Chapter 48

Mu Yi looked like a small sun that could be seen from far away .

Su Chongshan usually slept early, but he wasn’t asleep right now . He was in a foyer with Su Jinlun and Su Jun . They represented three generations of the Su clan, and they were the pillars that held the clan up .

The three of them were seated in the foyer and didn’t talk . They hadn’t even closed the door, causing a cold wind to enter the room making them shiver .

At that moment, the three of them didn’t pay attention to the coldness though . They were all pensive .

Su Chongshan was expressionless and lost in thought .

Su Jun looked grave, solemn, and worried .

Su Jinlun didn’t look as worried, but he kept looking at the door .

In the same village at another place, another clan was in the same situation .

Peng Songlai kept walking back and forth, and his wife and daughter were seated beside him in silence .

Peng Mi looked at her father, who had his head lowered . She felt guilty and sad, as she remembered her husband .

Song Qi was with Xie Zheng and Xie Miao . They hadn’t left yet . After all, they still hadn’t found the murderer . Since they hadn’t captured him, they had no choice but to stay .

Song Qi and Xie Zheng were drinking and eating pickles, while Xie Miao looked annoyed and didn’t drink or eat . He was just blankly staring at the candle .

“Mister Xie, do you think the murderer is a human?” Song Qi asked while eating some pickles and having a sip of liquor . He used his chopsticks to put some pickles in his mouth after he asked his question .

Xie Zheng raised his head and looked at Song Qi, who looked dispirited, and said, “Since you don’t know, how could I know?”

“I’ve seen many strange things in my life, but I’ve never seen such a ghost,” Song Qi said, looking pensive .

“We will maybe know tonight,” Xie Zheng said while raising his glass .

“Uncle, there are no ghosts in this world . That guy was just trying to purposely make a mystery of simple things . Otherwise, why would they have called us? They’re just trying to get us get involved,” Xie Miao said at that moment .

“You’re such a good-for-nothing . Have you forgotten what I told you already?” Xie Zheng asked angrily .

Xie Miao almost fell down because he was startled . He couldn’t help but frown .

“Alright, alright, young people fear neither Heaven nor Earth, right? We were the same when we were young, right? He won’t understand just because you tell it to him; he will understand through experience . Practice makes perfect,” Song Qi said . He knew that Xie Zheng was disappointed .

But as he had said, practice makes perfect .

When Xie Zheng heard Song Qi, he smiled wryly and shook his head . He was worried and anxious .

He wasn’t young anymore, so he had experienced many things . However, his nephew was lucky to have him, so he hoped that his nephew would listen to him and not make the same mistakes .

When Xie Zheng was as young as Xie Miao, he was bold, courageous, and fearless, but he also understood many things because he had gone through hardships .

Now, he had experience . He had changed a lot . A twenty-year old couldn’t be compared to a fifty-sixty year old .

Xie Zheng ignored Xie Miao and thought, Maybe it would be better for Xie Miao to travel alone? After all, little birds have to leave the nest at some point .

“Hey!”

Suddenly, Song Qi was startled and looked at the door .

Even though the door was closed, he saw something bright out of the window .

“What’s going on?” Xie Zheng asked when he noticed that something strange was happening . He also stood up and ran to the window .

When they opened the window, a cold wind entered the room . There was a light in the sky .

Song Qi came next to Xie Miao and Xie Zheng .

“Father, come and see!” Peng Mi said to Peng Songlai . He raised his head and saw the lights .

Peng Songlai was stupefied and ran to the door . He then opened the door and gazed into the distance .

“It looks like…” Peng Mi was stupefied and didn’t finish her sentence, but Peng Songlai understood .

In the Su Clan, the same thing happened . Su Chongshan, Su Jun, and Su Jinlun were stupefied, and they rushed out to the courtyard and gazed into the distance .

“Grandfather, it must be there,” Su Jinlun said while shuddering with fear .

“Indeed . It must be,” Su Chongshan said while nodding . However, he didn’t look elsewhere .

Even though those things had nothing to do with his clan, it was also important for them because they wanted to be friends with Peng Songlai and his eldest son-in-law, the County Magistrate .

Mu Yi was helping the Su Clan, and it was the first time that he was fighting all out .

It was also a sign that Mu Yi and the Su Clan were getting closer, their relationship becoming more stable . If Mu Yi became stronger, then it’d be good for the Su Clan .

“Unfortunately, we can’t see what’s going on,” Su Jinlun said disappointedly .

“Jinlun,” Su Chongshan shouted suddenly .

“Here!” Su Jinlun replied instantly .

“Tomorrow morning, come with me to Funiu Mountain . Prepare some generous gifts,” Su Chongshan said .

“Grandfather, you want to go to the mountain? But…” Su Jinlun said, not ending his sentence .

Su Chongshan interrupted him, saying, “Tomorrow, we’ll climb up the mountain . It’s a great opportunity for our clan . ” Su Chongshan’s eyes were filled with flames of hope . Finally, the Su Clan had an opportunity to rise again .

Mu Yi was still fighting like a madman, and he was finally gaining an advantage .
