I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 557

“I never told anyone this because my dad returned not because he was strong, but because he was weak. He was a hero for his whole life and I had never seen him cry out of fear. But on that night, my dad was wailing and screaming! My dad had always been my hero, but ever since that night, my faith in him was shaken. What could possibly have made my dad become like that? What exactly happened at the Holy Water Ritual? I have to find out so I did everything by any means necessary to become stronger. I was afraid of failure!” Mo Canglong’s rims were red by now.

“So from what your dad meant, the people that joined the Holy Water Ritual were not dead but were brought to another place?” Chen Hao asked, bewildered.

This was similar to what happened to Su Tongxin. She had received a token like the Holy Water Order and had vanished without a trace.

All along, Chen Hao had suspected that Su Tongxin wasn’t killed but was taken away instead.

Now, what Mo Canglong said confirmed his suspicion.

Were they really taken away after receiving the Holy Water Order or the tokens with the Sun symbol?

But the world is such a big place, where could they be?

“There is a place that my father dared not go,” Mo Canglong said.

Then, he knelt down, begging, “Please, let me die at the Holy Water Ritual!”

Chen Hao was speechless. This old man could really do just about anything!

“I would spare your life upon three conditions,” Chen Hao said coldly.

“Go ahead!”

“Firstly, every time a member of the Mo Family sees that of the Chen Family, they would avoid them.”

“I-I promise!”

“Secondly, before the Holy Water Ritual officially begins, if you were to step out of the Mo residence, I will kill you. Just so you know, you are no match for me now,” Chen Hao said coldly.

“I understand, I won’t go anywhere!” Mo Canglong promised hastily.

“Lastly, your Magical Mirror will temporarily be in my possession.”

On that note, Chen Hao waved his hand and the Magical Mirror in Mo Canglong’s hand flew into his own.

“Also, I have planted a Gu worm in your body. Don’t even try to force it out. If you violate any of these three conditions, this Gu worm will devour your insides. Of course, if you insist on forcing it out, it’d be suicide for you,” Chen Hao said coldly.

“What?” Mo Canglong’s mouth twitched.

This Chen Hao is too cruel!

He might as well kill me now!

Alas, Mo Canglong had no other choice. He had to live.

“F-Fine, I promise!”

“Now, leave!” Chen Hao waved his hand.

He let Mo Canglong go not because he was merciful.

He did it because Chen Hao’s grandfather knew nothing about the Holy Water Ritual and it was his first time attending it.

He had to play safe and keep someone who knew about the Holy Water Ritual around him.

Nobody knew what would happen at the Holy Water Ritual.

Mo Canglong was the perfect candidate.

Now that he had control over him, no matter how cunning Mo Canglong was, he had to remain honest around Chen Hao.

It was less than three months before the Holy Water Ritual would begin.

Chen Hao still needed to solve the mystery behind the Longevity Coffin.

Furthermore, even though he had already surpassed the state of a Grandmaster, he wasn’t sure if the prophecy about his death would come true.

Hence, Chen Hao left the desert quickly.

He then arrived at a small town.

Along the road, Chen Hao tried to look for Qin Ya but there were no traces of them.

Some remaining tracks indicated that they had already left the desert.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Hao found them at the North Sand Inn.

But, many had already left.

Only a handful of people from the tour group stayed behind as well as a girl from the inspection team.

It appeared that she stayed and was working at the inn.

“Chen Hao, it’s so great to see you!”

The girl’s rims turned red as soon as she saw Chen Hao.

“Miss Qin Ya, why are you still here? I already told you, I’m not Chen Hao. I’m Chen Xuan,” Chen Hao corrected her.
