That night, in Mr. Shen’s study.

Having encountered so many things right after leaving the customs, Mr. Shen had a headache and couldn't sleep, holding two walnuts in his hand.

Wang Shun was standing nearby, looking at Mr. Shen's headache and sighing, "Master, you did go too far, but there is still room for recovery, so the head of the family doesn't have to worry too much."

"It's more than excessive," Old Master Shen's eyes widened with anger, "He simply makes me lose face! How can I face... that person!"

Old Master Shen stood up suddenly. The candlelight in the room flickered, but it was pitch black outside and nothing could be seen clearly.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a black cloak walked in, meeting Mr. Shen's surprised eyes.

"Why is it you? What are you doing here?" After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Shen sensed something was wrong and frowned. "Who are you?"

Facing Mr. Shen's questioning, the man seemed unhurried and only said: "Seven years ago, Lucheng, Tuocang Mountain."

Mr. Shen straightened his body and said seriously, "Wang Shun, you go out first."

Wang Shun withdrew at the right time and closed the door of the study.

Mr. Shen's expression suddenly became respectful: "Why are you here? And you look like... this?"

"It's just the price of the Four Symbols Primordial Array." The man's face was hidden in the darkness, and his voice was a little hoarse. "I asked you to take care of her, and this is how you take care of her?"

Mr. Shen was a little embarrassed: "...I'm sorry, I didn't expect Shen Feng to be so petty. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

"Only Shen Feng?" The visitor raised his head slightly, looking at him sharply, "From Shen Feng and Shen Xianyue to servants and maids, anyone in the Shen family can scold her. Do you know what kind of life she has been living these years?"

Mr. Shen is old and has always had a bad temper and speaks his mind, but at this moment he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head and just lowered his head in silence.

"If I could take action, why would I..." The man stopped talking halfway.

He was silent for a long time, the wax dripped slowly, and in the dim room, the relaxing silence made the tense atmosphere even more intense.

He chuckled and said, "Anyway, the seven-year period has come to an end, and she has returned. Our agreement ends here."

"You can either compensate her or drive her away, it's up to you. Anyway, she can live well after leaving the Shen family."

"How could I chase her away!" Old Master Shen's voice suddenly rose. "The Shen family owed her these years. If I chased her away again, I would feel guilty. Besides, I have already regarded her as my own granddaughter!"

In response, he sneered, his tone still leisurely, as if he didn't care about Mr. Shen's attitude: "I said, it's up to you, naturally, it's up to me too."

Mr. Shen said hurriedly: "I will teach Feng'er and Yue'er a lesson, can you please... let them go."

As he spoke, he felt that the smile on the visitor's lips was full of sarcasm, and there was also mockery beneath the calm surface of his eyes.

But he had no other choice but to continue to say: "No matter what, at least objectively we helped Mianmian come back..."

"It certainly helped." He interrupted calmly, "He let her suffer humiliation for so many years, and then killed her at the right time. No matter how you put it, it was just as the Four Symbols Divination had predicted."

"We are the ones who let her down." Old Master Shen sighed, "I will definitely make it up to her."

After that, he asked again: "By the way...should I tell her about her life story?"

"No... I want to tell her in person." The visitor lowered his eyes, then looked up at Mr. Shen, "Help me keep this secret. This is my last request to you."

The word "request" made Mr. Shen smile bitterly: "You saved me, this life has long been yours, let alone such a small matter."

Although he said so, he also knew that he was in the wrong and was afraid that he had already lost the trust of that person.

The visitor didn't say anything more and left quietly.

Wang Shun pushed open the door and came in: "Master...was that Mr. Qu just now?"

"It's him, for sure. I thought he had long since left Longxuan Empire, but I didn't expect him to be here all this time."

Old Master Shen sighed: "What a sin! These little bastards never let me rest at all. Now I have become a villain who repays kindness with enmity!"

"Don't be angry, Patriarch. It's not too late now. Patriarch is good to Fifth Miss. Fifth Miss will naturally understand it, and Mr. Qu will also know it."

Mr. Shen waved his hands: "Forget it, this is the only way now."
