As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched Space Ring. A faint spiritual light flashed through the opening of the ring, and there was a glass bottle sealed with Demon Spirit in his palm.

Inside the bottle is a red-gold lion-shaped Demon Spirit, Spiritual Power with thick undulations, and a warm dark golden luster on the surface of the bottle wall.

Shen Fei put the bottle on the table and pushed it in the direction of Shen Yue: "This is Sacred Fire Male Lion from Black Gold Rank Five-Star."

Shen Yue originally lowered his head, but when he heard the words "Black Gold Rank Five-Star", he suddenly raised his head.

His eyes widened, and his gaze fell on the glass bottle on the table. The expression on his face changed from caution to surprise, and then from surprise to disbelief.

He moved a little slowly when he stretched out his hand, as if he was afraid that he heard wrongly. He stretched his hands on the table and picked up the bottle. His fingers were pressed against the wall of the bottle, and he could feel the warm spiritual power of the demon inside.

He really never thought about giving Shen Fei. Before he came, he thought that giving him a Black Gold Rank 1-Star was for the sake of the family, and he was even prepared to be rejected. But Shen Fei gave Black Gold Rank Five-Star.

Shen Fei looked at him and continued, "Father is already in the past. So, you know what you should do, right? Don't let me down."

Shen Yue held the bottle and tightened his fingers a little. He knew that this was the best opportunity for him to show his loyalty.

He carefully put the bottle into his arms, took a half step back, stood up straight, looked at Shen Fei, and said in a much calmer tone than before, "Brother, I will not let you down. From now on, I, Shen Yue, will be absolutely loyal to Glory City."

This sentence was not made up on the fly. Shen Yue knew in his heart that what he said was the truth.

He saw it in his eyes during this period. After Shen Fei and Nie Li took power, Glory City's momentum grew stronger day by day. Even Dark Guild retreated. Beast Tide defended, Jade Grove Clan was brought back, and Black Prison World's affairs were completed.

He used to think that his father was on the right path, and that Sacred Family could only find a way out by following Dark Guild. Now he has confirmed that his father was indeed wrong.

Shen Fei looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said in a calm tone, "You should also calm down your temper and stop acting like a playboy. Now that you have decided to change, go ahead and do it. Go work under Second Elder and learn more."

Shen Yue immediately responded, "Yes."

He knew in his heart that this was to make Second Elder stare at him. But he also knew that this was his only chance.

Shen Fei didn't leave him alone, didn't take away all his things, and gave him Black Gold Rank Five-Star Demon Spirit, giving him a place to do things. If he continues to hang around like before, he will really be hopeless.

Shen Fei waved his hand. "Okay, you can go out."

Shen Xiu and Shen Yue responded together, turned around and walked out. When Shen Xiu reached the door, he turned around and bent slightly before gently closing the door. The footsteps slowly faded away along the corridor.

The study became quiet. Shen Fei sat on the chair, resting his hands on the edge of the table, thinking for a while.

The current Sacred Family should be able to move on without him. Second Elder is focusing on family affairs, Third Elder is working hard now, First Elder is silent, there are people watching the trade routes, and there are people taking care of the warehouse.

After this time, Shen Xiu and Shen Yue will not have other thoughts at least in a short period of time. They will not go astray like before.

He stood up and walked to the window to take a look at the sky outside. It was still bright and the sun was a little farther west, but there was still some time before dark. He calculated the time and it was almost time to make the appointment.

He and Xiao Ning'er agreed to sparring at Martial Arts Arena in the Winged Dragon Family later, and Duan Jian would also go.

Shen Fei left the study, passed through the corridor, and went out Sacred Family from the side door. There were many people on the street, most of the shops were still open, and there was plenty of light.

He walked along the main street in the direction of the Winged Dragon Family, neither fast nor slow. When he arrived at the door of the side courtyard of the Winged Dragon Family, the door was ajar. He pushed the door in, walked through Front Courtyard and walked towards Martial Arts Arena.

Winged Dragon Family's Martial Arts Arena is not big. It is a compacted earth field with wooden stakes around it. There are weapon racks and a few stone benches on the side.

Duan Jian has arrived, standing in the center of Martial Arts Arena, wearing gray cloth, with black wings folded behind his back, covered with a cloak. He did not hold a weapon in his hand, and was waiting quietly.

Xiao Ning'er was also there. He changed into a light gray short-game outfit, tied up his cuffs tightly, tied his hair into a ponytail, and held a wooden gun in his hand. Shen Fei walked to the weapon rack and pulled out a wooden sword.

The wooden sword is for training, has no edge, and weighs about the same as the ordinary Fine Iron Sword.

Three people stood in Martial Arts Arena. Shen Fei and Xiao Ning'er were opposite, and Duan Jian was alone. Two against one. Duan Jian was the body of Legendary Peak. Although he would not use his full strength, it would not be easy to fight two against one.

Shen Fei held the wooden sword horizontally in front of him, and Xiao Ning'er held the wooden gun at an angle, with the tip of the gun pointing downward. Duan Jian glanced at the two of them and nodded, indicating that they could start.

The first one to move was Xiao Ning'er. She took a step forward, lifted the wooden gun from bottom to top, and pointed the tip of the gun straight at Duan Jian's waist. This shot was not fast, it was a test.

Duan Jian stepped aside and the wooden gun passed by the hem of his clothes. Shen Fei cut in from the side at the same time, and the wooden sword slashed Duan Jian's shoulder.

Duan Jian did not retreat, but raised his left arm and used the outside of his forearm to catch the wooden sword hard. The wooden sword struck his forearm with a muffled sound. Shen Fei's wrist was hit by the shock force, and the wooden sword almost bounced away.

Duan Jian's body is too hard. Although the wooden sword has no edge, when it is cut, it feels like it is cutting on an old tree root.

After Duan Jian took the sword, he reached out his right hand to grab Shen Fei's wrist. Shen Fei retracted his sword and stepped back. Xiao Ning'er's wooden spear arrived again, this time it stabbed the side of Duan Jian's knee.

Duan Jian raised his legs to dodge, and the tip of the gun slid close to his trouser leg. Xiao Ning'er retracted the gun and changed his move, and the gun barrel swept horizontally towards Duan Jian's waist.

Duan Jian took half a step forward, put his body against the gun shaft, and relieved Xiao Ning'er's strength. At the same time, he pushed his shoulder, and Xiao Ning'er was pushed back two steps.

The three of them started fighting like this. There was no Spiritual Power or Demon Spirit. They relied purely on physical strength, speed and reaction.

Duan Jian's movements are not fast, at least much slower than when Black Prison World fought Sikong Yi. But every move he makes is just right, no more, no less, just enough to avoid attacks or block the route.

Shen Fei's wooden sword attacked from the front, while Xiao Ning'er's wooden gun looked for opportunities from the side. The two of them cooperated, one to contain and the other to find a gap. Duan Jian mostly defended and occasionally took action, but each time they took action, the two of them had to retreat.
