After thinking for a while, Gu Daiyan seemed to have thought of something and lightly knocked on the table.

"Ah Zi, go and invite Aunt Zhang over. Ask her if there are any older people in the city who can come along as well."

"Alright, I'll be there right away." Ah Zi quickly stuffed the White Peony into Gu Daiyan's arms and ran out to look for someone.

Jade Pearl came in with the soup and the candied fruit, waiting upon them. She did not ask what had happened.

After a while, Auntie Zhang came back with A'Zi. Behind her was an old man with white hair, sitting in a wheelchair. However, the old man's eyes were very bright. It seemed like his body was in good shape.

After he dismissed Yu Zhu and Ah Zi, Gu Pingyan asked: "Aunt, Old Master, do you know about the Ghost Witch's situation in the Yin Mountain? Can you tell me about it in detail?"

Aunt Zhang crossed her arms and thought for a while. "I've heard that many people have seen the Ghost Witch in the Shadow Mountain, but I've never seen her. The only thing I know is that the Ghost Witch doesn't eat humans. She eats fish."

"Eat fish?" Gu Liuyan was curious.

"Didn't you say that the Yin Mountain is a fishing village?" Haunted spirits have always been the strongest in that area. Thus, the Ghost Witch liked to eat fish, so she always went to look for them. But strangely, the people from that fishing village also didn't leave. It's very strange. " Zhang Shuang said helplessly.

The two of them were deep in thought when they heard the old man laugh.

"Truly a young man …" The old man opened his mouth and spoke softly. His eyes sized up Gu Daiyan and he laughed: "There is no one from the Yun Family that is stupid."

"Old man, do you know what I want to investigate?" Gu Danyan looked at him.

"Of course I know that you and your mother were carved from the same mold, and that is that you're not as good-looking as your mother." The old man chuckled again, while Gu Tinyan rubbed her face awkwardly.

Auntie Zhang helplessly poured a glass of water for the old man and continued, "I think you wanted to investigate something, so you went to find Old Master Lai. He had dealings with your mother before."

"Does Senior know anything?" Gu Daiyan quickly asked.

"The reason why Sky Flame City is seated here is because of the fishing village behind the Shadow Mountain." The old man spoke up in a low voice, "Back then, it was the Yun Family that chose this place for the royal family. They said that this place is a place filled with talents and abundant of medicinal herbs."

Aunt Zhang was also stunned, but she had never heard such a thing.

The old man took a shaky sip of water before continuing, "At that time, the first young lady of your Yun clan to cooperate with the Duan Clan was picked up by that small fishing village. It's said that the young lady is extremely intelligent, and followed the first generation emperor to lay down the foundation of this Navy Tide in this chaotic world."

"If that's the case, then that fishing village is also a blessed place. After all, such a powerful woman has appeared. But why would the Ghost Witch go there frequently?"

"You little ghost." The old man laughed out loud and continued, "The people from the fishing village are inseparable from it. This is the imperial family's rule, letting them guard it. The so-called Ghost Daughters are actually the ghosts of your descendents of the Yun Family. The previous generations of emperors feared the ghosts of your Yun Family."

The old tutor's eyes narrowed when he spoke of this.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Liuyan was enlightened: "The people of the Yun Family are all married into the Royal Family, shouldn't they enter the Royal Tomb?"

"Only the first woman had entered the Royal Tomb, and everyone after that was thrown onto the mountain of the Yin Mountain to be buried. It would be best if she was buried somewhere on the mountain, and it would be hard to find her, so as to prevent those women who were taken by the Dark Mountain from turning into ghosts to take her life." Only the first woman had entered the Royal Tomb, and everyone was thrown on the mountain of the Yin Mountain, and would have to be buried on the mountain of the Yin Mountain, and it would be best to find somewhere difficult to prevent those women from turning into ghosts to take her life.

After the old man finished speaking, Aunt Zhang sucked in a breath of cold air, "I didn't expect the royal family to do this. They let people refine medicine for themselves, and they even let beautiful women marry into the royal family. They aren't even allowed to be buried in a good place?"

Gu Liuyan's expression also changed.

The old man smacked his lips. He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Daiyan, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, do you think that these girls have grievances even the royal family is afraid because they can't get into a good coffin?"

"It's all because of this special blood." Gu Liuyan smiled bitterly and pressed his chest with his hand.

The blood in the heart of the Yun clan was a good medicine. The blood of the Yun clan could cure many diseases.

The old man chuckled, then sat on the wheelchair and slapped the armrest, "Your mother didn't figure this out until she was inside the Soul Suppressing House. Later on, I heard that the late emperor took the blood from her heart as well, before she completely passed away."

Gu Danyan's hands tightened a bit more. If her soul had not been here, this body of hers would have died.

"Thus, for the previous dynasties, when they were on the verge of death, it was actually the blood of the Yun Family descendents that was used for the medicine." Gu Danyan felt helpless and wronged, but he also found it laughable.

The current Emperor had crippled this rule, but Duan Chengxuan had actually helped him obtain the blood of the Yun clan's descendant.

To change the way things are in the world, but not to be reincarnated, was truly ironic.

"It is fortunate that you are now an enlightened ruler. You should be glad that everything has changed." Old Man Gu continued to look at Gu Danyan with narrowed eyes. After a long silence, he said softly: "Your life was exchanged with the descendants of the Yun clan. If you don't do something, it would be a waste of your life."

It was as if the souls in his body had been seen through. Gu Daiyan sent the two away restlessly, finally understanding what was behind them. However, if this was true, there was a real loophole.

The late emperor had also thought that Yun Xiao was a fox demon and the empress dowager would not lie to him. In that case, the late emperor probably hadn't taken Yun Wan's blood at all and didn't have any time to spare, even if the current emperor were to ascend to the throne.

As such, the people from the Wind Listening Pavilion had taken away Yun Wan's coffin, but now they had brought it back.

However, he did not know whether or not Yun Qi's corpse was inside the coffin.

All of a sudden, Gu Pingyan stood up and felt that he had a bold guess — perhaps Yun Xiao was not dead at all!

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng had long prepared a method for the golden cicada to shed its shell. When the two sides faced off against each other, it was obvious that both of them had long since made their preparations. However, how did Gu Cheng know that the people from Wind Listening Pavilion wanted to harm him?

If Yun Dian had truly died, the person behind the Wind Listening Pavilion should have been that lover of yours. After all, Gu Cheng had indeed been surprised at that time and had been prepared in the future. However, he might really have been Yun Diao's friend.

Furthermore, if Yun Wan had not died, then the person behind the Wind Listening Pavilion should have been Yun Wan. Gu Cheng had always known that Yun Wan had not died and had always been on her guard.

"Accompany me to the Wind Listening Pavilion." Gu Liuyan brought Ah Zi and Yu Zhu and quickly walked towards the Wind Listening Pavilion.
