what to do?
If he doesn't hand over Jing'er's eyes, Wen Zizhen will definitely kill his entire family.
But if I agree to Wen Zizhen...
When Yuan Zhiping thought about his daughter's beautiful eyes that were about to turn into two bloody holes, his heart ached.
He knew clearly in his heart that he actually had only one way to go from the beginning to the end.
But the clearer he understood, the more hatred he felt in his heart!
He hated Wen Zizhen, and hated himself even more.
I hate myself for being so useless and unable to protect my only daughter.
"Master Yuan, how long are you going to consider this?"
The black-clothed man's voice was as cold and piercing as a venomous snake. "After today, your Yuan family will be filled with corpses. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Yuan Zhiping trembled all over, and suddenly clenched his fists. Then he became dejected, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I, I answer..."
"Master Yuan, wait a minute!"
A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, interrupting his answer.
Yuan Zhiping was stunned for a moment, then recognized Xiang Sheng's voice, and then heard the other party's voice transmission:
"This situation may not be hopeless. If the Patriarch trusts me, how about giving it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhiping quickly responded through voice transmission, "Believe! Fellow Daoist Li, I naturally believe you!"
He had been forced into a desperate situation. Not to mention that the person who sent the message at this moment was Fellow Daoist Li, who had repeatedly saved the Yuan family, even if it was a stranger who made the suggestion, he would not hesitate to grab the last straw and give it a try.
"Well, if you say so..."
Yuan Zhiping tensed up and listened carefully to Xiang Sheng's instructions.
The man in black looked even more impatient when he saw that he was stuck in the middle of his speech.
"Master Yuan, what on earth are you..."
"Wenshuichang!"
Yuan Zhiping suddenly interrupted, asking in a cold voice, "There's something I've been wondering about. If you can explain it, I'll give you the answer right away."
The man in black, Wen Shuichang, the head of the Wen family, was stunned when he saw Yuan Zhiping change his attitude.
He looked at the other person's eyes that suddenly became firm, and felt something was wrong in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface. He still said expressionlessly: "What do you want to ask?"
"I want to know why the city lord wants my daughter's eyes."
Hearing Yuan Zhiping's question, Wen Shuichang sneered, "You dare to ask about the city lord's affairs? I don't think you can survive..."
"Wen Shuichang, those are my daughter's eyes!"
Yuan Zhiping interrupted Wen Shuichang again, his tone even colder than the latter, "You don't want to answer? Or do you not know? Then how about I guess?
My Yuan family's ancestors were demons, and my daughter's eyes are a throwback to our ancestors, which can be used to practice pupil techniques.
I guess the city lord wants to use my daughter's eyes to find something?
You guys are pushing me so hard, your purpose is obvious, are you trying to get to the tomb of Emperor Tianlong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Shuichang's face changed instantly.
When Yuan Zhiping saw his reaction, he knew that he was right.
Fellow Daoist Li guessed it right!
The Yuan family is saved!
The surprise of escaping a desperate situation made his eyes red, but he also knew that now was not the time to be happy.
He calmed down and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Master Wen, there is one thing you don't know yet.
My daughter is very talented and has been blessed by the ancestors. She has recently awakened her bloodline supernatural powers.
These eyes are connected to my daughter's bloodline. If they were dug out, they would be completely useless and no one would be able to use them for cultivation!"
"What? Supernatural powers?!"
Wen Shuichang was shocked and at a loss for a moment.
He didn't know what Wen Zizhen wanted the eyes of the Yuan family's daughter for, but the orders he had recently received from the City Lord's Mansion were all related to the tomb of Emperor Tianlong.
If the truth is really as Yuan Zhiping said, digging out these eyes will only bring bad things.
By then, if Wen Zi really gets angry, he might vent his anger on him.
When he thought of this, Wen Shuichang could no longer sit still and got up and left without saying a word.
After the man left, Yuan Zhiping's tense mood relaxed, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled.
When Xiang Sheng stepped over the threshold, she saw Yuan Zhiping with tears streaming down his face. She smiled and stepped back.
After a cup of tea, a sound was heard from inside the house.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please come in and talk."
Xiang Sheng stopped tempering his body, turned around and walked into the front hall.
Yuan Zhiping's complexion had returned to normal. Seeing Xiang Sheng coming in, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Daoist."
"No problem."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "I had a rough idea of this matter before I went into seclusion.
The head of the family has to bear the risk of his entire family being overthrown alone. His heart is tense and relaxed at the same time, and it is inevitable that his emotions will be agitated. This is just human nature.
"It's also because I, as the head of the family, am incompetent."
Yuan Zhiping sighed, "If it weren't for the timely transmission of the message from fellow Daoist, I'm afraid I would..."
Having said this, Yuan Zhiping paused and did not continue. He sighed again:
"Fellow Daoist Li is very insightful and saw the crux of the matter at a glance. However, our trickery was just a delaying tactic.
I am stupid and ignorant, how should I deal with this next? Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
