Chapter 313 Letting Go

Li Mu's attitude surprised Lin Wan a bit.

In a small voice, she asked, "What, you don't recommend this?"

"I can't say, I'm just a little worried..."

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that after Star Moon picks up her bones, she'll never be the Shen Xing Yue we know again."

He didn't speak loudly, but the others still heard him clearly.

Everyone was taken aback by his words, and the Slabbed Taoist hurriedly asked, "Brother Mu, then who could she be?"

"Shen Fangting!"

"I'm not going to turn into her!" Shen Xingyue shouted.

Third Auntie was also anxious, and said in a loud voice, "Yue Ni is Yue Ni, no one can think of hitting on my girl, Yue Ni, let's not take the bone, whatever secret it has, let it go to hell!"

Second Grandpa advised, "Third sister, don't get excited, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

"Think long and hard my ass, I told you, no one is allowed to hit on my girl, or else, don't blame me for not recognizing my six parents!"

"Yes, wifey, and me!" The Slabbed Taoist immediately chimed in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Fourth Grandpa hurriedly said, "Third sister, don't be in a hurry, let's take our time to combine this matter."

"Hoping for what, Hoping for how to make Old Ancestor Fang Ting return to her position? I don't object to her wanting to return to her soul by borrowing a corpse, but no hitting on my daughter's idea!"

"Third sister, don't worry, no one wants to hurt Yue Ni, she's your daughter and our family, everyone would even lay down their lives for her, how would they hit her."

The third aunt calmed down.

Second Grandfather took the opportunity to ask Li Mu, "Brother Mu, wasn't Old Ancestor Fang Ting killed by mistake by you, how could she have appropriated Yue Ni's body?"

"Second Uncle, I don't have a reason, I'm just worried that this will happen, if Fantine can hide in a stone beast, why can't she hide in a bone knife, as for the claim of manslaughter, who dares to guarantee that that will be the truth."

"Assuming all your guesses are correct, what is her reason for doing this?"

"It should have something to do with a secret, never a simple resurrection, of course, maybe I'm being petty, nothing may happen after Star Moon picks up her bones, she'll still be her."

That's true, but who dares to bet?

In case he got it right, wouldn't the third aunt cry to death on the spot.

However, if he didn't do so, he wouldn't be able to gain knowledge of the secret of the Bone Blade, and his ancestor's hard work in laying out his plans might be undone.

The ancestor had gone to such lengths, and his intentions must have been so great that if he didn't figure it out, how could he live up to his ancestors.

The second and fourth grandfathers sucked their teeth, this matter is really difficult.

Unless the third sister's mother and daughter agreed to take the bones, otherwise, this topic, they didn't even dare to mention it.

"Moo, do you have any good ideas?" Second Grandpa asked.

Li Mu answered honestly, "No!"

Fourth Grandpa said, "Maybe, we can find someone else to try?"

Second Grandfather shook his head and refused, "It's not right, if it's so simple, why would Old Ancestor deliberately leave these clues, her target is Yue Ni, others are simply not qualified."

Third Auntie said hatefully, "If I could see her, I would have to ask her properly why she wants to plague future generations of children, is the value of my family's Yue Ni's existence to provide her with a physical body?"

Several of the Shen family's old men found it difficult.

From the perspective of family development, bone-setting is the right thing to do.

Only then is it possible to be informed of the hidden secrets left behind by our ancestors.

That's most likely a huge amount of money.

After obtaining this wealth, the Shen family's current predicament would be solved without breaking, and they would no longer have to worry about making ends meet.

This was a major event that concerned a lot of people, and it could even be said that it also concerned the survival of the Li family.

After all, the Li family does not have any source of income now, all expenses are dependent on the Shen family, so many people to eat and drink, the Shen family's wealth is small and weak, and is about to be unable to support.

One might say, why not go open source?

There's certainly nothing wrong with saying that, and in fact, both families are racking their brains for open source.

But distant water can not quench the thirst of the near, business is not robbing a bank, dry after a vote, steep and rich.

That's destined to take a process, and it's not going to be that easy.

And, one cannot afford to wait for what one needs to live.

It takes real money to eat and clothe yourself, and you'll be starving and mummified long before you want to wind up in a few years.

It was for these reasons that Second Grandfather and the others were curious to know what the hidden secrets passed down from their old ancestor were.

Can this cryptic help them, to solve their current dilemma.

But then again, on a personal level, they can't do that.

Those words of Lemu's were not smooth talk, he may have told the truth.

Shen Fangting could hide in a stone beast, why couldn't she hide in a bone knife.

The Old Ancestor's arts were divine, leaving them and their descendants in the dust.

Just because they couldn't see anything strange about the bone knife didn't mean that there wouldn't be something else in it.

This is not an alarmist statement.

Just a short while ago, they had similarly failed to see the mysteries on the stone beast.

And the results.

Old Ancestor Fang Ting was hiding in a strange space, despising these indomitable descendants of the latter with great disdain.

If it was really said by Li Mu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The act of picking up Shen Xingyue's bones would probably harm her.

It wasn't just the third aunt who was worried, the others were equally worried.

Everyone was afraid that this matter would become a reality, and that the awakened Shen Xing Yue would never be the same Yue Ni again.

The risk is just too great for anyone to try.

Yue Ni is the third aunt's heart, and likewise everyone's heart, and is also the head of the Shen family, so everyone is not willing to take risks with her.

It's just that, if you don't, it's impossible to know what hidden secrets are contained within the bone knife.

A few of the men let out long sighs, all at a loss.

On this issue, Shen Xingyue's attitude was completely uncooperative.

She could sacrifice her life for the Shen family, but she would never agree to become someone else.

She could almost conclude that the so-called Fangting Old Ancestor also liked Mu, and she didn't want to change her identity to love Mu.

There was no room for negotiation in this matter, Shen Xingyue was Shen Xingyue and could never be another woman.

Li Mu slipped the bone knife into his bosom and got up to head outside.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wan shouted behind him.

"I'm feeling a little stuffy, going out on deck to get some air!"

After saying this, Li Mu pushed the door and walked out.

The blackness outside seemed to fade a bit, no longer pitch black.

In the sky, there was still no sun, moon or stars, but it had turned from black to gray.

I don't know what time it is, let's call it daytime.

The deck was empty, and Li Mu stood on the bow of the ship, looking out over the gray sea, his heart rippling.

A hand took his arm, and he didn't turn around, knowing it was his wife following.

Lin Wan leaned on his shoulder and accompanied him as he breathed in the sea air.

"Hubby, do you think that this sea is real?"

"I don't know, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries in this world, and this should be considered one!"

"I think it's real!"

Reimu glanced at her and smiled, "What makes you so sure?"

"There's no reason, it's my gut."

Li Mu cast his gaze back to the sea and muttered, "If that's really the case, then it's really amazing, I'm afraid I can't figure out why for the rest of my life?"

"The world is supposed to be amazing, there are so many things we don't know, we don't have to think hard about the reasoning behind it, just dare to accept it."

Li Mu laughed, "There's nothing we can do if we don't want to accept it, the situation we're in now is that we're rushing to the duck, we have to accept it if we don't want to."

Lin Wan laughed with him.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly asked, "You didn't come out alone just to get some air, did you?"

It's true that old couples know each other very well.

Just now in the cabin, a subtle change in Li Mu's expression was seen by Niang Lin.

She knew that her husband should have thought of something, and that his purpose in coming out was definitely not to get some air.

Li Mu's complexion became complicated as he said softly, "I intend to give it away."

"Send who away?"

Reimu pulled out the bone knife from his pocket and placed it across his hand.

"You want to lose this bone knife?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be reintroduced to the world, and I want to keep it."

"You suspect Shen Fontaine is hiding in there?"

Reimu shook his head.

"Fang Ting is a good girl, gentle and kind, if she wanted to kill Xing Yue, she could have done it in the underground cave, she didn't need to go through all this trouble, the reason why I said that was to scare those elders, it wasn't my intention."

"You're scaring them on purpose?"

"How can they understand my behavior if I don't let them have scruples."

"Why did you have to throw it away?"

"Honey, there must be a hidden passage hidden in there."

"Yeah, it actually matches perfectly with Star Moon's missing ribs, this thing is so unbelievable that I can't figure out the reasoning at all."

"That's the reason why I'm going to discard it, I'm worried that after Star Moon's bone grafting, it'll change the trajectory of many people's lives from now on, whereas I just want to spend my life peacefully, it's better to let these long hidden secrets become a past tense completely!"

Lin Wan took his arm and gave him a gentle nod.

"I see what you mean; the future is uncertain in its fortunes, and this secrecy may not be a good thing for us; it is better to let it go with the wind than to risk seeking the truth."

"That's the truth, I just want to return to Danxia Island, run our lives, look for an opportunity to help you take back the Lin family, and then we'll grow old together hand in hand and live out our lives in peace, for me, being secretive doesn't have much appeal anymore."

Lin Wan was silent for a while and said softly, "Send it away!"

"You help me!"

"We're coming together!"

Together, the two men held the bone knife and tilted it into the sea, watching it sink until it was lost in the gray sea.

"Let's go, go back and explain to them, I hope everyone can forgive me." Li Mu said.

"Wait!" Lin Wan tugged at him, "I have a few words I want to say to you."

"Go ahead!"

"I can turn a blind eye to what's going on with Star Moon, including Xiao Yu, and I can do that."

Reimu looked at her in surprise, wondering why she had suddenly turned around.

No, don't be swindling me on purpose, can't fall for that.

"Honey, what are you babbling about?"

"I'm not bullshitting you, I've been thinking about it since the kids are gone, and it's been convincing me to accept the reality of it, forcing me to accept them."

"And say it's not bullshit, what does it have to do with the baby?"

"I saw the doctor before we left!"

Liamu suddenly tensed up and asked apprehensively, "What's wrong with you?"

"The doctor said I'm afraid it's going to be hard for me to get pregnant again."
