After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 597

When An Jiuxi and Yun Qingyu caught up with Shi Yu and the others, they saw their third brother, who had been so sunny and cheerful just moments before.

At this moment, he looked like a wilted eggplant, with a hint of dejection in his eyes and brows.

There was a hint of helplessness in Yunping Liao's eyes.

"Third brother?"

An Jiuxi stepped forward, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Yu snapped out of his daze and subconsciously glanced in Yun Qingyu's direction.

"Xixi, I'll go with you to check in that direction."

When An Jiuxi saw Shi Yu walking over, she subconsciously looked at Yun Qingyu.

"Qingyu, I have something to say to you. You and your father are coming."

After Yun Pingliao finished speaking, he turned and left first, and seeing this, Yun Qingyu had no choice but to follow.

Once the two had walked away, An Jiuxi turned to look at Shi Yu, whose face was dejected. "Tell me, what did Uncle Yun say to you? Why do you look like that?"

Shi Yu opened his mouth, as if he had thought of something.

He shook his head again.

"Third Brother, I can tell you really like my Second Senior Sister, and I could even help you two get together, but the way you are now..."

An Jiuxi deliberately put on a troubled look and shook her head helplessly.

In reality, he was secretly observing Shi Yu's expression.

Sure enough, the person in front of her became anxious after she finished speaking.

"No, Xixi, I really like her, but you don't know, the Shi family... the Shi family..." Shi Yu hesitated whether to say it or not, and finally closed his eyes.

"Never mind, you'll find out about this sooner or later anyway, so it's fine for me to tell you now."

"It's the Shi family's secret."

Seeing the solemn expression on the man's face, An Jiuxi thought for a moment and then raised a barrier around the two of them.

This is to prevent any strange or unpleasant things from being heard!

"Third Brother, now you can speak with peace of mind."

Shi Yu found a place to sit down. "Your older brother and the others will probably keep it from you, since this matter is closely related to you. You could say that the decision rests on your shoulders."

Upon hearing this, An Jiuxi suddenly recalled Jin Yize's unusual emotions from before.

At that time... Jin Yize only became depressed after meeting with Grandpa Shi.

Could it be the same thing?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shi Yu continued, "When the Shi family was rising to prominence, they had a bad romantic encounter, but it's unclear whether it was a man or a woman. All that's known is that the wife of the Shi family's first ancestor suddenly developed demonic markings on her body after giving birth to four children and a girl."

An Jiuxi snapped out of her daze, "Magic runes?"

"Isn't that thing harmless, only good for curses? But curses usually don't work, right?"

An Jiuxi had seen this thing before in a book given to her by her master.

Usually, it's just cursing the other person for stepping in dog poop or something useless.

"Yes, at first everyone thought it was nothing and tried to get rid of it, but later... that rotten love came knocking on the door. He used a dagger refined with demonic energy to stab her and the wife of the first generation of the family patriarch in the chest. The dagger passed through both of them. That person used himself to set a curse."

At this point, Shi Yu closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with heaviness.

"I don't know what secret method that person used, but the first child of the Shi family died suddenly at the age of forty-five, and the same demonic mark appeared on his chest."

"Later, the second patriarch spent the remaining ten years researching and finally learned that the curse cast by the other party was that each generation of the Shi family would only have one daughter, and the men of the Shi family would die before the age of forty-five if they could not find a wife. However, any woman who was favored by a member of the Shi family before the age of forty-five would not have a good ending."

"Finally... the third generation found a way: the marriage line of the Shi family daughter can repair the marriage lines of other members of the Shi family. However, once the marriage line of the Shi family daughter is weak, she will not remember anyone in the Shi family and will suffer the most tragic end."

Every word Shi Yu said shocked An Jiuxi into disbelief.
