Wei Qiuling saw this and tily spoke, "Sister i’Er, hasn’t Second Brother done everything to ensure that you and Li’Er can live well?"
"Li’Er is your and Second Brother’s child. Don’t you want to watch her grow up into an adult?"
"Yiya..."
At this mont, Shen Li in Shen Wen’an’s arms struggled and let out a "yiya", stretching her small hands towards her.
Seeing this, Hu i’Er’s eyes were filled with tears.
She slowly took Shen Li into her arms and broke down crying.
Shen Yuan saw this, feeling even more sorrowful in his heart.
"Qiuling, you should first take Sister i’Er and her child to the backyard and arrange for so people to take care of their needs."
"Make sure they keep their mouths shut and don’t speak carelessly."
They could accept the identity of Hu i’Er belonging to the Demon Race, but if word got out, it would surely lead to so gossip.
More importantly, the mother and daughter are connected to the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl. Not exposing their whereabouts and identity is the best protection for them.
Wei Qiuling nodded and led Hu i’Er away.
Suppressing his grief, Shen Wenxing pondered for a long ti and said, "Father, about Ah Nu’s matter..."
He finally understood now why his father, despite knowing his brother had died, chose to bear it in silence without saying a word.
Because this matter is an unbearable blow to both their mother and Zhao Xuan’s mother and son.
Especially Zhao Xuan.
Already weak in health, accumulating into sickness.
A few days prior, Zhao Shuan had passed away, and Zhao Jinhua repeatedly warned him not to tell her, saying that if his sister-in-law found out later and blad him, she could bla him alone.
Now that Shen Wenyan is also gone, there’s no way to tell her this news.
"I will talk to your mother."
"As for Zhao Xuan, keep it from her for now. Wait until her health improves, then find an opportunity to tell her slowly."
"During this ti, let Lingxiu take more care of i’Er and her daughter."
Shen Wenxing bowed and left.
Shen Yuan looked at Shen Wen’an beside him and said, "Regarding your Second Brother, was there any reaction from the cultivation realm in Danzhou."
The pain of losing a son was suffocating, but the Shen Family had many others. They had to quickly understand the attitude of the Danzhou cultivation realm towards this matter.
The Female Essence Wisdom Pearl implicated too much, and if not handled well, the Shen Family might be obliterated by those terrifying experts.
Shen Wen’an bowed and said, "Second Brother unleashed the power of the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl in Hundred Beasts Mountain, and many cultivators from Qishan witnessed the disintegration of the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl."
"This action should make so cultivators abandon their obsession with the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl."
"Elder Sister also took the opportunity to spread the news, and those cultivators still interested in the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl are all focused on Hundred Beasts Mountain."
"I went to Cyan Ruo Sword House in Danzhou. Lingshan Sword Immortal granted a Cyan Bamboo Sword, and instructed to activate the sword intent within it at the barrier leading to Yangnao Land in Danzhou."
"Now, if any Golden Core Realm cultivator tries to pass through the barrier, Lingshan Sword Immortal will stop them imdiately, so there’s not much to worry about."
Shen Yuan nodded.
"What about the Old Ape?"
Shen Wen’an shook his head slightly, "When Second Brother marched towards Hundred Beasts Mountain, I was at Cyan Ruo Sword House and didn’t see the Old Ape’s outco with my own eyes."
"But Elder Sister said that Second Brother shattered the Old Ape’s body, and although it wasn’t killed on the spot, even with heavenly and earthly treasures to prolong its life, its realm would surely fall."
Shen Wen’an’s eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance.
Had both brothers stord Hundred Beasts Mountain together that day, not to ntion flattening Hundred Beasts Mountain, with my assistance stopping those Fetal Breathing Realm experts from Hundred Beasts Mountain, Second Brother would definitely have had enough ti to kill the Old Ape completely!
Shen Yuan nodded, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Take these few days to recuperate."
Shen Wen’an seed to understand his father’s intentions, a glimr flashed in his eyes, and after bowing slightly, he headed towards the Black Water Pavilion.
As night fell, Shen Yuan returned to the courtyard.
Hu Yufen hurried to et him and asked, "I heard the two thirds ca back?"
"How is it, is there any news of Ah Nu?"
Shen Yuan walked into the room by himself, shut the door, and set up a soundproof barrier.
Hu Yufen looked on in puzzlent.
Shen Yuan glanced at her, pulling her to sit at the bedside.
"What’s wrong with you, dear?"
Hu Yufen felt a bit panicked.
After decades of companionship, she could vaguely sense that sothing significant must have happened with Shen Yuan acting this way.
Shen Yuan sighed, "Ah Nu... won’t be coming back."
On hearing this, Hu Yufen’s face turned pale instantly, but she still didn’t want to believe, asking, "Won’t be coming back...what do you an?"
Shen Yuan gently held her hand, recounting what Shen Wenyan had done in Danzhou.
Upon hearing of his death in Hundred Beasts Mountain, Hu Yufen couldn’t hold it any longer and broke into sobs.
Shen Yuan held his wife tightly, letting her cry her heart out.
"Wen’an and Qiuling brought back the concubine and child he took in Danzhou."
"The child is called Shen Li, a lovely little girl."
Noticing his wife’s sobs subsiding a little, Shen Yuan tried to shift her attention.
Hu Yufen appeared dazed, not speaking.
In the ensuing days, the entire Shen Family was engulfed in a prolonged period of sorrow.
Everyone tacitly kept this news from Zhao Xuan.
After a few days of intense grief, Hu Yufen slightly recovered and entered the courtyard where Hu i’Er and Shen Li resided for the first ti, eting her granddaughter Shen Li for the first ti.
Upon their first eting, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke of Shen Wenyan, they cried their hearts out again.
After venting their sorrow, Hu Yufen rembered Shen Yuan’s instructions and, while bearing her grief, began to care for the mother and daughter’s life in the Shen Family.
