Chapter 59: Personally Killed Su Chacha

In the skies above the Ten Directions Forest, the little fire phoenix had its path blocked.

Screech!

The angry Xi Xi spewed a mouthful of phoenix fire straight at Shen Yuan and the others.

Fortunately it was still small; otherwise Shen Yuan and the others might not have been able to withstand it.

"Wrong, wrong, Uncle knows he's wrong, little ancestor, rein in your little phoenix."

Shen Yuan wasn't afraid of losing face; upon seeing the situation, he immediately knelt and apologized, which instead left Shen Qingli at a loss.

Shen Duo covered his face, really not wanting to admit that this was his elder brother.

Shen Kuo was quite shocked, "Elder brother?"

Could this really be his dignified, unparalleled elder brother?

He couldn't have been possessed by some dirty thing, could he?

"You're the real A Li?"

Shen Qingci squeezed out a handsome face from among the uncles and curiously sized up Shen Qingli.

With him taking the lead, his male cousins followed suit, stepping forward to look at Shen Qingli.

Ten male cousins, twenty eyes, each gaze sharp, Shen Qingli scratched the little fire phoenix's feathers.

The little fire phoenix let out a painful "Xi" and turned its head, looking at her resentfully.

Shen Qingli's eyes showed remorse, and she quickly smoothed the feathers back.

"A Li, little ancestor, shall we go home first?"

Ignoring Shen Kuo, Shen Yuan gazed at Shen Qingli cautiously.

After all, he had genuinely believed that the one called Chacha was his niece.

Shen Qingli looked at him, then at the sincere eyes behind him, and actually felt a bit dazed.

Although Shen Duo had assured her that as long as she appeared, the Longwater Shen Clan would surely not mistake the person, when this scene actually unfolded, she still……

quite happy.

She had originally thought that they, more or less, would always be deceived by Su Chacha.

She never expected that none of them had been deceived at all, which was completely unlike the Azure Jade Sect.

She couldn't help but recall again the voice she had heard on Star Phenomenon Mountain.

Home, huh?

Longwater Shen Clan, is that home?

Shen Qingli slowly nodded, "Okay."

"Great!" Shen Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go, let's go, let's go."

Before Shen Qingli could react, she was already being swept along back home.

The Ten Directions Forest is Shen clan territory; the Longwater Shen Clan's chant brings those who have arrived back and returns those who have come back.

Such divine power once again shook the forces secretly observing, this clan's ability is overly domineering!

……

Longwater Shen Clan.

A crowd of people marched out mightily.

And returned just as mightily.

Zhao Yue and Su Chacha hadn't even shifted their positions yet when Shen Qingli stood before them.

"A Li, the person is here." Shen Yuan pointed at the person and said, "What do you think we should do with them?"

"She just said you and Su Chacha are twin daughters." Shen Qingci pointed at Zhao Yue, then looked at Su Chacha, and then at his newly recognized female cousin, feeling worlds apart, like fish eyes versus pearls.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Just standing in the same place……

Which is bad, which is good, clear as day.

Zhao Yue could no longer take it for granted as before, for Shen Qingli at this moment was radiant like the morning sun, making it impossible to see her as a petty fly‑scrounging dog.

"A Li."

The first to speak was actually Pei Jianshu.

Shen Qingli hadn't expected him to be there either, and was somewhat surprised.

This place, isn't it a private domain of the Longwater Shen Clan?

"This brat is terrible!" Shen Yuan had now realized, "He clearly knows that's not you, yet he kept quiet all along—his scheming is practically hitting me in the face."

Without a doubt! The stinky brat wanted to take advantage of the real A Li's absence to let this impostor solidify the engagement.

Shen Yuan quickly added, "Fortunately I haven't agreed to the marriage yet."

"What marriage?" Shen Kuo had no idea there was such a thing!

"Long time no see." Pei Jianshu stepped forward, his gaze moving from Shen Qingli's face to her whole body, "Your cultivation has increased again, and it seems you've gained some other power?"

Amid the courtesy, there was hidden intimacy.

Shen Qingli frowned slightly, "I could never marry you."

"I know." Pei Jianshu was not surprised, nor did he feel embarrassed by the public rejection, "We'll talk about our matter later; first handle your family affairs."

Shen Qingli's brows knit tighter, "There's nothing to talk about,"

"A Li." Pei Jianshu interrupted, "There is, believe me."

Shen Qingli could hear the hidden meaning in his words, thinking that this person wouldn't speak without purpose, so she stopped paying attention and turned her gaze to Su Chacha and Zhao Yue.

She had originally thought that their previous parting was a permanent farewell.

In the days to come, they would have no further interaction.

I didn't expect her to still underestimate their abilities.

"Senior sister, no, sister."

Su Chacha bit her lip, looking as if she were about to cry.

Shen Qingli, however, saw another her in those feigned eyes.

"Senior sister, this is the outcome of our fight."

Along with that cold pronouncement appeared the gradually vanishing Zhan Yuefeng.

"A Li! A Li, listen to me, you are blood sisters, you cannot keep killing each other." Zhao Yue pleaded.

Shen Kuo stared in shock, "What blood sisters? Impossible!"

"Shen Kuo, I lied to you; I gave birth to two daughters back then, and Chacha was actually born half an hour after A Li." Zhao Yue swore, "Really, I can swear on heaven!"

Shen Kuo, however, was adamant, "Impossible!"

"When I gave birth, you weren't by my side—how could you know better than me?"

Zhao Yue knew very well that Su Chacha was her only hope; she absolutely could not come to harm.

"Old Seven, she just swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao." Shen Yuan said.

Shen Kuo remained adamant, "That's also impossible!"

"Father." Su Chacha, tears streaming like pear blossoms in rain, looked at Shen Kuo, "I only just found out—you are actually my father."

"What in the world is going on?" Shen Duo didn't understand; they had both sworn to the Heavenly Dao—could they really be twins?

"Even if you bore two daughters, my daughter is and can only be A Li! Su Chacha, you cannot be my daughter." Shen Kuo declared firmly.

Shen Yuan was surprised, while the others looked suddenly enlightened, "Did Zhao Yue bear a child with someone else?"

Shen Qingli stared for a moment, never expecting that Su Chacha was actually her half-sister sharing the same mother.

However, this did untangle the knot in her heart that had lasted years—turns out they were both blood-related, just that there was favoritism.

She never understood why, being Zhao Yue's own daughter, she could treat her so cruelly, yet treat Su Chacha like a birth mother.

"No! I didn't!" Zhao Yue vehemently denied.

Shen Kuo, however, was forceful, "You can swear again to the Heavenly Dao."

And this time, Zhao Yue dared not.

Shen Kuo's expression was bland; he and Zhao Yue never had much feeling between them, and that little gratitude they once had vanished completely after learning of the beastly things she had done to Shen Qingli.

"Impossible." Su Chacha couldn't accept it—since her master was her mother, how could Shen Kuo not be her father, and how could she not be a daughter of the Changshui Shen clan?

She looked at Zhao Yue, hoping for an affirmative answer.

Shen Yuan, however, said, "Throw them out."

"Wait."

"Wait."

Pei Jianshu and Shen Qingli said in unison.

Pei Jianshu was slightly taken aback, his gaze toward Shen Qingli gaining a subtle gleam.

Shen Qingli, however, didn't look at him; she crouched down, watching Su Chacha, who had just heard Shen Yuan's judgment and promptly "plopped" to her knees.

"Sister." Su Chacha hurriedly called out, "Sister, please don't drive me away; I won't compete with you for anything—I only wish to stay, to serve you, to toil like an ox or horse to repay the harm I previously caused you, please."

As long as she could stay, she…

"Good."

Shen Qingli said.

Su Chacha was first stunned, then overjoyed!

"Sister agreed?"

"Mm."

Shen Qingli nodded.

"Never leave again."

Shen Qingli raised her palm, releasing fire; five-colored flowing light entered Su Chacha's body.
