Unless what?" Shen Yunlong asked urgently.
"Unless we find out why this batch from Xingluo is asking about this news," Shen Yaowen said.
To figure out the specific reason, one could only ask those individuals. But with the Shen Family’s status, how could they interfere in this matter easily? They didn’t even have the qualification to meet Xingluo’s visitors.
However, Shen Yunlong had a strong intuitive feeling that something must have happened to those people, which is why these individuals came to investigate.
And Shen Yunlong believed that if something unforeseen did happen to those people, it must be related to Su Changfeng. After all, those people were all Seventh-rank experts. Who else in Tianshui City could contend with three Seventh Rank experts besides him?
At this moment, a mad speculation suddenly appeared in Shen Yunlong’s mind.
If those people indeed encountered an accident connected to Su Changfeng, then Xingluo would certainly destroy Su Changfeng.
A perverse thrill arose in his heart. He couldn’t have it, nor did he want others to. The only way was to destroy it with his own hands!
