"No, this is impossible! You must be liars!"
Shi Heping shook his head repeatedly, then glared fiercely at Shi Hehuai and angrily accused him: "Xiao Wu, it's all your fault, you good-for-nothing! Look what you've done to this! You're a brainless idiot! You're being used and you're even helping others count their money!"
Shi Hehuai retorted through gritted teeth, "What right do you have to criticize me? I'm just fulfilling my father's wish!"
He didn't want things to turn out this way, but it was already beyond his control.
Shi Hehuai looked at Blind Lin and Su Tiantian with anger in his eyes.
"Whether I'm lying or not, just wait seven more minutes."
Lin the Blind glanced at his brothers and then ignored them, sitting cross-legged facing Shi Jiahu and Jiang Yu.
Su Tiantian ignored the Shi family and sat down cross-legged next to Blind Lin.
The five Shi brothers looked at each other, their expressions complicated.
They all felt a sense of crisis, though they didn't know why, but their intuition told them they couldn't continue like this.
Shi Heming looked at Shi Heyue, who was deep in thought, and said, "Big sister, we can't just watch these swindlers desecrate Dad's body and hurt Mom. We don't have the strength, you can't just stand by and watch!"
They were either too weak or too afraid.
But Shi and Yue are different; she is upright and does not believe in ghosts or evil spirits.
In previous years, they had even fought each other in private, and none of them could beat Shi and Yue alone.
The two on the other side are an old man and a child. As long as Shi and Yue make a move, they are not afraid of losing to them.
"Big brother is right, big sister. Look how uncomfortable Mom is. Her health isn't good either. She doesn't like you to begin with. If she wakes up and sees you like this, she'll dislike you even more. You need to do something to make things right..."
Shi Hehuai said excitedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Shi Heping.
"Useless trash, if you can't speak properly, shut up!"
Shi Heping no longer thought highly of Shi Hehuai. After this incident, he no longer needed to doubt that the expert behind Shi Hehuai was the blind man who performed the ritual.
Whatever the blind man wants to do, we can't let him continue.
Shi Heping looked at Shi Heyue and said, "Big sister, let's not talk about anything else. It's normal for there to be people more capable than you, and for there to be extraordinary people and events. But they are extraordinary people. Whatever happens next is their doing. Our parents have been loving and affectionate all their lives. Others may not understand us, but don't we?"
“As children, we have a responsibility and an obligation to protect them. Dad has passed away, and I believe you saw that he passed away peacefully. No matter how many faults Mom had, it is not a reason for them to treat her like this. She is almost seventy years old, and her body cannot withstand such torment. Even if there is some injustice to be tried, can't Mom be allowed to lie down?”
Shi Heping speaks with great skill, combining reason and emotion, unlike Shi Hehuai who speaks in a harsh and shrill manner.
Shi Heming chimed in, "Big sister, what the third brother said makes sense."
"Yes, eldest sister."
The other two nodded repeatedly.
Shiheyue frowned; that was indeed what she thought too.
Shi Heyue walked towards Blind Lin, her voice calm and collected: "Old Taoist Master..."
"Sister, do you want to know why your mother doesn't like you? You're her own child, so why does she hate you so much? She doesn't care about your excellence or anything about you. Do you want to know why?"
Su Tiantian looked at Shi Heyue and interrupted her.
Shi Heyue was taken aback, and she clenched her fists.
She's almost forty, she's not a girl anymore, and she hasn't shown her true emotions in front of others for many years.
But at this moment, her heart softened, and just by looking into Su Tiantian's eyes, she revealed her true feelings.
Yes, she wanted to know.
She looked away, not daring to meet Su Tiantian's eyes, and said calmly, "No matter what I don't know about my parents, I can't let you treat their bodies like this."
Su Tiantian smiled slightly and reached out to hold Shi Heyue's hand.
Shiheyue frowned, trying to pull her hand away, but she froze.
"Did you hear that? Your father is suffering unbearable pain!"
Su Tiantian shared the memory of Shi Jiahu being suppressed into the formation with Shi Heyue.
That was her conversation with Shijiahu.
Shi Heyue was stunned; she couldn't believe it.
Her lips moved several times, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Is this really a tactic that scammers would use?
"Big sister, wake up! Don't be fooled by them!"
Seeing Shi Heyue hesitate, Shi Heming shouted anxiously.
He didn't know why he was so anxious, but he felt uneasy and desperately wanted to stop it all.
Shi Heyue frowned. Before she could speak, Su Tiantian said again, "Sister, do you know why they're in such a hurry to stop it?"
Shi Heyue looked at Su Tiantian with confusion: "Why?"
"It's an intuition about danger, a person's sixth sense."
Su Tiantian smiled slightly and said.
Everything in this world has a sixth sense when facing danger; some people have a weak one, while others have a very strong one.
Therefore, some people are able to avoid danger in times of crisis, while others are not.
"Will the truth they're about to learn put them in danger?"
Shi and Yue didn't understand. In her view, no matter what happened, as long as they didn't kill their father, they were not in danger.
She wouldn't fight them for anything the Shi family owns.
Her father's death was not unusual, and she would not want them to be punished.
So, what sense of crisis could there be?
Su Tiantian smiled slightly and offered no further explanation.
In the time it took to talk like that, seven minutes had already passed.
A thin layer of white mist slowly filled the entire hall.
A shrill, suppressed scream reached everyone's ears.
"ah--"
Because of the torment and suffering it endured, Shi Jiahu could not escape and kept screaming in agony.
It hurts so much; it's torture every moment.
His mind went blank; it was filled with pain.
"dad!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Shi Jiahu's consciousness gradually returned. He endured the pain and realized that he was no longer in that dark, boundless underground place; this place—was his home.
What he saw before him were his children.
However, their expressions were filled with fear, as if they were afraid of something.
"Dad, what happened to you?"
Shi Heyue was overwhelmed with emotion. She hadn’t expected to actually see her father, especially one in such pain. What was that black thing wrapped around him?
Shi Heyue felt uneasy. She even forgot her fear and rushed to Shi Jiahu's side, wanting to tear off the black thing on his body.
"Moon..."
Looking at Shi Heyue, Shi Jiahu felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
He's a ghost now. His daughter isn't afraid of him; she feels sorry for him suffering and wants to save him.
But his sons are terrified of him. They don't even dare to call him "Dad" anymore, and their faces are pale. He is their father. Even if he has become a ghost, he can't possibly hurt them!
