"I...I don't know either."
Shi Wei's voice trembled, "I saw from afar that Miss seemed to be missing a hand and was covered in blood. I panicked and rushed in to report it."
Shi Tianyong's pupils contracted, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
According to the original plan, Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao would not be able to return until evening at the earliest.
Their early return, coupled with their serious injuries, suggests that something unexpected must have happened.
"This...how is this possible? Shi Wei, look carefully! If you dare to lie about military intelligence, I will not let you off easily!"
Wen Min was full of suspicion, and her tone carried a hint of threat.
However, Shi Wei's flustered expression and hurried tone made her vaguely feel that things were probably more serious than she had imagined.
Shi Wei knelt down in front of Shi Tianyong and his wife with a thud, his forehead covered in sweat, his voice trembling: "Master, Madam, I wouldn't dare to make up such a big story even if I had ten lives. Although we were far apart, I saw it clearly."
He swallowed hard and continued, "The young master's shoulder looked like it had been severely injured, and his entire arm hung limply at his sides."
"Sir, the situation is urgent, we must go and see!"
Wen Min was extremely anxious. She slammed the porcelain bowl in her hand onto the table with a "bang," shattering it into pieces.
She darted away and ran towards the manor gate.
Shi Tianyong also looked solemn, lightly tapping his feet as he followed closely behind.
When the two arrived at the manor gate, they saw Shi Wenshan and Shi Yujiao swaying precariously on their horses.
The horse was drenched in sweat and its hooves were trembling, clearly having traveled all night and exhausted itself to the limit.
Shi Wenshan's shoulder was a bloody mess, dark red bloodstains had already soaked through his clothes, and his arm hung limply like a puppet with its strings cut.
Shi Yujiao's condition was even more tragic; her entire arm was severed at the root, and blood was still seeping from the wound, staining her clothes crimson.
"My son!"
Shi Tianyong and Wen Min screamed their hearts out as they rushed forward like arrows released from a bow.
Shi Tianyong caught Shi Wenshan steadily with both hands, while Wen Min gently hugged Shi Yujiao into her arms, her actions full of heartache.
"Father, you must avenge us!" Shi Wenshan cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Mother, that bastard Fang Han ruined my life..."
Shi Yujiao sobbed uncontrollably, tightly hugging Wen Min, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Shi Tianyong's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his gaze sharp as he swept over the exhausted cavalry and demanded in a stern voice, "What exactly happened? Where is your master, Sect Master Lin Yao?"
"Perhaps something happened to our master, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a miserable state..."
Shi Wenshan took a deep breath, forcing back his pain, and began to recount his experiences on Sunset Grassland, all the way to the upheaval at Lin Yin Pavilion, recounting every detail.
Upon hearing his son's account, Shi Tianyong's face turned deathly pale: "Fang Han actually colluded with the Lin Yin Pavilion and swallowed your five-colored gemstones? The Lin Yao Sect Master was unwell and unable to act? And you were actually crippled by a little girl?"
“That’s right, the one who crippled me and my sister is named Gongsun Yaoqin,” Shi Wenshan said through gritted teeth.
Shi Tianyong's eyes were bloodshot, and his nails dug deep into his palms: "You are my only son. How dare they cripple your cultivation and cut off your sister's hand? I will make the Fang family, the Gongsun family, and the Lin Yin Pavilion pay a heavy price. Now, I will gather the family's experts and set off for Yanming City immediately!"
