“Zhao Ci—” Zhao Yuezhu was anxious, not even calling him Dad anymore, “I caused the trouble. Li Po is in trouble because of me. You want me to back out?”

“What about your sense of honor? What about your principles as a warlock?”

Zhao Yuezhu became more and more angry as she spoke, “You said that not all warlocks are bad people. But among the good people, you definitely aren't one of them.”

“The selfishness, self-interest, and ruthlessness of a warlock are all perfectly displayed in you.”

I raised my hand to stop Zhao Yuezhu, “Girl, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Zhao, you are also a Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren, so you should know that there is no such thing as a target being locked on by evil spirits for no reason. Zhao girl…”

Before I could finish, Zhao Ci interrupted, “Yuezhu getting involved in the human skin secret art was just a coincidence. I don't want her to get involved again.”

Zhao Yuezhu said sharply, “Zhao Ci, what gives you the right to make decisions for me? Did you ask for my opinion? Li Po, let's go.”

I reached out and stopped Zhao Yuezhu, “Girl, your dad's words make sense.”

“If it's not your business, don't get involved. I'm afraid this matter is related to you.”

I kept looking at Zhao Ci as I spoke.

I couldn't see any emotions on his face. Zhao Ci just said calmly, “Li Po, I am also a warlock, and I have also walked the martial world. Some tricks are best not used casually, lest you become a laughingstock.”

My face also darkened, “Friend Zhao, if you have something to say, say it directly. I really don't like this kind of veiled way of speaking.”

Zhao Ci said coldly, “I'm telling you, don't try to drag Yuezhu into this. It's better for everyone.”

“Zhao Ci—” Before I could speak, Zhao Yuezhu got angry, “What are you saying? What good would it do Li Po to drag me into this? Don't you ever think about other people's feelings when you say such hurtful things?”

Zhao Ci simply stopped pretending, “Li Po and I are both Jianghu people, and we are both men. Everyone knows how many tricks each other has up their sleeves…”

“Zhao Ci, that's enough!” Zhao Yuezhu was so angry that tears streamed down her face, “Li Po, let's go, don't pay attention to him.”

Zhao Yuezhu grabbed my arm and tried to leave, but Zhao Ci slammed his wheelchair hard, “Li Po, I dare you to take a step out of here!”

Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere in other people's family matters. The best thing to do would be to leave first and let the father and daughter communicate and reconcile.

But why should I follow Zhao Ci's wishes?

After being called a scheming opportunist to my face, the fact that I didn't slap him was already the greatest restraint. Why should I still play the good guy?

I grabbed Zhao Yuezhu's hand and gave Zhao Ci a provocative look, “I'm taking her with me. If you can call her back, it means you have a deep father-daughter bond. If you can't call her back, I'll take her into the Jianghu and turn her into a true warlock.”

“You…” Zhao Ci was so angry that his face turned livid, but I pulled Zhao Yuezhu's hand and strode away.

After I came out of the hospital, Qin Xin whispered in my ear, “You can let go now, right? Little sister's face is all red.”

I glanced sideways and saw that Zhao Yuezhu's face was as red as an apple. The hand she was holding wanted to pull back, but she seemed a little afraid, so she just held one hand up and followed behind me with her head down.

I released Zhao Yuezhu without batting an eye, “Zhao girl, can you contact someone who has a good relationship with Sun Qing?”

“Huh?” Zhao Yuezhu finally reacted, “You're looking for Sun Qing?”

I said as I walked, “At first, I didn't think Sun Qing had anything to do with the person I was looking for.”

“Now it seems that Chang Jiuzhen and Sun Qing must have some kind of connection. I even suspect that the old Sun family man said to Sun Qing before he died, that the person he was waiting for was Chang Jiuzhen.”

As I spoke, I turned to look at Zhao Yuezhu, who was blushing all over from my gaze, “You… what are you looking at me for?”

I sized up Zhao Yuezhu for a long time, “I'm looking to see if there's anything special about you. Why would Sun Qing target you?”

Zhao Yuezhu felt uncomfortable being stared at by me, “Have you looked enough?”

“Let's go, go with me to find your dad!” I grabbed Zhao Yuezhu and walked back.

Zhao Yuezhu was frightened by me, “What are you looking for him for? Are we going back to fight? My dad, actually…”

I said without turning my head, “Your dad must have seen something, so he deliberately provoked me, wanting to get you away. We'll go back and ask him.”

I didn't react just now, but now that I think about it carefully, I feel that Zhao Ci's behavior was a bit abnormal.

How could someone who would rather die than betray their friends when they fell into enemy hands suddenly act out of character, making his own daughter unable to step down in front of her friends?

Zhao Ci must be hiding something from me!

Zhao Yuezhu's expression finally softened a little, “My dad is very stubborn! If he doesn't want to say it, you can't get violent!”

“Don't worry, I won't!” I immediately added, “If he doesn't say it, just tell him that you're going to marry me. A father-in-law won't hide anything from his son-in-law.”

“Are you trying to die!” Zhao Yuezhu was almost scared silly by me.

“I'm not kidding.” I grabbed Zhao Yuezhu and quickened my pace. Zhao Yuezhu squatted on the ground, grabbing my arm tightly, “Li Po, you're crazy! I'm not going…”
