Jiang Feng and Mu Yanluo returned home to find Mu Shuisheng and his wife Ruan Xiuning still awake.

As guests, they felt it was impolite to go to bed before Jiang Feng returned.

Seeing Jiang Feng and their daughter come in, Mu Shuisheng, who was drinking tea in the living room, smiled and asked, "Xiao Feng, you're back, where have you been wandering?"

"Just took a casual stroll."

As they discussed on the way, Jiang Feng didn't show any hint of suspicion and casually sat down on the stool opposite Mu Shuisheng.

"Quick, have some tea. Our village has changed a lot, hasn't it? Haha, you haven't been to the east end yet, it's even more remarkable now. Wei Yongbo has already developed it into a very upscale area, but unfortunately, it's not a place for people like us to go casually."

Mu Shuisheng, still smiling, poured tea for Jiang Feng.

"Dad, I was just about to ask you."

Mu Yanluo exchanged a glance with Jiang Feng, then sat down opposite Mu Shuisheng as well: "When the Wei Family moved the ancestral graves, did anyone in the village see it with their own eyes?"

"Hmm?"

Mu Shuisheng was taken aback: "Everyone saw it, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"No, I mean, did you actually see them moving the graves, or did you just see the commotion?" Mu Yanluo asked again.

"Well..."

Mu Shuisheng thought for a moment: "Of course, we only saw the commotion. Who goes up close for such things? But how could moving ancestral graves be fake? The Wei Family's ancestral graves were moved to the back mountain, and I heard they specifically built a cemetery."

Mu Yanluo nodded quietly. It seemed Jiang Feng's judgment was correct; the villagers at most just saw the Wei Family making a big fuss and spreading rumors, without knowing if they actually did any construction.

"Apart from moving the ancestral graves and renovating the village, has the Wei Family done anything else this year that the villagers found strange?" Jiang Feng asked.

"No! Really nothing else, at least I don't remember anything,"

Mu Shuisheng shook his head, puzzled: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Luo, why are you suddenly so interested in the Wei Family?"

"Dad, Jiang Feng asks for a reason, just think carefully, any unusual actions of the Wei Family, try to recall."

"There's really nothing, why would I lie to you?"

Mu Shuisheng said: "However, when the Wei Family was constructing the ancestral graves, they did do some work on Yaozi Mountain at the east end, all the stones were mined from there. But after mining the stones, the Wei Family sealed off Yaozi Mountain, forbidding villagers to go in as they pleased, which left many who used to hunt there without a place to go."

"Yaozi Mountain?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"Long Family Village has two mountains. The one we just visited, commonly known as the back mountain, is behind the village, while Yaozi Mountain is to the east of the village and has a lower elevation," Mu Yanluo explained.

"So after mining the stones, no one was allowed to go up again?" Jiang Feng asked Mu Shuisheng once more.

"Yes." Mu Shuisheng nodded: "No one was allowed to go again, but some villagers secretly tried, taking advantage of the Wei Family's inattention, to hunt at night. But they encountered a ghost wall... took a long time to get out! And when they returned the next day, they were so scared that they fell ill and have been crazy ever since."

"Ghost wall?"

Jiang Feng's frown deepened.

He knew that ghost walls couldn't possibly exist. At most, it was just traps or an Eye-blocking Technique.

But if Wei Yongbo could set up a "Jueyin Formation," setting up a maze would be nothing.

Rural people generally had low cultural levels, limited understanding, and a tendency toward superstition, making them easy to fool.

But why seal off a perfectly fine Yaozi Mountain and use tricks?

Suddenly, Jiang Feng had an epiphany!

"I see, I know now!"

The Wei Family mining stones from Yaozi Mountain to build a cemetery in the back mountain was a facade.

In truth, Wei Yongbo probably hid the real ancestral grave, which is the core of the "Jueyin Formation," inside Yaozi Mountain!

Thus, he intended to create confusion, deliberately shifting the villagers' attention, confusing the real with the fake!

"Jiang Feng, what do you know?" Mu Yanluo asked Jiang Feng softly.

"Tomorrow, we'll take a trip to Yaozi Mountain," Jiang Feng said concisely.

"You mean, the Wei Family's ancestral graves... are in Yaozi Mountain?" Mu Yanluo quickly understood and asked.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

Mu Yanluo's expression immediately changed, shocked by Wei Yongbo's clever tactics.

A true case of swapping beams for pillars, secretly ferrying across the stronghold!

"Then tomorrow, I'll accompany you. I want to see just how cunning Wei Yongbo has become!" Mu Yanluo said angrily.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Luo, what are you two whispering about?"

Mu Shuisheng looked at them curiously and asked.

"Nothing much, Uncle Mu, it's getting late. You and Auntie should go rest," Jiang Feng said to Mu Shuisheng.

"Yes, you two should rest early as well. It's not like the city here; there's not much entertainment, and we usually do go to bed early," Mu Shuisheng chuckled.

At this time, Ruan Xiuning also came out from a small side room. She smiled at Jiang Feng and Mu Yanluo and said: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Luo, I've arranged your rooms, with new quilts and mattresses. Rest early, tomorrow we'll go out to buy some meat and make dumplings for you at noon."

Watching her mother busy, Mu Yanluo's pale cheeks warmed up again with a flush.

In the end, her parents still misunderstood her relationship with Jiang Feng, openly allowing them to sleep in the same room...

Although Mu Yanluo didn't reject the idea inside, willing from both body and heart to be Jiang Feng's woman, letting him do as he pleased.

However, she feared that Jiang Feng would not agree or like it...

And Jiang Feng's attitude was already evident; he wouldn't accept her for the time being. How could she force Jiang Feng's will?

Moreover, as an older single woman, still a virgin, she had some pride in her bones and couldn't seem too cheap, not wanting Jiang Feng to look down on her by casually sharing a room with him.

"Mom, actually..."

"Oh, alright, alright, Xiao Luo, don't worry. Your dad and I aren't that old-fashioned. Didn't we say before? We both support you and Xiao Feng, just be the same at home as you are outside. Anyway, once we close our door, we can't hear anything," Ruan Xiuning said with a mischievous smile.

This statement left Mu Yanluo with no place to hide!

What does it mean to be outside as you are at home?

When did she and Jiang Feng ever "be" anything?

But now, even if she wanted to explain, it couldn't be clarified. All she could do was blush and glance at Jiang Feng, her cheeks burning hotter.
