The professor followed Huo Mian to a quiet corner.

“What is it, Mian?”

“Dad, do you trust me?”

“What are you talking about, child...”

“Dad, just tell me. Do you trust me?”

“Of course, I trust you. Mian, even though you were not by my side when you grew up and didn’t spend as much time with me as Yan, you’re both my daughters. My love for you is the same. Don’t doubt that.”

“I don’t doubt it. Dad, I just want to... confirm something with you.”

“What is it?”

After a long silence, Huo Mian asked in a low voice, “Dad, do you know... where Red Demon is?”

Hearing the mention of Red Demon, the professor’s expression changed drastically.

“Mian, who told you that?”

“Qin Chu and I have been wanting to get it...”

Huo Mian had to lie to him since she couldn’t expose Lin Ya.

“Tell me how you and Chu know about Red Demon.”

“We... Dad, don’t ask me that. If you trust me, please tell me where the Red Demon is...”

“Mian, why do you want Red Demon?” The professor demanded solemnly.

“I... I have my purpose for it.”

“Did someone blackmail you?”

“No.”

“Mian, you still don’t want to tell me the truth...?” The professor was piqued.

Huo Mian’s eyes were evasive, which showed that she was hiding something.

But she just wouldn’t tell him what was wrong.

In this world, only a few people knew about Red Demon.

Lu Yan knew it but had never mentioned it. Why did Mian bring it up?

“Dad, please don’t ask. If you trust me, please tell me...”

“Mian, I trust you. But I can’t tell you about Red Demon... I don’t want you or Yan to get involved in it. Truly, I don’t want you to have anything to do with it.”

“Dad...”

“You must be exhausted after all the excitement tonight. Go and get some rest.”

The professor stopped her from saying more about it.

Seeing how Lin Ya wanted the thing and how her dad refused to talk about it, Huo Mian knew Red Demon must be a very mysterious and important thing.

Discouraged, Huo Mian walked back, looking tired.

“Messiah, take Mian back to her room. She’s pregnant and tired.”

“Yes, Master.”

Seeing Huo Mian failed, Lin Ya didn’t want to waste time on it.

“Mom, where’s my sister’s room? I want to sleep in her room, too.”

Lu Yan was still in euphoria from being with her family.

“Your sister is pregnant and gets tired easily. She needs to get rest, but you and your dad can stay and chat with me over fruits and flower tea.”

“Haha. Great. I love tea.”

Lu Yan agreed to Lin Ya’s suggestion.

Glancing at Lu Yan and their dad with complicated feelings inside, Huo Mian followed Messiah out.

When they were out of the room, Huo Mian dumped her disguise and showed her sulky face.

“Miss Mian...” Messiah was about to say something.

“Messiah, tell your master that I asked but my dad refused to tell me. I can’t do anything about it.”

“Okay. I’ll tell the Master.”

“Messiah...”

“Yeah?”

“Do you know what Red Demon is?” Huo Mian wondered what this mysterious thing was. Maybe Messiah, Lin Ya’s trusted servant, knew something about it.
