In the secluded courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Zhentian sat cross-legged on a bed, his complexion pale and his breath weak, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries that he was still recovering from.
"Father, how are you?" Shen Yunting asked anxiously, worry etched across his face as he looked at the elder.
Shen Zhentian waved his hand dismissively, signaling that he was fine. He then turned to gaze out the window, concern filling his eyes.
"Those two children have attracted the Nine-Colored Blood Pillar; it’s too dazzling. With such terrifying talent, before they grow up, they will likely draw unnecessary trouble!" Shen Zhentian sighed and murmured to himself.
"Father, your concerns are not unfounded. The Nine-Colored Blood Pillar is a rare sight that appears once in a millennium," Shen Yunting hesitated to speak further.
He shared the same worries.
"Indeed, an innocent man suffers for possessing a treasure!" Shen Zhentian forced a bitter smile. "My two grandchildren have extraordinary talents; if they cannot grow up safely, they will surely become targets!"
"It's all my fault for being incapable; I can't even protect my own grandchildren!" He coughed weakly.
Shen Yunting felt a pang of sadness and could only helplessly reiterate, "Father, this isn't your fault; it's because my brother and I lack talent."
Shen Zhentian waved his hand and staggered to his feet. "Come on, let’s go see my grandchildren! No matter what, they cannot just sit here and wait for disaster."
In the delivery room, Shen Wanzhou had fallen into a deep sleep, while Chen Li and Shen Qingyue opened their big eyes wide, curiously surveying the unfamiliar world around them.
"Hey, look! Mother is beautiful!" Shen Qingyue exclaimed excitedly as she blinked her watery eyes at Shen Wanzhou lying on the bed.
"Yes, she is quite beautiful," Chen Li nodded in agreement before adding, "Our Scumbag Dad must be blind to abandon such a beauty!"
After speaking, Chen Li's eyes darted toward the door, and immediately fell silent.
Shen Qingyue followed her gaze.
The two newborns were surprisingly quiet, behaving as if they were six-month-old infants rather than just born.
Even Yeh Jing-Shu and Bai Qianyin, who were holding them, couldn't help but marvel at their calmness.
"Truly remarkable children! They seem to understand us already!"
As the two sisters-in-law grew fonder of the babies with each passing moment, the door creaked open. Supported by Shen Yunting, Shen Zhentian slowly walked in.
"Father!" Shen Wanzhou heard the commotion and struggled to get up, but was stopped by Shen Zhentian.
"Shen Wanzhou, you rest. I will take a look at my grandchildren," Shen Zhentian said with a kind smile, his gaze falling on Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
These two little ones are indeed spirited! Shen Zhentian looked at the children, his eyes filled with affection.
Indeed, these two little ones are exceptionally gifted. Especially the two of them, they have awakened the Nine-Colored Bloodline, a rare talent that appears once in a millennium! Shen Wanzhou said proudly.
Nine-Colored Bloodline? No, why do I feel like it’s the Nine-Colored Bloodline? Shen Zhentian furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Nine-Colored Bloodline? Father, are you mistaken? How could there possibly be a Nine-Colored Bloodline in this world?" Shen Wanzhou exclaimed in surprise.
"No, I am not mistaken. It is indeed the Nine-Colored Bloodline!" Shen Zhentian shook his head, speaking with conviction.
Shen Wanzhou was immediately stunned. She knew her father would never be wrong, but what the Nine-Colored Bloodline meant was something she understood better than anyone else.
"Father, what should we do? The Nine-Colored Bloodline is too extraordinary; it might bring disaster upon the two children!" Shen Wanzhou said anxiously.
"You are right. The Nine-Colored Bloodline is too dazzling. If it cannot be concealed, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful beings. By then, not only will our Shen Family be unable to protect them, but even the Wuding Marquisate will have to give way!" Shen Zhentian said solemnly.
After all, they are two abandoned children. Even if they carry Chen Yuantu's bloodline, those from the Wuding Marquisate will still let them live.
"What should we do then?" Shen Wanzhou felt lost and could only look at her father for help.
For now, the only solution is to seal their bloodlines. Once they have enough strength to protect themselves, we can unseal them! A determined look flashed in Shen Zhentian's eyes.
But sealing their bloodlines is easier said than done! Especially with the Nine-Colored Bloodline; this worries Shen Wanzhou greatly.
"Don't worry; I have my ways!" Shen Zhentian replied confidently as he pulled an ancient jade pendant from his robe.
Shen Wanzhou looked at the pendant in confusion; she had seen this object before.
"This is our Shen Family's heirloom, known as the Heaven-Sealing Seal. It possesses magical powers to seal forces!" Shen Zhentian explained.
"Heaven-Sealing Seal?" This was the first time Shen Wanzhou had heard of such a treasure. However, since it was an heirloom of the Shen Family, it must be extraordinary.
"Time is of the essence; I will now cast a spell to seal the bloodlines of these two little ones!" As he spoke, Shen Zhentian suspended the jade pendant above Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's heads and began forming hand seals while chanting incantations.
As Shen Zhentian recited his spell, a gentle white light emanated from the pendant, enveloping Chen Li and Shen Qingyue within its glow.
The soft white light flowed slowly around them like warm spring water wrapping around their small bodies.
The uncontrolled Vital Energy that had been released seemed to be contained by this force.
As the power of their bloodlines weakened, the previously soaring Nine-Colored Blood Pillar gradually dimmed. The three-colored light beams slowly dissipated until only six beams of different colors remained. Though still dazzling and brilliant, they were no longer as shocking as before.
"Done!" Shen Zhentian sighed deeply as he looked at the scene before him, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Sealing the Nine-Colored Bloodline was no small burden for him.
"Father, is everything alright now?" Shen Wanzhou asked nervously, glancing at the two children who had already regained their calm.
"There shouldn't be any problems for now," Shen Zhentian nodded. "Although the Six-Colored Bloodline is rare, it shouldn't cause too much of a stir. As long as we proceed with caution, we should be able to keep it hidden from the world."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanzhou finally felt relieved, her gaze softening as she looked at the two children in the cradle, her eyes filled with love.
"These little ones have truly faced a lot of hardships," Yeh Jing-Shu remarked as he looked at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, unable to suppress his sigh. "But at least they are safe now."
"Yes, I hope they can grow up safely from now on," Bai Qianyin echoed.
Shen Zhentian watched the two children, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. How he wished for them to grow up without any worries!
However, some things were beyond their control. The Nine-Colored Bloodline was too extraordinary and destined to bring endless troubles to these two children. All he could do was this much.
