Chapter 30 - Shen Xua

Shen Ruo and Shen Xua were in a carriage, going to school. Shen Xua turned to Shen Ruo, "Do you believe that the trash is a cultivator?", Shen Xua wanted to get closer to Shen Ruo, he was afraid Shen Hua wanted to take revenge on what he already did to him, so he wanted to be close to Shen Ruo which is important to Shen Ruo and Shen Wei.

Shen Ruo looked at Shen Xua then looked at the window, "You won't want to approach me."

Shen Xua was surprised by Shen Ruo's response, "Why not?"

Shen Ruo looked Shen Xua in the eye and said, "Because the person you want to protect yourself from is my closest family."

"What do you-", Shen Xua started to speak but was interrupted by the door opening.

"He means I'm the best big brother.", Shen Hua came in and sat next to Shen Ruo. He looked at Shen Xua who was shaking of fear, "I don't bite, you don't have to be afraid.", Shen Hua smiled.

"What are you doing here?", Shen Xua mustered up the courage to speak.

"I came to kidnap my brother.", Shen Hua laughed a little and turned to Shen Ruo, "Did you check my patio?"

"Of course! I brought my things too, knew you would come.", Shen Ruo smiled pointing at the bag.

"Perfect!" Shen Hua smiled at Shen Ruo and turned to Shen Xua with a serious look, "Now, let's talk."

"What do you want? Are you going to kill me?", Shen Xua began to shiver a lot but refused to beseech Shen Hua.

"It's up to you.", Shen Hua pulled two vials out of his pocket, one blue and one red, he held one in each hand, "If you take the blue vial you will forget it and I will let you go. If taking the red one, will working for me. Think carefully, because there will be no going back.", Shen Hua said as he showed the vials. 'I couldn't make pills, but what counts is the reference.'

"What if I don't want to?" Shen Xua didn't want any of the options, 'If I come back without Shen Ruo and not knowing what happened, Shen Wei will kill me. Working for Shen Hua doesn't seem like a good option either.'

"I'll kill you," Shen Hua said calmly but one could feel the discontent in his voice, 'Don't spoil my reference, stupid!'

Shen Xua began to think, 'I can say that I will work for him and then tell Shen Wei everything.'

"If you're thinking of cheating on me, I wouldn't advise. This vial contains poison, if I don't give you the antiduct, you will die.", Shen Hua knew that would be Shen Xua's first thought, "And you should know, even if I Killing you Shen Wei probably will ignore. "

Shen Xua heard Shen Hua and thought again, 'He's right, even killing me Shen Wei wouldn't punish him. I only have one option left.', Shen Xua took the red bottle and took it.

"Great, now you work for me. I need you to do three things for me. If you do one, I'll let you live. If you do two, I'll let you have the Shen family. And if you do all three I'll give you a better job and make sure this job is worth more than being the patriarch.", Shen Hua spoke with a smile to Shen Xua.

Shen Xua didn't expect Shen Hua to offer her this, 'Will he give me the Shen family ?! And what work is this better than being a patriarch?', Shen Xua was excited by the rewards, "So what do you want me to do?"

"I have three questions. The first, I want you to find out who ran the Shen family business before Shen Wei took over. The second is the list of killers who work for the Shen family. The third is why Li Xiao Lin hates me, I'll give you this for help you.", Shen Hua handed the blue bottle to Shen Xua, "Make it Li Xiao Lin drink this and then ask, the more you find out the better."

Shen Xua took the flask and put it away, "Fine I do, but what am I going to do now? If I come back like this Shen Wei will kill me, you saw how angry he is."

"Tell him Itachi did it.", Shen Ruo said, he heard all the quiet conversation watching his brother.

"What if he finds out we use his name? He won't want to kill us?", Shen Xua was even more afraid, he knows Itachi was the one who almost killed Shen Mu inside the house.

"Don't worry about it, he won't kill us.", Shen Hua said smiling.

"How are you sure?", Shen Xua did not understand how they were so calm in using someone else's name.

Shen Hua stood up and put his hand on Shen Xua's shoulder, "Because I am him."

After he spoke it dealt a blow to Shen Xua's neck causing him to pass out. He turned to Shen Ruo, "Let's go."

Shen Ruo grabbed his bag and got out of the carriage with Shen Hua, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the Min family house.", Shen Hua responded by walking in front of Shen Ruo. Recalling the conversation with Min Feng, he added, "Ohh, yesterday I was adopted by Min Ji and Min Su's father, and you will be soon."

Shen Ruo was very surprised at what Shen Hua said, "What do you mean? Why?"

"It's just no big deal. We have more fun things to do now." Shen Hua stopped and turned to Shen Ruo, "You didn't want to become a cultivator? Let's go get your crystal."

Shen Hua got very excited, "Really! And where are we going? What spiritual beast we will hunt? ...", Shen Ruo started asking a lot of questions, he paused, looked at Shen Hua, "Then I won't go anymore to school?"

Shen Hua stopped and turned to Shen Ruo with a look of disappointment, "I risk being caught by Shen Wei to get you out, I'm going to hunt a spiritual beast for you, and you're more interested in seeing your girlfriend?", Shen Hua turned and quickened his pace.

Shen Ruo followed him with your face red, "Brother, that's not it."

Without turning around or slowing down Shen Hua said, "I understand, now that you have a girlfriend your brother not good enough. Okay, no problem.', Shen Hua would not miss the chance to make fun of Shen Ruo, 'He made it too easy. '

Shen Hua continued to play with Shen Ruo until they reached Min residence.

-------

The class had started in, 'He didn't come.', Yami was sitting in the same spot last time. Seeing that Shen Ruo wouldn't show up she got up and left the room.

"Yami, pack your things I need to take a trip and you go with me.", A man approached her and spoke hurriedly.

"Ok, master! Where are we going?", Yami said cheering up.

"Diamond kingdom.", the man said running to his office.

-------

"So where are we going?", Shen Ruo asked again when they reached Min residence.

"Diamond kingdom.", Shen Hua stopped disturbing Shen Ruo and responded as he entered the house.
