The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

118. I Don't Understand

At first, Xue Fanxin thought that he was just a youngster from the Duke's Residence. If he went any further, he would be the abandoned child of the Xue family. Identity like that is no big deal.

However, with the appearance of the Heaven Wheel of Inverted Spirit, the letters left behind by his father, the mysteriousness of his mother, and the things he obtained from the grave of his great-grandmother today, etc… All of this proves that his background is incredible.

What is the background of his parents?

"Ah Jiu, do you think I'm from the Phoenix Clan?" Seeing Ye Jiushang doing well holding the Phoenix Badge, Xue Fanxin took out other items inside the jade box.

First, he looked at the Jade Phoenix Hairpin. It was crystal blue in color and emitted a watery crystal blue light. Under the sun, the phoenix carved into the jade hairpin seemed to be alive as it gleamed. The feathers on his body occasionally flickered.

This jade hairpin is very special.

Ye Jiushang also observed the jade hairpin. He looked at the Phoenix Badge in his hand and felt his guess might be correct.

Even if little Xin'er wasn't from the Phoenix clan, she definitely had a relationship with them.

But this Phoenix clan is extremely difficult to investigate.

Ye Jiushang did not speak for a long time, so Xue Fanxin raised her head and saw her thinking hard. He asked curiously, “Ah Jiu, what are you thinking? You're so engrossed in your thoughts.”

"There's nothing. Just based on these things, I can't be sure if you are from the Phoenix clan, but it's true that you are related to them, don't guess randomly. Is there a letter in it? Take him out." Ye Jiushang did not think about the Phoenix clan and did not voice his guess.

To the current little Xin'er, the Phoenix Clan was too far away. Knowing this might not be a good thing for him.

Although the Phoenix Badge and Jade Phoenix Hair Clamp were things that were contested by many, having these things meant that one had to shoulder certain responsibilities or even destiny…

He did not want little Xin'er to bear such a huge burden.

Xue Fanxin had never been a person who liked to ask endlessly. If Ye Jiushang was unwilling to say it, he would give him some respect.

"Oh right, there's also a letter." Xue Fanxin placed the Jade Phoenix Hairpin back into the box and took out the letter. However, he could not understand a single word.

“Ah Jiu, what is written there? I can't understand it at all. I don't even know which country it comes from.”

“This is an ancient language unique to the Phoenix Clan. There are very few people who can understand it now. Even the people from the Phoenix Clan were unaware of such ancient words. I know a little."

Ye Jiushang took the letter from Xue Fanxin's hand and read it carefully a few times before he roughly understood its meaning. He just has a surface understanding, doesn't get the right message.

"Ah Jiu, what is written there?"

“What I understand is that whoever gets the Phoenix Badge and the Phoenix Jade Hairpin must bring these two things back to the Phoenix clan. I don't understand the words below.”

If they did not understand, it meant that they did not know what would happen after they brought the thing back to the Phoenix clan.

Xue Fanxin was silent. He put everything back into the jade box indifferently and closed it. “Klan Phoenix or what Dragon Clan? These things have nothing to do with me. The most important thing now is to find the tomb of the Spacetime Emperor and protect my life. I don't care about the rest.”

"You better think that." Ye Jiushang admired Xue Fanxin even more.

There were not many people in this world who could resist the temptation of the Phoenix Badge and the Jade Phoenix Hairpin. The reason she had not told little Xin'er too much about these two treasures was because she was worried that she would be blinded by their names.

He seems to think too much about it. Little Xin'er was a rational and reasonable person.

He turned his attention to the grave. Looking at the shattered tombstone, he felt a little embarrassed and guilty. He knelt before the grave and kowtowed a few times, saying sincerely, “Grandmother great, I am Xue Fanxin, your female great-granddaughter. My visit today was not planned, so I did not prepare any incense. I even crushed your tombstone. I'm so sorry. I'll kowtow and admit my mistake here.”

"Little xin'er, what are you doing?" Ye Jiushang looked at Xue Fanxin who was prostrating very seriously and found her sweet. He waited for her to finish before speaking.

Xue Fanxin said seriously, “Of course, I apologize to my great-grandmother! We smashed his tombstone. This is a great disrespect to the dead. Moreover, the person inside was my great-grandmother. As a junior, I had to kowtow to him several times.”

“You must indeed prostrate to an older person, but you must prostrate to the real person.”

"What do you mean?"

“There is only an empty coffin inside. No one in it.”

"What's? How come? How do you know there's an empty coffin in there?” Xue Fanxin stood in shock and looked at the grave with her eyes wide open. No matter how he looked, he did not know if there was anyone in the cemetery.

Could Ah Jiu have X-ray vision and be able to see through the barrier?

“Seeing from the trail at the scene, this grave had already been excavated many times, most likely by the Xue family, or it could have been others. Those people won't respect your great-grandmother. As they dig the grave, they will definitely open the coffin.”

“You mean they took the skeleton of my great-grandmother?”

"That's a possibility, but there might as well be no one in the tomb, to begin with."

"That's impossible, right?" Although Xue Fanxin found it hard to believe, she had an inexplicable trust in Ye Jiushang. No matter what she said, she would believe him.

Ye Jiushang smiled mysteriously. Then, he took a handful of soil from the grave and placed it under his nose to smell it. He smashed the ground and said, “This land emits a rather special spirit energy, which contains an aura of death. Moreover, it was not an ordinary death aura.”

"Ah Jiu, I don't understand." Not only was he a little confused, he couldn't understand it at all.

“To put it simply, the land is polluted with death aura. The aura of death condensed from the complaints of countless dead people. It can only be found in large-scale tombs and such places.”

"I still don't understand."

“In other words, there must be a great many bones and vengeful spirits under this tomb. If your great-grandmother is really buried here, her bones will be destroyed by those vengeful spirits or she alone will become one. How does the vengeful spirit tolerate others digging its grave over and over again? From the tombstone of your great-grandmother, I know that the person who buried her must not have been simple. Do you think that person will bury your great-grandmother in a gathering place of vengeful spirits?”

He was now certain that Shui Qianrou was not buried here. There must be an empty coffin in the grave.

However, there was too much mystery in this matter. Only by digging the grave and opening the coffin could he know more.

Xue Fanxin understood a little now. He's starting to get a little scared. Looking at the grave in front of him, he felt his blood turn cold.

Didn't Ah Jiu mean that there was something unclean nearby?

The things that flutter are scary.

"Zhuri, dig the grave." Ye Jiushang did not ask Xue Fanxin's permission. After observing Shui Qianrou's grave many times, he gave orders to Zhuri.

He wanted to see what was hidden under the tomb.
