In the Carter Mansion in Mid City, Darryl was humming a song. He went to the living area after Zoran called him to come over quickly.When he arrived, he saw Zoran laughing with a beautiful woman. She was exquisite! She was wearing a long yellow dress, looking incredibly regal. If he guessed correctly, she should be Zoran’s wife—Susan Creek!Other than the two of them, there were three other people. Rachel, Sara, and Ewan.‘F*ck, why is this guy here again?’ Darryl thought.“Darryl!” Sara called him cheerfully. She ran up to him and tugged on his arm. She pouted and asked, “Where have you been all this while! I’ve missed you!”Darryl patted her head lovingly. He then turned and bowed politely to Zoran and Susan. “Godfather, Godmother.”Susan nodded and smiled as she looked at Darryl. She heard that her husband had a new godson. This was the first time that she met him. He gave her a good impression; he was polite and handsome.“Godmother makes me sound old. Why not call me Aunti
When the four of them left, Zoran hugged Susan from behind. “Susan, I think Darryl’s a great guy,” he whispered, “I’ve decided for Rachel to marry him, what do you think?”What? Susan shuddered. Rachel—her eldest daughter—and Ewan’s relationship was close to marriage, and their entire family knew about this. Why did he suddenly change his mind?Susan thought to herself and asked, “Does Rachel know? How does she feel about this?”“She’s very against it. She only wants to marry Ewan, so I thought you could convince her,” Zoran laughed bitterly.“She likes Ewan, so why are you forcing her to marry Darryl? Ewan is a great man as well—Rachel marrying Ewan won’t be an embarrassment.”Susan loved both of her daughters very much. She did not want to force them to marry someone they do not like.“I suggest that you let Rachel marry Ewan,” Susan sighed as she left the room.In the study, Susan explained Formations to her children. This was the first time Darryl has learned about Formati
What magical peach blossom forest was this? Ewan was overjoyed at her idea.“Rachel, we’ll go according to your plan. We’ll trick Darryl to enter the forest!” he beamed.It was a great idea! They quickly headed to Darryl’s room.Darryl had just finished showering. He was dressed in his pajamas, about to head to bed.Slam! Rachel opened the door without knocking. Darryl swore under his breath and smiled. “My dear sister, what’s the matter?”“Who’s your sister?” Rachel frowned as she asked in detest. Darryl was utterly disgusting to her.Darryl shrugged and asked, “I’m your godbrother. If you’re not my sister, then what are you?”Rachel glared at him. “Dad wants you to meet him at the peach blossom forest,” she scoffed.She had discussed this thoroughly with Ewan. If she mentioned her father, Darryl would not suspect anything.It went as planned. Darryl was slightly stunned and asked, “What does dad want? Also, what is this peach blossom forest?”“Just follow me,” she spat im
Though he had no Internal Energy, he could not sit around and watch Dax die! He loathed Abbess Mother Serendipity and her gang. He had already left Donghai City, yet she still tried to go after him.Darryl was extremely furious. He was about to turn and leave when Rachel called out to him.“Darryl, my dad is still waiting for you. Where are you going?”“Tell dad that something urgent came up!” Darryl said anxiously.“Do you think I’m your messenger?” Rachel snickered. “If there’s anything, you can tell him yourself.”Darryl frowned. “I’ll explain it to him when I’m back.” Dax was in danger. He had to help him.“Move!” Darryl yelled at Rachel.“What if I don’t?” Rachel smirked maliciously.“I said, move!” Darryl shouted once more.Rachel replied coldly, “You’re going nowhere today.” She clapped her hands.Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the corner. It was Ewan.He grabbed Darryl and lifted him up above his head.“What are you doing?” Darryl was caught by surprise. Without
Darryl panicked. If anything happened to Dax, he would regret this for the rest of his life! “Rachel Carter, let me out!” Darryl screamed, but no one replied.“F*ck!” He punched a tree. Seeing as the sun was about to set, he could only walk in a straight line. He thought that the forest was like a maze; as long as he walked in a straight line, he was definitely bound to find the entrance!He walked briskly, yet after half an hour, there was still no entrance in sight. There were only never-ending trees! It was strange. A thirty-minute walk in the Carter Mansion could lead to the entrance, yet he could not get out of the forest. Unless it was some sort of Formation?“F*ck, I don’t believe in that.” Darryl gritted his teeth. He turned on his phone’s torchlight and walked forward again.Back in the Carter Mansion, the Carter family was about to have dinner. Zoran instructed the chef to prepare a feast. Everyone was there except for Darryl.Zoran scanned the table and frowned. “Wh
Zoran stood up immediately. Susan’s face turned white as she asked, “Are you sure you saw footprints?”The peach blossom forest was an intricate Formation! Those who went in would never return!When she married Zoran, she wanted to understand the Formation of the forest. She spent many years researching it, yet she found no solution. A few years ago, several servants went in out of curiosity. They were never seen again.There was no cell signal in the forest, neither could one use their Internal Energy. No matter how strong their Internal Energy was, they could not fly in there! Hence, the Carters set up a colossal tablet a while ago at the forest entrance to prevent people from entering.Darryl could read, so why did he go in? The servant replied dutifully, “Madam, there was really a set of footprints at the entrance of the forest. As for who it belongs to, I’m not so sure.”“What… what should we do now?” Zoran was anxious. He quickly headed toward the forest. He could not le
Zoran stood at the entrance of the peach blossom forest entrance scrutinizing the footprints. There was sand everywhere, and he could not see if it belonged to Darryl or not.He was about to enter the forest when he was pulled back by his servants. One of them said, “Master, we can’t be sure that it was Darryl who entered the forest. What would happen if you got stuck in the forest?”Zoran calmed down at that thought and pondered for a while. “Arrange for people to guard this entrance at all times,” he ordered, “Get someone to search for Darryl outside of this mansion.”“Yes, Master.”Zoran was extremely discouraged. He did not want to believe that the footprints belonged to Darryl, yet all signs pointed to his godson being trapped in the forest.He was anxious and worried.After three days, Darryl was still stuck here, leaning onto a peach blossom tree. His lips were cracked. He almost went insane.He tried all sorts of ways to escape but still failed. Without any Internal Ener
While he drank the water, he felt his leg touch something hard. He thought it was rock, so he bent down to pick it up.Whoosh!The rock surfaced with sounds of water gushing.He was surprised. Turns out it was a small, bronze rectangular cauldron! It was covered with moss from being submerged underwater, but he could still see the exquisite patterns on it.It looked like it was from the Warring States period.What piqued Darryl’s curiosity further was that there was a bronze box in the cauldron. A bronze box, in a cauldron, buried deep underwater in a well? It was fascinating! Darryl did not think twice when he opened the box. He was shocked to find that the box was sealed tightly. No water entered it, and there was a book of bamboo slips inside.What could it be? Darryl flipped the book open. ‘Bai Qi Formations’ was written on the first page.Bai Qi Formation? Darryl’s mind began to buzz with excitement. It was said that the ancient, legendary General Bai Qi was highly skil
