251: Ouch! Senior, what are you doing!

"Sigh~"

"I've disturbed you, Brother Shen. Let's not catch up today..." Ji Wuji sighed, bowing to Shen Min. Immediately, his body began to merge into the Void Realm. This was not a method of tearing through space, but a true Fusion with the Void Realm, becoming one with it.

This was an innate Divine Ability of the ancient Ji Family.

At the same time.

Ji Chenyu, who was sitting on the ground with a dazed expression, tears streaming down her face, and constantly repeating, "This is impossible, it shouldn't be like this..." also gradually disappeared.

By this point, Ji Wuji did not want to stay and continue embarrassing himself.

He still needed to rush back to the Ji Family to summon the other Family Elders to deal with the upcoming turmoil; this matter had to be suppressed...

On the Demon Slaying Platform.

Shen Min nodded slightly, acknowledging Ji Wuji.

This farce ended quickly; after all, today's protagonist was the one attracting everyone's attention.

However, the various Holy Lords who had wanted to converse more with Shen Nian hadn't even had the chance to speak before he had already left...

Shen Family Main Hall.

An ancient aura permeated the air. The Shen Family Elders stood respectfully in the main hall, along with Shen Wudao, Shen Ye, and others.

These were the most core members of the Shen Family.

"Lord Emperor Shen, from today on, I can consider my power handed over. From now on, the Shen Family will only take orders from you!"

"These are some recent matters. Please, Lord Emperor Shen, review them and issue your orders!"

Shen Yang said respectfully. He stood at the very front with a stern expression, waving his hand to send a dozen or so ancient Jade Slips flying out.

At the same time, many voices rang out from behind.

"Hahaha, with a Prodigy like our Family Head, the Shen Family will surely recreate the glorious era of the Second Ancestor, suppressing the Heavenly Demon Realm as a single clan!"

"Right, right, right! And our Family Head's talent in the Dao of the Sword far exceeds that of the Second Ancestor. The future is promising!"

"Indeed. Come to think of it, I've been watching Shen Nian since he was small. I knew he would be a figure of importance, but my vision was still too limited..." one of the Shen Family Elders sighed, revealing a hint of self-reproach.

"I'm different from you. The Family Head's demeanor today while slaying the Yao Race royal Family was unparalleled. I said years ago that our Young Master of the Shen Family would definitely be gifted, and in the future, he would be an existence capable of suppressing the Yao Race and sweeping through the Heavenly Demon Palace!" another Shen Family Elder exclaimed, looking very serious.

"Ouch, how do I remember it being you who opposed the Old Ancestor appointing the Family Head as the Young Master of the Shen Family back then!" another Shen Family Elder immediately retorted.

"Bullshit! I held the Family Head when he was a child. Even back then, I sensed his terrifying Qi and blood power. He was definitely not an ordinary person, so how could I have opposed it!" That Shen Family Elder looked agitated, lying without batting an eyelid.

"Oh my, just because you held him, does that mean I didn't? I... I sensed it too!"

The Shen Family Elders looked at Shen Nian, who was at the head of the hall, with burning gazes, talking over one another. Some were even more excited; an elder whose teeth were almost all gone was still smiling at Shen Nian.

Shen Yang's mouth twitched, but some of these Shen Family Elders had higher seniority than him, so in the end, he didn't say anything more.

At the very back stood the Shen Family sequence, standing respectfully.

"Are these really the Shen Family Elders? When did they get so thick-skinned? How do I remember them all opposing it back then?" Shen Qianqiu transmitted his voice.

Shen Na, standing next to him, nudged him with her elbow, while Shen Wudao and Shen Ye both looked ahead with calm expressions.

The next second.

Shen Qianqiu suddenly felt several murderous gazes fixed on him, which stunned him.

Oh no!

I forgot about the capabilities of the Cangtian Hall; voice transmission is useless!!

Damn it, it's mainly because I don't come to the Cangtian Hall much!

I'm screwed, I'm screwed!

At this moment.

At the head of the hall.

Shen Nian had just slipped out of the Demon Slaying Platform when he was stopped by Shen Yang, who said there were still many important matters that required his decision.

Now, looking at the dozens of Jade Slips floating before him, which contained a wealth of information—some regarding the allocation of Shen Family resources, some regarding the dynamics of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and so on...

He only felt a headache coming on!

"Who was responsible for these matters before?" Shen Nian asked softly.

"Reporting to Lord Emperor Shen, it was this old man!" Shen Yang replied, bowing. He did not feel that Shen Nian was his Junior and thus failed to observe full etiquette.

Shen Nian looked at him, his gaze narrowing slightly. Memories of the person gradually surfaced. In his childhood, he had even heard the Old Ancestor mention Shen Yang many times, and he also recalled an important matter.

He did things flawlessly, was overly fair, and could even severely punish his own son.

This kid was actually the most suitable to be the Family Head. He had done a really good job over the years, it's just that his Realm was too low and his talent was insufficient. He had hope for the Dao Fusion Realm, but it was difficult to step into the peak.

Otherwise, even before you were born, Little Nian, I would have likely let him take the seat...

Most importantly, Shen Yang had a broad perspective and was a born leader, putting the interests of the Family Head above all else.

Don't hold a grudge against him for always punishing you. Sometimes, even I, the Old Ancestor, would get lectured by him for half a day when I did something wrong. Managing a Family is not easy, especially our Shen Family, with our ancient Legacy, which makes it even more troublesome.

By the way, Little Nian, if you become the Family Head in the future, you can dump the work on him. Hahaha, that's exactly what I did back in the day, dumped it on his grandfather's grandfather...

Thinking of this, Shen Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke softly.

"Grandpa Yang, there's no need to be so polite. You can just continue handling these things in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Yang was stunned for a moment. Hearing this form of address stirred something inside him.

This was the first time Shen Nian had called him that; in the past, he had always called him Old Ghost Yang...

Coming back to his senses, Shen Yang quickly bowed and said: "Family Head, this is not quite appropriate...!"

In the past, when the Shen Family didn't have a Family Head, he needed to do many things, but now it was different!

If he did this, wouldn't he be overstepping his bounds?

For someone as fair as him, that was absolutely not allowed!

"I say it's fine, so it's fine. That's settled!" Shen Nian said decisively, waving his hand to pass the Jade Slips back to him.

"This..." Shen Yang was suddenly at a loss. A Shen Family Elder beside him patted his shoulder and said: "Little Yang, just keep doing it. You've done quite well before. The Family Head trusts you so much, do a good job!"

Shen Yang frowned, a trace of hesitation on his face, but upon thinking that it was Shen Nian's order, he had no choice but to accept.

Immediately after, Shen Nian stood up and left.

Seeing this, Shen Ye immediately followed.

Outside the Shen Family Main Hall, on a long path paved with hundred-mile-long white Divine Stone.

"Emperor Shen, shall we meet at Little Wu Wu's palace tonight?" Shen Ye chased up to Shen Nian's side and said with a smile.

"Sure, but it will have to be a bit later. I'm going to go into seclusion first..."

After speaking, Shen Nian disappeared.

"?" Shen Ye was instantly dumbfounded.

Seclusion?

You only need such a short while for seclusion?

Are you kidding me!

"Ouch!"

"Senior Brother, why are you snatching my scallion pancake? I haven't finished eating it yet!"

"No!"

"Don't, Senior Brother!"

"That's my tool for eating, I'll die without it!"

"Ah, my white jade pearl chicken, I've saved it for a long time and couldn't bear to eat it. Senior Brother, don't..."
