The prince is very cruel

As soon as they tried it, everyone was shocked!

The insects they had always disliked turned out to be so delicious, and they were not centipedes at all. How could a centipede have such plump meat!

In just a few days, it became an instant hit, at least in Xingyang!

The business of the Huangye Chamber of Commerce grew at a terrifying rate, and the news that river shrimps were edible began to spread on a large scale.

As soon as the money came back, Roland immediately invested again and continued to open new restaurants in other cities or post stations. He was very decisive and almost wanted to make it the largest chain in Central Plains.

Since then, the river shrimp business has achieved three goals at once: the Chamber of Commerce makes money, Bashan exchanges it for the supplies it wants, and the people no longer have to worry about not being able to eat meat.

During this period, everything was back on track, as if all the haze had passed and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Guan Ning was like a god who suddenly descended and brought earth-shaking changes to Bashan. In a short period of time, he won the respect of the people in Bashan and Shu.

Everyone who sees him will call him "Master Ning" with gratitude.

Guan Ning thought everything had calmed down.

But on the third day of February, suddenly, bad news came that the old valley master had passed away!

When Guan Ning arrived, the female disciples of Jueqing Valley were dressed in mourning and crying.

Guan Ning stood there in a daze, his ears buzzing.

"Mr. Ning, you are here."

"Wasn't the old Valley Master in good condition? Why did it happen so suddenly?" Guan Ning found it hard to accept.

The old valley master's disciple choked up and said, "Mr. Ning, you don't know that since the death of our ancestor in Bashan, our master has been unwilling to rely on elixirs to prolong her life. She also told us not to tell you."

"When she passed away, she was very quiet and peaceful. She also said that she had no worries in this life and if there was an afterlife, she hoped to turn into a flying butterfly and land on the Bashan Mountains again."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue both got goose bumps all over their skin and felt inexplicably sad.

Perhaps the old valley master had already gone with the ancestor from the moment he died. Having lived for over eighty years, she no longer had any attachments.

"Mr. Ning, this is what Master asked me to give to you."

"She knew you were coming, and she asked you to do her one last favor." A female disciple burst into tears.

Guan Ning took the envelope with a heavy heart.

When he opened it, he found it was the only suicide note left by the old valley master.

"What did the old Valley Master say?" Lou Xinyue asked softly.

"She wants to be buried together with her ancestor. Even though they cannot share each other's joys and sorrows in life, they wish to fly together after death." Guan Ning said hoarsely.

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue was shocked.

Everyone present was shocked by the old valley master's last wish.

The female disciples cried even harder.

Guan Ning held the letter in her hand, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. Perhaps in the heart of the old valley master, she had never truly hated her ancestor.

Lou Xinyue frowned and worried: "Will those elders in Bashan agree?"

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "Even if they disagree, we have to make them agree!"

"The old ancestor and the old valley master suffered too much. If they can't be buried together after death, I don't agree!"

Lou Xinyue nodded.

Guan Ning then took over the funeral arrangements for the old valley master. He first went to Bashan and found Nie Nan to explain the matter. Nie Nan was also saddened when he heard the news of the death, and then decisively agreed to bury the two old men together.

However, this matter was opposed by some elders in Bashan. Out of consideration for Guan Ning's face, they only agreed to let the old valley master be buried in Bashan, but did not agree to a joint burial.

Their ideas are very old-fashioned and feudal. Joint burial is absolutely unacceptable and women are not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb.

Nie Nan was angry, but Guan Ning did not let him be the bad guy. Instead, he took the initiative to express his position that if they did not agree to the joint burial, then the aid to Bashan would be cancelled.

He had a rare dark face and was determined to fulfill the old valley master's last wish. It was even the last wish of his ancestor. If he knew in the afterlife that he could not sleep with his lover in life but could be buried with her after death, he would probably cry with joy.

In the end, with his intervention, the elders of Bashan had no choice but to agree.

On the seventh day, the coffin arrived.

Nie Nan took charge and buried her with honor as the old ancestor's wife, and all the nine clans of Bashan came to see her off.
