Shen Xunwei's Past

He then gave a wry smile.

"Uncle De, and that Xue'er sister, I think you've misunderstood. I mean, you've been laid off, and your daughter is so beautiful, it's easy for her to attract enemies."

Wang Sheng seemed to realize something, his expression changed, and then he endured the stomach pain and said, "It's none of your business!"

"Xue'er, let's go."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Wang Ming called out hurriedly.

"Is there anything else?" Wang Linxue turned her head and asked coldly.

"I can't bear to watch anymore. I'm just too nice, Ling Yuan." With a sigh, Wang Ming called out to Ling Yuan on the stage.

Ling Yuan raised his index finger. "A week's worth of socks."

Wang Ming's face darkened.

Sensing the strange looks around him, he urged, "Let's talk about this when we get back, hurry up."

"Knew."

Ling Yuan stood up.

With a grasp of the void, the Blazing Key the pistol appeared.

"What you up to?"

Stand up

"Get out of the way, you're blocking the way."

Ling Yuan showed no mercy, grabbing Wang Linxue's shoulder and tossing her aside.

Seeing Wang De lying motionless on the ground, he raised the Blazing Key.

"Wait, no!"

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and Wang Linxue froze instantly.

Chapter 505 Shen Xunwei's Past

The entire room was completely silent.

No one expected that Ling Yuan would actually fire the gun.

In front of the entire Wang Family leadership...

"I have to say, the way you saved people is really easy to misunderstand," Wang Ming said as he approached Ling Yuan.

"Who would have thought that a weapon created to kill could also save lives?" Ling Yuan chuckled.

Wang Linxue crawled to Wang De's side and touched the still-warm 'corpse'.

Just as she was about to begin her mourning, pink feathers fell from the sky.

She raised her head blankly.

Then a divine bird appeared silently in the void, gently stroking Wang De's injured body.

The burns on his body were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Linxue was stunned.

Everyone else was stunned.

"This is... a healing-type Contract Beast? And the healing speed is incredible..."

The old man stared in amazement at the divine bird floating in mid-air.

Soon, Wang De's injuries were healed.

"Xue'er?"

A soft exclamation pulled Wang Linxue back from her daze.

"Dad!"

She stared in shock at Wang De, who sat up from the ground with a blank expression, and excitedly hugged him.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang De thought of Ling Yuan's shot.

She patted her daughter on the back to make her let go, then stood up and came to Ling Yuan.

Did you save me?

"It's Wang Ming."

Upon hearing this, Wang De looked at Wang Ming and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Clan Leader, I have offended you greatly before. Please forgive me."

"Uncle De, get up quickly. I am not the young clan leader, but the Fifth Elder."

"Oh yes, Fifth Elder."

Clearly, after facing death, Wang De had figured out many things.

Especially Wang Ming's earlier reminder.

"The matter is settled, a week's worth of socks."

"Okay, okay, I already said we'd talk about it when we get back." Wang Ming quickly covered Ling Yuan's mouth.

The old man looked at the two of them, gently stroked his Abyss Flower beard, and nodded in satisfaction.

Wild but not reckless, with a broad mind.

Not bad, not bad.

"Hey, young friend Ling Yuan, do you think it's possible to give my father a shot too?"

At this moment, Wang Sheng suddenly walked over and spoke hesitantly.

Wang Ming: "..."

Old man. "..."

You really have the audacity to say such outrageous things.

Sensing the strange looks around him, Wang Sheng realized what was happening and explained, "It's like this, my father suffered from many hidden ailments because he helped the Flame Nation eliminate demons in his early years..."

"No problem." Ling Yuan smiled.

Wang Sheng with joy, and he quickly said, "Thank you, young friend!"

Ling Yuan raised the Blazing Key and aimed it at the old man's forehead.

Feeling the cold touch on his forehead, the old man smiled and said, "This feeling is truly wonderful."

The next second

Bang!

He fell to the ground with a thud.

The pink divine bird reappeared, followed closely by the old man whose hidden ailment had been cured.

Wang De now knew how he had been resurrected.

The old man circulated his spiritual energy once, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, that's great! That's so great!"

The sound was deafening, and the violent aura roused the Ancestor of the other families in the capital.

"Old Yan has recovered?"

In the void, a series of surprised voices rang out.

"Young friend Ling Yuan, I accept your kindness today. You may make any requests you may have."

After venting for a while, the old man looked at Ling Yuan excitedly.

"Thank you very much, Old Wang. May I ask now?" Ling Yuan pressed on while the iron was hot.

"Certainly!"

"Then I hope the Wang Family can agree to Wang Ming and Shen Xunwei's relationship."

"Shen Xunwei?"

The old man let out a soft "hmm".

The expressions of the other elders changed.

Wang Sheng's expression was complicated.

Wang Ming was completely bewildered.

Why does he need their consent to date?

"Who can come out and explain this to me?" the old man asked, looking at Wang Sheng and the others.

"..."

Everyone remained silent.

Seeing that no one answered, the old man turned his gaze to his son. "You speak."

Wang Sheng a wry smile.

Why does he still have to put up with his father's temper even though he's so old?

But he dared not disobey.

"Shen Xunwei's original name was Wang Wei. She was the illegitimate daughter of the head of a branch family in Southwest China."

"Then what?"

"Is there a problem with this?" the old man asked, looking bewildered.

Wang Sheng continued, "Ten years ago, the Southwest branch of the family was ravaged by a Seventh Order demon, and everyone was brutally killed."

"Only Wang Wei survived the entire family division."

"So the whole Wang Family is saying that the destruction of the Southwest branch was all Wang Wei's fault. Why should an illegitimate daughter live?"

"After that, we conducted an attribute test on her and found that she actually possessed ice and water, two attributes that are naturally incompatible with the Wang Family's flames."

"As you know, the clan's internal relationships were complex. At that time, they needed someone to take responsibility for their anger and grief, so..."

There was no need to say anything more; the old man already understood.

Why didn't I know about this?

"Because you are in seclusion, and the elders said this matter doesn't need to disturb you," Wang Sheng said.

The elders' expressions changed.

You little rascal, dragging others down with you!

"Elder Chief, there's nothing we can do about this. This is the only way to calm everyone down," an elder said hastily.

"Did I tell you to speak?" The old man glared at the elder.

The elder immediately shut up.

Wang Ming fell silent; he had never imagined that his girlfriend had gone through such an ordeal.

No wonder she wouldn't talk about her past when asked.

"What are the arrangements afterward?" the old man continued to ask.

"Because she was an illegitimate child, she was not included in the family genealogy, so we expelled Wang Wei from the Wang Family."

"But after Jing'er found out about this, she secretly brought Wang Wei back from the street and handed her over to Song Lin, the youngest daughter of the Song Family, three months later to raise."

"Wang Wei became Song Lin's adopted daughter and changed her name to Shen Xunwei."

The old man fell silent after hearing what had happened.

"Young friend Ling Yuan, do you have anything similar to a ruler?"

"Some."

Ling Yuan hurriedly took out a...
