The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

!!!

Yup!

Xie Yixiu and Du Wu slammed the table and reacted belatedly.

Why didn't they think of that?

The more Shi Yong listened, the more excited he became. Like a wild beast full of energy, he nodded frequently.

"Yes, that makes sense. Then what? Go on."

Shi Rong smiled maliciously.

“Since he has the antidote that can dissolve the devouring fog.

Why should we go far away and sacrifice our lives for the sake of justice?

Wouldn't it be better to just go behind his back and steal something?

Let him also have a taste of the feeling of losing both his wife and his army."

Shi Yong couldn't help but give Shi Rong a thumbs up of praise.

"Oh my~ You are indeed my clever and good daughter, so smart!

So now, the crucial question is, who is this person?"

When Shi Rong heard this, he immediately closed his open mouth at a speed visible to the naked eye, lowered his raised hands, and put away his smug smile.

"I…didn't say anything."

Seeing that the other two men also had the same secretive reaction as her.

Shi Yong sat there, rolling his eyes in a very speechless manner.

"I say, the three of you, you have come to this point.

It is obvious that he knows the ins and outs of the recent strange phenomena happening to the Huo family.

Is it too late to change your words now?"

Looking back, Shi Yongzhuan glanced at the door of Shi Rong's bedroom.

"Before coming in, I sent a message asking your three uncles to help hold Mr. Huo and Yang'er back.

There are some things I know they are not comfortable hearing.

So before everyone comes back, you'd better tell me what you want to say. I don't want my daughter to hide anything from me.

Yong'er, you know that the reason why your father has been practicing Taoist techniques for many years is mostly to help you solve your problems.

But if you keep it a secret, how can I start?"

It was not until this moment that the little woman finally understood.

Every deliberate act of flattery that Shi Yong had just done was clearly intended to extract information from her.

"Dad, you are the most cunning.

I'm 23 years old now. Why are you still using the same tactics you used against me when I was 11?

First, they praise people to the skies, then they take advantage of their unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack. I almost fell for it..."

Shi Yong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Then I didn't attack either. Didn't you say it was almost there?"

Shi Rong curled her lips in dissatisfaction, knowing that she couldn't win against him.

He had no choice but to ask the eloquent Xie Yixiu to tell Shi Yong the conversation between the three of them on Shi Yang's birthday, word for word.

After hearing this, the man frowned and remained silent for a long time.

After holding it in for a long time, he blurted out:

"This is truly a formidable foe that hasn't appeared in a century! Isn't he too mean?"

When Shi Rong heard this, he was speechless.

"Dad, this is how you feel after hearing this?

Could you please tell me more specific details about the Nightmare Beast?"

Shi Yong was brought back to his senses by the little woman's dissatisfied shouting, and glared at her unhappily.

"Do you really think your father is omnipotent? Can't you give me some time to investigate thoroughly?

I have never followed my master to fight against the Nightmare Beast before. Isn’t this the first time for everyone to encounter it?

If you really have that ability, why am I still sitting here? Why don't I take you to heaven?

What's more, the topics related to the Nightmare Beast that I currently know are the same as what Yi Xiu told you.

Do I have to repeat it to you?"

that's true…

Shi Rong felt guilty for a moment and smiled in a flattering manner.

"Yes, yes~ No hurry, no hurry, thank you for your hard work, hehehe, I'll give you a massage after it's done, every day, really..."

Shi Yong, who is an expert in Taoism and has a great experience, will personally go there and will definitely be able to reach unknown areas that the three of them cannot reach.

In this way, we can obtain more accurate information about the Nightmare Beast.

So this matter really cannot be rushed.

Shi Yong was so annoyed by Shi Rong's fawning behavior that he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, your father and I will take this matter to heart, and I will inform you as soon as there is any news.

But before that, don't act rashly.

You can go to his house and steal things, but remember not to have a direct conflict with him.

This is no joke. With our current strength, we are no match for him.

But don’t be afraid, my dear. Just like before, whenever you encountered an unsolvable problem, your dad would always be by your side.

I'll take care of everything, don't worry."

Shi Rong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart as he listened to Shi Yong's kind and intimate words.

"Yes, my daughter knows."

Shi Yong raised his hand and touched Shi Rong's head lovingly.

"Okay, don't think too much about it for now.

The key now is how we can get into Wen Ruyi's house?

Who will steal it? When will it happen?

Shi Rong thought about it.

"I already knew the exact location of Wen Ruyan's residence when I asked Brother Yi Xiu and Du Wu to conduct a follow-up investigation.

Just think of a suitable way to get him away and prevent him from coming back for a while.

As for stealing the antidote, I plan to take Du Wu with me. After all, we are the two who are most adept at using magic among all the people.

It will be enough for Brother Yi Xiu to be in charge of keeping watch.

As for the timing, I think tomorrow night would be the most suitable time to act."

"what?"

After listening to the first half of Shi Rong's speech, Shi Yong was about to say it was good, but he was stunned by her last sentence.

"Tomorrow night? But didn't you promise Grandma that you would go to Haicheng for the banquet? How would you have the time?"

Less than a minute later, Yong saw Shi Rong with a smirk on his face.

He got it.

"Oh~ If I'm not mistaken, you don't want to wait until tomorrow, after we go to Haicheng.

On the way to the banquet, find a random excuse to run away, and then let your father and I try to help you calm the others down and smooth things over, right?"

Shi Rong was easily guessed what she was thinking, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"As expected of my dad, he's much smarter than others! Hehe~"

Shi Yong was speechless again.

He picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it while complaining.

"Hehe, you little head...

I don't know how many fools I offended in my previous life to get attracted to a silly girl like you.

As the well-known richest family in Haicheng, the Yan family's status and strength are far inferior to those of the Ying and Huo families.

But compared with Chu, Xing and Song, it is much stronger than before. Maybe my statement is too superficial.

After all, I don’t know much about Chu Lu and his family’s original family background.

But if such a grand dinner were held at another aristocratic family, they would surely be vying for the spotlight.

You, on the other hand, are trying every possible way to hide away."

For some reason, Shi Yong suddenly shook his head and sighed to himself.

"As your adoptive father, someone who has watched you grow up, I am extremely grateful, but also truly ashamed.

Sometimes, I feel like I know you perfectly, yet I can't guess what you really want deep down. Besides freedom, what else is there?"
