Seeing that Gu Yanfei was very happy to see the cat, Gu Yuan smiled too, his eyes gentle.

It was good that raising such a kitten could make his sister smile!

Gu Yuan joked, ‘Sister, your cat is really naughty.

Although Gu Yanfei also thought that her cat was very naughty, she felt that Qing Guang was a little innocent today.

The Murong family was indeed quite smelly!

Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but sigh. “How pitiful!”

‘The dead are forced to stay in the world. What’s consumed is the soul... and the merit of the world.”

Old Madam Murong’s soul was already damaged. In her next life, she would definitely reincarnate into the path of animals. At the very least, she would need a few reincarnations to repair her soul bit by bit and be reborn as a human.

There was a price for everything in this world.

It was the same for the Murong family and Shangqing Spiritual Master.

Gu Yuan could vaguely hear that Gu Yanfei was saying that Old Madam Murong was pitiful, but he didn’t comment.

‘Qing Guang, you’re back. I’ve been looking for you for half a day!” Juan Bi jogged over from a certain direction and happily picked up the cat in the snow. “Why do you smell?” she exclaimed.

‘Qing Guang, let me wash you. I’ll use a smoke cage to dry your fur too. You’ll smell good again!”

Juan Bi hugged the cat gently and spoke ingratiatingly, but she couldn’t get any response from the cat.

The word “smelly” had already shut the cat up.

The calico cat closed its eyes and lay like a corpse in Juan Bi’s arms.

The man and the cat left quickly, leaving only the large and small footprints left in the snow by the man and the cat.

The courtyard was empty agam, except for the snow.

Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of the Murong residence for a while. Then, she turned to look in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, “Once the soul is damaged, it has to be nourished for a long time.”

After a pause, Gu Yanfei’s calm tone was tainted with a hint of sadness. ‘So is our biological grandmother. ”

‘IAS a substitute, her soul should have dissipated, but now, she’s lucky to have preserved a trace of her soul.’

‘But only a little.”

Substitute...

Even though Gu Yuan had some guesses, he still found it unbelievable when he heard Gu Yanfei’s words.

Their biological grandmother was actually Madam Guts substitute!

All these years since his father passed away instantly flashed through his mind.

Gu Yuan’s eyes were like raging waves.

He took a deep breath and gripped the arm of the round chair tightly with one hand. He composed himself and asked clearly, “Sister, what’s a ‘substitute’?”

Gu Yanfei’s words in the ancestral hall were mostly for Madam Gu, the person involved. The person involved knew very well, but outsiders were confused.

Gu Yuan could barely guess.

‘Substitutes and rushing joy are both ways of borrowing luck from the Taoist community.” Gu Yanfei’s indifferent voice was emotionless. “If there are people who are in trouble, you can find a blood relative who is compatible with you and be their substitute. A life for a life.”

‘Our biological grandmother is Madam’s substitute and her blood relative.’

Hearing this, Gu Yuan’s eyes darkened and he gradually calmed down. He guessed, “Sister, our grandmother’s surname is also Qi?”

Gu Yanfei nodded affirmatively and gently fiddled with the compass she had placed on the table.

There was silence in the house for a moment. Large flakes of snow were blown in through the window by the bleak wind.

Gu Yanfei lowered her eyes and watched the snowflakes on the table turn into sparkling water droplets. She recalled the past Gu Yunzhen had told her about her grandfather in the ancestral hall last night. After her father was born, her grandfather fell seriously ill. After that, his relationship with Madam Gu became bad.

Presumably, that was when her and her brother’s biological grandmother passed away.

What exactly happened 30 years ago?!

Gu Yanfei’s heart tightened slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly to herself.

She had clearly been in the Bright Spirit Realm for 200 years and had seen enough hatred, sorrow, joy, and separation. She had experienced all kinds of tragic, bizarre, and terrifying stories, but she still couldn’t calm down in the face of things related to her.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yanfei calmed down and continued, “The ‘Substitute Talisman’ is drawn with the blood essence of a substitute. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be able to leave its owner. Now, it’s placed in Grandpa’s memorial tablet and worshiped by the descendants of the Gu family.”

‘Grandpa probably did this.”

More than 30 years had passed, and everything had changed. Some were dead, some were gone, and many details were probably only known by Madam.

However, it wasn’t impossible to find clues about what had happened back then.

‘You’ll find out eventually.” Gu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gu Yanfei’s soft head. His lips curled into a smile, and his gentle smile melted the frost between his eyebrows. “I’m here!”

You’re my sister, what are you worried about!

Gu Yanfei also smiled with pride. She nodded seriously.

‘Yes, I have a brother!”

With my brother around, I’m not alone.

The siblings looked at each other and smiled, their smiles just as warm.

Gu Yuan wasn’t casually comforting Gu Yanfei. He did have some ideas. After all, he knew far more about the Gu family’s past than Gu Yanfei. His great- grandfather and grandfather should have been in the West Region 37 to 38 years ago. His grandfather was also married in the West Region, so if he wanted more clues, he had to send someone to the West Region.

As for the Qi family, if their biological grandmother was really Madam’s blood relative, then did no one in the Qi family know of her existence?

Not necessarily.

Since a person had existed before, how could he be easily erased7!

Gu Yanfei tilted her head with a smile and said, “It’s good for Grandma’s soul to be nourished in the ancestral hall first. When there’s a chance...”

Halfway through her sentence, she stopped abruptly. Gu Yanfei’s pupils constricted and widened slightly.

Her deep gaze landed on Gu Yuan’s heart.

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

‘Big Brother, are you injured?” Gu Yanfei pointed at Gu Yuan’s left chest.

Gu Yuan thought about it and said casually, “I was swept by Shangqing’s horsetail whisk just now. It was like a cat scratching me. I’m fine.”

Gu Yanfei narrowed her eyes bit by bit.

This should be... a mark..
