There’s a saying that when someone encounters difficulties, the first person they think of for help, without any consideration of benefits, is the one they trust most deep in their heart.

Chen Biyue never expected that when facing troubles, the person he wanted to find was not his biological father, not his good buddies, but that woman he’d only been with for just over ten days.

This really is a very peculiar feeling. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

But Chen Biyue ultimately just shook his head.

He wanted to trust her, but who knows if he truly can trust her?

Since he couldn’t return directly to his body, staying here any longer was meaningless.

Chen Biyue, after investigating the room where his body was found no issues, immediately turned into a black mist and left the room.

He didn’t leave directly but wandered around the whole Chen Family instead.

With his head spinning for such a long time, he had no idea how the Chen Family was now.

As soon as he came out, Chen Biyue saw his father.

Wearing a dark red Tang suit and leaning on a solid wood cane, the spirited Old Master Chen was talking politely with an elder whose face was calm and carefree.

Listening to the names his father addressed, Chen Biyue knew in his heart that this was probably another person from the Mystic Sect.

This Mystic sect person, although wearing an indifferent expression, did not hide the arrogance in their eyes.

Chen Biyue gave him one look and lost interest in that person.

In his view, even he could crush five of these Mystic sect people who pretended to be sage-like.

Most likely another charlatan posing as a god and fishing for fame.

His father’s meaning seemed to be that many efforts were made to invite this "Master" over, hoping he could awaken his eldest son.

Chen Biyue had no hope for this matter but felt sorry for his father — evidently, Old Master Chen had not given up on his son.

He watched as the master indifferently entered his room, saw him, and immediately showed a suspicious face, then became shocked, until finally his expression turned very unsightly.

This look... not only Chen Biyue, but naturally, Old Master Chen could also see that he was powerless.

Eventually, the esteemed master only ambiguously spoke a lot of sophisticated nonsense that ordinary people wouldn’t understand, took the generous compensation from the Chen Family, and left.

Chen Biyue quietly watched his father silently shut himself in the study.

He didn’t follow along; perhaps his father, such a man, wouldn’t want anyone to see him in vulnerability either?

Continuing to wander around the house again, Chen Biyue suddenly heard words that chilled his gaze while passing by a certain room.

This was his sister Chen Qiqi’s room.

Chen Qiqi was talking to someone at the time.

The black mist ignored the closed door and went straight through.

Chen Qiqi was sitting on the bed in the room, holding a phone in one hand and absentmindedly tugging at the bedsheet with the other.

"...Yes, today the old man found someone again, but it seems useless." She spoke with great delight.

The other party said something unknown, but Chen Biyue could roughly guess it was self-satisfied words.

Because he soon heard Chen Qiqi say: "Yes, yes, dear, you’re really amazing... Not only is your sorcery incredible but on the bed... even more incredible..."

Chen Biyue listened expressionlessly, knowing that his own sister was the person who harmed him, yet he felt a bizarre calm in his heart.

It even seemed like an "as expected" feeling.
