02 Ye Family Mansion
"What's the big deal?" An Yu asked.
"Tomorrow night, a woman will go to the Ye family," Xiaojun said, "This woman is not a human being, she is very powerful. When she arrives, many people will die in the Ye family."
She looked at An Yu and me, "Grandpa Ye family invited you to go, and there are two intentions. One is to explain the funeral, and the other is to ask you to protect Ye Qian..."
"Who is going to be bad for Ye Qian?" I asked.
She nodded, "Yeah."
"So that's what it is...", I understand.
"Then we must go," An Yu said, "We have to do something with the Ye family, and we have no choice!"
"Yeah," I nodded, "We have to go, we can't stand by."
"I'll go with you too," Xiaojun said.
"No," I shook my head, "You don't want to go, it's too dangerous."
"It is because of the danger that I want to go," Xiaojun said firmly, "Although my cultivation is not high, I can help save some people."
"No," I am also very determined, "It is definitely not a trivial matter for something wrong with the Ye family. I can't let you take this risk!"
"Wu Zheng...", she also wanted to say.
I held her hand, "This matter is settled!"
She looked at me worriedly, and wanted to speak, "I..."
"Sister Xiaojun, just listen to Brother Wu Zheng's," An Yu also said, "Grandpa Ye's family asked us to go, it must have been carefully considered. Don't worry, we will be fine."
Xiaojun looked at us, let out a gentle breath, nodded, "Okay..."
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at An Yu, "That's it, let's go back first. I'll come back tomorrow evening, and let's go to the Ye family."
"Okay!" said An Yu.
I looked at Xiaojun, "Let's go."
"Yes," Xiaojun nodded.
...
There was nothing to say that day.
The next evening, I came back to my home in Tongzhou again.
An Yu changed her clothes, then we went downstairs together and drove to Ye’s house to attend the birthday party.
On the way, An Yu asked me, "Brother Wu Zheng, what is that woman? Can you sense it?"
"I can't sense it", I shook my head, "I can't tell Xiaojun's hexagram. This is a powerful character with a high level of cultivation."
"Sister Xiaojun said she is not a human being, so would she be a demon?" she asked.
"If she is a demon or a demon, I can sense it," I said, "Since she can't sense it now, it means she is not."
"Not a demon, nor a demon...", she looked at me, "Is she... a god?"
I glanced at her and didn't say anything.
She was silent for a while and let out a gentle breath, "If she is a god, then the Ye family will be in trouble..."
"No need to guess now," I looked at her, "As for what she is, I will know when I see it."
"Yes," she nodded.
I reached out and held her hand, "Remember, protect yourself!" She smiled softly, "Yeah!"
I glanced at her, kissed her little hand lightly, and continued driving.
...
We drove all the way north, crossed Xiaotang Mountain, continued north for fifteen or sixteen kilometers, and came to a small town.
The Ye family mansion is here, and it is easy to find. To the east of the town, the largest mansion, two large stone lions at the entrance, and there are big red lanterns hanging.
After we arrived here, we parked the car, opened the door and got out of the Ye family's gate.
The door was very deserted. Ye Meng, the old man who sent us an invitation yesterday, was hanging his hands to welcome the guests. His face was still serious and he could not see any festive appearance.
We came to the door and clasped our fists at him, "Old sir!"
He looked at us and clasped his fists, "Master Wu Zheng, Miss An, please show your invitation."
We were stunned. This old man was too...
The old man was very serious, "Only you can enter the Ye family if you have an invitation."
We looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
An Yu took out the invitation from her bag and handed it to the old man with both hands, "Here."
The old man took it, opened the invitation, looked at us, confirmed it, and nodded, "Master Wu Zheng, Miss An, please follow me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the yard.
We followed in.
After walking a few steps, the door behind him slowly closed.
An Yu stopped and looked back, not understanding very much.
The old man turned around and said to us, "Please rest assured that Young Master and Miss An will not come any other guests. Our master is waiting for you, please follow me to the backyard."
An Yu looks at me.
I nodded, "Okay, let's go."
The old man said nothing and continued to lead the way.
We followed him and continued to move forward.
This is my Grandpa Ye’s house. If it were someone else’s house, let alone the birthday party, I would have no doubt that it would be better if it was haunted here. But we knew in our hearts that our grandfather’s intentions were, so we didn’t care about these things.
We followed the old man, walked through the front yard, passed through the middle yard, and came to the back yard.
The three yards were hung with big red lanterns, twenty-five in the front yard, twenty-five in the middle yard, thirty-three in the back yard, and two in the door, both at the door, and exactly eighty-five in the symbol of the 85th birthday of the Ye family grandfather.
But there was no one in the huge yard, deserted and a bit weird.
After arriving at the backyard, the yard was still empty, and the central hall in the square was brightly lit. When the door was closed, there was a burst of fierce quarrels coming from inside.
It seems like a few old men are arguing, very serious.
The old man stopped.
We stopped as well.
"Don't say anything, go quickly! Go!" an old man roared.
This should be the voice of the Ye family grandfather.
"Brother, we are here to protect you!" said another old man, "We don't want you to have something to do!"
"I said, I don't need you to protect me!" Grandpa Ye was very excited, "I will bear the debt I owe myself! You protect me will ruin you! Let me go!"
An Yu and I looked at each other.
But then, another loud voice from an old man came.
"Brother! You really knocked us away?"
When An Yu heard this voice, he was stunned, "Grandpa..."
I was also stunned, "Grandpa?"
Almost at the same time, my grandfather's voice came from inside, "Brother, you need to say nothing, we will take care of Gillian's affairs..."
My head buzzed and I knelt down with a thud, "Grandpa!"
An Yu also knelt down, with tears in her eyes, "Grandpa!"
The room became quiet in an instant.
