Chapter 32
What? An'er is not only a peerless genius, but also has the ability to foresee the f
A piercing scream suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests, causing the air to tremble.
Nian Qiuhua and Shen Wuming exchanged a glance, their expressions grave, and immediately headed towards the direction of the sound.
A few minutes later, the two of them, wearing invisibility talismans, peeked out from behind a tree not far from the sound.
In the sky ahead, two birds were seen flying and chasing each other.
One of them had gorgeous feathers with a bluish-green sheen, and its figure appeared and disappeared in the light blue sky, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. It was relatively small in size.
The other one has grayish-blue feathers, which are not beautiful, but they are all the same color and are also larger.
At this moment, it was angrily chasing and attacking the blue bird.
Nian Qiuhua: "?"
Shen Wuming: "?"
Shen Wuming transmitted his voice to Nian Qiuhua: "Madam, does this look like the Recluse Sparrow? I've never seen one before. You know my family has been poor since I was a child..."
"Yes."
Nian Qiuhua interrupted, saying that she had read through the family's encyclopedia of spirit beasts when she was a child.
They would devote a great deal of ink to describing the Hidden Sparrow, a celestial-level spirit beast.
At this moment, all the descriptions in the book match up with these two.
Her gaze was fixed on the two reclusive sparrows that were still chasing each other in the sky.
"My lord, look, the one with the more beautiful feathers is the male sparrow, and the other one, which is stronger, is the female sparrow. However, the male sparrow only avoids the female sparrow's attacks and does not fight back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuming observed carefully and concluded within seconds: "These two are a pair! It matches up, Madam, it all matches what An'er said!"
Nian Qiuhua gritted her teeth: "What's so good about facing off against Shen Wuming?!"
As soon as the telepathic message landed, the female sparrow flapped her wings and let out a furious cry. Instantly, a huge wind blade formed and rapidly attacked the male sparrow.
Just as it was about to strike, the male sparrow hastily dodged to the side.
Shen Wuming and Nian Qiuhua both breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, they saw that the female sparrow was relentless and wanted to attack again.
Unfortunately, after several more desperate dodges, the male sparrow finally gave up.
After calling out to the female sparrow once, it quickly flew away into the distance.
Seeing this, the female sparrow did not pursue further, but her body shape changed slightly.
A few seconds later, a common little sparrow from the forest stood on a branch next to its nest, looking around alertly.
Several times, it looked toward where Nian Qiuhua and Shen Wuming were hiding, tilting its head and staring at them suspiciously.
Shen Wuming and Nian Qiuhua barely dared to breathe, huddled together cautiously, not daring to move an inch.
Shen Wuming leaned on Nian Qiuhua's shoulder and transmitted his voice, "Madam, we seem capable of defeating the male sparrow, but the female sparrow might be more troublesome!"
Nian Qiuhua replied telepathically, "It's alright. We'll discuss it with our clan; we'll surely come up with a solution."
"Also, my husband, have you noticed anything strange about this reclusive sparrow?"
When this was mentioned, Shen Wuming became serious and replied, "Madam, this female sparrow has such a violent temper, even driving away the male sparrow. I suspect that, as An'er said, she is already pregnant."
"Due to changes in her physical condition, her personality changed drastically!"
Nian Qiuhua nodded in agreement and looked at Shen Wuming: "Husband, that should be the case."
"This matter matches every detail of An'er's dream; we absolutely cannot underestimate it. Once we've escaped, we must immediately convene a clan meeting upon our return!"
"I wholeheartedly agree with your foresight, my lady. Better safe than sorry!"
The two exchanged a glance, both with worry in their eyes.
If everything An'er said comes true, then Qingcheng...
-
Late at night, at the Shen family home.
Shen Wuming and Nian Qiuhua finally waited until the female sparrow went out to forage for food, and then hurriedly returned to their clan.
At this moment, the large council hall was already full of people, with all the clan elders and direct blood relatives present.
Seeing his elder brother Shen Wuming's solemn expression, Shen Yue asked in confusion, "Brother, it's so late, why are we suddenly holding a clan meeting? What happened?"
Shen Wuming's gaze swept over the expressions of the crowd below, and seeing many looks of confusion, he spoke to Shen Yue in a deep voice: "Second brother, this matter is a long story, but it is of great importance!"
Sitting next to Shen Wuming, Nian Qiuhua continued, "That's right, does everyone remember what happened when my husband and I went out half a month ago?"
Elder Jin, his eyelids drooping, stroked his beard: "If I remember correctly, it's about the Second Miss?"
"Oh, Elder Jin, how did you know?"
Shen Wuming raised an eyebrow and asked, "My wife and I didn't reveal a single word about this before we set off!"
Elder Jin raised his eyes, revealing a pair of wise eyes: "Hehe, I happen to have a cousin who is on duty at the Holy Bright Sect. He is an outer sect elder of the Holy Bright Sect."
As he spoke, Elder Jin revealed a smug look and chuckled, "I also know that the Second Miss is currently on Dragon Island, isn't she?"
"The Second Miss possesses terrifying talent. She was directly abducted by the Dragon Clan and forcibly taken into their clan. She is a genius unparalleled in the Eastern Continent for the past hundred years!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room gasped in shock.
"Hiss!" X30
Shen Yue was the most shocked. He looked at his elder brother in disbelief: "Elder brother and sister-in-law, how could I, your younger brother, know nothing of such an important matter!"
"Moreover, our Shu An is actually a peerless genius??? Shu An??? Is her talent really that outstanding?"
His second niece, who always seems to misunderstand others and just stares blankly and giggles?
She used to pull his hair when he was little, and he suspects that she's partly responsible for his baldness.
The others also looked on with suspicion and were shocked, all glancing at Shen Wuming and his wife.
"Could it be that the clan chief and his wife called this clan meeting tonight specifically for this matter?"
Although he didn't know how the version circulating outside had turned into the dragon clan forcibly keeping their daughter, Shen Wuming was still secretly pleased.
Okay, it was really cool.
However, he managed to suppress the smile on his lips and said modestly, "Oh, Elder Jin, you flatter me. I don't deserve such praise, but An'er does have some talent."
"Hehe, however, today's clan meeting isn't about this matter, but something else entirely. It's a long story, and it all started with An'er..."
Half an hour later, after hearing the whole story, Shen Yue slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed excitedly, "What? An'er is not only a peerless genius, but also has the ability to predict the future? Her talent is truly terrifying!"
As soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, several voices of agreement rang out in the hall—
"Yes, it's truly unexpected that the Second Miss possesses such outstanding talent. The rise of our Shen family is promising, Patriarch!"
"The secrets of heaven are most unpredictable and ever-changing; how could you, young lady, possess such talent?"
"I never imagined that I would live to see the rise of my Shen family!"
Hearing everyone's exclamations, Shen Wuming couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
But seeing that everyone's attention had already gone astray, Nian Qiuhua had no choice but to raise her hand and tap the table lightly, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. The main point of this clan meeting is that our Qingcheng will suffer a calamity."
Upon seeing Nian Qiuhua speak, everyone immediately fell silent, their smiles vanished, and they began to seriously discuss the matter of the reclusive sparrow.
"However, I believe we should observe the matter of the reclusive sparrow further!"
"Yes, but if the Second Miss's prediction comes true, Qingcheng will be in dire straits. We must make plans as soon as possible!"
"I agree! As the saying goes, 'When the nest is in peril, how can the eggs remain intact?'"
Nian Qiuhua and Shen Wuming exchanged a glance, their expressions grave, and immediately headed towards the direction of the sound.
