Chapter 1597: Eternal Sin Fire Mirror, Open for Me!

When Shen Yunzhou stormed into the room and saw that familiar face, he could no longer hold back his emotions and burst into tears like a child.

Shen Juefeng slowly opened his eyes, looking at his son’s distinct yellow hair, his eye rims reddening as well.

Yet he forced himself to keep a stern face: “How old are you? Still so useless!”

Shen Yunzhou, however, rushed to the front of his father in two quick steps, his face smeared with tears and mucus: “Dad, I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…”

“Silly child…” Shen Juefeng suppressed his tears and reached out to rub his head, “It’s me who owes your sister and you too much all these years.”

Shen Yunzhou shook his head desperately: “It’s me who’s been immature, always resenting you for ignoring us, even hating you… I didn’t expect…”

Shen Juefeng stood up and lifted him, gently wiping the tear stains from his face with his sleeve, saying solemnly: “You look a lot like your mother. To be honest, you and your sister have always been your father’s pride.”

This belated acknowledgment made Shen Yunzhou unable to hold back any longer, and he hugged his father tightly.

Shen Juefeng smiled and gently patted his back, his voice hoarse: “I’ve heard everything your brother-in-law said about this period, well done!”

Shen Yunzhou just nodded vigorously, holding tighter for fear the person before him might disappear if he let go.

Zhou Qing stood quietly aside, watching this warm scene, and couldn’t help but let a smile curve his lips, feeling a long-lost warmth in his heart.

Shen Lieyang timely exchanged a glance with Zhou Qing, and the two quietly exited the room.

“Greetings, Third Uncle.” Zhou Qing greeted respectfully.

This address of “Uncle” made Shen Lieyang feel relieved, and he hurriedly helped him up: “It’s truly gratifying that you can let go of past grievances, Uncle is really pleased.”

He heavily patted Zhou Qing’s shoulder, his eyes shimmering with approval: “What you did with the Xiao Family and the Liu Family was splendid! Truly vented our anger!”

“It was what I had to do!” Zhou Qing humbly replied.

Shen Lieyang sighed: “My original plan was to slowly torment those beasts, making them live in fear for the rest of their lives.”

“But these years, your father-in-law has been in a state of recovery…”

He clenched his fist, “I’m not afraid of dying, only afraid there’d be no one to care for him afterward. I didn’t expect you would complete this task for me in the end.”

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, and the two stood in silent understanding, waiting quietly in the courtyard.

After an unknowable length of time, the door slowly creaked open.

Shen Yunzhou emerged with red eyes; upon seeing Zhou Qing, he immediately marched over, puffing angrily.

Zhou Qing touched his nose sheepishly, his gaze evasive.

Shen Lieyang couldn’t help but laugh—when he found Shen Yunzhou, he was covered in immobilizing talismans, unable to move in the inn.

Once the talismans were removed, he even fell from leg numbness.

“Dad’s calling you!” Shen Yunzhou finally squeezed out a sentence.

Zhou Qing was like receiving a pardon, scurrying into the house…

In the days following, the four discussed their revenge plan in the abandoned manor while waiting for Shen Juefeng’s recovery.

With the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal’s aid, a full recovery was expected within a month or two, greatly increasing their chances then.

Until one morning a month later, Zhou Qing suggested: “As a precaution, I’ll head into the Inner City to purchase some materials to refine a set of three-color Array Discs for each of you.”

He explained, “These Array Discs are powerful when triggered, useful at critical moments.”

Shen Juefeng thoughtfully glanced at Zhou Qing.

Shen Lieyang agreed emphatically.

Shen Yunzhou jumped up instantly: “Brother-in-law, I’ll go with you!”

Zhou Qing gently pressed Shen Yunzhou’s shoulder: “Two traveling together draws too much attention, besides your blond hair is too eye-catching. I’ll be quick, it won’t delay.”

He then took out a Four-color Communication Jade Scroll and waved it, “I found this in your sister’s Storage Bag, you should have the corresponding Jade Scroll, right? I’ll contact you immediately if needed.”

Shen Yunzhou pouted but eventually nodded: “Be back soon.”

As Zhou Qing’s figure disappeared at the mountain path’s end, Shen Yunzhou exhaled deeply, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Thinking of soon standing alongside his father, brother-in-law, and third uncle in the family’s revenge, his blood couldn’t help but boil.

Especially his father, Shen Juefeng, whose health showed clear improvement after this period of recuperation.

And had prematurely returned to the Early-stage Supreme Realm, though still needing a few days to stabilize.

“Two hours later, we set out for the Liu Family,” Shen Juefeng suddenly announced, his voice steady and powerful.

Shen Lieyang and Shen Yunzhou were both stunned.

“Not waiting for Zhou Qing?” Shen Lieyang frowned and asked.

Shen Yunzhou’s eyes rolled, showing contemplation: “Dad, you don’t want to involve my brother-in-law? After all, this is our Shen Family’s feud…”

Shen Juefeng walked to the door, looking in the direction Zhou Qing left, his expression complex: “It’s not that we’re afraid to involve him but rather that this boy… is afraid to implicate us.”

Shen Yunzhou looked puzzled: “What do you mean?”

However, as the head of the third house, Shen Lieyang instantly understood, his pupils contracting as he said: “Old Fourth, you mean, Zhou Qing isn’t going to buy materials at all? He’s going… to the Liu Family alone?”

“Yes.” Shen Juefeng nodded heavily.

“But, why?” Shen Yunzhou stomped his feet in anxiety.

Shen Juefeng turned around, his gaze deep: “In this past month, we’ve discussed so many plans, each with obvious flaws.”

“As the last bloodline of the Shen Family, we cannot afford any mishap; we must ensure everything is flawless.”

“But what about your brother-in-law?” He smiled bitterly, “He praised every flaw-ridden plan. With his meticulous mind, how could he not see the issues?”

Shen Lieyang pondered and nodded thoughtfully: “So these plans aren’t his real intentions… he has other plans.”
