I was stunned for a moment, then I remembered that we had agreed to go see the waterfall.

But for some reason, the Chi family’s ancestral hall gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.

I kind of don't want to stay here much longer.

When Chi Yu heard her say she was leaving, he spoke sarcastically without even thinking.

"You just leave after lighting a stick of incense. You are such an unfilial descendant!"

I can see that Chi Yu is jealous of me.

Last time, I finally took the opportunity to trick Gu Hanting into the Chi family and drugged him.

But it turned out to be a good deal for me.

She has always been brooding over this matter.

"Isn't it enough for the Chi family to have a filial descendant like you?" I squinted at her and retorted mercilessly.

"Besides, the blood flowing in my body is not from the Chi family. No matter how filial I am to the Chi family ancestors, they will definitely not look down on me."

Chi Yu curled his lips and said, "That's true. For someone like you who has an unknown origin, our Chi family's ancestors did..."

Her mouth was faster than her brain, and Father Chi was too late to stop her.

All they could do was watch Gu Hanting's face suddenly turn cold, "Since the Chi family despises our Xixi so much, why did they specially invite us to worship our ancestors?"

"Let's go, Xixi. Since they don't welcome us, there's no need for us to stay."

Mr. Chi suddenly panicked.

The main reason why he asked Gu Hanting to come here today was to make him feel a sense of belonging to the Chi family together with me.

In this way, Gu Hanting would feel embarrassed to refuse his request in the future.

But I didn't expect that Chi Yu, who was so stupid, would cause such a scene.

He glared at Chi Yu angrily and quickly chased after him, “Mr. Gu, don’t get me wrong, Xiaoyu didn’t mean that.”

"If we didn't consider Xixi as our own, why would we have trained her so carefully for so many years?"

"And Xixi's parents have been missing for a long time, but we haven't given up on her."

"Xiaoyu is a child who speaks without thinking. She actually has no ill intentions."

"It's also our fault. It took us so many years to find out that she is our biological daughter, and she has suffered a lot."

"That's why she has a problem with Xixi."

I lowered my head and said nothing.

It's obvious that what Mr. Chi said were just excuses, and I really have no interest in arguing with him.

Gu Hanting seemed to be convinced by his reasons and stopped making a fuss about leaving.

But he didn't say anything. He just held my hand and stood there with a sullen face.

Father Chi heaved a sigh of relief and continued with the rest of the sacrificial ceremony.

Chi Yu was not convinced by what Chi's father had said to her. She glared at me with resentment and wanted to say something, but was pinched on the arm by Chi's mother.

She groaned in pain and couldn't help shouting, "Mom, why are you pinching me?"

Mother Chi rolled her eyes speechlessly, wondering how could she have given birth to such a stupid daughter.

But he still laughed and said, "I didn't pinch you, I just saw a bug on your arm and took a picture of it for you."

"Maybe I used too much force. I apologize to you."

As he spoke, he winked at her suggestively.

Although Chi Yu is stupid, he is not hopeless.

She also knew that her father had called Chi Xi and Gu Hanting here today for a purpose.

But they didn't tell her what the specific purpose was.

Moreover, seeing how Gu Han Ting was protecting that bitch Chi Xi, she really couldn't bear it at all.

However, her mother's action just now made her realize that she must have said something wrong, so she held her aching arm and dared not speak.

However, seeing that she looked unconvinced, I wondered what she was cursing me in her heart.

I was too lazy to pay attention, but looked up at Gu Hanting and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

I was already surprised that he agreed to attend the Chi family's ancestor worship, and now he stayed because of a few words from Chi's father.

He shouldn't be such a kind person who would be persuaded by a few pitiful words.

It only means that he has his own purpose.

But if he doesn't explain it clearly, how can I know how to cooperate with him?

"You'll find out later."

Gu Hanting pinched my palm, with a strong hint of meaning.

Although I was puzzled, seeing that he seemed to have his own considerations, I could only choose to believe him.

We stood there for about half an hour, waiting for Mr. Chi to complete all the steps required for the sacrifice, then he turned around and spoke to us.

"Okay, you must be tired after standing for such a long time."

"The old house has several bedrooms. Villagers usually come to help clean it. It's clean. You can go over and have a rest."

Gu Hanting didn't say anything and took me towards the lounge that Mr. Chi mentioned.

Along the way, he held my hand, and the warm touch spread from my palm to my heart.

I didn't pull Gu Hanting's hand until I could no longer see the Chi family.

"Okay, can we talk now?"

Gu Hanting paused, "What did you say?"

"What is your purpose?"

The purpose of his coming here was to suddenly listen to Chi's father's words.

I don't believe he just came to see the waterfall on a whim.

Gu Hanting suddenly smiled, and that smile was a little... how to put it, a little evil.

"Have you heard of the legend of the Chi family's old house?"

He said this suddenly, and my heart skipped a beat at his deliberately lowered voice.

"What, what legend?"

"It is said that the Chi family's old house... is haunted!" Gu Hanting stretched out his tone.

I felt a chill on my back, and subconsciously moved closer to him, tightly holding his arm, "Don't talk nonsense, where did this ghost come from in this world?"

In fact, after experiencing a series of strange events such as becoming a ghost and being reborn, I now actually believe in these things.

I just didn't want him to suspect me, so I pretended not to believe in ghosts.

Gu Hanting raised the corner of his mouth and leaned close to my ear in a mysterious voice.

"I sent someone to investigate the Chi family's background, and they said that the old man in the Chi family was a cowherd."

"But suddenly a large amount of wealth appeared in his home out of nowhere, and then he started a business with that unknown money."

"After that, whenever the Chi family encountered problems in their operations, a large amount of funds would suddenly flow into the Chi family's account."

"Over time, there was a rumor that the Chi family had a ghost."

"Their funds of unknown origin were stolen with the help of ghosts."

When he spoke, his voice was very low, which, combined with the already gloomy environment of the Chi family, instantly gave me goosebumps.

I hid in his arms in fear, grabbing the clothes on his chest.

"Since this place is haunted, why did you come here? Aren't you afraid that the Chi family will use evil spirits to possess us and control us?"

"What if he really lets the devil possess us and asks you to transfer all your property to him?"

"You should have told me before you came. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to come no matter what."

Having experienced ghost experiences myself, I now firmly believe in ghosts.

You know, when I'm a ghost, I can go wherever I want.

If you want to go through a wall, go through it.

I have deeply experienced the magic of ghosts.
