After she was captured and brought back to the Shi family, she was locked up in the cell again. This time, Shi Xuan asked her to open the door again.
Shi Sheng did not resist, but the result was the same as before. The door did not move at all.
Shi Sheng calmly suggested that she was too weak, and this statement might be consistent with what some people said. Out of confidence in himself, Shi Xuan felt that Shi Sheng could not do anything, so he let Shi Sheng learn with the Shi family.
Shi Sheng kept learning and working hard to become stronger.
Shi Xuan would occasionally let her try to open the door, but the result was naturally not what she wanted.
Shi Sheng began to secretly search for the Shi family's secrets. She used a year to find out why Shi Xuan wanted to open the door and why Shi Xuan valued her so much.
Legend had it that when the interstellar era arrived, the ancestors of the Shi family left behind a lot of wealth and vitality behind the door for their descendants.
Since ancient times, there had been an unwritten rule that the direct descendants were in charge. It was the same at that time. The door could only be opened by the direct descendants. However, after so many years of development, there would always be people who tried to usurp the throne.
After so many years, who knew who the direct descendants were?
Perhaps they were already dead. Even if they were alive, no one knew where they were.
When it came to Shi Xuan's generation, all the big families began to decline, and the Shi family was no exception. They just looked good. The only ones who could support the Shi family were Shi Xuan and a few elders.
Shi Xuan wanted to open the door and make the Shi family stronger. He also seemed to want something from it.
It was not that he did not think of using advanced technology to open the door, but the door was indestructible. No advanced technology was effective. Shi Xuan did not dare to use anything more effective. He was afraid that he would blow up the door.
Therefore, someone suggested to use the most talented person in the Shi family to try. The Shi family had the Time Flower as a guide. When an extremely talented person was born, the Time Flower would give a hint.
Shi Xuan waited for nearly a hundred years, and the first person born with the Time Flower's guidance came.
It was not Shi Sheng, but his eldest son's daughter, Shi Yu.
His eldest son was against his actions. After Shi Yu was born, their family moved out of the Shi family's main residence.
It was not easy for Shi Xuan to wait for this opportunity. Naturally, he would not give it up. He secretly got someone to extract Shi Yu's blood, but the result disappointed him.
Just when he thought there was no hope, the second person guided by the Time Flower was born.
It should have been a happy thing for the Shi family to have two talented geniuses in succession, but Shi Xuan did not think so.
Back then, as a direct descendant, he was almost squeezed out by a collateral relative. That person was Shi Mu's father. Shi Mu's father was also very talented and had always been learning with the direct descendants. However, his views were extremely different from Shi Mu's. At that time, the head of the family was more inclined towards Shi Mu's father.
Sometimes, for the better development of the family, some family heads would not choose a direct descendant as their successor.
If he hadn't decisively snatched the position of the Patriarch, he wouldn't have been able to do anything now.
He hated Shi Mu's father and felt that he was coveting the position of the head of the family. Due to the fact that he had just become the head of the family and Shi Mu's father was one of the most talented people in the family, the elders were watching, so he could not openly deal with him.
Later, Shi Mu's father finally died, but who knew that another Shi Mu would appear.
Shi Mu's temper was exactly the same as his father's. Every time he saw him, it was as if he was looking at Shi Mu's father. He was furious, but as the head of the family, he could not be calculative with a junior.
Until Shi Sheng was born, she was actually like his granddaughter. What right did she have …
When Shi Xuan was young, he almost lost the position of the head of the Shi family because of Shi Mu's father. So, after so many years, he had always remembered it.
Shi Yu was his granddaughter. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. He could not do anything to Shi Yu. Even taking her blood was done behind his eldest son's back.
However, Shi Sheng was different. She was the granddaughter of the person he hated the most. Even if he had to sacrifice her, he would not care.
When she was just born, he tried to use her blood to open the door, but the result was the same as Shi Yu's. There was no reaction.
After that, he believed what others said, thinking that she was too young and too weak. The ancestor who closed the door back then could cross time and space, so he gave Shi Sheng the name and left them to their own devices.
The appearance of a genius meant that their family would gain a foothold in the Shi family, so he ordered that this matter not be spread. When he found out that Shi Mu's leg was broken, he immediately chased them out of the Shi family's main residence.
Although Shi Xuan saw them being chased out, he sent people to keep an eye on them.
When he found out that Shi Mu was not doing badly, but was getting better, he could not sit still.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to send people to capture them.
Shi Sheng was already ten years old. Perhaps she already had the ability to do so.
What happened next was just like how things developed.
Shi Sheng did not know what exactly happened in her grandfather's generation that made Shi Xuan so afraid of her grandfather, whom she had never met or heard her father mention.
However, Shi Xuan dragged the grudges of the previous generation into the next generation, and even the third generation, which was enough to show his state of mind.
"Hey."
Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. Shi Sheng closed the small booklet in his hand, took out the knife at his waist, and stabbed without hesitation.
"Ah!" The girl exclaimed. Her red dress flashed, and she easily avoided her attack.
The girl supported herself with the vines beside her. "It's me, Shi Yu."
Shi Sheng frowned at the girl. The girl was very beautiful, and her clear eyes seemed to be able to speak. She was looking at her with a speechless expression. "Aren't you too nervous? This is the Shi family."
Shi Sheng put the knife back at his waist and replied coldly, "It's precisely because it's the Shi family."
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment. Thinking that she was different from them, she felt a little awkward.
Shi Sheng touched the uneven surface of the booklet and turned slightly. "Thank you for the assessment."
If it was not for the weapon that Shi Yu gave her, she might not have been able to walk out.
"You're welcome." Shi Yu smiled. She tried to get closer to Shi Sheng, but Shi Sheng hid the booklet behind his back and looked at her coldly.
Shi Yu was a little frightened by his gaze. She stopped in her tracks and awkwardly tried to find a topic. "I saw that your posture was a little wrong. Do you want to practice with me?"
"He won't allow it." Shi Sheng turned around and left.
That 'he' was naturally referring to Shi Xuan.
Although she could learn with the Shi family, their progress was different from hers. Moreover, those people could not teach her. She could only rely on herself to understand and figure out everything.
"If I don't say anything, who will know if you don't say anything?" Shi Yu caught up with Shi Sheng and reached out to grab her wrist. "Let's go. I'll bring you to a place where no one will find out."
"I …"
Shi Yu pulled her and ran in a direction. She winked playfully at her. "I don't have much time to come back. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance."
