No one thought that the Vermilion Bird would reject Shen Jiawei. According to the Vermilion Bird's promise, it would undoubtedly pledge his loyalty to one disciple from the family when he awakened from his slumber, even if it was one that he did not like.
That was the agreement between him and the first generation of the Vermilion Bird Family.
Everyone thought that Shen Jiawei was already halfway to his ownership of the Vermilion Bird.
Shen Jiawei had the same thoughts too. As he approached the Vermillion Bird, he fantasized about how he would send Shen Yifeng to the branch family once he became the successor to the Family Head position. He had found that talented older cousin of his an eye sore long ago. He was also Shen Feng's grandson, so why was his position inferior to Shen Yifeng? As for his sister, no one would blame him if he was ruthless since she was the one who attacked him first.
