Shen Ye had already anticipated a fierce battle ahead and hesitated, saying, “It’ll be dangerous.”

However, Fu Guanglin insisted, “Lao Shi is my friend and I want to know his situation.”

In the end, Shen Ye agreed.

Perhaps because Fu Guanglin was with them, Ye Ze brought along the bodyguards from the Ye family this time. Shen Ye thought about it and felt it was good, as someone had to carry the Shi family back after rescuing them.

Soon, the group arrived at Mr. Shi’s villa and Shen Ye walked straight in.

There were only servants in the villa and the Shi family of four was nowhere to be seen.

Fu Guanglin was very surprised, “Is Lao Shi not at home?”

Shen Ye made an affirmative sound, apparently having guessed this situation earlier. He walked to the antique shelf in the living room, picked up the family portrait on it, and turned to leave.

Fu Guanglin was confused and did not understand why Shen Ye did not ask the servant where Lao Shi’s family had gone and why he only took the family portrait and left.

Shen Ye saw his confusion and explained, “The Shi family has been taken to another place. Mr. Shi was taken alone, while his mother, wife, and children were taken elsewhere. I only calculated Old Mrs. Shi’s address earlier. Now that I’ve seen Mr. Shi’s picture, I have some clues.”

It turned out that they used Mr. Shi’s picture to calculate the location where he was being held captive!

Fu Guanglin instantly showed an expression of admiration.

After getting into the car, Shen Ye whispered to Ye Ze, “Let’s go to Mingfeng Mountain.”

Mingfeng Mountain was where their grandmother was once held captive. At the foot of the mountain, there was a sanatorium, and on the mountain, there was a large natural park. Many people would go there for hiking on weekends.

Ye Ze instructed the driver to drive and asked Shen Ye in a low voice, “He’s there?”

Of course, “he” referred to the old Taoist.

Shen Ye nodded and said, “There’s a primitive forest on the mountaintop that hasn’t been developed yet and the old Taoist is there.”

Ye Ze furrowed his brows and said nothing.

“What are you thinking about?” Shen Ye nudged him with his elbow.

Ye Ze spoke slowly, “We need to deploy manpower and contact the person in charge of that area to evacuate tourists.”

Although it wasn’t a weekend today, many people are still going to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but admire him.

What if the old Taoist went to harm the crowds? That’s why Ye Ze’s consideration was so thoughtful.

Ye Ze had already instructed Zong Yiming, “Contact Ye Hong and have him handle this.”

“Ye Hong?” Shen Ye was very curious.

“He’s the eldest grandson of the Ye family in Haicheng and he’s like my eldest cousin.”

Shen Ye knew that the Ye family in Haicheng and the Ye family in the imperial capital were of the same ancestry but different clans. It was normal for Ye Ze to ask Ye Hong for help and he didn’t ask any further.

Fu Guanglin sat in the passenger seat and trembled when he heard the words “Ye family in Haicheng.”

As entrepreneurs like him and Mr. Shi, they were considered wealthy and influential in Haicheng and even the entire country, but they couldn’t even touch the door of the Ye family in Haicheng. The Ye family in Haicheng had a history of hundreds of years. They had always been low-key and didn’t go public or finance. No one knew how rich the Ye family was. Anyway, if the Ye family stamped their feet, they could make the whole Haicheng tremble.

It was rumored that the Ye family in the imperial capital and the Ye family in Haicheng had the same ancestor… So, was the handsome man in the back seat from the Ye family in the imperial capital?

Previously, Master Shen introduced him as his fiance.

So… Master Shen’s fiance had such a big background?!

Fu Guanglin was greatly shocked.

On the way, Shen Ye kept drawing talismans with the peachwood brush, which soon piled up like a mountain.

Ye Ze guessed his intention to some extent and silently leaned against his arm, allowing him to absorb the purple aura from his body at close range to recover his strength.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but look up at him. This man was just too considerate.

Once they entered the mountain path, Shen Ye put away his peachwood brush and adjusted his state.

Ye Ze gently held his hand.

Shen Ye leaned on his shoulder with a smiling face, secretly feeling that Ye Ze was his elixir. He had drawn so many talismans and should have been exhausted, but with the nourishment of Ye Ze’s purple aura, he now felt energetic and refreshed!

He looked down at the stack of talisman papers piled up like a small mountain and then at the peachwood brush in his hand, and sneered, “I’ll use this brush and the talisman paper I drew today to deal with that stinky Taoist!”

This peachwood brush was snatched from the old Taoist’s hand and was just enough to deal with the old Taoist!

The car reached an open space at the top of the mountain and there was no road ahead.

Shen Ye said, “Let’s all get out of the car.”

At this time, all the tourists had been sent back down the mountain and the mountain was quiet, with occasional insect chirping and bird singing, making it even more eerie.

Before entering the forest, Shen Ye distributed talisman papers to everyone to carry with them at all times.

Ye Ze left some people here to guard and then the two of them led the rest into the forest.

Not long after they entered the forest, ten giant pythons and ten fierce tigers appeared in front of them, blocking their way with their bloodthirsty mouths open.

The bodyguards from Ye’s family were all retired from the army, but now they were pale with fear. Fu Guanglin, in particular, was afraid of pythons.

Only Ye Ze stood calmly by Shen Ye’s side, holding Shen Ye’s hand tightly as if silently reassuring him.

Shen Ye thought to himself, ‘No wonder he’s the man I chose, he’s so calm!’

He silently praised Ye Ze in his heart.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s just an illusion.” Shen Ye reassured everyone while throwing three talisman papers out.

In the next second, the exhausted roars of the python and tiger echoed, which was terrifying. Everyone was startled and stepped back.

Fortunately, the python and tiger disappeared in just a few seconds.

It turned out to be an illusion.

Everyone was still in shock but also admired Shen Ye’s skills. They all looked at him with worshipful eyes.

Shen Ye raised his nose arrogantly, “Humph, what cats and dogs, dare to play tricks in front of me!”

It was only because his spiritual power was damaged that he needed the help of talismans.

Ye Ze rubbed his head and chuckled.

The python and tiger were not cats and dogs…but close enough. Shen Ye’s talismans were just too powerful.

Later, they encountered several formations, but Shen Ye broke them all with lightning speed. He drew so many talismans on the way just to deal with the traps set by the old Taoist, so he didn’t hesitate to use them and walked smoothly toward the old Taoist’s lair.

…

At the same time, in the wooden house on the mountaintop, Yang Yuhang looked down at Mr. Shi, who was tied up by all four limbs, “Still won’t agree to be with me?”

Mr. Shi ignored her and didn’t even lift his eyelids. But in his heart, he thought that Master Shen was really amazing. Wasn’t this Yang Yuhang the rotten peach blossom that Master Shen mentioned?

To be honest, Mr. Shi didn’t expect that Yang Yuhang was the rotten peach blossom that Master Shen referred to. She even planned to harm his wife before!

Yang Yuhang was the number one artist of Ba Jiao Entertainment and had been signed with the company since its establishment. At that time, the company was small and Mr. Shi had to personally manage the company. After the agent signed Yang Yuhang, he felt that she had potential, so he used all the company’s resources to promote her. Later, it turned out that his vision was correct and Yang Yuhang became famous all over the world.

But he claimed that he never gave Yang Yuhan any hints related to emotions. On Yang Yuhan’s path to fame, he at most provided resources through his agent but he had never spent time alone with Yang Yuhan.

Who would have thought that Yang Yuhan actually wanted to be with him?

Yang Yuhan softened her tone and said, “If you agree to my conditions, I will ask my master to spare your life and you can practice with me in the future. Maybe you can achieve immortality.”

Mr. Shi couldn’t help but sneer.

Immortality? That’s just a trick to fool the naive.

For someone like Yang Yuhan, could her master be a good person? Although Shen Ye was a truly capable master, he never said that people could achieve immortality. It was obvious that Yang Yuhan and her master were definitely practicing some crooked methods!

Seeing that Mr. Shi still ignored her, a sinister look flashed in Yang Yuhan’s eyes, “If you don’t agree, your mother, wife, and child will all die!”

Only then did Mr. Shi look up at her and said, “Don’t try to deceive me. My mother, wife, and child are all at home, protected by Master Shen’s formation. You and your master won’t be able to enter.”

His mother was in good health and rarely went out. His wife had been staying at home with his mother. However, his son was likely to be caught…thinking of this, Mr. Shi’s expression changed.

Yang Yuhan smiled faintly, “It’s simple. Your phone has facial recognition, so I used it to send WeChat messages to your wife and children, saying that you were going to celebrate your mother’s recovery and had booked a restaurant outside. Neither your wife nor children suspected anything, so they dressed up and went out. As soon as the three of them stepped out of the yard, I caught them all, not leaving anyone behind.”

Mr. Shi believed Yang Yuhan’s words and his expression turned ugly. At the same time, he was filled with regret. He should have set a numeric password instead of using facial recognition.

But what was more important now was to find out where his family was.

“Where did you take them?” Mr. Shi asked angrily, unable to maintain a good expression in front of this mentally ill woman.

“Of course, my master and I hid them away,” Yang Yuhan said with a smile.

Mr. Shi was furious. “Are you insane? Everyone knows that my wife and I have a good relationship and our children are almost 20 years old. Are you still thinking of being a mistress?”

Yang Yuhan looked at him softly. “But I like you… You may not remember, but one time I was taken to a dinner party and an old man got me drunk and wanted to assault me. It was you who brought the police to the hotel to save me…”

Mr. Shi thought to himself, ‘Is there anything wrong with saving someone’s life?’

If he had known that Yang Yuhan was mentally ill, he would never have helped her.

Yang Yuhan was still lost in the emotions of that time. “You don’t know, you were like a god who descended from the sky at that moment. From that moment on, I fell in love with you.”

Mr. Shi sneered. “So what if you love me? You hurt my wife and mother. If I don’t retaliate against you, I’m doing well enough!”

He couldn’t understand this kind of love, especially when she knew that he had a wife and children but still wanted to be his mistress.

But now, his family was caught by Yang Yuhan. Mr. Shi wondered if he should temporarily agree to her proposal.

Yang Yuhan saw his hesitation and a triumphant glint flashed in her eyes. She continued, “As long as you agree to be with me, I’ll ask my master to release your family.”

In fact, the Taoist priest had already taken action against the Shi family. It was just that they were unlucky, as their eight characters matched the Taoist priest’s.

Mr. Shi gritted his teeth. “Okay, I agree, but you have to guarantee the safety of my family. Otherwise, I’d rather die with them!”

Yang Yuhan said, “Hmm, I promise. But you have to be with me now.”

Mr. Shi was speechless.

At the moment when Mr. Shi was undergoing a life test, Shen Ye and his men had already entered deep into the forest and saw the thatched house not far away.

“Not good, the old lady has no breath!” Shen Ye became anxious.

The Taoist priest had already sensed the arrival of Shen Ye’s group and sneered, “You’ve come at the right time!”

He needed to replenish his yang energy and the bodyguards brought by Shen Ye are all full of yang energy, which is a great supplement!
