I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 753: The Shocked Shen Wei and Shen Yi

Ignoring Shen Yu, Shen Ying pulled Lu Zheng away from Phoenix Sleep Slope.

Back on the carriage, Lu Zheng asked, "Anywhere you want to go? Want to visit that cousin of yours in Yaozhou?"

Shen Ying shook her head, "Not necessary, there's nothing much to talk about even if we meet."

"Then how about visiting Phoenix Mountain?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile, "They say phoenixes used to live there, is it true?"

Shen Ying chuckled, "Of course it's just a nice name to sell things at a good price!"

So she instructed Old Huang to head towards the eastern entrance of Phoenix Mountain.

...

Elsewhere, Shen Yu, dazed, walked out of Phoenix Sleep Slope, looked around and felt a sudden chill. Then he started running towards Huangli County at full speed.

Gasping for breath, he rushed home, and saw a carriage parked at the entrance, indicating guests had arrived.

"Dad! Dad!"

With legs feeling as heavy as lead, Shen Yu still ran into the house, gripping the screen wall at the entrance, shouting loudly.

"Dad! Dad! Something big has happened! Wang Manzhu is actually…"

"A demon!"

A voice interrupted, and when Shen Yu looked up, he saw a fat monk appear, grabbing his wrist.

"Where is that demon?"

The fat monk, with a sharp gaze, looked Shen Yu up and down, "How do you know she's a demon? Knowing the truth, you actually managed to escape? Is she a demon that is lenient, or is the truth unbearable for you?"

Shen Yu stared blankly at the fat monk, feeling a qi circulating within him. Then the monk nodded, "No problem, you're human."

"Who are you?"

"Little Yu! Don't be rude, this is Master Zhixi from Guangxing Temple in Yaozhou!"

The speaker was Shen Yu's father, Shen Wei, accompanied by a man, two women, and a girl—Shen Yu's aunt Shen Yi, her son Mo Zonghan, and Shen Yu's sister Shen Qian.

Shen Yi and Shen Wei were born of the same mother, thus staying at Shen Wei's house while visiting the county.

"Dad! Aunt! Cousin!"

"Your aunt invited Master Zhixi along to perform a ritual for your grandparents during the Caiqing Festival."

Shen Wei said nervously, "As soon as we entered the house, Master Zhixi sensed demon qi. We were anxiously discussing whether to find you or act as if nothing happened and wait for you to return, but then you came back recklessly."

Shen Yi comforted him, "It's okay, it's fine as long as you're back safely."

"Cousin, how did you realize that woman is a demon?" Mo Zonghan asked curiously, "Is she good-looking?"

Mo Zonghan's question reminded Shen Yu of that huge rat's head, making him retch involuntarily.

"Good-looking…"

Shen Yu took a breath, suppressing the urge to curse.

"She… she tempted me to swear in front of mother's grave, to give her my heart, and then…"

Master Zhixi frowned and said, "Such a vow sounds suspicious, wasn't she revealing her true form to eat you once the vow was made?"

At this point, Master Zhixi asked curiously, "So how did you escape?"

"It was… it was Aunt who saved me…"

"Aunt?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Shen Wei asked, "Which aunt?"

"It was… it was…"

Shen Yu scratched his head, unsure of Shen Ying's name, so he said, "The aunt who married into the Wu Family, then had an accident while going to Yizhou!"

Shen Wei and Shen Yi were shocked, "What!?"

"What's wrong?"

Master Zhixi and Mo Zonghan looked at them, puzzled by their surprise.

Master Zhixi hurriedly asked, "To have saved the donor Shen Yu, this lady must be one of the Abnormal People. How is her Dao practice? If she's still combating that demon, the monk should go and support."

"No, no need."

Shen Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Aunt killed the demon with one move, and then tore the earth open and buried the demon."

"Oh? Still a master?" Master Zhixi smiled and then asked, "Your aunt didn't return with you?"

"Uh, she… she left after saving me…" Shen Yu replied.

"Oh oh, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, this is quite normal." Master Zhixi nodded, finding nothing unusual.

"Mon… Master…" Shen Yi stepped forward, interrupting Master Zhixi's soliloquy.

"What is it?"

"Cousin Ying, she had an accident over thirty years ago!"

"Hmm?"

"She's been dead for thirty years!"

Shen Yi confirmed, then asked Shen Yu, "Was the one who saved you really cousin Ying? What does she look like?"

"Appearance…" Shen Yu blinked, thinking hard, then blurted out under everyone's watch, "So beautiful!"

Shen Yi, "…"

Shen Wei clenched his fist, wanting to smack his face.

"Kind of like how Aunt looked when she was young!"

Shen Yu hastily added, "And she offered incense and candles to Shen Yue and his wife, that's how I recognized her at once."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and Shen Wei swallowed hard.

"She is young?" Master Zhixi suddenly asked nearby.

Shen Yu nodded repeatedly, "Exactly! Looks like she's in her twenties!"

"Are you sure she died?"

Shen Wei nodded quickly, "Certain, when the government sent her body back, we personally identified the corpse."

Master Zhixi nodded, "Then likely her divine soul entered the Netherworld, cultivated successfully, and returned to visit family."

Shen Yi and Shen Wei, "…"

"But, after all, there should be a distinction between humans and spirits. It's normal that she didn't meet you folks." Master Zhixi said, then smiled, "Nonetheless, it's good, with her secretly protecting, you are safer. See, Shen Yu is safely back!"

Shen Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He and Shen Yi knew well enough that Shen Ying didn't meet them not due to any human-spirit differences, but because they had wronged her.

Secretly protecting?

It's good enough if she doesn't come for revenge.

Though the matter is unpleasant, he was unwilling to mention it.

Although the issues originated from the previous generation, they had all enjoyed its perks. So the karma must be borne.

But judging by Shen Ying saving Shen Yu, she apparently harbors no resentment, though wishing to reconcile and entreat protection…

No matter how thick-skinned Shen Wei is, he doesn't dare to even entertain such thoughts.

"However…"

Master Zhixi switched the topic, "Although her gestures of paying homage to her parents and saving donor Shen Yu show she's not malicious, nevertheless, the distinction between humanity and spirits should be observed. The monk must visit her, to remind gently.

So, donor Shen Yu, please take me to your Shen Family's ancestral grave, the monk needs to take an offering to trace the qi back and meet that aunt of yours who died thirty years ago."
