Due to it being summer, these days had been filled with bright sunshine, enveloping the entire Yang family villa.
But today was different.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, giving the impression that it’s about to rain.
As if the whole world had darkened, breeding numerous dangers and uncertainties, even the fog outside the villa seemed a bit restless.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the Yang family villa was very oppressive, like the calm before a storm.
The graveyard on the hill, previously off-limits, was finally open today, and everyone could go to bid farewell to the young master for the last time.
The funeral was scheduled for noon.
Even Ruan Qing had been awakened, but due to lying down for these days, he felt somewhat weak.
So, when Ruan Qing was awakened, he was still a bit confused, lying in bed with open eyes, looking like he’s unaware of the current time.
A look as if unaware of the passage of time and the present moment.
The steward didn’t rush Ruan Qing; after all, it’s still two hours before noon.
Shen Baiyue stood next to the steward. Seeing no movement from the person on the bed for a long time, she nervously spoke, holding a doll in her arms, “Brother Yu Qing, are you okay?”
Only then did Ruan Qing react, turning his head to look at Shen Baiyue. His eyes slowly focused.
He opened his mouth to speak, but due to not speaking for a long time, coupled with overall weakness, no words came out.
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Baiyue felt somewhat relieved and quietly explained the recent events to Ruan Qing.
He also informed Ruan Qing about what day it was today.
It’s Yang Chenfeng’s funeral, and the original owner would definitely attend.
After lying down for a while and recovering some strength, Ruan Qing got out of bed.
After washing up, he changed into black clothes and wore a white flower on his left chest.
Shen Baiyue looked at Ruan Qing in a black shirt, stunned.
Black suited this person exceptionally well.
Ordinary people in black clothes might appear somewhat dark, but black on Ruan Qing made him look fair as jade.
Moreover, the black color dissipated some of the usual untouchable coldness and fragility, adding a mysterious aura, making him appear noble and elegant.
As beautiful as a god high above, captivating hearts with their breathtaking beauty.
It’s also like a fantasy in the mortal world.
Shen Baiyue uncomfortably lowered her gaze, concealing the expression in her eyes.
After Ruan Qing changed his clothes, the steward led the two to prepare to go to the cemetery in the back mountains.
But as soon as they left the room, they encountered Shen Jinzhao, who had just opened his door, in the corridor.
Ruan Qing’s gaze paused for a moment.
Shen Jinzhao was indeed a strange person. He participated in this extremely dangerous funeral, but always remained indifferent.
As if all the danger surrounding the Yang family had nothing to do with him, and he’s just a bystander.
Even when the tentacles hit the glass window, he could stay calmly in his room.
When Ruan Qing passed by his room through the ventilation duct, she found him still inside.
There was no trace of nervousness on his face, and one could even say he looked relaxed.
Even when the villa shook from the impact, he showed no reaction.
He was indeed an extremely peculiar person.
However, as long as he didn’t hinder him, Ruan Qing didn’t care about his motives.
So, after a few glances, Ruan Qing withdrew his gaze.
Upon seeing Shen Jinzhao, Shen Baiyue lowered her head in fear and even hugged the doll in her hands anxiously.
But as the two passed by Shen Jinzhao, he stopped them.
To be precise, he stopped Shen Baiyue.
Shen Jinzhao, hands in his pockets, looked at Shen Baiyue lazily and said, “Are you sure you want to betray?”
“If you’re caught, you’ll die, you know.”
Ruan Qing glanced at Shen Baiyue beside him.
Shen Baiyue kept her head down the entire time, and her expression couldn’t be seen clearly.
It was as if she hadn’t heard Shen Jinzhao’s words at all.
But she definitely heard them.
Shen Jinzhao didn’t care whether Shen Bai Yue had heard him or not. After finishing his words, he turned towards Ruan Qing and revealed a faint smile. “I apologize for my previous misunderstanding.”
“Sorry.”
After saying this, Shen Jinzhao left.
Meanwhile, Ruan Qing and Shen Bai Yue followed the steward to the cemetery behind the mountain.
The cemetery had a lot of tombstones.
Set against the gloomy sky, it appeared especially dark and oppressive.
Guests didn’t want to come to this side of the mountain, but today, for some reason, the fog outside the villa had been spreading, even surpassing the walls of the Yang family villa.
Giving a sense of extreme danger.
Only the cemetery behind the mountain seemed relatively safer.
So, most of the guests chose to come to this side, with only a few insisting on staying inside the Yang family villa.
After arriving at the cemetery, Ruan Qing looked around, and most people there had a fearful and scared expression.
He quickly found the reason, as the names written on the tombstones were those of the existing Yang family members.
Even the names of Yang Wenmin, Yang Chenjin, and Yang Chenyan could be found on the tombstones.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to walk over to see more clearly, Yang Chenjin walked over from the crowd and blocked Ruan Qing’s line of sight.
Yang Chenjin smiled gently at Ruan Qing, “Sister-in-law, over here.”
Seeing this, Ruan Qing had no choice but to follow Yang Chenjin to the front.
The funeral was still conducted in an orderly manner. Yang Chenfeng’s coffin was placed in front, as if it would be buried soon.
At this moment, the funeral had not yet begun.
Because the location behind the mountain was higher than the position of the Yang family villa, from this side, one could see that the fog had already spread into the range of the Yang family villa.
However, it was still at the edge at this point.
But those who remained in the Yang family villa had started to feel afraid, even crazily fleeing, trying to avoid the gradually spreading fog.
In the end, most people chose to come to this side of the mountain.
Twelve o’clock quickly arrived.
A burst of blood-red light rose from the earth, and a massive array slowly emerged from underground.
The ominous blood-red color gave a foreboding sense, causing an unsettling feeling to well up from the depths of one’s heart.
The array emerged slowly, and the patterns on it remained in a static state.
Upon closer inspection, the array revealed itself to be a centrally symmetrical pattern.
Ruan Qing looked and noticed that the center of the array was exactly where Yang Chenfeng’s coffin was located.
As if it was truly about to resurrect Yang Chenfeng.
Perhaps they were afraid he wouldn’t cooperate.
Yang Chenjin glanced at Ruan Qing, “Are you afraid?”
Before Ruan Qing could respond, he gently smiled, soothingly stroked Ruan Qing’s hair by his ear, and said, “Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.”
Having said that, Yang Chenjin gently pushed Ruan Qing directly into the center of the array.
Simultaneously, Shen Baiyue was also pushed over.
Shen Baiyue didn’t resist, only trembling as if she had long known her own fate.
Yang Wenmin and Yang Chenyan, standing on the side, watched expressionlessly, saying nothing.
As the two were pushed to the center of the array, the array began to subtly shift.
Due to it being summer, these days had been filled with bright sunshine, enveloping the entire Yang family villa.
