The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 296: Incident at Shennong Gate 2

Li Fan's sudden appearance was like a rainstorm, breaking the tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.

She was wearing a simple plain dress, her steps were light but steady, and her eyes revealed an indescribable calmness and tenacity.

Zhou Hui's mood suddenly became complicated and indescribable. He turned his head and watched Li Fan walk into the hall. His eyes did not show any fluctuations, but his heart was in turmoil.

Li Fan was his childhood sweetheart. For her, he was willing to risk his life and sneak into Prince Ruyang's Palace just for the dragon elk antler that could save her life.

However, all this has long become a distant past, and now, there is a deep hatred and blood between them.

"Fan'er is back?" The tone of Li Laoguai's voice did not sound like that of a father, but more of a cold test.

"Why didn't you tell my father in advance?" He sighed softly, but the smile on his face became more cunning. "Look, I, as a father, didn't prepare anything when my daughter came back home?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Zhou Hui's eyes.

Disgusting, really disgusting.

"Lao Qin...where is your husband? Why didn't he come back with you?" There was a hint of amusement in his tone, and he deliberately emphasized the two words "Lao Qin".

Qi Wenwen was enjoying the show as she watched from the side, with a playful smile on her face, as if she was enjoying this seemingly unsolvable farce.

Her eyes swept over Li Fan from time to time, then turned to Zhou Hui, her eyes filled with endless excitement and anticipation.

"Fan'er, how does it feel on your wedding night?" There was a hint of malicious teasing in his words.

Li Fan glanced at Qi Wenwen and did not respond coldly.

Zhou Hui exerted a little force on the hand holding the dagger, and blood dripped from Li Laoguai's neck.

Perhaps because his daughter was in front of him, Li Laoguai's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious and cold face.

"Hui'er, don't push your luck."

Zhou Hui sneered: "Pushing the issue further? Li Shenmian, don't you think that you are the one who is really pushing the issue further?"

Li Laoguai's expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me, you are really getting bolder and bolder."

"Bold?" Zhou Hui repeated softly, with disdain in his voice, "Li Shenmian, who is so bold? Do you think you can cover up everything and really hide it from everyone forever?"

"What's hidden in the secret compartment behind the bookshelf in the study?"

"Nonsense!" Old Monster Li roared and turned around suddenly, trying to regain control.

However, Zhou Hui had already anticipated this scene. He stepped to the side and dodged quickly like a ghost, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.

He did not retreat, but stepped forward and smiled coldly: "You finally couldn't help it?"

Old Monster Li roared angrily, and his hands moved as fast as lightning to grab Zhou Hui's dagger.

Zhou Hui leaned back suddenly and accurately avoided Li Laoguai's attack. He took the opportunity to swing his knife fiercely. The dagger passed through Li Laoguai's wrist, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

"Dare to hurt me?" Old Monster Li was extremely angry and swept his palm towards Zhou Hui.

Although Zhou Hui tried his best to avoid it, he was still hit on the chest by that palm. He was knocked backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Qi Wenwen raised her eyebrows slightly, but there was still a playful smile on her lips.

"Is this all you have got?"

Li Laoguai's eyes became colder and colder. "You ungrateful thing, today, I will personally send you to reunite with your parents!"

Before he finished speaking, he pounced on Zhou Hui and locked Zhou Hui's wrists tightly with his hands like iron clamps.

Zhou Hui slightly turned sideways, endured the pain and shook his body hard, using the force to leap, avoiding Li Laoguai's attack, and at the same time kicked him in the chest.

Old Monster Li staggered back, his expression becoming increasingly uglier.

The Shennong Sect disciples around also began to discuss in low voices.

"What is hidden in the secret compartment? Why is the master reacting so violently?"

"That study is a forbidden area. How did Zhou Hui sneak in?"

The atmosphere gradually became depressing, and the Shennong Sect disciples began to show doubt and hesitation in their eyes.

"Who is the imperial power behind Master?" A voice sounded quietly, full of confusion and puzzlement.

Old Monster Li glanced at the disciples around him with a gloomy face, as if warning them not to ask any more questions.

"The antidote for King Ruyang is hidden in the secret compartment." Li Fan said in a cold voice, pointing at Old Monster Li.

"And you are the culprit for Prince Ruyang's madness."

Her words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the hall.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Li Fan, with shock and confusion mixed together, as if the truth of everything was suddenly revealed, but Old Monster Li still forced himself to remain calm, his face as pale as a corpse.

His lips trembled slightly, and he bit his back teeth tightly.

As early as a few days ago when he received the secret letter from the emperor, Old Monster Li had a bad feeling.

The emperor said that the prince had become insane, and his symptoms were almost the same as those of Luo Mian back then.

But how is this possible?

The poison he made for King Ruyang was a banned drug in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. After the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was destroyed, no one else in the world could make it.

What made Li Laoguai even more confused was how Li Fan knew that?

Almost all the disciples of Shennong Sect heard what Li Fan said. Looking at the old monster Li who was whispering more and more loudly, there was a fierce look in their eyes.

He knew that if he wanted to continue to protect himself, everyone present today would die.

This is not just his own business, the emperor is also involved behind him.

Then, Old Monster Li looked at the two elders at the door. They were dressed in black and had resolute faces, as if they already knew Old Monster Li's intention.

Seeing that look from Old Monster Li, the two exchanged glances tacitly, turned around quietly, and the huge door at the entrance was closed with a "bang", and the heavy wooden door was locked tightly.

The atmosphere around them instantly became oppressive and dead silent, with an extremely dangerous aura filling the air.

"Everyone will die." said Old Monster Li in a low voice.

Just when everyone was in a panic.

A black shadow broke in through the window, and window fragments flew in the wind and scattered all over the ground.

"Master, please forgive me for coming back late."

The man who came was Li Laoguai's close subordinate. He was sent out to do something yesterday and just came back.

This time, Zhou Hui seemed to be in a dead end again, just like his parents were back then.
