Yun Qishen

"Did he leave anything behind to prove his origins?"

After hearing Wang Fangruan's question, Mo Langqin moved his fingers slightly, and then a ghost power flowed out from Mo Langqin's fingertips, and finally formed a bust of a woman with a kind face above Wang Fangruan's head.

"Well... their death was an accident, and there was nothing left at home. But I remember..."

While replying to Wang Fangruan, Mo Langqin was spying on Wang Fangruan's memory through the eyes of the female ghost beast.

"Remember what?"

Mo Langqin smiled secretly in his heart. He found a key memory. Wang Fangruan heard that his great-grandmother had lost a child. He was not sure whether it was a boy or a girl, but this memory could be used. As for the information about his great-grandmother, she liked to eat bitter vegetables very much.

"My dad once told me that my taste is very similar to my grandmother's, saying that we both like to eat bitter vegetables."

Hearing Mo Langqin's answer, Wang Fangruan's face showed the surprise that Mo Langqin had imagined, "Are you sure you like bitter vegetables?"

"of course."

The female ghost beast above Wang Fangruan’s head returned to Mo Langqin’s side.

It was impossible for ordinary people in the village to see the ghost beast unless Mo Langqin wanted them to see it. But now he didn't want them to discover the existence of the ghost beast.

"Xiao Ruan, have you thought of something?" Yan Cang saw that Wang Fangruan was lost in thought, so she asked curiously.

"It's a bit possible." Wang Fangruan muttered.

Yan Cang pricked up his ears and became more concerned, "What possibility? Tell me."

But Wang Fangruan did not give a definite answer because he was not sure. If he rashly confirmed it and something went wrong later, he would be too embarrassed. Besides, his marriage partner was still there, and if something went wrong, he would really be too ashamed to see Xiao Rong.

"Come with me first, Yan Cang, you stay with Xiao Rong first." After Wang Fangruan finished speaking, the quiet-looking girl let go of the other end of the wooden ruler and came to Yan Cang.

Wang Fangruan took back the wooden ruler and led Mo Langqin forward. He asked Mo Langqin, "What's your name?"

"Mo Langqin."

"How old is this year?"

"twelve."

"You are two years older than me." Wang Fangruan paused and continued to ask, "Do you know how old your father is?"

"I don't know, but he looks very young."

"Well... maybe I should call you uncle. But you might not be."

Mo Langqin followed Wang Fangruan's footsteps and walked behind him. He was older and taller than these children. When Wang Fangruan turned around and spoke to Mo Langqin, he had to raise his head slightly.

"Your surname is also Wang. Which of the two families are you from?" Mo Langqin asked Wang Fangruan.

Wang Fangruan turned his head to look at Yan Cang first and then looked at Mo Langqin, "Yan Cang told you that there are two families with the surname Wang in this village. I am from the family of Village Chief Wang, and Village Chief Wang is my great-grandfather. There is indeed a person in my family who loves to eat bitter vegetables as you said, and that person is my great-grandmother. If your father is my great-grandmother's child, then you may be my uncle."

He used the wooden ruler in his hand to measure slightly in front of Mo Langqin. "But I still need to talk to the elders about this matter. After all... you don't look like a member of our Wang family."

Yes, Wang Fangruan and the Wang family members in his memory all had round eyes and round facial features, which made them look very friendly. But Mo Langqin's eyes were long and narrow, with single eyelids, and a slightly high nose, which made him look cold and ruthless.

"I look like my mother." Mo Langqin subconsciously glanced at the female ghost beast floating beside him.

"Your mother has a very fair complexion." Wang Fangruan commented.

"Yes, she is quite white."

The female ghost beast smiled with narrowed eyes, her eyes were also narrow and long, exactly the same as Mo Langqin's eyes. But her appearance was softer than Mo Langqin's, and there was a touch of kindness in her smile.

After several detours, they finally arrived at a courtyard mansion built of bricks and tiles. Compared with other thatched and wooden brick houses in the village, this one was a bit too gorgeous. The walls were gray and the tiles were black pottery.

They entered through a side door and walked around a small garden arch before arriving at a small side room. This was the room that Wang Fangruan used specifically to meet with his friends.

"We're here. You go in and wait for a while. I'll go tell the adults." Wang Fangruan said this to Mo Langqin and the others, then turned around and gave a few instructions to the servants who followed them, and then left in a hurry.

“Go quickly, go quickly!” Yan Cang looked at Wang Fangruan’s back and urged him loudly a few times. She sat on the chair and looked at Mo Langqin through the small round table with a silly smile on her face. “It seems that you really may become a member of the Wang family. Then you can’t abandon me. I’ve heard from other girls that you boys will abandon your wives and children and live freely on your own as soon as you have money!” “…” Mo Langqin was speechless. He sat opposite Yan Cang. The servants of the palace also poured a cup of tea for the three of them.

Yan Cang was still smiling foolishly, while Xiao Rong sat stiffly on the side, looking particularly lonely and uncomfortable.

"Yan Cang, do you plan to live your whole life with love and fate?" Mo Langqin frowned and looked at Yan Cang's big eyes that blinked again and again and asked.

"This one……"

Before Yan Cang could say anything, Xiao Rong, who was quiet and reserved, suddenly spoke up, "If we don't live by love and fate, what should we do? We are born to live by boys and families. Your question is very strange."

"Don't you have anything you want to do? Even if you don't get married or look for a destiny, even if you are driven out of this village, you will still be alive. You just can't understand that kind of life now, and you are afraid of that day. No, rather than saying that you are afraid of the day when you have nowhere to go, it is more accurate to say that you are afraid of the unknown, afraid of all the unknowns."

Mo Langqin saw Xiao Rong's shock through the female ghost beast, but Xiao Rong did not show any obvious reaction. She did not say anything more.

Yan Cang, who was still lying on the round table, held up his cheeks and smiled at Mo Langqin infatuatedly, "As expected, the older you are, the more you know. Although I don't quite understand what you say, you are really amazing. You are my destined person, haha."

"... Eh, it's useless to say it." Mo Langqin felt inexplicably irritated when he saw the female ghost beast beside him laughing. He sighed and continued to say to Yan Cang, "Yan Cang, if you keep doing this, I don't think I will fall in love with you."

"No, you have to like me." Yan Cang's smile disappeared, she left her seat and hugged Mo Langqin's arm.

"Don't pull me." Mo Langqin didn't like someone pulling him like this. Yan Cang was too aggressive.

"Like me! Like me! You are the only one I have now!"

"Let go!"

Mo Langqin used a little too much force and Yan Cang was pushed to the ground. She looked shocked and then sad.

"Well... I'm sorry, please forgive me, I won't do this again!" Yan Cang held back the tears in her eyes. She didn't want to cry in front of Mo Langqin, and didn't want to appear weak.

"Forget it, just be quiet." Mo Langqin ignored Yan Cang and sat back in his chair, waiting for Wang Fangruan to come back.

The female ghost beast watched Xiao Rong help Yan Cang up, and then she floated to Mo Langqin's ear and whispered, "She really likes you, Langqin."

"Don't say this in my ear!" Mo Langqin just took a sip of tea to calm himself down, but when he heard this, he instantly clenched the teacup and became even more irritated.

The female ghost beast gently stroked Mo Langqin's cheek with her hand, [Mother is very satisfied with her. If she really marries Langqin in the future, she will definitely give birth to a very beautiful child. ]

〖I told you not to say that!〗

Mo Langqin crushed the teacup, and the broken porcelain pieces pierced into his palm, and red blood flowed out and dripped directly onto the ground.

The sudden noise startled Yan Cang and Xiao Rong. Yan Cang's eyes, which were originally filled with tears, curved and tears flowed directly out. She felt that Mo Langqin hated her.

"Hmm..." She buried her face in Xiao Rong's arms.

"It's okay, Yan Cang." Xiao Rong patted her back and whispered to comfort her.

The female ghost beast pressed down Mo Langqin's hand, and the blood on his hand quickly stopped.

[Only in this way can my Langqin have a home full of love. Mother only hopes that you can live happily throughout your life.]

Mo Langqin glanced at Yan Cang who was crying softly. Why are they all such annoying guys?

"I understand. Don't say any more. Go back, mother."

[Don't scare the little girl. Go wipe your hands, kid.] After saying that, the female ghost beast dispersed into ghost power and returned to Mo Langqin's palm.

Mo Langqin took a deep breath, then stood up and walked in front of Yan Cang.

"I'm sorry." Mo Langqin said as gently and friendly as possible, "I'm not angry with you, don't be afraid."

Yan Cang stopped sobbing but did not look at Mo Langqin. She still buried her face in Xiao Rong's arms.

Mo Langqin also raised his hand and gently patted Yan Cang on the back. He didn't say anything else but just walked to the Wang family servant and asked, "Excuse me, where can I wash my hands?"

"Please follow me." The servant took Mo Langqin out of the house. (End of this chapter)
