"Shouldn't you be at school?", Shen Hua is having breakfast with Yami and Min Su. Earlier that day Min Su and Shen Ruo left for the branch family. They are not cultivators, so trip should take a week.
"No, I'm not a student there, I just went to classes kill time while Master was busy.", Yami arrived earlier that day. She went for two reasons, first to tell Shen Hua what Shen Xua found out, and second because her master asked her call Shen Hua for a training section.
"Got it, so what did Shen Xua tell you?" Shen Hua put his arm on the table. His arm is hurting badly, he treated the shoulder wound and made some medicine, but it was not enough.
"A lot. About the killers, Shen Wei has twenty five of them, twenty three are low levels and two medium levels. Shen Xua didn't find out the names, but he gave me the way Shen Wei communicates with them and the list of pending murders.", Yami took out a paper from his space ring and handed it to Shen Hua.
"That's great! With that I'll be able to kill them all. And I'll still be able to get some support,
telling the targets what Shen Wei plained.", Shen Hua picked up the list and read, "There's only one thing wrong, Shen Wei doesn't have twenty-five killers, he's thirteen."
"What do you mean?", Yami had a bad feeling about what Shen Hua said, she realized he had propped his arm on the table before.
"Yesterday he sent twelve of them come kill me. I killed them all.", Shen Hua massaged his shoulder, "But I wasn't perfect in the battle. They were very strong.", Shen Hua smiled.
"What?!", Min Su hit the table, broke it.
"Hey! Don't waste food!", Shen Hua made several thin tentacles with his sand and picked up all the falling plates and glasses.
Shen Hua has trained his control over his powers a lot since Lu Yin told him about passing the level. The main element that he trained on was his sand, because, in the short term, is his strongest offensive ability.
Min Ji was surprised by what Shen Hua did, 'When did he improve his control over his element so much?', he knows how hard it is to have such precise control over an element. "Sorry. But about the killers-", he wanted to know more about it, after all Shen Hua is his friend and anyone hurt him.
"Don't worry. I didn't ask for help because I didn't want to. The only way to get better is thus, going through life and death situations, besides. Do not worry was just a cut on the shoulder. And I already took care of that, at this moment Shen Wei already must be freaking out.", Shen Hua laughed happily.
"What did you do?", Yami took her glass, which Shen Hua was holding, for what she know about Shen Hua, he did something interesting.
"I sent the twelve heads to him. I also threatened him but that's a detail.", Shen Hua picked up the two pieces of the table and unified them with his wires as he spoke. "What else did Shen Xua tell you?", Shen Hua asked Yami as he set the plates on the table and retract his sand.
Yami looked at Shen Hua doubtfully, she didn't know whether to tell Shen Hua or not. In the end chose to tell, Shen Hua would find out anyway.
"This is a very personal matter. I'll tell you-", Yami looked at Min Ji, "But only for you."
"No need, you can tell everything.", Shen Hua said leaning back in his chair. He didn't expect this condition but trusted Min Ji so didn't see the need for him to leave.
"Alright. I'm going out.", Min Ji was happy with what Shen Hua said, but seeing Yami's expression, he understood that is a very delicate matter. Then he got up and left.
"Now we're alone, can talk.", Shen Hua was not happy with the way the situation was, but if Yami asked for it he understood that the information is not as simple he thought.
"Shen Xiao had two sons Shen Wei, the oldest, and Shen Hao, the youngest. Shen Hao was a prodigy, in both cultivation and business, Shen Xiao seeing this let him take over all the family business and made him the young master . After a few years he married Fu Xiao Xiao, another prodigy, she was not noble but with her talent Shen Xiao didn't care. When Lu Xiao Xiao got pregnant, before having the baby she was kidnapped and Shen Hao went after her. Li Xiao Lin told everyone that Fu Xiao Xiao's baby died, and even showed the body. After years Fu Xiao Xiao sent a letter saying that Shen Hao was dead and never came back.", Yami told the same story that Shen Xua told her.
"So Shen Hao was in control of the business. That part I understood, but why you told that story.", Shen Hua had a hunch but didn't think it was possible.
The reason Shen Hua asked this question was to find out the previous owner of the room where he found Ichimaru's crystal, he thought he could find this person and if he was an ally he could ask for help, but now that he found out he was dead he didn't care more.
"This has to do with you because this child was you. Shen Wei is not his father, his father is Shen Hao. Li Xiao Lin was in love with Shen Hao and hated his mother. Lu Xiao Xiao left you with her and she exchanged you with son of one of Shen Wei's concubine. When the woman found out, Li Xiao Lin killed her. She did it just to torture him. To take revenge your mother, for marrying Shen Hao.", Yami said sadly for Shen Hua, she thought he would be depressed,so handed a handkerchief to him.
"Why are you giving me this? Do you think I'm going to cry?", Shen Hua looked at her calmly, "Is my father dead? And then? As far as I know I never had a father. Regarding my mother I never knew her, so I have no reason to care about her. From story you said for me she left me to protect me, so I have no grudge against her, but that doesn't mean I care about her.", Shen Hua spoke truthfully.
He has never met them and has no reason to care about them. He lived many years with his parents in his previous life so didn't care much about knowing he could have new ones. The only thing he felt was pity for the previous owner of the body for thinking that Shen Wei was his father and his mother was dead.
"Just one thing. Don't tell Shen Ruo that, ever. He's my brother and it won't change anything.", Shen Hua said very seriously. He cares a lot about Shen Ruo and didn't want him to find out they weren't blood brothers. He doesn't care but he doesn't know how Shen Ruo would react to that.
"Fine. But do you think that would be the best?", Yami wouldn't count if it was a request from Shen Hua, but she thought Shen Hua would better tell than Shen Ruo find out from someone else.
"I'll think about it. Come on, Lu Yin should be waiting for us already.", Shen Hua got up to leave the room. He is very excited to receive training from Lu Yin.
