I Want to Visit the Ancestors
Is this true?
Shen Wenxi's expression also changed slightly.
"Wenxi, so you were just kidding me."
Shen Tianyu gently shook his head, looked at Shen Wenxi, and said:
"But since you've already confirmed your suspicions, I won't keep it a secret any longer."
"That's right, you and Shen Wentian are indeed half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers."
"Then who is my father?" Shen Wenxi pressed.
Shen Tianyu shook his head:
"Mother doesn't know about this either, but there are indeed some differences between you Wentian, differences that wouldn't occur between siblings born of the same father and mother."
Back then, the bloodline extracted from Shen Wenxi's body did not fully integrate into Shen Wentian's body after it entered his.
This is abnormal for siblings born in the same birth.
She vividly remembered that back then, because of this situation, she was afraid that Shen Tianxun would discover something was wrong, so she desperately tried to divert his attention, and in the end, she prevented Shen Tianxun from getting caught up in why they hadn't achieved complete integration.
This incident remains fresh in my memory.
If she hadn't learned that Shen Tianxun was seriously injured, she wouldn't have been able to say these things so frankly.
"So, is that why I survived back then?" Shen Wenxi asked again.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyu sighed softly:
"Silly child, why would you think that?"
"You should know that back then, as a weak woman, I was ultimately powerless to do anything about what happened. I do love you, otherwise, why would I have helped you leave and told you all this?"
As he spoke, Shen Tianyu felt somewhat irritated.
If it weren't for that beast in the house threatening her, why would I have kept Shen Wenxi here? And if I hadn't kept Shen Wenxi back then, why would I need to waste my energy performing here now to avoid potential dangers in the future?
This feeling is very unpleasant.
Shen Tianxun selfish, arrogant, and domineering. He never considers others and is definitely not someone you can entrust your life to.
Shen Wenxi, as his daughter, is already a cripple, yet now she's forced to go to such lengths to pretend; it's truly...
As for why we are so certain that Shen Wenxi is Shen Tianxun's daughter, it's actually quite simple; it's just a matter of ruling out other possibilities.
There were only two people, one in front and one behind.
Shen Wentian became hairless after adulthood, Shen Tianxun had hair, while Shen Tianzhi was hairless.
The conclusion is self-evident.
Shen Wenxi didn't speak, she just looked at Shen Tianyu.
At that moment, a question lingered in her mind.
Is it the memory that has changed, or the feeling that has changed?
Having spent the past few years away from home, he has recently been spending time with Xiao Ye and his fellow disciples.
Now I'm back with my Lineage and seeing my mother again.
But she had a feeling in her heart.
It seems my mother wasn't entirely honest with me?
It seems that she doesn't love herself as much as she claims.
"Wenxi, what brings you back to your Lineage?"
Shen Tianyu then spoke up and asked.
"Nothing."
Shen Wenxi shook her head:
"I just happened to come back for a visit."
"Just came back to visit?"
Shen Tianyu looked at Shen Wenxi with some suspicion.
She was still very clear about Shen Wenxi's state when she left.
Even if the beast at home helped heal the wounds, the damage from having one's bloodline severed is irreversible.
After so many years, is his return to the Shen Clan really just for a casual visit?
Obviously not.
However, seeing that Shen Wenxi simply nodded and said nothing more, he did not press the matter further.
"Alright."
Shen Tianyu nodded:
"It's a blessing for the Lineage that you still thought of coming back to visit after so many years."
As he spoke, Shen Tianyu took out his identity token and handed it to Shen Wenxi, saying:
"The clan has undergone considerable changes over the years. It's rare for you to come back. If there's anywhere you'd like to go, please feel free to do so."
"If you need anything else, just tell your mother, and she will do everything she can to help."
Shen Wenxi looked at the token that Shen Tianyu handed her.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took it, nodding as he said:
Thank you, Mother.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go and attend to my business. As you know, there are many things to do in the clan right now regarding this bet, and I really can't spare the time."
With that, Shen Tianyu got up to leave.
"Mother."
Shen Tianxun suddenly spoke up.
Shen Tianyu looked at him and said:
Is there anything else?
Shen Wenxi nodded gently, looked at Shen Tianyu, and asked:
"Where is the ancestral cemetery located? I want to go and visit them."
Shen Tianyu was slightly taken aback:
"Have you already forgotten the location of our ancestral cemetery?"
Shen Wenxi shook her head:
"Those were all so long ago, so many things, that Wenxi can't even remember them anymore."
Shen Tianyu didn't ask any more questions, but instead pointed in a direction and said:
"The ancestral cemetery of the clan is divided into three locations, all in that direction, but you can only visit two of them. Only your grandfather is allowed to visit those ancestors who embody the glory of the Shen Clan."
"Understood."
"Are there really three cemeteries?"
Zhong Ming frowned slightly upon hearing Shen Wenxi's news:
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket; our ancestors didn't bury them all together. It seems the Shen Clan is quite prudent in their approach to things."
As he spoke, Zhong Ming looked at Shen Wenxi:
Is your grandfather still alive?
Shen Wenxi nodded:
He's not that old.
Zhong Ming pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed in thought:
"It seems that taking them all at once is really quite difficult."
On the other side.
Outside Shen Tianxun's residence.
"As his wife, am I not even allowed to see him?"
Shen Tianyu frowned and spoke, looking at the two people blocking the way outside.
"No offense intended, but I'm sure you're aware of the clan leader's current situation."
"The most important thing right now is to get the clan leader out of his coma from his severe injuries. Besides, in his current state, even if the madam went in, she wouldn't be of much help."
The person at the door remained resolute.
Shen Tianyu gave the two of them a deep look:
"Since you are so adamant, why not seal off this place instead of guarding it? What's the point of all this trouble?"
Upon hearing this, one of the two shook his head:
"Madam should understand that given the current situation, it's unrealistic to completely avoid seeing outsiders. We're here simply to do our best to prevent them from entering."
"If anything happens to you, Madam, please let us know. The clan leader will be informed as soon as he wakes up."
"No need." Shen Tianyu shook his head.
"He's awake, I'll come."
After saying that, Shen Tianyu got up and left.
All that was to say was the news of Shen Wenxi's return to her clan.
She remembered that Shen Tianxun had mentioned wanting to find Shen Wenxi before.
This probably isn't a good thing.
As the saying goes, "a good cop complements a bad cop," and without a good cop to set him off, how could Shen Wenxi feel his love?
Not long after Shen Tianyu left.
The two were about to leave, thinking of helping the Shen Clan to recover their losses as much as possible.
At that moment, another figure appeared.
"Senior."
Upon seeing the newcomer, both men's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly greeted him respectfully.
