Maybe I shouldn't die.

Except for a few people who stayed behind to clean, a group of people soon arrived at Fang Yue's door.

Although Fang Yue was struggling over whether to meet the other party, she still had basic vigilance and soon noticed the movement at the door.

It seems that she doesn't need to worry about it anymore, as the other party has already come to her. Well, since she has used the blood-drawing technique, the other party will naturally react.

She was probably the only outsider in the entire inn, so it was normal for the other party to come looking for her, so she said to the outsider:

"Please come in."

A group of people came in in a mighty manner. However, looking at the man in front of her, Fang Yue really didn't have that familiar feeling. Could it be because they had been separated for too long that he felt a little strange?

But before she could get any more confused, the young man in black clothes who came in asked:

"But cousin Fang Yue?"

Fang Yue was stunned. The name matched, but he had never heard that he had a cousin? No, it should be said that she had never heard her father and brother talk about her maternal grandparents.

Could it be that the other party had recognized the wrong person? However, the bloodline-pulling technique would not go wrong. She could not help but use the technique again on the spot. The technique told her that the man in black clothes in front of her was indeed related to her.

Fang Yue's actions also indirectly confirmed the black-clothed man's guess that the other party might really be the cousin he had never met.

Just looking at the other party's performance, it seems that he doesn't know that he has an outside family, so he explained:

"My cousin has never heard any news from our family. But I have heard news about my cousin from my cousin Fang Li."

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he believed that the magic could not be wrong, and the other party also called out his elder brother's name, so Fang Yue nodded.

"I have indeed never heard my father and brothers talk about my grandparents' family."

The next words were not suitable for too many people to know, so the young man in black waved his hand, signaling his men to leave.

Although the guards were a little hesitant, they realized from the conversation that the other party might be one of their own, so they obediently left the room.

After everyone left, the young man in black clothes said:

"The following conversation involves family secrets. Please, cousin, set up a barrier."

Fang Yue thought the other party's request was very reasonable. Since her father and brother had never told her about her maternal grandparents' family, there must be some inside story.

She also didn't want too many people to know about her family's private affairs, so she set up a soundproof barrier as the other party requested, and then waited for the other party's explanation.

"That's enough. No one outside can hear our conversation."

Although the young man in black had heard of the magical methods of practitioners, this was his first time to come into such close contact with them, and he couldn't help but show amazement in his eyes.

Fortunately, those who practice cultivation fear cause and effect and cannot interfere with worldly affairs. Otherwise, with such a group of people possessing mysterious powers, the court would have a lot of headaches.

"The methods used by those who cultivate immortality are indeed miraculous."

Fang Yue smiled.

"Cousin, you are so kind."

The young man in black did not hesitate. He immediately took out a bottle of potion from his arms, slowly tore off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face.

"As a sign of sincerity, please take off your mask first, cousin."

This handsome face and eyes were more similar to the elder brother in her memory, and Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

"Since my cousin is so sincere, I can't keep it secret any longer."

So Fang Yue took off her disguise without hesitation, and a beautiful girl of about 128 years old immediately appeared in the room.

The young man in black couldn't help but show some surprise in his eyes. The woman in front of him was so similar to the portrait of his aunt that he saw in his father's study that he couldn't help but sigh.

"My cousin and my aunt are quite similar when they were young."

Fang Yue was slightly stunned. She had never seen her mother. She had only heard about her mother from her father and the servants who took care of her. They all said that her mother was a gentle and beautiful woman.

She had also seen her mother's portrait in her father's study, but the portrait was so abstract that she really couldn't imagine what she looked like.

Did he and she look similar? Blood relationship was a magical thing. Just like now, although we were different people, the other person could see the shadow of the other person in him.

Thinking of the woman who tried so hard to give birth to her, Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. She had never had a mother-daughter relationship in her two lifetimes.

The young man in black seemed to realize why his aunt died and that he had brought up some inappropriate topics, so he quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry. It's my fault for bringing up my cousin's sad memories."

The cousins ​​from other families all know what my mother looks like, which means that my mother was quite favored in my maternal family. After so many years, my family still misses her.

So she waved her hand and said nonchalantly:

"It's okay. My cousin can remember my mother. If my mother knew about this, she would be relieved."

The young man in black clothes didn't want to keep talking about such sad topics with his cousin on their first meeting, so he changed the subject and said:

“Back then, your father came to the capital to purchase goods and was robbed by gangsters on the road. He was saved by my aunt who was out burning incense.

Afterwards, your father came to thank me with a valuable gift, and because of that, he became somewhat connected to my family. If that was all, your aunt and your father would not have had any other interactions.

But later, as the princes vied for favor, the crown prince was framed and imprisoned. Because his grandfather was the crown prince's grand tutor, he was implicated and dismissed from office, and the whole family was thrown into prison.

At that time, His Majesty was furious, and many relatives and friends were afraid of being implicated, so no one dared to help. It was your father who spent countless silver and money to make things easier for our family in prison because he remembered your life-saving grace.

It was also at that time that your father confessed to your grandfather that he fell in love with your aunt at first sight, but had not dared to express it before because of his status. If your grandfather did not mind, he was willing to marry your aunt.

At that time, the imperial decree for the exile of the whole family had already been issued, and we would be leaving soon. The exile would be difficult, and your father was kind-hearted and willing to rescue your aunt, so your grandfather would naturally not disagree.

The marriage certificate was signed on the spot. With this marriage certificate, your father spent a lot of money to arrange it. In addition, those relatives and friends did not dare to help openly, but still gave some convenience in private.

So your aunt was successfully rescued, but even so, she couldn't stay in the capital. Your father escorted us all the way to the place of exile, and then he took your aunt to find a small town to settle down.

We would send some things every year, but the control in the place of exile was strict, so we were never able to see each other. However, we also learned the news of your and your cousin's birth from the letters we exchanged.

Later, the late emperor was poisoned, the third prince rebelled, and the East Palace was framed. The Crown Prince was released from prison, and our family was finally vindicated and returned to the capital."

She didn't expect that there was such a connection between her father and mother. She had never heard her father talk about it before, and she thought she didn't have any grandfather.

"Then how did the two families recognize each other?"

"At that time, your father had already taken you to seek medical treatment. We had no way of knowing your father and brother, so naturally we could not look for them."
