Shen Wanzhou's gaze inevitably fell upon her two children beside her, her heart filled with bitterness and worry. She could protect them for a moment, but she could not safeguard them for a lifetime.
With the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony approaching, to undergo the Bloodline Awakening, they had to go to the ancestral site to be tested by the spirits of their ancestors. However, with Chen Yuantu's attitude, how could he possibly help them?
"Father, is there really no other way for the children to enter the Imperial Academy?" Shen Yunting couldn't help but ask.
Shen Zhentian slowly shook his head and sighed deeply. "The rules of the Imperial Academy cannot be changed by anyone. To enter the Imperial Academy, one must possess innate talent during the Bloodline Awakening."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, the atmosphere becoming stifling.
"Uncle!"
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue suddenly emerged from behind the crowd, rushing to hug Shen Zhentian's legs and calling out in sweet voices.
Shen Zhentian lovingly patted the heads of the two children, his eyes filled with warmth.
These two kids were growing up so fast!
Shen Yunlei looked at the two exquisitely beautiful children with eyes full of affection.
"Yes," Shen Yunting agreed with a smile, "especially Little Li; her brows and eyes are just like Third Sister's!"
"I think so too! Mother is the prettiest!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue chimed in seriously.
Their innocent words instantly brought laughter from everyone, dispelling the earlier oppressive atmosphere.
The Shen family members surrounded Shen Wanzhou and her two children as they made their way to the Shen Family residence. The group chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Yet, no one noticed that a glimmer of coldness flashed in Chen Li's eyes, one that was uncharacteristic for her age.
"Chen Yuantu, just wait," Chen Li thought with a cold smirk in her heart. "I will settle this score with you sooner or later!"
Upon arriving at the Shen Family home, a long-lost sense of warmth made Shen Wanzhou's eyes redden. She tightly embraced Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, fearing that if she let go even for a moment, they would disappear.
"Mother, don't be afraid; we will never leave you again," Shen Qingyue comforted Shen Wanzhou in a soft voice, gently patting her back with her small hand.
"That's right, Mother; from now on, we will protect you!" Chen Li declared earnestly, clenching her small fist with determination on her innocent face.
Shen Wanzhou couldn't help but chuckle; even as she laughed, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Thinking of the five long years during which she had no ability to take revenge on those two children, her heart ached like it was being twisted by a knife.
Fortunately, the children had finally arrived!
Shen Zhentian watched this scene and nodded with relief, but soon his brows furrowed tightly again.
“Dad, are you worried that Chen Yuantu will come looking for trouble again?” Shen Yunlei was the first to notice Shen Zhentian's unease and asked in a low voice.
Sighing, Shen Zhentian replied, “Chen Yuantu is ruthless, cold-blooded, and cunning; we have to be on guard! Moreover, in three months, it will be the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanzhou's face instantly turned pale.
“Yes, the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony!”
That was a towering mountain standing before the two children! Without a family tree and the protection of an ancestral hall, how could Li and Yue'er awaken their talents? Shen Wanzhou's tone was filled with despair.
Shen Yunting looked at the two innocent and adorable children and at her sorrowful sister, unable to hold back as she slammed her fist on the table.
Was it really going to come to watching those two children be ruined by that old bastard Chen Yuantu?
No one could answer that question.
The members of the Shen Family all frowned tightly, feeling at a loss.
For a moment, the entire room fell into silence.
At that moment, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, who had been silent until now, suddenly moved.
The two little ones began to rummage through their clothes with great seriousness until they finally pulled out a storage bag.
Then, with a wave of their small hands, a beam of light shot out from the storage bag.
A Spiritual Vein radiating rich Spiritual Energy was revealed, encased in ice.
The crystalline glow dazzled everyone’s eyes as it flickered continuously.
“Uncle, where did you put your Spiritual Vein?” Chen Li raised his little face and innocently asked.
The members of the Shen Family were stunned:
“Wha—” Shen Zhentian pointed at the two Spiritual Veins, his speech beginning to stutter.
Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei were frozen in place, their mouths agape as if their eyes were about to pop out.
“Where did you get these?!” Shen Wanzhou was the first to react, grabbing Chen Li excitedly and asking in an agitated voice.
“Mommy, we found them in Scumbag Dad's mansion!” Chen Li blinked his eyes and said mysteriously, “Don’t worry; this Spiritual Vein is perfectly fine!”
Shen Qingyue nodded, her voice sweet and innocent as she said, "Yes, Mother, this is what we found!" Her bright eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if waiting for Shen Wanzhou's praise.
After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Yunlei was the first to react. He slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted, "Good! Good! Good! Hahaha, I knew it! My grandson and granddaughter are exceptional; even at such a young age, they can accomplish great things!" He scooped up Chen Li and lifted him high above his head, his excitement causing his beard to tremble. "Chen Yuantu, that scoundrel, thinks he can use such despicable means to harm my grandchildren? He should take a good look at how amazing they are!"
"That's right, Father! I told you these two kids are extraordinary!" Shen Yunting chimed in, his face filled with excitement.
He scrutinized the two of them as if he couldn't get enough of their features—their brows and eyes, their demeanor—everything about them screamed excellence. "Let Chen Yuantu regret not wanting them!"
Shen Zhentian's eyes glistened with tears as he trembled while stroking Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's heads. His voice choked with emotion, he said, "Good children, good children!"
Feeling the excitement around him, Chen Li sighed inwardly. If he didn't change the subject soon, the atmosphere would turn somber again.
So, Chen Li looked up at Shen Zhentian and spoke with a surprisingly mature tone for his age. "Grandfather, are you worried that Yue'er and I won't be able to cultivate? Don't worry! Even if we don't go to the Imperial Academy, we won't be any worse than anyone else! When we grow up, we can protect you!"
Shen Zhentian was taken aback for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter. "Good! Good! Ambitious! No wonder you're my grandson!"
Dinner was prepared by Shen Wanzhou herself. Considering the hardships the two children had endured in the Chen Family over the years, she made an elaborate spread of delicious dishes.
"Wow! Mother, this is too extravagant!" Chen Li exclaimed as he stared at the table full of mouthwatering food, unable to suppress his saliva.
"Mother, these are all my and Brother's favorites!" Shen Qingyue clapped her little hands excitedly, her face beaming with joy.
"Eat as much as you like; if it's not enough, Mother will make more," Shen Wanzhou said gently as she served them food with love in her eyes, as if trying to make up for all the years they had missed.
"Mm-mm!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue nodded eagerly as they picked up their chopsticks and began to feast.
Looking at the two children enjoying their meal, Shen Wanzhou smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. From now on, Mother will cook for you every day." She paused for a moment, her eyes slightly red. "How lucky I am; I finally managed to bring you home safely."
