Apart from the Vermillion Bird Clan’s main branch in the imperial capital, there were still 3 more side branches within the Long Xuan Empire . Every year, all of the side branches would report their circumstances to Shen Feng. The money and treasures that were harvested by them had to be delivered to the main branch to be distributed. In fact, apart from the Qilin Clan, the other four large clans’ main branches that were in the imperial capital were all merely imposing existences. The ones that were genuinely making profits for their respective clans were the side branches.
This was just like the financial groups of the modern era, where the ones that were actually selling the products were the staff below—it’d be enough for the chairman to simply sit in his office and plan strategies.
Shen Yanxiao very quickly grasped a rough image of the circumstances within the Vermillion Bird Clan. Regarding her involvement, both Shen Yue and Shen Duan displayed an enormous amount of discontentment, but with the hinderance from Shen Feng’s suppression and Shen Siyu’s existence, they didn’t dare to publicly display any displeasement towards Shen Yanxiao. Moreover, from this period of time onwards, the Vermillion Bird had begun to walk around the interior of the Vermillion Bird Clan. However every time he appeared, he’d certainly cause a burst of disturbance.
This was the Vermillion Bird that had disappeared for centuries and who had once again appeared before everyone. Everyone treated the sight of the Vermillion Bird as one of their lifetime’s biggest points of pride. It was to the extent that, every time the Vermillion Bird appeared, there’d be someone that’d attempt to follow him from the front or from the back, and attempt to stay awhile longer with the the mythological beast of folklore. So much so that even the dropped strands of hair from the Vermillion Bird would incite a group of people fighting over it in order to claim it and collect it so that they could give it to their late offsprings so that they could slowly look at it with marvel.
These kind of frantic idolizers couldn’t help but cause Shen Yanxiao to associate them with those frantic idolaters of the 24th century.
Only after Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei had returned, were they capable of smoothly getting out of the bed and moving about—after a full five days of rest. As soon as they were able to move about, they found out that Shen Feng had already hinted that Shen Yanxiao was to be the heir to be the next clan leader. For a moment, the two brats’ minds were at an incomparable loss. At that moment, they realized that the idiot that they themselves had been accustomed to usually bullying had unexpectedly became the future clan leader in one leap. That kind of frame of mind was completely unbearable compared to a third party stepping into a relationship.
