Yin Ping was anxious. She immediately thought of the discussion between Ban Chao and Chen Mu. Yu'er had somehow overheard it. If it was leaked, not only would the whole family die, it would also implicate others. She did not dare to delay, nor did she have the time to explain the matter to Chen Min while Ban Chao was still in the room.

Chen Mu and Ban Chao were startled. ”How did Yu'er know?” Ban Chao asked.

”The walls have ears. I'm not sure if I heard it.”

Ban Chao laughed, ”A child, if you want to hear it, just listen. It doesn't matter even if you expect it …”

Chen Mu shook his head, ”No, we can't afford to make any mistakes. Master Ban, go and invite Huyan Jie to a banquet at the inn. I will bring Yu'er back immediately.” Don't ask him to reveal a single word. ”

With that, he strode out of the inn, and when he arrived at the entrance of the inn, Chen Yu, Chen Ying and the other two children were nowhere to be seen.

After going back and forth a few times, they couldn't find any trace of them. They walked into a secluded alley. Just as they were getting anxious, they suddenly heard a cold voice from behind them: ”Fifth Brother, you told us to be easy to find!”

He was ranked fifth, so he was known as the fifth brother. It had been more than ten years since anyone had called him that, and he and everyone else had a grudge against him. He and Yin Ping had assumed that these people had not heard from them for many years, and without the help of the sariras, they would definitely die.

In that instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Chen Mubai's mind, and he was at a loss as to how to respond. He strolled away with the person following closely behind him. ”Fifth brother, where should we go?”

”You got the wrong person!” Chen Xie said.

That person chuckled, ”It's been ten years and your appearance hasn't changed much. You're unlike us, how could we, as big brothers, recognize you as wrong?”

Chen Xie did not even dare to turn his head, much less utter a single word of nonsense. He continued to stride forward with large strides.

Seeing him in such a state, that person suddenly said lightly, ”Could it be that they don't even care about the twins' lives?”

Chen Mubai's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stopped. Didn't I come to Shanshan just for my wife and son to have a good home, how can I ignore my son's life? How could he have imagined that this world was so small, and that he would meet his former enemy here?

He spun around, his sword already out of its scabbard. With a flick of his wrist, the sword was already at the man's neck. ”Where did you take the child?”

The person wore a dirty dark red cloak and covered half of his face with his hood. His head was lowered so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He coldly laughed, ”It's been ten years since we last met. Is this how you treat your former brother?”

”Sneaking around and kidnapping my son, who do you think you are?”

The man chuckled, ”Solitary Enchantment's Shally, you flew far away yourself, got married and had children, and now you are so successful, yet you cause us to be inhumane, like ghosts or ghosts. You wander on the border of life and death everyday, not seeing the light of day, what kind of brother are you?”

Chen Mu took a deep breath. ”There's only one sariras, and it can't save everyone. I have to do it. With the sariras, we brothers will kill each other. I stole the sariras, but you can still live to this day.” Are you Seventh Brother? ”

”So I have to thank you?” The man gritted his teeth as he took off his hood and said coldly, ”I'm not Seventh Brother …” Seventh Brother... ”I can't take the pain, I've already committed suicide …”
