"Greetings to my eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and ninth brother!"
Shen Yuyan dashed forward to pay his respects. Upon seeing the Shen Family's Second Elder, Shen Yiyun, his heart eased somewhat, relieved that his superiors hadn't lost their heads in anger and had the sense to send Second Elder Shen to stabilize the situation.
Murong Yunji and Old Jiu merely gave Shen Yuyan a cursory glance before falling silent, as neither of them could actually recognize who he was.
The patriarch of the Shen Family was hale and hearty, fathering no small number of children. If one were to consult the Shen Family genealogy, there would be at least a thousand names listed, but among the families of magicians, only those who inherited a certain technique could be regarded as the direct lineage and granted a separate household. Over the years, the Shen Family had established only twelve such households.
