Sima You Yue knew that An Lei was relatively more wary against the eastern Lai Clan. This was something that had been ingrained into her bones since she was a child, and not something that would be changed just by following her for a few years.

“Relax.” She patted An Lei’s hand and suddenly understood why Aunty Feng and the others would pat her hands. “Relax, nobody will be able to bully you here.”

“Mm.” An Lei said this, but she was still heavily guarded.

“Don’t be afraid, my father and I are here!” Sima You Yue smiled towards her.

An Lei’s eyes immediately turned red. In the past, when she had been bullied, how much did she wish that someone would tell her: Don’t worry, I’m here.

Her life back then had been torturous, but nobody had ever said this to her. She didn’t think that, returning back here, she would be able to hear these very words.

“Young Miss…” She held onto Sima You Yue’s hands and choked up. She couldn’t say anything else.

“How old are you, you still have snot running from your nose from crying.” Sima You yue hooked her nose and teased.

“No I don’t! The wind is just too strong, so my eyes are just blurry.” An Lei said sheepishly.

Sima You Yue smiled and stopped teasing her.

Once the time came, one of the elders came to take them to the grave.

The entire process was simple. Sima You Yue and her father, along with An Lei, lit some incense for An Lei’s mother before the guards that the Eastern Lai Clan had brought over started to dig. They straightforwardly dug the coffin out.

An Lei walked over and supported the coffin with both hands as her tears fell gently.

“Mother, your daughter has come to take you with me.”

She cried for a long time before she finally kept the coffin into her interspatial ring and returned to Sima YoU Yue’s side.

“An Lei, what about your father?”

“There was once my father was out at sea, and he died there. That is why there is no remains.” An Lei wiped her tears away, “When mother was buried, my father’s remains were placed in as well, so it can be considered that they have been reunited. Right now, my family is back together again.”

Sima You Yue understood and said to the elder who came with her, “Elder, we have already retrieved the coffin and have to rush back to catch the auspicious hour to bury her. Can we trouble you to make things easy for us and send us out?”

“So quick? Patriarch has even said to let you remain on the island for a few more days. We have expanded quite a bit of effort to obtain some suitable land for you.” The elder said with a bit of surprise.

“We have calculated for the most auspicious time. Otherwise, it will be a long time before we can catch the next one. That is why time is rather tight.” Sima You Yue casually made up an excuse.

“Since that is the case, then we really cannot keep you. I will send you out now.” The elder was secretly happy after making the suggestion, and he couldn’t wait to send them off.

Once Sima You Yue and her group of three had left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They were finally able to rid themselves of this pestilence and it was great that no conflict had happened.

The guards over at that side didn’t think that she would return so quickly. They had not had the opportunity to notify the town master before Sima You Yue and the others left.

After retrieving her mother’s remains, An Lei had finally accomplished what she had always wanted to do. Her mood was pretty good throughout the journey.

“Young Miss, did you realise that the instant that the teleportation array activated, the expressions of those people were a sight to behold. Hehe, I’ve never seen them look like that before. It was as if they were looking at demons and were finally able to get rid of us and were celebrating.” An Lei said with a laugh.

“Is there anyone who describes themselves like you do?” Sima You Yue found it amusing as well. Because she had past experiences here, when she came, they all acted like they were facing a huge enemy. Now that she had left, they were finally able to heave a sigh of relief. “Now that you mention it, where do you plan to cremate your mother?”
