"You almost turned me into an idiot by brainwashing me back then, what? You still won't let me go?" Ling Xiao sipped his tea and smiled.

The tea was cold and didn't taste good. I only took a small sip before putting it back. I don't know how the person surnamed He managed to drink it.

"It's better if you're a little silly, as long as you're obedient."

Upon hearing what the man surnamed He said, Ling Xiao fell silent, a rare occurrence. He asked, almost trembling, "Is it because I'm alive that you won't let me go? What is it about me that you're so eager to investigate?"

He trembled for only a moment, then his breathing gradually returned to normal as he continued, "If you don't like me, kill me if you dare."

"Silly child, how could Uncle He bear to kill you? You'll be fine after a nap, and then we'll go back." The man surnamed He picked up the teacup again and even blew on it, as if the water inside was very hot.

Ling Xiao chuckled, then spat the tea back into the cup and said, "You didn't think I drank it, did you?"

The man surnamed He showed no surprise, but was full of admiration: "Xiaoxiao has really grown up, and her guard is truly top-notch."

"Thanks to you." Ling Xiao stood up, poured all the water from his teacup onto the ground, threw the teacup on the table, and turned to leave without looking back.

“Perhaps I really need to talk to Mr. Xie.” A voice surnamed He came from behind him. Ling Xiao clenched his fist and then let go before saying, “Whatever.”

Then the person surnamed He actually invited them in. The person standing outside the door was Ling Xiao, and the person surnamed He and Jieyuhua were inside.

"Sit down." The man surnamed He told Xie Yuhua to sit down without any politeness, as if he were the host.

“Xiaoxiao seems to care about you a lot. He was reluctant when I told him to come in. He was upset, but he was afraid I would think he really cared about you, so he changed his mind. Your appearance was an accident,” the man surnamed He said frankly.

"I don't understand what you're trying to say. We're partners, isn't it his duty to protect me?" Xie Yuhua smiled as she fiddled with the hand-held object in her hand.

"If he has a weakness, then it's not a perfect work."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuhua immediately grabbed Xinghe by the neck and said, "I don't know what disgusting ideas you all have for the child. If we didn't know, we would let it go. But now that you've brought it out into the open, I, Xie Yuhua, will say it here today: if my child suffers even the slightest loss, I will make you pay a hundredfold."

I don't care what kind of evil or crooked methods you used to get here, but if you harm him, even in the underworld, I will fight you to the death.

"Cough cough! You can strangle me, strangle me and Ling Xiao won't let you go. He's already lost one father, do you want him to lose another? Don't you know? I am Ling Xiao's biological father. He's not surnamed Shen, he's surnamed He, He Ling Xiao, he is my biological son, He Jun." He Jun grabbed Xie Yuhua's wrist, and he couldn't break free, so he could only cough desperately.

"Go ahead and tell this nonsense to the King of Hell. I'm sure he'll be happy to believe it." Xie Yuhua tightened his grip even more. He didn't want the child to know about this, whether it was true or not. He didn't know if the person had gone mad and tried to tell the child, but he needed to help the child deal with the person first.

Even if it's true, this Crane King cannot be allowed to live. What right does a father who watched his child crawl in the swamp for twenty years, a father who gave away his own child and raised him as an art piece, have to be called a father?
