Yuan Qi took the amulet and glanced at it. It was indeed faded, and the cinnabar on it was very light in color.

She placed the amulet aside and said, "The amulet protected you from evil spirits, so it has faded. It's no longer of any use to carry it with you."

The Feng family was not short of money, and Yuan Qi generously took out a Kunlun jade amulet from his cloth bag and handed it to her: "You are pregnant and are the focus of evil spirits. The jade amulet is more effective in warding off evil. Take this and wear it close to your body to ensure your safety and that of your child."

Bai Yulan is the daughter of the Bai family, one of the four great families, and the older sister of Bai Fujun. Naturally, she has seen good things before and recognized at a glance that this is Kunlun jade, which is priceless. If it is made into a jade talisman that can ward off disasters and evil spirits, it will be even more valuable.

She accepted the gift with a smile: "Thank you, Seventh Miss. How about we settle the incense money for the jade talisman later?"

Yuan Qi Tian Tian nodded: "No problem, Sister-in-law Feng, please feel free to do as you please. Just remember not to take it off when you go to sleep tonight."

Bai Yulan immediately replied, "Alright, I'll do as you say, Seventh Miss, and wear it day and night. Seventh Miss, is there something going to happen tonight?"

Yuan Qi said, "It's hard to say. If you encounter anything at night, don't be afraid. As long as you have this jade talisman, even if the underworld officials come, they can't do anything to you. But if the jade talisman breaks, you must come to me immediately."

Bai Yulan felt a little flustered and scared. From what the other party said, something would happen tonight. She nervously asked me, "If the jade talisman breaks, will it no longer be effective?"

“Exactly, not only that, it also shows that the other party is very powerful. But don’t be afraid, I set up a small array on the jade talisman, which can block a fatal blow and will not easily crack. Unless the other party is determined to fight to the death, nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, don’t be afraid, I will sense if the jade talisman cracks.”

Bai Yulan felt a little relieved after hearing Yuan Qi's words. She had already thought about it and decided to have her husband sleep here tonight, which would definitely ensure everything would be alright.

Inside the Feng family's main hall sat eight elderly men, all of whom were highly respected elders of the Feng family.

Feng Aotian sat in the main seat with a serious expression. He said to his wife, "I understand. You can go now. I'll talk to my uncles and elders."

Madam Feng said, "Then I'll take my leave now. I'll see if Miss Qi has anything else to do. If she does, I'll come and let you know."

Feng Aotian hummed in agreement and dismissed his wife. Only then did he address the others:

"Uncles and elders, have you heard of a very capable female Taoist priest recently?"

Feng Aotian looked at the elders seriously. He was worried that the elders would not trust a little girl, so he had prepared a lot of words to persuade them.

The elders all looked worried. They each represented their respective branches of the family, many of whose descendants had died young. They had consulted monks and Taoist priests, performed rituals, apologized to their ancestors, and pledged loyalty to the gods—they had done everything they could. But the younger generation still died young.

As for that capable little girl, they had naturally heard about her.

"I've heard about it. She's just a little girl, not even ten years old. How much skill could she possibly have? If you want to invite her to take a look, go ahead. We have no objection. It's just a last resort," said the most authoritative second uncle.

The other elders also nodded in agreement; they were at their wits' end.

Feng Aotian said, "I have already invited this young lady. She is the seventh young lady of the Jiang family, and her Taoist name is Yuan Qi. A few days ago, Caiyi's soul was detained, and it was she who went to the Ghost Realm to find Caiyi. I think she is quite capable and may be able to solve our family's problems."

This wasn't something to be proud of, so the second branch of the family kept it quiet. Feng Aotian also felt there was no need to make it public, since Feng Caixia was already dead and had received her punishment. Besides, spreading the word wouldn't benefit Feng Caiyi, so the elders were unaware of it.

The elders looked at each other, all quite surprised.

Uncle asked, "What exactly happened? How come we didn't know?"

Feng Aotian had no choice but to recount the entire feud between Feng Caixia and Feng Caiyi: "...Uncles and elders, it's not that I intentionally kept it from you, but it's really bad for Caiyi's reputation if word gets out, and the Jiang family probably wouldn't want us to do that either. This seventh young lady of the Jiang family seems to have quite a bit of influence over there. Just now, I took her for a walk around the mansion, and she stood outside the ancestral hall for a long time, even saying that we should open the ancestral graves. Just now, my wife told me that the seventh young lady also said that our ancestors colluded with the underworld officials, and that those children who died young were all killed because their souls were taken away."

That's really hard to accept.

The elders looked at each other, finding it unbelievable.

My second uncle was very displeased: "The children died young, causing chaos and disgrace to us. We have already failed our ancestors, and now we want to disturb their peace in the afterlife?"

Fifth Uncle also said, "Second Brother, you are mistaken. It is true that we cannot protect the children, and we will have no face to face our ancestors after we pass away. We are not the last of the Feng family line; even if we die, people will still burn paper money for us. But what about Aotian and Chenghai? If they die, the Feng family will truly be extinct. Do you think our ancestors will forgive us then?"

My second uncle snorted: "We can't easily disturb the ancestral graves."

Uncle Wu was puzzled: "A hundred years from now, no one will be burning paper money and offering incense to our ancestors. Do you think our ancestors will care if we disturb the ancestral graves? I think if we disturb the ancestral graves and open the coffins, and if it allows the Feng family descendants to continue, our ancestors will understand us."

Uncle Nine nodded: "That's right, Fifth Brother is right. Our ancestors didn't want the Feng family line to end."

Second Uncle still objected: "Master Huineng and Daoist Xuanqing both came to see the ancestral graves, and there's nothing wrong with them. Could it be that a little girl who's not even ten years old is more capable than the two of them? Aotian, you can believe that this little girl has some skills, but I don't think she's more capable than Master Huineng or Daoist Xuanqing. Neither of them mentioned opening the coffin. This little girl is definitely a fame-seeker who's just here to swindle money from our family."

Feng Aotian tried his best to explain: "But, Miss Qi walked the path to the underworld and saw the Northern Ghost Emperor. My son-in-law saw it with his own eyes. You all know who my son-in-law is. He is the commander of the Imperial Guards. His word is law. He would never utter a wild word. Please believe me this once. What if I can really solve our family's problem?"

Second Uncle snorted: "Jiang Juncai is also the Seventh Miss's brother, so naturally he will speak on behalf of his own sister. His words cannot be trusted."

Fifth Uncle was also helpless, but still wanted to try anything: "Second Brother, why are you so stubborn? Besides this, do we have any other ideas?"
