Stuck on the highway, I just flew home on my sword!

Lin Ye reached out and helped her up.

My palm touched her wrist; it was icy cold.

"So frozen?"

Lin Ye turned around and walked to the eaves, picked up the sweet potato he had roasted during the day, and handed it over.

The sweet potatoes were still warm, their skins were roasted to a crisp, and they smelled wonderful.

"Freshly baked, have some."

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then subconsciously took it.

The sweet potato was so hot that she kept switching hands.

"Who wants your stuff...?"

She muttered something stubbornly, but didn't hand the sweet potato back.

Touching the warm skin of the sweet potato with my fingertips warmed my heart as well.

Lin Ye ignored her and turned to walk into the house.

"Go back after you finish eating. Don't wander around outside so late at night."

Bai Zhi stood there, watching his back, then looked at the sweet potato in her hand.

The blush on her face didn't fade.

She took a bite of the sweet potato; it was sickeningly sweet.

"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience."

She muttered something under her breath, then turned and climbed over the wall.

As I left, I casually put the pink gloves I had left there into my pocket.

Inside the house, Lin Ye stood by the window, watching her skipping figure disappear into the alleyway.

He remembered what his second uncle had said: if he was still single next year, he shouldn't come home.

Lin Ye shook his head, banishing the absurd thought from his mind.

He walked to the table and picked up the paper money and offerings that his second uncle had prepared.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents' death; I should go to their graves.

The snow stopped early the next morning.

The sun came out and shone on the snow, so bright it hurt people's eyes.

Lin Ye carried the offerings and paper money and walked towards the back mountain.

My parents' graves are located halfway up the mountain, backed by the mountain and facing the water. It was a feng shui site that my second uncle had someone choose for them.

The mountain road was covered in snow and difficult to travel.

Lin Ye's steps were very steady, and he didn't even leave a footprint on the snow.

When we reached the middle of the mountain, we could see several people standing next to the cemetery in the distance.

Four young men dressed in black training uniforms held compasses and pointed at the surrounding mountains.

The leader, with his dyed red hair and a jade pendant that was entirely emerald green around his neck, had an arrogant expression.

They were offspring of a branch of the Chen family, an ancient martial arts family in Jiangnan. They came to Qinghe Town to find the mysterious expert who flew on a sword on the highway.

We detected strong energy fluctuations in the back mountain last night, so we came here specifically to investigate.

Seeing Lin Ye approach, Red Hair frowned and reached out to stop him.

"Halt! This place is reserved by the Chen family. All irrelevant people, get out of here."

Lin Ye glanced at him.

"I've come to pay my respects at the grave."

Red Hair paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Visiting the grave?"

"You're saying that dilapidated grave belongs to your family?"

He pointed to the tombstone not far away, his face full of contempt.

"Perfect timing, our Chen family has our eye on this land and wants to build a temporary base here."

"We'll give you one day to move the grave, or we'll dig it up and feed it to the dogs."

The three young men next to him also started laughing.

"A poor wretch's dilapidated grave has taken up our Chen family's land; it's all thanks to the good deeds of your ancestors."

"Get out of here, or we'll break your legs."

Lin Ye stood still, without moving.

His gaze passed over the group of people and landed on his parents' gravestones.

The photos on the tombstone are a bit blurry, but the parents' smiles still show their youth.

His parents died in a car accident when he was only ten years old. His second uncle raised him with great care and love.

In this world, his second uncle's and his parents' graves are his only Achilles' heel.

Lin Ye's eyes turned cold.

The box containing the seven emotions and six desires in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

He neither spoke nor made a move.

It was just a fleeting thought.

Three invisible and intangible swords shot towards the four people in an instant.

There was no sound.

The laughter of the red-haired group suddenly caught in their throats.

The smiles on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by extreme fear.

The fear was deep in my bones, like being suddenly thrown into an ice cellar, freezing even my blood.

They looked at Lin Ye as if they were seeing some kind of prehistoric beast.

My legs went weak uncontrollably.

"Thump."

Red Hair was the first to kneel down, his head hitting the snow with a thud.

"Ancestors! I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness!"

"I shouldn't have said I wanted to dig up your family's grave, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

The other three also knelt down, kowtowing until their faces were covered in blood, crying and begging for their parents.

"Spare us! We'll never do it again!"

"Please let us go! We'll get out of here right now! Immediately!"

Lin Ye ignored them.

He walked around the group of people, went to the tombstone, and arranged the offerings one by one.

He lit the paper money, and the flames leaped up, casting flickering light on his face.

"Dad, Mom, I've come to see you."

"I'm doing very well now, and my second uncle is in good health, so you don't need to worry."

"No one will be able to bully our family anymore."

He squatted by the fire, speaking slowly and softly.

A breeze blew, and the ashes of the paper money were blown up and drifted into the distance.

After burning the paper money, Lin Ye stood up.

He stretched out his finger and quickly drew several lines in the air around the tombstone.

A golden array pattern, barely visible to the naked eye, disappeared underground.

Small defensive formations were set up.

Even if artillery shells come at you in the future, they won't damage the tombstone in the slightest.

After doing all this, Lin Ye turned and walked down the mountain.

He didn't stop walking as he passed the four Chen family members who were still kowtowing.

An invisible wave of air swept by, sending the four people flying more than ten meters away. They rolled in the snow and couldn't get up for a long time.

When Lin Ye reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Bai Zhi standing by the roadside, holding half a sweet potato she hadn't finished eating, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

She had followed Lin Ye up the mountain and witnessed everything.

That kind of invisible and intangible mental attack was absolutely terrifying.

Her adoration for Lin Ye is now almost overflowing.

Lin Ye walked up to her, took out a few freshly picked wild kiwis from his pocket, and stuffed them into her hand.

"Picking them from the back hill, they're sweet."

The kiwifruit carried the chill of the mountain air, and felt refreshingly cool.

Bai Zhi took the kiwi, and her face turned red again.

"Who wants your stuff...?"

She muttered stubbornly, but her hands were clenched tightly.

Lin Ye ignored her and walked towards the town on his own.

Bai Zhi paused for two seconds, then quickly followed, trailing behind him like a little tail.

The two figures gradually walked away into the distance.

Halfway up the mountain, Red Hair and his group finally recovered.

He shakily pulled out his phone and dialed his family's number.

As soon as the call connected, he burst into tears.

"Ancestor! Help! There's a monster in Qinghe Town! We've run into a tough opponent! Please bring your men quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, Red Hair stared in the direction Lin Ye had disappeared, his eyes filled with resentment.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.

When the Chen family patriarch arrives, he will surely tear this brat to pieces and grind his bones to dust!

At the Chen family's old residence in Jiangnan City, the elder of the Chen clan slammed his hand on the table upon receiving the phone call.

"Dare to touch anyone from the Chen family? You're asking for death!"

"Pass on my order: gather all martial artists of the clan above the Blood Burning Realm and proceed to Qinghe Town!"

"I'd like to see who dares to run wild on my Chen family's territory!"

A storm is brewing against Lin Ye.

At that moment, Lin Ye was sitting in his own yard, gnawing on freshly roasted wild rabbit meat.

He had long anticipated that the Chen family would not let the matter rest.

But he doesn't care.

No matter how many come, it's all just free food.

His only worry now is that the kiwi fruit he just gave Bai Zhi is sour.

Will that girl get so angry that she comes and block his door again?
