"Finally!", Shen Hua shouted when they saw the Raven Imperial City, after running for five days they finally saw the city on the horizon.
"Why are you so excited?", Yami asked, after spending so much time together the three were close.
"In two days there will be the elemental poker tournament. There is also the division of the serve, I am very excited to see what I will win.", Shen Hua replied walking in front of the group.
Shen Hua and Shen Ruo disguised again as they entered Raven. They dressed up covers that cover the whole body and wore makeup again, they look like two kids, not drawing any attention. As Lu Yin and Yami are not very well known they do not need to disguise themselves.
"Let's go to the Min family home to share the loot.", Shen Hua said as he walked.
"Min family house? Aren't you from the Shen family?", Yami asked Shen Ruo.
"Don't you two know what happened?", Shen Hua and Shen Ruo were surprised by Yami's question.
"What are you talking about?", Lu Yin looked at Shen Hua in confusion.
"Ok! I'll talk about the problems the Shen family is having, draw your own conclusions.", Shen Hua stopped walking and looked at Lu Yin and Yami.
"The Shen family armor shop was robbed by a mysterious cultivator named Itachi, then that same cultivator beat Shen Mu almost to death inside the Shen family main residence. Shen Wei tried to trap this cultivator and used a carriage full of bait merchandise that was stolen by the same cultivator in the middle of the city leaving no clue. To finish off this cultivator kidnapped the Shen family's new prodigy, Shen Ruo, while he was going to school.", Shen Hua turned and continued walking, shocking Lu Yin and Yami.
"And is this cultivator thinking of doing what now?", Lu Yin was very interested in what Shen Hua said, 'If he destroys the Shen family, on one side my niece won't have to marry Shen Mu, on the other Shen Xiao can get angry and cause a mess. '
"If you're worried about Shen Xiao don't worry, he should know it's me who did it.", Lu Yin and Shen Ruo were surprised by what Shen Hua said.
"Brother, what do you mean?", Shen Ruo asked fearfully, if Shen Xiao knew everything Shen Hua did he must be very angry.
"I thought about that after kidnapping you. Shen Xiao sure knew about that and yet he didn't summon the army to look for you, even though he is no longer a general he should still have the influence to give an order like that, if he couldn't, he would go out looking for yourself, but he did nothing. The only reason for him to do that is if he knew you were safe, and the only way to do that is by knowing my identity.", Shen Ruo was calmer when Shen Hua explained. Lu Yin, listening to Shen Hua, calmed down too.
'He's right, there's no way that old man can't do anything with his grandson being kidnapped. That's great! It means that he doesn't care about the fall of the Shen family, he also can't take that Shen Wei trash anymore. So this marriage with Shen Mu won't happen. 'Lu Yin was very happy, he met Shen Mu and didn't thought him a good husband for his niece.
"Then you can give me a gift for ending the marriage. I accept a spiritual item, Master." Shen Hua guessed that Lu Yin was happy for the end of the marriage, after all he would not like to have Shen Mu in his family either.
Lu Yin laughed a little but said nothing. The group arrived in the city and went to the residence of the Min family. With the disguises Shen Hua and Shen Ruo were not recognized.
While they walking around town they heard news about Shen Wei, he fought with Shen Xiao causing the latter to destroy half of the raging Shen family complex.
Shen Wei had all the servants of the Shen family search across the country for Shen Ruo, and to his surprise Shen Wei also ordered him to look for his 'lost son' who was taken by his mother, Shen Hua knew it could only be him. Shen Wei
can not reveal his name because many people know that the name of Shen Wei's 'dead' son was Shen Hua.
He publicized the marriage between Shen Mu and the princess, surprising the whole city. Finally he fought with Min Feng being beaten by the latter and forcing the Imperial Family to intervene and help him save his own face.
'I didn't know one people could f*ck so much in such a short time.' Ichimaru, who listened to everything, said amused. 'You're right, he must have broken a record.', Shen Hua replied happily.
'The only way for this announcement to happen is for Shen Wei to do so without the consent of the royal family. After all they Imperial Family would not will join the Shen family with recent problems. If he is already going against the royal family he just needs a push to drive him crazy. The more destabilized he is, the easier I will be able to avenge the former owner of this body.', Shen Hua thought, he was very happy with the development.
While Shen Hua is happy Lu Yin is the opposite, hearing about marriage he could not be in a worse mood, 'This rubbish! What did he do to my brother to accept this deal? I have to do something about it.'
Remembering something, Shen Hua looked at Lu Yin, "Business first, then I can even help you get rid of this marriage, after all my 'brother' likes her and it's my duty to help you.", Shen Hua said heroically.
"You just want to take advantage, if your friend marries her you will gain more influence.", Lu Yin became a little calmer and joked with Shen Hua, he deduced that he is talking about one of the Min family children by the way that Shen Hua spoke.
"Maybe. But it's a situation where everyone wins, I gain influence, my 'brother' wins the girl he likes, and you won't have Shen Mu as your nephew. Besides screwing up with Shen Wei's plan, which is a bonus.", Shen Hua said smiling.
"Hey, who is this 'brother' that Shen Hua is talking about?", Yami approached Shen Ruo and asked.
"It's Min Su, the eldest son of the Min family.", Shen Ruo replied blushing a little and moving away from Yami.
As Shen Ruo moved Nero flew out from under his cloak and landed on Yami's shoulder, rubbing his face with hers. In recent days Nero has grown a little and started to fly, he can attack with his claws, but cannot use any elemental skills.
"Hi Nero. Are you hungry?", Yami stroked Nero's neck while talking to him. Nero rose and waved his wings agreeing.
Yami and Shen Ruo stayed behind feeding Nero together. Shen Hua and Lu Yin saw them both and decided to ignore them. After some time the four arrived at the Min Residence.
