1243 Migration

hosts in this place. I was very unhappy after hearing that. This guy knew there were spirits here, and he still wanted this room. How could we sleepJust get rid of the ghost, there's no need to sleep...Filial piety comes first among all virtues. I certainly want to be filial, but if my parents are unloving, how can I possibly show them filial piety

At most, I won't give her any face.

Unfortunately, I was too naive. It's not that I didn't give face, it's that Ms. Xue gave me face.

Mu Wanchen used his own blood to perform a ritual, awakening the blood gu in her body. This blood gu had various functions, but overall it was used to protect bloodline descendants through the art of using gu.

This is a unique protection method specific to the Witch Clan. Ms. Xue's blood gu should be very weak; her mother's generation didn't have any blood gu, but her mother seemed to have passed away earlier. It is unknown whether it was because of the lack of blood gu protection that she died prematurely.

To dwell in that place of yin and yang chaos, interacting with vengeful spirits, ghosts, and insane people day after day, would require immense mental and physical strength for a witch from the Wu clan without the protection of a blood gu.

At least in the Witch King City, there are barriers to separate Yin and Yang, it wouldn't be so chaotic and without boundaries.

Whether you admit it or not, deep down inside, you still consider her a special person. Otherwise, why would you carry her out Mu Wanchen pushed open the window, and a blast of cold air rushed in, shattering the heavy silence in the room.

How long has it been since this little room felt so bright and airy

I stood at one end of the room, turning my head to look at the screen at the other.

Through the cracks in the folding screen, I could see my father's back.

He was sitting by her bedside, feeding Mrs. Xue with a potion of Guiben Peyuan granules.

Mu Wanchen used his own blood as bait to awaken the blood gu that remained in her body. If someone had been implanted with a blood gu, they should be able to recover quickly under the power of the gu, but Mrs. Xue's bodily functions were still very weak.

But she was very strong-willed.

Just regaining consciousness, I couldn't even move my lips, but I could already use my eyes to signal my dad.

Alas...

One word of love, it really is a willing fight and a willing acceptance.

The bed curtain was lifted, and my father carried her up and propped her against the headboard, feeding her medicine before leaving. I saw Mrs. Xue's face through a crack in the screen.

Her face was gaunt, but her eyes were still cold and mocking.

Peeking at me from the gaps in the screen, across the hall, their eyes met mine directly.

It gave me goosebumps.

Could this woman really be my mother

This powerful, what did my father drink to be so enchanted by her

After being apart for so long, wouldn't an ordinary couple's feelings have faded They must still be in contact.

Is it normal for a married couple to act like they're having an affair That's crazy, right

I had a lot to complain about, but Ms. Xue just looked at me with a playful smirk.

She was too weak to speak. Even feeding her medicine was a struggle, half of it going into her mouth and the other half spilling onto her clothes. But there wasn't a single drop on her shirt.

Father is a model husband, taking good care of everything. My sister is also a dutiful daughter, holding hot water nearby to help Father.

...made me feel like a "rebel" or something.

"Go take a look at her. Once she wakes up, you won't be afraid of getting hit with anger... There aren't any other animals in this yard." Mu Wanchen reminded me.

"I still have one cat," I retorted.

Mu Wanchen smiled: "Haven't you noticed that cat, it has never approached this yard"

"Why"

“Cats have both spirit and instinct. Your mother has too much negative energy clinging to her. Even if she leaves that village, it will affect those around her... So don't blame her anymore. Whether it was intentional or not, her actions haven't harmed you. She probably wanted to keep you in that isolated place before to prevent you from taking risks.” Mu Wanchen advised softly.

He's too tall, and when he talks to me, he always bends his head slightly. This gentle posture combined with his soft voice makes it impossible for me to resist him.

"Well, I'll just convince myself she does everything for me." I replied stiffly, walking towards the screen.

As soon as I rounded the screen, Ms. Xue's gaze fixed on me directly. My temples twitched slightly, as if something in my brain had reacted.

Her eyes held a hint of amusement, as if she found it amusing that I both disliked her and unconsciously saved her.

“Betrayal doesn't feel good, does it” I muttered, sitting in the stool my father had just vacated.

The eldest sister should have always been "her person," but when the eldest sister developed second thoughts, no one knows.

Ms. Xue's lips twitched slightly, as if a sneer was playing on them.

What I wanted to leave for you...

A phrase flashed through my mind.

Who was speaking I was startled and looked up at Ms. Xue. She was smiling at me.

Is she talking That's impossible, her lips aren't even moving.

But I did hear the voice, and the tone sounded very much like Ms. Xue's, with that slightly arrogant inflection.

"What are you leaving me with" I asked, frowning.

This time it was her turn to be slightly taken aback. Immediately, her gaze became somewhat profound, turning towards the screen and peering through the gap at Mu Wanchen standing on the other side of the room.

Mu Wanchen lowered his head to flip through a book, without looking up.

My father walked in and said to me, "Just speak up, don't let your mother talk. She hasn't recovered her energy yet..."

"Hmph, serves her right... Who told her to trust the senior sister In the end, she got tricked and almost died outside..." I said bluntly.

My father sighed and sat down by the bed, saying to me, “Your eldest brother investigated extensively and found that your senior sister had contact with the Dragon King’s people a long time ago. We never discovered when she became disloyal……Zi Yi went over all the accounts she handled, and she didn't empty the family treasury. We don't know why she got involved with the Dragon King……”

Her ambition is more than just this small amount of money.

And then I heard another voice in my head.

I can't take it anymore, this feeling is too unbearable. I couldn't help but turn to Ms. Xue and say, "If you can speak, just open your mouth and say it. Don't always use this method to talk in my head, it's really uncomfortable."

Her eyes widened in surprise, then grew complex.

"I don't even know if I'm hallucinating, if this keeps up I'll go insane! My head hurts." I shook my head.

My father stroked his chin and said, "Little Lu'er, you have had quite a few experiences. Do you think auditory hallucinations are related to these experiences"

"No, I often hear strange things too, like telepathy. Ms. Xue has a shamanic bloodline, perhaps that's why she can hear your thoughts more easily."

Ms. Xue's lips twitched slightly, revealing a "relieved" smile

Relieved

My father glanced at the door, then back at Mu Wanchen, and in a low voice said: "There's just our family here, so I'll tell you directly. Ruoyi has been guarding that village for a reason..."

“It’s a long story, so I can only tell you briefly: in times of war, that place was a dragon vein prone to chaos; for the ancestors of Ru Yi, it was a good place to hide from the war, and they even secretly helped troops maneuver in battle. Therefore, some older generations know that there are female relatives of the Xue clan there…”

“After the founding of the nation, these things were not allowed to disturb the people's hearts. So, those in power established a special place there, allowing the Xue family women to continue guarding it, and gradually formed a symbiotic relationship... Besides, the country is so large, how can all these things be taken care of one by one They simply turn a blind eye, and let things exist as they are.”

"Later, when you were born, according to Old Madam's wishes, she wanted to keep one there to cultivate. After all, someone was needed to inherit and protect it... However, Ruyi left none behind, keeping you all in the outside world and continuing to guard that place herself... But now times are changing, information is widespread, and no one knows how long this can continue. Relying solely on the Xue family womenfolk, it's impossible to safeguard it for the long term. This is also a problem..."

My father, when he starts to talk about something, rambles on and on, displaying the mannerisms of an old scholar.

After he talked for ages, a lightbulb went off in my head——

"Well... I actually have a rather bold idea..." I twitched the corner of my mouth and couldn't help but laugh.

"What do you think" My father was taken aback.

"...to draw, to land, to self-reside."

> those elders thinking! To destroy life like this! To prevent things from escalating, they're just going to repeat the tragedy of Huangdao Village! This is karmic retribution! The Situ family rose to...
