Though he was terrified, there were some things he simply had to do.

Otherwise, the Zheng Family would never know peace. He was certain of that.

But he had no idea how he had offended Steward Su to make him act this way. He would only get his answers after capturing him.

Soon, Chen Qingdi walked out of the room.

The first person he saw upon exiting was Su Wen.

This only strengthened his conviction that Su Wen was the one trying to kill Patriarch Zheng.

Moreover, a faint Spiritual Qi Flow emanated from Su Wen. Though it was well-concealed, Chen Qingdi could still tell that he was a master.

The first time they met, Chen Qingdi hadn’t looked closely and had failed to notice it.

He had to admit, Su Wen was an expert at hiding his true nature.

What’s more, a pitch-black gleam emanated from his pocket—it had to be the Seven-Bone Snake Insect.

Others might not have noticed, but Chen Qingdi saw it at a glance.

”How is the Patriarch?”

Su Wen asked hurriedly.

”The situation isn’t good.”

”He needs to rest. For now, his life is merely saved.”

”He’s still extremely weak.”

Chen Qingdi replied.

”I’m his personal steward. May I go in and see him?”

Su Wen asked, looking at Chen Qingdi.

”Not right now.”

Chen Qingdi refused with a shake of his head.

’He could see the murderous intent in Su Wen’s eyes, the desire to kill Patriarch Zheng right this instant.’

”All of you, withdraw. Patriarch Zheng needs to rest. If he needs you, he will have you notified.”

Chen Qingdi said.

No matter how badly Su Wen wanted to go in, he had no choice but to retreat after Chen Qingdi’s decree.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingdi and Situ Xian also went downstairs.

As they were heading downstairs, Situ Xian couldn’t help but ask, ”Who exactly is trying to harm Patriarch Zheng?”

His voice was perhaps a little too loud. Despite Situ Xian trying to keep it down, many of the Zheng Family servants overheard him.

The Zheng Family had certainly been in turmoil lately. The servants had been whispering amongst themselves, speculating if the family had offended someone, given the recent string of incidents.

As Situ Xian’s words drew everyone’s attention, Chen Qingdi noticed Su Wen striding away to the side, clearly pretending he hadn’t heard a thing.

’This reaction made Chen Qingdi confident his plan would succeed.’

”This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go outside.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Alright.”

Situ Xian nodded.

He realized it was inappropriate to discuss such matters here.

Once they were outside and had found a quiet spot, Situ Xian curiously asked the same question again.

”It’s better if you don’t ask about that.”

”You’ll have your answer when the time is right.”

”And I believe an answer will present itself very soon.”

”The more you know, the more danger you’ll be in. Do you understand, senior?”

Chen Qingdi looked at Situ Xian.

Situ Xian understood that Chen Qingdi was saying this for his own good, so he didn’t press the matter further.

Soon, it was noon. Chen Qingdi didn’t leave, deciding to stay for lunch. After all, with both Young Master Zheng and Patriarch Zheng in precarious situations, he felt compelled to remain.

His main priority was to ensure the safety of the two members of the Zheng Family.

During lunch, Chen Qingdi noted that Steward Su was nowhere to be seen.

Everything was unfolding just as Chen Qingdi had anticipated.

After finishing his meal as quickly as possible, Chen Qingdi strolled leisurely toward Patriarch Zheng’s room.

At that very moment, Su Wen had already pushed open Patriarch Zheng’s door and was creeping inside.

A jet-black dagger appeared in his hand as he slowly approached Patriarch Zheng.

He then lunged with the dagger.

The blade plunged violently into the bed.

But Steward Su immediately felt that something was wrong.

It felt as if he had stabbed a wad of cotton.

”Not good!”

Steward Su cried out in alarm.

Just then, with a low HUM, a barrier that Chen Qingdi had laid in advance rumbled to life.

It instantly enveloped Steward Su.

This barrier was formed from simple Qi Strength.

But even though it was a simple Qi Barrier, it would not be easy for Steward Su to break through it.

Steward Su’s expression changed drastically, his face now a mask of tension.

Steward Su immediately pulled out a small vial. Upon opening it, a swarm of Seven-Bone Snake Insects poured out.

They began to gnaw at the barrier’s energy shield.

But it was useless.

Steward Su knew he had walked into a trap.

Even so, he appeared remarkably calm.

Hearing footsteps approaching outside, Steward Su quickly put the vial away, his face twisting into a look of panic.

”What’s going on?!”

”Is anyone there?”

”I’m trapped in here!”

”Patriarch Zheng is gone!”

Steward Su shouted loudly.

CREAK... The door swung open.

Patriarch Zheng walked in, his expression serene.

Behind him were Chen Qingdi and two of the Zheng Family’s second-level Guiyuan Realm masters.

”Patriarch Zheng, you’ve finally come.”

”I was just coming to check on you, to ask what you might like to eat.”

”I never expected to get trapped in here! What is going on?”

Steward Su asked, feigning utter confusion.

”What’s going on? Don’t you know perfectly well?”

Patriarch Zheng stared at Steward Su, his face grim.

”How could I possibly know? I don’t know anything.”

Steward Su shook his head repeatedly, putting on an innocent facade.

Seeing his act, Patriarch Zheng remained impassive, his gaze cold as he stared at the steward.

”Even now, you’re still not ready to reveal your true intentions?”

”Steward Su, you have been with me for twenty years. You know full well how I have treated you.”

Patriarch Zheng said.

”The Patriarch has treated me exceptionally well, which is why I’m all the more dedicated to caring for you.”

”Divine Physician Chen said your condition was poor. I was so worried I lost my appetite for lunch and came to see you. Who would have thought I’d get trapped in here?”

”Is this a small barrier set by the family’s masters?”

Steward Su looked at Patriarch Zheng.

”Yes.”

Patriarch Zheng nodded.

In truth, Chen Qingdi had been the one to set it up.

If the Zheng Family’s masters had been the ones to create it, it likely wouldn’t have been nearly as robust.

”Take out what’s in your pocket.”

”I saw it.”

Chen Qingdi said to Steward Su with a smile.

”What’s in my pocket?”

”What?”

Steward Su continued to play dumb.
