Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2500: Chapter 2501: The Shen Family’s Past

Lord Yuehua sighed deeply, "I believe you also noticed that this painting closely resembles the friend who gifted you the Sword Intent."

Xue An nodded.

"I know you must have many questions, like how your friend, who clearly exists within the Multiverse, is related to the Shen Family from Sky Beyond the Skies, and who the person in this painting is, right?"

Xue An nodded again.

"Don’t worry, since you have proven yourself as a Saint, you naturally have the qualifications to know about these matters. I will slowly explain them to you as a reward for your help," Lord Yuehua said solemnly.

"Alright!"

Lord Yuehua waved his sleeve, and the surroundings instantly changed from the plain and empty room to a warmly decorated tea room.

The tea was excellent, the water was pure, and Lord Yuehua personally poured Xue An a cup before speaking solemnly.

"Do you know why the Shen Family is relentlessly pursuing you, determined to retrieve the Sword Intent in your possession?"

Xue An took a sip of tea, and replied casually, "Isn’t it because of the preciousness of the Sword Intent? It cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders?"

"Precious Sword Intent?" Lord Yuehua sneered, "That’s right! Shen Family’s Sword Intent is exceptionally unique; practitioners can condense all their Sword Intent into a small sword before dying, which is indeed valuable. But do you think it’s just for that reason?"

"The root of everything lies with the person who gifted you the Sword Intent, because this person is the descendant of a discarded disciple from the Shen Family!"

"A discarded disciple?"

"Yes, a discarded disciple!" Lord Yuehua’s expression became serious, "To be precise, an extraordinary woman with unparalleled talent!"

At this, a look of fascination appeared in Lord Yuehua’s eyes, "That takes us back to thousands of years ago, when I was just an ordinary Yin and Yang Clan member. By chance, I met her, who was in her prime and hailed as the number one in Sky Beyond the Skies!"

"How to describe the scene when I first saw her? At that time, my talent was mediocre, my strength even more so, standing in the crowd without being noticeable!"

"But she was the favored daughter of heaven, loved by all. Even a distant glance made me feel inferior..."

Seeing Lord Yuehua lost in memories, Xue An did not urge him, just listened quietly.

"I was very self-conscious then, without the courage to approach her, yet she was so approachable. Everyone surrounded her, leaving me unnoticed!"

"This made me feel very awkward at the time. She obviously noticed this and smiled as she came forward to speak to me!"

Happiness showed on Lord Yuehua’s face, "It was during this conversation that I learned her name, Shen Jingshu! A true genius since the establishment of the Shen Family sect, surpassing all her peers!"

"Shen Jingshu...." Xue An softly recited the name, light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Shen Jingshu! You can probably guess what happened next!" Lord Yuehua self-deprecatingly smiled, "Although I was of low status then, I fell madly in love with her. Isn’t that ridiculous?"

But Xue An shook his head sincerely, "Not ridiculous! Young love is the most normal thing, how could it be ridiculous?"

Lord Yuehua cast a grateful look at Xue An, "Thank you."

Then he continued, his tone both somber and nostalgic, "Despite my mediocre strength back then, I trained frantically to get close to her, hoping to catch her attention at various young people’s gatherings."

"My wish was simple, even if she might never like me, just being able to see her from afar was enough to satisfy me! Those were truly beautiful and pure days."

Xue An remained silent.

Who would have thought that this Yin and Yang Clan leader, who stood above millions, had such a humble past.

"But good times didn’t last; soon Sky Beyond the Skies became restless, and the Evil Creature Army appeared, plunging the entire world into endless war. As a Yin and Yang Clan disciple, I naturally wasn’t spared and was sent to the battlefield!"

"But then I learned something...." Lord Yuehua paused, struggling to continue.

"Shen Jingshu, the Shen Family’s most dazzling figure, hailed as a genius among geniuses, was expelled by the Shen Family and struck from their records at that time."

"Do you know what my mood was upon hearing this news? I was distraught, risking being branded a deserter, escaped the battlefield to inquire at the Shen Family!"

"Only then did I learn that her expulsion was due to a strong conflict with the Shen Family’s beliefs at the time, leading to her leaving without saying goodbye, prompting the Shen Family to make such a decision!"

"What intense conflict?" Xue An couldn’t help but ask.

He understood well that someone held in such high esteem by Lord Yuehua was no ordinary person. Such disciples are crucial for a sect’s prosperity, sometimes even surpassing the importance of the Family Head.

But for such a person to be forcibly expelled, clearly something extraordinary had occurred.

Hearing Xue An’s question, Lord Yuehua sneered but did not answer directly, only mocking, "How do you think the Shen Family ranks in terms of strength in Sky Beyond the Skies now?"

"Very strong!" Xue An replied bluntly.

"That’s right, very strong! Some privately rank the Shen Family along with the Daoist Family, Ru Family, and my Yin and Yang Clan as the strongest forces in today’s Sky Beyond the Skies. But do you know why they are so powerful?"

"It’s because they adopted a shameful neutral stance during the Evil Creature invasion, opting not to actively engage in battle or directly confront the creatures!"

"Due to this stance, they suffered the least loss of all families in the war! Many forces and families perished during that great battle, even those that survived were severely weakened, and have yet to recover, like the Bing Family you are familiar with!"

Listening to this, Xue An finally comprehended something.

Indeed.

Only to hear Lord Yuehua continue, "The fierce conflict between Shen Jingshu and the Shen Family arose from differing stances on confronting the Evil Creatures."

"Shen Jingshu insisted on fighting bravely, but the Shen Family leadership at the time believed it was not their concern, hence saw no need to expend force by joining."

"Had it stopped there, it might not have led to her leaving abruptly, but one of Shen Jingshu’s other viewpoints enraged the Shen Family leaders, and this viewpoint is related to you!"
