C31 (1/2)

Great Immortal Li was a cunning old fox. With his vast experience, he could deal with Tang Ran as he wished.

After speaking so indifferently, Tang Ran, who was at the side, immediately blushed and his neck became thick.

It was obvious that Great Immortal Li was right.

Tang Ran knew that he was in the wrong and stammered, ”What else is there to say? That ghost girl wanted to harm me just now. Is there anything wrong with me helping her?”

”No, no, I didn't say that you're in the wrong. It's true that we should stop the female ghost from harming us, but after that, you should have a chance to ask what's going on. Why is she so resentful? Why does she want to stay in the mortal realm?” Great Immortal Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

When he said this, Tang Ran became speechless once again.

After a moment, he slightly narrowed his eyes and said while looking at Old Man Li, ”If that's the case, then it's the fault of the younger generation. May I ask if Mister Li has already grasped the grievances of the female ghost?”

Great Deity Li seemed to be waiting for Tang Ran to say these words. Thus, when he finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he smiled and said, ”That's right, I was fortunate enough to hear about the ghost lady's story and was extremely sympathetic. That's why I didn't make my move. I wonder if the two of you would be willing to listen?”

I know very little about my mother's death.

Every time I tried to find out what had happened to my mother when she died, my father and my grandmother and my uncle had kept it a secret and had never told me the truth.

Now that Great Immortal Li said this, it piqued my interest. I couldn't help but squint my eyes as I looked at Great Immortal Li, waiting for his explanation.

Since Tang Ran wasn't going to force his way through now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue listening in.

Great deity Li looked at me with a weird expression. Then, he pointed to my mother and said, ”Little boy, it's your father. He did something that let your mother down. You need to know this. If it wasn't for him, your mother wouldn't have died.”

I started.

I don't seem to understand what Great Immortal Li is saying.

Did my father do something wrong to my mother? Could it be that the old man was telling me that my mother's death had something to do with my father?

I had long thought that my father's actions had always been extremely strange. Everything he did was concealed from me, and every time I went to inquire, he would tell me that he didn't want me to ask too many questions. It was all for my own good.

Now I finally understand, things are definitely not that simple.

In this way, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and say to Great Immortal Li, ”I'll have to trouble you to speak clearly. Your vague words will easily cause people to misunderstand.”

”Heh heh, since you want to hear it, I'm willing to tell you. Your father and Old Wangyou have teamed up and ended up harming your mother for the rest of her life.”

When Old Wang said this, I vaguely felt that it was a bit strange. He said every word very seriously, and I also listened very seriously. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to be lying.

Hearing this, my body inexplicably trembled.

He immediately asked, ”What did the two of them do to my mother?”

This old man seems to be intentionally hiding something. I can't tell what happened from his mouth.

Facing my question, Great Immortal Li only coldly said, ”Your father has done something that is worse than an animal. As for what it is, I think he knows it better than me. Moreover, from his mouth, it's probably easier for you to believe.”

With that, Great Immortal Li left Old Wang's home with his mother's soul.

And now, all that's left is me and Tang Ran by my side.

The news I had just heard was undoubtedly a great shock to me.

I thought that things had been resolved and that nothing strange would happen in the village.

But with Old Wang's death and what Great Immortal Li said just now, I seem to feel that this matter wasn't over. Moreover, this seemed to be just the beginning.

Great Immortal Li took away Mother, and when I wanted to ask about them, I could no longer see them.

I immediately asked Tang Ran, ”Do you think what he said is true?”

Tang Ran shook his head. ”I'm not sure either. Since Great Immortal Li insisted that it was your father that harmed your mother, we need to face him face to face. We can't believe one side of what Great Immortal Li says, can we?”

What he said reminded me, and I immediately nodded. ”That's right, but now that we lost father, no one knows where he went.”

Tang Ran didn't mind my worry so he shook his head and said, ”You don't have to worry about that. The village is only this big. Let's just look around.”

In view of our suspicions that Father might have gone to Old Wang's grave, we decided to confront Father in person, and went straight to Old Wang's grave, where we planned to ask Father what was going on.

But when we got to the grave of the old man's head, there was no sign of my father.
