Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Rescue (2)_1

Fortunately, with her Pure Spirit Physique, Situ Xin dissolved the spiritual energy in less time than an average cultivator, which greatly reduced the risk of her body exploding from the energy overload. However, what Situ Xin didn’t know was that this was only the beginning of the danger.

It should be known that if Situ Xin were to successfully breakthrough, she would enter the Heartbeat Phase. That is the first dangerous stage of cultivation, the heart starts fluttering. Characteristics of the Heartbeat Phase include the lotus forming a unique heart, the pulsing of the two hearts, and confusion over true intentions.

After Situ Xin’s breakthrough into the Heartbeat Phase, the moment she opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with confusion. She didn’t know what was wrong with her, feeling either uninterested in everything around her or as if she were exhausted.

After her breakthrough, her family members helped her take leave from kindergarten. Her family never denied her requests, so from that day on, Situ Xin stayed at home. She either lay in bed or sat staring into space every day. It was unclear what was on her mind. It was fortunate that the attention of Situ Xin’s family was always on Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing, and they regarded Situ Xin’s recent silence as a result of the atmosphere at home, so they didn’t take it to heart.

Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing had been on their mission for a week by now, and there had been phone calls almost every day. Of course, it wasn’t Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing who made the calls, but it was Situ Haoran, who had received news in the military, calling back immediately.

Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing, knowing in advance that the mission might involve a fight, were extremely vigilant. The details of their itinerary were known only to the two of them and not to the rest of the team.

And their caution at the beginning of the mission had achieved significant results. Through their investigations over a few days, they had finally identified some routes used by the drug dealers and found the gambling den without alerting them.

Just as Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing were deciding on when to take action and raid the drug den, the situation took a dramatic turn.

Situ Xin, sitting on the sofa with her head down, apparently lost in thought, suddenly felt a ripple in her divine sense. Then, she sensed that her father and Uncle Xiao were in danger. "Not good, Dad and Uncle Xiao are in trouble," blurted out Situ Xin, who these past days had seemed suddenly uninterested in her surroundings or at times would get lost in the memories of her previous life, as she abruptly came to her senses and looked up.

Situ Xin’s words stunned everyone present. It was Old Master Loo who first snapped out of it and asked, "Baby, what’s wrong? How do you know your dad and Uncle Xiao are in trouble?"

"My intuition told me," Situ Xin then belatedly realized that she had spoken her inner thoughts out loud.

Old Master Situ and the others exchanged glances, not sure what to say or how to react. Seeing that everyone clearly didn’t believe her, but knowing that her dad and Uncle Xiao’s safety were at stake, Situ Xin said anxiously, "Grandfather, Grandpa, my intuition is very sharp." Situ Xin couldn’t tell them that she had extended her divine sense towards them and lost it. If she mentioned that, they would surely think she was half asleep.

What Situ Xin didn’t know was that it was the comforting words from her closest kin that struck a chord deep in her heart, pulling her back to the moment. Had Situ Xin continued in such a state, she would have risked losing her mind due to unstable emotions soon.

"Baby, this can’t be based on intuition," Old Master Situ said, but as soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the house rang. The three old gentlemen looked at each other as if frozen and exchanged glances, before Old Master Situ finally answered the phone.

"Hello." Old Master Situ had just spoken when Situ Haoran’s anxious voice came through, "Dad, I’ve just received news that Haotian and Guobing have been captured by that drug lord."

"What? What did you say?" Old Master Situ’s voice began to tremble. "Didn’t they just send a message this morning saying everything was normal and they were preparing to start the arrest operation in the afternoon? How could it suddenly turn out that the two of them were captured? What the hell is going on?" Old Master Situ roared into the phone.

"I’m not quite clear on the specifics. Dad, wait for me. We are about to have a meeting about this, and I’ll call you after I come out," Situ Haoran hurriedly explained as he had just snatched a few minutes before entering the meeting room, so without waiting for Old Master Situ to say more, he hung up.

"Situ, what happened? Haotian, did something happen to Guobing?" Even Old Master Loo, usually calm in a crisis, changed color.

"Yes, Haoran just got the news that Haotian and Guobing got captured by drug traffickers," Old Master Situ said, and a sudden "bang" was heard. They turned to see Old Madam Situ’s tea cup fall to the ground and shatter.

"Old Master, what, what did you just say?" Old Madam Situ had just heard Old Master Situ’s words, so she suddenly froze.

"Old lady, don’t panic. This isn’t confirmed yet," Old Master Situ hadn’t expected Old Madam Situ to have such a strong reaction. Situ Xin also hurried over to help Old Madam Situ sit down in a nearby chair.

While everyone knew that Situ Haotian and Xiao Guobing had been captured, nobody knew exactly what had happened, so they could only sit and wait for Situ Haoran to finish his meeting and call them with details.

After Situ Xin’s previous bad premonition, her divine sense hadn’t fluctuated at all. Situ Xin knew that her father and Uncle Xiao were in no immediate danger temporarily. But she was puzzled about their capture. Remembering the Attack Talisman they carried, she realized what she had always forgotten to consider: the Attack Talismans only activated when someone attacked the bearer. Like during a previous military drill when someone shot at Situ Haotian, only then did the talisman exert its power. Clearly, this time the drug dealers hadn’t fired any shots.
