Chapter 1171: It Was Because He Had Come

Xi Xi who was near the graveyard used a pair of binoculars to look at the highway in the distance. She ran to the nearby road when she spotted a familiar car making its way over.

Ye Hao immediately rushed over from Lin City after he received a call from his daughter. Xi Xi had informed him that her grandmother did not decompose and was now a zombie. She also told him that Yan Yan had a mental breakdown.

This wasn’t Ye Hao’s first time visiting the village. He still remembered coming to this place 10 years ago with Yan Yan to pay his respects to her parents. Yan Yan had not mentioned this odd custom of having to s.h.i.+ft her parents’ graves when he had visited the previous time.

“Dad…” Xi Xi said as she tucked her hand through his arm.

Xi Xi looked very haggard and her dark circles were so obvious that they looked like they had been drawn on.

She had not slept well over the past two days and she kept having nightmares ever since she saw her grandmother’s body, so she was terrified of sleeping.

“Where is your mom?” Ye Hao asked anxiously. He knew that Yan Yan had brought the children to this place to pay their respects, but he didn’t know that she was s.h.i.+fting her parents’ graves. He would have come to be with her if he had known earlier.

“She’s there…” Xi Xi said as she pointed at the hill. They could see a small crowd gathered up on the mountain and even heard the sound of firecrackers from a distance.

Ye Hao ran up the mountain and Xi Xi followed closely behind.

Her grandmother had been cremated the day before, but she didn’t dare visit her grandmother’s grave.

Su Ye helped He Xiyan to her feet.

She had burst into tears again and her eyes had become extremely swollen.

The fengshui master performed some divination methods in front of the grave and after he obtained six Yang trigrams in succession. Then, he said, “Alright, your mother’s wish has been fulfilled so her soul can now rest in peace. Don’t be too upset for your mother had only refused to leave the mortal realm because of her love for you. You don’t have to worry now that her soul has moved on to the netherworld.”

The fengshui master comforted He Xiyan. He was very confident in his abilities since he was the disciple of a famous fengshui master, Mr. Liu. His master had pa.s.sed away several years ago after imparting everything he knew to him, so he had obtained in-depth fengshui knowledge.

He Xiyan nodded before she quickly took the fengshui master’s hands in hers and said, “Thank you, Mr. w.a.n.g.”

Mr. w.a.n.g shot her a smile. Then, he noticed the tall man who came charging up the mountain in the suit and asked with a frown, “And this man is…?”

He studied the man in the suit carefully.

He Xiyan suddenly realized that Ye Hao was standing beside her. His face was flushed red and his face was covered in sweat as though he had ran the entire way up the mountain.

Ye Hao threw all caution to the wind and held He Xiyan’s hands tightly.

He Xiyan tried to push him away but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t free herself from his grip.

She looked at Mr. w.a.n.g in embarra.s.sment before she said after a long pause, “He is my… friend.”

“Oh…” Mr. w.a.n.g looked at Ye Hao in surprise before he turned to look at the portrait of the deceased displayed on the altar. He paused for a moment before he said, “Your mother only seemed willing to leave the mortal realm after this man arrived.”

Ye Hao and He Xiyan were bewildered by his words.

Mr. w.a.n.g had performed some divination in front of the grave earlier after the rites but he had obtained seven Yin trigrams in succession. It wasn’t until this man’s arrival that he started to obtain Yang trigram readings and he even managed to obtain six in succession.

This meant that the deceased’s wishes had been fulfilled and that the deceased was now willing to move on to the netherworld.
