Chapter 1174 Consequence

Yun Qianxue nodded gently and turned to Yun Lingwei. "Tell our people."

Yun Lingwei took the transmission jade out and contacted the disciples who took care of the skyship.

Swoosh!

Just as Shen Mingjun was about to ask Yun Lintian something, Shen Shanyuan suddenly appeared on the scene.

He glanced at Shen Ning briefly and turned to Shen Mingjun. "I have already told everyone to prepare a funeral."

Shen Mingjung frowned slightly. "You know it all along?"

Shen Shanyuan didn't reply. His gaze lingered on Shen Liqiu for a moment before shifting to Yun Lintian. "You two come with me."

Yun Lintian turned to Shen Mingjun and said. "We will talk later, Uncle."

Afterward, he followed Shen Shanyuan out with Shen Liqiu.

"Their strength has improved so much." Qin Mei said in surprise. "What exactly happened here?"

Shen Mingjun didn't say anything. He carefully picked Shen Ning's lifeless body up and walked out of the building.

The sky had become clear now, but his mood was low. The departure of Shen Ning meant the Shen Clan had lost the strongest guardian. He wasn't sure if the clan could hold on with the incoming war.

"What do you want to talk about?" In the private room, Shen Liqiu asked coldly. She didn't even take a seat and stood there, looking at Shen Shanyuan.

On the contrary, Yun Lintian sat in his seat and calmly sipped his tea.

Shen Shanyuan beckoned with his chin while pouring another cup of tea for Shen Liqiu. "Sit first."

However, Shen Liqiu didn't seem to listen. She continued to stand there and stared at Shen Shanyuan coldly.

Shen Shanyuan sighed softly and said. "There's a misunderstanding between us… Do you think I will truly let you marry that trash Lei Jun?"

"Misunderstanding?" Shen Liqiu curled her lips with a touch of sarcasm. She was forced to leave her home and wander outside for a period of time because of this man, yet he actually said it was a misunderstanding?

Shen Shanyuan sighed softly and said. "I went to the sixth floor before and saw everything."

Hearing this, Shen Liqiu frowned slightly. "What does it have to do with this?"

Shen Shanyuan leaned back slightly and said. "I understand everything… My father, he wants to change the fate of our clan."

He paused for a second and took a deep look at Shen Liqiu. "And the person he chose is you."

Shen Liqiu's brows knitted tightly upon hearing this.

Shen Shanyuan said further. "If I didn't force you to marry Lei Jun. Do you think you will leave the clan and go to the Southern Continent?"

It was at this moment did Shen Liqiu's expression changed drastically. "You mean…?"

Shen Shanyuan nodded slightly. "It's your great-grandpa's instruction. Besides, I can use this chance to earn some resources from the Divine Thunder Palace."

Shen Liqiu quickly asked. "Then why did you kill great-grandpa's people?"

"Do you think how the Star Gazing Palace and the Azure Palace know about our clan's situation?" Shen Shanyuan replied calmly. "Those people have long been bought by them."

"How could it be?" Disbelief was written all over Shen Liqiu's face. To her knowledge, those people were absolutely loyal to Shen Tingguang. How did they become a traitor?

It wasn't that she was naïve, fully believing they wouldn't betray. It was just that she had grown up under their care since she was young. This made her difficult to believe it.

Shen Shanyuan said softly. "At first, I didn't believe it, too. After all, those uncles were very close to me. Unfortunately, it was because they were too close that I started to believe they had betrayed us."

He paused briefly and explained. "I set up an information trap for them, and they took the bait. In the end, they confessed it themselves and committed suicide as they were ashamed."

Shen Shanyuan didn't want to go through the unpleasant details, as he knew how close those people were to Shen Liqiu, even though they were traitors.

Shen Liqiu's body trembled slightly as her face turned pale. A while later, she regained her calmness and asked in a deep voice. "You are a person with high ambition. How could you give up just because of great-grandpa's words?"

Hearing this, Shen Shanyuan suddenly laughed. "Hahaha! It seems I am a villain in your eyes. This is really sad."

He stopped laughing and said calmly. "Indeed, I am an ambitious person. Even now, I am still the same, and my goal of making the Shen Clan number one has never changed in the slightest."

"However, after witnessing everything on the sixth floor. I know that there's something I cannot change with my own hand. Since I cannot resist it, why should I insist further?"

Shen Shanyuan sighed softly and continued. "Before this, I had never understood why father didn't like me. He always treated me coldly and was never satisfied with my performance… Now I know why."

He looked at Shen Liqiu with a hint of pity in his eyes. "In the end, it was because he loved me that he had to treat your father and me like that. He didn't want us to be tied with the fate of the record keeper… You should understand it now since you have inherited his power."

Shen Liqiu immediately went silent. When she received Shen Tingguang's power, she naturally knew what fate awaited her in the near future.

If Yun Lintian failed to change the fate of this world, she would continue to exist and do the record keeper's duty further.

However, if Yun Lintian managed to change the fate of this world… There was no need for the record keeper to continue to exist… This was something she didn't tell Yun Lintian.

"No matter what outcomes we get in the end, nothing will happen to you." Suddenly, Yun Lintian said gently, causing Shen Liqiu's body to shudder.

Shen Liqiu's eyes widened as she looked at Yun Lintian in shock. "You… You know?"

Yun Lintian chuckled. "Don't insult my intelligence, alright? Do you think I don't understand the role of the record keeper? It's not that hard to guess what kind of consequence comes up with it."

"Moreover, your great-grandfather's words are very clear. He wants to change the fate of this clan, which means the clan will no longer continue as a record keeper if everything goes according to his wish… Is there anything difficult to understand?"
