Within the study room, only Shen Feng remained. As he sat in his chair, he took a deep breath. His sight fell on the rear of the study room.
"You already knew that when Xiaoxiao proceeded towards the lava valley, she'd certainly be chosen by the Vermillion Bird, didn't you? Therefore, only then, did you insist on having me to add her to the list of candidates?" Shen Feng suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
"Whether or not I knew that isn't important. Since you've welcomed the Vermillion Bird and were also able to save your granddaughter, isn't that good enough?" Accompanying the refined voice was a body wearing light blue clothing, Shen Siyu, who proceeded to slowly walk out from the rear screen of the room. The previous tender look he'd had in the daytime was now exceptionally cold and detached.
"You're right, that's very good." Shen Feng nodded.
"That's already sufficient. As for the Holy Roland School, you must have people bribing it appropriately. Before she graduates, you mustn't let anyone outside of the Vermillion Bird Clan know about her circumstances." Shen Siyu coldly and detachedly looked at Shen Feng, without the slightest bit of respect of the daytime.
Shen Feng looked at the Shen Siyu who was before him, who was as different as black and white. It appeared that Shen Feng was already accustomed to Shen Siyu's current attitude.
Having Shen Yanxiao added to the Vermillion Bird's candidate list wasn't really a part of Shen Feng's last minute plan that he'd devised, but rather was something that this youngster before his eyes had insisted upon.
"You're afraid that the other clans will have some sort of movement?"
Shen Siyu lightly nodded and indifferently like a cold wind, he said, "I won't allow anyone to injure her before she's able to protect herself."
…
"Speaking of it, how's that pharmacist?" As soon as Shen Yanxiao had returned to her room, she'd sat on the chair. She was both very careful and extremely touched regarding Shen Feng's suggestion.
However, she didn't plan to inform anyone about her current strength, that she had cultivated both Dou Qi and magic, because as of now, she still wasn't strong enough. If she was to prematurely reveal her own trump card, it'd only allow her enemies the ability to plan even better against her.
The Vermillion Bird was currently lying on the bed on its stomach. After resting for a decent period of time, he'd finally recovered some vigor. However, subsequently, his completely self-important face had also returned.
'Being a pharmacist is a pretty good pick, however the question is whether or not you have sufficient mental strength.' Regarding Shen Yanxiao's matter of becoming strong, Xiu paid quite a lot attention to.
"Then, there shouldn't be a problem, right? The main issue is about the undoing of the seal; as for the others, they're still okay." Shen Yanxiao could still be counted to be understanding towards her current circumstances. After her seal had been undone, her promotion speed was akin to a rocket taking off.
Therefore, she wasn't worried about wasting too much of her time cultivating both Dou Qi and magic. Actually, this pharmacist thing that seemed to have quite an easy way to earn money held quite an awful lot of her interest.
'If that's so, give it a try then. However, the role of an ordinary pharmacist isn't that big; only when you've ascended to a higher level, will you only then magnified out its role." Xiu seriously analyzed as he spoke.
"Wait a minute!" The Vermillion Bird, which had been lying down as stiff as a corpse on the bed, suddenly jumped up. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and said, "Seal? What seal?"
Shen Yanxiao shot a glance towards the Vermillion Bird, and naively rolled up her sleeve so that her 7 Stars Locking Moon Seal on her hand was visible.
"This is the 7 Stars Locking Moon?!" The Vermillion Bird looked astonishingly at Shen Yanxiao.
"You, little girl, who have you offended for someone to unexpectedly spend this much of their strength to give you the 7 Stars Locking Moon?!"
Shen Yanxiao looked suspiciously at the Vermillion Bird. It was very clear that the Vermillion Bird knew about this seal as well.
"You know about this seal?"
The Vermillion Bird snorted and said, "Nonsense! I've lived more than ten thousand years. The 7 Stars Locking Moon Seal was what people researched and created a few millennia ago, during the war with the Devil God. Most of the seals were used on captives of both sides—the formidable wargods. You're nothing more than an ordinary human, so why would someone use such a formidable seal in order to inhibit your strength?"
