Ruan Yu didn't know whether the miasma was poisonous or not, so just in case, she put on several soul shields for herself and Cai Tao.

"The miasma is harmless, don't worry." When the Sky-peeking Mirror saw her actions, the corners of its mouth twitched twice.

"Oh." Ruan Yu removed his shield.

In fact, she didn't really want to hold up the soul shield. It was broad daylight, with people coming and going, and she and Cai Tao seemed like exceptions.

"The yard in front is where my parents live." Cai Tao took Ruan Yu straight to a simple yard. The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost higher than the knees, and it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

Even Cai Tao herself hardly recognized this place anymore.

"Dad, Mom?" She walked to the door and found it was slightly ajar, so Cai Tao called out uncertainly.

A violent coughing sound came from the inner room: "Cough cough... Tao, Tao'er? Is that you?"

"Dad!" Cai Tao burst into tears upon hearing that and pushed the door open and ran in.

Ruan Yu followed behind.

After entering the room, Ruan Yu was shocked by the situation inside.

Not to mention the broken furniture, Cai's father was completely paralyzed on the bed. Cai Tao threw himself on the bedside. He struggled to get up, but it was in vain.

"How could this happen? Dad, who made you like this? Our family, why did our family become like this!" Cai Tao cried and trembled while holding her father's hand.

Cai's father smiled bitterly. He said nothing but changed the subject. He looked at Ruan Yu and asked, "Tao'er, ahem... ahem, who is this?"

"She is my good friend, Ruan Yu. By the way, Ruan Yu is an alchemist, I'll ask her to help you." When Cai Tao stood up with the help of the edge of the bed, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down to Ruan Yu.

Fortunately, Ruan Yu was close by and reached out to help.

As their eyes met, Cai Tao asked in a voice transmission, "Is my father's condition affected by the miasma?"

"Someone poisoned it." Ruan Yu replied.

After saying that, Ruan Yu walked to the bedside and said, "Uncle, please stretch out your hand."

Cai's father refused to cooperate no matter what.

Ruan Yu probably knew that Cai's father didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his daughter, "Cai Tao, go out first."

"Okay." Cai Tao looked at her father with pity, then walked out and closed the door.

"You are Tao'er's good friend, so I won't hide it from you. My illness cannot be cured... ahem!" Cai's father stretched out a hand from under the quilt.

All that was left was dry and dark skin, like a dead branch.

At first glance, it looks no different from a burnt stick.

"It seems that uncle knows who poisoned Cai's father." Ruan Yu took out a silver needle and poked it on Cai's father's finger. Ink-black blood oozed out of the wound.

"I don't know, I know nothing. Go away, take Tao'er away, cough cough... Never, never come back again, cough cough..." Cai's father looked excited, and then he coughed again. This time, he coughed up blood.

I didn't notice it before, but now I look carefully and find that the quilt is black, with spots of blood on it.

Ruan Yu ignored him and activated his dark soul power to enter Cai's father's body and began to devour the poison in his body.

Cai's father also obviously noticed the abnormality in his body. He was surprised that Ruan Yu had such a special way to expel poison.

"Open your mouth." After the poison was absorbed, Cai's father stopped coughing up blood. Ruan Yu took out some healing pills from the space, crushed them into powder, put them in a bowl, added some cold spring water, and stirred them.

"Ah..." Cai's father didn't want to drink.

But Ruan Yu's words were imperative, and he subconsciously cooperated.

After drinking a bowl of water, he finally realized what was happening and his face flushed, "You...! Didn't I tell you that my disease can't be cured? Why are you wasting your energy?"

"Uncle, are you still feeling chest tightness, shortness of breath, and lack of strength now?" Ruan Yu silently put the bowl on the table with missing legs.

Cai's father's reaction time was very long, and he was stunned for a while before realizing that the poison that tortured him so much pain seemed to have been really cured!

"I'm fine? I'm really fine?!" He was ecstatic.

He jumped out of bed and ran around the room several times.

Hearing the noise, Cai Tao wiped her tears and ran in.

The father and daughter smiled at each other, then hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Dad, I'm so glad you're okay! Wuuwuwu, Ruan Yu, thank you!"

"Tao'er, what are you talking about? How could Dad be in trouble?"

Because of the medicine, Cai's father's complexion gradually returned to normal.

The shriveled skin and flesh regained its color, but unfortunately, the long-term lack of nutrition cannot be replenished by a few pills.

Ruan Yu reminded: "Don't cry, let your father eat something, he is almost starving to death."

After the voice fell, Cai Tao let go of Cai Fu, only to see that Cai Fu's cheeks were sunken, and it was obvious that he had been hungry for a long time.

Her tears burst out again: "Dad...I, I will do it for you."

After sending Cai Tao away, Ruan Yu stared at Cai's father motionlessly.

"Now you still don't want to give out the person behind this?"

Cai's father turned around as if he was sitting on pins and needles and faced Ruan Yu: "Some things are beyond human control. I concealed the truth for your own good and for the good of the Cai family."

"Child, don't ask anymore. Believe me, knowing the truth will do you no good."

"So you just let the other party poison you, making you suffer day and night?" Ruan Yu asked in disbelief.

Cai's father lowered his head and said nothing.

Ruan Yu continued, "You are not the only one who is in trouble, right? All of you in the first house can't escape. Cai Tao is not of the Cai family's bloodline, so she is not affected. What about Cai Xia and Cai Ying?"

"No, it's enough for me to suffer alone. That person said that my children will not be implicated!" Cai's father's eyes turned red, and he growled in pain, "How do you know so much? What else do you know?"

"You are not a fool. You should be able to sense that the fortune of the first wife is declining."

Ruan Yu's words made Cai's father's heart sink.

How could he not know? The once glorious house was now like a dead dog, curled up in a corner, barely surviving.

It was fine in the past few years, but in recent years, accidents have happened frequently.

First, his lover broke her leg and became disabled, and then his son was killed by a monster on the battlefield, leaving no trace! He was afraid that his daughters would also be implicated, so he was willing to sacrifice himself and made a deal with that man!

Fortunately, his daughters were safe and sound, so his efforts were worth it.

That's good enough.

"This is our Cai family's business and has nothing to do with you. Please go away." Cai's father said with gritting his teeth.

"The ones whose luck has been taken away are all from you, the first family. Do you think that you can bear it all by yourself?" Ruan Yu laughed at Cai's father's naivety.

After saying that, she slammed the door and left.

The already dilapidated wooden door could no longer hold up and shattered to the ground.

As soon as Ruan Yu left, Cai's father immediately bent down and picked his throat.
