Dark Tide

Late at night.

Within a pavilion of the Cui Clan, shrouded in restrictive power.

After hearing what his daughter Cui Jingyan had seen and heard that night, Cui Chang'an's expression shifted uncertainly.

The Third Elder was actually a traitor!?

It had to be said, this news had caught Cui Chang'an completely off guard.

Cui Jingyan glanced at her father worriedly and consoled him, "Father, don't be angry. Young Master Su said that for now, we should act as though we know nothing, lest we startle the snake in the grass. Only by following the vine can we catch everything in one net."

Cui Chang'an was startled and could not help looking at his daughter again. Then he said with gratification, "You girl, you've actually learned how to comfort your father. You truly have grown up."

A little embarrassed, Cui Jingyan said, "These were all Young Master Su's instructions. I... I merely relayed them to Father."

Cui Chang'an smiled. "Go back and rest first. I already know about these matters."

Cui Jingyan nodded, rose, and departed.

Once Cui Chang'an was left alone, his expression gradually darkened. His eyes flickered, and an uncontrollable killing intent rose between his brows.

"Those bastards—do they truly think Father can no longer return alive?"

When disaster loomed, each bird flew its own way.

Cui Chang'an did not fear foreign enemies,
