Great Immortal Li was a cunning old fox. With his vast experience, he could deal with Tang Ran as he wished.

After speaking so indifferently, Tang Ran, who was at the side, immediately blushed and his neck became thick.

It was obvious that Great Immortal Li was right.

Tang Ran knew that he was in the wrong and stammered, "What else is there to say? That ghost girl wanted to harm me just now. Is there anything wrong with me helping her?"

"No, no, I didn't say that you're in the wrong. It's true that we should stop the female ghost from harming us, but after that, you should have a chance to ask what's going on. Why is she so resentful? Why does she want to stay in the mortal realm?" Great Immortal Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

When he said this, Tang Ran became speechless once again.

After a moment, he slightly narrowed his eyes and said while looking at Old Man Li, "If that's the case, then it's the fault of the younger generation. May I ask if Mister Li has already grasped the grievances of the female ghost?"

Great Deity Li seemed to be waiting for Tang Ran to say these words. Thus, when he finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he smiled and said, "That's right, I was fortunate enough to hear about the ghost lady's story and was extremely sympathetic. That's why I didn't make my move. I wonder if the two of you would be willing to listen?"

I know very little about my mother's death.

Every time I tried to find out what had happened to my mother when she died, my father and my grandmother and my uncle had kept it a secret and had never told me the truth.

Now that Great Immortal Li said this, it piqued my interest. I couldn't help but squint my eyes as I looked at Great Immortal Li, waiting for his explanation.

Since Tang Ran wasn't going to force his way through now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue listening in.

Great deity Li looked at me with a weird expression. Then, he pointed to my mother and said, "Little boy, it's your father. He did something that let your mother down. You need to know this. If it wasn't for him, your mother wouldn't have died."

I started.

I don't seem to understand what Great Immortal Li is saying.

Did my father do something wrong to my mother? Could it be that the old man was telling me that my mother's death had something to do with my father?

I had long thought that my father's actions had always been extremely strange. Everything he did was concealed from me, and every time I went to inquire, he would tell me that he didn't want me to ask too many questions. It was all for my own good.

Now I finally understand, things are definitely not that simple.

In this way, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and say to Great Immortal Li, "I'll have to trouble you to speak clearly. Your vague words will easily cause people to misunderstand."

"Heh heh, since you want to hear it, I'm willing to tell you. Your father and Old Wangyou have teamed up and ended up harming your mother for the rest of her life."

When Old Wang said this, I vaguely felt that it was a bit strange. He said every word very seriously, and I also listened very seriously. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to be lying.

Hearing this, my body inexplicably trembled.

He immediately asked, "What did the two of them do to my mother?"

This old man seems to be intentionally hiding something. I can't tell what happened from his mouth.

Facing my question, Great Immortal Li only coldly said, "Your father has done something that is worse than an animal. As for what it is, I think he knows it better than me. Moreover, from his mouth, it's probably easier for you to believe."

With that, Great Immortal Li left Old Wang's home with his mother's soul.

And now, all that's left is me and Tang Ran by my side.

The news I had just heard was undoubtedly a great shock to me.

I thought that things had been resolved and that nothing strange would happen in the village.

But with Old Wang's death and what Great Immortal Li said just now, I seem to feel that this matter wasn't over. Moreover, this seemed to be just the beginning.

Great Immortal Li took away Mother, and when I wanted to ask about them, I could no longer see them.

I immediately asked Tang Ran, "Do you think what he said is true?"

Tang Ran shook his head. "I'm not sure either. Since Great Immortal Li insisted that it was your father that harmed your mother, we need to face him face to face. We can't believe one side of what Great Immortal Li says, can we?"

What he said reminded me, and I immediately nodded. "That's right, but now that we lost father, no one knows where he went."

Tang Ran didn't mind my worry so he shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The village is only this big. Let's just look around."

In view of our suspicions that Father might have gone to Old Wang's grave, we decided to confront Father in person, and went straight to Old Wang's grave, where we planned to ask Father what was going on.

But when we got to the grave of the old man's head, there was no sign of my father.

Furthermore, this place was the same as it had been when Old Wang buried his head during the day. The tomb had not been destroyed, and there were traces of people who had never come here before. That was to say, his father had never been to Old Wang's grave.

But when we went out, we followed Father, and then saw him go to Old Wang's house, but Old Wang's house doesn't have a father, and neither does it have a father now. In that case, where else could he have gone?

He saw me frozen in place.

Tang Ran sighed and said, "Since this matter has already happened, we shouldn't rush it. How about this? Let's go back and rest first. We'll find out when your father comes back tomorrow."

What Tang Ran said made sense. Right now, we don't know where our father went, so at this moment, we can only go back and wait for news.

What I didn't expect was that when we got home and I walked into the courtyard, I found my father's room. The light was on, and beside the desk by the window, there was a person sitting there. This person, through the window, I saw that black figure.

I rushed into my father's room.

He was reading a crumpled book.

He didn't seem surprised that I would suddenly rush in, as if he had already thought of it.

Seeing him like this, I felt that there was something wrong with him. I immediately said, "I saw mother today at Old Wang's house."

Hearing that, my father didn't even look at me. He continued to stare fixedly at the book in his hands before nodding his head and replying with a soft 'En'.

This action of his was indescribably strange.

My mother was dead, and I couldn't possibly have seen her. Even if I had, I could have seen my mother's ghost.

As a father, what could it mean for him to act so blandly towards his daughter when she was in trouble?

"What did my mother die of? What did you do to her? " I rushed over and grabbed his arm.

As I grabbed his arm, I had the faint feeling that his arm was trembling.

He gritted his teeth. Looking at him, he didn't want to tell me the truth.

I chuckled coldly, my entire body was like a balloon that had been released, I didn't have the slightest bit of strength.

I looked at my father in disappointment. "I already know. It was you and Old Wang who caused mother's death, wasn't it? "Do you admit it?"

My voice instantly increases several fold as I hysterically shouted at him.

After saying that, my entire body collapsed. I squatted on the floor as cold sweat dripped down my forehead. My body was also trembling uncontrollably.

Finally, the book in his father's hands slipped and fell onto the table.

He grabbed his hair and said painfully, "I'm not human, I did something that let your mother down …"

This is great, my father's attitude has been completely ruined by me.

At this moment, no matter what I said, he would repeat it over and over again.

In this way, my next question was completely ignored by him.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? What did you do to him? Why did you do it? Why?" I kept asking.

However, facing my questions, my father didn't have any intention of answering. He kept repeating the same words, tears and snot flowing down his face. He looked extremely comical. This was my father who kept saying that he was good for me.

Was it for my own good that he had killed my mother with the others?

It's hard to imagine, how could I have been born in such a family, how could I have encountered such a thing?

Seeing that we couldn't get the truth out of him, Tang Ran helped me up from the ground and dragged me out like a dead dog.

Sitting in the courtyard, I was much more clear-headed with the cold wind blowing on my face, but my heart still felt like it had been stabbed with a knife. At this moment, I only had one feeling, and that was pain that made me wish I were dead.

Under these circumstances, Donan clumsily comforted me, "Alright, since it has already happened, what's the use of thinking about it? Let's go back to sleep."

His words were light and nimble, but how could I still sleep after what happened to me?

So I shook my head and said, "You should go rest. I want to be alone here."

Although his father had admitted that he had done something untoward for his mother, he was unclear about the reason why his father had done so. He did not say anything, but only vaguely admitted to his wrongdoings.
