Shi's actions
"Yes! That's it. Why don't you take it and read it yourself." Teacher Li smiled, and then handed the newspaper to Yunfang.
Yunfang took it over, read the news carefully, and gradually revealed a comfortable smile on her face, as if a big stone had been put down in her heart.
Because, she learned from Yun Lian that there seemed to be some mysterious people with evil skills who were involved in the child abduction case a few days ago.
Therefore, there was always a hidden worry in her heart, restless, afraid that those mysterious cultists would suddenly appear and snatch her daughter away again.
However, after seeing today's news, she was completely relieved.
The cult that abducted children has been completely destroyed, and even the leader of the cult has been killed. Naturally, her daughter Yun Lian will no longer be in danger of being snatched away.
Yun Fang also had some doubts in her heart. According to Yun Lian's narration, those cult members should be very powerful, but they were easily destroyed by the police. This is really unimaginable.
In addition, the police did not seem to say how many police officers were injured in this operation.
Relying on a woman's keen intuition, Yun Fang believed that the inside story might not be as simple as what was reported in the newspapers. If the police did not have the help of people from the cultivation world, it would be difficult for the police to succeed in one fell swoop.
Of course, this was just Yunfang's personal guess, she never connected Zhao Rui with this matter.
However, no matter what the inside story is, Yun Fang feels that it has nothing to do with her, as long as Yun Lian is safe, that is enough.
Yunfang gently stroked the drooping hair behind her ears, revealing a short section of her fair neck and crystal-like ears, then handed the newspaper back to Teacher Li, and smiled at him with flowing eyes: "Thank you for the paper, it is indeed very interesting news."
Teacher Li was shocked by her unintentional "color", and was stunned for a while. It was not until Zhao Rui patted his shoulder to remind him that he came back to his senses and realized his gaffe , couldn't help coughing dryly, quickly took the newspaper, then sighed softly at Zhao Rui, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are really blessed!"
Zhao Rui looked at Yunfang's beautiful and mature face, and had to admit that Teacher Li was right.
The days that followed were relatively peaceful.
After Zhao Rui got off work every day, he would hurry up to practice "Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art".
Although the current progress of cultivation is much slower than before.
However, as long as he perseveres, he will one day be able to break through the early interest-bearing period and enter the middle interest-bearing period.
In addition, when he was resting, he would sometimes take out the mysterious magic box and look for a way to open it carefully while enjoying it.
Although the magic box was so hard that even the Bloodthirsty Demon Knife couldn't break it into pieces, since it could be cast, it could definitely be opened.
Zhao Rui was somewhat looking forward to what kind of monsters the items stored in this magic box would be.
Shanghai, Hunan Road, in a foreign-style house built during the Republic of China.
Shi Yongcheng sat on the mahogany chair in the study, holding a thread-bound "Diamond Sutra", and slowly read it.
A touch of sandalwood rises from the bronze incense burner of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, permeating the entire space.
The cold winter has come, the outdoor temperature is already very low, but the indoor is as warm as spring, even the Longjing lamp that has been placed on the desk for a long time is still steaming.
It was very quiet in the study, as quiet as if even a needle fell on the ground, it could be heard clearly.
Shi Yongcheng quietly read the words on the book like this, slowly turning over the pages he had read, as if intoxicated by the fragrance of books.
Suddenly, without warning, he slammed the "Diamond Sutra" in his hand onto the table.
The sound of impact was particularly abrupt and loud in this quiet study room.
Shi Yongcheng's originally seemingly calm face now showed an irritable expression.
He is extremely depressed now, even the "Diamond Sutra" cannot calm him down.
In fact, Shi Yongcheng's boredom is no longer a day or two.
Ever since the mission to assassinate Yunfang's mother and daughter failed again and again, the boredom in his heart has increased day by day.
He really didn't understand, who was protecting Yun Fang and Yun Lian secretly, and killed the assassins he sent one by one!
Shi Yongcheng stood up from his seat, with his hands behind his back, he walked back and forth in the study several times.
In fact, he was not only worried about Yun Fang and Yun Lian's mother and daughter. Even though the mother and daughter are direct relatives of the previous Patriarch of the Shi family, even if the orphan and widow inherit the position of Patriarch, there will be no big troubles. The real power of the family is still in his hands.
What Shi Yongcheng was really worried about was the force behind Yun Fang and Yun Lian—the Dongan Yun family.
Although the Yun family is just an ancient martial arts family, it cannot be compared with the well-known Shi family in the cultivation world.
However, Dong'an Yun's family has a rich family history, and they also have many friends in the cultivation world.
If Yun Lian really ascended to the position of Patriarch of the Shi family, and the Yun family fully supports him, then sooner or later, Yun Lian will take away the privileges in his hands, and his status and power in the family, will also be marginalized!
In fact, he has always suspected that the mysterious person who secretly protects Yunfang and Yunlian was probably invited by Yunxiong. After all, he is Yunfang's father and Yunlian's grandfather, so he has enough reasons to do so.
Shi Yongcheng would never allow his power to be snatched away by others so easily.
Because, this is not only related to profit, but also related to his wealth and life!
He looks like he is only in his forties, but in fact, he has already passed the age of seventy.
Although the lifespan of a cultivator is longer than that of ordinary people, if there is no further breakthrough on the road of cultivation, his life will come to an end within a hundred or two hundred years.
However, if he holds the position of Patriarch of the Shi family, then, by using the cultivation resources of the whole clan, his cultivation base may be able to continue to improve and enter the out-of-body stage!
His lifespan will be greatly extended!
With the stakes in front of him, how could he be willing to hand over the power in his hands!
"Boom boom boom"
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang, interrupting Shi Yongcheng's thoughts.
Shi Yongcheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his face, and then called out majestically: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a man who looked somewhat similar to him, but slightly younger, walked into the study, and then called out: "Brother."
"Yong Lian, why are you here? Aren't you still working abroad?"
Seeing his own younger brother, Shi Yongcheng suddenly appeared, looking a little surprised.
"My sister-in-law heard that you seem to be a little bored recently, so I ended the things over there early, and came back to see, what is it that makes you so unhappy?"
Shi Yonglian is not only Shi Yongcheng's younger brother, but also his right-hand man, so he didn't hide anything, and said fiercely: "It's not about Yunfang. That woman is like a thorn in the flesh, no matter how hard it is to pull it out." If I don’t come out, it’s going to hurt me so much.”
Shi Yonglian knew the whole thing well, so he naturally knew what the elder brother meant, so he said with a smile: "Since we can't pull out this thorn for the time being, I think we might as well meet with Yunfang and have a good talk with her. Get to know her details and figure out her plans. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. However, we don't know her at all, we don't know her intentions, and we don't know her strength, so we are a little passive!"
Shi Yongcheng was taken aback: "Shall we go to East Lake in person? That's Yunfang's territory!"
Shi Yonglian glanced at him, and then asked: "What's the matter, big brother? Are you afraid that Yunfang will harm you?"
In front of Shi Yonglian, Shi Yongcheng did not hide it, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yunfang is surrounded by a mysterious strong guard, and the several killers we sent have already fallen into the hands of that mysterious strong man. If we rush in As far as Donghu is concerned, when the time comes, Yunfang will suddenly attack us, what should we do?"
Shi Yonglian shook his head suddenly and laughed: "Brother, you are worrying too much. I think we don't have to be afraid of that strong man who has never 'shown' his face."
"Oh? Why?" Shi Yongcheng hurriedly asked.
"It's very simple. We have sent so many killers to the East Lake to assassinate Yunfang. The mysterious strong man who guards Yunfang's mother and daughter must have known that we are the mastermind behind them. If so, then the strong man is really strong To the point where he has no scruples, he came to Shanghai a long time ago and killed us, so why stay by Yunfang's side and protect secretly. How passive is that? I guess, the strength of that mysterious strongman is just as strong as ours They are at the same level, at most they are one line above us. However, compared with the three patriarchs of our Shi family, they are definitely not as good. We just go to East Lake, as long as the three patriarchs in the family are there, we will not any risk."
Shi Yongcheng still hesitated: "The three patriarchs did not clearly express their support for me to become the Patriarch of the Shi family!"
Shi Yonglian smiled slightly: "However, they will never sit back and watch a high-ranking family like you, there is any risk!"
Shi Yongcheng's doubts were completely dispelled at this time, he waved his hand, and said: "Okay, we will leave for East Lake tomorrow!"
