"Dad, she's not some grand master, she's just an ordinary young girl." Wei Yao's brows furrowed tightly, clearly displeased.
Ou Zongren pursed his lips and didn't continue.
It seemed he understood that Wei Yao didn't want to drag me into trouble.
"Big Brother Chen, you go first, I'll handle Su Wan." Wei Yao said to Chen Decheng.
Chen Decheng looked a bit conflicted.
I said to Chen Decheng, "You have your wife to take care of, what will they do if something happens to you? I'll be fine here, Wei Yao and I will look out for each other." Content originally comes from N0velFire.ɴet
"Alright, I'll leave first." Chen Decheng left with a solemn face.
"Su Wan, come here a second."
Wei Yao took me to the hallway and lit a cigarette.
I couldn't stand the smell of smoke and started coughing.
He hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "Sorry, I like to smoke when I'm upset."
I was silent, waiting for Wei Yao to speak.
Wei Yao said, "You can't ask for too much money for this job, I'll give you twenty thousand, just get out of here quickly."
"I don't dare to leave, if I do, I could lose my life." I told Wei Yao the blunt truth.
Wei Yao was taken aback, "Huh?"
"I broke the Formation on the ring that was holding your Earth Soul, and the backlash injured him." I wore a helpless expression, my eyes betraying my fear, "And the one stealing your lifespan, because of me, is about to bite the dust, and I'm scared."
"Hahahaha..." Wei Yao couldn't help but laugh, ruffling my hair forcefully with his large hand.
I stepped back a few steps in irritation, "I'm doing this to help you, what's so funny?"
Damn it, he was actually laughing.
"I'm touched, silly girl." Wei Yao chuckled lightly, "So what do we do now? We're both in deep trouble."
I raised my eyebrows, licked my own fangs, "Let's join forces and take them down!"
"Yeah, take them down, Su Wan, even though you look so soft, when you get fierce, it's kind of fierce and cute." Wei Yao laughed out loud.
I glared at him furiously, fierce and cute my foot.
I was truly ferocious, harboring murderous intent, ready to fight those villains to the death.
After he had his fill of laughter, Wei Yao asked me, "What's your plan?"
"Your foster parents definitely aren't real pig farmers, we should start by looking into their background." I thought about it, feeling that relying solely on metaphysics wasn't a good approach, and we should make better use of sociology, "Then, find the right remedy for the problem, and see if we know anyone who can restrain them."
Wei Yao snapped his fingers, "Tsk, good idea. Are my foster parents really disguised as pig farmers just to extend their lives?"
"I think there's a ninety percent chance!" I didn't believe for a second that average pig farmers could kidnap a rich family's son and find someone to wear the Life-Extending Robe to replenish their lifespan.
All details about the Life-Extending Robe were torn from my father's notebook.
As a successor to Life and Death Embroidery, I wouldn't make a Life-Extending Robe.
Next, Wei Yao and I discussed with his parents.
We decided to temporarily go to Wei Yao's parents' house.
That villa was especially big, with three floors.
I casually moved into one of the guest rooms, and Wei Yao's mother, Mei Xue, temporarily lent me Wei Yao's cousin's clothes to wear.
I was sitting down, drying my hair after a shower.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Suddenly, several irritating clucking sounds came from beside me, and there was Yu Rongling, who I hadn't seen for several days, swinging over to me with a rascally face, "You've moved into some other man's house, sister-in-law. My brother's been cuckolded by you, how does he feel about that?"
I was so angry my cheeks puffed up, "That's not true at all. I'm utterly loyal to your brother! Don't spread rumors, Yu Rongling! Disappearing without a word, and coming back so annoyingly."
"Wanwan, it's a bit chilly tonight, I've found another blanket for you." Wei Yao, holding a light yet warm velvet blanket, pushed open the door to my bedroom.
