Chapter 9 Let me see (1/2)

At this moment, Ruan Songming, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect whom Ruan Tang was talking about, was hugging his good brother's leg with snot and tears streaming down his face, crying loudly and dramatically.

"You old bastard! You better figure it out for me! Where on earth is my daughter?!"

Inside the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, star trails flowed, and the Dao was naturally formed, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Ruan Songming, the renowned Master Baichuan in the cultivation world, showed no trace of his former sect leader authority at this moment.

He had a head of messy white hair, and his bloodshot eyes were swollen like two rotten peaches. He was clutching the hem of the Tianji Pavilion Master's robe tightly, crying like a three-hundred-pound child.

"My precious daughter whom I raised with such difficulty!"

"She's so delicate and lazy, how could she live without me!"

"Her soul lamp hasn't gone out! She's definitely still alive. Quickly, tell me, has she been kidnapped by some damned bastard?!"

"I'll skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and burn his soul to the ground!"

He cried his heart out, completely losing his composure, which made the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's temple throb with veins.

"release!"

"I won't let go! If you don't get out today, I'm going to die here!"

...

Ruan Tang had no idea that her powerful and influential father, the sect leader, was shamelessly throwing a tantrum in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

She was just now letting out a satisfied burp.

After the last sip of soy milk, I felt completely comfortable.

The small courtyard left by my great-aunt is not big, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and has the unique gentleness of the Jiangnan water towns.

There is an old well in the courtyard, and several clumps of vibrant moss grow around it.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, you can see that although the house has been uninhabited for a long time and is covered with a thin layer of dust, the layout is small and exquisite, and every table and chair exudes the tranquility that comes with the passage of time.

It's much more pleasing to the eye than that desolate ruin.

Just as she was about to instruct the puppet grandmother to clean, a thought suddenly struck her.

A translucent butterfly, its thin wings shimmering with light, silently passed through the wall and landed lightly on her fingertips.

It was the one she left at the Ruan family's old house.

Ruan Tang lowered her eyelids slightly, and the images brought back by the spirit butterfly unfolded clearly in her mind.

She and her mother-in-law had barely left when a furtive figure crept out from the back alley.

It was a man, dressed in a fairly decent suit, who approached the back door with a shifty look on his face.

When he discovered that the back door and its frame had disappeared, he visibly froze for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he still crouched down and crawled inside.

The next second, the man seemed to be frozen in place, as if he had been put under a spell.

In the video, he stands in the middle of a vast, empty wasteland where only the foundation remains, his face displaying a truly astonishing expression.

Shock, bewilderment, disbelief... in the end, it all turned into madness.

The man ran back and forth through the ruins, his steps unsteady.

He rushed to what used to be the main house and futilely dug at the solid ground with his feet. The ground was clearly solid, and there was no hidden basement.

Then, as if possessed, he rushed to the edge of the large pit in the backyard, which used to be an artificial hill. Looking at the pit in front of him, the man ran his hands through his hair, muttering to himself, on the verge of a breakdown.

Ruan Tang watched this comical scene, a cold smile curving her lips.

To be honest, she also admired her own furry little creature.

This ability to destroy a house is truly unparalleled.

But... who is this man?

Ruan Tang frowned and thoroughly searched through the original owner's memories.

No.

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

They are neither relatives of the Ruan family nor business partners.

This person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

With a slight twitch of her fingertips, Ruan Tang sent the spirit butterfly flying out of the courtyard silently, heading back towards the ruins.
