“Sister, I want to go to the ancestral hall to see Grandma.”

Gu Yuan’s expression looked very calm, but his slightly hoarse voice revealed that he wasn’t as calm as he appeared.

He had been on duty at the Commandant of the Capital for a few days and hadn’t returned to the residence. He had no idea that Gu Yanfei had quietly done this in just two days.

His sister!

Gu Yuan rubbed Gu Yanfei’s head. He felt proud of her, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

The brother and sister went to the Gu family’s ancestral hall on the west road of the Gu residence. Gu Yanfei personally enshrined the modified Gu family register in front of her grandmother’s memorial tablet.

A wisp of sandalwood filled the dim ancestral hall.

The brother and sister each held three incense sticks and kneeled on the futon. They respectfully kowtowed three times. Gu Yuan was the first to insert the incense sticks into the three-legged incense burner in front of the memorial tablet.

Gu Yanfei looked at her grandmother’s memorial tablet with incense in her hand. Her cherry lips moved slightly as she muttered.

This was the last step.

Thin green smoke curled into her eyes from the burning thread fragrance, and tears welled up in her sore eyes.

In her slightly blurry vision, the white light on her grandmother’s memorial tablet gradually became brighter. It lingered around the memorial tablet like smoke and mist, as if it had touched Gu Yuan’s forehead.

Gu Yuan seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head and looked in front, but he only saw with his mortal eyes and couldn’t see anything.

Gu Yanfei felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes burned. She raised her hand and quickly made a hand seal.

The air seemed to tremble slightly, producing invisible ripples.

In the closed ancestral hall, a cold wind blew for no reason. In an instant, the two rows of candles on the candle racks on both sides were almost blown out. The candles shrank to a point, and the surroundings darkened.

That white light floated above Gu Yanfei’s head and disappeared.

The wind stopped, and the candles on both sides burned again. Light returned to the ancestral hall.

“Sister?” Gu Yuan’s slightly excited eyes met Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away, and he asked silently.

“Grandmother’s soul has just returned to reincarnation,” Gu Yanfei said as she walked to the incense burner and inserted the three incense sticks in her hand.

The last time, after she rectified her grandmother’s name, her grandmother escaped the fate of her soul dissipating. Her soul gradually condensed together. After being nourished by incense in the ancestral hall for more than a month, her soul finally became much stronger and recovered 70 to 80%.

However, Qi Zhaoning was Qi Chao’an’s substitute. As long as Qi Chao’an still had a bond with her, she couldn’t escape this cage and obtain a new life.

Now, Gu Yanfei had finally severed this last strand of restraint.

From then on, there was no longer Qi Zhao’an and her bloodline on the Gu family register. Only Qi Zhaoning was left.

From this moment on, Qi Zhaoning had nothing to do with Qi Chao’an anymore.

Qi Zhaoning was only Qi Zhaoning herself, the wife of her grandfather, Gu Xuan, and the biological mother of her father, Gu Co. She was no longer anyone’s substitute.

And after being trapped for more than 30 years, her soul could finally return to its original position and enter reincarnation.

Gu Yanfei heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of her lips and eyebrows curled up gently, looking radiant.

“How nice…” A low sigh escaped from Gu Yuan’s thin lips, and his cold lips slowly curled up.

He pressed his palms together and bowed three more times respectfully at the memorial tablet. He was finally relieved.

The brother and sister quickly came out of the ancestral hall. The air outside was much fresher than in the ancestral hall. It was mixed with the faint fragrance of pine trees, making one feel refreshed.

“Meow!”

As soon as they went out, he saw a yellow, white, and black fur ball flash past like a storm not far ahead. The cat meowed as it chased after a colorful butterfly, its feather-duster-like tail raised high.

The smooth hair of the calico cat shone under the sun. It was unbelievably beautiful.

Gu Yuan looked at the cat’s back in surprise. “Qing Guang is back?”

If it weren’t for his sister emphasizing that Qing Guang wasn’t lost, Gu Yuan would have considered calling the soldiers of the five cities to search for the cat in the city.

“It came back the day before yesterday.” Gu Yanfei pretended to brush her left sleeve. She was afraid that her big brother would ask where the cat had been these days, so she changed the topic calmly. “Big Brother, why are you back so early today? Are you on a break?”

Gu Yanfei looked at Gu Yuan with some sympathy.

Her big brother was really busy. He usually had to work and was always busy. Occasionally, he would be at home on a day off. He was also busy practicing martial arts and reading military books, unwilling to rest for a moment. He wished he could use all 24. hours..
