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

Chapter 978

"Yes, the family tree acknowledges it and recognizes her as Xiao Si's child." Old Master Shi nodded, then withdrew his hand and used his spiritual energy to write Shi Ruan's name on the family tree from a distance.

After the genealogy book was closed and returned to the bookshelf, the lights in the hall were turned back on.

"Alright, now we can get to know each other properly!"

Grandpa Shi smiled and pinched Shi Ruan's cheek, then pushed Shi Ruan to the others.

Shi Wenfu stepped forward first and embraced Shi Ruan in his arms.

"Ruan Ruan, you can call me Dad now."

Shi Wenfu was both surprised and nervous about this daughter.

"father!"

Shi Ruan exclaimed happily, wrapping her arms around Shi Wenfu's neck, her voice suddenly becoming aggrieved, "I'm no longer a wild child without a father, am I?"

This crying really scared the men in the Shi family.

While the group was chatting, Old Master Shi looked at Wang Qinghuan with a serious expression and reached out to her, "Let me see what someone has put on you."

Wang Qinghuan was taken aback and immediately placed her hand in Old Master Shi's palm.

With the help of Grandpa Shi, An Jiuxi gathered spiritual energy in her palm and struck Wang Qinghuan on the back.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed into Wang Qinghuan's body, causing her face to turn pale.

Grandpa Shi suddenly opened his closed eyes, "Found it."

As he raised his other hand and quickly drew a talisman, Wang Qinghuan also suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!

And there was a small, moving insect in the black blood.

The small insect, resembling a caterpillar, sprang up and tried to burrow back into Wang Qinghuan's body as soon as it realized it had detached from her body.

An Jiuxi flicked her wrist, and something resembling an electric mosquito swatter appeared in her hand, which she used to block Wang Qinghuan's path.

"Clatter clatter!"

A sound came from the clapper, and then the little insect fell to the ground.

It turned into dust.

"It's a kind of Gu worm. You need to eat it early on, and then add some of its nutrients to your food every day. These nutrients are Yin Qi beads. Fortunately, the worm hasn't fully grown yet, otherwise it would be impossible to find you."

Wang Qinghuan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment as she listened to Old Master Shi's explanation.

"So the reason Shi Wenfu couldn't find me was because of this bug? And someone else fed me this bug?"

"What was that person's motive for feeding me insects?"

She didn't understand, was it just to make Shi Wenfu unable to find her?

An Jiuxi didn't understand either, and frowned as she pondered and speculated.

Just as she was about to say something, Wang Qinghuan's phone, which was on the table, rang.

Shi Ruan was the first to run over, looked at Wang Qinghuan with concern, and after confirming that her mother was alright, she answered the phone directly, accidentally pressing the speakerphone button.

"Auntie Nuannuan!"

"Ruan Ruan, why isn't your mother home? I've brought you some food."

As soon as the words "delivering food" came out, Wang Qinghuan suddenly realized something, and a bold idea popped into her mind.

"We're not home. Mom brought Ruan Ruan to find Dad. Aunt Nuan Nuan, my dad is..."

Before Shi Ruan could finish speaking, a woman's scream came from the other end of the phone, "What! Your mother went to find Shi Wenfu! You, you saw her?"

The tone of his words suggested that he really didn't want Wang Qinghuan to see Shi Wenfu.

Thinking of the bug from earlier, and then of her best friend Xu Nuannuan bringing her food ever since she became pregnant with Ruan Ruan, she remembered that Xu Nuannuan had been the only one bringing her food.

"Xu Nuannuan, why are you so surprised? Isn't it a good thing that Ruan Ruan found her father?"
