The old Manâs mouth flattened, like he was going to cry.
âYou silly childâŠâ Old Lady Yin hurried over to gently pat Yin Jinyeâs arm, âDidnât you see that your grandfather even couldnât tell who is whom? Canât you make a lie to coax him?â
If he had obeyed his grandfatherâs wish, next, his grandfather would cry to get married, should he still agree?
Old Lord Yin shoved Old Lady Yin aside. âDonât beat my dad!â
Old Lady Yin said helplessly, âAll right, all right, all right. I wonât beat him. I wonât beat him. Letâs go inside.â
Old Lady Min said to her daughter with tears in her eyes, âI planned to come tomorrow, but he was getting weaker and weaker. I was afraid that he would suddenly go away, so I came here in a hurry. Before that, he had been murmuring your name and was worried that he would not be able to take care of you after he died, so he is quite anxious to visit youâŠâ
Then she took a breath and continued, âYour big brothers and others will be here in a few days. They want to spend more time with your dadâ
Old Lady Yin nodded, âI will arrange it.â
As the old lord entered into the mansion, he looked here and there like a child. âDan, what is this place?â
Old Lady Min following behind said, âThis is the mansion of the chief of Guiling town, also where you daughter and grandsons live.â
The old lord sulked, face sunk, âNonsense! I donât have a daughter and grandson, DanâŠâ
He hurriedly explained to Rong Yi, âDan, donât listen to her bullshit. I donât have any daughter, let alone grandsons. You should know that I have only you in my heart all the time.â
Rong Yi couldnât help looking toward Old Lady Min.
Old Lady Min, âPlease act as me temporarily.â
Rong Yi nodded and said to the old man, âLetâs go in and talk.â
After they entered the hall, Old Lady Yin felt the pulse for his father. She felt that the insides of his body were weakening and his spiritual strength was fading little by little.
She hurried to feed him an elixir, but it didnât work at all.
Old Lady Min shook her head, âItâs useless.â
âEven if it doesnât work, I canât watch my dad get worse every day.â At the thought that her father was dying, Old Lady Yin could barely breathe.
Rong Yi proposed, âMom, let Yin Yan check my grandfather.â
Old Lady Yin nodded with red eyes, âYeâer, you go get Yin Yan.â
Yin Jinye then summoned Yin Yan through sound transmission.
Yin Yan who was in the backyard quickly came to the hall and felt the pulse for the old lord.
The old lord looked at everyone in the room and asked, âWho are you people?â
Rong Yi picked his eyebrow, âIs he keeping losing his memories?â
The old man asked Old Lady Min, âWho are they, Dan?â
Old lady Yin hurriedly said, âDad, have you regained your memories? Do you remember who I am?â
The old man looked puzzled. âWho are you?â
Rong Yi asked, âDo you know who I am?â
The old man looked at him curiously, âYing, why have you grown so big all of a sudden?â
Rong Yi asked, âWho is Ying?â
Old Lady Yin sighed, âMy eldest brother.â
Yin Jinye then said faintly, âAnyhow, better than calling you wife.â
Rong Yi grinned, âAre you jealous?â
Old Lady Min asked, âYuan, you havenât introduced meâŠâ
âMother, he is Xiaoyi that I mentioned to you before.â
Rong Yi immediately made a salute to her, âMy greetings, grandma.â
Old Lady Min took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears, while saying with a hoarse voice, âXiaoyi, Iâm really sorry. I came in a hurry, so I didnât bring you any present.â
âGrandma, donât say that, oh right, Yin Yan, how is it? Is there any way to prolong my grandfatherâs life?âRong Yi asked, quickly changing the subject.
Yin Yan slightly frowned, âThe old lord now canât absorb any spiritual force to elixirs. We can do nothing, unlessâŠâ
âUnless what?â Old Lady Yin asked hastily.
âUnless we make him a ghoul before he dies, perhapsâŠâ
Old Lady Yin immediately objected, âNo, I canât let my father turn into a ghoul.â
Had her father been as young as Rong Yi, she might have thought about her fatherâs chance to become a ghoul like Jiang Mu who could still change back to human appearance, but her fatherâs body was in decline and he could no longer absorb any spiritual power. If he became a ghoul, he would only be a low level one once and for all.
The low level ghoul was no difference from a corpse, except that it would not decay and listen to the person who turned him into a ghoul.
Yin Yan no longer made a sound.
