Deep in the night, the gentle moonlight shone through the window onto Qi Mu. She had her hands around her knees as she hugged herself. Her pitch-black eyes were downcast as she thought about what had happened today. She said in her heart:

"Ever since she was young, her education has taught her that there are no ghosts or gods in this world. What about that monk? Who is he? Is it a god or an immortal or a Buddha? Sigh, he wasn't an ordinary monk after all.

That monk said, this walk of his is Boundless? Where was he going? Back to modern times? Will he come back? Why did he want to save her? "What is her cause and effect? If she can't pass the third tribulation, what will happen to her? Also, whose debt does she owe …"

He couldn't help but let out a light sigh as he used his fingertips to support his shiny forehead. He gently swayed his fingers left and right, as if he was trying to get rid of the entanglement on his mind. However, his gaze inadvertently swept across the sleeping figures in front of him.

In order for her to have a good rest, they let Yang Yang sleep with them. Thus, the four of them slept together in the same bed, but luckily, it was a bit crowded, but luckily, they slept pretty well, and the burden in Qi Mu's heart was also less.

Qi Mu looked across from him. Yang Lili was probably overly worried during the day. Even when she was asleep, her eyebrows were still tightly knitted together. A faint trace of unease appeared on her beautiful face. Qi Mu pursed her lips.

As for the others, Ye Dazhuang was hugging Xiao Yiran, curled up and sleeping soundly. Yang Yang's little fat foot was placed on Ye Dazhuang's waist, and the family slept soundly, which was indeed very cute.

The monk's words weighed heavily on Qi Mu's heart. It was clearly late at night, but she was completely awake. After thinking for a moment, Qi Mu dressed himself and put on another coat before tiptoeing out of bed and walking towards the tightly shut door.

She might as well learn from the ancients and go out for a night of candlelight and poetry. On this ancient night, the stars would revolve around the moon, bright and peaceful, a very beautiful sight to behold. It was a rare night to travel once every thousand years, she did not want to let down this endless night.

"Grandfather?" "Grandfather."

When Qi Mu gently pushed open the door, the figure of the Ye family's old patriarch sitting alone under the big tree in the second house appeared before her eyes. It was already late at night. Why hadn't her lucky grandpa slept? Qi Mu blinked and after confirming that there was no mistake, he smiled mischievously before dashing forward to greet them.

"Who is it? "Mu lass?"

Old Man Ye was suddenly frightened by Qi Mu's hand on his shoulder and shouted. When Qi Mu made a "hush" gesture and thought that everyone else in the second room was still sleeping, he lowered his voice and said,

"Little girl, why aren't you sleeping at this time of the night? Are you trying to scare your grandfather to death in the middle of the night?"

Qi Mu quickly sat down on the floor next to Ye Zichen, smiled, and said loudly:

"Isn't grandpa getting stronger and stronger with age? I'm just a girl, how can I scare you like that? "Besides, I can't sleep in the middle of the night. What is grandpa doing in the middle of the night?"

Old Man Ye stretched out a rough finger and lightly knocked on Qi Mu's forehead as he smiled and said:

"I only said a single sentence to you and you actually replied with my big basket. Those who don't know it, I thought you were the old man of the family."

"What old man?" Is there an old man in our family? How come I've never seen my granddaughter before? All of them are tall and strong, and are very handsome. "

As Qi Mu spoke to the Ye family's old patriarch, he made exaggerated gestures with his hands. The smile in the Ye family's old patriarch's eyes deepened as he smiled and said:

"All eighteen generations of our ancestors were honest. When it comes to your generation, you actually came up with such a glib tongue. Tell me honestly, it's the middle of the night. Why are you out if you're not sleeping?" Don't tell me that you've had thoughts and came out to meet a lover while hiding them from your parents? "

Ye Chonglou's gaze sized up Qi Mu, as if he was an expert spy. Despite knowing that her lucky grandpa was doing it on purpose, Qi Mu's cheeks were suffused with a faint blush.

"Grandfather doesn't like to laugh, and doesn't like the council. I always felt that grandfather was a proper person, but I never thought that he was this improper. Even my granddaughter couldn't sleep at night, came out for a look at the moon, and blew the wind, yet he still used to make fun of me like this.

"Hmph, if I really don't have anyone left, then I'll just stay at home for the rest of my life and not leave."

"If you don't want to leave, then don't! "I still can't bear to part with such a clever girl like you, but to let someone else marry you for nothing. Keep it well, keep it well …"

"… …"

After the grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed for a while, they both raised their heads and looked at the night scene that was bestowed by the heavens.

Ye Chonglou looked at his granddaughter's innocent and innocent face and sighed in his heart. If only he was a boy, then she would be able to make a name for herself, and the Ye family wouldn't be in a bad mood then.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chonglou eventually reached his hand into his pocket, took out a yellowed envelope, and handed it to Qi Mu.

"Grandfather, what's this?"

He carefully took out the letter inside the envelope and looked at the heavenly script. With a bitter face, Qi Mu looked towards the old man. Right now, she was a real 'illiterate', and could only read a few words. This letter … What does grandpa mean by this?

"Girl, you also have times when you can't do it?"

The Ye family's old patriarch looked at the bitter face of Qi Mu. He didn't forget to make fun of Qi Mu before explaining and said slowly,

"Didn't you say that you want to learn how to read and write?"

When Qi Mu heard the Ye family's old patriarch's words, his heart was moved. He thought that his grandfather wouldn't care about her words. That day, he clearly … Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly. With a joyful frown, he carefully said:

"Can you teach me to read?"

Noticing Qi Mu's disbelieving expression, the Ye family's old patriarch felt his heart ache. This little girl was probably the one who wanted to go to school the most in the Ye family. He was truly a good descendant of the Ye Family!

He smiled, looked at Qi Mu with eyes full of kindness and care, and said:

"Didn't I tell you? "In the past, our Ye family was also very prosperous. We have spent almost all of our family assets and still have some leftover debts. In the past, your great-grandparents helped a lot of people, and among them, the person who wrote this letter was one of them."

"This was written by a scholar. When he went to the capital to take the exam, he was given the paper by your great-grandparents, and the scholar wept tears of gratitude. Before he left, he left behind a letter, which said: If there is a day when he has the name of the Proclamation of Golden Distinction, he will definitely report it to the Ouroboros Clan."

"And today, that scholar has already made his name. The best boy academy in Wutong Town, you know? The Empire of Donghua was famous! He is the Head of the Academy. Regarding the matter of the entire Academy, he is the one who keeps his word. "

"Tell me, is the weight of this letter enough for you to learn a few words?"

When Qi Mu heard this, he hugged the letter and laughed in a silly manner for a while. However, a moment later, he frowned his head and raised his eyes to ask:

"However, if that person was sincere and wanted to repay the favor, he would have already done so. Why wait until now?"

What he meant was that the scholar had been gone for so many years and had not come to repay his gratitude. Could he be an ungrateful person? If that was the case, what was the use of her eagerly taking the letter? What a joke and a waste of her time!

Ye Chonglou smiled towards Qi Mu and said affirmatively:

"No way, that person has a conscience. He came to our house before. I moved my entire family to Niu Manor and purposely avoided him many times. That's why we haven't contacted each other for so many years."

"Then why did grandfather avoid it?"

"You are still young and don't understand how difficult this is to deal with. At that time, our family was in decline, how many eyes were fixated on our family. He just had a foothold, we can't drag him down …"

"So that's how it is. The purple sandalwood chairs in the main hall are not something that ordinary people can have. I was wondering before, now I think, it must have been brought to this Niu Manor together, right?"

Ye Chonglou's tone changed, but the more he looked at his granddaughter, the happier he became. This kind of clever and quick-witted attitude was something that no one in his generation could pass by as he said:

"Humph, with your sharp eyes!"

"Put this letter away and quickly go to bed. Look at the girl in the village, which family is like you, strolling around in the middle of the night?"

When Qi Mu heard the Ye family's old patriarch's teasing, he stuck out his tongue at him and carefully put away the letter. Then, he stood up and patted the dirt on his body and extended his delicate hand towards the Ye family old man who was still sitting, and said:

"Look at the village, which family's old man sits under a tree and watches the moon without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

"Grandfather, you should get up quickly. It's cold at night, we should both go back and rest."

The grandfather-grandson pair looked at each other and smiled. Old Man Ye's smile was creased into a ball, but his face was getting more and more amiable. He did not hold back and directly held onto Qi Mu's hand, getting up.

Before he left, he said in a serious tone:

"You have to properly tell your parents about this matter. If they have any objections, then tell them to come and find me. Let's see how your father will teach that brat a lesson!"

Qi Mu covered his face as he smiled. He waved to the old man and said:

"Got it, grandpa. When you go back, be careful. It won't be easy to walk on the road when it gets dark, don't fall."

"Girl, you talk too much! Curse your grandfather? "

"No, grandpa …"
