After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"Either Master's father isn't dead, or Hemu moved his grave elsewhere," Yin Cheng said. "Old Deng, which possibility do you think is most likely?"

Guangjian pondered for a moment, "I witnessed Ningyun's burial with my own eyes, there's no mistake, could it be Hemu?"

"He Mu wouldn't even come to burn incense for his master's father during Qingming Festival, how can you expect him to move his master's grave?"

"That's true..." Guangjian said, "I told you there were tomb raiders!"

"Even though Tianji Manor has fallen on hard times, surely they wouldn't go so far as to dig up graves?" Yin Cheng asked. "Old Deng, you've lived in Tianji Manor for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"

Guangjian choked for a moment, "If I discovered anything unusual, would it be your place to point fingers?"

"Trying to ferry water demons? How useless."

"Cough cough." Guang Jiankong choked. "Kid, I'll say it again. I left the monastic life twenty years ago. All that talk about the Water-Crossing Demon Path is in the past. If you bring it up again, I'll get angry!"

Yin Cheng said, "The Water-Crossing Demon Path, the Water-Crossing Demon Path, the Water-Crossing Demon Path..."

Guangjian: "..."

Guangjian gently stroked Chu Ningyun's tombstone with affection, "Yun-ge'er, I know you like this boy."

His face suddenly hardened, and he clenched his fists as he charged towards Yin Cheng, shouting, "But he's definitely going to get a beating today!"

Yin Cheng skillfully dodged Guang Jian's fist by sidestepping. "Master, help me! Old Deng is hitting me!"

"..." Guangjian cursed, "Have you no shame?"

"No." Yin Cheng was both flexible and assertive. "What's a face? Ridiculous, I don't have one."

Guangjian, panting heavily, exclaimed, "I shouldn't have taught you light-body skills in the first place!"

Seeing that he was panting heavily, Yin Cheng patted his back and then turned around and said, "Alright, alright, how old are you and you're still making such a fuss? Aren't you afraid of passing out?"

Beneath the maple tree was a row of long tree roots. Lin Nian sat on them, cupping his face in his hands, watching the scene unfold from beginning to end.

So sometimes you really can't blame others for striking first...

"I'm exhausted." Guangjian sat down on the ground. "Go away, I hate seeing you."

Yin Cheng pursed his lips and sat down next to his wife.

"Old Deng, I don't think Master is dead," Yin Cheng said. "Master was such a smart man, how could He Mu have harmed him?"

Guangjian said, "You mean Yun-ge faked his death? Impossible. So many people saw it back then. Yun-ge died of a sudden death. It can't be faked."

Yin Cheng knew the probability was too small, but he couldn't help but have a sliver of hope in his heart.

"Do you think the old master is crazy, insisting on marrying his son to Hemu? Hemu is neither good-looking nor capable," Yin Cheng said, utterly bewildered. "What does the old master see in him?"

"Can't you show some respect to my elder brother, kid!" Guangjian said. "Besides, she's not marrying Hemu, she's marrying the next head of the manor."

"So...? What's the difference?"

Guangjian sighed, "My elder brother's surname is Chu, but Tianji Manor's surname is not Chu. Those elders back then have always coveted the position of manor lord. If they were good people, it would be fine, but they are ruthless people. My elder brother was afraid that after he died, no one would protect Ningyun, and those elders would kill her without mercy... That's why he resorted to this desperate measure."

He seemed to be thinking of something, and sighed repeatedly.

Yin Cheng: "Please explain more clearly, I don't understand."

Guangjian rolled his eyes. "You're so stupid."

Lin Nian understood, and asked, "Then why not choose someone of noble character? With such a large sect, why did they specifically choose He Mu?"

"You've hit the nail on the head, little one," Guangjian said. "I'm also very puzzled by this. Everyone could see that Ningyun already had someone she loved... How could my elder brother suddenly betroth Ningyun to Hemu?"

Yin Cheng said coolly, "He's blind."

Seeing Guangjian clench his fists again, Yin Cheng quickly said, "No, no, he can see a thousand miles!"

Lin Nian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old sir, before He Mu died, he said that Chu Wan wasn't Master's child. Do you know what happened?"

"Chu Wan?"

"It's He Wan," Lin Nian said. "I think since she's Master's child, she should take Master's surname."

"Haha." Guangjian suddenly burst into laughter. "You little rascal, you're quite my type. I've always thought that Ningyun's child shouldn't have the same surname as Hemu."

Yin Cheng silently pulled his wife into his arms. "You old fool, who are you trying to get close to?"

He kissed his wife's forehead. "Niannian, let's not talk to him."

How could you kiss in front of your elders... Lin Nian's cheeks flushed red, and she nervously clutched her sleeves.

Guangjian rolled his eyes again, as if suddenly realizing something, "What did you say? Wan'er isn't Ningyun's child?"

"You don't know either?" Yin Cheng said. "He Mu said it himself, so it shouldn't be false. Think carefully, did you miss any crucial information?"

"I really don't know. I went into seclusion for two years, and when I came out, Wan Ge'er was already eight months old," Guang Jian said. "Although Wan Ge'er has indeed done a lot of foolish things over the years, I have never doubted that he is not Ning Yun's child."

Yin Cheng said, "It seems that only Master knows about Chu Wan's background."

Guangjian said, "If Wan'er hadn't had such an unreasonable father, he wouldn't have been raised to be so unruly and willful."

He reminisced about the past, "When Ningyun was alive, he was still very well-behaved."

Is Chu Wan clever? Yin Cheng declined to comment.

When Bai Yuchen arrived, it was already quite late.

A bonfire in front of the grave looked even more eerie in the desolate wilderness.

Lin Nian was timid to begin with, and now she clung to her husband even more.

Unfortunately, Yin Cheng, that wicked fellow, also enjoys scaring his wife for amusement.

"Niannian, have you ever heard of a corpse rising from the dead?"

Lin Nian shrank into the man's arms in fear. He shook his head, "Never heard of it, what is it?"

Yin Cheng said, "Those who die with resentment, if they wear white clothes when they die, their bodies will not decompose. As soon as they smell the scent of the living, they will crawl out..."

His voice was low, and when combined with the sound of the night wind, it sounded even more eerie and terrifying.

Bai Yuchen, who happened to be checking the fragrance next to the coffin, was dressed in white.

Bai Yuchen held up a candle, his already pale face now completely devoid of color.

Lin Nian shuddered in fright and hugged Yin Cheng even tighter.

Having achieved his goal, Yin Cheng embraced his wife with satisfaction.

After carefully examining it, Bai Yuchen said, "This is the scent of Burning Flower Bone."

Yin Cheng asked, "What is 'burning flower bone'?"

"It's usually used as an aphrodisiac, but it's also found in many hallucinogens." Bai Yuchen examined the coffin carefully again and handed over a handkerchief covered in white powder. "This is the Burning Flower Bone."

Yin Cheng handed the handkerchief to the guard and instructed him to keep it safe.
