Cang Yao took over all of Zhang Xinya's affairs.
However, when she met my master in the courtyard, Cang Yao put forward her own conditions.
She could solve the problem.
She even said that she was 100% sure that she could keep Zhang Xinya.
But she also had her own requirements. She had the final say on what conditions to agree to, and the final result would definitely not be as ideal as we imagined.
At this point, we have already used all the methods we should use. We are really helpless. There is no other way except to agree. We can't just watch Wan Niang continue to make trouble. The other party is now in complete control of the body, and Zhang Xinya is still being held down by her. We can't afford to delay. Otherwise, if we delay for a few more days, who knows if Zhang Xinya is still alive. We don't know how ruthless she is on the road to the underworld, but in this life, she is just an ordinary person. The soul of a living person cannot be compared with a ghost. If it is possessed by another body, it will become a rootless duckweed, a candle in the wind, and it will go out at any time.
I don't know where Cang Yao got his confidence from. He seems to have a sure win in solving this matter. Seeing that we agreed, he turned his head and went into the west room.
Brother Yaozi was worried and wanted to follow him in. But just as he stepped onto the steps, Cang Yao closed the door. With a "bang", he almost slapped Brother Yaozi's face. He also said in the room that if he didn't want to get into trouble, he'd better not follow him in.
There was nothing we could do, so we could only squat at the door and wait.
At the beginning, Wan Niang in the room was still roaring and screaming, saying that she wanted to fight to the death. It seemed that she was resisting very fiercely, which made me feel a little uneasy. Now Cang Yao really couldn't stand the test. If she tried, she would be finished.
Who knew that the quarrel lasted only ten minutes, and the room suddenly became quiet. Lao Bai listened to the wall for a long time and said that he didn't know what the two were doing. It seemed that they were whispering, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.
My master said that Wan Niang had done something to deliberately prevent people from listening. If they forced it, they would be discovered immediately. Lao Bai then stopped.
What was even more bizarre was that after waiting for a while, laughter was heard in the room. It was from Wan Niang'er, and it was definitely not a sneer. She seemed to be in a good mood and extremely happy.
"Oh my god, what kind of magic did she use?!"
Old Bai bared his teeth and said, "It's been a whole night, and that master has not been quiet. She is so bitter and resentful, and wants to die and live. How come she laughed again in the blink of an eye?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Brother Yaozi looked worried and said softly, "The two of them..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but we all understood.
Regardless of whether it was Cang Yao or Wan Niang'er, they were not friendly masters to us. The two of them got together and laughed like this at this time, which made people wonder. Who knows what they are planning, is it about resolving past grievances, or about how to endure hardships?
Judging from the hostility and hatred of Wan Niang, I'm afraid the latter is more likely. If you think about it carefully, only collusion to cheat us can make her so happy.
"No matter what, let's protect Xinya first."
My master sighed and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. For now, Xinya's safety is the first priority, even if it means drinking poison to quench thirst!"
I nodded, thinking that if this is really poison, then we can only accept it with a pinch of nose.
The two of them whispered in the house until the sky in the east was white, because the yang energy in the house began to rise sharply, so they had to separate.
The moment the door opened, only Cang Yao came out.
She is very weak now. If the yang energy is a little heavier, she will obviously be unable to bear it. Her face is not very good, and she said she wants to go back to Fengling to rest.
As for Wan Niang'er, the other party has agreed to let Zhang Xinya go, but it is unlikely to let her leave. The final result of the discussion is that the two of them share a body, just like in the tomb, which is her bottom line.
This result made my master frown, but at this point, this is probably the best result.
After a night of tossing and turning, we were all exhausted. We simply treated our wounds and then parted ways and went back to our rooms to rest.
Only my master stood in front of the door of my ancestral hall, frowning and silent, still thinking about the layout of this house.
He said that my ancestral hall is not that simple, and may contain some clues about my father's disappearance.
It's not that we haven't been there before, but unfortunately we didn't find anything. I don't know why my master made such a judgment.
In the end, he still walked in and said that some things needed to be confirmed.
I wanted to follow him, after all, it was about my parents, and I didn't want to miss any discovery. Unfortunately, my master refused. He said that it was just a guess at the moment, and he needed to calm down and think carefully. I would disturb his train of thought. He asked me to go to sleep peacefully. As long as there was a little clue, he would definitely notify me.
In this way, I was chased back to the room. I was obviously very sleepy, but I lay on the kang with my eyes wide open, and I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was full of my father and mother, and some things in the past. I was thinking about it all the time, and I didn't fall asleep until the sky was completely bright.
I didn't sleep well this time, and I had nightmares one after another. I even dreamed of my grandfather who I had never seen before. The other party rolled his bloodshot eyes and poked me with his thumb from a distance, saying that I was a troublemaker and that all the problems were caused by me.
Just when I was trapped in the dream and couldn't get out, a rapid knock on the door woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I found that my face was wet. I cried in my dream and my pillow was wet.
I looked out the window and saw that the sun was hanging in the west, which meant it was already mid-afternoon.
I rubbed my aching head, took off my shoes, and went down to open the door.
Outside the door, it was Lao An and Xiao Liu who I had just met not long ago. They were wearing neat uniforms, but their faces were full of fatigue, obviously they had been working for a long time.
I moved my nose and smelled a faint stench of corpses on them. They should have come into contact with corpses not long ago.
The arrival of the two alarmed everyone in the yard. Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi came one after another, followed by Zhang Xinya who was very listless. Even my master came out of the ancestral temple.
"Is there any news about my dad?"
As soon as I saw the two of them, I knew that they would come to see me for no reason.
"Hmm..."
Lao An pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Let me show you something first!"
As he spoke, he took out a sealed bag from his bag and handed it to me.
In the bag was a black feather with a little blood on it. The feather was hard and long, like a steel thorn.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
Xiao Liu said, "We have done tests and identifications. This feather is not from any known bird. Think about it carefully and see if you have any impression!"
Why do I need to identify this?
I just held the sealed bag and knew that this was the feather from Yu Min!
Could it be... Xing Wei appeared again?
However, even if I tell this kind of thing, no one will believe it, and it will cause trouble. I denied it without thinking: "You said it's not from any known bird, how can I know it!"
Xiao Liu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lao An. After a little hesitation, Lao An said: "We may have found your parents."
Possible?
I keenly grasped the problem in his words and immediately asked: "Where are they? Why is it possible?"
Lao An sighed and said nothing.
This attitude made me more and more uneasy, and I said anxiously: "Tell me, what is the situation?"
"You should come with us."
Xiao Liu also looked embarrassed, and even patted my shoulder: "We also need your help in this matter. How to say it, DNA verification shows that it is them, but... it is difficult to make a conclusion for the time being."
There was a sense of comfort in his words. From the look of it, it was clear that he was afraid that I could not bear the truth.
I am not a fool. I immediately had a bad guess. I encouraged myself all night last night and told myself to be brave and strong, but when the time came, tears came immediately and I couldn't control it at all.
"Little Wei, don't worry!"
Lao Bai comforted him: "Didn't the police comrade say that it is not confirmed yet. What if it is not?"
However, the DNA has been confirmed. What if it is true? It is one in tens of millions!
"That's the situation. I understand your feelings, but the most important thing at the moment is to make a confirmation first."
Lao An sighed, and a trace of reluctance flashed across the face of this serious old policeman: "Child, since the incident has already happened, the most important thing is to sort out the situation. Let's wait for you outside for a while. You adjust your mood and go with us!"
After that, the two turned around and wanted to leave.
"No need to adjust, I can still hold on, let's go now."
I wiped my tears fiercely and immediately chased after him. I had only one thought in my mind, even if it was only one in ten million, I had to see it with my own eyes before I would be satisfied!
My master said that my father was just unlucky at most, and he didn't die young. How could he just die?
Anyway, I don't believe it!!
Maybe it was this last bit of obsession that supported me. Silently, even my steps became much stronger...
