When Shi Chun reminded him, Wu Jinliang was startled.
“You mean I was followed? That shouldn’t be possible. I was very careful when I left this time, and I even had Xiao Sheng take on my appearance and show himself in public.”
Shi Chun said, “Did you forget that there are cultivators in Yanfu Prefecture who have trained the Demonic Eye? Once they lock onto you, you can’t shake them no matter how you run.” Wu Jinliang asked suspiciously, “Do you think people from those few factions have their eyes on us?”
Shi Chun stopped and looked at him. “It wouldn’t matter much if people from those factions were watching us. Given our current identities, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly in public.
What we need to fear now are those who have trained the Demonic Eye setting their sights on Yu Xuanbing’s wife and daughter. What’s worse, they may already have followed the trail to find out where Yu Xuanbing’s family is.
“Jinliang, his wife and daughter were kidnapped as soon as you showed up. It would be difficult for him not to suspect that you were behind it. If anything else happens to them, you wouldn’t be able to explain yourself even with a hundred mouths. He’ll certainly kill you. So, the most important thing now is to keep his wife and daughter safe and settle them somewhere secure. Yu Xuanbing will definitely come looking for you later. When he does, return his wife and daughter to him properly and explain everything. This matter should still be resolved peacefully.”
Wu Jinliang looked worried.
“If they really have been targeted by those cultivators who trained the Demonic Eye, can those two still be settled somewhere safe? Where could they possibly stay safely?”
Shi Chun thought for a moment before asking, “Where are the mother and daughter now?”
“In a hidden place in the city. Old Huang is personally protecting them.”
“Contact Old Huang and have him bring them straight here.
