Watching as Chen Quan Yu's father walked in like a rotten tree, for a moment, I felt like I was shrouded in fog, I could not even tell if what was in front of me was reality or a dream.
One thing was certain, Chen Quan Yu's father was dead.
But why was he here? Why was he here again?
"Wait a moment." Grandpa Chen said with a serious expression and a calm voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Quan Yu's father, who had a ashen face and a bark on his face, stood blankly on the spot, as if he could really hear Grandpa Chen's words.
Yi Yun did not say anything as he indifferently looked at Grandpa Chen.
Grandpa Chen didn't look at Yi Yun, but coldly stared at the intimidating and trembling Da Niu.
Although Da Niu was also very frightened, he was still a man from the countryside. He had some guts. His face was pale and cold sweat dripped down his body. He was almost unable to speak.
As for Lan Xiang, she screamed and fainted. She was lying on the ground like a soft cotton bag.
After Grandpa Chen glanced at Da Niu, he turned to look at the two images placed in the center of the mourning hall. He let out a long sigh as his face turned extremely gloomy. It was as if he had aged several dozen years in an instant.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Grandpa Chen suddenly said as he stood in front of the portrait with his back hunched over and his walking stick fixed in place.
"I'll keep watching." Yi Yun smiled faintly.
"This is my family matter, it has nothing to do with you!" Grandpa Chen's voice was low, not giving Yi Yun any face at all.
"Family matters?"
However, Grandpa Chen's words completely changed the meaning of his words. As far as I know, Grandpa Chen doesn't have any children or relatives, so how could this be his family's business?
However, the atmosphere wasn't suitable for me to ask about this. I could only suppress my doubts and turn to look at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun faintly smiled, his eyebrows knitted together as he chuckled, "As far as I know, in our line of work, the closest loved ones are only teachers and disciples. Where did this come from?"
However, Yi Yun's words did not receive any response.
Grandpa Chen let out a long sigh, his walking stick heavily placed on the ground for a few times, letting out muffled sounds of "tug", he then turned around to look at the tightly tied up Chen Quan Yu's corpse, old tears flowing down his face.
Looking at this, I was even more shocked, thinking, could it be that Grandpa Chen really has some sort of blood relation with this Chen Quan Yu?
My heart thumped. Right, both of them have the surname of Chen!
"You wretched couple, you caused the death of my brother and my nephew, I want you to repay me with your lives!"
Just at this moment, Grandpa Chen's body straightened and his expression became sad. He reached out his walking stick and pointed at Da Niu with red eyes and roared.
At this moment, Da Niu's expression changed. The muscles on his face began to twitch as if he had been hit by a wind. However, this process didn't take long.
After a moment of panic, Da Niu calmed down. He glanced at Chen Quan Yu's corpse and laughed: "Old man, you better not wrongly accuse a good person. Lan Xiang and I are fair, the death of these two men has nothing to do with me."
"Is that so?"
Grandpa Chen let out a malevolent smile. His calm and composed manner before disappeared in a flash as he nodded his head hatefully: "If I wasn't lacking, I would have broken your path of reincarnation."
If you have the guts, just try it yourself, it looks like Da Niu is giving it his all, he laughed fiercely, and actually stood up, wiping the sweat off his face, and said: "This Chen Quan Yu is not a good person, he actually used a tyrannical method to snatch my Lanxiang, I can't wait for him to die, now the heaven has opened its eyes, his Chen family is doomed."
At this point, Da Niu threw his head back and laughed. He looked very crazy.
Grandpa Chen's eyes were cold and harsh. His wrinkled cheeks were high and he was obviously angry to the extreme.
This process didn't take long. In the end, Grandpa Chen laughed instead of getting angry, his eyes full of murderous intent. He took out a cloth bag the size of a fist from his chest, looking like it was full of bags.
"Stop!"
But at this moment, Yi Yun spoke up.
He lightly walked over and stretched out his hand to stop Grandpa Chen, pressing down on the hand that was about to open the cloth bag.
"What do you mean?"
Grandfather Chen's face was filled with anger as he stared at Yi Yun, as if he was about to start a fight.
"There is no need to pay such a huge price to deal with such people." Yi Yun smiled. Under Grandpa Chen's puzzled eyes, he spoke softly as if he knew all about Da Niu and Lan Xiang's actions.
"Then what?" Grandpa Chen's attitude eased up a bit.
"Mu Fan, come here." As the two of them spoke, Yi Yun actually turned around and waved at me.
Despite my confusion, I still walked in front of him.
"Let him do the first thing." Yi Yun patted my shoulder.
Hearing this, I was even more surprised. What does he mean by this?
However, before I could express my attitude, Grandpa Chen unexpectedly nodded his head and looked at me with a face full of expectation.
"Put this on." After the two had finished their discussion, Yi Yun took out a bracelet from his pocket and handed it to me. I took a closer look and realized it was actually the bracelet my grandfather had carved for me.
When I saw this, my heart chilled even more. I clearly remembered that when my father died, this bracelet was held in my hand. Thus, when I buried my father, I didn't take it away from him and instead buried it with my father.
But, why was this thing in Yi Yun's hands?
"Why is it in your hands?" I couldn't help but ask, and at the same time felt a little angry, thinking that he couldn't have dug up my father's grave. If that was the case, then no matter who he was or what his purpose was, even if I couldn't beat him, I would have to at least bite off a piece of his flesh.
Grabbing the slightly cold Sophora Flower Handchain in my hand, my heart was filled with emotions. In an instant, my mood dropped once again. I stared hatefully at Yi Yun, waiting for his reply.
Yi Yun faintly smiled as he patted me on the shoulder. "Little fellow, don't worry. This is something your grandfather specially prepared for you. If your father were to take it, it would only bring harm."
I believed him, but he dug my father's grave anyway. I could not bear it, so I asked him again, "How did you get it?"
"Here." Yi Yun smiled helplessly as he turned around and pointed outside the mourning hall.
I looked carefully and saw that the black cat was standing at the entrance of the mourning hall, looking at us like a loyal listener.
My scalp tingled. This cat was really weird. Then, out of anger, I picked up the bench and threw it towards the black cat.
The black cat lightly jumped, easily dodging the attack, but it was not scared and left. It then returned to the front door of the mourning hall.
"Fan Youzi, don't be rash. It's here to help you." Grandfather Chen had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the black cat.
"Help my ass, this animal dug up my father's grave, I have to skin it!" How could I take this in? I extended my hand to grab Grandpa Chen's walking stick.
Yi Yun saw that Grandpa Chen couldn't stop me and made a strange sound.
When the black cat heard this, it did not retreat but advanced instead. It unexpectedly transformed into a black bolt of lightning, dashing into the mourning hall, directly towards the dazed Da Niu.
Caught off guard, Da Niu was unexpectedly thrown to the ground by the foot long black cat. He roared furiously and swung his palm-leaf fan like palm at the black cat.
The slap was about to hit the black cat, but the cat was very agile and didn't give Da Niu any chance. "Meow!" It jumped up and used its sharp claws to scratch Da Niu's face.
After hearing Da Niu's angry shout, a few red scratches appeared on his face. He covered his face and was about to rush out of the mourning hall.
But at this moment, the black cat jumped again and directly held onto Da Niu's head. Its red and coarse tongue/head lightly licked Da Niu's face.
At that moment, Newton's body stiffened and he stood unsteadily on the spot, as though he was drunk.
Just when I was surprised, a strange aura came out of Da Niu's body. This aura was a bit cold, yet also a bit ambiguous. For a moment, it was hard to tell what was going on.
At the same time, a faint shadow appeared from Da Niu's body. When I looked closely, I saw that it was grey and looked exactly the same as Chen Jianyu's ghost.
