After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 629: Don’t Come Back to the Shen Family After This (Part 4)
Ordinary people may not know, but these aristocratic families are well aware.
In Hua Country, there are openly ten great families, composed of both old clan lineages and newly risen elites, the most distinguished of households.
Beyond the ten great families, there also exist four hidden families, which usually remain out of sight and only emerge when there’s a significant national crisis.
However, the offspring of the four great families still occasionally venture into the mortal world, so in reality, they could only be considered semi-hidden.
Besides these four semi-hidden families, there’s an extremely secretive family, which is genuinely entirely hidden.
It is said that the last time the Immortal Sect opened, their entire family entered it, leaving only one branch behind in the mortal world.
When a great upheaval approached, the Nan Family was suppressed by certain individuals, driven by covetousness for the Nan Family’s cultivation technique, a technique rumored to grant immortality, which allegedly led to the death of the eldest son of the Nan Family.
But after the death of the Nan Family’s eldest son, all those who targeted the Nan Family suddenly met with calamities, died beyond resurrection, and since then, no one dared to move against the Nan Family.
Who wouldn’t desire the Immortal Technique? Not to mention, just the thought of obtaining the Cultivation Method is tempting enough.
And now, his grandson, Shen Mou, had the fortune of becoming a disciple to the Eldest Miss Nan!
Does that mean his grandson has acquired the Nan Family’s cultivation technique?
Shen Qi seemed to see through Mr. Shen’s thoughts, saying, “The Cultivation Technique taught by my Master can develop to the Innate level, and upon reaching Innate level, one can have a life expectancy of over two hundred years.
If I were to continue following my Master, perhaps I could even receive techniques beyond the Innate level. But sadly, Shen Yan severed my destiny with that opportunity.”
Old Master Shen felt deeply pained for his grandson.
He thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, “Is there any way—”
Shen Qi cut him off: “No! When the Master imparted the Cultivation Technique to me, she placed a restriction within my mind, making it impossible for me to disclose the technique. If I try to force it out, I would bleed from all seven orifices and die. Do you still want me to reveal the Cultivation Technique?”
Old Master Shen was startled to realize that one could impose such a restriction within the human mind.
But on second thought, even ordinary Cultivation Techniques aren’t casually taught; that Qiqi could receive personal teaching from the lady is already an incredible fortune — how could he possibly be allowed to share it with the family?
“Moreover, I’m already starting to forget some things, I estimate that in a few more days, I won’t even remember what my Master looks like.”
He sighed and said, “Grandfather, I’m not pressuring you, but your sister—”
“She insulted my Master, I no longer recognize her as my sister!” Shen Qi declared.
“What, she insulted your Master?” Old Master Shen asked fearfully, “How did she insult your Master?”
Shen Qi sighed and recounted: “She gave me one thousand yuan to cover several months of my food and lodging expenses, claiming the excess was a reward for my Master. My Master said—”
He straightforwardly narrated everything his sister did after going to the courtyard at Dragon Head Ridge where his Master resided.
All this had been mentioned by Shen Yan before, but she only shared the parts that were favorable to her, omitting the unfavorable ones.
Old Master Shen never expected that Shen Yan displayed such a demeanor outside, a failure in his upbringing indeed.
Let alone the fact that the other party was an expert mingling in the mortal world, even an ordinary person wouldn’t tolerate being disrespected in such a manner.
That the other party merely threw Shen Yan out of the courtyard must have been out of consideration for Shen Qi’s feelings.
After Shen Qi left, Old Master Shen pondered for a long time before summoning Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was somewhat anxious: “Grandfather, did you want to see me?”
Old Master Shen looked at Shen Yan before him and shook his head: “Yanyan, you should return to your husband’s home soon, and from now on, don’t come back to the Shen Family.”
