Recently acquired? If so, it could be because those branches were significantly shaded, or some other light issue that would only come out if you offered more detail. It could be from a period of over-watering, too.

I got the plant last spring. Within the last month or so, it just sent two new shoots up. The ones that are yellowing, are the older branches.

I've never kept the plant, but old leaves and branches will die off, that is normal with any plant. It is just those two short branches turning yellow, which are probably the oldest?

It has some nice new growth, and doesn't need those old stressed out (by being transported and kept in a store) branches any more.

I wouldn't worry as long as the new growth is fine. The only thing you could do is water less or more.

The new growth seems fine as of now. I'll keep an eye on it, and see what happens. Thank you for reassuring me.

Just to update you guys, the yellow leaves died off, and the rest of the plant looks fine. I guess it's normal for this plant to do that.

Mine does that every now and then if I water it too frequently. In winter I water it like every 3 months and summer monthly. Eventually the rest of the stalk where the yellow leaves were will dry up and fall off.
