C11 (2/2)

On the other hand, when Grandpa Chen and Yi Yun started talking to each other, they seemed to be chatting and laughing like friends that hadn't seen each other in years.

”Sir, you're a very capable person. Have you ever come to our Southern Mountains in the past few years?”

”I've been busy before, but I haven't been here yet.”

”Sigh, this place can't be considered as a place with outstanding talents. The only one that could be more powerful is Fan Youzi's grandfather. It's a pity that Mister came too late, otherwise we might have been able to see him again.”

”This old mister is too modest. In my opinion, this old mister is extremely capable.” Yi Yun's eyes narrowed, as if there was a hidden meaning behind his words.

Grandpa Chen chuckled and glanced behind me. He waved his hand. ”What kind of ability is this? I'm just bluffing.”

I saw the two of them talking back and forth at the side, as if they were trying to solve a riddle. I couldn't help but forcefully raise my interest. I kept having the feeling that there was something more in their conversation.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and I couldn't help but shiver. My eyes shifted, and I saw a black shadow suddenly pass by the table, disappearing behind Grandpa Chen before I could clearly see it.

I couldn't help but be taken aback. I focused my eyes and saw that there wasn't anything. It was as though there was some kind of illusion.

”What's wrong?” Yi Yun turned his head and looked at me.

”I'm fine.” I shook my head and smiled faintly, thinking that I was probably too tired from the last few days.

”Come, let's go take a look.” After dinner, Yi Yun bid farewell to Grandpa Chen and headed in the direction of my house.

”Grandpa Chen isn't going?” I looked back at Grandpa Chen, who was watching us leave with a faint look on his face.

”If Mr. Chen isn't going, he still has other things to do.” Yi Yun didn't wait for Grandpa Chen's reply.

I felt even more baffled when I heard this. I kept having the feeling that something was amiss. However, for a moment, I couldn't find anything to say. I could only follow Yi Yun and leave expressionlessly.

From afar, I could see that the lights in the room next door were bright, gongs and drums shaking the sky, and the faint sound of heartbreaking wails and howls could be heard.

”Listen to my arrangements when you get there. Don't act without thinking.” Yi Yun suddenly stood still and looked at me fixedly.

I nodded slightly.

”Meow.” Suddenly, a mournful sound of a cat was heard. My scalp went numb as I focused my gaze. I saw a completely black cat squatting on the wall next door. It glared at us with its two green eyes.

My heart freezes. Isn't this the strange black cat that appeared in my father's mourning hall last night?

As if warning, the moment we got a few steps closer, the black cat immediately bared its fangs and bared its fur.

”This black cat is quite interesting!” Yi Yun gave me a faint smile before retracting his expression and glaring at the black cat.

Just from this glance alone, the black cat immediately let out a 'meow' and fled in panic with its tail between its legs.

”You dog, come back!” As soon as the black cat ran away, an old lady appeared at the next door. Her face was like that of a clay sculpture, and her eyes were dull.

”It's getting more and more interesting.” Yi Yun looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile, revealing an intriguing expression, which made me even more curious.

Even though I didn't have any good feelings towards the neighboring room, I didn't have any bad feelings about it. Moreover, it was obvious that something big must have happened in his house.

”Let's go in and see what's going on.” Yi Yun ignored the old lady at the door and walked straight in.

However, just as he took a step forward, he was stopped.

”We don't welcome you here. Scram!” A burly man blocked the door with a furious expression on his face. It was as if he had a deep grudge with me.
