âEnough with the thanks,â Si Fuqing said lazily, snapping her fingers. âSave it for later when I might actually accept it.â
âSo, what do we do now?â Xu Xiyun scratched his head. âTeacher Si, this is the LI family weâre dealing with. We canât afford to provoke themâ¦â
Si Fuqing set her glass down, her expression calm. âWe wait.â
Wait?
Hearing the word, Xu Xiyun rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
He was very curious about who else might show up.
Agatha Field had already been invited.
Could Yun Lan be next?
He was beyond excited.

Meanwhile, at Sijiu City International Airport.
LI Yuzhi and JI Xingzhi disembarked from the plane.
It wasnât until they were in their car that LI Yuzhi finally relaxed.
âYoung Master, we owe you a great deal this time,â LI Yuzhi expressed his gratitude. âWithout you, I wouldâve lost my life in the Kalanri Dukedom.â
The journey to Kalanri had been relatively smooth, but on their way back with the information, they encountered several firefights, and he had narrowly escaped death.
âSometimes, people can be more terrifying than ghosts,â JI Xingzhi remarked, chewing on a piece of grass. âAt least ghosts harm people out of unresolved grudges.â
LI Yuzhi agreed wholeheartedly and thanked him again. âI still donât know your esteemed name, Young Master?â
JI Xingzhi waved his hand dismissively. âNo need for formalities, Iâm from Great Xia.â
LI Yuzhi was taken aback.
What a phrase, âNo need for formalities, Iâm from Great Xia.â
Even though JI Xingzhi hadnât said much, LI Yuzhi had already guessed a lot.
After all, he had witnessed JI Xingzhi summon a few wandering spirits in the Kalanri Dukedom with a mere gesture.
Using extraordinary methods, JI Xingzhi made these spirits recount events from twenty years ago.
Every few miles, JI Xingzhi summoned another wandering spirit, piecing together the entire story.
Given such abilities and his origin from Great Xia, there was only one possible family.
The Master of Yin-Yang family, the JIs.
LI Yuzhi had always been certain that the childâs disappearance was the work of someone from the LI family.
After all, even twenty years ago, no outsider could have entered the LI family estate, let alone stolen a child.
However, he had never had proof and could only investigate in secret.
His apparent decadence was merely a façade to mislead other members of the LI family.
Without genuine skills, even with Old Master LIâs protection, he would have died countless times in the treacherous LI family.
Now that the child had been found, he could finally rest easy.
When LI Yuzhi opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp and determined.
This time, he would never let the LI family harm his son again!

Back at Su Yangâs studio.
In just a few minutes, Su Yang had mastered the new song completely.
Xu Xiyun was still worried. âTeacher Si, I fear the LI family might still target Brother Su. What do they want?â
Only Si Fuqing knew about the relationship between Bai Jinxi and Su Yang.
âNo worries,â Si Fuqing said. âFirst, we need a paternity test to deal with the main culprit.â
Su Yang was taken aback by this.
Xu Xiyun and the others hadnât understood yet. âWhat paternity test?â
âSome relationships need to be confirmed with science,â Si Fuqing shrugged. âWe canât exactly capture a ghost and make it tell you that youâre father and son.â
Xu Xiyun felt helpless. ââ¦Teacher Si, please donât make it sound so mystical. My IQ canât handle it.â
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. âWhy do you need IQ? Luck will suffice.â
Xu Xiyun was speechless.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, urgent and insistent.
âAh, theyâre here,â Si Fuqing said, standing up. âIâll get the door.â
