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
Thud!Once he escaped the forest, he fell and sat on the ground. He had not eaten in almost a week, surviving only on water—he was hungry and exhausted.Nevertheless, he was elated. At least he survived! “Young Master?”“...Young Master appeared!” One of the servants exclaimed. They were extremely shocked as if they saw a ghost.“Quick, let Master know!” one of them screamed.Darryl felt weak. He gritted his teeth, fished his phone out, and made a call to Dax.He could not reach Dax, so he called Nancy—it was the same; they turned off both their phones.‘F*ck you, Rachel Carter. If anything were to happen to Dax, I will never forgive you!’ Darryl swore.He grunted. He could only get someone else in Donghai City to check up on Dax. At that, he called Zephyr Dixon. He picked up the call within three seconds.“Master!” Zephyr greeted excitedly. “Where have you been? We’ve been trying to contact you, Master! We have good news. The Elysium Gate sect has close to three thousand fo
The fact that his godson came out alive was a miracle.Darryl smiled. “Auntie Susan, I don’t know how I came out. I got lost in it, but I just randomly walked about, then I found the entrance. I guess it was just pure luck,” he said nonchalantly.He was not going to tell how he mastered the Bai Qi Formations.Just as he said that, the crowd started discussing excitedly—Darryl was fortunate, he could manage to exit the peach blossom forest just by randomly walking.Susan laughed, “That’s amazing. You have to know, we were worried about you for many days! You must be exhausted. Go get some rest!” She looked at him with concern. In fact, she was trying to distract Darryl, not giving her husband a chance to ask Darryl anything.However, Zoran still questioned him. “Darryl, there was a huge sign at the forest entrance stating that it was forbidden to enter. How did you get in?”‘Damn it!’ Susan trembled. Her worst fear came true.At the same time, Darryl’s phone rang. He put down his
Susan walked toward his bed and sat on it. She looked at Darryl and asked, “Darryl, you seemed weak when you first came out of the forest. How are you feeling now?”Darryl was stunned. If Susan came all the way to his room to ask how he felt, why did she lock the door? “I feel much better after a great meal,” he chuckled.Susan nodded and smiled. “That’s a relief.”They looked at each other for some time, sitting together in silence. Darryl could take it no longer. He laughed awkwardly and asked, “Auntie Susan, is there anything I could help you with?”Susan bit her lip. She came here for Rachel. If Darryl had spread the news about how Rachel tricked him into entering the forest, she would definitely be beaten to death by her father. She had to stop him no matter what.She gritted her teeth and poured Darryl a cup of tea. She walked towards him and offered him the cup. “Darryl, here. Have some tea.”What? Darryl was slightly caught off guard. He looked at her in confusion and
Whip!This whip was heavier than the previous one. Jean felt that it was not enough; she became berserk.Whip! Whip! Whip! The sound echoed throughout the backyard of the Darby Mansion. Dax could not take it any longer. “F*ck all of you!” he screamed. “You watch out, I’ll make sure to kill you when I get out!” “You dare talk back?” Jean frowned. She said coldly, “Fine, you can take it, right? Then I’ll whip your wife and grandfather!”Nancy let out a bloodcurdling shriek as Jean whipped her shoulder. Dax completely lost it—he was wild and furious. He tried to loosen himself, but it was impossible. He was bound to the stake tightly.Jean smiled malevolently. “Dax, say, if I whip your grandfather, would you feel bad for him?” At that, she raised her hand, aiming at Saul. “No!” Dax yelled hysterically, his voice was hoarse. He looked at the whip coming down in slow motion, yet he could do nothing to help.“Stop!” A voice interrupted, and a dagger flew past her. The blade sla
