Chapter 26: Already Enrolled<\/p>\n
The length of time Shen Yan could now stay within the Extraordinary Ability Space was one quarter-hour.<\/p>\n
So, after one quarter-hour, she left the Extraordinary Ability Space.<\/p>\n
Perhaps she was too tired, because she directly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.<\/p>\n
When she woke up, it was already nighttime, and Hong Ri and Yin Yue were both watching over her by her bedside.<\/p>\n
Seeing her awake, Hong Ri couldn’t help but tremble, crying tears of joy. “Young Lady, you’re finally awake!”<\/p>\n
“How long did I sleep?” Shen Yan felt her head was a bit heavy and foggy. She raised her hand to touch her own forehead; it was very hot.<\/p>\n
Yin Yue said, “Young Lady, you are sick. You have slept for two days and two nights.”<\/p>\n
Shen Yan’s expression paused slightly, and she pressed her lips together tightly.<\/p>\n
She had actually slept in a daze for two whole days, completely unaware.<\/p>\n
“Young Master is very worried about you.” Hong Ri said with an anxious face, her words quick like beads clattering on an abacus. “After Young Master learned you were punished by the Patriarch, he went to the main hall to find the Patriarch of the Shen Family. But the Patriarch joined forces with the other Elders to subdue Young Master. The Patriarch has confined Young Master.”<\/p>\n
“Confined him?” Shen Yan’s expression hardened.<\/p>\n
Hong Ri nodded worriedly.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan said, “With Father’s ability, who in the Shen Family could possibly keep watch over him?”<\/p>\n
Yin Yue said, “Because the Patriarch requested the presence of the Elder Supreme, that is, Young Lady, your great-grandfather, Young Master’s grandfather, and also the former Patriarch Shen Buyi.”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Shen Yan lowered her eyes. In the original owner’s memories, she hadn’t heard of such a person, and this Elder Supreme Shen Buyi was actually the original owner’s great-grandfather.<\/p>\n
Yin Yue continued, “It is said Young Master was raised by the Elder Supreme…”<\/p>\n
Hong Ri’s eyes reddened. “Young Lady, even though Young Master is confined, he still cares about you greatly. Every hour, he sends someone to West Jade Court to inquire about your current condition.”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Shen Yan slowly sat up from the bed and pulled back the covers.<\/p>\n
“Young Lady, what do you want to do?”<\/p>\n
“Go visit Father.”<\/p>\n
Hong Ri quickly tried to stop her. “No, Young Lady! You are still sick. If Young Master sees you visiting him in your sickly state, he will definitely blame us for not taking good care of you. He also won’t be happy. And it’s already late at night now.”<\/p>\n
Shen Yan stopped moving.<\/p>\n
Before the two of them could try to persuade her further, she directly lay back down.<\/p>\n
Hong Ri and Yin Yue were stunned.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan knew Shen Tianhao held a pivotal position in the Shen Family and definitely wouldn’t be harmed, so that bit of worry she had just felt faded away.<\/p>\n
She remembered another matter and asked, “How much time is left until the enrollment period for the competition held by the Qiutian Sect ends?”<\/p>\n
Yin Yue answered, “There are still two days.”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Shen Yan felt a slight relief in her heart.<\/p>\n
It was good she didn’t miss the enrollment time because of her illness.<\/p>\n
Her current body was still too weak.<\/p>\n
She must exercise properly and strengthen her physique.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan suddenly remembered something: tomorrow was Shen Xue’s birthday banquet.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan’s gaze turned slightly cold.<\/p>\n
This birthday banquet would be the last one Shen Xue would ever have.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The next day.<\/p>\n
Early in the morning, the Shen Family already had a faintly bustling atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Because this was the birthday banquet for the Shen Family’s Eldest Young Lady.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan got up early, threw on a purple fur-trimmed cloak, and then went out of the Shen Family with Hong Ri and Yin Yue.<\/p>\n
The news of her leaving the Shen Family soon reached the ears of the Patriarch of Shen Family and others.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Shen Family was very displeased that Shen Yan was venturing out while still sick and injured.<\/p>\n
If she dared to cause trouble for Xue’er or the Shen Family, he definitely wouldn’t let her off lightly this time.<\/p>\n
The Patriarch of the Shen Family also dispatched a Shadow Guard to follow Shen Yan, ordering the guard to watch her every move.<\/p>\n
At the same time.<\/p>\n
There were still many people lined up at the enrollment booth set up by the Qiutian Sect within the Imperial City.<\/p>\n
The carriage carrying Shen Yan quickly arrived at the enrollment booth. Just as Shen Yan was about to get off the carriage to join the line, she heard the dissuading voices of Hong Ri and Yin Yue.<\/p>\n
“Young Lady, are you really going to enroll in the competition? It’s too dangerous! If Young Master knows, he will surely beat us to death!”<\/p>\n
“Young Lady, the competition is very cruel. If something were to happen to you during the match, Young Master would be heartbroken!”<\/p>\n
“Please, Young Lady, think it over again!”<\/p>\n
Inside the carriage, both Hong Ri and Yin Yue were kneeling before Shen Yan. They looked extremely frightened, torn and terrified.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan looked at them.<\/p>\n
Since she had made her choice, she wouldn’t change it for anyone. She needed to obtain the Blood-Devouring Pearl, and then become strong.<\/p>\n
“Don’t try to persuade me.” Just as Shen Yan was about to step out of the carriage, a clamor of noise came from outside.<\/p>\n
“Look, look!”<\/p>\n
“The announcement board says that Shen Yan, that waste, actually enrolled in the competition too. Is she seeking death? Hahahaha…”<\/p>\n
“This is hilarious! I heard she regained her senses. I thought she would become a bit smarter, but it seems she’s still just as stupid! How could she not realize she’s a waste before enrolling in the Qiutian Sect’s competition!”<\/p>\n
“That waste probably thinks that just because the Shen Family’s Eldest Young Lady entered the competition, she has the skill to join too?”<\/p>\n
“It seems even after regaining her senses, she’s still just as foolish.”<\/p>\n
The crowd outside burst into loud laughter.<\/p>\n
At this moment, Shen Yan’s expression changed slightly. Who had enrolled her?<\/p>\n
Hong Ri realized something, her face changing to shock. “Young Lady was unconscious for two days and two nights. How could she possibly have the chance to enroll? Who is plotting against Young Lady behind her back?”<\/p>\n
Yin Yue also realized someone was targeting their Young Lady from behind. With a serious expression, she said, “Young Lady, if you step out of the carriage now, it will surely stir up even more gossip. How about letting this servant go down to check the situation for you?”<\/p>\n
Shen Yan thought for a moment and quickly guessed who might have enrolled her in the Qiutian Sect competition: either Shen Xue, or Nangong Yu, or both of them together.<\/p>\n
Because only they would be so eager for her to die.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan frowned. She had been unconscious for two days and two nights, and with Father confined, the matter of going to dissolve her engagement with Nangong Yu had been temporarily delayed.<\/p>\n
Shen Yan said to Yin Yue, “Go and check if I am really enrolled.”<\/p>\n
“Yes, Young Lady!”<\/p>\n
Yin Yue quickly got off the carriage. She then pushed through the people crowding around the announcement board and swiftly found a line of small print on the notice paper: Shen Yan of the Shen Family, Nangxiao Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Yin Yue’s heart sank, and her expression grew even more serious.<\/p>\n
Young Lady was really enrolled in the competition by someone else!<\/p>\n
Didn’t one have to enroll in person?<\/p>\n
Then, Yin Yue asked the people around her, “For this competition’s enrollment rules, doesn’t one need to be present in person to enroll successfully?”<\/p>\n
“That’s right!”<\/p>\n
Before Yin Yue could process this, the people around her laughed again with delight.<\/p>\n
“When did Shen Yan, that waste, come to enroll? She truly has guts! She actually came in person! If the competition didn’t have no limits on Cultivation Level, she really wouldn’t have been able to enroll successfully.”<\/p>\n
“Does she think she’s Shen Xue?”<\/p>\n
Numerous mocking words came at her like rolling waves.<\/p>\n
Yin Yue’s face flushed red with suppressed anger.<\/p>\n
How could her Young Lady be as bad as these people said?!<\/p>\n
Holding her breath, Yin Yue returned inside the carriage. When she saw Shen Yan’s calm expression, her mood actually settled a bit.<\/p>\n
Still somewhat indignant, Yin Yue said, “Young Lady, I don’t know who it was or what method they used, but they managed to enroll you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
