"Father, I was almost captured by Wandering Beasts."
The color drained from Yan Shi's face. His grip on Mi Li's hand tightened fiercely, making her cry out in pain.
Yan Shi snapped back to his senses and let go of Mi Li.
"Mi Li, tell Father what exactly happened."
Mi Li recalled the scene of being captured by those two Wandering Beasts, and she was still terrified.
"A few days ago, on the back mountain, I was almost captured by two Wandering Beasts. But then... I managed to escape on my own."
"What did you say?"
"Father, you've seen Qiao Xixi and her cubs. They're all Wandering Beasts. They must be the ones who lured the other Wandering Beasts here."
Yan Shi's face became as black as the bottom of a pot.
"When I... when I was escaping, Jin Ling suddenly showed up. The moment he arrived, those two Wandering Beasts left. They must be working together."
Yan Shi clenched his fists.
