On the Double Ninth Festival, a group of palace officials led the way, guarding two luxurious carriages as they drove towards the Ye Family Mausoleum on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital of Xiyan Kingdom.
Because Ye Heting ascended the throne not long ago and the new imperial mausoleum was still under construction, Ye Jiuyou's grandmother and mother were still lying in the original tomb.
The carriage in front was luxurious and spacious. Ye Heting was dressed in a black robe, and his whole body lacked the aura of an emperor. He was visiting his wife and mother, and did not want to appear superior, so he did not wear a bright yellow dragon robe.
Ye Jiuyou was also wearing a plain white dress today, while Di Yin was dressed in black.
Ye Cangfeng was even more concise, wearing gray and white linen clothes that looked like ordinary people's clothes.
The Ye family mausoleum occupies a large area. The ancestors of the Ye family have been here for generations, and so are their descendants.
However, because the Ye family's ancestors have been military generals guarding the border for generations, even those descendants from the collateral lineage, over time, fewer and fewer people can survive on the battlefield.
Until the end, only Ye Cangfeng's direct lineage remained.
Ye Jiuyou stood in front of the mausoleum, looking at all the cold tombstones.
The Ye family has been a hero protecting the home and country for generations!
Ye Cangfeng took the lead in lighting incense in front of the mausoleum, and then said, "Youyou, come into the mausoleum and offer incense to your mother in person."
The tombstones on the surface are for worship, but the real coffins are placed in the underground tomb.
Going down the stone steps, I saw a door with a restriction on it.
Ye Cangfeng used his spiritual power to unlock the restriction, and the door slowly rose upwards.
The door opened, and the air-conditioning inside spread out, mixed with the faint smell of incense.
After going to pay homage to his grandmother first, Ye Cangfeng said to Ye Jiuyou: "You and your father go to see your mother, and I will talk to your grandmother."
Ye Jiuyou nodded and followed Ye Heting towards another tomb.
In the tomb, there is an incense burner in front of the coffin. The incense ashes inside seem to be from a long time ago.
Ye Heting whispered: "I haven't seen your mother for a long time."
With a sad look on his face, he lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner.
Since the death of his wife, he has given himself over to the battlefield, killing enemies on the battlefield day and night, trying to forget the pain of losing his wife.
Therefore, every year on the anniversary of his death, he would only take a look at the tombstone above and would not dare to look in the underground tomb.
Ye Jiuyou inserted three sticks of incense and knelt down in front of the coffin, "My son, pay homage to your mother. I hope you have a spirit in heaven to bless Ye's family in safety and success. I also hope you can live happily in heaven."
Her prayer was true, her mother was indeed in the divine realm in heaven.
Ye Heting walked to the coffin and gently touched the coffin with his fingers.
Suddenly, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? How come your mother's coffin was opened?"
Ye Jiuyou quickly stood up and said, "Father must have seen it wrong."
"It's impossible to mistake it. There is a missing nail here. I drove it in with my own hands."
He frowned, quickly walked around the coffin, and said in a cold voice: "How could this happen? All the nails on the coffin are missing!"
He raised his hand to push open the lid of the wooden coffin. Ye Jiuyou quickly pressed the lid, "Father! Don't disturb mother's purity!"
The coffin is most likely empty.
The mother was not dead at all, so how could she be in there?
Ye Heting's eyes were a little red, "Youyou, get out of the way."
Ye Jiuyou looked at him with such stubborn eyes and slowly took a step back.
Even if she could stop him for a moment, she couldn't stop her father for the rest of his life.
Let's tell him some truth.
When the coffin lid was opened, there was no smell of decay, and there was even a faint aroma of wood.
Ye Heting looked down and saw that it was empty inside. How could there be any bones?
"Yao Guang!" He shouted in a deep voice with pain.
Ye Cangfeng, who was next door, rushed over after hearing this, and saw Ye Heting lying in front of the open coffin with a sad expression.
"You kid! Why did you open the lid of Yao Guang's coffin! Why don't you close it quickly!"
Ye Cangfeng rushed over quickly, and when he was about to push the lid of the coffin up, he saw that it was empty except for a soft pillow inside.
"What's going on? Where is Yao Guang?" Ye Cangfeng's eyes widened in anger, "Who the hell dares to steal my daughter-in-law's bones!?"
Ye Jiuyou looked at both of them with their eyes red with anger, and said loudly: "Actually, mother is not dead!"
Hearing this, Ye Heting immediately looked up at her, "Youyou, how did you know?"
"My mother left me something."
"Did your mother leave you something? Why didn't I know?" Ye Heting had never heard of his wife leaving something behind.
"She was placed in Yanhuo Academy and was given to me by Dugu Sheng. Unfortunately, Dugu Sheng just wanted to use me to open my mother's relics..."
Ye Jiuyou took off the flower jade pendant from his neck, handed it to Ye Heting, and then repeated what Dugu Sheng had said.
"Father, my mother traveled around the world for so many years and finally chose to be with you. She really loves you! She actually had her reasons for leaving us. She didn't want to bring trouble to the Ye family, so she faked her death and left."
Ye Heting held the flower jade pendant, his scarlet eyes gradually moistened, and tears slid down his face, "Youyou, your mother must have encountered some trouble. She must be having a very bad life now, otherwise it would be impossible. No news was passed to us either.”
"That's what I guessed, so I have to work hard to practice and go to the God Realm, and I have to ask my mother face to face what the reasons are that made her abandon me."
Ye Jiuyou concealed Qiandai Yaoguang's words about not letting her continue to practice, otherwise she was worried that Ye Cangfeng and Ye Heting would really not let her practice.
In this world where the strong are respected, doing nothing will not lead to peace and smoothness. Instead, you will become the target of bullying.
Not only does she want to practice on her own, but she also wants to make her grandfather and father stronger too!
Only by becoming stronger can we compete with those who make things difficult for our mother!
Ye Heting clenched the jade pendant tightly and looked at Ye Jiuyou with firm eyes, "Youyou, you must work hard to practice. Your grandfather and I are stupid in nature, and the day we become gods will be slow."
"You are the only one with excellent talent, and becoming a god is just around the corner! Your mother must be waiting for you in the God Realm, and you must find her!"
"Father, I will work hard to practice!" Ye Jiuyou nodded.
Ye Heting walked up to her, hung the jade pendant around her neck again, patted her shoulder and said, "As long as your mother is still alive, I will practice diligently as a father and strive to live longer so that I can see you again." Your mother’s side.”
"You all must practice hard. Old man, I can't be left behind. I will also practice hard with Honghong!" Ye Cangfeng patted Ye Heting's shoulder, "Good boy, now that I know Yao Guang is still alive, don't feel bad. Let’s go back.”
