Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 418 I Won't Really Kill You
“Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, let’s not worry about those people right now. Our family’s grave isn’t without problems either.”

Xi Jingyue's reminder made everyone realize that their family's grave was also emitting smoke, but it was different from other graves; it was emitting bluish smoke.

"This……"

Before Old Master Xi could finish speaking, the wisps of smoke rising gracefully from the tombstone suddenly stirred and flew straight toward them.

The Xi family members: "!!!"

"Watch out!" Xi Jingyue immediately stood in front of his grandparents and parents.

The third uncle quickly shielded his wife and daughter behind him, and the other families also made similar reactions.

However, to everyone's surprise, this wisp of smoke did not roar and kill them like the black smoke from the other grave mounds. Instead, it drifted leisurely past them, bringing a faint warmth that invigorated them.

Grandpa Xi subconsciously reached out to grab it, but the green smoke swept past everyone without stopping and headed straight for Du Anrao.

The Xi family members: "???" What's going on? Ancestor, are you sure you haven't mistaken the child for someone else? That's not our child, you can't touch him!
Unfortunately, the wisp of smoke seemed not to hear their calls. It remained stubborn and excitedly drifted to Du Anrao's side, circled around her without touching her, and finally, in a fit of whimsy, it rolled up some tin foil ingots and showered her with a shower of ingots.

The Xi family members: "!!!"

Du Anrao, a little dazed from being hit by the paper ingots, thought: "???" What's going on?
Xi Jingyue was unaware of the inside story, but Du Hexuan, who was guarding the side, almost immediately thought of the bad news he had just learned not long ago. He angrily rushed forward and tried to physically dispel the green smoke.

"Go away, go away! An'an is a member of the Du family, and has absolutely nothing to do with your Xi family. Go back and find your own child, and stop bothering my sister!"

Seeing this, Xi Jingyue felt quite embarrassed and tentatively called out, "He's right, Great-Grandpa, come back quickly. An'an really isn't a member of our Xi family. Don't scare her."

The two men's words seemed to have some effect; the wisp of smoke stopped bothering Du Anrao and instead drifted to Xi Jingyue's side.

Xi Jingyue's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a hard kick to the butt.

"???"

The wisp of smoke seemed to feel that one kick was not enough, so it followed up with another kick, and then drifted away before anyone could react.

Xi Jingyue, who was inexplicably kicked twice: "???" So, ancestor, you went to all this trouble to manifest your power just to kick me twice? What grudge do you hold against me?
Xi Jingyue felt somewhat wronged, but when she turned her head and saw the other relatives making a ruckus not far away, she suddenly felt that her ancestors had already been quite good to her.

The farce lasted for an hour before finally coming to an end. At that time, apart from Xi Jingyue's family, a few distant relatives who were on good terms with them and had not done anything wrong, and Du Anrao and others, everyone else was disheveled, with their hair in disarray and covered in dust.

Even Jiang Yiming, who came along with Xi Yanjia just to make a name for himself, was implicated and beaten up several times. He was also trampled on by a few young people who were rushing in without thinking. His white suit was covered with footprints, which was quite comical.

Several descendants who had been given special attention by their ancestors were bruised and battered, looking completely disheveled. They were a far cry from the dignified and elegant figures they had been when they first came to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.
As the first person to openly criticize Du Anrao, Xi Yanying also received special attention from his own ancestors. At this moment, he felt pain all over his body and was still in shock. He also vented his anger on Du Anrao, the "culprit".

Seeing the black smoke dissipate, he suddenly felt powerful again. Trembling, he pointed at Du Anrao and roared, "Witch! You witch! It's all because of you that we've encountered this! You ruined our ancestral worship ceremony, you must give us an explanation!" Although the others didn't speak, their gazes towards Du Anrao were also cold and icy. Clearly, like Xi Yanyi, they blamed Du Anrao for everything that had happened that day.

Du Hexuan and the others' expressions darkened slightly, and they subconsciously wanted to step forward and beat them up.

Compared to their frustration and anger, Du Anrao was much calmer.

She glanced at the group with a subtle expression, not quite understanding their thought process.

"You still want me to give you an explanation? At first, you questioned me and asked me for an explanation, which I did. You all saw with your own eyes what the situation was like at your ancestral graves, and you even had the valuable experience of being chased by the resentment of your ancestors. Now that the resentment of your ancestors has dissipated, you want me to give you an explanation again. Aren't you afraid that they will come back for you?"

Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, the group, who had been tormented for an hour, unconsciously shuddered.

"You...you're just spreading alarmist rumors. The black smoke has dissipated; how could they possibly come back looking for us?"

"The black smoke has dissipated, but that doesn't mean the resentment of your ancestors has disappeared. What happened just now was merely an appetizer. If you continue to be stubborn, they will come back to haunt you sooner or later. As for sooner or later, it may depend on their mood. It could be a month later, a week later, or it could be tonight. It all depends on your luck."

Du Anrao's words were not an exaggeration. Despite the impressive display of black smoke, it was nothing more than the resentment of the tomb's occupant.

The souls of the dead, regardless of whether they have been reincarnated, cannot appear in the mortal world at will.

But after today's events, these elders must have realized that while they cannot appear directly in front of their descendants, it doesn't mean they can't use some medium to teach these unfilial descendants a lesson, just like the black smoke that just appeared.

For example, dreaming is one of the most efficient methods that leaves the least lasting effects.

Du Anrao's gaze swept over Xi Yanying and the young people behind him, the probing and sympathy in his eyes sending chills down everyone's spines.

"You...you shouldn't try to scare us with these alarmist words. We absolutely won't believe you."

"If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. I have nothing to lose."

"you!"

"enough!"

Xi Yanying wanted to continue arguing, but Old Master Xi impatiently interrupted him first: "Miss Du is a distinguished guest we specially invited. She is not a cat or dog that you can offend at will. Let's leave it at that for today. Try to put the incense up now."

"If it's possible, that would be great; if not, there's no need to force it. Go back and find a few masters to take a look at the situation here. They are your elders, so they probably won't really take your lives. Take care of yourselves."

Everyone: "..." They might not be spared, but given the momentum just now, it's not certain!
