Mother quickly had the butler take Shen Mengyi upstairs to rest.
Then she called the family doctor to tend to Dad's wound.
After the family doctor left, I took out a Lingdan and handed it to Dad.
Dad, confused, swallowed it down.
Then, as if he sensed something, he unwrapped the bandage from his injured hand.
To our astonishment, the wound on his palm healed at a visibly rapid pace, until it looked as if he had never been injured at all.
My parents and brother stared in disbelief.
While the previous Lingdan could be dismissed as a placebo effect, this was beyond any rational explanation.
I had thought they would at least ask me what was happening, but to my surprise, they seemed to ignore the issue entirely, tacitly protecting my secret.
Instead, Dad asked me, "Ning Ning, how do you plan to handle this situation with Mengyi?" His gaze was heavy with concern.
Mother sighed, "That child Mengyi has grown up under my watch. Although she has a domineering personality, she's not a bad person. I never expected her to... Ning Ning, you don't need to feel burdened by this. It was her mistake, and whatever you decide to do, we will support you."
Meeting their three pairs of determined eyes, I felt a surge of emotion in my heart.
"This matter is not Shen Mengyi's fault; it's Chen Jiaxing's."
After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Have you all read any cultivation novels?"
Upon learning that they were somewhat familiar with the genre, I spoke plainly:
"Chen Jiaxing is a Demonic Cultivator. He intends to turn Shen Mengyi into a Demonic Cultivator as well. Although I don't know his purpose for doing this, we cannot allow Shen Mengyi to have any more contact with Chen Jiaxing."
When I decided to share this information with them, I imagined they might be shocked or skeptical.
But to my surprise, they accepted it faster than I anticipated.
"I knew that Mengyi wasn't inherently bad," they sighed in relief simultaneously.
Then, they turned to me and said, "No wonder Ning Ning is so powerful; it turns out he's a Cultivator and is going to Ascend to Immortality in the future!"
Their trust made me smile slightly. "Thank you for your kind words."
"Is Mengyi going to be okay?" The parents and brother, who had just relaxed, began to worry again.
I wasn't sure about that either.
"Let's go check on Shen Mengyi first."
We made our way to Shen Mengyi's room.
Considering she was still asleep, we didn't knock but simply pushed the door open.
However, the room was empty.
The air still carried the Demonic Aura that belonged to Chen Jiaxing.
My expression darkened. "Chen Jiaxing has taken Shen Mengyi!"
"I'll call the police right away."
My father immediately took out his phone to report it and also contacted the Chen Family.
The police stated that the disappearance had occurred too recently to file a case.
The Chen Family claimed that Chen Jiaxing had left not long ago and was currently unreachable.
Something was clearly amiss.
I furrowed my brow in thought. Chen Jiaxing could have played the long game, but taking Shen Mengyi at this moment must have some purpose behind it.
Just then, my phone screen lit up.
It was a message from Shen Mengyi.
"Shen Chun Ning, I'm with Brother Jiaxing right now! If you have the guts, come over and see who he chooses between us."
It included a location tag.
I immediately decided to go.
"You all wait for me at home. I promise to bring Shen Mengyi back safely."
As I prepared to leave, they disagreed.
"Ning Ning, you are also a child of the Parents. We can't let you go alone."
Unable to persuade them otherwise, I had no choice but to go with them.
This place was an abandoned warehouse.
From a distance, I sensed a strong Demonic Aura enveloping the warehouse.
As we approached, the Parents and my brother were blocked by a barrier formed by the Demonic Aura.
Only I could enter.
"You all wait here for me."
At this moment, even if they disagreed, it wouldn't matter.
After giving them my instructions, I strode inside.
Once inside, I saw Shen Mengyi and Chen Jiaxing.
They saw me too.
Shen Mengyi's eyes widened in shock. "Shen Chun Ning, what are you doing here? Brother Jiaxing is mine, get lost!"
I frowned. "What will you do if I leave?"
At my words, tears suddenly filled Shen Mengyi's eyes.
"What do you mean, what will I do? If you leave, I'll naturally be happily together with Brother Jiaxing."
"Stop pretending. You're under his control and can't move."
I directly exposed Shen Mengyi's lie.
She was tightly bound by the ropes twisted from Black Magic Energy.
Shen Mengyi cried out, "So what? I don't want you, you worthless woman, to save me! Just go away!"
Seeing that I had seen through her, Chen Jiaxing no longer bothered to pretend and slapped Shen Mengyi hard.
His strike was powerful, and her face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.
Yet she still struggled to call out to me, "Shen Chun Ning, just go! If you don't leave now, you'll die!"
