Kapitel 10: Placing Righteousness Before Family (1)

Redakteur: Henyee Translations

"Shen Ling." Shen Feng called out.

"Here." A forty-year-old middle-aged man who sat beneath him stood up and bowed respectfully.

"You were in charge of the arrangements in the dungeon. Recount the happenings of that day." Shen Feng's stern gaze swept across Shen Ling and the tenderness that a father should have had for their child was nowhere to be seen in his wise and farsighted gaze. Instead, there was only the imposing aura of someone who was at the top of the hierarchy.

Shen Ling smiled inwardly in bitterness. He was Shen Feng's fourth son, and excluding Shen Yu who passed away, he was the youngest among the second-generation family members. However, when compared to Shen Yu, who was a master of pen and sword, he seemed much more mediocre, and he was also not favored by Shen Feng. The dungeon incident happened to be within the scope of his responsibility.

"Reporting back to the Family Head. I left the estate due to some important matters that day and was not present when the incident occurred. The ones responsible for the dungeon that day were three of my subordinates. After I returned to the estate, I was notified that someone had intruded into the dungeon." Shen Ling wiped his cold sweat discreetly. Even though to trespass the dungeon was a serious crime, the real problem was the magical beast that was imprisoned in the dungeon that day. It was a precious beast that the Vermilion Bird Family had sacrificed hundreds of their elites to capture.

Other than Shen Feng, only Shen Ling knew precisely what had happened in the dungeon that fateful day. The reason Shen Feng had gathered everyone there to question Shen Yanxiao was not merely because of a simple matter of someone trespassing the dungeon.

What truly alarmed Shen Feng was something that everyone in the Vermilion Bird Family did not expect, not even in their wildest dreams.

"Are those guards present here today?" Shen Feng questioned.

Everyone in the main house was struck dumb by Shen Feng's question.

It was supposed to be a straightforward and clear cut incident. That day, they discovered a passed-out Shen Yanxiao in the dungeon, and that was a confirmed fact. Everyone expected Shen Feng to pass his order for her punishment. However, it looked like Shen Feng wanted to get to the bottom of the story and there was something wrong with his behavior! Everyone had an inkling that whatever mistake that Shen Yanxiao had committed that day was probably not as simple as trespassing the restricted area.

At that very moment, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei's complexion turned deathly white as they hadn't expected Shen Feng to pursue the matter. That day, before they deceived Shen Yanxiao to enter the dungeon, they came up with an excuse to lure the three guards from their posts, and thus gave the idiot a chance to enter the dungeon.

Why would Shen Feng want to interrogate those three guards then? With their grandfather's wisdom, he would probably have guessed that they were the mastermind behind that incident even before the three guards were to expose them.

Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei wanted to cry. Never in their wildest dreams would they expect that a small matter of trespassing the dungeon would be of high importance to Shen Feng. They assumed that they were in the clear after they threatened Shen Yanxiao to keep her mouth shut. Who would have expected Shen Feng to interfere in that matter?

The complacent and arrogance on both of their faces instantly disappeared, and what remained was panic and fear in their eyes.

Shen Yue, the middle-aged man who sat in front of Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei, which was also their father, had faintly sensed the uneasiness from his children. His brows furrowed, but he did not say anything.

The three guards, who were in charge of guarding the dungeon that day, were brought into the main house. They respectfully knelt before Shen Feng and waited for his interrogation.

"What exactly happened that day? The three of you allowed someone to enter the dungeon as if you've simply disregarded the rules!" Shen Ling did not dare to trouble Shen Feng for trivial matters like an interrogation, and so, he immediately questioned the three guards.

The three guards were also aware that the matter was not as simple as it seemed, and that made them even more cautious.

"We did not deliberately allow the seventh miss to enter the dungeon. We were not at the entrance when the seventh miss sneaked into the dungeon," one of the guards carefully said.

"Not at the entrance? Then where have you gone to? Don't tell me you are not aware that no one is allowed to leave without permission when they are guarding the dungeon?!" Shen Ling questioned angrily.

The dungeon that imprisoned the magical beasts was the Vermilion Bird Family's restricted grounds. Not only did the guards have to prevent any unauthorized entry by the family members, but they also had to guard against outsiders who could infiltrate the dungeon to cause destruction. A guard who left their posts without permission meant they neglected their duty.

The guards knew that it would be hard for them to escape from blame, and one of them quickly added, "We admit that we were careless. However, the fifth miss and sixth young master had something urgent that required our help that day and so, I had…"

The moment the guard spoke, the entire main house became unusually quiet. Everyone's gaze shifted toward Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei in a blink of an eye.

The two youngsters, who felt as guilty as thieves, acted like birds who were startled by the mere twang of a bow, and panic could be seen from their faces.

"Did that happen?" Shen Feng, who was silent until then, asked. His sharp gaze fell on the anxious pair of siblings.

"Grand…" The flustered Shen Jiayi started to speak up to refute the guard's story, but she did not know what to say.

Shen Jiawei did not even try to say anything as he lowered his head like a scared ostrich.

At that moment, Shen Yue, who had stayed silent, stood up and respectfully spoke to Shen Feng. "Reporting to the Family Head, these two children will be sixteen years old in another month's time. Therefore, they have been seeking information about magical beasts during this period. That day, these two unfilial children originally wanted to find fifth brother to inquire about the magical beasts, but coincidentally, he left to settle some matters. In the face of this situation, they could only turn to anyone they could find in a crisis and thus, disturbed the guards who were guarding the dungeon. Unexpectedly, a bystander took advantage of this opportunity and trespassed the dungeon and committed a serious mistake. I ask of the Family Head to severely punish that offender!"

Shen Yue's upright speech was filled with tenacity as he spoke to apologize for this two children. This had caused Shen Yue's expression to slightly ease up.

On the contrary, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei paled. They initially counted on their father to help them out of that trouble, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask forgiveness for them.

How could a father not acknowledge his family members, and would place righteousness before his family?

Everyone sighed when they saw Shen Yue's decision to place righteousness before his family, and they believed his explanation to some extent.

In the Brilliance Continent, any youngster who had reached the age of sixteen would undergo a special coming-of-age ceremony, and they would own their very first magical beast! Therefore, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei's actions were considered as reasonable as it was a significant affair for everyone.

In that world, both battle aura and magic were associated with one's own strength while a magical beast was a partner that accompanied them when they fight. If a person were not so talented in terms of battle aura and magic, they would hope to seek for a fortuitous encounter with their first magic beast. If they could control an extremely powerful magical beast, they could then utilize its mighty strength to turn tables when they faced a much more powerful opponent.
