Chapter 1742 Mother and Son
At this moment, the young man in red called Shen Yuting: "Wait, Fellow Daoist Shen, let's make it clear first. You don't think we are easy to fool, do you? You clearly agreed with my Tianfeng clan to marry the member of the clan who thought she had reversion to her ancestral state to my cousin. When we arrived at your Shen family, her husband was still there. What? Do you want us to kill her husband ourselves? Let us bear the infamy of the Tianfeng clan?"
Shen Tianfeng's move was to roast the Tianfeng clan on the fire rack and pick the Shen family clean. The Tianfeng clan will bear the misfortune and the Shen family will enjoy the blessing. How can it be so easy?
Shen Yuting heard this, her face was full of frost, and she said coldly: "Whoever dares to touch my husband, I will never be polite to him."
She didn't think of this at all. If Shen Tianfeng hadn't threatened Shi Yunxuan, Shen Yuting would not have appeared here at all.
She never thought that Shen Tianfeng would calculate her like this. If the people of the Qingluan clan hadn't said it, she would still be kept in the dark.
Shen Tianfeng frowned. He had never thought of killing Shi Yunxuan. Shen Yuting was too stubborn. She would not be able to change her mind. If the Shen family sent someone to kill Shi Yunxuan, it would not be a matter of Shen Yuting falling out with the family. Shen Yuting would investigate whoever did it and whoever gave the order. It was definitely not a joke.
Shen Tianfeng could only think of a compromise and transfer Shi Yunxuan away. However, Luan Yiming did not greet him in advance and came a little suddenly, disrupting all his arrangements. He did not have time to unify his words with Shen Yuting. As soon as Shen Yuting came, she said that her husband was still there, which made Shen Tianfeng embarrassed.
Shi Yue's arrival gave Shen Tianfeng a chance to find a way out, but the people of the Qingluan clan brought the topic back, and he was in a dilemma.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you must give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter, otherwise I will report to the clan leader on time and we will not contact each other in the future." Luan Yiming said with a cold face.
Instead of fighting for bread, he was asked to kill Shen Yuting's husband? Wouldn't he be labeled as a husband-killer and wife-robber? Shen Yuting was just a Divine Transformation cultivator. Even if she had atavism, it was not worth Luan Yiming's doing this.
The Shen family was embarrassing Luan Yiming. With Shi Yue present, Luan Yiming would naturally not back down. He had to be strong.
If he backed down, what would Shi Yue think of him? He did such a bad thing for a woman?
He glanced at Shi Yue, and sure enough, Shi Yue frowned and his face was a little livid.
"What? Fellow Daoist Shen, do you want Fellow Daoist Luan to kill your great-grandson-in-law? Let your great-granddaughter remarry? Can't you see? You are quite courageous." Shi Yue's tone was cold.
If Shen Tianfeng had not been Shi Yue's elder, Shi Yue would have turned against him long ago.
Shen Tianfeng wanted to force his mother to remarry and kill Shi Yunxuan with the help of others?
No matter how well-educated Shi Yue was, he would be furious.
Xiaoyaozi sneered and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Using someone else's hand to kill his great-grandson-in-law and force his great-granddaughter to remarry? It's really a wonder in the history of the world."
He knew very well how much Shi Yue valued Shi Yunxuan and Shen Yuting. He never thought that Shen Tianfeng would do such a stupid thing.
Shen Tianfeng was also a face-saving person. Hearing this, he showed displeasure. If it weren't for the fact that Luan Yiming and Shi Yue were of high status, he would have ordered them to leave.
"You two fellow Taoists have misunderstood. I never said I would do this. This is my family affair. I can handle it. Fellow Taoist Luan, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer. Fellow Taoist Shi rarely comes to our Shen family, so stay for a few more days." Shen Tianfeng suppressed his anger and said calmly.
Shi Yue snorted coldly and said, "Family affairs? So, Fellow Daoist Shen really wants to force his great-granddaughter to remarry? You, as an elder, are really so powerful."
Shen Tianfeng was clearly trying to smooth things over. If Shi Yue guessed correctly, Shen Tianfeng must have used Shi Yunxuan as a bargaining chip to threaten Shen Yuting, and used his own father to threaten his mother. How could Shi Yue, as a son, endure this?
No matter who it is, he cannot separate his parents, even if this person is Shi Yue's elder.
Luan Yiming showed a playful expression on his face. It seemed that Shi Yue couldn't stand it anymore.
Shen Tianfeng's face turned ugly after hearing this. He respected Shi Yue as a guest, so he gave him some face. My goodness, Shi Yue is going to turn the tables?
"Fellow Daoist Shi, this is the Shen family. I don't need to report to you how I do things! No matter how powerful your Xiancao Palace is, it can't control our Shen family." Shen Tianfeng frowned and said. If Shi Yue wanted to control the Shen family's affairs, he would never agree.
"I think we should stop here today! Everyone calm down and talk in private." Xiaoyaozi made a smooth talk.
With Luan Yiming present, it was not convenient for Shi Yue to explain clearly to Shen Tianfeng.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, Fellow Daoist Luan, you are tired from the journey. I have arranged accommodation for you. You can go down and rest first!" Shen Tianfeng went down the stairs.
He didn't want to compete with Shi Yue. It was rare for someone to make a smooth talk, so Shen Tianfeng went down the stairs.
Luan Yiming was a little surprised to see Shi Yue quarreling with Shen Tianfeng. He didn't want to see Shen Tianfeng and Shi Yue fighting against each other. If Shi Yue and Shen Tianfeng broke up, Luan Yiming would not benefit either. He didn't have much friendship with Shi Yue. Without Shen Tianfeng as a middleman, Luan Yiming couldn't talk to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue didn't object and left with the Shen family members. Luan Yiming and the other two also went down to rest.
Shen Tianfeng frowned. He was not stupid. He could see that Shi Yue's expression was a little strange when talking about Shen Yuting. You know, before that, Shi Yue was quite polite to her. Could it be that Shi Yue was really Shen Yuting's child? Or was it just the same name?
He made a bold assumption. Shi Yue was accepted as a disciple by a Mahayana cultivator by chance. Since then, his cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds. With the help of his master, Shi Yue has been unimpeded all the way and cultivated to the fusion stage.
If this is the case, then it makes sense. Having the same name and surname can be said to be a coincidence, but Shi Yue's attitude towards Shen Yuting is unusual. Shi Yue is likely to be Shen Yuting's son.
If Shi Yue is an outsider, how Shen Tianfeng deals with Shen Yuting is none of Shi Yue's business.
"You can see it too! Shi Yue seems to be a little different to you. Do you think he will be your son?" Shen Tianfeng said in a deep voice.
Xiancao Palace took in Shi Yunxuan, and Shi Yue's attitude towards Shen Yuting was a little special. For Shen Yuting, Shi Yue did not hesitate to confront Shen Tianfeng. This is too strange.
"This... can't be! Yue'er and I have been separated for more than 400 years, and I have advanced from the Qi Refining Stage to the Fusion Stage? Even if it is a demon, it is not possible to cultivate to the Fusion Stage in such a short time." Shen Yuting said in disbelief.
"What if his master is in the Mahayana stage? There is still a great possibility. It seems that I was wrong. I should have sent someone to Baisha Star." Shen Tianfeng regretted it greatly.
If Shi Yue was really Shen Yuting's son, Shen Tianfeng would have wanted to slap himself twice.
With the invasion of the demonic path, the power of the Shen family continued to shrink. He was desperate to try all means and was eager to cling to the Tianfeng clan, so he did something stupid.
Shen Tianfeng can't be blamed. He had guessed it before, but there was no other evidence. The Shen family was in urgent need of a backer, otherwise it would probably be wiped out in this disaster. By then, Shen Tianfeng would be the eternal sinner of the Shen family, and he couldn't bear this bad reputation.
The Shen family has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. I don't know how many storms it has experienced. If it was destroyed in the hands of Shen Tianfeng, how could he face his ancestors.
For the sake of the whole family, he had to cling to the Tianfeng clan, and the human race would not accept him!
"Great-grandfather, are you really going to marry me to the Tianfeng clan?" Shen Yuting said with a frown.
She still couldn't accept that her great-grandfather, who loved her since childhood, married her to the Tianfeng clan for the sake of profit, and even killed Shi Yunxuan for this.
"You don't know the situation outside. Do you know how many forces with combined cultivators have been destroyed? Do you know how many forces have been wiped out? The demons are in chaos, and the human forces are rejecting our Shen family. If we are not careful, the Shen family will be wiped out. What do you want me to do? Fight hard? I can't bear it. If I am not careful, the whole family will be wiped out." Shen Tianfeng said helplessly.
If he hadn't been forced, he wouldn't do such a thing. He didn't want to force his great-granddaughter. He had no choice.
Shen Yuting was silent for a while, and then she said, "Are you going to kill my husband?"
"How strong your temper is, how can I not know? I didn't think of killing him, I just hid him. Who would have thought that Shi Yue would kill him out." Shen Tianfeng sighed.
Shen Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If Shi Yue of the Immortal Grass Palace was not my son, you would still force me to marry the Qingluan clan."
"Yuting, I have a heavy burden on my shoulders and I have no choice."
"I know, I'll go talk to Shi Yue."
Shen Tianfeng sighed lightly and nodded in agreement.
Even if Shi Yue is not Shen Yuting's son, as long as Shi Yue is willing to help the Shen family, with the Mahayana cultivators behind the Immortal Grass Palace as a backer, the Shen family is as stable as Mount Tai, and may go further.
In a secluded courtyard, Shi Yue is talking to Xiaoyaozi.
"Your reaction just now was too intense. I don't know if Luan Yiming noticed something unusual, but Shen Tianfeng and your mother must have noticed something unusual." Xiaoyaozi sighed.
Shi Yue didn't care and said, "Humph, if he sees it, then he sees it. I'm afraid he will see it."
He hadn't seen his mother for more than 400 years. As soon as they met, Shen Tianfeng forced his mother to remarry. Shi Yue couldn't calm down.
If he could tolerate this, he would be unworthy of being a son.
If he hadn't been worried about Luan Yiming's presence, he would have turned against him long ago. When he thought of Shen Tianfeng forcing his mother to remarry, Shi Yue was furious.
"After you recognize your parents, what will you do next? Take them back to Blue Sea Star? Or let them stay here? Now the demons are in chaos and wars are ignited everywhere. It's not safe anywhere. The situation in Tianlan Star Region has worsened. If you take them to Blue Sea Star, it will not be a good thing."
Shi Yue nodded and said, "I've thought about it. Send them back to Baisha Star and let them cultivate there with peace of mind. Now everything is in a mess. Baisha Star is relatively remote and there are not many resources for cultivating immortals. The Demonic Path will not be interested in Baisha Star. Baisha Star is where I grew up. They should be safe there."
He had already made arrangements. Now the Demonic Path is in chaos and the outside world is in a mess. If his parents stay on Heiluan Star, Shen Tianfeng might do something stupid. The situation in Tianlan Star Region is unstable. The Demonic Path may take over the entire Tianlan Star Region at any time. Shi Yue also has to guard against Ning Wuque. If he brings his parents with him, Shi Yue will be restricted in what he does.
At this moment, a sound transmission note flew in. Xiaoyaozi crushed the sound transmission note, and a respectful male voice suddenly sounded: "Senior Shi, we will send you some food. I hope you can open the door."
"Food? I'm afraid Shen Tianfeng is here to see you." Xiaoyaozi smiled.
"Then let's meet him, and we can make things clear." Shi Yue said disapprovingly.
Xiaoyaozi opened the courtyard door, and Shen Tianfeng and Shen Yuting stood at the door. Shen Yuting's expression was a little complicated.
Xiaoyaozi was a little surprised to see Shen Yuting, but he still invited them in.
Soon, they appeared in front of Shi Yue. There were no outsiders, so Shi Yue didn't have to hide.
"Should I call you Shi Yue or Xuan's grandson?" Shen Tianfeng said meaningfully.
Shen Yuting didn't say anything, staring at Shi Yue, her beautiful eyes full of tears, because the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he looked like her son.
Shi Yue looked like Shi Yunxuan, others might not notice it, but Shen Yuting, his biological mother, naturally couldn't fail to notice it.
Shen Yuting opened her mouth and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you Yue'er?"
Shi Yue took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, I am Yue'er. I have been waiting for you in Taixu Sect for so long. I thought something happened to you. I have been looking for you, but there is no news about you."
At the end, he couldn't help it, and tears burst out, soaking his clothes.
"Yue'er! It's really you. I'm sorry. Your mother and father have failed you." Shen Yuting walked forward, hugged Shi Yue tightly, choked, and her face was full of tears.
Over the years, she has been imprisoned in the clan land, and she has always missed Shi Yunxuan and Shi Yue in her heart. To put it bluntly, Shi Yue and Shi Yunxuan have become Shen Yuting's spiritual pillars for survival. If Shi Yue is in trouble, she doesn't want to live anymore.
If she and Shi Yunxuan did not return to Baisha Star, Shi Yue would have no one to take care of him. They did not know how Shi Yue had come to this point.
Xiaoyaozi sighed lightly, feeling a lot in his heart.
Shen Tianfeng felt mixed emotions, including relief, happiness, and regret. Shi Yue said this himself, so it should not be false.
There were less than five people who knew that Shen Yuting had a son. With Shi Yue's usual temperament, he could not pretend to be Shen Yuting's son. There was no need. After all, Shi Yue was a disciple of a Mahayana cultivator, so there was no need to do so.
Even if the Mahayana cultivator was not mentioned, there were countless people who would curry favor with Shi Yue just for the position of the shopkeeper of the Immortal Grass Palace.
