hivered involuntarily, a wave of goosebumps prickling his skin. He knew that if he didn't handle this night well, there wouldn't be a tomorrow for him."It's true, I don't know your contact information..."Master, are you going to use special means to force Tao Jingfeng and the others back"

The tornado asked.

"Well, we have all the props, and I remember that people in Hong Kong believe these things very much."

The ripple glanced at the toe bone in the plastic bag, and a calculation had already formed in his heart.

That night, Lian Yi cast a curse through the bone shard and Xi Luo's sliver of soul power. The day after the spell was complete, Lian Yi returned the props and told Yu Liang one word: "Wait."

The Tao family in Hong Kong has been in turmoil recently. The young master and young lady fell ill one after another and lapsed into a coma, but the cause remained unknown. Three days later, their skin began to ulcerate, and this condition spread. Even Master Tao Jingfeng was afflicted.

Tao Jingfeng also reacted, realizing he had been tricked. Someone was secretly trying to harm him and his family.

Tao Fu now was over fifty, but still well-maintained. She had a strong presence, though recent events at home had left her looking somewhat haggard.

At this time, she saw that a family of four had three people fall down. She immediately stepped forward to stabilize the company and then found masters from Hong Kong to come to her house.

At this point, Tao Jingfeng's skin was already rotting in patches, and his entire body reeked of decay. Even his mother, Tao Fu, wouldn't come near him.

Master Wan Wǔ, with his signature bushy mustache, wore a traditional black tunic and trousers. A string of smooth, round beads adorned his wrist, each emitting a sheen of black.

First, he calculated the eight characters of the three father and son. Then, he covered his mouth and nose to look at the sores on their bodies. Afterward, he took a black bead from his wrist and placed it on Tao Jingfeng's brow. As soon as he pinched a hand gesture, the black bead "crackled" and split open a fine crack.

Though no one else heard, Master Wanwu, being the host, heard it loud and clear. He immediately took back the beads and said to Madam Tao:

"My lady, let us go outside and speak."

Tao Jingfeng wanted to follow, but alas, he was powerless and could only lean against the headboard, waiting for his wife's questioning results.

In the living room on the first floor, Wanwuye took a sip of ginseng tea to calm his nerves before speaking.

"Madam Tao, please forgive my incompetence. I am unable to resolve the predicament of Master Tao, young master, and the misses."

Upon hearing this, Tao Fu's face changed color. She immediately said:

"Master Wanwu, is it the reward that isn't satisfactory Just tell me what you need, and I'll find a way to get it for you."

"Madam Tao, it's not about the reward. I simply lack the ability."

Master Wanshi knew that Mrs. Tao was generous, but without a diamond like the Diamond Sutra, he wouldn't take on such a difficult task. He still had professional ethics in this regard.

Tao Fu saw that Old Man Wan wasn't just going through the motions. Her brows furrowed even tighter, and she asked carefully:

"Grandmaster Wan Wu, if you are unable to help, would you be able to introduce someone who could solve this problem"

Tao Fu's words were veiled, but Wanwu immediately understood who she was talking about. He didn't get angry and put down his teacup, saying:

"Madam Tao, no matter who you call, it won't help. The caster isn't in Hong Kong City, and they used bloodline power to cast the curse. Think about why Mr. Tao and your son and daughter are all affected, but you are unharmed"

Tao's mother pondered the other person's words carefully and suddenly realized. Although she had raised the two children, she was not their biological mother after all. Tao Jingfeng, however, was their biological father.

"Master Wanwu, what do you mean by a curse"

Although the situation was urgent, Mrs. Tao still grasped the key points.

Then you'd have to ask Mr. Tao, what kind of heinous things he has done.

Wanshi had heard about the scandals in these wealthy families, so he directly kicked the ball back.

"Then... what should I do"

Tao Fu asked.

"To untie the bell, one must use the same bell. Let's go back to where those two children were born! At least the closer we are, the slower their sores will spread, and they should hopefully wake up. The rest depends on what the sorcerer wants from your family."

After Wanwuye finished speaking, he offered his farewell.

"Thank you, Wanwu Ye. The housekeeper will see you off!"

Tao Fu told the steward to send up a gift and, after sending off Master Wan Wu, she went to see Tao Jingfeng with a sullen face.

"Tao Jingfeng, tell me the truth. What did you do to the mother of your two children After so many years, she still curses you!"

Tao Jingfeng didn't react immediately, his mind was a bit slow. After filtering the other person's words, his eyes flickered and he said evasively:

"I didn't do anything, I just found someone to frame her for being unfaithful to me, and then took the opportunity to kick her out."

"Humph! Grandmaster Wan said, let you guys go back to your third master's child's birthplace, or else wait to rot."

Tao Fu finished speaking and then slammed the door shut.

Tao Jingfeng was actually quite ashamed. He didn't want to return to Yangcheng, so he took out his phone and contacted several powerful Feng Shui masters again, hoping to resolve his predicament.

Someone received money to handle the situation, setting up a large feng shui formation in Tao Jingfeng's house. This temporarily slowed down the degree of decomposition of the three bodies, but it was a temporary fix and not a cure. The two children were still unconscious and growing thinner every day, only able to sustain their lives through nutrient solutions.

Tao Jingfeng was actually able to eat the food, but unfortunately, the stench on him was too unbearable. Several people had voluntarily resigned and left Tao's villa afterward, fearing they would be implicated as well. For a time, Hong Kong's business community was all waiting to see what would happen next to the Tao family.

In order to survive, Tao Jingfeng finally made a compromise. He took his two children and Mrs. Tao with him, accompanied by the steward, and sailed across the sea to Yangcheng.

On the third day of his journey back, the twins Tao Shixu and Tao Shiyun woke up, but they were devastated when they saw the sores on their bodies.

After comforting the two children, Tao's wife also gave them a simple explanation of what happened. Only then did the two children realize that Tao's wife was not their biological mother, but someone else. Their father had deceived the other person out of selfish motives, and that's how they came to be.

This came as a shock to the two sixteen-year-old children, who couldn't understand how things could turn out like this. For the first sixteen years of their lives, they had lived happily: loving parents, a close sibling bond, and none of the scandalous affairs typical of wealthy families. They thought they were lucky, but reality slapped them hard.

"Mother means this is a curse from our birth mother"

Tao Shixu was more rational and was the first to ask.

Maybe, I don't know either. Perhaps only when we get to your birthplace will we know for sure.

Although Tao Fu knew about the surrogacy, she didn't participate throughout the process. She only went back to raise the child and always thought her husband had paid someone off, after all, their family was wealthy.

But now things have turned out differently, and it seems there's a problem. It's not what she originally expected.

"Will ... father take our biological mother back Like Lillian's family, will he keep a mistress"

Tao Shuyun twisted her sleeve nervously and asked, "I've never met my biological mother before. I don't know how to interact with her."

"Ask your father."

Tao Fu felt weary, she rubbed her temples and said.

As the group got closer to their destination, the three of them felt their wounds slowly stop festering and began to heal. This gave them a great deal of comfort.

Finally, after fifteen years, Tao Jingfeng stood once again at the villa's doorstep. and fell ill. She hadn't rested well on horseback either. The group had hurried back all night for fear that the human trafficker would take revenge on them.At this moment, Yueyue tightly hugged her...
