Shen Feng appeared to be alone in his room. He took a deep breath and sat on the chair while his gaze looked towards the back of the screen inside the room.
"You knew that the Vermillion Bird would choose Xiaoxiao if she went to the Lava Valley. Was that why you insisted that I let her go with them as a candidate?" Shen Feng suddenly asked the seemingly empty room.
"It doesn't matter whether I knew or not. Now that you've welcomed the return of the Vermilion Bird and you also managed to protect your granddaughter at the same time, isn't that great?" As a gentle voice answered him, Shen Siyu in a light-blue robe slowly walked out from behind the screen. His usual gentle demeanor was replaced with a cold gaze.
"You're right, it's great." Shen Feng nodded.
