Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 204: Have your own sense of proportion
"That bitch you're talking about has given you a son."

The Blood Spirit Cult's voice echoed throughout the forbidden area: "The son you so desperately want is the son of that wretched woman you speak of. Fine, even if you don't care about that woman, are you really going to just stand by and watch your son die?"

"you!"

"Should I choose my son's life or my daughter's?"

The Blood Spirit Cult Leader's voice suddenly changed: "I advise you to think this through carefully."

Liu Shiyuan's eyes darted around.

The Blood Spirit Cult Leader, in a good-natured manner, stroked the back of his hand, examining it closely, waiting for the answer.

Fifteen minutes passed, but he still hadn't received the answer he wanted.

"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences." The Blood Spirit Cult Leader grabbed Liu Shiyuan by the neck. "Don't think that just because your son has been brought back to the Liu family, I can't do anything to you. The little Liu family can be destroyed with the flick of my finger."

"I"

The Blood Spirit Cult Leader released his grip: "It seems you've come to your senses. Speak!"

"What exactly do you want me to do? What do you mean by 'offering it to you'? If you're so capable, just go and take it."

"Trying to trick me into revealing anything?"

Liu Shiyuan shook his head: "No, I really don't know what to do."

"It's very simple. You just need to tell the person guarding outside that you know you were wrong and shouldn't have killed Chu Shi. You regret it now and want to apologize to your precious daughter in person. Tell her that Chu Shi's soul hasn't completely dissipated yet. Once your good daughter hears this, she will naturally be unable to resist coming to see you."

"and then?"

"What happens next is none of your concern."

Liu Shiyuan's eyes darted around, and he asked, "If I succeed, what benefits will I get?"

The Blood Spirit Cult Master laughed: "The benefit is that the entire Liu family will be safe, and you can continue to be the head of the Liu family as before. Once the Blood Spirit Cult's grand plan is completed, it's not impossible for you to be ennobled and appointed as a high-ranking official. Your cultivation has been unable to break through, but I have a secret method for you."

It has to be said that this deal was very tempting to him.

The Blood Spirit Sect is indeed very capable. For example, the sect leader was in the dungeon for so long, yet Che Bai didn't notice anything at all.

Liu Shiyuan was torn between two conflicting emotions, but on the surface he feigned hesitation. He stammered, "But Si Jun hates me to the core, how could she easily believe me? How could she so easily accept my apology after how I treated her mother back then?"

The leader of the Blood Spirit Sect snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with impatience: "You just need to speak more sincerely, and add the news that Chu's soul has not dissipated, and she will definitely waver. If she really didn't care about Chu, why would she be so persistent in investigating the Blood Spirit Sect? Isn't it because she wants to avenge Chu? Just say that you know the exact whereabouts of Chu's soul and can help her let Chu's soul rest in peace, and she will definitely come to see you."

Liu Shiyuan nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with the Blood Spirit Sect leader's words, but secretly he was plotting another plan.

He knew Liu Sijun's intelligence and vigilance well, and that it would not be easy to lure her into a trap.

But for his own sake, and for the sake of his only son, he decided to take the risk.

Not long after, Liu Sijun and Gu Changzhou were discussing in the courtyard of the Liu family how to further investigate the Blood Spirit Cult.

Suddenly, a disciple guarding the forbidden area of ​​the Liu family rushed over to report that Liu Shiyuan was suddenly very agitated in the dungeon, repeatedly demanding to see Liu Sijun, and also claiming to know a key clue that the soul of the Chu family had not dissipated.

Liu Sijun glanced at the old lady.

The old lady said, "There was no such action before. You just returned, and such news came from the forbidden area. It is really suspicious."

"Indeed suspicious."

He's been in the forbidden area; he shouldn't know about the Abyss. Could it be that he really knows about his mother's soul?
"Grandmother, how far is the forbidden area from the Liu family?"

"It's located in the southwest of Laiyang County, about a hundred li from your residence," the old lady asked. "What's wrong?"

Liu Sijun shook his head: "How often does Che Bai usually report the situation in the forbidden area to you?"

"It happens every three days, and tomorrow will be the third day."

Liu Sijun nodded and said to the disciple who came to report, "Stay here for now, and return to the forbidden area tomorrow."

The next morning, the old lady received a message from Che Bai that everything was fine in the forbidden area, except that Liu Shiyuan had been emotionally agitated the day before. He had sent his disciple back to report and ask the old lady how to handle the situation.

From this perspective, everything seems normal.

Only Liu Shiyuan was acting strangely. He knew about Chu's soul, but instead of mentioning it earlier or later, he suddenly brought it up just when she learned that the Blood Spirit Sect wanted her Taixu Mirror and her five spiritual roots.

She had no choice but to think about it.

Gu Changzhou said, "Master Si, Liu Shiyuan's thoughts are unpredictable. There may be a trap here. We should not go there lightly."

“I know, but he uses my mother’s spirit as his ears, how can I sit idly by? I must go on this trip. If I can really get a clue to my mother’s spirit, what’s wrong with taking a risk?”

Seeing that she was determined, Gu Changzhou offered a compromise: "Then inform your maternal grandfather and the others."

Chu Shi was also a woman of the Chu family, and it is believed that Chu Jinghong and the others were also eager to find clues about Chu Shi's soul, hoping to let Chu Shi rest in peace as soon as possible.

The old lady said, "That's right, it's best to go together to avoid any mishaps."

In her heart, the old lady naturally hoped that Liu Shiyuan could reform himself in the forbidden area, turn over a new leaf, and that the Liu family would still have a place for him.

But if he remains incorrigible, she will not be lenient.

The Liu family cannot afford to endure any more hardship.

Liu Sijun sent a telepathic message to the Chu family, knowing that the Chu family would take it seriously, but she really didn't expect that almost the entire Chu family would come.

The old matriarch handed the forbidden area token to Liu Sijun and solemnly instructed, "If that rebellious son remains obstinate, do not worry about me. Do whatever you need to do!"

Liu Sijun accepted the token, nodded solemnly, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Grandmother, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Subsequently, Liu Sijun, Gu Changzhou, and the Chu family members sped off towards the southwest of Laiyang County, where the Liu family's forbidden area was located.

Throughout the journey, the Chu family members wore solemn expressions, especially Chu Jinghong, whose eyes were filled with concern for his daughter Chu Shi's soul.

When everyone arrived at the Liu family's forbidden area, Che Bai was already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Liu Sijun and the others, he quickly stepped forward to bow, his eyes filled with a hint of nervousness: "Miss, seniors, since Liu Shiyuan became emotional yesterday, he has remained quietly in the dungeon and has not caused any further disturbances."

Liu Sijun nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You stay outside and keep watch. If anything unusual happens, notify us immediately."

After accepting the order, Che Bai stepped aside.

Holding the forbidden area token, Liu Sijun led the group into the forbidden area.

As soon as he entered, a chilling aura rushed towards him, causing Liu Sijun to frown and tighten his grip on the Taixu Mirror.
