After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

After the couple completed their wedding ceremony, the bride was taken to the bridal chamber, while the groom entertained the guests in the front hall, creating a lively atmosphere.

Besides Jin Haoyu, Chi Yi, Hua Rongyi, Kong Bai, Ling Lili, Yun Fan, Bai Shu, and Lu Qiu also met Ji Yan's father, Ji Shanhai, up close.

Previously, I was far away and didn't pay much attention to Ji Shanhai; my focus was all on Ji Yan.

As they got closer, judging from his complexion, Bai Shu realized that Ji Shan Hai was seriously ill and would not live much longer.

Hua Rongyi also realized that Ji Shanhai's appearance suggested he was already dead.

Kong Bai's discerning eyes saw Ji Shan Hai's accumulated merits slowly dissipating.

Chi Yi and Ling Lili exchanged a glance; their sixth sense told them that something was strange about Ji Shanhai.

Yunfan blindly trusted Ling Lili in this matter.

Jin Haoyu and Lu Qiu were just following the crowd.

There's something strange about this Ji residence. Since we're here, we might as well take a look and see what secrets it holds.

While everyone's attention was focused on the front hall, Chi Yi and the others made their move.

Last time I came in a hurry and didn't have time to explore the entire mansion, so I certainly won't let this opportunity pass me by this time.

Meanwhile, the bride, Ji Yan, who should have been waiting in the bridal chamber, kept asking for this and that, and before she knew it, she had sent everyone away. Then, she sneaked out of the bridal chamber and, seeing that no one was outside, immediately headed in one direction.

Her goal was clear: she walked towards a storeroom in the backyard and grabbed an axe as she passed the kitchen.

The storeroom was locked, but without a word, she chopped the lock with an axe, slipped inside, and came out a quarter of an hour later. Her wide left sleeve bulged, indicating that something was hidden inside.

She quietly returned to the new house, as if she had never left.

Everything proceeded smoothly and without the slightest panic, as if she had done it countless times before.

If Ji Yan knew that everything she had just done had been seen by Chi Yi on the roof, I wonder what she would think.

Chi Yi was filled with questions: Why would someone steal things from their own home?

Could it be like in those melodramatic novels where the daughter isn't her biological child but is actually her enemy's? She steals an important keepsake to ruin the Ji family that raised her, only to later discover she'd been deceived by the Ji family's rival. Filled with regret, she also falls in love with her true enemy. After overcoming numerous hardships, she actually ends up with the rival's son?

Thinking of this, Chi Yi shuddered. She couldn't think about it, she couldn't think about it, it was too melodramatic, she couldn't bear it.

Taking advantage of the last few guests leaving, Chi Yi and her companions finally finished thoroughly exploring the entire Ji residence. They returned to the front hall, offered their blessings to the guests, and then took their leave.

Inside the dilapidated house.

"So, the most suspicious people right now are Ji Shanhai and his daughter Ji Yan?" Jin Haoyu said.

“Yes, none of us have found anything special. Ji Shanhai has accumulated merit, yet he is not only seriously ill, but also looks like a dead person. Something must have happened to cause this,” Hua Rongyi concluded.

“Then let’s visit Ji Hai tomorrow and see if we can make any further discoveries,” Chi Yi said.

Hua Rongyi nodded, and the others nodded in agreement as well.

The next morning, Chi Yi and her group arrived at the Ji residence, claiming they were there to make a family reunion. They said they were distant relatives of the Ji family and had come to freeload.

After all, who can say for sure that they don't have distant relatives? If you don't see each other often, you won't know each other.

The person who met them this time was neither surprising nor unexpected; it was still Ji Yan.

The moment Ji Yan saw them, she exclaimed in surprise, "So it's you!"
