So, his face darkened and he sternly scolded, "Xu Miao, why are you so rude? Is this how I teach you every day? This is simply outrageous."

Xu Hao, who was standing by, saw this and quickly grabbed Xu Miao's hand, saying softly, "Miao'er, stop talking nonsense and thank Master Su quickly."

When Xu Miao heard what Xu Hao said, he felt dissatisfied and was about to say a few more words.

But she also realized that her father was really angry, so she didn't dare to refute him easily. She had to raise her head and pretend to be so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Xu Mingyang looked at his daughter in front of him with a stubborn face and red eyes, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

But when he thought of what she had just said, he hardened his heart and said to her in a serious tone: "Xu Miao, apologize to Master Su immediately!"

Xu Miao was about to cry when he saw that the methods he usually used were useless, but his father didn't show any mercy or comfort to him. Instead, he asked him to apologize to that brat Su Muxi.

This time she felt really wronged and tears started to flow.

Xu Mingyang didn't expect that this time his daughter didn't behave obediently as usual after hearing his words.

On the contrary, Xu Miao's tears burst out.

But even so, she still insisted on her position and refused to admit her mistake.

"Dad, I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize to her? She's just a little kid. How can you be so partial to an outsider?"

Xu Miao became more and more excited, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Besides, I just narrowly escaped death and returned to you, and you actually got angry with me because of this and yelled at me. I hate you."

After saying these words, Xu Miao cried louder and louder, and turned and ran back to the room.

A trace of guilt appeared on Xu Hao's face. He looked at Su Muxi to apologize, then turned around and chased after Xu Miao.

Xu Mingyang looked a little embarrassed as he watched the two people running away.

He shook his head helplessly and apologized to Su Muxi: "Master Su, I'm so sorry. My daughter has been spoiled by us since she was a child. Now she has become a little willful. I hope you don't mind. When I go back, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

Su Muxi's face was calm, and she responded to Xu Mingyang calmly, "Master Xu, it's okay. This is just a trivial matter. I don't take it to heart. Besides, I don't bother to argue with her."

Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if the incident had no effect on her at all.

Xu Mingyang couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that there was indeed no dissatisfaction on her expression.

Then, he heard Su Muxi ask, "Master Xu, now that the children of your families have been found, what are your plans next?"

After a brief thought, Xu Mingyang replied, "Master Su, I plan to take the children home first and let them recuperate."

"As for other matters, we will discuss them later."

"Of course, if fighting against the Moon Worship Cult requires our support, I will definitely do my best."

"I believe the other three family heads will hold the same attitude."

"I will discuss this matter with Captain Song later. As long as we need help, I will be on standby at any time."

Su Muxi nodded, "Okay, then you go back and have a good rest. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

At this moment, the head of the Shi family slowly walked over with Shi Wei, who had just woken up.

Shi Wei's face still showed the fear and terror after escaping death. When her eyes met Su Muxi, she expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Master Su, I was ignorant and offended you before. Please don't hold it against me and forgive my rudeness."

"And we are really grateful for your help this time. You saved so many of our lives. Thank you!"

After saying that, Shi Wei respectfully bowed to Su Muxi to express her gratitude.

Seeing that Shi Wei really wanted to thank her, Su Muxi gave her a sincere smile in return.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, there's no need to be so polite. Go back and have a good rest."

Xu Mingyang looked at the backs of the Shi family patriarch and Shi Wei as they left, his heart filled with helplessness and depression.

He couldn't help but look at Shi Wei, then turned to look at his disappointing daughter. The gap between them became apparent, and he secretly lamented the huge gap between the two.

Originally, because Xu Miao had suffered such a disaster, his heart was filled with pity and love for her, and he even regretted the harsh words he had just spoken to her.

However, now, facing Shi Wei's understanding and well-behaved behavior, he couldn't help feeling a little lost and self-blame.

This time, he felt that Xu Miao deserved it. She didn't practice well on weekdays and had developed bad habits like a young lady. He secretly made up his mind that he would teach Xu Miao well after returning this time.

In the following years, Xu Miao no longer had the freedom she had before. She was watched by Xu Mingyang while she practiced at home every day. She also paid a heavy price for her willfulness today.

Of course, this is all later.

Those who woke up one after another also recounted how they were arrested.

The brother and sister Xu Hao and Xu Miao just went out to buy things that day, but they were ambushed not far from their home.

All they remembered was that a black mist enveloped them, and then they lost consciousness.

When they woke up, they found themselves in a dark cave surrounded by a foul smell.

They tried to use their skills to escape, but they felt weak and frail all over. Later, they were fed medicine by a man in black and fell into a coma.

Shi Wei had a similar experience. She went shopping with her friends and was attacked by a black mist in the bathroom and lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. It was pitch black all around her, and she could hear eerie noises in her ears.

After that, I was in a daze until now when I was completely awake.

The experiences of the two children from the Lin and Bai families and several disciples were similar to theirs.

They were all ambushed when they went out, shrouded in a black mist, and then lost consciousness.

When they woke up, they tried to escape, but were stopped by a group of men in black. These men in black exuded a powerful aura, which made them dare not resist easily.

Afterwards, they were also fed drugs and remained in a coma.

When I woke up occasionally, I only had enough energy to eat, and there was no chance of escaping.

As for the other five young girls, some were knocked unconscious and abducted on their way home from get off work.

Some of them ate out and didn’t know anything afterwards.

Others were knocked unconscious and taken away while shopping...

Anyway, we were all brought here without knowing it.
