When I said that, almost everyone was stunned, but I kept my eyes fixed on He Fei.
I noticed that only He Fei seemed to have guessed from the beginning that the others hadn't noticed the problem.
"Could it be that He Fei and He Yun co-directed this scene?"
I muttered to myself.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
It was originally a test targeting He Qiang.
More accurately, this should be considered a case of He Yun and He Fei making the best of a bad situation!
The whole sequence of events became very clear to me.
The gist is that He Qiang has become a demon, but no one is sure. Just then, He Qiang begins to test the waters, and He Yun and He Fei take advantage of this opportunity to make things worse.
This led to the scene we saw earlier.
Sure enough, the next second, He Yun and Xu Feng appeared in front of us.
"Impossible, how come you're alright?"
He Qiang's eyes widened when he saw He Yun, his gaze filled with disbelief.
Things have developed to this point beyond most people's expectations, especially He Qiang, who is now unable to control the situation.
"The reason is simple! Because this was originally a scheme targeting you!"
After He Yun appeared, he sneered at He Qiang and then turned around to clasp his hands in a fist salute to me.
"Little Chen, I never imagined you were so intelligent! You saw right through our brilliant plan!"
He Yun said sincerely.
"At first I didn't expect it either, but I always felt that Uncle He Yun couldn't have died so mysteriously!"
I smiled and offered a few words of flattery.
After all, we still need to rely on them to slay demons and monsters, so we have to say some nice things, otherwise it would be too unfair.
Sure enough, after hearing such nice words, He Yun burst into laughter.
"You brat, you should learn a thing or two from Xiao Chen. You really need to learn how to use that foul mouth of yours!"
He Yun glanced at Luo Tianhe next to him and compared Luo Tianhe to me.
"No, Dad, you're really not dead? You've gone through all this and you didn't tell me!"
Luo Tianhe's tone was somewhat reproachful, but mostly joyful.
Luo Tianhe never expected that his father would also come back to life, just like him.
"Nonsense, with your bad temper, if I told you, your third uncle would have already figured it out!"
You brat, you always wear your emotions on your sleeve! I can't tell you anything, no matter who else I'm talking to!
He Yun rolled her eyes, but the doting look in her eyes was undeniable.
I nodded, and that made sense.
No father doesn't love his child; the idea of abandoning one's biological son to favor an adopted one is just a story from novels.
Moreover, Xu Feng is far from being as outstanding as she's portrayed. I always felt that He Yun's feelings for Xu Feng were all an act, created to fabricate this misunderstanding.
Only by deliberately revealing their weaknesses will He Qiang be completely exposed.
"Uncle, what exactly happened?"
Everyone looked at He Yun, hoping to find out the whole story from him.
He Yun then pointed at me.
"Let Xiao Chen tell you the story of how this happened."
Honestly, I never expected that someone like Xiao Chen, an outsider, would see through this. Don't any of you have any ideas?!
He Yun sounded a little annoyed at this point, which I could understand. So many blood relatives in the family hadn't noticed the flaws in the story.
And I, someone with no blood relation to them, actually saw through it all.
I can understand that sense of loss.
After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, especially Luo Tianhe, who was even more embarrassed.
I began to explain my speculation and the entirety of their plan to everyone.
The more I spoke, the more satisfied He Yun's eyes became.
I then explained everything that was on my mind.
"That's right, that's exactly how it is!"
The three of us devised a plan to carry out this "Shadow Serpent" operation.
I wasn't sure about it at first, since it was a huge gamble!
But unexpectedly, Xiao Chen's appearance brought a turning point to the matter!
It was through Xiao Chen's words that you finally confirmed Xu Feng's obsession with the devil!
He Yun looked at me and continued speaking.
I touched my chin sheepishly. Wow, so I was part of their game too.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and seal the demon. If this guy gets away, all our efforts will be in vain!"
At this point, the second son started urging him on.
Without any hesitation, everyone began to form a formation.
Golden beams of light appeared on these people, and a huge demon-slaying array formed beneath their feet.
He Qiang, who was in the very center, was firmly bound by the power of this formation.
With a loud shout from He Yun, He Qiang was instantly killed, and the demonic energy on his body was completely dispelled.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qiang, Qiang, why did you choose this path? Your talent is not weak, and with your strength, you would never allow the demons to invade!"
Looking at He Qiang's corpse, He Yun couldn't help but sigh.
I could sense that He Yun was still very heartbroken over his cousin.
"What other reason could there be? Of course, it's because he's not buying anymore. This guy originally wanted to replace the eldest brother as the head of the family!"
According to the normal procedure, even if the eldest brother is gone, I still have him, so it's barely his turn. That's why he devised this plan!
He Fei explained things very clearly, and everyone nodded vigorously after hearing his explanation, agreeing with his statement.
I stood in the middle of the crowd and, when no one was looking, opened the booklet and carefully examined it.
But something surprising happened.
According to the normal procedure, we should have already completed the mission by slaying the demons, but the booklet still shows that it is pending completion, and the mark is still there.
"Does this mean the demon race hasn't been eradicated yet?"
I frowned deeply; I had a feeling that things weren't as simple as I had imagined.
And then those familiar words came to mind again: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
I felt my heart pounding violently. Who was the mantis and who was the oriole?
"Alright, enough of the spectacle. This farce is over. Xiao Luo, take your friend downstairs to rest. He really did our family a huge favor this time!"
He Yun clapped his hands, his eyes full of excitement. He asked Luo Tianhe to take care of me, Lao Dao, and Ant.
"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely take care of my three friends perfectly!"
As Luo Tianhe spoke, he grabbed me and Lao Dao, while Ant followed us around like a little puppy.
Only after leaving the mourning hall did I slowly begin to speak.
I told him that the story isn't over yet.
