1307 Rob You (2)
Yun Feng’s black eyes glittered. “Will you answer all my questions?”
Zhan Li was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter and rubbed Yun Feng’s head. “Of course. I’ll tell you everything. You’re my daughter!”
With this, Yun Feng was more or less relieved. Since Zhan Li could say that, it meant that he indeed had nothing to hide. Yun Feng smiled lightly. “In that case, I won’t hold back. Did you give Little Qingchen’s the lightning-element Magic Beast?”
Zhan Li was startled. He originally thought that Yun Feng would ask about the relationship between him and the Shentu family first, but he didn’t expect Yun Qingchen to be the one she wanted to ask about.
“Haha, of course! No matter what, Yun Qingchen is your nephew and my grandnephew. It won’t make sense if I don’t give him something good.”
Yun Feng couldn’t help but frown. “That Magic Beast… What species exactly is it?”
Zhan Li burst into laughter and looked very happy. “My daughter, can’t you recognize the species? It seems that what I took randomly this time is indeed a treasure!”
He took it randomly? Yun Feng frowned completely. What did that mean? Did her father steal the lightning-element Magic Beast for Qingchen? “My daughter, I’m not such a person! Don’t think too much!” Zhan Li reached out and touched Yun Feng’s head, stretching his body. “I found that Magic Beast randomly from the Shentu family’s Treasure Mirror.”
W-What? Yun Feng was stunned. He found it in the Shentu family’s Treasure Mirror? So, Qingchen’s Magic Beast belonged to the Shentu family? He really stole it?
Zhan Li burst into laughter again when he saw Yun Feng’s expression. “What kind of expression is that? The Shentu family owes me too much. What’s the big deal if I take something?”
“Master Shentu, does he know?” Yun Feng asked in a deep voice. This self-proclaimed father’s personality… was too reckless.
“Of course he doesn’t. I didn’t even care about this Magic Beast when I found it back then. After all, it looks too funny, but it’s a lightning-element Magic Beast. Besides, it’s certainly not an ordinary thing in the Shentu family’s Treasure Mirror. Now that you’re asking me this question, that Magic Beast must be of an extraordinary species.” Zhan Li nodded in satisfaction. “It seems that I’ll have to find a few more things this time.”
The corners of Yun Feng’s mouth twitched. Perhaps the Master of the Shentu family didn’t know that this unfilial son of his had visited the Shentu family more than once and he took more than one thing. Sooner or later, the Treasure Mirror of the Shentu family would be emptied by her self-proclaimed father.
“My daughter, I’ll find you something great this time!” Zhan Li burst into laughter, but Yun Feng shook her head helplessly. “Let’s not talk about that for now. Did you really come back this time only because you mistook it for my wedding?”
Zhan Li frowned. “Why? I came all the way here and you’re questioning my sincerity?”
Yun Feng smiled. “That’s not it. It’s just…”
“I know what you’re going to say. The grudge between the Yun family and the Shentu family has nothing to do with me! I don’t have any other thoughts about taking you as my daughter. I liked you when I saw you on the East Continent.” Zhan Li was sitting on a piece of grass. His tall and sturdy body cast a heavy shadow like a small mountain. Yun Feng also sat on the ground next to Zhan Li.
“I know. If you really had any purpose for me, you would have done it a long time ago.”
Zhan Li turned around and touched Yun Feng’s head with his hand, messing up her hair again before he finally moved his hand away. “I’m Zhan Li right now. I’m not a member of the Shentu family. If the Yun family needs help, I’ll definitely stand on your side.”
Yun Feng looked up at Zhan Li’s deep eyes. There were emotions in them that she couldn’t understand, but she knew that her self-proclaimed father was truly good to her. “Yes, I know.” Yun Feng nodded with a smile. Zhan Li grinned in relief. “Master Shentu should know that once the Yun family returns to the Inner Region, the Shentu family will be doomed.”
Yun Feng sat aside in silence, but Zhan Li seemed to be a chatterbox that had been opened. “Back when I was a member of the Shentu family, I had already seen the future fate of the Shentu family. The Shentu family didn’t have the strength and background of the first-rate family to begin with, but they wanted to fight for this position. I can only say that human greed is truly endless.”
There was more or less a hint of loneliness in what Zhan Li said. Yun Feng looked around the entire wasteland. “This is the darkness of human nature. What you can’t get is what you want the most.”
Zhan Li sighed. “So what if you get it? If you don’t have the ability to keep it, you’ll lose it in the end and lose everything.”
“Very few people understand this. They like to fight for it.” Yun Feng smiled. Zhan Li nodded. “Yes, it’s so simple but nobody understands it… And even though I understand it, I can’t change anything. If I had known the result would be like that, I would have left earlier.”
Zhan Li’s face suddenly darkened. Yun Feng looked at him and remained silent. Something must’ve happened when a member of the Shentu family of the Inner Region appeared on the East Continent. Otherwise, why would a member of the Inner Region leave for the East Continent? Just like Ling Xiaoyun, Zhan Li certainly had unbearable memories in his mind.
Zhan Li’s tall and sturdy body was extremely tense at this moment. Yun Feng sighed softly and didn’t know what to say. How much pain was buried in the heart of this man who had experienced countless vicissitudes of life?
“My daughter, do you know how the Shentu family became the first-rate family and pulled the Yun family down?”
Yun Feng frowned. According to what her self-proclaimed father said just then, the Shentu family didn’t have the strength and background to sit in this position. There must be something wrong with their sudden outburst of strength! Zhan Li looked back and stared at Yun Feng firmly with his black eyes. “The Shentu family betrayed themselves. Not only their soul, but also their dignity!”
Yun Feng was stunned. “Soul… dignity?”
Zhan Li sneered. “The Shentu family sold everything they had, including their dignity that they couldn’t lose! They accepted other people’s favor and groveled, willing to be other people’s pawns! Just for the position of that first-rate family!”
“Pawns…” Yun Feng thought to herself. She originally thought that the Shentu family was the leader of the Inner Region, but she didn’t expect the Shentu family to be a pawn in someone else’s hand?
