The journey down the mountain was more difficult than going up, especially carrying the heavy coffin, which tested everyone's physical strength and endurance.

But no one backed down. Everyone gritted their teeth and kept moving forward.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Cui Yunniang's coffin was finally safely transported to the open space next to the Xie family's ancestral tomb.

It is a piece of land halfway up the mountain, backed by green mountains, facing green water, surrounded by lush trees, and the environment is quiet and peaceful.

The descendants of the Xie family are all talented, so this place must be considered a Feng Shui treasure land!

The selected grave base has been dug in advance, and only the coffin is waiting to be buried.

Jiang Song checked the coffin and the grave base again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he signaled the servants to place the coffin in the grave base.

Afterwards, the Taoists began to perform the final rituals, praying for the rest of Cui Yunniang's soul.

The incense, candles and paper money were lit, turning into wisps of green smoke that rose up and filled the air, carrying the grief and prayers of the people, floating towards the distant sky.

Jiang Song stood in front of the grave, silently chanting the mantra of rebirth in his heart, hoping that Cui Yunniang could live peacefully in the other world.

After the ceremony, the servants began to fill the grave, shoveling soil into the base until the coffin was completely covered.

Finally, a magnificent tomb was built with fine stones. The tombstone was engraved with the words "Tomb of my late mother Cui Yunniang" in neat, solemn and dignified handwriting.

The servants placed the tributes neatly in front of the tomb, including various cakes, fruits and wines.

Light a fire, start a pot, boil water... cook pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock into delicious dishes, and distribute them to everyone present so that they can share this special "banquet".

The grave relocation ceremony was finally completed successfully!

Jiang Song bowed deeply three times toward the tombstone. "Rest in peace, mother. I will visit you often and talk to you."

Xie Changyu lit incense and placed it in front of the tombstone, looking solemn. "Aunt Cui, don't worry. We will take good care of your sister-in-law for you."

Xie Changyan stood silently by, looking at the tombstone with deep eyes, as if he was having a silent conversation with Cui Yunniang.

After the graves were moved, the sky gradually darkened and night fell quietly.

The Xie family and the Black Armor Guards went down the mountain together and returned to the city in a carriage.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Song sat quietly, looking out the window, his mind full of thoughts.

Everything went smoothly with the grave relocation today, and she felt extremely relieved.

After that, she had one less thing to worry about, and she could be considered to have done something for the original owner and repaid some of the favor.

"Are you okay?" Xie Changyan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, breaking the silence in the car.

Jiang Song came back to his senses and turned to look at him, "I'm fine, thank you."

Xie Changyan nodded slightly and said nothing more, but his eyes still lingered on her face, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Jiang Song felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him. He coughed lightly and changed the subject. "Thank you for what happened today."

"What are you thanking me for?" Xie Changyan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You're here to help me move the graves," Jiang Song said matter-of-factly. "I know you don't really like these complicated rituals, but you still came with me. I'm very grateful."

"Of course, you've also taught me various cultivation techniques, helped me with revenge, and saved me from danger many times... I remember all of this."

"Song'er, I never find your affairs tedious." Xie Changyan looked at her with gentle eyes.

A faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, which was very touching.

"If you really want to thank me, just call out 'Ayan' and let me hear it."

Jiang Song was stunned and pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.

Ask her to call him "Ayan"?

This is quite difficult.

It was during their seven days of dual cultivation, when they were feeling aroused and the atmosphere was charming, that she called him so affectionately.

She really couldn't bring herself to scream out loud in this carriage for no reason.

What's more, they parted on bad terms after having sex yesterday morning.

"Xie Changyan, I'm grateful to you, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to play this kind of ambiguous role with you."

Jiang Song met Xie Changyan's gaze with a serious and distant look.

"I admit that your profound cultivation and stunning appearance, as well as the cool and aloof aura you possess, are very attractive to me."

"Plus, you've always taken good care of me, so it's really hard for me not to have a good impression of you."

"We're getting married, and we've even done all the intimate things couples do. How can we not be considered a true couple?"

"Well, I thought so before."

"Just when I happily thought we could go on like this forever, you were always so distant and so close that I couldn't figure you out."

"Xie Changyan, I'm really tired. Can you please be kind and let me go?"

When Jiang Song finished speaking, her voice was choked with sobs. She quickly turned her head away so that Xie Changyan would not see the tears in her eyes.

"So, you turned around and went to look for Ximen Liu?"

The smile on Xie Changyan's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes were cold, filled with anger and unwillingness that was difficult to conceal.

Jiang Song turned his head in disbelief, full of shock and confusion: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"You stayed out all night with him, and even asked him to send the Black Armor Guards to help you move your grave. What do you want me to think?"

Xie Changyan's tone was filled with bitterness and jealousy that he himself was not aware of. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at Jiang Song with sharp eyes, waiting for her answer.

"What I just said to you was all nonsense?!" Jiang Song was so angry at Xie Changyan's words that she laughed. She rubbed her temples vigorously, "So I can only revolve around you, right?"

"What do you think?" Xie Changyan grabbed Jiang Song's wrist with such force that it almost crushed her bones.

He has actually been holding back this anger all the way!

From the moment he learned that Jiang Song was with Ximen Liu last night, he wanted to ask her why she was so close to another man?

But he had been holding it in until now, when he finally couldn't help but explode.

"You hurt me!" Jiang Song struggled hard, but Xie Changyan's hands held her tightly like an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free at all.

She looked up and saw a dangerous glint in Xie Changyan's eyes, like a wild beast about to lose control.

"Xie Changyan, let go!" Jiang Song felt angry.

Xie Changyan thrust out his other hand, grasped her chin, and forced her to look him in the eye. "Look at me and answer my question."

"Xie Changyan, why do you treat me like this? Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Song turned his head away and struggled to break free from his shackles, feeling a burning pain in his chin.

"You clearly know in your heart that there is nothing between Ximen Liu and me, yet you still act so unreasonably. It's totally unreasonable!"

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense. During the struggle, Jiang Song's spiritual energy leaked out, shaking the decorations in the carriage to all directions.

"boom!"

The entire carriage exploded instantly, fragments flew everywhere, and a cloud of dust was raised.

Jiang Song was picked up by Xie Changyan around the waist, avoiding the flying debris and landing steadily on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the black-armored guards immediately surrounded them, looking around vigilantly, searching for the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Xie Changyu also jumped out of another carriage. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing..."

Jiang Song struggled to jump out of Xie Changyan's arms, his face looking a little grim. "It's okay, the carriage is broken down, let's squeeze in with you."

Xie Changyan immediately cast a spell to erase all traces of the spiritual power fluctuations, making it impossible to trace anything.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the black-armored guards lined up again and headed towards the city.

Xie Changyu scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only ask the two to get on the carriage.

On the way back to the city, the carriage was silent.

Very good!

Finally, I don’t have to be alone with Xie Changyan!

Jiang Song breathed a sigh of relief.
