Shen Zhentian looked at his daughter's determined eyes, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart. He was relieved that she had truly grown up, no longer the little princess who needed his protection at all times. However, he was surprised that despite her childhood aversion to training, she had not only become exceptionally skilled in alchemy but her combat abilities were also far beyond what they used to be.
A Martial Guard at the fifth level of Blood Condensation Realm had failed to harm her or the child after such a long time. Coupled with Shen Qingyue's earlier reaction, his doubts deepened. But now was not the time for questions. He nodded and said solemnly, "Alright, let’s head back to the estate."
After briefly handling the scene, the group quickly left the Shen Family.
At the Shen Residence, in the main hall, Shen Zhentian held the still-sleeping Chen Li in his arms, his expression filled with tenderness. Yet, his gaze never left Shen Wanzhou.
Feeling uneasy under her father's scrutinizing stare, Shen Wanzhou couldn't help but urge him, "Father, please stop staring; the child is fine."
Only then did Shen Zhentian retract his gaze, letting out a sigh before asking with a serious expression, "Shen Wanzhou, tell me honestly where your alchemy skills and formulas came from. How did you manage to survive against a Martial Guard at the fifth level of Blood Condensation Realm while carrying Li? And why was Shen Qingyue able to sense danger just days after being born and lead us there? What is going on?"
Hearing this, Shen Wanzhou's heart tightened; she knew there were some things she could no longer hide. Taking a deep breath, she revealed everything about the peculiarities of both children. After all, there was much more she needed to do moving forward. If she didn't clarify things now, her father would never be at ease given his nature.
"What?! Li can communicate with you and has cultivation?" Shen Zhentian exclaimed in shock as he stood up abruptly. The teacup in his hand slipped and shattered on the floor.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the tumultuous waves of emotion within him, he thought about the implications of a Martial Guard at the fifth level of Blood Condensation Realm. Even among cultivators of equal rank, few would dare to claim they could escape unscathed—let alone with Shen Wanzhou carrying a child!
Shen Zhentian's gaze toward Shen Wanzhou was filled with complexity—relief, confusion, but mostly profound concern.
He knew that some things Shen Wanzhou had not revealed were far more complicated than they imagined. Yun Ting, Yunlei, and Shen Zhentian spoke in low tones, their voices heavy with the weight of past experiences. Today's events absolutely could not be leaked, especially to the Wuding Marquisate. If they found out...
He did not continue, but everyone in the room understood his meaning. If Chen Yuantu learned that these two children possessed such extraordinary talents, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Father, we understand!" Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei exchanged glances and nodded solemnly. Although they were young, they recognized the seriousness of the situation.
Shen Wanzhou forced a bitter smile. "I share this concern, which is why I plan to conceal their exceptional gifts while they are still young. I want to earn more Silver Coins to accumulate resources for their training."
"Shen Wanzhou, you are doing the right thing!" Shen Zhentian looked at her with appreciation. "As your father and representative of the Shen Family, I fully support your decision! If there’s anything you need to do, leave it to me; I will send someone to handle it!"
He sighed deeply, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes. If it weren't for his injuries that had caused his cultivation to fall, those opportunistic individuals in the capital wouldn’t dare to treat our Shen Family with such disdain!
That scoundrel Chen Yuantu wouldn’t even dare to abandon his wife and child while repeatedly targeting our Shen Family!
Hearing this, Shen Wanzhou felt a pang in her heart. She knew her father had endured much for her and the children behind the scenes. The once proud head of the Shen Family now had to humble himself and seek favors from those who had once flattered him.
"Father, don’t worry! I will restore the glory of the Shen Family!" She clenched her fists, her tone resolute.
Shen Zhentian nodded with relief. He knew that this daughter was no longer the little girl who needed his protection.
Shen Zhentian nodded again, but the furrow in his brow remained tight. He understood his daughter well. Shen Wanzhou had never been fond of cultivation since she was young; now she was forced to become so strong. Something must have happened.
"Shen Wanzhou, no matter what happens, your father and your two brothers will do everything in our power to protect you and the children," Shen Zhentian said slowly and firmly.
Seeing the worried expressions on her father and brothers' faces filled her heart with warmth. Besides Chen Yuantu, she still had family and these two precious children; she was not fighting alone!
"Father, even if you want to protect us, you must first take care of your health! Your injury has lingered for too long." As she spoke, Shen Wanzhou took out the elixir she had purchased earlier at the Dragon Tiger Auction House and handed it over.
This is the money I earned from selling elixirs to buy you the Heavenly Creation Elixir.
Shen Yunting took the elixir in his hands, examining it closely. He gasped in surprise, "Three... a third-grade elixir?"
Shen Yunlei leaned in, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Brother, is it really the Heavenly Creation Elixir? But wasn't this elixir said to be lost long ago? How could it be in our little sister's hands?"
Seeing the astonished expressions on her brothers' faces, Shen Wanzhou couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, though she maintained a calm demeanor. "Second Brother, keep your voice down. This is serious; we can't let outsiders hear us."
"Right, right," Shen Yunlei quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice. The Heavenly Creation Elixir was a miraculous healing potion, perfect for their father's lingering injuries. Perhaps if their father recovered, he could even elevate his cultivation level!
Shen Yunting excitedly chimed in, "Yes! Father is the strongest among the Shen Family. If it weren't for that hidden injury, he wouldn't have fallen so low. If he can regain his peak condition, then our Shen Family..."
He paused, not finishing his thought, but the gleam in his eyes spoke volumes.
Shen Zhentian looked at the elixir before him and then at his children, feeling a mix of emotions. How could he not know the value of the Heavenly Creation Elixir? It was a treasure that money couldn't buy!
Shen Wanzhou had actually spent such a significant amount for him!
A warm wave surged in his heart, and he felt his eyes moisten.
"Wanzhou..." He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Father, there's no need to say anything," Shen Wanzhou stepped forward and gently grasped her father's hand. "Your health is what matters most. As long as you get better, that's all that counts."
Looking into his daughter's gentle eyes filled with concern, Shen Zhentian felt deeply moved. He nodded and trembled as he accepted the elixir. "Good... good child. Father will not let you down!"
